The unwise choice of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce caused them to lose a veteran figure who founded the Chamber of Commerce in Shawan Port, and at the same time made them a member of Dane's blacklist.
The Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, which is ignorant of current affairs, was thrown into limbo by Dane, and Verina was required to be strict with the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, caravans, merchants, and other commercial and industrial activities in Shawan Port's various policies. impose heavy taxes. In addition, Verina was also asked to stare at them fiercely, and once she found any actions that did not comply with—even a little bit—laws, regulations, and various provisions of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce, she would be punished immediately. very severe punishment.
This is quite a targeted action, and, for a chamber of commerce, it is almost tantamount to declaring war.
The General Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, which reciprocated, immediately announced that it would reduce the transportation and export of resource commodities such as fur and minerals under their control to Shawan Port.
But Dane wasn't afraid of them at all.
The lifeblood of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce, or their most advantageous commercial industry, lies in the collection and export of these raw materials.
Raw materials are always sold to others when they are mined, so for a place with underdeveloped productivity in New Lyle, the best direction for them to sell these raw materials is the relatively high-productivity Western human society. And the Shire Continent, whose production of raw materials is not enough for its own use.
However…
Needless to say on the Shire continent, the Shire United Chamber of Commerce and Dane are now almost in a very intimate honeymoon period. Especially when Dane handed over almost all of the export of raw materials under his own name to the Shire United Chamber of Commerce as an agent, in fact, in the short term, they are not particularly lacking in those provided by the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce. share.
Of course, as far as the production of resources and commodities in Dane's hands is concerned, it is certainly impossible to consume the entire Shire continent. However, Schindler is not the only source of raw materials, and sufficient raw materials can be imported from other places. What's more, even if it's just Schindler's place, can the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce really monopolize the production and export of all resource commodities? Totally impossible!
If they can do this, then they are the kings of Schindler, and Oze, Conley, etc., can sleep well.
It is precisely because of this that although the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce holds such a powerful 'weapon', it is not very easy for them to threaten the Shire United Chamber of Commerce or the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce with these resource industries. real thing.
As for the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce, their attitude after this turmoil occurred is completely different from that of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce.
Although the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce sent a letter of protest immediately after Clarice was arrested, their actions were not as intense as those of Shen Jin. What's even more strange is that during the fermentation process of the subsequent incidents, they kept a strangely silent attitude.
As if they didn't care much about Clarice's life or death.
Of course, this is just Verina's feeling. She does feel a little bit, as if the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce has a meaning of "losing Shawan Harbor in exchange for Clarice's death, it is worthwhile."
This is a very interesting thing.
What's also worth pondering is that during the initial period of her arrest, Clarice was still very active in trying to get rid of this prisoner status.
Although she was not abused, the environment she lived in prison was comparable to a hotel. But freedom is still very important, especially for Clarice.
Verina did not block Clarice's access to outside news during these days. After hearing a lot of news about the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce, the woman in red obviously guessed something.
She didn't tell anyone, but it was clear that her spirits had grown a little depressed. Even after being held for a week, she started drinking heavily and passed out several times in between.
When the jailer guarding Clarice reported the news to Verina, Verina realized that her previous guess was likely to be correct.
She has also heard some rumors about Clarice being the lover of Prince Hawkeye, and some of why Clarice was expelled from the prosperous Pudley Kingdom to the relatively wild Sandy Bay port.
Queen Susan Bella of the Pudley Kingdom was not a particularly jealous woman. But after all, the queen is famous, she may turn a blind eye to her husband's lover, after all, it's just a political marriage. But it was unlikely to be tolerated, her husband's lover was well known.
Come to think of it, if Prince Eastman hadn't been protecting his lover, Clarice would have been dead for many years.
From this point of view, Prince Hawkeye seems to be a kind and righteous man, or he has deep affection for Clarice, and he does not want him to die in the Pudley Kingdom, so he passed The Sequoia Chamber of Commerce sent her to Shawan Port. Even if the place is not prosperous, but at least it controls the right to speak in a port, and with a strong background, for a woman, it should be considered safe and secure.
But who would have thought that they would run into Dane.
It is estimated that the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce, which sent a strong protest letter at the beginning, was under Eastman's order. As for Sequoia who was silent and ambiguous later, it may have come from Her Majesty the Queen.
It is very likely that Her Majesty does not want to see Clarice continue to live.
Of course, this is just Verina's guess after combining some of the information she has obtained, including some performances of the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce, and seeing Clarice's mentality. This is just a conjecture, without much evidence to support it, but she feels that this conjecture should be inseparable from the facts.
As for whether this guess is correct, in fact, Verina doesn't care too much. The Kingdom of Pudri, which is far to the west of the Southern Cross Sea, would take at least a month's voyage to reach Shawan Port even with a fast boat. No matter how great the reputation of Her Majesty the Queen is, if it radiates to such a distant place, the impact it can have on Shawan Harbor is actually very little. On the contrary, Velina became interested in Clarice herself.
She realized that the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce and the delicate situation in the Kingdom of Pudley seemed to have something to take advantage of.

I underestimated the damage to the fingers. Yesterday, my index finger was swollen into a sausage, and I could hardly do flexion or extension. It hurts when I touched my finger, and I couldn’t type at all...
