Chapter 417

"Where's Donnie? Where's this guy?"

"Replying to the master, Master Downey went to have a private meeting with some female companions today." The butler told Giovanni what Downey was doing in a rather obscure way.

Giovanni almost couldn't breathe when he heard that his son was so incompetent and still fooling around outside at this time.

"Butler, get Donnie back for me. I want to see him within an hour."

"Okay." The butler agreed, and then hurriedly left the Duke's residence and headed to the romantic place where Donnie often went.

Half an hour later, when Giovanni saw Downey in front of him who was undressed and still had some hickeys on his face and neck, the first thing Giovanni did was to step forward and give Downey a slap.

When Downey saw this, he naturally did not dare to resist. Instead, he lowered his head and asked submissively: "Father, you came back, but I didn't greet you. It was my dereliction of duty. You did the right thing."

"That's not the problem." Giovanni shook his head. "Donnie, you are my son and my only son. Although I have informed you that I will be back today, look at what you are doing?!"

"I don't ask you to be as good as Orson, but can't you even be as honest and responsible as Li Te and run the house steadily?!" Giovanni's tone was full of hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel.

"With you like this, how can I trust you to leave the family affairs to you in the future!?" Giovanni said, and continued to say angrily: "If it doesn't work, I will follow Giovanni's example. Just adopt a capable child and give him power.”

"I'm sorry, Father, it's my fault, don't be angry!" Donnie was shocked when he heard Giovanni say this, and he quickly lowered his head and apologized.

He could hear that his father was really angry, otherwise he would never have said such a thing because he valued blood relations.

"I hope you won't disappoint me again in the future." Giovanni said this, his anger subsided a little, and then asked: "There is nothing important in the duchy these days, right?"

"As far as my father is concerned, everything in the duchy is going according to plan and there are no accidents."

"That's okay." Giovanni nodded with satisfaction. "However, if there is no accident, it is not the reason for you to be so indulgent. When you come back this time, I will punish you not to go to that kind of place for a month. During this month, you will stay with me and learn how to rule such a large territory. "

"Okay." Donnie heard that he would not be able to have fun for a month. Although he was very unhappy in his heart, he could only agree with his father's words.

…

On the other side, Saint Laurent City, the headquarters of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce.

"Lawrence, is this the result you gave me?" Louis, the president of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, was sitting in the office, looking at his second son Lawrence, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"I'm sorry, Father." Lawrence only had three words left to say at this moment. He lowered his head and could only pray that the blood relationship between father and son would save him from being punished.

"I trained you as an heir, but look at you..." Louis said and sighed. "Although I can understand it. After all, the Duke of Aragon ended up personally, and you couldn't have expected this kind of thing. But after all, this situation occurred during your term of office. Even if I want to protect you, I can't."

"Father, are you right?" Lawrence was stunned for a moment when he heard Louis' words, and then he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Lawrence, from now on, the position of president of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce will be given to your brother. He can at least manage the chamber of commerce steadily and not cause problems to the chamber of commerce." As Louis finished these words, someone spoke from across the room. In the room, Lawrence's eldest brother Mark came out.

"Lawrence, please stop being the president of the Aragon branch of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce. If such a big thing happens, you will no longer have credibility in the Chamber of Commerce." Louis said this and pointed at Mark.

"From today on, you will be your brother Mark's consultant. At least it will be a leisurely job. You two brothers must work together and work together to make the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce stronger."

Then, Mark walked up to Lawrence, and he forced a not-so-good smile on his face.

"Second brother, it's okay. Come to eldest brother, you don't need to do anything.

The work is relaxing and the treatment is good. "With that said, he put his hand on Lawrence's shoulder.

"Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, leave it to me, eldest brother."

Lawrence looked at Mark's proud look. Although he wanted to punch him at this moment, he could only suppress the aggrievedness and dissatisfaction in his heart, and just accepted his fate.

