The Industrial Revolution, marked by the birth of aerial technology, not only changed the mode of warfare between countries, but also brought about great changes in the form of commercial trade. Thanks to the convenience of airships, merchants can travel around the world more easily than ever before. Traders with the blood of adventurers and merchants in their airships bring back precious goods from far-flung lands that were unimaginable in the past, and earn a fortune that was unimaginable in the past.

Of course, the sky is dangerous. High above the island is a kingdom ruled by dragons, a demonic realm that must not be approached by any flying machine. Although the airship cannot rise to that height, even at a low altitude close to the ground, it is possible to encounter high-level monsters falling from the sky at any time, as well as air thieves who are far more active than monsters. In addition, there are torrential rains and hurricanes, which often rage at low altitudes.

For traders who simply rely on an airship to cross the skies, either of these situations is doomed.

The lucky ones who are favored by the sky are only a few of the few, and for the vast majority of losers, they generally have only three fates: either they become the bait of the monsters, or they become the prey of the air thieves, and in the most case, they are torn apart by the storm and dissipate in the airspace where they don't even know their names.

Despite the dangers of the skies, there has never been a shortage of successful examples among traders, and they continue to inspire more brave men to challenge the skies.

In times like these, it can be said that almost every successful chamber of commerce has a legendary family history behind it, and among these fierce traders, the Greine Chamber of Commerce is quite a special exception.

Like most chambers of commerce, the Greine Chamber of Commerce is a family heirloom of the Greine family, but the difference is that the Greine family does not have any legendary adventure history, and its family members do not have the temperament of adventurers. Compared to most of their peers, the Greine family is more of a businessman in the traditional sense. The Greine Chamber of Commerce is mainly engaged in the trade of specialty products between the kingdom of La Velis and the Great 6 in the North, which is a relatively low-risk, but at the same time low-profit trade route, which is difficult for traders who seek to make a fortune.

The Greine family chose this stable and low-return trade route, and it took several generations to develop the Greine Chamber of Commerce to its current size with a steady, diligent and classical style. It is also because of this that although the Greine Chamber of Commerce is also one of the top ten large chambers of commerce in the kingdom, it has always been regarded as a cowardly and incompetent person in the eyes of other peers.

Hagen, the current president of the Greine Chamber of Commerce, was distressed by the lack of voice of the Greine Chamber of Commerce at every joint meeting, and he tried to find a way to change the situation.

Hagen had two sons, the eldest son's name was Ivan and the second son's name was Erie, and he sent his eldest son Ivan to the Air Force School in the 6th year of the Northern University, while leaving the second son Erie by his side to learn to inherit the family business. Hagen's calculation is that if Ivan can become a glorious air rider again, then the Greine family will be able to shine on the lintel.

Judging from the letters sent back by Ivan regularly, the eldest son of the Graynes family is not happy in the air force of the North 6, and Hagen's wish for Jackie Chan may not be fulfilled far away. Still, Hagen was not much frustrated, and he exclaimed that perhaps the Greine family was born to do business, and in this regard, the second son, Erie, provided the strongest evidence of his faith. Erie has been learning to run the family business since he was twelve years old, and after more than a decade of careful training by his father, he is now so young that Hagen has to listen to his son's advice on many matters related to the Chamber of Commerce.

Now, the affairs of the Greine Chamber of Commerce are basically handled by Erie, while Hagen is more like an honorary president. Although this kind of situation of a strong son and a weak father may cause all kinds of troublesome problems in other family dialects, because Hagen is not the kind of person with great ambition in personality, he enjoys the growth of his son. Hagen has recently been thinking about finding a time to officially hand over the Chamber of Commerce to Yili, and then take a trip to the Northern Big 6 to see how Ivan is doing.

It's just that something unexpected, and the serious consequences caused by this incident, made him have to temporarily cancel the idea of retirement.

Located in the central block of Second Avenue in Lingeyle City, the Greine Chamber of Commerce is a three-story brick building. Although it is not so imposing compared to the other guild halls that often have four or five floors around, the mere fact that it can have a place in the central district where every inch of land is at a premium is enough to prove the extraordinary strength of the Greine Chamber of Commerce.

