Chapter 922 Continue to Break Through

The headquarters of the Crevin Chamber of Commerce is not in the city of Degala, but in the city of Muryek further to the west. Yes, it is the city of Muryek under the jurisdiction of Li Huailin's second wife Sisi, which is the most developed city in the southern part of the empire. A commercial city, the headquarters of the Krivin Chamber of Commerce is also naturally set up here.

In the headquarters of the Krivin Chamber of Commerce, the chairman, Standing Goldbaum, just received a piece of news that surprised him for a long time, that is, the only Duke of the Nasser Empire—the Duke of Aquitaine has now arrived in Dergara He is already waiting for him inside, and seems to be preparing to meet him. This news gave him a headache in an instant. This is definitely the worst news.

Needless to say, Standing here can almost guess the purpose of Li Huailin's trip. As a particularly strong emerging competitor, the relationship chain of the De'an Chamber of Commerce here is naturally also clearly investigated by Standing. The relationship between other ministers is okay, but it is the Duke of Aquitaine, and Standing here is very headache. Krivin Chamber of Commerce is a long-established chamber of commerce. Basically, all the families in the empire can speak, but the only one is Li Huailin, a new dignitary who suddenly jumped out. There is no family at all, and he naturally has nothing to do with it. , but this guy is also the backer of the Dean Chamber of Commerce, which makes Standing really have nothing to do with the Dean Chamber of Commerce.

What Standing now hopes is to rely on his influence here to squeeze out the Dean Chamber of Commerce here by means of commercial competition, but obviously the other party did not give him this opportunity, and now he brought his backer to the door . The most troublesome thing is that even if Standing knows that the other party has bad intentions, he still has to go up to meet him, because the other party is the Duke of Aquitaine, and it is simply unreasonable to meet him.

There is no way, and Standing here hastily teleported from the city of Mulyek to the city of Dergara. Then I came to the branch here. As soon as I entered the door, Standing saw a few familiar people. He naturally knew Polit, the president of the Dean Chamber of Commerce. The two had met many times. , Ekola is considered to be his acquaintance. I have met a lot recently, and the other one is Li Huailin. Although he has never talked to him, he has seen him many times from a distance.

"Standing Goldbaum, the president of the Lower Creven Chamber of Commerce, pays homage to the Duke." Standing here hastily saluted. Don't dare to claim to be aristocratic, this will arouse the resentment of the nobles.

After finishing speaking, I haven't waited for Li Huailin to reply. Standing here yelled at Mohefu, the branch president next to him: "What's the matter, why don't you invite the Duke to the VIP room."

This yell seems to be very polite, but in fact, it is also secretly expressing that this is his own chamber of commerce, showing the identity of the owner a little bit, but Li Huailin completely ignores the other party's careful thinking, and directly smiled and said: "Stan Chairman Ding, right?"

"Yes, my lord duke, may I ask you to come this time. Is there any order for you?" Standing immediately bowed his head and said.

"It is said that you are competing with my chamber of commerce.

I don't like fighting the most. So let's mediate and see if we can deal with this matter directly. "Li Huailin said.

"Mediation?" Standing asked here.

"Yeah, President Standing, you see, when I saw you, I thought we hit it off. Otherwise, you can just join us. This way everyone is a family, and there is no need to compete at all." Now, in this way, I will not let people from the De'an Chamber of Commerce come in in the southern part of the empire, and you will continue to be responsible for all of it, and the result will not be happy for everyone?" Li Huailin said with a smile.

Sure enough, that's the case... Although Standing here has already made preparations. But I didn't expect that Li Huailin here would be so straightforward. He really is the same powerful person as in the rumors. Although the proposal is very good, we have always been taken care of by Earl Kummel... Now it is a bit unreasonable to leave and join the Duke's team..."

"Earl Kummel?" Li Huailin was taken aback for a moment, "Who is it?"

"My lord duke." Pollitt quickly whispered in Li Huailin's ear, "Earl Kummel refers to Heydrich Kummel, the head of the Ministry of Urban Construction, who is also the largest member of the Krivin Chamber of Commerce. backing."

"Chief of the Ministry of Urban Construction?" Li Huailin thought for a while. He estimated that this guy Li Huailin should have met in the palace hall, but he really couldn't remember which minister it was. After thinking about it, he said, "Earl Qiumeier Right, that is to say, if this guy suddenly disappears tomorrow, you agree to join us, right?"

"Suddenly disappear tomorrow?" Not only Standing, but even Paulit next to him was taken aback. After thinking about Li Huailin's meaning for a while, the sweat of everyone present immediately stayed. This threat was too fruitful Bar.

