Chapter 173: An Unexpected Meeting (Part I)

In the newly completed United Chamber of Commerce in the city of Crimson Blood, Roger Yoder was sitting in a lavishly decorated, Ebden-style banquet hall of the Chamber of Commerce, enjoying the hospitality of his master with a blank face.

Forty-year-old red blood, classic wine goulash, West Sackland-style dim sum, and even a delicious blue cod... Although it is slightly pickled, the cost of the journey from Ebolden to Byrne alone is staggering.

However, at this moment, old Roger was not in the mood to dine at all, clenched the armrests on both sides of the chair hard, and looked vigilantly at the petite and weak figure at the other end of the long table.

"It is a pleasure for the Chamber to visit us in person, Lord Roger Yord. ”

Sitting on the chair, Ariel Corona, with long silver hair, looked dignified, and said in a weak and immature voice: "I hope today's banquet meets your appetite, and I hope you will forgive me if there is anything inconsiderate." ”

Old Roger frowned when he heard this, his expression became even more gloomy, and his cold gaze swept around the banquet hall, as if a pair of eyes were peering at him from some corner.

"Are you looking for something, and if you need it, feel free to ask ......"

"Don't say such polite words to me, old man, Miss Ariel of Corona!" Old Roger, whose face was like frost, interrupted the girl's words coldly, and looked at her unceremoniously:

"You and I both know the reason for today's meeting, so don't continue to talk nonsense!"

"Why?"

"Don't challenge my patience, especially today!" looked at the girl with a confused face, and the old Roger's hands holding the armrests of the chair gradually became stronger, and the taut fingertips began to white.

Of course, he knew the purpose of the other party's sudden banquet - to capture the United Chamber of Commerce in several trading points north of Byrne, and it would take time to digest the new territory and establish stable trade routes, and at the same time prepare for the counterattack of the Yod Chamber of Commerce;

But that's okay, because the Yode Chamber of Commerce, which is currently in a state of great devastation, also needs time to recover and fine-tune, so a temporary reconciliation is not impossible... But this does not mean that he can accept a puppet that was obviously thrown out by the other party as an equal negotiation partner with himself!

"I have no intention of humiliating you, Miss Ariel, but I also know that you are not the true head of this joint chamber of commerce... So let's save both of us the effort......"

Old Roger spoke, his face gloomy: "For the last time... Don't challenge my patience!"

There was a long silence.

The girl sitting opposite her gently put down the tableware in her hand, and the last trace of emotion at the corner of her mouth disappeared without a trace, turning back to her original simple indifference.

Old Roger glanced warily behind him.

He knows very well that this is the other party's base camp, and it is already a taboo to take risks in person, in case the other party is really ready to tear his face and prepare to do something to himself, then ......

"I'm still wondering why the restaurant of the Chamber of Commerce is so lively today, it turns out that there are customers. ”

The sudden voice made old Roger stunned, his eyes widened in shock, and he suddenly looked up at the door behind the girl!

How, how... Did you hear it wrong?!

"Really, Miss Ariel is so cute and naughty - why don't you let me know if there's a guest coming?"

The footsteps knocked on the floor tiles in the corridor behind the door and made a crisp echo, and the words became clearer and clearer, making Old Roger's expression more and more stunned and incredulous.

No, it's impossible, it's impossible! He, he's not already ......

"But it doesn't matter if you think about it, right? after all, everyone is so familiar with each other, and it won't seem too rude to slack off a little......

"Smackβ€”β€”!

At the moment when the door opened, old Roger, who had his hands pressed on the table suddenly, suddenly got up, looked at the gentle "familiar figure" who walked in from behind the door in disbelief, smiled and bowed to himself with his hands behind his back:

"Father, I'm back. ”

Mato Yod...... The one who returned from the imperial capital should have died in the Jewel River a long time ago... Own son?!

It's him?!

"Your expression... It seems that there are still some suspicions, huh?" Little Yode smiled lightly, and put his right hand on his chest:

"That's right, it's me, the one you threw away as an outcast... Eldest son. ”

"You, why are you ......?"

