Chapter 19: Trapped
An hour later, when Freya appeared in front of the Candela envoys, she had already changed into a long dress that fully showed off her noble temperament and perfect figure, and her face did not have the slightest playfulness in front of Xu Yi and Steele, but put on a perfect, just right smile.
Eyes swept over, and everyone in the Candela Empire's envoys hurriedly got up with a smile.
"Miss Freya, it's an honor to meet you. ”
The head of the envoy corps, Marquis Mufara, the deputy minister of foreign affairs of the Candela Empire, who was in charge of negotiating with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time, bowed slightly and saluted Freya, with an extremely bright smile on his face.
"The last time Miss Freya came to our Candela Empire, I didn't get a chance to meet you. Now it's the first time I've seen a real person, and I can't help but marvel at your beauty. Miss Freya, if you are willing to make more appearances in the magic illusion show, I don't think even Miss Rinoya will be as popular as you. ”
In order to protect Freya, and because Freya herself was unwilling, Xu Yi and Steele did not let Freya's real life appear in any newspaper or magic illusion show.
Many people on the Sainz Continent know that the eldest daughter of Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, is over twenty this year and is an extremely outstanding beauty, but there are very few who have really seen Freya's true appearance.
So in many newspapers, Freya, who only knows her name, has been named the most mysterious girl on the continent of Sainz.
Freya smiled slightly, "Thank you for the compliment." Marquis de Mupharah, I don't know why you want to see me by name, I haven't had any contact with you before, have I?"
"Huh?" Marquis Mufala was slightly stunned, then his face returned to normal, and he smiled: "Our visit this time is actually related to the operation of cooperating with your Chamber of Commerce last month to combat human trafficking within the empire. Miss Freya. I heard President Xu reveal that you were part of your escort last month, right?"
Freya was also stunned for a moment, and instantly understood.
The Candela Empire had no idea that she was involved in last month's operation!
No wonder she found it strange, her participation in the operation was completely secret, and she still maintained the illusion skin the whole time. didn't show his true face at all, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't be exposed.
Now listening to what Marquis Mufala said, she realized that she was betrayed by her father!
Freya snorted in her heart, but she still maintained a perfect smile on her face and nodded slightly.
"Yes, I participated in at my father's instructions, but I was only a bystander and didn't actually do anything. Father's meaning. I just wish I could familiarize myself with the Chamber's Escort so I can get in touch with them later. ”
Marquis Mufala laughed: "Miss Freya, as the heir of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is a matter of course for you to contact and even take charge of the Chamber of Commerce's escort team in advance, and it is not surprising that President Xu has this arrangement." ”
Freya couldn't help but frown slightly.
When Xu Yi was just born, she had already publicly stated to everyone that she was Xu Yi's only heir, and any other children were only eligible to inherit part of the physical property, but could not inherit anything else.
So it's clear to everyone. If nothing else, Freya will inherit Xu Yi's position in the future. Become the next president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
This is not only the opinion of everyone within the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but also by others outside of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, when other people face Freya, they will always treat her as the successor of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and they will be extremely respectful.
Freya wasn't particularly averse to this, but she didn't like it either.
Before she had made up her mind, she didn't want her fate to be decided.
Naturally, Marquis Mufala would not understand Freya's thoughts. In his opinion, being able to become the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is something that everyone dreams of.
The current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has almost mastered more than half of the magic industry on the entire Sainz continent, and the other half is also inseparable from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and will be greatly affected by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The importance of the magic industry to all the countries on the continent at the moment. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has almost controlled the fate of everyone on the entire continent.
As the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi's status on the Sainz Continent is no less than, or even surpasses, that of His Majesty the Emperors of the two empires.
If Freya inherits the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then even if she is not as good as Xu Yi's status, she will still become one of the top big names on this continent.
Therefore, although he is the deputy minister of foreign affairs of the Candela Empire and is also a big man in the Candela Empire, he still does not dare to slack off in front of Freya.
