31 The Supreme
"Daddy, you're excusing you! You kid, why don't you follow Daddy and apologize to everyone!" Hagen looked up and scolded Erie.
β...... I don't think this kind of thing is enough to just apologize, but ......" Erie scratched her head, her expression seriously annoyed. As the saying goes, a man has gold under his knees, don't you want to think about how much gold you have to lose by kneeling......? Well, it doesn't seem right to say that, but at least it's not so strict that you need to use Daddy's golden knees to do so......"
"You say...... Not strict?"
Yili's words seemed to have become the fuse, and the chamber of commerce chiefs, who had just watched the performance of the Graynes father and son, slapped the table and roared angrily.
Lao Tzu sends a tribute of 200,000 yuan to the prime minister every year, and you let these investments go down the drain with a piece of paper?
"That's it, it's not good to help anyone, but to help the prime minister's nemesis...... If the prime minister turns his anger on us, will you be responsible?"
"The most hateful thing is that only you, the Greine Chamber of Commerce, bought favors for the uncrowned royal family! Let you take all the benefits, but let us pay for the misfortunes, who will do this kind of bastard business!"
"If you don't give us a satisfactory explanation today, I promise that the Grayne Chamber of Commerce will be removed from Second Avenue tomorrow!"
The roars of the chamber presidents shook the windows and floor of the conference room, and the Greine father and son, who were the heads of the hostile intentions, suffered a terrifying noise of more than 120 decibels. Even Elie couldn't help but feel the urge to cover his ears, and Hagen, who was lying on the ground, was almost frightened - if it hadn't been for the sudden intruder of the Chamber of Commerce staff to interrupt the roar of the Chamber of Commerce Presidents, the Graynes and his son would have been deafened on the spot.
"Old ...... Young Master!No...... Oh no!"
The Greine Chamber of Commerce clerk who bumped in was as pale as if he had seen a ghost, and he stammered when he spoke.
"That'...... That...... That gentleman! that gentleman...... It's coming!"
β...... The gentleman?"
The intrusion of the staff distracted everyone. Taking advantage of the pause in the storm, Erie quickly took a few deep breaths to balance the pressure on his eardrums, and confirmed it to the staff in a soothing tone.
"Don't be in a hurry. Tell me who is here?"
"That's it...... It's the gentleman, the one that the old man has told me that I must not neglect at any time......"
The employee scrambled to explain, but Erie's gaze suddenly fixed behind him.
"You...... You're ......" Yili's mouth was wide open as if he was having trouble breathing, and his body trembled a little.
For this young Sven, there were few times when he had such a gaffe, but if he compared it to the others, then Yili's reaction was quite restrained. After all, from the moment "that gentleman" appeared behind the employees, Hagen who was lying on the ground, as well as the presidents of the chamber of commerce who slapped the table and scolded the street, and the more than 20 chamber presidents who were in the kingdom's business circles, trembled violently one by one like swings. And as "that gentleman" slowly walked into the conference room, the presidents of the chamber of commerce were like frogs that saw snakes, their faces were pale, trembling in place, not daring to make a sound, and the originally noisy conference room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing remained.
The people standing here are good people who have climbed the upper echelons of the pyramid, so they know something that ordinary people simply don't know.
They know that in their world there is a supreme and omnipotent being.
They know that this character has the power to turn his hands into clouds and rain, and even if he subverts one or two countries, it will be a simple matter for her.
They knew that if they could win her favor, a beggar would instantly become more noble than the emperor, and if he provoked her anger, the emperor would envy the beggar in an instant.
They also know that under no circumstances can they offend her, and that their will must be the highest priority under all circumstances.
Although she never appeared in front of mortals, but only conveyed her will to them through "the gentleman", such things were by no means common.
In fact, whenever "that gentleman" appears, it always brings a drastic change to their world, or a prominent family is suddenly buried, or some nobody becomes the pride of the sky. No one could guess what she was thinking, she just seemed to be churning around the world as she pleased. For now, her interest seems to be in Prime Minister Katos, which is why the Chamber of Commerce presidents are invariably close to the Prime Minister's faction.
