The imperial capital is a paradise for nobles at night, and the Dream Bar is the place with the most wealthy people in paradise.
Bailey-Reeves opened the door of a luxurious box and strode in.
"I'm so sorry," Bailey said with a smile on his face, "I'm late!"
There were two people sitting in the box. One of them was a sturdy young man wearing white clothes, while the other was wearing a costume made of black spotted leopard fur.
Seeing Bailey walking in with a smile on his face even though he said he was sorry, the strong young man frowned and then returned to his original state.
Bailey waved his hand, followed by the two young men wearing magician robes behind him, bowed slightly, and immediately exited the room, closing the door behind him.
When there were only three people left in the room, Bailey pulled out a chair and sat at the table. Then he reached for the wine bottle containing the best Bordeaux and poured half a glass of bright red Bordeaux wine into the empty crystal glass in front of him. . Then, Bailey put down the wine bottle, picked up the transparent crystal glass with two fingers, and shook it gently. The bright red Bordeaux wine sloshes in the clear crystal glass, reflecting the dazzling brilliance.
Although he knew clearly that the son of the imperial political affairs minister Chad Reeves in front of him was just trying to gain some initiative in the negotiations, the young man wearing clothes made of black spotted leopard fur still couldn't help but say: "Bailey Sir, did you invite us here just to show off your wine tasting skills?”
Bailey smiled at the two young men in front of him, showing his white teeth. He said calmly: "Don't be so panicked, why don't we taste the delicious food here first! I believe you two must have no experience in the south. I’ve heard of it.”
The strong young man in a white suit stood up and said in a sonorous voice: "Thank you for your hospitality. I think I prefer the barbecue in my hometown."
After saying these words, the young man in white walked to the door in a few steps, opened the door, and strode out.
"Letoz!" The young man wearing black spotted leopard fur called his companion's name, then he turned his head and looked at Bailey deeply, and said with a pun: "Ivan has had the hardest meal ever. We ate barbecue and drank the most delicious wine. But in our hearts, no matter how unpalatable the barbecue in our hometown is, it belongs to us, and no matter how delicious the wine in the imperial capital is, it belongs to others."
After saying that, Ivan also walked out of the room in a few steps.
Bailey still had a smile on his face, but his eyes showed a trace of murderous intent. Bailey, who had lived in the imperial capital since childhood, had never encountered a situation like tonight because his father was the imperial minister of state. , he slammed the crystal cup in his hand to the ground.
Along with the sound of the crystal cup breaking, bright red liquid splashed onto the ground, dyeing the carpet made of linen red.
"Bai Lei, are you angry again?" A woman's voice sounded from outside the door.
Bailey said without looking back: "Mother, these guys from the countryside really don't give me face! Mother, please tell your chamber of commerce tomorrow that from now on, for the Silent Forest in the South I have tripled the price of daily necessities, I don’t believe these country people won’t cry and beg me!”
Bailey's mother, Mary Shelley, shook her head and said, "Son, this is not a good idea."
Bailey turned his head sharply and said to his mother: "Why? Didn't you say that anyone who cannot be controlled cannot be trusted and must be prepared to deal with him in advance!"
Shellis shook her head and said, "Bailey, I did say that, but that was when I was in control of the overall situation. Now that you are officially suppressing the seventeen tribes in the Southern Silent Forest, it will make things worse." You can't control it. You know, because of your father, my chamber of commerce can monopolize transactions in several areas in the south. If you don't have a legitimate reason and increase the price of daily necessities by such a large amount, other chambers of commerce will only take advantage of it. Income. The huge profit between cost and selling price, even the order of the Imperial Minister of State cannot stop those profit-seeking businessmen!"
Bailey said displeasedly: "Then mother, should I just let it go?"
Shelley comforted Bailey and said: "Child, of course we can't let it go like this, but your methods are too drastic and can easily arouse resistance from others. For such a hunter wandering in the forest, the majesty of the empire is It’s not as good as a cart full of white sea salt.”
Bailey said: "What should we do?"
Shellis said: "We are not yet in control of the overall situation in the empire. We can only say that we have great influence. So, my child, what you have to do now is to keep making allies, rather than using Means of suppression. The Southern Silent Forest area does not have much strength. Since you have not reached an agreement with them, forget it. But... "
Shelley changed her tone and said sternly to Bailey: "You must never bring your personal feelings into our important affairs again, otherwise don't say that I will no longer protect you."
Bailey said unconvinced: "Mother, I don't understand why you and my father don't agree with my pursuit of Faras, and even my father is somewhat opposed. Faras's father is the imperial finance minister. If our two families get married, So in the empire, we will soon be able to take control of the overall situation, right?"
Shelley said: "Sure enough, this is the reason. My child, you have disappointed me and your father so much."
Bailey said, "I just can't figure it out!"
Shelley said: "I have always hoped that you could figure this out on your own, but it seems that I am destined to be disappointed. Do you think your plan is very useful? Do you think His Majesty the Emperor will just sit back and watch the marriage of two powerful ministers? Is it? The emperor is not too old now, but it can be clearly seen that he is not as gentle as the previous Majesty. He has only been in power for a short time, so many ministers make the decision, but he is more clever. Maintaining a balance, allowing three ministers with real power to check each other."
Shelley pulled out a chair, and Bailey quickly walked over and helped his mother sit down. Shellis nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Once you marry Farasi, the current balance of the empire will be completely broken. At that time, I am afraid that we will soon face the suppression of His Majesty the Emperor. .With our current strength, there is no way we can fight against it!"
Bailey said: "But I don't understand why His Majesty's most trusted leader of the Royal Knights can marry Farasi's sister? Doesn't that also increase Luke's strength?"
