Lelouch saw through what Isabella and Jefferson were thinking at a glance, in fact, Lelouch didn't intend to refuse directly, if possible, it would not be a bad thing to have one more way to make money, but due to the particularity of Ulduar City now, it is not possible to transport goods to the Free City in large quantities, after all, if people trace the Yanod Mountains backwards, then it is equivalent to exposing all of them. But if the quantity of a single commodity is not too much, Lu Lu Xiu also hopes that it may be possible to ask Yalin's opinion.

Now Lelouch just wanted to use a delaying tactic to temporarily delay the other party: "Of course, I hope that the two of you understand that as a businessman, my goal is naturally to make money, and no businessman is willing to give up the business opportunity in front of me and let it slip away in vain, but I have to spend some time contacting Miss Isabella, why don't you tell me the amount of medicinal materials you need first, I can only do my best." ”

Hearing that there was still hope, Isabella immediately nodded happily and said that no matter how many medicinal herbs Lu Xiu could bring in, the food club would buy them all, and if there were other precious medicinal materials in Lu Xiu's family that were unknown for the time being, Isabella hoped to send some samples over.

"Then I await your good news, Your Excellency Lelouch!" Before leaving, Isabella personally delivered Lelouch to the door.

"I can only do my best, hoping to have good news for you Miss Isabella. ”

Some of the guests who were also about to leave the table were a little surprised by Isabella and Jefferson's personal send-off, and many people looked at Lelouch and whispered, and everyone was speculating about what Miss Isabella and Lelouch had been talking about when they were alone for a while, and what could have allowed Miss Isabella and Mr. Jefferson to personally send the boy out.

Jefferson snapped his fingers and magically took out something, and said to Lelouch with appreciative eyes: "Your Excellency Lelouch, you are a real nobleman, knowledgeable, courageous, and even more detached temperament and demeanor, here is an invitation to the next banquet held by this club, please be sure to be able to attend! Of course, if possible, Your Excellency Lelouxiu, please be sure to invite Miss Buyani with you, I have always wanted to see the rumored Ling Mei with a face that is more beautiful than that of an elf." ”

Isabella's face changed slightly when she heard the invitation to the so-called 'next banquet', but then she smiled calmly: "I can whisper a little secret to you, Your Excellency Lelouch."

"Money, beautiful women, and rare treasures may be just ordinary things in your eyes, but Lord Lelouch, there is one thing that you can't buy with any amount of wealth. Isabella leaned her head into Lelouch's ear and whispered, "No matter how much money you have, no matter how much power you have, once you grow old and die, all your qi will come to naught." His Excellency Lelouch ┉┉ Do you want to have an endless life?"

Endless life?

Lelouch was stunned for a moment, and quickly thought about the meaning of Isabella's words, sure enough, this so-called 'food club' is by no means simple, and these merchants and nobles who came to this club to party probably also had another purpose.

"Stop Miss Isabella!"

After thinking about it quickly, Lelouch looked directly at Isabella and whispered, "I will come on time for the next banquet┉┉ When the time comes, I will wait until we are alone to bother Miss Ming." ”

Isabella smiled even more charmingly at Lelouch's interest and caution, and Jefferson also had a hearty smile that Lelouch would definitely find a way to get what the club wanted.

Alisa and Kenjiro had been waiting for a long time in the carriage, and when Lelouch sat behind the carriage with a faint smile, he calmly said to the coachman, "Go back to the Chamber of Commerce." ”

Lu Luxiu, who opened the soundproofing barrier along the way, roughly explained what happened just now, and Alisa frowned when she heard it, this food club is really weird, but what makes people feel helpless is that they don't have any news about each other. And when Lelouch said that Miss Isabella and several of the guards and waiters in the club were not human, Alyssa couldn't help but shudder.

"The other party is not human┉┉ So do we still make this deal with them?" asked Alyssa after a while, with some concern.

Lelouch smiled and said with a little sarcasm: "I'm not a human now, but I'm not doing business with the people in this city as usual. ”

Suddenly, Alisa secretly scolded herself for being dizzy, and now the top boss sitting opposite her is not a human being, and she still asks this kind of question, isn't this begging?