Watching "that gentleman" come step by step, the chamber of commerce presidents couldn't help but tremble. Justifications like "framed by the sons of Grayne" did not work, and as a result, they went against her will. For her, it was just a snap of her fingers to destroy these rabble chambers of commerce, and they didn't even have the right to choose to resist.
The chamber presidents trembled, and Hagen was particularly shaking. In full view, "the gentleman" walked into the conference room and stopped in front of the Graynes.
"I'm sorry, because I heard that there was a lot of trouble here, so I came in without permission. β
A respectful tone and a modest demeanor, a meticulous black dress and a straight-combed white, as well as a handkerchief on the chest and brass monocles in the right eye. Regardless of attitude or appearance, the "gentleman" who was feared by the chamber of commerce was just an ordinary old butler who could be seen almost everywhere. Although it was the first time that Yili had seen the dignity of the legendary "that gentleman", he did not feel that he was such a great person when he looked at the kind old butler in front of him.
"That'...... That, the first meeting, welcomes you to the Greine Chamber of Commerce. β
Even Yili couldn't think of the next lines for a while after saying this.
"First meeting, Master Grace. The old butler bowed his head and introduced himself in a respectful tone. "Down there is Aragorn, who has come to deliver a message on the orders of his despised master. β
"Biography...... Words?" Erie blinked. "Well, is it for me?"
"Yes, I wonder if you would like to listen to the rumors of your despised master?"
"Good...... Okay, I do. Yili couldn't say much at this time, and replied nervously. "Excuse me, do you need to go upstairs?"
"No, I don't think so, because it's not something that needs to be kept secret, and it doesn't hurt for everyone to know. β
The old butler's gaze swept over the chamber leaders around him, and then he put his hand on his chest and said in a gentle tone.
"The contemptible master said, 'What you are doing is interesting, so let the mourning family see the end.'" β
β...... Huh?"
Unexpectedly, whether it was Yili who was summoned, or the presidents of the Chamber of Commerce who quietly strengthened their ears, everyone was stunned on the spot.
"What you're doing is interesting, so let the mourners see the end," the lord said. The "things you guys do" she was referring to, except for the incident of breaking into the heraldic courtyard with the Kirin yesterday, Yili couldn't think of anything else that could attract her attention. As for the "very interesting" comment, although the tone of her voice is not discernible from the mouth of the old housekeeper, at least there is no negative connotation in the content. In other words, his help to the Iseire family did not provoke the anger of the adult.
The head of the chamber of commerce, who originally had a heart in his throat, breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, and several chamber of commerce presidents, including Hagen, sat down on the ground on the spot.
"Yes...... Isn't it funny...... "Although Yili is not like his father, his whole body is also enveloped by a grand sense of detachment.
"Uh, that, what do you say...... Is it an honor for us to win the favor of that adult?" He replied with some panic.
"The contemptible master is looking forward to seeing more interesting things, and this is a gift from the contemptible master, I hope you will accept it. Aragorn took a long box from his bag and respectfully handed it over.
β...... Gifts?"
Erie's heart beat suddenly, and he heard that the things that the lord gave away had always been priceless. Looking at the black box in the old butler's hand, Yili's hand trembled, and he didn't dare to pick it up for a while.
"Don't you want to accept it? β
"I didn't ...... There is no such thing! I do!"
Seeing Aragorn frowning slightly, the startled Erie took the black box on the spot.
The black box was made of precious hardwood, about a foot long, and it felt heavy in his hand, and Yili couldn't help but feel a little confused. The others in the room craned their necks, trying to see what was inside.
"Whew......" Yili took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and put the black box away.
After seeing Erie accept the black box, Aragorn smiled lightly and said again: "Young Master Grayne, in fact, in addition to passing on the orders of the master, there is also a private matter in this visit to your meeting. β
β...... Private matter?" Erie's heart, which had just been put down, hung again. "What is your private matter......
