In the 217th year of the New Caesar's Calendar, on July 20th, a high-rise mansion in the west area of Shawan Harbor.
Drenched in sweat and having just experienced a 'battle', Kinkade's entire body lay on a soft velvet sofa.
On the small table connected to the sofa, freshly arrived ice wine was prepared, and beside it were two naked women sitting on small stools. One was pouring wine for him, feeding him with fruit pieces strung on a toothpick, and the other was sticking almost his whole body behind his back, holding his back.
This kind of life is simply too comfortable, especially compared to the life he lived in the wasteland more than 20 years ago.
Kinkade is a businessman who is engaged in fur and monster raw material trade. He is also one of the three senior speakers of the General Affairs Office of Shawan Port. He represents the interests of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce.
More than twenty years ago, when he was still young, he was just a guard captain in the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce. At that time, the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce was still as large as it is today. At that time, he led his men to fight against monsters, robbers, sand robbers, warlords' plundering teams, and guards of other competing chambers of commerce in the wasteland.
After fighting for several years, after the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce became Schindler's leading power, he, who used to know nothing but killing people, also became a veteran of the Chamber of Commerce, and his status closely followed keep improving. And, six years ago, he was assigned to Shawan Port and became the representative of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce here.
When it comes to business, he actually doesn't know much about it. But it doesn't matter, he has several caravans under the name of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce, and there are specially hired managers to take care of him. He only needs to invest money and wait for the return.
Moreover, he prefers the position of the chairman of the General Affairs Office to doing business.
Sandy Bay Harbor is a rare and prosperous place in the land of Schindler. As a purely commercial port city, although the area of Sand Bay Port is not large, it is not as magnificent as Beast Blood Fortress, it does not have a heavy history like Cinderella, and it is not as gloomy as Lost City. In terms of scale, Shawan Port is quite different from these three famous big cities in the wilderness. But from the point of view of simply being suitable for living, Kinkade felt that Sandy Bay Port was better than any city on the wasteland.
This is especially true for the rich and powerful.
Blowing the wind on the beach, enjoying the food, wine and luxury goods shipped from all over the world, playing with beauties recklessly, this kind of life was something he never dared to dream of when he was fighting with swords decades ago of.
Kinkade, who is in his fifties this year, doesn't know how many years he hasn't fought with anyone. Of course, he used to be a powerful fighter, but look at the loose skin and muscles, and the soft belly that has protruded a lot. He also knows that his current strength may not have known his weakness for a long time. to what extent.
But it doesn't matter. The two bodyguards standing outside the door were no less powerful than they were in their heyday, but they could only be bodyguards. As for yourself, you can enjoy it wantonly here.
So, strength is nothing
He felt that he could live for a long time, and he didn't have too many other ideals. It would be a wonderful thing to spend the rest of his life among fine wine, food and beauties. As for things like working hard and regaining his former strength... Ever since he started to fall into the beauty brought by money, he never thought about it again.
For him, enjoying money and power is the next biggest task in his life. Anyone who can't get along with him in this respect is his sworn enemy.
The new warlord Dane, who has been the owner of Sandy Bay Port for almost a month, has the potential to become his sworn enemy.
After all, Kinkade has been sitting as one of the three chairmen of the General Affairs Office of Shahaiwan Port for so many years. Of course, he can see that a month ago, just after Dane fully occupied the Shahaiwan Port, his agent Wei Li The new tax bill announced by Na Na was a serious challenge to the merchant forces by the warlord forces.
The warlords managed the military, collected tribute, and thus handed over the entire city to the merchants to manage themselves. This model has existed for many years in Shawan Port. It can even be said that from the time when Shawan Port was first established until now, the city has always been run by the merchants themselves, and no warlord has ever managed to completely control the city in their own hands.
Dane's new tax bill clearly shows the meaning of this aspect.
At that time, Kinkade was very angry. On the same day, he requested to cancel the trip of the General Affairs Office to send a representative to meet Lord Dane, and arrogantly asked Dane to visit the General Affairs Office in person. It's just that it's a pity that Dane didn't come, and all the methods he had prepared to humiliate the new warlord were useless, which made him very regretful.
He didn't feel that he was walking through the gate of hell.
Afterwards, he quickly got in touch with the representatives of the Shire United Chamber of Commerce and the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce in Shahaiwan Port, and quickly made a decision to use the powerful control of the three major chambers of commerce over various industries in Shahaiwan Port to cause all kinds of troubles and destroy The plan for the level of development of the city. There are many small tricks that make Verina very disgusting, which he personally formulated and ordered to implement.
Seeing that Shawan Port fell into decline step by step in a very short period of time, his mood became better and better.
"This is the power of power!" he often thought.
Kinkade didn't think there would be any problem at all. It was all Dane's fault. Who made this ignorant warlord fantasize about taking control of the city from the hands of the merchants? Honestly, like his predecessors, wouldn't it be good to have the tribute
In fact, if you really want to say it, tribute Jin Kade is not willing to give. However, after all, he holds a knife in his hand, so he still needs to show some face.
However, somewhat beyond his expectations, Dane was more resistant than he had imagined. Up to now, the overall trade volume of the city has declined by nearly 15%, but the one sitting in the guard camp The woman named Verina is still very tough.
This made Kinkade somewhat annoyed.
"Well, I want to see how resistant that stinky bitch Verina and Dane behind this stinky bitch are!"
With this in mind, he heard a hasty knock on the door. (To be continued.)