"Whether the deal with this club continues or not I need to contact Arin and my brother in Ulduar City, to be honest, I don't like to have too much to do with this kind of mysterious club, but if it is simply used as a channel for the sale of goods, it can be used as an additional funding channel for the operation of the Chamber of Commerce in the future. Lelouch said after looking at the night scene outside the window.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Luxiu said straightforwardly: "Rob~ try to gather information about this club, especially to find out what the purpose of their acquisition of these medicinal materials is. ”

"I'd rather have it easier for the shadows to swallow them up than to gather intelligence. 》

The Lord of the Shadows, who turned into black smoke and suddenly appeared in the carriage, and he preferred to kill people more than to gather intelligence and surveillance missions. After coming to the Free City, except for the poor little gangster, the spider blades in his hands have not been nourished by blood for a long time.

"LeBlanc's Black Rose power is not enough, and it is estimated that it will be very difficult to penetrate into this kind of organization┉┉ For the time being, I can only let you do some chores, but be careful. ”

"Hmph~ You overestimate those people too much, I have been watching them without noticing at all, compared to His Excellency Yalin, they are just some insignificant ants. The voice of the robbery was quite disdainful.

Lelouch nodded: "Caution is never a bad thing. ”

"I see, leave it to me!"

After saying that, as if mysterious when it appeared, his whole body turned into smoke and disappeared from the carriage again.

As he prepares to return to the food club to continue gathering information, a small meeting is being held in the secret dining room of the food club, attended by Isabella and Jefferson, as well as the mysterious manager of the food club.

"The situation is like this┉┉ So far, a qiē is quite smooth, and then I'm afraid we will have to wait for the response of our distinguished guests. Isabella summed up after a brief explanation of the situation.

"What kind of person do you think that distinguished guest is?"

Jefferson snapped his fingers lightly and said with appreciation: "Whether it is courage, courage, or bearing, he must be from a rich or noble background, at least I can be sure that he is not a member of the royal family of that country, or a descendant of that great family." In a word, he can never be an ordinary commoner. ”

The store manager nodded, Jefferson usually has a high-eyed personality in the club, and it is not easy for him to make this kind of evaluation The mysterious boy named Lelouch is really not simple. But if he was initially more concerned about whether Lelouch's identity and wealth could be used by the club, then now that he has obtained that unknown medicinal herb, his only concern is whether the supply of this medicinal herb can be guaranteed.

"It would be great if our guests could provide us with sufficient supplies, but I also want you to prepare for the worst, if Lelouch can't get these herbs from the forces behind him, then what to do next, I hope you had better make a plan. ”

Thinking about the best and the worst is what the 'store manager' asks for the two.

Jefferson said confidently: "Isabella and I have also considered this, if it really doesn't work, then just bypass Lelouch and find a way to trade directly from the forces behind him." Whatever the power is, if their purpose is to aspire to a piece of the free city, then they won't be at odds with money. ”

"Your Excellency, I would like to ask, is there any reason for Lelouch's identity investigation?" Isabella asked suddenly.

The 'store manager', who was always accompanied by a poker face, faced this question as if swallowing bitter water, and after a moment of silence, the store manager shook his head and said that there was still no news worth scrutinizing in the investigation. As long as Lelouch's identity is not clarified, there is a feeling that people are stuck in the throat, although many people have recently thought that this young man is just bluffing, but when they want to move him, they have to hesitate whether they will kick the iron plate. Now some other forces only dare to use peripheral forces to test the power of the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce, for Lu Xiu himself, no one dares to do it directly for the time being, everyone is waiting to see the situation, hoping that someone who is not afraid of death will try the poison first.

"Lelouch's identity is still under investigation, if there is definite news, it will be handed over to the two of you as soon as possible, so before there is no news now~ Jefferson, you must be careful if you want to contact the forces behind Lelouch, if the other party is just bluffing, it's okay, what I'm most afraid of is that Lelouch's forces behind him are a dragon and not a sheep. ”

Jefferson nodded, "Of course! ”

"By the way, Your Excellency the store manager, we have invited Lelouch to participate in the next 'ceremony'┉┉" Isabella suddenly added at this time.

The store manager was stunned for a moment, but then asked, "You invited him to the ceremony before you found out his identity!"

Isabella nodded slightly, "Your Excellency, we really don't know about his identity, but at least one thing is certain, he is just an ordinary human being, so I don't think there is anything to worry about with that." ”

After being silent for a long time, the store manager finally stopped questioning, and this attitude was a tacit acquiescence to Isabella and Jefferson's actions. R1152
