"Here are a total of three thousand gold bonds, each with a denomination of one hundred thousand, a total of three hundred million silver coins...... You can exchange the corresponding amount at any store in the imperial capital or even in the south. ”

The one who came to the door was an expressionless and richly dressed old man, who did not forget to bow humbly after handing the box full of bonds to the black-haired wizard: "I'm sorry, because of the affairs in the Chamber of Commerce, Young Master Yode has left early, so I can only entrust the things to you, and I hope that Viscount Haihan." ”

I'm afraid you don't want to see me again......

Loren sneered in his heart, still with a formulaic smile on his face: "Where, I absolutely believe in the credibility of the Yode Chamber of Commerce...... But if I'm going to convert all of these bonds into cash, will you be able to afford them?"

"Of course, but you need to book at least a month in advance and we'll get you the full amount in cash... Whether silver or gold, the credibility of the Yode Chamber of Commerce is unquestionable. ”

The old man with a serious expression suddenly sighed: "Of course, in order to make up this huge amount of money, the Yode Chamber of Commerce has collected all the reserves in the imperial capital, and at the same time ......sold several stores at a low price."

"Whatever the reason, Viscount Loren... This time you win, the Yode Chamber of Commerce is willing to accept the loss, we will not deliberately provoke you or do anything against you, and we hope to get your understanding. ”

"After all, we're all Byrins... On the territory of the Sakran people, the Byrnens, who bear the shame of the country, should unite with each other. ”

"I understand. ”

Even if he knew that the other party was deliberately thinking of a snake, Loren had no intention of continuing to be an enemy of the Yode Chamber of Commerce... At least not now: "I won't touch this money for the time being, and your chamber of commerce can rest assured... In the short term, I guarantee that the amount of withdrawals in the imperial capital will not exceed 10 million silver coins. ”

"Thank you so much!" the old man humbly saluted the black-haired wizard again, "I will convey this matter to the elder immediately, and I will make sure that he understands your tolerance...... Of course, you are also welcome to visit the Chamber of Commerce at any time, and we will receive you ceremoniously!"

"President?" Loren raised an eyebrow, "That's... Where's little Yod?"

"Little Master Yode......"

The old man's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated for a moment before sighing: "Probably if I go back this time, I will be deprived of the position of heir... I know what you're worried about, so don't worry about it, at least for ten years, Young Master Yode shouldn't have the capital to take revenge on you!"

Loren bowed slightly, believing his words.

Although he didn't know much about the operational structure of the chamber of commerce, he also knew that the larger the chamber structure, the more complex it was... No matter how unshakable the Yode family's position in the Chamber of Commerce is, it is absolutely unimaginable to let the Chamber of Commerce lose 300 million silver coins at one time.

Even in order to ensure the status of his family, I am afraid that the old president Yord will have to abandon his son and give the other members of the chamber of commerce a minimum explanation.

And what Loren didn't know was whether this little Lord Yode was the leader of the Yode Chamber of Commerce in the north...... The 300 million chips he won in the big gamble not only defeated the Yode Chamber of Commerce in the imperial capital, but also completely buried their intention to extend their tentacles to the north.

Maybe five years, maybe ten years... The entire Yod-German Chamber of Commerce may not have the power to erode the trade share of the Ebolden Chambers of Commerce... And after five or ten years, it is even less likely that Ebolden, who has recovered, will give up these shares.

................................................

Silent dawn, early morning mist enveloped the entire imperial capital of Golovin, and the carriages drove slowly on the empty road, and only the crisp sound of horses' hooves and wheels could be heard.

The sleeping Lena de Salion slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying flat in the carriage, all the clothes on her body intact, not even the slightest trace of wrinkles......

"Tsk......"

The girl took a sip.

"Miss Lena, this doesn't seem to be an attitude towards a life-saver. The languid tone of the black-haired wizard came, and the "black-rimmed glasses" saw Loren sitting beside her, still holding a steaming cup of mint tea in his hand, with a hypocritical smile on his face:

"Want a pick-me-up?"

