Chapter 247 Absolute Strength Brings Absolute Submission
At this time, O’Brien couldn’t help but look at the old president of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce differently. He had already fought his way to the headquarters of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce, and broke into the meeting room both outside and inside, but the president was still able to greet him with a smile. He was really a man of deep scheming.
But it was good that way. As the old man became more shrewd, he would naturally know the current situation better, and his next plan would be easier to implement. It didn’t take much time for these thoughts to go through O’Brien’s mind, and he quickly responded to President Stanley.
“This is President Stanley, who controls the ground and underground forces in this earl’s territory, right? It seems that everyone here is not very welcome to this earl’s arrival?” Looking at the expressions of others except President Stanley, O’Brien said leisurely.
Those vice presidents, branch presidents, and others who were obviously not as cunning as President Stanley also reacted one after another when they heard this. They put on stiff smiles and looked at O’Brien who slowly entered the meeting room. But from their reluctant looks, we can tell that they are cursing O'Brien in their hearts.
As the ruling class that controls such a large territory of Grave, this is the first time they have been treated like this. The previous lords were all at their mercy, but they didn't expect that Earl O'Brien would go directly to the headquarters to show them off as soon as he arrived.
"Okay, there's no need to put on that smile that's uglier than crying. This earl is not the kind of person who likes to do superficial work." As he spoke, O'Brien had already walked into the conference room, pulled out the chair at the bottom of the conference table, and sat on it.
O'Brien's words were a bit of a slap in the face. Even President Stanley restrained his hypocritical smile after hearing O'Brien's words, and his tone became cold. "Humph! Lord Earl, even if you are a local lord, you have to have an explanation for trespassing into the mansion of the lord, right?"
Obviously, although President Stanley was ready to compromise with O'Brien, the face of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce still had to be maintained. With O'Brien's physical move of breaking into the door, perhaps he could gain a little advantage in the negotiation and reduce some losses. President Stanley had such thoughts in his mind.
However, O'Brien had no intention of negotiating. "Explanation? Haha, this is my explanation!" O'Brien stood up suddenly. His figure was not majestic, but everyone present suddenly felt a sense of oppression, and as time went by, this sense of oppression became more and more obvious and more substantial.
"Bang!" Finally, a young man who looked weak could not bear the already obvious sense of oppression and collapsed to the ground. Next, like a chain reaction, everyone present collapsed to the ground one by one according to their strength.
Soon, except for O'Brien, only President Stanley could stand firmly on the ground. However, a blazing flame of fighting spirit had already ignited on his body, and it was obvious that he was in a state of full strength.
"Haha, I didn't expect that President Stanley is still strong and healthy. He is actually a Yunxiao-level warrior? However, in front of the lord, disobedient subjects still have to crawl down." With O'Brien's cold words, the oppressive feeling in the air suddenly increased by several levels.
And President Stanley finally couldn't bear this oppression that was far beyond his strength, and suddenly collapsed to the ground. Looking at the people who all fell to the ground in front of him, O'Brien sneered, retracted his outward mental power, and sat back in his chair.
Although O'Brien retracted his mental power, the people who collapsed to the ground could not recover immediately. After O'Brien calmly did it for a few minutes, President Stanley, who was the strongest, slowly stood up with the help of the table.
President Stanley, who stood up, looked at O'Brien with undisguised fear and awe in his eyes. After a long time, when everyone who had fallen to the ground recovered one by one, President Stanley's voice mixed with a hint of bitterness sounded: "Respected Master Mage, the Stanley Chamber of Commerce is willing to obey all your orders."
In Greif Territory, President Stanley, who can be called the uncrowned king and ruled most of the underground forces in Greif Territory, bowed his head, which he had not bowed to for more than 20 years. And his address to O'Brien also changed from the previous Earl to "Respected Master Mage" - obviously in his mind, the identity of the Earl was not as prominent as O'Brien's identity as he guessed.
Expressing his submission, President Stanley, who was waiting for O'Brien's reply, was not as calm as he seemed. Being able to suppress his determined Yunxiao-level warrior with only his outward momentum or mental power, the strength of this Earl O'Brien may have reached the height of the legendary level.
You know, even the marquis in the imperial capital who has a cooperative relationship with the Stanley Chamber of Commerce does not have a legendary strongman under his command! Although in war, legendary and higher-level warriors do not seem to be as powerful as their names suggest, who would not be afraid of a person who can take their life under the protection of thousands of troops?
From the moment he was pinned to the ground by O'Brien's mental power, President Stanley understood that he could only save himself and the entire Chamber of Commerce by completely submitting to the new Lord. Moreover, President Stanley also gave up the idea of playing tricks.
With legendary strength and the Saint Childe family behind him, can a small Stanley Chamber of Commerce contend with this? Moreover, the background of this lord is probably not that simple. Recalling the content of the intelligence, President Stanley had the same idea as Duke Childe.
The other senior executives of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce who stood up also expressed their submission in awe like President Stanley. This is necessary, because although President Stanley is nominally the president of the Stanley Chamber of Commerce and the leader of the underground forces in Greif Territory, these vice presidents and branch presidents also control large and small underground forces in their hands.
Amidst the lowered heads, O'Brien stood up, laughed low, and walked out. The further he walked out, the louder his laughter became, and in the end, it had turned into an unbridled laughter. The people behind him raised their heads and looked at O'Brien, who walked out with his back to them, with complicated eyes.
In the setting sun, O'Brien in a black robe looked like a god in everyone's eyes, and his wild laughter made him look like a devil.
