Being stared at with such a sharp gaze, Renard only felt an itch in his throat, and he smiled dryly, "I just happened to pass by here." ”

He didn't even believe such a clumsy statement, let alone fool Grace Duncan, who was known as the Fox of the Wilderness, but the other party was a top student who graduated from the Arthurian Kingdom Military Academy with perfect scores.

Grace stared at him for a long time, took a deep breath, glanced in the direction where Brad was, and asked, "I have a grudge against you?"

Renard immediately shook his head and vigorously denied: "How is it possible, we are brothers who grew up wearing a pair of pants. ”

Grace was silent, then half-squinted, and asked again, "Do you want to be involved in the strife of the City of Plenty?"

Renard didn't speak, but his meaning was already clear.

Grace didn't know what to say, he was just guessing, but now he got an affirmative answer, and he asked curiously, "Why? for personal gain or Fort Saint-Brieu?"

Renard opened his mouth, then his mind spun rapidly, and then said with a serious face: "Naturally, it is for Fort St. Brieux." ”

Grace took the cigar in his hand and took two hard puffs, his tone couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry: "I have been doing this business for my boss for more than three years, and I have never made a mistake, but I didn't expect to almost be planted in your hands." ”

He spat out a smoke ring and rejoiced: "Fortunately, that dead fat pig is not stupid and didn't make a big fuss." ”

Grace didn't go on, even if he was a feudal official, if he found out about it, he would probably have to shed his skin if he didn't die.

Renard laughed wryly twice, and untied the money bag on his waist: "A small gift, just to shock my cousin, and please keep up with the good words, just like I am an ignorant child." ”

Although his face was extremely calm, his heart was bleeding, and this was all his belongings.

However, Grace didn't seem to know, or pretended not to know, took the money bag and turned it upside down, and couldn't help but be stunned: "You're quite rich!"

Renard pouted and didn't say anything.

Grace sipped a cigar: "I've heard about it, that Senior, I've long seen him unpleasantly, and every day I want to take copper out of the hands of our big-headed soldiers." ”

The Honeysuckle Chamber of Commerce is a royal chamber of commerce, and is also responsible for providing supplies to the major military regions, and Senior, as the president of the Southern Branch, has naturally dealt with the Southern Legion many times, and the relationship between the two sides is extremely delicate.

Grace spat out a smoke ring, handed the cigarette butt back to Renard, and said meaningfully: "I know you are ruthless, in fact, it is the best choice for the family territory to be handed over to people like you, after all, this world is not suitable for good people to live." ”

He took a deep breath, "I'm glad you have earned Miss Heidi's trust, and now it's time for our bloodline to rise." ”

Immediately afterwards, Grace's words changed abruptly: "But don't play with fire and burn yourself, look at the money, forget it this time, don't have a next time, the military is His Majesty's eagle dog, and it is not easy to get involved in the dirty things of the nobles, which will cause panic among many people." ”

With that, he patted the dirt off his body and got up to leave.

Looking at Grace's distant figure, the expression on Reynard's face changed.

The cigar burned unknowingly, and he hurriedly threw it a few meters away, which immediately attracted the scramble of several homeless people.

The Southern Second Branch of the Honeysuckle Chamber of Commerce is a small two-story building located on the busiest street of the City of Plenty.

Although it is not high, it has a large area.

Renard rode to the door and said openly, "I want to see Lord Stanley." ”

The waitress at the door looked respectful, cleared her throat without a trace, and asked, "Is there an appointment?"

Renard didn't bother to talk nonsense with the other party, and replied in a tough tone: "Tell Lord Stanley, Renard Duncan is visiting, and I want him to meet me." ”

The waitress looked at him with a little surprise for a long time, and then said, "Your Excellency Stanley has explained before, if you come to him, you can go directly to the parlor on the second floor, and he will be waiting there." ”

Renard looked stunned, and immediately frowned, the other party expected him to come, and he must have investigated himself.

After a moment of silence, he turned over and dismounted, and was led by the maid to the second floor.

The living room on the second floor of the Honeysuckle Chamber of Commerce is elegantly decorated, even the glass bottle placed at the door is a rare work of art, and the taste of vanilla milk tea is also a hundred times more mellow than other places.

After about half a cup of tea, Stanley walked in slowly: "Your Excellency Renard, I didn't expect you to be really free to visit the Honeysuckle Chamber of Commerce, it really surprised me. ”

Renard pouted, the other party lied without blinking, this kung fu was enough for him to learn for decades.

Stanley sat down on the couch, looking in good spirits, and took out a box of cigars from under the coffee table, lit one himself, and pulled out another one and handed it to Renard.

Thinking that he had almost coughed up his lungs in the morning, Renard immediately waved his hand: "I'm not here for this cigar." ”

"Oh?" said Stanley, taking two puffs, "authentic O'Neill cigars, worth three silver coins each." ”

Hearing this, Renard almost took it in a hurry: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

He slipped the cigar into his pocket and said frankly, "I guess you already know what I'm here for." ”

"If it's about the heir to the City of Plenty, don't talk about it. Stanley took a deep breath: "The Honeysuckle Chamber of Commerce only does business, and does not mix right and wrong, at least I do." ”

Renard raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked tentatively, "So you won't be on Charles's side?"

Stanley showed an undeniable expression: "For the sake of His Excellency Leander's face, I can guarantee that I will not get involved." ”

Renard frowned when he heard this, thinking about the taste of the other party's words, could it be that Uncle already knew what was happening in the City of Plenty and intervened in it?

Leander Duncan is Renard's own uncle, Grace's father, the Viscount of the Kingdom, but for life.

He is currently the Chief of the General Staff of the Southern Corps, the second-in-command of the Southern Army.

His uncle was more capable than his father Hamilton, after all, Hamilton was a hereditary baron, while Leander was promoted to the viscount title by accumulating military merits.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Stanley couldn't help but tap on the table, adding, "Although I don't participate in it, I can't control the rest of the Honeysuckle Chamber of Commerce."

Renard knew what he meant, Seniore had been in business in Southern Wilderness County for many years, and had installed a lot of descendants, and Stanley had just taken over here, and it would take a long time to completely control it.

After a brief exchange, the two sides fell into a long silence.

After a while, Stanley suddenly asked, "I'm curious, why are you helping Miss Heidi?"

Renard was silent, in fact, he didn't know why he was so concerned about this matter, so he said blindly: "What is the reason why I like her?"

Stanley smiled at the corner of his mouth and said in an envious tone, "What the most beautiful age." ”
