Greystone Valley.

A richly decorated carriage slowly stopped, and a middle-aged man about forty years old with a rather calm bearing slowly stepped out of the carriage.

Dressed in an expensive silk costume, he feels quite smart.

The air was filled with soot and the smell of hematite.

Taking a square towel from his pocket and covering his mouth and nose, the middle-aged man walked into a tent led by an old gray-haired butler.

A desk, two chairs, and the décor is quite simple.

As far as the eye could see, the middle-aged man was gathering as much information as he could, and these things might be useful in the negotiations that would take place later.

The subtleties are real, and he came with a mission this time.

The middle-aged man's full name is Benjamin Gorland, a director of the Golden Kite Chamber of Commerce, and another identity is the second son of the Earl of Gorland.

The succession of the family title has almost nothing to do with him, the second son, when he reached the age of seventeen, he entered the Golden Kite Chamber of Commerce under the arrangement of his father, and twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and a young man much younger than Benjamin had imagined walked into the tent.

Black hair and black eyes, a somewhat thin figure, and short black hair is a little messy.

The black robe was covered with dust, and the corners had been polished into bright spots.

It seems that this rumored demon descendant is a rather pragmatic person, so when the exchange is in place, there can be less greetings and twists and turns.

Benjamin Golland, director of the Golden Kite Chamber of Commerce. It is an honor to meet you, Your Excellency Lord Rhodes. Benjamin took off his hat and performed a standard aristocratic courtesy.

"Just the two of us, let's not make this red tape stuff. Rod returned the salute and said with a smile.

"Let's get down to business. ”

Rhodes motioned for Benjamin to take a seat.

"The Golden Kite Chamber of Commerce hopes to reach an agreement with Your Excellency the Lord to obtain the exclusive right to buy and sell this hematite vein. Benjamin got straight to the point.

Ten days have passed since the first truckload of hematite was delivered to the city of Bergas.

Countless spies have sent back information that this vein very close to the surface is easy to mine, and the ore is of high quality, even if it is a small vein, the reserves can support at least three or five years.

A fortune that the Golden Kite Chamber of Commerce cannot ignore.

If it weren't for the fact that the background of this demon descendant was too cloudy, many nobles would have planned to use some shady means.

Benjamin took out a copy of the contract and began to explain it carefully to Rod.

The Golden Kite Firm will sign an exclusive supply treaty with Rhodes at a price 20 percent above the market price, and within three years, they will eat all the ore produced by this hematite mine.

As a prerequisite for completing the contract, the Golden Kite Chamber of Commerce will advance the contract fee of 100,000 gold coins.

However, the contract is conditional on the fact that all ore will be transported by Ruder Finn.

The handover is completed once a month, and the value of the ore contained cannot be less than 5,000 gold coins.

They were to prepare forty wagons and matching mules and horses for Rod.

There are dozens of clauses on the contract, large and small.

One of the contracts is very prominent.

If Ruder Finn fails to hand over the hematite on time, it will pay liquidated damages ten times the contract price.

After explaining the details of the contract, Benjamin took out ten golden tickets with huge denominations.

"If Lord Rhodes is willing to agree to sign this contract, then these golden tickets issued by the Bronze Sparrow Firm will be Lord Rhodes'. ”

Benjamin said with a smile, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, with a faint confidence.

A delicious poison bait.

But Rod couldn't seem to refuse.

It seems that everyone in the city of Bergas knows that he Rhodes is short of money.

Because he even scraped the land of the goblins, and almost all the booty was exchanged for gold and grain?

The biggest pitfall of this contract is that Rhodes is responsible for transporting the ore.

and sky-high liquidated damages in the event of failure to complete the handover on time.

Rodmore rubbed his knuckles on his knuckles, thinking.

After signing the contract, they must have tried all kinds of ways to make it impossible for Rhodes to transport a single ore to Bolgas.

As soon as the one-month deadline expires, Rhodes will face a sky-high amount of liquidated damages, which is equivalent to pledging the entire hematite mine to the Golden Kite Chamber of Commerce.

If the contract is refused.

They also wouldn't let a single piece of hematite into the city of Bergas.

If the forces behind the Golden Kite Chamber of Commerce collude with the Chamber of Commerce of Bergas City.

No more caravans will buy any more ore from Rhodes.

Rhodes also couldn't buy a grain of grain.

Under the Grand Duke of Akacedar.

Once Rhodes wants to use force to solve this incident, he just happens to be in the middle of it, presumably the lords behind the Golden Kite Chamber of Commerce will immediately send troops to attack the barren land.

An upright conspiracy.

A contract that had to be signed.

Bait.

Rhodes folded his hands and leaned forward slightly, his posture quite threatening.

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

Hearing the words of the demon in front of him, a big stone fell to the ground in Benjamin's heart.

Now he was immensely grateful for the power of the Grand Duke of the Red Cedar, and it was in this city of Borgas that they dared to persecute a demon.

Benjamin opened his briefcase and pulled out a deed written on brown parchment.

"Then in the presence of the Goddess of Wealth, I will sign a contract with Lord Rhodes on behalf of the Golden Kite Chamber of Commerce. ”

Contracts blessed by the divine power of the Goddess of Wealth can be obtained from the Church of Wealth for a sufficient amount of money.

After signing the contract, the party who violates the contract will be pulled into the blacklist of the Goddess of Fortune.

It also means being insulated from all the chambers of commerce in this world.

Sign your name and the contract is made.

A golden-red flame enveloped the contract and burned out.

"Mr. Benjamin, send greetings to the lord behind you on my behalf. ”

"His 'generous' 'gift' this time, Rod will definitely reciprocate. Rod said with a smile and said goodbye to Benjamin.

Benjamin heard the threat in Rod's words, but he didn't care.

This demon descendant could never have imagined how much power it would have to join forces against several adults against him this time.

Bolgas, a true nobleman, no one would underestimate a demon.

Even if this Demon Descendant does have the ability to "return the gift".

What does it have to do with him Benjamin?

He's just a businessman in charge of passing the word and that's it.

Seeing Benjamin leave, Rod rubbed his eyebrows, and could see that he was a little distressed.

Needless to say, Rhodes didn't want the people behind Benjamin to think that he was a deep, forbearant guy.

He is now essentially a paper tiger with teeth and claws, and he looks very powerful.

This demonic image has brought him a lot of help, but it has brought more trouble.

Once he showed his timidity, presumably the wolves would rush up and tear him to pieces at the first moment.

"Akron, tell Agan to let the Shanyue people control food consumption by a quarter. ”

"Didn't the golden kite send us forty wagons, bring a sum of money, and use the wagons to buy a batch of building materials and transport them back. ”

"Buy a batch of food, the more the merrier. ”

Akron took the order.

Rod opened the lord template and clicked on the backpack space.

A ten-meter square space with a small pile of gold coins in the middle.

"If there is a large enough space magic weapon to transport ore, how can there be so much trouble. ”

Then Rod laughed dumbly.

Space magic weapons have a price, and any one that appears costs hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

It's time to be content with a 10-meter-square backpack.
