The headquarters of the Crevin Chamber of Commerce is not in Degara City, but in the city of Muryek further west, yes, it is the Muryek city governed by Li Huailin's second wife Sisi, as the most developed commercial city in the south of the empire, the headquarters of the Crevan Chamber of Commerce is naturally located here.

At the headquarters of the Crevan Chamber of Commerce, President Stantin. Gordonbamm had just received a piece of news that surprised him for a long time, that is, the Duke of Aquitaine, the only duke of the Nasser Empire, had now arrived at his branch in Degara City, and was already waiting for him inside, as if he was preparing to meet him, this news made him have a headache in an instant, which was definitely the worst news.

Needless to say, Stanting here can almost guess the purpose of Li Huailin's trip, as a particularly strong emerging competitor now, the relationship chain of the De'an Chamber of Commerce here is naturally clear to Stantin, and the relationship between other ministers is okay, but it is this Duke of Aquitaine, and Stantin here has a headache. The Clevin Chamber of Commerce is a long-established chamber of commerce, and all families in the empire can basically speak, but only Li Huailin, a new powerful person who suddenly jumped out, has no family at all, and he naturally has nothing to do with it, but this guy is the backer of the De'an Chamber of Commerce, which makes Stantin really have nothing to do with the De'an Chamber of Commerce.

What Stanting hopes now is to rely on his own power here to squeeze out the De'an Chamber of Commerce by means of commercial competition, but it is obvious that the other party did not give him this opportunity, and now he has come to the door with his own backer. The most troublesome thing is that even if Stantin knows that the other party has bad intentions, he still has to meet him, because the other party is the Duke of Aquitaine, which is not justified at all.

There was no way, and Stantin here quickly teleported from Murjek City to Degara City. Then I came to the branch here, as soon as I entered the door, Stantin here saw a few familiar people, the president of the De'an Chamber of Commerce, Pollit, he naturally knew him, the two had met many times, and Akola was also known to him. I have met a lot recently, and the other one is Li Huailin, although he has not talked to him, but he has seen it many times from afar.

"In the Lower Crevan Chamber of Commerce President Stantin. Goldenbamm, meet the Duke. Stantin here hurriedly saluted, although he also spent money to donate a lord, but in front of the real nobles, he still did not dare to claim to be a nobleman, which would cause the nobles to be disgusted.

After speaking, he didn't wait for Li Huailin to reply. Stantin, who was here, yelled at Mohoff, the branch leader next to him, "What's the matter, why don't you invite Lord Duke to the VIP room." ”

This shout seems to be quite polite, in fact, it is also secretly indicating that this is his own chamber of commerce, showing the identity of the master a little, but Li Huailin completely ignored the other party's careful thoughts, and smiled directly and said: "President Stantin, right?" ”

"Yes, Lord Duke, may I ask if I have come this time. Something is told. Stantin, who was here, immediately bowed his head and said.

"It's said that you're competing with my Chamber of Commerce, and I don't like to fight the most. So let's mediate and see if we can deal with this matter directly. Li Huailin said.

"Mediation?" Stantin here asked.

"Yes, President Stantin, you see that when I see you, I think we are quite compatible, or else, you can just join us. In this way, everyone is a family, and there is no need to compete at all, so that I will not let the people of the De'an Chamber of Commerce come in in the southern part of the empire, and continue to be all responsible for your Crevan Chamber of Commerce, and the result is not all happy? Li Huailin said with a smile.

And so it was...... Although it is said that Stantin here has been prepared for a long time. But I didn't expect Li Huailin here to say so directly and straightforwardly, and he was really the same strong figure as the rumors, after a little hesitation, Stantin here said tentatively: "This ...... Although the Duke's mention is very good, our side has always been taken care of by the Count of Chaumel...... It's a bit unreasonable to just leave the team to join the Duke now......"

"Count Qiumel?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned, "Who is it?" ”

"Lord Duke." Pollitt here hurriedly reminded in Li Huailin's ear, "Count Qiumel is referring to Heydrich, the chief minister of urban construction. Qiumel, that is, the biggest backer of the Crevan Chamber of Commerce. ”

"The Chief of the Ministry of Urban Construction?" Li Huailin thought about it for a while, it is estimated that this guy Li Huailin should have met in the palace hall, but he really couldn't remember which minister it was, so he thought about it and said, "Count Qiumel, that is, if this guy suddenly disappears tomorrow, you agree to join us, right?" ”

"Suddenly disappear tomorrow?" Not only Stantin, but even Pollitt next to him was stunned, and after thinking about what Li Huailin meant, the sweat of everyone present immediately stayed, and this threat was too much of a red fruit.

