Chapter 30 • Planning

Time rewinds to the first day after the Despeyer Advent event.

William Köehler, the spokesman for the Köhler family, jumped out at the first time, claiming that the Bates family had some kind of forbidden deal with the demon lord of the Raging Abyss, in an attempt to control the entire Sviser Federation.

William Koehler declared that the Köhler family would sever all trade relations with the Batesens family, and mobilized his rich literati to rush the manuscript overnight to launch a public opinion attack on the Batesens family.

The Koehler family owns the most authoritative news company in Svize, and it can be said that it controls the public opinion of the entire Svizer Federation, and has thousands of news people under its umbrella to collect information on various ethnic groups for the Köhler family.

But it is strange that the Koehler family has always been in a neutral position since its establishment, and the newspapers they send out have always been the most rigorous and objective reports, and there is absolutely no possibility of the slightest element of supervision.

This is absolutely forbidden, and William Keller's action is a clear violation of the Koehler family's family rules.

But William Koehler was not punished by the family, the Koehler family top brass disappeared as if they were collective, and the power of public opinion held by the Koehler family immediately allowed him to stand on the moral high ground and win the support of the vast majority of the people of the Sweezer Federation.

The Bates family immediately responded that the Devil's Coming incident had nothing to do with them, and that the Bates family had been in business for generations and could not do such a thing that damaged their reputation, and condemned William Köhler for his bad intentions and damage the close trade relationship between the Bates and Koehler families for a hundred years.

However, Batesens's statement had little effect in the context of the Koehler family's control of public opinion, and many newspapers owned by the Koehler family rushed to produce several newspapers overnight to frame the Batesens family.

The Sviser Federation is a very strange country, there are no untouchables in this country, everyone has the opportunity to ascend to high positions, even the children of commoners have the right to learn knowledge, which is inseparable from a unique administrative system adopted by the Twelve Families when creating the Sviser Federation - a democratic republic.

This political system first appeared in the republics of goblins and gnomes, as early as the founding of the Swiezer Confederation, the Bates family, who had a hundred years of trade with the Republic of Gold Coins, took the initiative to adopt this republican system, which was adopted by the Twelve Families.

It can be said that the Swiezer people only need to pay low taxes to sell their lives, and from then on they will be bathed in the light, enjoy the highest treatment of human beings in the whole Isère world, and live with dignity.

The Swiezers are optimistic, believing themselves to be the happiest human beings in all of Isère, even though the unbridled growth of the grey trade has taken some lives and even made the entire federal society unhealthy.

The influx of a large number of half-elves and half-orcs has made the Sviser Federation's erotic and gladiatorial industries grow stronger and stronger, and more and more young people are tempted by the drunken gold addiction of alcohol and desire.

The Batesens and Morgan are a powerful combination of the magic industry and the potions industry, and they have never disdained to engage in these gray trades, believing that they should be banned.

The Bates family's trade orders all over the world and the countless large and small business districts in the Sviser Federation bring astronomical benefits to the family every minute.

Not to mention the Morgan family, they even supplied food for the whole Federation, and it is said that the patriarch Joseph Morgan has some secret relationship with Okanin, the president of the Mage Guild, and the Köhler family's intelligence network has not figured out what is going on for a long time.

The Koehler family, on the other hand, had a long trade relationship with the Gambi family, who controlled most of Swiezer's casinos, and the Takilia family, who were mainly involved in the sex industry. The Koehler family's newspaper publishes and publishes many books and magazines promoting the business of the Gambi and Takilia families, which are very popular in the Svizer Federation.

The Hawkins family, which began in the slave trade, and even the Koehler family have a century-long history of marriage, and the mother of William Koehler, the contemporary spokesman of the Koehler family, is the sister of the Hawkins patriarch, Kanel Hawkins.

The Koehlers had some trade with the Bates family, but these trade faded since William Koehler became spokesman, and are now completely severed.

Solomon Batesens, the eldest son of the Bates family, was verbally abused by angry voters in a Swiezer federal consul election, and the scene eventually spiraled out of control, and Solomon was able to escape under the protection of many bodyguards.

The Bates family used their family resources to arrange future employment for all the families of the victims of the dispelling arrival, and tripled the original full compensation in an attempt to appease the angry crowd. Only then did the situation ease slightly.

But William Koehler ordered the literati of the Köhler family's major newspapers to create public opinion, pointing out that the Batesens family was trying to use money to buy off the people in order to achieve ulterior motives.

At the same time, the Koehler family fabricated fake news about the Bates family's gray trade, causing great losses to the Bezens family.

However, just as the Koehler family and the Bates family were in a fierce confrontation at the level of public opinion, an anonymous letter quietly appeared at the door of the Köhler family's daily newspaper Swiezer.

The anonymous letter pointed out that Charlemagne XII, the current Lionheart King of the Aslan Empire, had a serious illness after the war in the Ghost Country, which was said to be so serious that he had not even dealt with government affairs for two or three months.

Such a thing would be unthinkable in a powerful empire with an absolute monarchy, but there was no movement on the part of the Aslan Empire, as if Charlemagne XII was safe and sound, which seemed strange.

The letter also states that after this war, the head of the Desperate Monarch hanging from the gates of the capital of the Oni Nation was missing, and it was not long before the Desperate Monarch descended on Victoria.