It was also at this time that Standing realized how powerful Li Huailin was. His backer was already a high-ranking official like the head of the Ministry of Urban Construction, and he was also one of the top cadres in the country. If people said to let him disappear, let him disappear. The relaxed and freehand face, as if he didn't take him seriously at all, this also further reflects how much power Li Huailin has here.

Although it sounds a bit like a lie, Standing here doesn't dare to listen to it as a lie. After all, there is a precedent before. The two dukes disappeared directly by Li Huailin. The reason is actually here Li Huailin fell in love with his wife, and then killed the two dukes, and His Royal Highness did not punish him. Thinking about it this way, Standing here thinks it is better not to struggle. Count Kummel really got involved, no matter how Earl Kummel treated him well, explaining the situation to him, it is estimated that he would not be hard steel with the Duke of Aquitaine.

Thinking of this, Standing here quickly said: "Wait, Lord Duke, I have figured it out, I will join, I will join."

"Oh? So easy?" Li Huailin said in surprise, "Have you really thought about it?"

"Yes, Lord Duke, I have decided to join your banner. Really." Standing said immediately.

"Oh, that's fine, welcome." Li Huailin nodded. To be honest, he really thought about killing Count Kummel directly. Unexpectedly, Standing suddenly figured it out. , which saves a lot of time. It can be considered that Earl Kummel here is more lucky, "It's best if President Standing can figure it out. In this case, as agreed before, the southern part of the empire will be handed over to your Kriwen Chamber of Commerce. Polit, you don’t want to develop the De’an Chamber of Commerce here, and hand over all the things here to President Standing and the others, and you can go directly to other places to continue to develop.”

"Yes, Lord Duke." Politt said without hesitation. Although the De'an Chamber of Commerce has lost a lot in this way, after all, it has spent a lot of money to lay the foundation here, and now it is almost all given away. Krivon Chamber of Commerce, but for the sake of His Excellency the Duke, Politt still agreed without saying a word.

"Thank you, Lord Duke." Standing here didn't know whether to cry or laugh. According to the profit calculation, he should have made a profit, but in fact he lost the entire chamber of commerce to the other party. Since Li Huailin's attack here was too sudden, Standing still hasn't figured out whether he is gaining or losing.

"By the way. President Standing, since you are already a member of your own, let me ask you something." Of course, Li Huailin is not mainly here to deal with the problems of the chamber of commerce. .

"My lord, please tell me." Standing said immediately.

"I heard that the Krivin Chamber of Commerce is currently engaged in slave trade..." Li Huailin asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke." Standing here also admitted immediately, there is nothing to hide. After all, basically the larger chambers of commerce are doing this business. After all, they earn more money, and it is not illegal. The empire also recognizes this business.

"Then have you captured any slaves near here recently?" Li Huailin asked immediately.

"Near here?" Standing was taken aback for a moment, and then said immediately. "Of course not, my lord duke, arresting slaves in the empire is illegal, and it is impossible for us to do it. Please rest assured, my lord duke, our Krivin chamber of commerce is also a regular old-fashioned chamber of commerce. All business It's all legal, and there is no business that violates the law."

"Really?" Li Huailin nodded slightly, "But I heard that you guys seem to have done some things you shouldn't have done recently."

"What?" Standing looked a little strange. "It's impossible. I don't know what the Duke has heard. Please tell me and let me defend myself."

"About a month ago, a female knight brought about a dozen civilians from the town of Mariana to the city of Dergara. As a result, all these people disappeared on the way. Later, someone saw you Krivin The carriage of the chamber of commerce has entered the city, and the time is about the same, so why don't you talk about it?" Li Huailin asked.

"There is such a thing?" Standing here was a little taken aback. This sounded really strange. Looking at the branch president Mohefu next to him, Standing immediately said, "Mohefu, what is this? What's the matter? Do you know about it?"

"This... president, this..." Mohefu looked hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't say it.

"What's the matter? Have you really done something you shouldn't have done?" Standing here suddenly said sternly. He really didn't instigate this matter, although the situation of Krivin Chamber of Commerce is not very good now. , but also to face the strong competition from the Dean Chamber of Commerce, but Standing still has the minimum moral integrity as an old businessman family. He will not do such illegal things. Looking at the appearance of Mohefu over here , Standing thought he had done something illegal without telling him, and immediately roared angrily.