It was only at this time that Stanting figured out how powerful Li Huailin was, his backer was already a high-ranking official like the director of the Ministry of Urban Construction, and he was also one of the top cadres in China.

Although it sounds a bit like a lie, but Stanting here doesn't dare to listen to it as a lie, after all, there is a precedent before, and the two dukes have disappeared directly to Li Huailin, the reason is that Li Huailin here fell in love with someone's wife, and then killed all these two dukes, and His Royal Highness the King really didn't punish him, thinking about it this way, Standin here felt that it was better not to struggle, and after a while, the Earl of Qiumel here really got in. No matter how you say that Count Humel is still good to himself, and if you explain the situation to him, it is estimated that he will not be hard steel with Duke Aquitaine.

Thinking of this, Stantin here hurriedly said: "Wait, Lord Duke, I figured it out, I'll join, I'll join." ”

"Oh? So hassle-free? Li Huailin said with a little surprise, "Have you really thought about it?" ”

"Yes, Lord Duke, I have decided to join you. It's true. Stantin here said immediately.

"Oh, that's fine, welcome, welcome." Li Huailin here nodded, to be honest, he really thought about killing Count Qiumel directly here, but he didn't expect Stantin here to suddenly figure it out, which saved a lot of time. It can be regarded as the luck of Count Qiumel here, "It's best if President Standin can figure it out, in this case, as said before, the south of the empire will be handed over to your Clevin Chamber of Commerce to be in charge, Pollit, your De'an Chamber of Commerce should not develop here, all the things here will be handed over to President Standin and them, you can go directly to other places to continue to develop." ”

"Yes. Lord Duke. Pollit here also said without hesitation, although it is said that the De'an Chamber of Commerce has also lost a lot in this way, after all, it has spent a lot of money to lay a foundation here, and now almost all of it is given to the Clevin Chamber of Commerce, but for the sake of the Duke's plan, Pollit still agreed without saying a word.

"Multi-...... Thank you, Lord Duke. "Stantin here doesn't know whether to cry or laugh, he should have earned it according to the benefits, but in fact, he also lost the entire Chamber of Commerce to the other party. Because Li Huailin's assault here was too sudden, Stantin still hasn't figured out whether he is making or losing money now.

"That's right. President Stantin, since you are already your own people, I will ask you something. Of course, Li Huailin is not mainly here to deal with the problem of the Chamber of Commerce or anything, but to solve it by the way, it is mainly a problem of recruitment.

"Your Excellency, Duke, please." Stantin here said immediately.

"I heard that the Crevan Chamber of Commerce has been in the slave trade business recently...... Li Huailin asked.

"Yes, Lord Duke." Stantin here also immediately admitted that there was nothing to hide. After all, basically the larger chambers of commerce are doing this business, after all, they make a lot of money, and it is not illegal, and the empire also recognizes this business.

"Have you captured any slaves around here lately?" Li Huailin immediately asked.

"Near here?" Stantin here was stunned directly, and then immediately said. "Of course not, Lord Duke, it is illegal to capture slaves in the empire, and it is naturally impossible for us to do it, please rest assured Lord Duke, our Crevin Chamber of Commerce is also a regular and old Chamber of Commerce, all business is legal, and there is no business that violates the law."

"Really?" Li Huailin nodded slightly, "But I've heard that you guys seem to have done something you shouldn't have done recently." ”

"What?" Statin looked a little strange, "It's impossible, I don't know what the Duke has heard, please speak up and let me defend myself." ”

"About a month ago, there was a female knight with about a dozen civilians from the town of Mariana to the city of Degara, but all of them disappeared on the way, and then someone saw your Clevin Chamber of Commerce's carriage enter the city, and the time is about the same, do you tell me what's going on?" Li Huailin asked.

"How can such a thing happen?" Stantin here was slightly stunned, this sounded really a little strange, and looked at the branch president Mokhev next to him, Stantin immediately said, "Mokhev, what the hell is going on?" Do you know about it? ”

"This ...... President, this ......" Mokhev here looked hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"What's wrong? Did you really do something you shouldn't have done? Stantin here suddenly said sternly, this matter is really not instructed by him, although the situation of the Crevan Chamber of Commerce is not very good now, and he has to face the strong competition of the De'an Chamber of Commerce, but Stantin, as a veteran businessman, still has at least moral integrity, he will not do this kind of illegal thing, looking at the appearance of Mokhoff here, Stantin thought that he had done something illegal without concealing himself, and immediately yelled angrily.

