Chapter 99: Speculation
In a beautifully decorated room in St. Yorktown, the magic crystal decorations that can be seen everywhere can be exquisitely carved to decorate the whole room exquisitely, that is, Gu Feicang has seen so many exquisite buildings and luxurious decorations, if he comes here, he can't help but feel the beauty of this kind of architecture.
In the room, William changed out of a delicate aristocratic costume, put on a simple and generous home clothes, held a cup of black tea, took a sip gently, and then looked at Old John and said: "Uncle John, how is it, the mysterious man in the cloak who is by Francisco's side today is sure to be a fifth-level powerhouse?"
Hearing this, Old John suddenly nodded and said, "Yes, although I haven't fought with that person, but from the feeling of it, it should be a fifth-level powerhouse, but although that person is a fifth-level powerhouse, it gives me a very strange feeling." β
"What's strange?" William couldn't help but glance at Old John, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"I found that in that person's body, it is full of strong spiritual power, but in the same way, his physical body is also very strong, it doesn't seem to be weaker than me, strong spiritual power, it is clearly exclusive to magicians, but at the same time with strong spiritual power, but also has strong physical strength, this kind of strange person, I have seen it for the first time, but I finally estimated that if it really fights, I should still be able to defeat that person, but he must be a fifth-level powerhouse. Old John said in a deep voice.
"That's right. William's eyes flashed with a twinkle, and a playful smile tugged at the corners of his lips," It seems that this Baron Francisco is really much more mysterious than we imagined, obviously born in that small place in White Rock City, but he has a powerful escort team, a mysterious method for training griffins, and a fifth-level powerhouse for personal protection, even he himself has made rapid progress in a very short period of time, from a magic apprentice to a high-level magician today, looking at the world, he can also have his own place, behind him, what forces are supporting it?"
"I don't know, do you need me to investigate?" said Old John.
Hearing this, William waved his hand and said: "Don't be, although I don't know which force is behind him, anyway, it has nothing to do with me, all I want to do is to befriend him and make good money, and leave other things to other people to deal with, but it can be expected that this Baron Francisco will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future, since there is no need to be evil, why bother with things." β
"I see. Old John nodded.
"By the way, what about the others, are they still doing those little things as before?" asked William, taking a sip of tea, as if remembering something.
"Yes, the eldest young master and the third lady have always proposed that it is really a waste to put St. Yorktown in the hands of Baron Francisco, since now because of the war, St. Yorktown needs defense forces, anyone can become the mayor of St. Yorktown, instead of cooperating with others, it is better to obtain all the management rights of St. Yorktown by yourself, in order to really make a big profit, and I have already made a statement to the head of the family. β
"In addition, they also said that the reason why you cooperated with St. Yorktown is because behind St. Yorktown's support is that you are supporting it, in order to accumulate strength and compete with the Chamber of Commerce in the future, so that the owner of the family has to guard against it, and has lobbied many people in the Chamber of Commerce to oppose your decision. β
"Stupid!" William's face sank when he heard this, and he scolded in a low voice: "These two wastes, they know how to compete for power and profit every day, and they only look at the immediate interests, if the Chamber of Commerce is handed over to them, I am afraid that sooner or later they will be finished!"
"Ahem...... Cough...... Ahem..."
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master, are you okay?" Seeing this scene, Old John's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly whistled at random, only to see a milky white light flashing, and the Holy Spirit White Horse appeared in front of William, emitting a soft light on his body, scattered on William's body.
In the light, William's coughing gradually eased, and his face gradually became better-looking, but his face was still pale and fragile like a jade bottle.
"Second Young Master, your body can't move, you have to take care of yourself. Seeing William gradually improve, Old John breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but persuade.
"Why do I want to be angry, it's not those two unsuccessful guys, they actually want to swallow St. Yorktown, and I don't want to think about whether I have this appetite, okay, I know about this matter, you go and check it on me, don't let those two fools spoil my big business, St. Yorktown, now in the hands of Baron Francisco, is the most suitable. William waved his hand, his face stained with tiredness.
Seeing this, Old John nodded, "Yes, I'll go down and do it, you can rest first, you've been tired all day." With that, Old John silently exited the room, leaving William alone.
In the tavern, through a conversation with the bartender, Gu Feicang got the same news as William, indeed, the Kraken and the orcs joined forces to sneak attack the eastern part of the Cross Empire, and it also changed from the harassment at the beginning to a large-scale attack, it was still a blitzkrieg, and it was still a surprise situation, the coastline of the Parada Empire collapsed across the board, many ports were destroyed, a large number of materials were plundered by the Kraken, and the demand for weapons increased sharplyγ
Therefore, after discussing with Queen Catherine, Gu Feicang still planned to agree to William's suggestion and modify the share in exchange for supplies, as for the Quinn Chamber of Commerce wanting to take full control of the Chamber of Commerce in St. Yorktown, after discussing with Catherine, Catherine thought that this decision was still okay.
After all, the Quinn Chamber of Commerce is one of the five major chambers of commerce, once it becomes the official chamber of commerce of St. Yorktown, it will definitely fully support the development of St. Yorktown, which is only good and not bad for St. Yorktown at this stage, but the same, it can't just be handed over to the Quinn Chamber of Commerce, just like shops and real estate, shops can promote the value of real estate, and real estate can also promote the value of shops.
Nowadays, St. Yorktown needs the help of the Quinn Chamber of Commerce, but when St. Yorktown develops, the Quinn Chamber of Commerce's help to St. Yorktown will be limited, which will hinder the development of St. Yorktown, and at that time, the Quinn Chamber of Commerce will not be able to control it completely, so this point must be discussed in advance.