"No...it's not the president." Mohef said immediately, "Of course we didn't do those things, but...the thing about the female knight and the commoners that the Duke just said, we really want to see it." Arrived……"

"Huh?" Standing was taken aback for a moment, and then said immediately, "What's going on?"

"It's... Snake King Malev..." Mokhov thought for a while and said.

"Snake King Malev?" Everyone was taken aback, but Ekola and Standing here seemed to have heard the name before, and they sounded a little surprised. Li Huailin and Politt here had never heard of it. It looks like I don't even know who this guy is.

"Yes, at that time I just came back from other places to catch the goods. On the way back, not far from the east of Dergara City, I met the female knight and a dozen civilians that the Duke just mentioned. They were fighting with this People from the Snake King Society nearby will fight..." Mohefu continued.

"Wait, wait..." Li Huailin quickly stopped, "Wait a minute, what is going on with this snake king Malev and this snake king club, please explain to me first."

"Your Excellency." Ikola here said proactively. "The Snake King Association is a very large organization near here. It can be said that it is a relatively underground organization. Basically, it is the kind of organization that does everything, of course, many things that are not visible."

"Simply put...the underworld?" Li Huailin thought for a while and said.

"What is the underworld?" Several people here asked together.

"Uh...it's okay, anyway, I almost understand." Li Huailin waved his hand, then pointed to Mohefu over here, "You continue to talk."

"We originally planned to check the situation, but the people from the Snake King Association came over immediately to warn us not to meddle in our own business. Of course we were still carrying goods at that time. If we were targeted, even our own goods would be lost." I couldn't keep it anymore, so I didn't mind my own business. Of course, I still felt a little strange when I saw that female knight. After all, there are not many female knights, and they usually have backgrounds, but I haven't heard anyone asking about it since then. We never talked about it," Mohoff said.

"That is to say. This female knight was attacked by the underworld organization Snake King Association on the way here, and then all of a sudden disappeared. In this way, it has something to do with the Snake King Association..." Li Huailin said, "This Snake King Association has another What's the background?"

"My lord duke, we don't know much about this for the time being." Standing, who was speaking, seemed to hear the name of the Snake King Association. Standing here also said with a little headache, "This Snake King Association is in the south of our empire. It is a very huge organization. Almost every city has them. Not to mention, their abilities are also extremely powerful. They seem to be able to speak up everywhere, not just our chamber of commerce. Face. The people in the government are also very respectful to them, although basically everyone knows what they are doing, but in fact, no one from the government has ever investigated them."

"Not only that, but their background is also very mysterious." Ekola next to him also said, "They already knew about our De'an Chamber of Commerce when they first came here to develop, and soon they took the initiative to come to the door , They also know that our background is Your Royal Highness, and they still collect money from us, and they don't seem to worry about this issue at all."

"Yeah, to be honest, we've been doing business here for so many years, and we've been dealing with people from the Snake King Club for a long time. So far, we don't know where the other party's backer is... But we can't help but cooperate with them. Because there are too many things involved, if we don’t cooperate with them, it will be too difficult for us to do business here.” Standing here also said.

"Oh? It sounds very powerful." Li Huailin nodded. It is very obvious that this is an underworld organization. According to the current situation, this female knight Lisa is probably killed by the underworld leader named Snake King Malev. I fell in love with it, and then I directly asked someone to arrest her. This is not good news for Li Huailin. After all, now Lisa is the one who holds the secret that she is the leader of the undead tribe, and then he was arrested by the boss of the underworld. Gone, and it has been nearly a month since now, it is not ruled out that Lisa has already told this matter to the snake king Malev.

In this way, things are a bit complicated. If the Snake King knows about his affairs, then based on the number of this guy's younger brothers, it is probably impossible for him to hide it. However, if this guy is a little smarter, he may They will not spread this matter casually, maybe they are planning to use this matter to blackmail themselves, anyway, they are gangsters, this kind of thing must be done.

Of course, if this is the case, it is naturally what Li Huailin wants to see the most. No matter what, Li Huailin always wants to meet this man named Snake King Malev, and then ask him about the specific situation. The current situation is a bit complicated , Li Huailin can only take one step at a time.

"Understood, since this is the case, let's make a breakthrough." Li Huailin stretched his waist and said.

"Huh? I seem to have heard this before." Ekola next to him murmured.

"President Standing, I'll make an appointment to meet this guy called Snake King, and I'm going to see him now," Li Huailin said.

"Really?" Several people here said at the same time.

"Of course it's true." Li Huailin said, "Speed, I don't have time to waste." (To be continued...)
