Chapter 123 New Visitor

When he returned to No. 160 Berklund Street from St. Samuel's Church, Klein saw the white-gloved butler Walter coming up to him.

"Sir, someone sent a business card just now, saying that his employer would like to visit you between 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock." Walter said calmly.

Klein thought about which visitor it might be, but couldn't find a clue, so he nodded slightly and said:

"Who is his employer?"

Walter glanced left and right, saw that the servants and maids were far away, and then answered:

"Lord Syndras."

Baron Syndras... the multi-millionaire who relied on the Conservative Party and Duke Negan to get his title, one of the most famous bankers and business owners in the kingdom? I helped Madam Mary buy the shares of Coim Company before, and the competitors are him and his friends... He visited me personally for this matter? That's a deal of around 13,000 pounds, it's not necessary for him at all... Klein's thoughts turned as he walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

Walter was half a step behind, followed by and said:

"Sir, if you don't want to see Baron Syndras, I will tell him later that you were delayed listening to the bishop's sermon in St. Samuel's Church, and you may not be able to return until very late."

The butler's subtext is that Baron Syndras is a follower of the "Lord of Storms", and it is impossible to go directly to St. Samuel's Church to find him.

Klein thought for a while, smiled, and said gently:

"This is an extremely influential nobleman in the banking industry, and we will definitely meet again in the future, so I have to meet him.

"Hmm... Arrange it later in the small living room on the second floor where the sun is the most abundant."

——As far as Klein knows, Baron Syndras is the third largest shareholder of Backlund Bank and the largest shareholder of South Wales Bank. He is definitely the most influential in the banking industry of the Kingdom of Loen. one of several people.

"Yes, sir." Walter said no more.

At 4:10 p.m., Klein met the visitor who often appeared in newspapers in the pre-set small living room.

The only thing that was different from his imagination was that after three o'clock, the clouds in Backlund thickened, the sky became overcast, and there was a light rain, and there was no sunshine that made people feel cheerful and warm.

Baron Syndras was exactly the same as the photos published in the newspapers. His black hair mixed with silver threads was neatly combed back, revealing a broad forehead and a slightly higher hairline.

His face is round, but lacks enough flesh to support it, with rather high cheekbones and distinct lines of wrinkles everywhere.

Unlike most Loenites of his age, Baron Syndras didn't have a beard, his cheeks were clean-shaven, and his blue eyes were so light that they were almost colorless.

Beside him are a valet and a bodyguard, both of which are not very attractive in appearance. The former is characterized by a little thinning hair, while the latter is shaved short, but has a hair extending from the ear to the A bushy beard on the jaw.

"Good afternoon, honorable baron, it's an honor to have you as a guest." Klein saluted with his hands on his chest.

Normally, when facing a visitor, the host leans forward, stretches out his right palm, and shakes hands, but at this moment, he is in front of a nobleman, so he must be more polite.

Baron Syndras nodded slightly, smiled and said:

"No, you don't need to be polite, I should have come to visit you a long time ago, a gentleman who has experienced many things and knows the Southern Continent very well."

After exchanging greetings, the two sat down respectively, with personal servants and bodyguards standing beside them.

Klein was about to speak when Baron Syndras said in a calm and friendly manner:

"Dantes, I admire people like you. Not everyone can grab wealth from the chaotic Southern Continent. You must have enough courage.

The courage to face difficulties, and amazing judgment.

"When I was on the verge of bankruptcy, I also wanted to go to the Southern Continent and start again. Unfortunately, I am not a brave person."

Although Baron Syndras became a nobleman later, he was not born as a commoner in the true sense. His great-grandfather, his grandfather, benefited from the development of the colony, and made a lot of money from maritime trade. A successful businessman, his father invested in industry and accumulated enough fame and a lot of factories.

In his generation, relying on his rich family property, he rushed into the booming banking industry and became one of the earliest multi-millionaires in Loen.

During this process, Baron Syndras suffered three failures, but they all came out one by one. Among them, the most dangerous time was that the South Wales Bank he founded had a serious reputation crisis, was run on, and really almost went bankrupt. .

Always talking about my experience in the Southern Continent... Is this trying to tell me that he has already found out that there is a problem with my identity, so he can use this as a warning? Heh, he probably didn't expect that the experiences he repeatedly mentioned in the Southern Continent were all fake... Klein sneered inwardly, and responded normally on the surface:

"That's not bravery, it's recklessness.

"Most people who go to the Southern Continent do have an adventurous spirit, but that's the only one."

Before Baron Syndras could speak, he turned to smile and said:

"I almost hired Mr. Ryback as a housekeeper. He said you were a good employer."