Chapter 36: Inviting Lena

Orson and Lucius returned home, and the two chatted some more. After returning home, they each got busy with their own affairs.

It wasn't until noon that Lite took Lena home.

As soon as Lena got home, she went straight to Orson's room.

"Brother! Brother Lite and I went to Antica City today and saw a lot of interesting things!" With that said, Lena came to Orson.

At this moment, Orson was sitting at the desk thinking about something. When he saw Lena walking in, he turned around and smiled back.

"Really? Wouldn't that be great?"

At this time, Li Teuk also walked in from the door.

"Yeah!" Lena nodded.

"I went to a human school, and I think it's pretty good there..."

"Don't worry, Lena, you will also have a school like this in the future." Orson said this and subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch Lena's head like he did to Li Te, but he thought of something and retracted his hand.

"Also, humans have a lot of delicious food here. There are many things I have never seen before, but everyone is very kind to me and is willing to tell me what those things are."

Hearing this, Orson was surprised.

Originally, he thought that humans would be somewhat prejudiced against half-orcs like Lena, but then he thought that Lena would probably go out wearing a cloak and hood. Coupled with her naturally familiar character, it was hard not to like her. .

"That's because it's Lena." Orson smiled.

"Also, I met sister Chelinina! Big brother, you mentioned her name to me in the desert before. She is really beautiful and rich."

"And that sister Olivia, big brother, when will you take me to meet her?"

"Uh..." At this time, Orson clearly noticed that Li Te's face turned dark behind Lena.

It seemed like he was complaining about why he only told Lena about Olivia and Chelinina and not about her, Lite.

But after hearing Lena's words, Orson had an idea.

"By the way, Lena, do you want to go to school?"

"go to school?"

"Well, Lena, you are of school age now. Do you want to be classmates with me and Li Te? The Imperial College is in Saint Laurent City, which is the largest city in mankind. By the way, you can meet Olivia in the Imperial College. Yeah.”

Although it is not yet the admission season for Imperial College, considering Lena's identity and potential, it is not impossible for Imperial College to open a "back door" specifically for her.

Even leaving aside Lena's status as being infinitely close to a demigod, at this age, she has a strength comparable to that of the eighth level, which makes the Imperial Academy very jealous of this student.

"Hey, the biggest city?!"

"Well, Lena, didn't you say you want to see more places? If you study at Imperial College, you can visit a lot of places every year."

"Okay." Lena said and nodded. "But, I am a half-orc after all, and the Imperial Academy is a school for humans..."

"Lena, where do you think the biggest difference between orcs and humans is?"

"It should be, it should be the appearance, right? Orcs have ears and tails, humans don't..."

"Lena, do you know the elf?"

"Elf? I think I heard about it from Grandpa Alati..."

"Well, the so-called elves are also different in appearance from humans. Elves have pointed ears, which are different from human ears. However, elves are not discriminated against by humans. On the contrary, many humans respect elves."

"Really?" Lena cheered up after hearing Orson say this.

"But, if that's the case, why do you ask me, Orson, to hide my tail and ears when I go out..." Lena immediately discovered another problem.

"Because of the racial name." Orson pointed to his head.

"In the human concept, orcs are enemies. Therefore, after most humans hear the term orcs, they will also think that orcs are the same or similar to orcs."

"Actually, half-orcs are closer to humans than beasts, aren't they?" Orson said, pointing at Lite and himself,

Pointed at Lena again.

"Those racial characteristics aside, Lena, do you think your facial features and body structure are very different from humans?"

Lena shook her head.

"That's it. The reason I asked you to do this, Lena, is because most people don't know that Orcs are friendly beings, so they do this to protect you. But after the Orc city was established, the Orcs Orcs are no longer a mysterious species, humans can get along well with half-orcs.”

Letting Lena enter the Imperial Academy was not only a consideration to help the Imperial Academy recruit talents, but also to improve the status of the orcs in the empire.

After all, in the final analysis, this world still respects strength. The reason why the relationship between humans and elves is so harmonious is not only because there are no conflicts of interests, but also because of the strength of the elves.

