The night of the imperial capital. It is a paradise for the aristocracy, and the dream bar is the place with the most rich people in heaven.

Bailey Reeves pushed open the door of a luxurious box and strode inside.

"I'm so sorry," said Bailey, with a smile on his face, "I'm late!"

Two people sat in the box, one of them a sturdy young man dressed in white, while the other dressed in a costume made of black spotted leopard fur.

Seeing Bailey, who walked in with a smile on his face although he said sorry, the sturdy young man frowned, and then returned to his original state.

Bailey waved his hand, followed by the two young men in mage robes behind him, bowed slightly, and immediately exited the room, and closed the door casually.

When there were only three people left in the room, Beret pulled out a chair, sat down on the table, and then reached for the flask containing the finest Bordeaux, and poured half a glass of bright red Bordeaux wine into the empty crystal glass in front of him. Then, Bailey put down the flask, pinched the clear crystal cup with two fingers, and shook it gently. The bright red Bordeaux wine sways in a transparent crystal glass, reflecting a dazzling brilliance.

Although he knew that the son of the Imperial Governor in front of him, Richard Reeves, was only trying to gain a little initiative in the negotiations, the young man dressed in a suit made of black spotted leopard fur still couldn't help but say, "Mr. Bailey, did you ask us to show off your wine tasting skills?"

Bai Lei smiled at the two young men in front of him, showing his white teeth, and he said unhurriedly: "Don't be so panicked, why don't we taste the food here first! ”

The sturdy young man in a white suit stood up and said in a sonorous voice: "Thank you for your 'hospitality', I think I prefer the barbecue from my hometown." ”

After saying these words, the young man in white walked to the door in a few steps, opened the door, and strode out.

"Letoz!" the young man in the black spotted leopard fur called out the name of his companion, then he turned his head to look deeply at Bailey, and said in a pun, "Ivan, have ever eaten the worst barbecue, and drank the most mellow wine." But in our hearts, no matter how unpalatable the barbecue in our hometown is, it is our own, and no matter how delicious the wine in the imperial capital is, it is someone else's. ”

After speaking, Ivan also walked out of the room in a few steps.

Bailey still had a smile on his face, but his eyes showed a hint of murderous energy, Bailey, who had lived in the imperial capital since he was a child, had never encountered a situation like tonight because his father was the Minister of State of the Empire, and he slammed the crystal cup in his hand to the ground.

With the sound of crystal cups shattering, a bright red liquid splashed on the floor, staining the carpet spun red from linen.

"Bailey, are you angry again?" a woman's voice rang out from outside the door.

Bai Lei said without looking back: "Mother, this group of guys from the countryside is really too shameless for me! Mother, you will talk to your chamber of commerce tomorrow, from now on, the price of daily necessities in the Southern Silent Forest will be raised three times, I don't believe that this group of countrymen will not cry and beg me!"

Bailey's mother, Mary Shelles, shook her head and said, "Son, this is not a good idea. ”

Bai Lei turned his head sharply and said to his mother, "Why? You don't say that anything that cannot be controlled in your hands cannot be trusted, and you must be prepared to deal with him in advance!"

Shelles shook her head and said, "Bailey, I did say something like that, but that was when I was in control of the big picture. Your official suppression of the seventeen tribes of the Southern Silent Forest now will only make things even more out of control, you know, because of your father, my Chamber of Commerce can monopolize the trade in several regions of the South. If you don't have a valid reason and increase the price of daily necessities so drastically, it will only allow other chambers of commerce to take advantage of it. The huge profit between the cost and the selling price, even the order of the Imperial Chancellor, cannot stop those mercenary merchants!"

Bailey said unhappily: "Mother, am I going to forget it like this?"

Shelles comforted Bailey and said, "Son, of course you can't just leave it at that, but your methods are too drastic, and it is easy to cause others to resist. For this kind of hunter who wanders in the forest, the majesty of the empire is not as good as a cart of white sea salt. ”

Bailey said, "What then?"

Shelles said: "We are not yet at the point where we have control over the whole situation in the Empire, we can only say that we have a lot of influence. So, my child, what you have to do now is to keep making allies, not to suppress them. This area of the Southern Silent Forest doesn't have much strength, since you haven't reached an agreement with them, forget it. But ......"

Shellas's tone changed, and she said sternly to Bailey: "You must not bring personal feelings into our affairs again, otherwise don't say that I will no longer protect you." ”

Bailey said unconvinced: "Mother, I don't understand, why I pursue Farah, you and my father don't agree very much, and even my father is a little opposed. Faraz's father is the Imperial Minister of Finance, and if the two of us marry, then in the Empire, we will soon be in control of the big picture, right?"

Shelles said, "That's why." Son, you have disappointed me and your father so much. ”

"I just can't figure it out!"

Shelles said, "I've always wanted you to figure it out for yourself, but it seems like I'm doomed to disappointment." Do you think that little plan of yours is very useful? Do you think that His Majesty the Emperor will sit idly by and ignore the marriage of two powerful ministers? The Emperor is not very old now, but it can be clearly seen that he is not as gentle as the previous Majesty, and he has been in power for a short time now, so many things are decided by a few ministers, but he is more skillful in maintaining the balance, allowing the three powerful ministers to contain each other. ”

Shellace pulled out a chair, and Bailey hurriedly walked over and sat down for her mother. Shelles nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Once you marry Faraz, the current balance of the empire will be completely broken, and at that time, I am afraid that you will soon face the suppression of His Majesty the Emperor. With our current strength, there is no way to fight against it!"

"But I don't understand," said Bailey, "why His Majesty's most trusted head of the Royal Knights was able to marry Faraz's sister?
