Update first and then fix~
"Young man... do you know what it means when you say this?"
There was a strong elders' preaching tone in his words.
Hearing Ren's "Go away", the old man named Rafael Rosas was not angry, but the sarcasm on his face became more and more intense.
Humph, he's just a young man who doesn't know what's good or bad.
He, the "Minister of Commerce", is now the top powerful figure in the Kingdom of Glory, and not many people dare to speak to him in this tone. Even the dukes and princes of the two empires, facing him now, have to weigh whether they dare to offend themselves.
He thought that Ren was dumbfounded and could not understand the situation in front of him, so he ignored it. He turned his head and looked at Canossa aside, and asked in a deep voice: "President Canosha, is this what you mean?"
After a pause, he emphasized: "Is this also what you mean by the 'Black Gold Chamber of Commerce'?"
... ...
When these words were brought to the Chamber of Commerce, the threat became obvious.
The "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" is now suppressed in the two major empires, and this is something everyone knows.
From all aspects, the business of various large and small commercial banks under Black Gold has shrunk by at least 50% in the past two years!
If it weren't for the support of some local nobles in the remote areas of Sid, they would have lost their foothold long ago.
Everyone thinks that the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" cannot survive in the two empires and will definitely not give up the market in Glory City again.
Although the current territory of the Kingdom of Glory is not as large as the two major empires, the future is promising. According to this development momentum, within a few years, it will definitely become another super empire that is not inferior to the two major empires.
Businessmen are just chasing profits.
He felt that as long as President Canossa was not stupid, he would not dare to give up this "last life-saving straw."
If you want to gain a foothold, you can only seek help from them in Glory City.
That's why he prescribed this formula at a humiliating price of "100 million liso".
Of course, buying the formula was more to test her bottom line.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
What the Rosas family wants is not only the wealth of the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce", but also all its resources, mature channels, stores, and intelligence networks...
This is truly a chicken that can continue to lay golden eggs.
... ...
Just as Marquis Raphael was confidently waiting for Canosha to change his face and beg him, suddenly, he realized that something was not right.
The expression of the woman in front of me was too calm. Instead of seeing any anger after being humiliated, there was a hint of teasing in her eyes
At this time, Canosha also spoke and said calmly: "What Your Majesty Ren means is what I mean."
"you!"
Marquis Raphael's face froze. He never expected to hear such a sentence, and threatened in a deep voice: "Do you know that you will completely ruin the chances of your Black Gold Chamber of Commerce?!"
Canossa raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, then said calmly: "It seems that you didn't hear clearly what His Majesty Ren meant. Do you want me to repeat it again?"
After hearing this, Raphael was finally angered.
If he were a stupid young man, he could say that he did not understand the overall situation and spoke arrogantly; but when this Black Gold President spoke, he was directly humiliating people!
He directly threw out his trump card and threatened: "I heard that you Black Gold spent huge sums of money to purchase a large number of materials for territory construction. Do you know that as long as I say a word, no matter how low the price is, no territory in Glory City will buy it. . Your batch of supplies will just rot in your hands!"
Canosha previously purchased a large amount of building materials from the Sid Empire. The amount was so huge that it was impossible to hide this from others. What's more, many craftsmen were recruited. Anyone would know that this move was because he took a fancy to the opportunity of establishing a country in "Glory City", wanted to expand his territory massively, and wanted to make a fortune.
After all, the only one who can afford that amount of materials now is the "Glory Kingdom"!
Therefore, this is the biggest bargaining chip that Marquis Raphael has always had.
As the Minister of Commerce, he holds the kingdom's commercial throat. As long as he doesn't agree, the materials from the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce will never pass through "Xianfeng Pass".
He felt that unless Canossa was crazy, it would be impossible for her to refuse!
Canosha had lost interest in talking to him and said, "I won't bother you to worry about how our Chamber of Commerce's materials work."
This indifferent tone made Marquis Raphael feel nakedly humiliated.
"Good! Very good!"
His face turned purple with anger, and without mincing words, he threatened: "I can guarantee that after today, your black gold will never have a foothold in any territory of our Kingdom of Glory! I will also inform Omahid about the business affairs of the two empires. The Ministry will completely ban you! I hope you won’t regret it then!”