Although the number of elves is not large, they are individually powerful.

Half-orcs do not have this condition, so they need a strong person to be their protector. There is no doubt that this strong person can only be Lena, who is also a half-orc.

But for now, Orson doesn't want Lena to realize that she has this responsibility.

It would be more beneficial for Lena to gradually realize her responsibilities as she grows up than to directly tell her the slightly cruel reality.

The Dukedom of Antica can still protect the orcs for a while, and after Lena has fully grown up, it will not be too late to let her become the leader of the orcs.

"Besides, there is another reason." Orson continued: "School is about to start. After the school starts, Lite and I will return to Imperial College. If Lena, you still want to stay with me, you can We can only go to Imperial College together.”

"Well..." Lena heard Orson say this, struggled for a long time, and finally nodded.

"Then, Orson, are there any conditions required to enter that Imperial Academy?"

…

After finalizing the matter of entering the Imperial Academy with Lena, Orson and Leeteuk were the only two people left in the room.

"Speaking of which, Orson, while you are away from the duchy, I have prepared a surprise for you."

As Litt said this, he put his hands behind his back as if to be mysterious, and only said half of his words, as if he was deliberately whetting Orson's appetite.

"You girl, you still prepare surprises for people?" Orson said this, smiled helplessly, and then asked: "Tell me, what is it?"

"Hehe..." Litt chuckled twice, and then came to Orson's side, stood on tiptoe and spoke a few words in his ear.

Orson was stunned for a moment when he heard Litt's words.

Then he turned his head and looked at Litt in disbelief.

"Is what you said true?"

"Yeah." Litt nodded. "I found this information in my mother...Mary's letter. I traced it later and didn't expect to find this result."

"Good." Orson was very happy when he heard the news.

"With this information, we have the means to restrain the other party."

Chapter 37: Am I wrong?

A few days passed like this, and soon it was time to return to school.

Orson still ran to Chelinina.

"It's really rare that Master Orson actually came to my humble home. Have you finally figured it out and want to apply for my consultant?" Chelinina sat in the office, looking at Orson and smiled.

"That's not the case. Besides, Chelinina, you are getting better at joking with me." Orson said this and smiled.

"It feels much better than when you were meticulous before and only talked about work."

"..." Chelinina blushed when she heard Orson say this.

Then she turned her head away.

"It's all because of you." She whispered.

"Well, I came here this time to ask about the recent development of the Lison Chamber of Commerce."

"Oh, you are talking about this." Chelinina said this with a charming smile. "Then I have to thank Orson. If it weren't for your relationship, my textile business in the Duke of Aragon might be stuck."

"You have helped me so much, I really don't know how to repay you~"

As she said this, Chelinina's eyes wandered wantonly on Orson.

"Okay, okay, I admit defeat. I admit that I can't resist your charm. Let's talk business." Orson said this and quickly clasped his hands together to admit defeat.

Seeing Orson's frustrated look, Chelinina also relaxed in her heart.

"Well, to put it simply, the Aragon branch of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce has been broken. My useless second brother has resigned now. He should be the consultant of the eldest brother now."

"Pfft, that's really a gathering of the dragon and the phoenix." Orson couldn't help but say.

"But in this case, after the president of the Aragon branch is replaced, it will still not be able to beat the Lison Chamber of Commerce, right?"

"Yeah." Chelinina nodded. "Now the strength of the Lison Chamber of Commerce in Antica and Aragon has surpassed the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, but it is obviously not something that can be accomplished in a few months to catch up with this behemoth."

"That's true." Orson heard the words and nodded.

Business war is a protracted war. To be honest, it is amazing that the Lison Chamber of Commerce can develop in a short period of time.

Even the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce has accumulated for three generations before finally becoming the first chamber of commerce in the empire in the generation of Chelinina's grandfather.

"Chelinina, what do you think is the ultimate of a businessman?"