The whole thing seems confusing, and the meaning of this anonymous letter seems to be pointing the finger at the Aslan Empire and the hell of despair.

The anonymous letter immediately attracted the attention of the senior management of the Swiezer Daily, and after several meetings, it was finally decided to hand over the anonymous letter to the Koehler family, which received a reply from the Koehler family that afternoon.

Destroy anonymous letters immediately, and block all messages.

This kind of efficiency was unprecedented in the Koehler family, but the daily newspaper Sweezer chose to obey the orders of its superiors, destroyed the anonymous letters, and blocked all relevant information.

The author of the anonymous letter may have expected this, and he rewrote the same anonymous letter and placed it in the Batesnes family, at the door of Mayer Batesens's study, without even anyone noticing.

When Meyer Batesens discovered the anonymous letter, he ordered the immediate recall of the seven remaining members of the family to convene an emergency meeting at the Bates family's headquarters in the southernmost part of Victoria Island.

The day after Gagir returned to Isère, the seven worshippers returned to Victoria one by one, and after meeting Old Meyer, the meeting was officially convened.

Gagil Floating Wind (Wild Elf - Bloodline Warlock/Daoist - LV179.9 Demigod) is responsible for sourcing talent for the Batesens family, while protecting the Batesens family to a certain extent, and sometimes advising Meyer.

Samur Bloodblade (Orc-Juggernaut-Saint 7th) is responsible for conquering the diehards who disrespect the Bates family and refuse to trade with the Bates Earns, Nathan's sword master, and Nathan's protector.

Hegmant Westum (Human-Mage-Astrologer-LV110 Epic) is known as the Great Sage, responsible for most of Batesens' foreign trading tasks, and Mayer's number one staff. He is also the enlightenment teacher of the three young masters of the Batesens family.

Ced Corig (Human-Warrior-LV130 Epic) is based in the Batesens family's territory in Victoria, and is responsible for keeping the family safe, and the weapon is an epic tower shield. Wounded by Okanin during the Advent of Dispel.

Lanzer Corrig (Human-Warrior-LV130 Epic) is based in the Batesens family's territory in Victoria, and is responsible for keeping the family safe, and is armed with an epic spear. Wounded by Okanin during the Advent of Dispel.

Rhonda Gallick (Gnome – Mechanical Engineer – LV80 Gold) A master mechanic hired by the Bates family from the Republic of Gold to develop and utilize the Arcane Core.

Anthony Kstasa (Dragonborn - Dragon Slayer - LV160 Demigod) is the shadow guard of the Bates family, the wanted criminal of the Duchy of Dragons, responsible for cleaning up the enemies of the Bates family in the shadows, and is the sharpest knife in the hands of Old Meyer, loyal to Old Meyer.

These seven enshriners are all strong men who stand at the pinnacle of their respective fields, and for various reasons they have devoted themselves to the command of Meyer Sr., and are an important pillar for the Bates family to stand at the height of today.

The meeting was held at a round table, and the elder Mayer sat on a high-backed chair, the ornate backrest and armrests engraved with beautiful patterns, both in terms of material and carving, which were extremely exquisite, a work of art produced by the Elven Court, which was bought by the elder Mayer for a large sum of money, and would only be used in emergency meetings.

His fingers were crossed at the moment, supporting his chin all over the ravine, and his old face could vaguely tell the handsomeness of his youth, and if the little ghost was there, he could almost immediately tell that he was Brian and Nathan's father.

It could be seen that old Meyer was very angry now, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was thinking about something.

Brian brought back that little guy and caused so much trouble that the plans of the two families, Bates and Morgan, had to be carried out in advance.

I shouldn't have gotten used to that stinky boy...

"Damn! What did that old man do with the Bronze Hammer!" Samuel roared, his brown face turning purple, and his thick greatsword slammed into the floor with a thunderous sound, and it was evident that the grumpy orc swordmaster was furious at the moment.

"The floor maintenance fee will be deducted from your next month's salary" Old Meyer's eyelids moved slightly, but he didn't open them, and he still closed his eyes to recuperate.

There was silence in the conference room, and Anthony took out a handkerchief and wiped his long knife stained with the blood of countless dragons, his whole body was restrained, but he could still smell a faint smell of sulfur.

This is the breath that belongs to the Abyss Demon Dragon.

Rhonda sat in a special high chair drawing an engineering drawing, muttering something as if it were some complex mathematical formula, and his appearance was a little funny, and no one could tell that the fifth-generation Arcane Core was from him.

The two Corrig brothers were almost carved out of a mold, and at the moment they were dejectedly piled up in their chairs, and it seemed that Okanin had hit them both too hard.

Hegmant was a scholar, he sat silently, his eyes revealing a deep wisdom, constantly jumping between Gagil and old Meyer, with a meaningful smile on his face.

Gagil was silent, as if thinking about something, and he felt Hegmant's electric gaze, and responded with the same deep gaze, waiting for Hegmant or Old Meyer to speak.

"Ahem... You all know the plan, right? There's been an accident lately, I'm afraid it's going to have to be brought forward..."Old Meyer's old voice sounded, plain but a little resolute.

"Hegmant... Tell you what to do next..."
