Chapter 175: The Banquet
"Haha, it's such an honor for Mr. Qiao to be here! Please, Your Highness and several elders are already waiting! ”
The lights from the supermarket illuminated the door of the City Lord's Mansion as if it were day, even if night fell. The richly dressed butler who was waiting at the door greeted him from afar, smiling and greeting Johnny who was walking in front.
Behind Jonny, followed by a stone man who was more than three meters tall. On the left and right, there were Thatch, Loggins, Anzigo, and Gertrom. They were all dressed up carefully, and then followed the housekeeper and walked into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
In addition to the castle lord's mansion, there are several places in the town that are brightly lit. One of them is the three-story wooden building in a prime location, where Jonny has the heart to build his flagship store. There, even at night, business doesn't close until late. Although it is still far from opening 24 hours a day, it has greatly extended the night activities of people here.
Walking into the City Lord's Mansion, I turned around for a while before I came to the front hall where the banquet was held. A few people around Jonny stayed at the door, as did the stone man, and he followed the butler and bowed to His Royal Highness the Prince, who was coming towards him.
"Mr. Qiao doesn't have to be polite, today I just introduced a few people and got to know each other!"
Jonny's presence moved dozens of people in the entire front hall, and Lancetros smiled and greeted before stepping aside. Holly Junk and Libido led the people inside and introduced them to Jonny one by one.
The second elder and the few richly dressed people were full of smiles, and after greeting Johnny for a while, they chatted very affectionately. There was no dislike for the castle owner.
"Hehe, come, Mr. Qiao, please! The second leader will come later, the Zerg outside the city don't know whether to live or die, and we don't have much strength, so we can only work hard and the soldiers are running around and toiling outside! ”
"The second elder laughed, I am just a layman, where can I be so polite to you!"
With a modest courtesy, Jonny, along with several elders and the young prince, sat down in the front seat. A series of exquisite pastries were placed on the plate, held by beautiful maids, carefully placed in front of everyone.
"Haha, I'm sorry guys, I seem to be late!"
Here is talking and chatting, put on a new robe The second leader, with the smell of water vapor and bath liquid left behind after washing, walked in the door and greeted with a smile and a fist.
"Where, where, the second leader has worked hard, and I have just arrived!"
The kind words that should be said still have to be said, and after the second leader and the young prince stroked their chests, they sat next to each other. The maids also brought the main meal and wine to the table in the same way, and waited for everyone to eat.
Jony's behavior of not eating and drinking alcohol was known to everyone in the audience in advance, but they didn't feel too surprised. Except for the drinks, the knives and forks in front of him were not touched. However, for the sake of politeness, the three elders on the side and the second elders on the opposite side also chatted with them in a humorous manner, which naturally included all kinds of ingredients and drinks from the supermarket on the table at this time.
I don't know how long it has been since these rich and noble people, who used to eat and drink well, have not eaten such a hearty and delicious meal as they do today. They are much better off than ordinary people, but the calamity from the Zerg has also caused them a lot of losses. This town also tried its best to save it from the hands of the Zerg. They know a little more about the importance of this town than the average person.
Therefore, they hope to be able to meet with the owner of the castle before taking further action, so that they can maximize the benefits they can receive. Jonny also knew that 90% of the wealth in this town was in the hands of these people, so he thought twice about it and had the act of going to the banquet tonight.
According to the information revealed by the treasurer and the young prince, it is not difficult for Jonny to surmise that the wealth of the city lord's treasury is probably less than half of that of this town. If he wants to control the gold coin market, then he must circulate all the gold coins in the hands of these people in the supermarket, and then fill the market with his own gold coins.
After a dinner lasted nearly two hours, and after the maid removed the dishes from the table, everyone chatted for a while before someone slowly got up and left.
"Mr. Qiao, you talk slowly, I'm a little tired today, I'll go back and rest first!"
As a warrior, the second leader is only more attentive when dealing with those zergs or pirates and bandits. As for other things, he only understands and rarely meddles in them. The main purpose of tonight is also to get to know Jonny, and as for the rest, the third elder and the second elder will do it.
"Hehe, the second leader, please take care of yourself!"
Jonny got up to say goodbye to the second leader, and after him, the rest of the people also walked towards the gate of the city lord's mansion with slightly drunken steps.
In the end, except for Jonny, only the two elders and the young prince remained, and after glancing at each other, they sat down tacitly, waiting for the maids to clean up the place.
"Mr. Qiao, please, let's move to a different place to talk!"
In addition to Thatch and Anzigo, who were close guards, there were also many maids and servants at the door, and after the two elders said with a smile, they got up and walked towards the door.
A few minutes later, near the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, in front of a stone courtyard gate that was heavily guarded by many guards, the stone man followed a few people and came here.
"Open the door!" "Yes!"
The guards had already been instructed, looked at His Royal Highness the Prince and the two elders who came over, and after stroking their chests, they reached out and took one of the keys handed to them, and then took out another key and walked to the door.
"The defense here is not bad, I'm afraid it's hard for ordinary people to get close to here!"
Jonny glanced left and right, then said to the young prince and the two elders with a smile on his face. In addition to the guards of dozens of guards in the open and in the dark, this stone storehouse also took great effort to build. If there is no key to forcibly break through, the time spent digging the wall and tearing down the door alone is enough for people to run out of patience.
"Alas, you can't eat, you can't drink! If it weren't for the fact that they might be used in the future, the Great Elder and the Great Leader were ready to use all the contents into armor! ”
Since the Zerg disaster, a large amount of food has been robbed, humans have been killed, and they can't spend the money they have. The wealth accumulated cannot be exchanged for food and drink, and it is like useless stones. The three elders' emotion was also very helpless, this kind of situation where people starved to death with money made them extremely aggrieved.
"Mr. Qiao, please inside, everything is still inside!" Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
