Imperial capital.

Style Chamber of Commerce, Style Club.

It's become Lance's favorite place to stay, and he loves to experience the miraculous path to success in the place where his dreams set sail.

"Father, something is wrong!" O'Neill ran in from outside the house in a panic, and saw Lance, who was drinking tea and chatting with Nicole, frowned before he breathed a sigh of relief, " Father, plus sixteen of the thirty-three shops in the Windy City sent urgent letters, just this morning, a large number of civilians gathered in front of the major shops, a large number of civilians attacked our shops like crazy, and some just staged demonstrations, even under the protection of the caravan guards, they still suffered a lot of losses, and the business was even more difficult to continue, and the heads of the shops were sending urgent letters asking how to deal with it. ”

Nicole asked urgently, "Did the other seventeen stores inquire about the situation?"

"After asking, nothing unusual happened in the other seventeen stores. ”

Lance was not shocked and pondered for a long time and then asked, "Where is the city where the store in question is located?"

O'Neill was stunned for a moment, then thought quickly and said, "All of them are first-tier cities south of the imperial capital, and there is no one in the north of the empire!!"

"Are you sure there are no problems with the northern cities of the Empire?" asked Nicole.

"Sure, something like this happened this morning, we have completely disregarded the consumption of magic crystals and sent magic letterheads to each store, and the other party replied in time, the stores in question are indeed concentrated in the southern part of the empire, father, this should be a malicious competition incident launched specifically against our amorous chamber of commerce, do you see if you follow the process of the imperial finance department to launch a counterattack against them!" O'Neill looked ruthless.

"Fight back, fight back against those troublesome civilians?" Lance reprimanded in a deep voice, "Don't panic as soon as something happens, O'Neill, you're nineteen years old, four years older than Master Cohen, but look at your anxious temperament, when will you really change it?!"

O'Neill froze, "Where can I compare with Young Master Cohen, father, don't mention this yet, think about what to do? Is there really no need to submit it to the Imperial Finance Department? The process will take a lot of time!"

"You also know that it takes a lot of time in the process?!" Lance slapped the table and stood up and said angrily, "What do you think our opponents are waiting for? They are just waiting for us to hand it to the Imperial Finance Department, so that people all over the world can see the incompetence and shallowness of our Customs Chamber of Commerce, and besides, you can be sure that these peers in the southern part of the empire have not taken care of the Finance Department earlier, and are waiting for us to hit the south wall?!"

O'Neill suddenly ran out of ideas, and walked around the room restlessly.

"O'Neill, don't be foolish, if you really don't have anything to do, just pay attention and wait for further news from the sixteen stores, and pass it back to your father at any time," Nicole said with a slight frown.

O'Neill still listened to this sister very much, and after a hum sound, he went back in a hurry.

"Look, look, I don't know when I'll really grow up!" Lance said angrily to Nicole, "Nineteen-year-old people still look like children, if it weren't for Young Master Cohen to give me this old face, where would the amorous Chamber of Commerce have his place?!"

"Don't worry about father, don't mention O'Neill if you compare with Young Master Cohen, how many of your peers in the entire empire can be compared, give him more time, I believe he will grow," Nicole carefully enlightened Daddy, " Let's think about this matter at the moment, half of the stores in the empire have the same problem at the same time, if the other party is not prepared to make a move, it is impossible, and it is impossible to set off a frenzy of resistance in sixteen first-tier cities at the same time, and it is impossible for a single peer to do a big move, probably a big move by the clothing industry chamber of commerce in the south of the empire!"

Lance exhaled a long breath and said, "Yes, Young Master Cohen is now participating in the first-year training class, probably they think that we can't use the noble connections of the Mutes family for the time being, it is a good time to do something, making trouble is just a façade and a pre-emptive means, if it is not handled well, it will be a situation of division between the north and the south, and it will definitely be a huge blow to the newly emerging amorous chamber of commerce." ”

"Father, I can go to the Mutes family's chamber of commerce for help, with the network of Young Master Cohen's grandfather, maybe it can give us some help, as well as the family relationships behind the classmates I met in the academy, as well as the family relationships behind some of Young Master Cohen's own friends, plus the aristocratic friends who have been in contact and made friends at this stage of the Chamber of Commerce, it may not be impossible to deal a blow to these southern colleagues, at least it is still possible to keep the shops in some cities in the south," Nicole replied after pondering for a moment.

"Alas, this is a way to do it, but in this way, there will be many shops in the city that can't be saved, and when Young Master Cohen comes back from the Doomsday Mountains, how can I explain it," Lance rubbed his eyebrows with some distress, Don't talk about this, Nicole, you go back to the academy first to contact some of your friends and some friends of Young Master Cohen, and ask them to help, even if it is just to let their family make a voice of support, it will be a great help, I will personally go to the Mutes family Chamber of Commerce to meet Harris, and ask him to inform the Mutes family master in the fastest way, this is the biggest difficulty encountered by the Chamber of Commerce since its establishment, and we will get through this level together anyway!"

"Yes, Father!"

――――――――――――――――――――

Imperial capital, Mutes House Chamber of Commerce.

"Lord Lance, what kind of wind is blowing you here, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Harris greeted with a spring breeze, in fact, Lance has come here more than once, although everyone in the Mutes family knows that Young Master Cohen and the Morin family have cooperated, but every time he talks to the Mutes family, it is the head of the Morin family, Lance himself, who still makes all the Mutes family feel honored.

"Harris, it's been a long time, this time I've asked you to send a message to the head of the Mutes family, how about it, let's find a place to talk?" Lance greeted calmly.

Harris was slightly stunned and then smiled knowingly, "Then come to my study, to be honest, my old Harris really can't read a few books, but this study still has to be there, and it will have face to take it out, you invite first!"

Lance gave in a little and then went first.

When he arrived at the study, Harris calmly closed the door, then quickly opened several secret magic arrays, turned around and asked, "Lord Lance, is there something urgent going on?"

"I'll tell you the truth, it's the customs chamber that has made some trouble!"