The Greine Chamber of Commerce has three floors from bottom to top, with warehouses for goods and parking for horse-drawn carriages on the ground floor. The Greine Chamber of Commerce's parking lot was large enough to accommodate ten carriages at a time, but it was now overcrowded with more than double the standard number of carriages. More than 20 carriages crowded into the narrow parking lot, and the neighing of horses mixed with the angry shouts of people, and the chaotic scene stunned passers-by.

Through the window of the president's room on the third floor, Hagen could clearly see the chaotic scene of the parking lot below, and he struggled to make out the Chamber of Commerce logo on the carriage. When he saw that there were more than twenty chambers of commerce on Second Avenue that were worthy of the name, and all of them had gathered to the Greine Chamber of Commerce, even if he was an old man, he couldn't help but turn pale with fright.

"How...... What to do, what to do...... Why did things come to this......?"

Hagen was pale, sat down for a while, stood up again, ran to the window and peeked down, and then circled around the room, showing a panicked appearance of six gods and no master.

"Dad, you don't have to be so flustered...... it was the young man in white who sat on the sand next to him. Looking at his father's flustered appearance, the second son of the Grayn family showed a rather apologetic expression. "Don't worry, in the current situation, they are only complaining at most, and they don't dare to do anything out of the ordinary. ”

"Words...... Having said that, more than two dozen chamber presidents came over at the same time...... Lai Xingshi asked the guilt, this kind of thing has never happened before......" Hagen nervously clasped his hands together, but he still couldn't calm down. "I said, Erie, how could you do such a thing? Forget about the Greine Chamber of Commerce alone, you actually implicate all the chambers of commerce on Second Avenue, this ...... That's too bold, isn't it?"

"No, that's not me, it's not me who made the decision......" Remembering the scene, Yili couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Moreover, that Baixiang master is also my savior, so I can't turn a blind eye. ”

"A lifesaver...... Then there is no way, after all, our family's motto is 'kindness will be repaid'......" Hagen exhaled helplessly, but then panicked again. "But what now? Those people are waiting down there, and if they're not careful, the Graynese Chamber of Commerce will ...... It's going to be a big problem, right?"

"Well, let's go down and hear their complaints, but ......" Erie scratched her face and rose from the sand, but could not help but look at her father worriedly. "Dad, are you okay? If you can't handle it, you can stay here?"

"Hmm......" Hagen hesitated seriously for a few seconds for his son's construction, and finally puffed up his chest and said, "No, I want to go down." Don't underestimate your dad, no matter how you say it, your dad has been fighting in the mall for decades, and he has much more experience in dealing with this kind of scene than you, so ...... Well, I'll be there for you, so you're free to swing it. ”

From Hagen's words, Yan Zòng's lack of confidence was revealed, and although Yili was aware of this, he couldn't say anything more, he smiled wryly and pushed open the door of the president's room, greeting his father with a respectful attitude.

"Well, let's go down, Daddy. ”

........................

The second floor of the Greine Chamber of Commerce consists of two parts: the staff room and the conference room, of which the conference room is not only used as a place for the Chamber of Commerce's deliberations, but also serves as a welcome room for guests. Because the conference room is equivalent to the face of the Greine Chamber of Commerce, the presidents of the past generations have made great efforts to decorate it. The result of spending a lot of money and time makes this room not glorious, if not magnificent, and one of the few parts of the Greine Chamber of Commerce that can be flaunted.

Now, its function as a pre-function room is facing its greatest challenge in history.

Reinhardt Central Chamber of Commerce, Bidian Effet Trading Union, Siegfried Trading Company, Midamaia Advance Company...... These business tycoons who are powerful in the kingdom's business world are now gathering in the conference room of the Greine Chamber of Commerce, all of them looking murderous.

The events of yesterday's birth in the heraldic courtyard, and the fact of the first confrontation between the Isère family and the Prime Minister's faction, were learned of by the discerning merchants that night. Of course, the news of Greine's son's involvement in and forgery of the love letter reached the ears of the merchants at the same time, and as the Duke had expected, it caused an uproar among the merchants—these cunning and scheming chamber chiefs were kicked out of their position by the son of Greine in the blink of an eye, and had to be placed in the position of being the enemy of the Prime Minister's faction.