"Why are you here?" the smile on the corner of Little Yode's mouth grew: "Oops, it seems that you still don't want to accept reality... That's right, I'm the one you've always wanted to meet, the real head of the United Chamber of Commerce. ”

"I'm the 'culprit' who personally brought down the Yod Chamber of Commerce's branch north of Byrne, and forced them to go bankrupt and transfer, and I'm also the mastermind behind everything... It was I who personally persuaded the Corona family to go south immediately, taking advantage of the sharp decline in the strength of the Yode Chamber of Commerce, seizing the chassis and waiting for the opportunity to ......"

Old Roger got up suddenly, his shocked face was now so hideous that it was twisted, and he strode towards the smiling little Yod, and then grabbed him by the collar and lifted him into the air.

"Why β€”β€”?!!!"

The angry old Roger shouted, but his eyes were fixed on Ariel Corona sitting on the side:

"What's going on?!"

The girl looked at him silently and said nothing, her contemptuous eyes seemed to be looking at a beast that was on the verge of a dead end.

The frightened little Yod had no intention of resisting, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.

"Answer me β€”β€”?!"

Old Roger is still roaring hoarsely... Hideous, desperate roared, and spit stars flew in all directions: "Did you hear that, Ariel Corona?!"

"You still don't seem to accept the reality, then I'll say it again, Miss Ariel is just a guest of the Red Blood Castle, and I am the ......"

A dark shadow flashed, and little Yod's voice came to an abrupt end.

The old Roger with a backhand punch hit him directly into the bridge of his nose, and the unsuspecting little Yod almost took the punch completely, and the crisp bone cracking sound and splashed blood foam sprayed out from the corner of his mouth, dyeing the collar of old Roger red.

"Who allowed you to interject, huh, who allowed you brute to interject?!"

The old Roger, who shouted loudly, threw little Yode directly into the corner, and little Yode, who had not yet stood firmly, was kicked again and collapsed to the ground with a miserable howl.

From beginning to end, Ariel sat quietly and watched with cold eyes, as if she was enjoying a wonderful drama.

Old Roger, who roared in a deep voice, was like a mad beast, and his shock and anger made his mood at the moment extremely tyrannical, staring at little Yod's face with a scorching killing intent.

"Bang β€”β€”!"

The door of the banquet hall was slammed open, and with the sound of the impact, a dozen heavily armed figures rushed in, and a steel jungle surrounded Old Roger.

"Stop itβ€”β€”!!!!"

Little Yod, who collapsed to the ground, roared abruptly, stopping the Chamber of Commerce guards who almost pounced on Old Roger and shattered his body to pieces.

As the words fell, little Yod, who had collapsed to the ground, scrambled to his feet, and old Roger stared at his bloody face, eager to tear apart.

"Don't get me wrong, Father... No one threatened me, everything was of my own free will. ”

Little Yode's voice was low, but his expression was cold:

"Do you really think that I will obediently return to Byrne and be removed as your heir, and be raised like a beast for the rest of my life... I'm sorry, but you don't know your son too well. ”

"No matter what means, no matter what status, I will take back what should belong to me, if you want to call me a traitor, just applaud, I don't care, because I know the real situation of the Yod Chamber of Commerce, I know too well how to defeat this seemingly powerful fat pig!"

"A month... Before Midsummer, I'll tear you apart, and then swallow them all up within a yearβ€”the United Chamber of Commerce will be the new Byrne ruler, and I'm its master!"

Angry old Roger trembled, desperately trying to resist his tyrannical and irrational impulses.

Little Yod, whose face was covered in blood, shrugged his shoulders and tidied up his messy clothes;

"What are you all doing there?" Lord Roger Yoder is tired, why don't you get out of the way and thank you for coming?"

After that, ignoring the eyes that could break himself into pieces, little Yod smiled slightly, and stretched out his right hand to old Roger:

"Lord Roger Yord, don't send it slowly!"