Canossa seemed to turn a deaf ear, her expression as normal.
Renn on the side was not interested in listening to the old guy's nagging and said to her: "President Canossa, let's go."
Canosha smiled slightly, gave Ren En enough face, and said obediently: "Okay, Your Majesty Ren."
"stop!"
After being ignored by a young man one after another, the powerful minister of Glory City's face became increasingly ugly, and he was vaguely angry.
Not to mention after becoming the minister of the kingdom, even in the past few decades, the Rosas family was one of the five major families in Glory City. When had they ever received such an insult
The Glory City family is the only one to the west of the "Alcoron Mountains". No matter how big the nobles of your two empires are, they have no right to run wild here!
He looked at Ren and asked with a cold face: "Who is your Excellency?"
... ...
"Ah."
Seeing that his way was blocked by several servants, Ren was not polite at all. He shouted angrily: "I'm just a Marquis of the Kingdom, and you deserve to ask me my name? Get out!"
Who doesn’t know how to pretend to be X
Now that you are pretending to be the "Minister of Commerce" to overwhelm others with power, labor and management are the dignified Lord of Black Dragon City, and are you trying to compare yourself to your king
After a pause, he sneered again: "Old guy, you are not qualified to talk to me. It's better to ask that guy Kipling Winter to come in person!"
Before he finished speaking, there was a crisp slap in the face.
Without waiting for any reaction from the other party, Ren slapped the servant who was blocking the way on the cheek, knocking him to the ground with bloody teeth flying everywhere.
He raised his neck, showing off his "aura of dominance", and walked towards the banquet hall without looking back, taking steps like he didn't recognize his relatives.
Seeing his arrogance, Canossa snickered in her heart and quickly followed him.
The old man Raphael and several servants were left standing there with stiff expressions on their faces.
After a while, Marquis Raphael became furious: "Check! Find out for me who that kid is!"
... ... .
Canossa quickly caught up, took Ren's arm, and chuckled: "Wow, my dear City Lord, you were so majestic just now. You... I seem to be a little tempted."
"oh?"
The "aura of overlord" in Renn's eyes has not yet dissipated.
Hearing this, he looked at the peerless beauty in front of him with aggressive eyes, stretched out his hand to hold her chin, and pressed her lips domineeringly onto those gorgeous red lips.
Canossa didn't mean to refuse, and kissed her passionately for a moment.
Renn smiled evilly: "What about this?"
Canosha's eyebrows were as curved as the moon, with a bright smile on her face: "It feels pretty good."
Ren didn't covet the ultimate tenderness, and entered the banquet hall with Canosha.
... ...
The two entered the banquet hall and scanned the layout, but found no special "traps".
There were thousands of people in the huge banquet hall.
After a quick glance, the system could not identify any masters, at least none of the "Top Ten Legends" or the high-end combat power of Glory City.
Some large auction items have been placed on the stage-renovated temporary auction stage, among which a huge iron cage is particularly eye-catching.
It seems that just for people to see, there is no cover in the iron cage, and locked inside is a giant covered in blood.
Naturally, Renne could tell at a glance that it was "Hab", Coleman's former number one fighter, one of tonight's auction items.
At this moment, Habu in the cage was covered in blood and had a "forbidden magic collar" around his neck. The totem has been peeled off, and there are two alchemy arrows inserted into the shoulder blades of both shoulders. This has disabled the circulation of meridians in his upper body, and the whole person looks very weak.
Ren unconsciously wanted to take another look, but at this time, Canosha held his cheeks with both hands, turned to herself, bit her ear and whispered: "With the extraordinary sentience system, don't look too much."
"Um."
Ren understood instantly and hugged her slender waist.
Obviously, there are hidden masters hiding in the dark that his senses cannot see.
When the two arrived, they still instantly became the focus of the audience. Their appearance and aura were so eye-catching, like hot flames in the dark night, that they couldn't be hidden at all.
In addition, the scene at the entrance of the banquet hall just now was also spread by interested people. At this moment, all the nobles and businessmen in the banquet hall were extremely curious about Ren's identity.
No, not long after entering the door, someone came over with a wine glass, seemingly intending to get close to him.