"Would you be so kind?" the girl raised an eyebrow.

"I want to drink it and soak it myself. Loren smiled: "This cup is mine." ”

"I think so. ”

Sitting up angrily, Lena found that there was already a steaming teacup on the coffee table in front of her, and the slow-paced voice of the black-haired wizard:

"I don't know what you're up to, but it's really hard not to suspect what you've sent to your door... Let me repeat, Miss Lena de Salion, my intentions in friendship with you are absolutely sincere, please don't cheat me, okay?"

"By the way, you... It's really not the type I like. ”

"Cut ......" Lena looked away and muttered in a low voice:

"If you don't dare, you don't dare... A man with a thief's heart but no guts......"

The helpless black-haired wizard simply ignored the "black-rimmed glasses" and his eyes fell on the parchment note in his hand...... Judging from the handwriting and the "way" of the other party's letter, the situation is probably quite rushed, so much so that there is no time to even show up.

In other words... At that time, those who wanted to kill themselves were probably already waiting outside the door, but they never came forward.

So the second question... Who is it?

The "one" who sent the letter should have never left the casino, which means that the person who wanted to assassinate him was also in the casino, and judging from the tone, maybe he still knew the other party.

Little Yode... There is this possibility, but the Yode Chamber of Commerce is already willing to reconcile with himself, and it is impossible to suddenly kill himself at this time without arousing suspicion - he is Brandon's cronies, and anything that happens to him will be associated with His Royal Highness the prince by outsiders, where did they have the courage?

The same can be said for casinos - if they encounter an assassin just after leaving, won't they be worried about getting into trouble at all?

Either they are not, or they are really emboldened and willing to take such a risk...... Someone bigger and more powerful is willing to support them in such a crazy move!

Which one could be more powerful than the Chamber of Commerce group that supported the empire's finances?

Maybe it's the forces behind the Charn family?

Maybe... Is it His Royal Highness Crown Prince Connad, who is far away in the fortress of Broken Mountain?

Maybe... His real enemy actually came from the Heavenly Dome Palace above his head?

The sudden thought made the black-haired wizard shudder... He suddenly remembered Brandon's adjective for the dead Chancellor of the Exchequer, Siscott Charn.

There are three kinds of people in the Imperial Council, the loyalist, and the powerful... I had to let him join the team.

Siscott Charn is the one that Eckhart II had to make a member of the Imperial Cabinet in order to pacify and control the aristocracy!

Could it be his death... Actually, it was the will of Eckhart II?!

The strangeness of the black-haired wizard made the girl next to him a little noticed, and Lena de Salion, who frowned slightly, secretly glanced at him, but did not say anything.

Right now.

"Bell ——!"

A shrill scream and a heavy crash came from outside the carriage!

The girl's face changed drastically, her eyes were staring at the car door, and she was just about to get up when she was held down by the black-haired wizard.

"Don't move, haven't you noticed yet?"

Loren lowered his voice, his eyes narrowed:

"The car has stopped. ”

Lena, who had a bad complexion, tilted her head slightly, and it took a second to really react.

The coachman who came to pick them up from the Summer Twilight Courtyard has already been killed... The horse driving the carriage had brought it here by mere inertia.

Wrong... Not so.

"The coachman, we should have been dropped when we left the casino. Loren's face was calm, and his left hand had already pressed the bright silver on his waist: "Since we left the casino, the direction of this carriage is not the Summer Twilight Courtyard, let alone the Wizarding Academy. ”

"As for the crossbow bolt just now......"

"Just to say hello to us. ”

They were tricked from the very beginning ... Because the coachman was from the Summer Twilight Courtyard, the black-haired wizard didn't pay much attention to it, so much so that he didn't notice it when he was transferred.

"That's... What to do?"

"Do you still need to ask?" Loren hooked the corners of his mouth:

"Go say hi to them!"
