Late at night, at the residence of Baron Mutter. [Ran^Text^Library] []

Mutter Kiel, one of the old nobles of the Duchy of Marta, was handsome and talented in his youth, and once led a horse for the king under his father's arrangement, and his demeanor and appearance were deeply appreciated by the king for his appearance, and he was greatly used for it.

After decades of ups and downs in the officialdom of the Imperial Palace, the sixty-five-year-old Mutter returned to his homeland with the Legion of Honor and the title of hereditary baron.

This old man, who is well versed in politics, officials and people, relies on his family power in Sisis and the extensive connections accumulated over the years, and gradually masters the underground world of Siss, he is iron-blooded and cruel in dealing with the enemy, and the power under his command is very terrifying, even the governor Alam Sheikh respects him for three points, and does not dare to provoke easily.

Mutter's words in Sisis are sometimes more effective than the governor, and this old man, who looks energetic and smiling all the time, is the head snake of the whole Sisis talk.

Politicians relied on him to control law and order and the current situation, and businessmen relied on him to control the market and the supply of goods.

Because of this, the old Mutter's mansion often held balls for Sicisian celebrities, merchants, politicians, and famous courtesans of all colors.

Baron Mutter's mansion is located on the eastern outskirts of Sisis and covers a huge area, covering four acres of roses surrounded by flowers.

In front of the entrance of the Mut Mansion, all kinds of carriages were parked in a long line, and the brightly dressed Sisian celebrities handed over hot gold leaf invitations with their heads held high, and then walked through the long flowered vestibule and into the ball hall under the guidance of respectful attendants.

Maria is wearing a goose-yellow low-necked dress today, and her already very full breasts are squeezed like two eggs with their shells peeled off, and a deep furrow in the middle, charming and sexy, enough to bury any man's ambitions.

She lifted the curtain of the carriage and stepped off the carriage slowly but gracefully, supported by the attendants outside the carriage.

Maria wore a pair of white lace-edged silk gloves on her hands, gently clutched a handkerchief with a charming fragrance in one hand, and handed an invitation to the waiter with the other.

Maria giggled, her eyes swept over him, a glance that almost didn't lift the waiter's soul out of his body.

He stared at Maria so blankly that he forgot to tell her name and let her in.

There were a lot of female guests at the banquet tonight, all of them were celebrities of Sicis, not to mention beauty, and countless men gathered around the woman they liked in the hall.

In the large hall, the voices of men talking and laughing, the sultry and crisp laughter of women, and the melodious sound of the band are mixed together.

But as soon as Maria appeared, a gentleman shouted in surprise: "Maria, are you here?"

Suddenly, the men around turned their heads in unison, regardless of the reaction of the female companions around them, and looked at the door, where the women had lost the object of showing off, and had to cast their eyes on Maria, jealous and resentful.

Maria is like a heroine who is surrounded by darkness when she appears, but there is a top light above her head, and the eyes of the whole world are focused on her.

In the Green Forest Bar of Sisis, although Maria is extremely charming, she always has a depraved air of wind and dust, but once she comes to this kind of high-class social place, she is like a different person, and there is an indescribable enchanting elegance in her gestures.

Under the eyes of all the people, all kinds of eyes, Maria's face did not change, her smile was reserved and full of bewitching atmosphere, she stood at the door, and she was not in a hurry to enter the door, but a pair of extremely beautiful eyes swept in the room, and there was already a gloomy ** charm permeating the hall.

This Sisis courtesan, the ace of the Kelsman family, seems to be silently proving to the world: this is her stage, as long as she appears, all the people in the world will become dim, only she is distinct, full, moving!

"Hahaha, Maria, the last time I saw you, I remember it was two years ago, right?" Old Mutter was wearing a crisp dark blue coat with a white shirt underneath, and a golden tulip on his chest, and his temperament was noble and elegant, and he stood in the middle of the hall with a wine glass, and said to her with a smile on his face.

A smile appeared on Maria's face, she moved lightly, walked gracefully to old Mutt, squatted slightly, performed a noble woman's salute, and then stretched out a soft and boneless hand to old Mutt.

Old Mutter took Maria's hand, kissed it lightly on the back of her hand, and then smiled at the guests and the musicians of the band who were watching them quietly: "What are you doing in a daze? Do you want to see me and Maria perform for you?"

There was a lot of laughter, and the men and women all turned their heads and started talking again.

Mutt gestured to the band for them to continue playing, turned his head, and smiled at Maria, "Why did you have time to enjoy it today? ”

Maria smiled slightly: "Come and congratulate you, honorable Baron Muter." ”

Mutt smiled, "What do I have to congratulate?"

Maria called out to a waiter beside her, picked up a glass of red wine from the wine tray he was holding, took a sip, and chuckled, "Is the Baron testing me?"

Mutter smiled silently.

