Chapter 212: Dying

In ancient times, it was the residence of the pharaohs, and the people of the lotus had no tiredness.

In addition, the decline over the years has been very great, and many actions are contrary to action.

This poem is the most appropriate way to describe William's family at this time.

This family was once very prosperous, and the first generation of the head of the family was once the best warrior under the Grand Duke, ranked among the many viscounts, ruled hundreds of miles, and held the three powers of the four city-states army, power, and government.

But just three generations later, when the title passed to William Warner, there was only one baron left, and not only that, but his previous successor, that is, his father, lost all the savings in the family treasury with several hands.

In the past three days, William Warner has been dealing with the debt collection that has followed.

And the Windsor family, represented by Windsor Maria, has been waiting for them to fall into trouble for a long time, so at this time, they also resolutely chose to fall into the well, not only to help Yixiu collect debts, but even the city lord who has been on their side has also chosen to cooperate with Windsor to squeeze the surplus value of the William family together.

Faced with this situation, the William family, which was still surviving on the surface, held a secret meeting.

The meeting was held in a small, dark and enclosed room, with only a round table, about ten meters long and four meters wide, and some, a total of fifteen chairs.

The only thing that provided light in the small room was on the table, a lampholder made of pure gold with red hedrons dancing on it.

At this moment, William Warner, as the head of the family, sat in the center of the round table, surrounded by six people on each side, all of whom were old and looked to be at least one hundred and fifty years old.

They all sat there as if they were asleep, much to William Warner's annoyance.

(The average life expectancy of Atlanteans is 200 years)

And on the two chairs opposite William Warner, there were two richly dressed men, one old and one young.

The older one, apparently a slave as well, kept his body sideways to the young man, bowing his head in a silent gesture of respect for his master.

The young man held his head high, and although half of his face was covered by a black cloth, his eyes like falcons could still give everyone present a terrifying pressure.

At this moment, the young man was slowly tapping his index finger on the table one by one, and at the same time looked at William Warner coldly, he looked at it for a long time, and then the young man spoke coldly.

"Baron William Warner, you don't need to explain to me why our weapons orders haven't been safely shipped across the border as scheduled!"

At this moment, an old man sitting on William Warner's left hand, from the initial state of sleep, slowly opened his eyes exuding wisdom, and said to the young man in front of him.

"Lord Tianxing, please forgive me, the head of the William Warner family has just taken over, and I don't know much about our business, so let the old man lead the family to answer your questions!"

Tianxing, that is, the young man on the other side, heard this, looked at the old man and nodded reluctantly.

Seeing this, the old man turned sideways, found a comfortable position, leaned on the handle of the chair, and spoke in a somewhat pleading, but more unquestionable tone.

"There are three reasons for this problem, first, you also know that our William family and Shuangyan Country are engaged in the resale of military weapons, every time we want to send these goods out of the border, it is really too difficult, this time it is because the goods are much larger than the previous amount, it is not good to send them out of the border at one time, so we must be divided into batches, and you must be accommodating in time. ”

Tianxing heard this first reason, and felt that it was reasonable, but the border friction between the two countries of the Hehuo Kingdom and the Shuangyan Country has become more and more intense recently, and he needs a large number of weapons, so he must let the William family send them to the Shuangyan Country.

For this reason, Tianxing had to speed up the process of this matter infinitely, so Tianxing especially wanted to let this old man who loves nonsense get out immediately, the farther he went, the better, he didn't want to hear the reason, he just wanted to hear the result.

Who knew that before the old man could say anything to Tianxing, he hurriedly said in a panic.

To sum up, the two so-called reasons behind the old man are nothing more than pointing all the fingers at Yixiu.

Because of the defeat of the trade war between the Ichishu William family and the Windsor family, because the Ichishu William family's trading house transporting ordnance suffered a heavy blow, and because Ichishu lost the big backer of the city lord, it will be impossible to act as an umbrella for their business in the future.

Anyway, the old man who looked a little kind at the beginning was the one with bad water in his stomach, and he threw all his faults on Yixiu.

After Tianxing listened, he muttered for a long time, still knocking on the table, but his gaze kept sweeping back and forth between the dozen or so people across from him, and finally stopped at William Warner, and said to him in a slightly oppressive tone.

"Since that's said, then Viscount wants to ask you William family if they still have the ability to contract underground transactions with me, if so, I believe that this old thing has told Viscount Ben so much, what to mention for a break, what to mention about the mysterious backstage, just to ask Viscount Ben for something, since that's the case, then open the skylight, and make it clear that you need Viscount Ben, what do you do!"

"You... After all, the old man was old, and he was scolded by a young young descendant, and he was angry like scolding him, but he just said a word and held back, and was forcibly pressed on the chair by a person next to her.

Immediately afterwards, William Warner made a categorical decision to face the sky in front of him.

"Honorable Viscount Tianxing of the Shuangyan Kingdom, please forgive my family elder for offending you, and here I have the glory of the William family as a guarantee, my William family still has the ability to cooperate with you for a long time, but in order for our cooperation to really need you to help us with two things, please be sure to agree. ”

After finishing speaking, William Warnerqiang opened his swollen eyes, which had already been beaten by Yixiu, and looked at Tianxing in front of him very expectantly.

And Tianxing laughed disdainfully in front of everyone, and then I spat out a word.

Say. ”

When William Warner heard this, he hurriedly answered, "The first is that I need you, send someone to inform me of the city lord of Rock Fire City, and remind me not to unload the mill and kill the donkey, the matter is revealed, and none of us can get any benefit, and the second is that I need you to pay the deposit of 40,000 crystals for the arms transaction in advance to speed up the process of this transaction, what do you think of these two conditions?"

After Tianxing heard this, he showed a surprised expression, shook his hand, threw out four Yatong Trading House exchange coupons with the words 10,000 crystal coins written on them, and stood up and walked towards the door of the small house, while the servant who had been following him immediately stood up as soon as he saw his master leaving, turned his head to look at William Warner, who was still sitting, and said in a cold voice that was still sitting.

"Lord Viscount Tianxing, I have agreed to your conditions, as for the problem of the city lord, I will also solve this matter on behalf of Lord Viscount, I hope you will do your best not to disappoint the lord, otherwise you will understand!!"

Leaving behind such a sentence that was enough to terrify everyone present, the servant of Tianxing also walked out of this dark room.

William Warner and everyone looked at each other, and they both saw the excitement of being reborn in each other's expressions.

After a pillar of incense, William Warner received a call from the city lord, and after listening to the call, William Warner sat in the room like a madman, and laughed as if no one was there.

After he finished laughing, Bao Tongtong gasped, and hurriedly ran in from the door, shouting intermittently.

"There's a big thing in the city, the small, the small one has a plan, let's let Yixiu lose his reputation!!"
