In the spacious hall, the previous items have been removed at this moment. There are two huge tables in the middle, and rows of wooden chairs on both sides.
The tables on both sides were seated on two sides of the five chambers of commerce. On one side were the houses of Tisifone, Nissos, and Anemii, and on the other were the houses of Karites and Helis.
"The Hellis family does not agree with the conditions you put forward." Meru said after reading the terms in her hand.
The three companies jointly demanded that the Helis family and Karites completely withdraw from Hopelander and give up nearly half of the property under their own name.
Negotiations have stalled from the start.
No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel that the terms proposed by Tisifone, Nissos, Anemii, and the three are completely insincere.
Mei Lu's reaction didn't seem to surprise the three opposing families, which was what they expected.
"Do you disagree, Miss Maylu, or does the Helles family disagree?" Wick asked.
"Does that make any difference?" Meru frowned.
"Sorry, what I want to say is that the Hellis family agreed to this matter." Noyce said, tapping his thick fingers on the table.
"Why..." Before Mei Lu could finish speaking, she suddenly saw a young man walking out surrounded by everyone, it was her younger brother Bell.
The young man seemed a little nervous, but the elder beside him said.
"Mei Lu, as a girl, you are not suitable to lead the Helis family." This is the former Vito, Mei Lu's uncle.
There are many people around him who are elders of the Hellis family, those who were forced to hand over their power and property before, and most of them are Mei Lu's uncles.
Mei Lu looked at the group of people, unmoved, but aimed at her younger brother Bell.
"Bell, why are you here today, shouldn't you stay at home?"
Bell seemed a little afraid to look at his sister, and said a little cautiously.
"It was Uncle Vito who asked me to come... Uncles think that as a boy, I have to be stronger so that... I can protect my sister."
"Since my sister became the head of the house, I've been very tired every day, slept very late, and often secretly shed tears. I know all this."
His tone became smoother as he spoke.
"I hope my sister can rest and live well without being so tired and anxious every day."
"So, what do you think?" Mei Lu looked at her younger brother, so familiar yet so unfamiliar.
"I want to be a man, instead of hiding behind my sister all the time, I want to be the head of the family, and I want to make a career by myself." Speaking of this, his eyes showed envy.
"That's it." Mei Lu lowered her head.
"Does father know?"
"Well, my father agreed too." Bell nodded happily.
There was a brief silence in the hall.
Noyce continued to speak after a long time.
"Miss Meilu doesn't have to worry. We will not hold you accountable. You can still live freely overseas in the future."
"Is this your kindness?"
Mei Lu raised her head, her eyes were a little red.
Noyce looked at the girl in front of him and sighed slightly.
"I also watched you grow up. Feng Nai and you have been friends for many years. You don't have to worry about your future self."
"So, no one has asked my opinion, so I agree?"
Mei Lu turned to look at Gerd beside her. This cousin seemed a little guilty and didn't dare to face Mei Lu's gaze. He really thought that being good to Mei Lu would keep her away from this dangerous whirlpool. Get secure happiness.
Gerd still remembered the little sister who was holding this little sister when her aunt came to their house when she was a child. She had a beautiful smile and held a red fruit in her hand and handed it to him.
Then the aunt said, "This is brother Gerd. Come on, Meilu, it's called brother."
The little girl just learned to speak sweetly and called out "Brother Gerde~", and since then he has fallen in love with this well-behaved sister.
Several years later, he accompanied his parents to the main house as a guest. There were many guests at that time, and there were also many children. Mei Lu was wearing a skirt and walked down the stairs, and when she saw herself, she called out, "Brother Gerde."
It turned out that she still remembered herself, and a wonderful emotion rose in her heart, as if she was a weed on the hillside that no one cared about, and was seen for the first time among thousands of people.
Gerd was very naughty when he was a child. His parents scolded him, his elders misunderstood him, and his peers rejected him.
But Mei Lu's call, like a small stone, fell into her heart, and ripples of water slowly spread throughout her body.
It turns out that some people remember me.
Gerd replied softly. "I'm sorry, but I sincerely hope that you will find peace and happiness in the future."
"But, that's just what you think of as happiness."
Mei Lu seemed to want to say something, but she still couldn't speak, her left hand tightly grasped the skirt under her body, and finally her eyelashes dropped in despair.
Aidley on the opposite side saw Meru give in, smiled and continued to speak.
"I don't think there is any need to ask about the Karites family, because Miss Lacey who is currently sitting in front of her is not Angus' daughter."
As he spoke, bursts of exclamations rang out from the seats next to him, and everyone turned their attention to the calm and self-promised girl.
"Angus' daughter, Elaine, has passed away, and you, Miss Lacey, are nothing but a fake." Then more explosive information spread in the hall.
"What, that Lacey actually faked it."
"I mean, how could Angus' daughter be so beautiful."
"Haha, I would like to know what happened to her."
Adeley also sighed a little in his heart. If he hadn't learned from Daniel, he would have never imagined that Ceres and Chelsea would help a stranger with peace of mind, and declared that Lacey was Angus' heir.