Maria rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "During the time that Lord Alam Shei left, Sisis was in chaos like an ant's nest, everything was rising, the prices of grain, meat, wood, stones, and even medicinal herbs were soaring, and if this continued, what turmoil would happen to Sissis, maybe something!"

Mutt laughed, "Are you congratulating me, and why do I sound like you're accusing me?"

Maria covered her mouth and giggled: "You are so humorous! How dare I accuse you? There have always been people who doubted your position in Sisis and said all kinds of bad things about you behind your back. Now, isn't it a good opportunity for you to show off your skills, and you must know that the person who can decide the situation in the chaos can show his true strength! As soon as you take action to stabilize the situation of Siss, that vice-governor Thomas will understand who is the real master of Siss!"

Maria smiled and raised her glass to Mutter: "When the time comes, honorable Lord Mutter, you will be the uncrowned king of Siss!"

Mutt looked up and laughed, Maria's words really went to his heart.

The serpent who controls the Sissian underworld is well aware of the recent changes in the Sisian market, and Darius, a fat merchant, is in his hands.

The reason why Mutter did not intervene was that he was a little jealous of Tang Jie, a strong pirate who suddenly appeared, the so-called strong is afraid of tyranny, and the horizontal is afraid of death, which is the reason; second, he also deliberately wanted to disturb Sisis and embarrass Thomas, the deputy governor who has always been his enemy......

After all, in name, Lieutenant Governor Thomas is the steward here, and Thomas is a strong order, and what he hates most is a local tyrant like Mutter, who wants to oppose him with all his heart.

How cunning is Mutter?

He didn't play with Thomas at all in the early stage, and let Thomas toss up and down, while he watched from the sidelines.

It wasn't until Tang Jie's appearance completely disrupted the surging Sisis that Mutt made a move.

On the one hand, he let Darius go unchecked by his frenzied purchase of various supplies, and on the other hand, he desperately bought low-priced materials at the end of the goods channel he controlled, and then sold them at a high price to Darius, who was "hungry for food", and made the difference from it.

Thanks to him secretly pushing the boat, otherwise, with Darius's energy and influence in Sicis, it would be easier said than done to prepare so many supplies in such a short period of time?

Mutt laughed for a while, he raised his glass, touched it lightly with Maria, and said, "You're still so good at talking!"

Maria took a sip, then wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief held lightly in her palm, and said with a smile: "I have always wondered what kind of person is disturbing the market of Sisis like this? Why did he disturb the market of Sissia? Is he trying to take advantage of Lord Alamsey's absence to speculate and fish in troubled waters?"

Muth smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a few little fleas, and it can't make any waves!"

Maria smiled in her heart: Is the pirate who turned the tide of the war on her own also a little flea?

Although she didn't think so, the smile on her face remained the same: "Lord Mutt, if you want to stand up, you have to step up. I've heard that Lord Alamsey will be returning to Sisis soon, but don't make a wedding dress for anyone!"

Mutt smiled, but didn't say anything, he bowed politely to Maria: "Can I ask the pretty lady to do a dance?"

Maria smiled slightly, placed her hand in the palm of Mutter's hand, and the two of them danced to the music.

Although she danced, Maria's mind was spinning rapidly.

She had come to this dinner tonight to inquire about all kinds of news about Sises, especially about Darius's purchase of various supplies. Such an extremely rare move to prepare strategic materials has attracted the attention of the Kelsman family, who are eager to know where such a huge batch of strategic materials has been transported.

Again, the current situation of Sisis is too chaotic, and although Vice-Governor Thomas is upright, he is really not a material to do practical things, and he has no ability and strength to stabilize the situation in Sisis at all. For the Kelsman family, they want to see Sissis stable, and the more stable it is, the better it is for them, and the more unfavorable it is for Tang Jie.

Therefore, Maria is very eager to know the current attitude of Mutter towards the current situation of Sisis, and if this local snake is willing to intervene, then things will be much easier.

Mutter only needs to jam Darius's restocking end to get them stuck directly!

The chaos of the Sisis will cease immediately!

This old fox is really vigilant, and he has not been able to test his true attitude after several attempts just now.

Maria cursed in her heart, but her face kept smiling.

Time flies, and in the ball, Maria is undoubtedly the most sought after figure by men, she is smiling, long-sleeved, and dancing among the men, like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world, confusing all beings.

After the ball, Maria sat in her carriage, closed her eyes and quietly brushed through the various materials in hand, and gradually, she came to a conclusion that in the face of such a chaotic situation as Siss, the Kelsman family would no longer sit idly by, and the countess, who had been silently watching the situation of Siss, would soon make a move.

As things stand, the dark-haired pirate will face an unprecedentedly difficult choice: will he endure the first tentative blow of the Kelsman family before Alamshe's return, or will he endure the raging wrath of the Governor General after Alamshei's return?

The corners of Maria's mouth unconsciously showed a smile, and her fingers gently whispered on the window of the carriage: "Tang Jie, you mysterious man, how will you deal with this situation?