"In fact, on the way to the Greine Chamber of Commerce, I first visited an old friend. Aragorn lifted his brass glasses, took a letter from his bosom, and handed it over, explaining: "He learned that he was coming to the Greine Chamber of Commerce, so he brought this invitation with him." Although it should be handed over directly to His Excellency, ......" The old butler glanced at Hagen, who was still sitting on the ground, and handed the letter to Erie. "I wonder if I can please accept it for you?"
"Yes...... Yes, I'm very sorry. Erie cautiously took the letter with both hands.
When he saw the signature on it, the merchant's son suddenly widened his eyes and couldn't help but cry out. "Yi ...... Is this an invitation ......?"
"Yes, it's the Duke of Isère's house. Aragorn nodded to the stunned Erie.
"However, the uncrowned royal family and ...... Why? Isn't it the Prime Minister?"
Although there was a sense of inversion to what Erie asked, there was no one present who didn't understand. The heads of the chamber of commerce looked at Aragorn with shocked and stunned expressions on the verge of vomiting blood, and under their gaze, the old butler just clapped his hands briskly, and then took his leave to Erie.
"The next thing has been done, and Young Master Greine seems to have a lot of things to deal with, so I won't bother anymore and leave first. β
"Uh, that, please...... Please walk slowly, the hospitality is not good, and I hope you will forgive me. β
Yili, who reacted, watched the old housekeeper leave with a respectful attitude.
When the old butler's back disappeared at the top of the stairs, Erie let out a long breath and looked back at the conference room.
Father's Hagen was still sitting on the ground, and a series of unbelievable things scared him so much that he couldn't seem to come back to his senses for a while. Yili sighed bitterly and moved his gaze to the chamber of commerce chiefs, who were about to say something to settle the scene, but then there was no need for this - they saw more than twenty chamber of commerce presidents, one by one, looking at him with fearful eyes.
"Well, this matter is over...... Erie smiled bitterly as he looked at the black box in his left hand and the invitation in his right hand. "But what's next......"
........................
Taking the events of his birth at the Graynes Chamber of Commerce as an opportunity, an invisible storm begins to brew on Second Avenue. At the same time, the executive office of the Prime Minister's Mansion on First Avenue was also enveloped by a gloomy depression.
β...... You say, the Chamber of Commerce has united to fall to the uncrowned royal family?"
Katos looked at his secretary with a gloomy expression.
"Yes. Tiana replied to her boss, her voice and expression as calm as ever. Although it is not yet a definite fact, the subordinates believe that this possibility cannot be ignored. β
β...... Is it a matter of heraldry?"
Or rather, the real reason for that pleading. Although it can be concluded that the petition was forged, it gave rise to the fact that the merchants, fearing that we would take our anger on the defeat of the prince Conrad, turned to the side of the uncrowned king...... We didn't expect this, and it was indeed our mistake. β
"Originally, I intended to weaken the uncrowned royal family, but was used by the other party...... It's a good job, Robett, that old fellow, isn't old yet......"
Although he was praising him, Katos's expression was rather gloomy.
"On this matter......" Tiana cautiously advised. "The subordinates believe that for those chambers of commerce that have been forced to fall to the uncrowned royal family, we can use gentle means to bring them back together. It may be difficult to restore the previous state, but it should have a certain effect on suppressing the influence of the uncrowned royal family. β
"No, you don't. Those guys are originally wall grasses that follow the wind, and whichever side is stronger, they will automatically fall to which side, and it has no impact on the overall situation at all. Katos asserted, then picked up a portrait on the table and looked at the young man in black on it. "It's this kid named Kirin, I thought he was just a brainless idiot, but from this incident, I underestimated him. And with that old fellow of Robett in the back, he will sooner or later threaten our arrangement...... Get rid of him, and show the grass on the wall by the way, the fate of disobeying me. β
However, according to his subordinates' investigations, he is currently residing in the palace of the Duke of IsΓ¨re. Tiana spoke to her boss. "This is the core of the Uncrowned Royal Family, and if we rashly attack it, I'm afraid it will cause unexpected trouble. β
"That's not a problem, he always comes out of the Duke's Palace. Katos gave instructions in a somber voice. "Send the Viper and let them swallow that kid for me. β