The people around pointed and pointed, and even the guards behind him were a little shaken.
As the voice fell, there was a burst of discussions, ridicule, and sarcasm all around. Everyone had a dark mentality. Watching that tall figure fall, it seems that they can get a special pleasure, even if this matter has nothing to do with them. .
At this time, a messenger held up the document, stepped in from outside the hall, and announced loudly:
"Speak to all Hopelander Chambers of Commerce and Industry Branches. The headquarters of the Verga Business Alliance Industry Guild has issued an official document. The Tisifone family will take full control of Hopelander and become the regional speaker and the plenipotentiary representative of the industry guild, and the card will be withdrawn. The Rites family's seat in the industry guild is no longer one of the twenty-six seats."
"In view of the death of the former Chamber of Commerce president Angus and his descendants, Karites will be taken over by the trade guild."
As the voice fell, there was an uproar in the hall.
"This decision of the league goes against the agreement once made." Chelsea's cold voice came from behind Lorraine Hill.
"Does this mean that the guild headquarters is no longer the noble union that pursued justice and trustworthiness?"
She continued to speak, which also sparked some discussions. This decision was indeed abnormal.
"The order of the guild headquarters cannot be disobeyed." Wick spoke again.
"But we Karites will not give in. In our hearts, Miss Lacey is still the most orthodox heir to the Chamber of Commerce."
"And you are the murderers who killed Angus." Following Chelsea's words, several guards of Karites drew their swords and stood in front of Roland Hill to protect him.
"That seems to be impossible to negotiate."
As Wick's voice fell, a group of black armored men poured into the hall from the side door. They held silver-white muskets in their hands, accompanied by armor and footsteps, lined up neatly, standing behind Adley and others, holding Flattened the gun and aimed the muzzles at Roland Hill and the others.
"You..." Mrs. Filia stood up, but Master Helang, who was sitting beside her, took the lead and stopped in front of her.

"Mrs. Filia, please don't be angry. Emenas has a rule that teachers and ungraduated students are not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of other organizations and countries."
Looking at the gray-bearded old man, several balls of light gradually floated around Mrs. Filia, and the brilliance was flowing, and it was uncertain.
"It seems that this old bone of mine will also move." He Lang was not surprised, he took the slender long sword handed over by the person beside him, and then pulled a sword flower.
"The last time I competed with you was twenty years ago. I was still very young then." The old man gradually exuded a mountain-like aura. All slightly distorted.
At this moment of tense confrontation, the others finally reacted, and panicked shouts rang out in the hall, and then rushed out frantically.
The armed forces of the two confronting chambers of commerce outside the mansion also changed abruptly. The Helis family suddenly retreated, leaving the Karites family alone to face off against the other three. When they realized that the guards of Karites were not right, they began to shrink urgently.
And the bells all over the city rang again, the other three teams attacked again, the Helis family was silent, and the Tisifone family, Nissos, and Anemii family once again joined forces to advance towards Karites. .
Seven or eight blue steel golems stood up in the city and launched a fiery column of fire, igniting the Karites fleet that was preparing to fire, and jars of kerosene were thrown from Nissos' house and fell on the sea, setting the night in the harbor. Burned into a sea of fire.
Shouting and fighting sounded again throughout the city.
"Fire!"
Some of the warships farther from the harbor smashed their shells at Nissos' house, causing a loud noise. Some oil tanks that had not had time to launch burst on the spot, and the entire chamber of commerce was immersed in a sea of fire.
But this time, the coalition forces of the three families did not flinch, and still marched towards Karites, with long ladders being erected one by one.
Without the assistance of the Helis family, most of the fleet was also caught in a sea of flames, and the Karites Chamber of Commerce seemed to be in jeopardy.
boom-
In the negotiating mansion, the entire roof was lifted, and countless bricks and tiles fell from the sky like a torrential rain, attracting countless people to dodge everywhere.
In the spacious hall, the violent airflow directly penetrated all obstacles, whether it was windows, beams, tables and chairs, as if swept up by a giant dragon, and dissipated directly into the sea and sky.
There was no light in the dark hall, and the cold silver moonlight swayed down from the sky, shining into this messy and ruined hall.
The people in the hall were staggered, most of them were crushed by debris, and the previous musketeers were scattered everywhere, and some even disappeared.
Noyce climbed up from under the overwhelming stone pillar with difficulty and looked at the girl in the center of the hall.
The long silver hair blown by the sea breeze gleamed and danced continuously in the moonlight. The dress on his body was completely intact, and the air currents surrounded his body. There seemed to be stars twinkling in his pupils, peerless and independent.
How could it be, he muttered to himself, his eyes in disbelief.
On the entire strait outside Hopeland, a violent storm began to take shape, and countless tides were swept up, rising into the sky, like the Milky Way pouring down in the sky, directly extinguishing the fire in the harbor.
"Is this the result you want." She finally responded to these intrigue enemies.