Canosha was not interested in talking to anyone anymore. The main theme tonight was fighting, not talking about business cooperation.
She gestured to the dance floor next to her and asked coquettishly: "Lord City Lord, do you want to invite me to dance?"
Ren agreed happily: "Okay."
The auction hasn't started yet, but there is a warm-up dance before it.
Everyone who can come to the manor is rich or noble. This is an auction and a social gathering of the upper class.
This is customary.
Gorgeously dressed ladies and gentlemen in suits and gowns crowded into the venue and danced to the soft music.
Canosha held the hem of her skirt with one hand and Ren's hand with the other, and stepped onto the dance floor lightly and gracefully.
The two of them didn't have any of the tension before the battle. They hugged each other intimately or danced in circles to the soothing music rhythm...
As soon as they entered the dance floor, they immediately became the center of attention.
Canossa's dancing posture is as graceful as her body.
Her dancing posture makes people feel as if the beauty all around them is eclipsed, and only the graceful and graceful overlapping images are seen in their eyes.
Light and agile, elegant and charming, her long black gauze dress makes her look like a black swan, exuding a peerless and independent aloof temperament...
And the dance partner held by the delicate hand, wearing a crisp white suit, looks heroic and equally eye-catching.
Although Ren's muscles are very strong, his dancing posture is not stiff at all. His ability to control nerves and muscles is now extremely high, and every movement can be completed just right.
There is a hint of domineering in his dancing style as a gentleman.
The two danced happily on the dance floor, and the lights focused on them.
The temperament of the two of them is really too dazzling.
Those bold aristocratic ladies and ladies covered their mouths and whispered softly when they saw Ren, without showing their admiration at all.
"Oh my God, that man is so handsome. Wow, I will definitely invite him to dance soon..."
"Why didn't I meet such a generous man earlier..."
"Oh my God, where does he come from? I've never seen him before?"
"I just heard that he seems to be the 'Lord of Black Dragon City' Renn Hermes..."
"..."
The men were attracted by Canossa's beautiful temperament.
"I have long heard that President Canosha of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce is extremely beautiful. When I saw it today, it was indeed extraordinary..."
"Who is this young man? Why does he look so unfamiliar? I am quite familiar with the young heroes of the two empires, but I have no impression that there is such a number one figure."
"I heard that it seems to be a lord named 'Black Dragon City', named Ren Hermes."
"Where is Black Dragon City? Oma, or in Sid?"
"..."
Before the dance was finished, the names of "Black Dragon City" and the city's lord Ren were spread throughout the banquet hall by word of mouth.
People are talking about the strange Black Dragon City and the mysterious city lord who they have never heard of.
... ... .
On the other hand.
Not long after, Rafael Rosas, who had been humiliated before, obtained detailed information about Renne.
"Sir, it has been confirmed that Ren Hermes is the son of Princess Ymir of Oma."
"Princess Oma's person? So, his noble status is not fake?"
"Yes, my lord."
"Did that guy bring any guards? Are there people from Princess Oma's lineage?"
"No. There are only guards from the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce outside the manor, and that [Dragon Spear] Sam is the more difficult one."
"Haha, you dare to come to my glorious country and run wild without any guards?"
"But... Sir. If the eldest princess has established a territory, and if Ren is the city lord... based on his title, he may really be a royal. We..."
"Hmph! For a down-and-out royal family, the only thing they can show off is their title. The eldest princess who begged our Glory City to give her permission to build a city has been missing for more than half a year. She probably went back to Oma and found a remote place. Let’s build a city in a corner. Now in Oma’s political arena, she has no say at all. She is just a lost dog, not worth mentioning!”
"Then Sir... Now that the eldest princess and the 'Black Gold Merchant Guild' are united, there may be something hidden. Should we investigate again?"
"Now our Kingdom of Glory has absolute control west of the Alcoron Mountains. Not to mention a poor princess, even if Emperor Omar comes and dares to act wild, we don't have to be polite. Now the 'Black Gold Chamber of Commerce' must find an opportunity to eat it Yes, now that President Canossa is here, we must not let her go! Since she doesn’t know what is right and what is wrong, then... arrest her first!"
"Yes, sir."