After listening quietly, Baron Syndras sighed and said:

“This is something that I regret.

"I so sincerely hope that Ribak can continue to be my butler, but he can't overcome the contradiction in his position."

Speaking of which, Baron Syndras looked at the elegant and handsome middle-aged gentleman Dawn Dantès, picked up the black tea brought by the servant, took a sip and said:

"I also sincerely hope that we can become friends, and that you can transfer the 3% shares of Coim to me.

"I'll make an offer you can't refuse."

Here we come... But Mrs. Mary and I are bound by a contract... Klein was silent for two seconds, sighed and laughed:

"I take credibility very seriously."

Hearing such an answer, Baron Syndras didn't show any anger on the surface, and smiled half surprised and half curiously:

"Aren't you going to listen to my conditions?"

Klein in the image of Dwayne Dantès deliberately smiled wryly and spread his hands and said:

"I'm afraid I can't say no."

"Haha." Baron Syndras laughed suddenly, stood up slowly and said, "You are as funny as the rumours, but at the same time you have a firm will not mentioned in the rumours."

He glanced at his bodyguard and personal servant, and said to Dwayne Dantès with a smile:

"Being a partner with you is definitely better than being a competitor. Well, it's time for me to leave. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with."

Is this a sincere compliment, or a veiled threat? Klein is not an "audience" and couldn't decipher such a subtle meaning, so he could only respond brazenly:

"I also have similar feelings, and I look forward to having the opportunity to cooperate with you, Baron, in other fields."

Baron Syndras, who was dressed in a formal attire and a bow tie, nodded with a smile, without further words, and was sent out of the main entrance by Dwayne Dantès with the butler and the valet.

Watching the ornately decorated carriage gradually go away, the butler Walter suddenly said:

"Sir, do you need to hire some bodyguards temporarily?"

ah? Klein almost didn't realize what his housekeeper meant.

Seeing that the employer's expression did not change, Walter added:

"Sometimes, competition in the commercial space can also bring about personal safety issues."

Mr. Butler also heard the hidden threat of Baron Syndras? Klein curled his lips slightly and said:

"I'm not worried about this, because this is Backlund."

Because I have already signed up with the Church of Evernight, and because I am preparing to cooperate with the military... So, I am not worried that I will be retaliated by the Transcendent Domain, and I am not worried that things will develop like Ambassador Intis's time, and Baron Syndras is also a successful person with status and status, so it is impossible to be so reckless... Klein thought silently in his heart.

When Walter tried to say something more, he chuckled again and said:

"However, caution is always a good habit.

"Well... You can invite two bodyguards, let them provide protection secretly, and try not to be discovered by the servants at home."

"Okay, sir." Walter responded immediately.

Klein thought for a while, and then said to him:

"Go to Macht's house and invite him, his wife, and daughter to Intis Serenzo's restaurant for dinner tomorrow. If they are not available, they can be postponed."

He intends to tell Congressman Macht that he is ready to accept the test of the military and complete a small-scale arms deal.

Originally, the most convenient way was for him to directly visit Mr. Macht’s house and mention something casually, but considering that there may be a demigod of the “thief” path beside Hazel, it is possible to discover it under close contact. Due to the gray mist on his body, Klein changed his mind and set the location at the restaurant outside.

In that case, according to Klein's judgment, the one who failed to "parasitize" Hazel would not be able to act together.

…………

Xio hid in the shadow of the trees, watching a brown carriage slowly passing by and turning to a certain street in Queens.

On that carriage, there was an obvious coat of arms, the main body was a flower and two rings, which belonged to the head of the palace guard of the Kingdom of Loen, Viscount Stratford.

Seeing that nothing was found, Xio left the hiding place in frustration, took a public carriage nearby, returned all the way to the Backlund Bridge area, and walked into the East District.

Arriving at the tavern on Dharavi Street, Xio arrived at the bar smoothly under the avoidance of several drunks, and directly asked the bartender who was wiping the cup:

"Any new orders?"

The bartender suddenly laughed:

"Yes, the butler Walter who offered a reward of 200 pounds to several scammers has given a new commission. It's very simple. He secretly protects his employer for a few days, and the reward is interviewed. It must be rich.

"He was very satisfied with your efficiency in completing the task last time, and appointed us to ask you first.

"How about it, are you interested?"

Hugh was very impressed with the housekeeper and his employer, because they spent a full 200 pounds to find the liar who only cheated 1,000 pounds of fabric.

It was very generous, and the payment was very straightforward... Hugh nodded after thinking about it slightly:

"OK."