After learning this shocking news, the chamber presidents without exception fell into a long period of consternation, and the shock was followed by anger. No merchant wants to be an enemy of the Prime Minister's faction, but neither the uncrowned royal family with deep roots nor the Prime Minister's faction is anything they can deal with. After repeatedly calculating all the loss of interests, these chamber presidents who were dragged into the water by Grayne's son unanimously made the choice to ask the Greine Chamber of Commerce for their guilt, so there was a spectacular scene of more than 20 carriages on the first floor of the hall crowded together.

The Chambermasters all came with anger, and perhaps their anger had a reason, but for the poor Greine Chamber of Commerce staff, it was a disaster. They didn't know what had happened, but when they saw these big names in the kingdom's business world rushing towards them with murderous violation, they were so frightened that they forgot even the most basic etiquette. As a result, more than 20 chamber presidents, including their entourage, a total of nearly 100 people were crowded in the narrow conference room, and there was not even a single person to deliver tea for half a day.

Naturally, the anger of the chamber of commerce presidents increased.

“...... Erie, true ...... It's really okay, right?"

Peeking through the crack in the door at the purgatory-like scene in the conference room, Hagen subconsciously swallowed his saliva and asked Erie.

"Well, I think it should be......" Erie scratched her head, looking like she lacked confidence, but she didn't look flustered.

If it had been a week ago, no matter how good this merchant's son was, he would have been shaken. However, since the acquaintance with Qilin, Yili has been frightened by many things, especially the thrilling experience of breaking into the heraldic courtyard last night, although it cannot be said to be a blessing in disguise, but it has indeed raised the courage of this merchant's son to another level - although the more than 20 chamber presidents in front of him are menacing, can they be more powerful than the chief of the gendarmerie who holds the sword of law? What's more, the location is still in his own guild hall.

Under Hagen's nervous gaze, Erie gently pushed open the door to the conference room.

As the door was pushed open, a stream of hot and sweaty air rushed towards the two of them in a tangible way, as if the hostility brewing in the room was manifested in reality. Hagen's face turned pale for a moment, and Erie took a step back and slapped his hand in front of him as if he couldn't stand it.

Hearing the movement at the door, the chamber of commerce presidents who were originally staring at each other turned their heads to look at the two of them, and nearly a hundred eyes instantly converged on Grayne's father and son. The anger that originally came from Xingshi's questioning was superimposed on the stuffiness that came out of this small conference room, and the eyes of the chamber of commerce leaders turned red as if they were bloodshot, and they stared at the two of them murderously.

If the gaze can also hurt people, then Ely and Hagen are probably already cut into minced meat.

"Hmm......" Yili scratched his face in confusion. Although the chamber leaders hadn't spoken yet, looking at the sinister expressions on their faces, even the most stupid people should know what they meant.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be calm. After a moment of annoyance, Yi opened with the most mundane words.

"I already know what you are here for. In fact, I have a few words to explain to you about yesterday's events......"

At that moment, a "plop" sounded, interrupting Yili's prepared draft, and he looked at his side with a gaze that could not hide his surprise.

I saw that the head of the Greine Chamber of Commerce, who couldn't bear everyone's hostility, fell to the ground, bowed his head and apologized first.

"I'm sorry! I'm very sorry! This incident is the dog's unauthorized assertion and has caused trouble to the uncles, and I apologize here! This incident is because as a father, I am not strict in discipline, and all the responsibility is borne by me! I just ask you to raise your noble hands and forgive the dogs for their temporary misdeeds! The little one is willing to be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay the kindness of the uncles! And ......"

The chamber of commerce chiefs looked at the apologizing Greine Chamber of Commerce with stunned expressions, and even Yili couldn't help but look at his father with an unusually weak gaze.

"I said Daddy......" Erie's voice was more like moaning. "Didn't I say that if you can't cope with it, you'll stay on it......?