"No...... No, the president. Mokhev on this side immediately said, "Of course we didn't do those things, but...... The matter of the female knight and a few civilians that the Duke said just now, we really saw ......"

"Huh?" Stantin here was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Yes...... Snake King Marev ......," Mokhev here thought for a while and said.

"Snake King Marev?" Everyone was stunned, but Akola and Stantin here seemed to have heard of this name, and they sounded a little surprised, Li Huailin and Pollit here just hadn't heard of it at all, and they didn't know who this guy was.

"Yes, I was just in time to come back from a trip to catch up on the goods. On the way back, not far east of Degara, I met the female knight that the Duke had just mentioned, as well as a dozen civilians, who were fighting against the people of the Serpent King here...... Mokhev continued.

"Wait, wait......" Li Huailin hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute, what is going on with this snake king Marev and this snake king, tell me first." ”

"Lord Duke." Akola here took the initiative to say. "This Snake King Society is a very big organization near here, it can be said to be a relatively underground kind of organization, basically even if it is the kind of organization that does everything, of course, many shady things are also done."

"To put it simply...... Is it the underworld? Li Huailin thought for a while and said.

"What is the underworld?" A few people here asked together.

"Uh...... It's okay, I pretty much got it anyway. Li Huailin waved his hand, and then pointed to Mokhev here, "You continue." ”

"Our side was going to see the situation, but someone from the Snake King Society immediately came over to warn us not to meddle in our affairs. Of course, we still had the goods with us at that time, and if we were targeted, we probably wouldn't even be able to keep our own goods, so I didn't bother with it, of course, I still felt a little strange when I saw the female knight, after all, there weren't too many female knights, and they generally had a background, but we never heard anyone ask about it, so we never talked about it. Mokhov said.

That is to say. On the way here, the female knight was attacked by the Snake King Society, an underworld organization, and then suddenly disappeared. In this way, it has something to do with the Snake King Society...... Li Huailin said, "What is the background of this Snake King Society?" ”

"Lord Duke, we don't know much about this for the time being." Speaking about this, Stanting on this side seemed to hear the name of the Snake King Society, and Stanting here also had a little headache and said, "This Snake King Society is a very huge organization in the south of our empire. They are present in almost every city, not to mention, their abilities are also extremely powerful, as if they can speak anywhere, not only our Chamber of Commerce wants to give them face. THE PEOPLE HERE IN ZHENG MANSION ARE ALSO VERY FACE-SAVING, ALTHOUGH BASICALLY EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING, BUT IN FACT, THEY DON'T SEE ANY PEOPLE FROM ZHENG MANSION TO CHECK THEM. ”

"Not only that, but their background is also very mysterious." Akola next to him also said, "They already knew about it when our De'an Chamber of Commerce first came here to develop, and soon they took the initiative to find the door, and they also knew that our background was His Royal Highness the Duke, and then they still collected our money, so they didn't seem to worry about this problem at all." ”

"Yes, to be honest, we have been doing business here for so many years, and we have been dealing with this snake king for a long time, and we still don't know where the other party's backer is...... But there is no way not to cooperate with them, because there are so many things involved, and if we don't cooperate with them, it will be too difficult for us to do business here. Standin here also said.

"Oh? Sounds amazing. Li Huailin nodded, this is very obviously an underworld organization, according to the current situation, this female knight Lisa was probably taken by the underworld leader called the snake king Marev, and then directly found someone to arrest her, this is not good news for Li Huailin, after all, this Lisa is now the person who holds the secret that he is the leader of the undead clan, and then he was captured by the underworld boss, and it has been nearly a month since now, It is not ruled out that Lisa has already sued the snake king Marev about this matter.

In this way, things are a little complicated, in case this snake king knows about his own affairs, then according to the number of this guy's younger brothers, it is estimated that it is not possible if he wants to hide it, but if this guy is a little smarter, he may not publicize this matter casually, maybe he is ready to use this matter to blackmail himself, anyway, they are the underworld, this kind of thing must have been done.

Of course, if this is the case, it is naturally what Li Huailin wants to see the most, no matter what, Li Huailin always has to meet with this person called the snake king Malev, and then ask to see what the specific situation is, the current situation is a bit complicated, and Li Huailin can only take one step at a time.

"Understood, in that case, let's break through head-on." Li Huailin stretched and said.

"Huh? I think I've heard that before. Akola muttered next to her.

"President Stantin, I'll make an appointment with this guy called the Serpent King, and I'm going to see him now." Li Huailin said.

"Really?" Several people here said at the same time.

"Of course it's true." Li Huailin said, "Speed, I don't have time to waste." (To be continued......)