"I'm just watching from the sidelines, and it's too early to say anything in charge. Freya waved her hand casually, skipping the topic. "Let's get down to business, Marquis Mupharah, what do you say has something to do with last month's action?"
Marquis Mufala coughed lightly and explained, "Miss Freya, although last month's operation was a perfect success, with the help of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team, we successfully captured a group of evil human traffickers and rescued a large number of hostages, but in this operation, the performance of the Empire was not satisfactory. ”
"Oh?"
"You see, whether it is in terms of discovering enemies, entangling hostages, and the exchange of information in them, the special task force sent by the Imperial side is far inferior to your New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team, and the response is very slow. His Majesty the Emperor, when he read the report, was furious at this and demanded that we immediately come up with a proper solution. Thereupon...... We're here to ask for help. ”
"What help do you need?" Freya immediately retorted.
"The first is about the exchange of information. The empire hopes to further enhance cooperation with the Xinfei Magic Communication Chamber of Commerce, strengthen the deployment of the magic communication network within the empire, and realize the coverage of the magic communication network throughout the empire as soon as possible, so as to achieve real-time communication anywhere and at any time. ”
"You shouldn't come to our Chamber of Commerce for this, right?" Freya said. "We've been promoting the creation of a magical communication network, and we've been sparing no effort in doing so. The main question is whether the rest of you are willing to invest heavily. If you want to create a complete magical communication network as soon as possible, you need to be prepared with enough money to invest. ”
"The Empire has been investing heavily in this for a long time, but it's just ...... There has always been a concern,...... Marquis de Mufala hesitated.
"Concerns?" Freya didn't nod her head, just looked at Count Mufara with a questioning look.
Count Mufala coughed lightly, and after a moment of silence, he continued: "The empire attaches great importance to the construction of the magic communication network, but the magic communication network led by your council was built before, and all the relevant technical and operational materials are in the hands of your council, and the empire can only participate in the operation and management, but cannot interfere in any way in the magic communication network...... Oh no, there's no way to get into details, it's not good for keeping the entire magical communication network up and running. If something goes wrong, you have to ask for technical help from your club, which is really inconvenient......"
"So you'd like to get all the technical information, master the magic communication network yourself, lay it yourself, and kick us away?" Freya interrupted unceremoniously.
"No, no, no......" Marquis Mufara waved his hand. "Miss Freya, don't get me wrong. I mean, just hope to try not to always bother your techies. If we can solve some small problems ourselves, we will try to solve them ourselves, so that it will be good for us and for you, won't it? As for what to say, kick it away, where is it......
"So after all, you still want technical information about the magic communication network?"
"Huh...... What's this...... If you are willing to sell this part of the technical data, the Empire is willing to pay a price that satisfies you. After all, the Marquis of Mufala still said his purpose calmly.
"Satisfactory price?" Freya glanced up and down at the Marquis de Muphala, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "You must have met your father before, right?"
"President Xu said that he has left this matter to you, Miss Freya, and your opinion is his opinion. Marquis Mufara and the other members of the Candela Empire's legation all looked at Freya expectantly.
Xu Yi's slightly sly smile flashed in Freya's mind.
Well, my father is clearly digging a hole for me and creating a problem.
Freya closed her eyes and pondered.
Seeing her reaction, Marquis Mufala and the others showed a hint of surprise on their faces.
Prior to this, the Candela Empire had made the same request to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce several times, but each time it was categorically rejected by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
This time, they asked to see Xu Yi again because of this matter, but Xu Yi was unusual, although he did not give a clear answer, he asked them to talk to Freya directly.
In their eyes, this attitude can be regarded as a turning point.
And now that Miss Freya closed her eyes and looked seriously thoughtful, did that mean that she might agree to her request?
Everyone waited quietly for a while, and Freya slowly opened her eyes.
"Miss Freya, what are you thinking about?" asked Marquis Mufala hurriedly.
The corners of Freya's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a bright sunshine, but with a hint of a sly smile.
"Before discussing this, you should at least show your sincerity, right?"
Marquis Mufala and the others were stunned, and then they were overjoyed. (To be continued......)
