Chapter 300: Return to Rothschild
In the western part of the Sky Sea of Clouds, on the side of the warm current less than 1,000 kilometers away from the most prosperous floating island, the Sky Arena, there is an extremely large floating island.
This floating island was once found with a vein rich in cyanite, which is why it is called Cemer Island.
Today, the cereal mine has long been excavated, but the floating island itself has not declined because of this, on the contrary, it still maintains its former prosperity. Not only that, but the pollution and mess caused by the excavation have also been cleaned up, and the island has been planted with green vegetation that can only be purchased at a very high price in the sea of clouds, supplemented by rockeries and flowing crystal springs.
Because this is the birthplace of the Rothschilds, the seat of the most low-key power in the sky and the sea of clouds, but with the most money.
Recently, however, this beautiful floating island lined with greenery has been filled with an unsettling feeling.
Because Miss Victoria Rothschild hadn't shown her face for months.
The last piece of information about Victoria was that she had arrived at the Monsoon Ship Regiment and had begun selling the expensive Refined Sperm Whale Spice.
Soon after, Victoria disappeared from people's sight, and no one knew where Lu Dao had gone, not even the high-level officials of the Chamber of Commerce could not be contacted for a while.
Although those high-level figures already knew that Victoria had a "Mr. Blade" from the 100th floor of the Sky Arena by his side, and this person was extremely tough, and he also had flying skills, and had already made a record of destroying a Tiger Shark-class airship alone.
But even so, the disappearance of this anomaly still causes unease.
At the same time, those who stood on the opposite side of Victoria took the opportunity to throw out a lot of rumors.
After all, Victoria's unilateral interruption of contact is indeed against the rules of the Chamber of Commerce.
And in the face of this criticism, the top management of the chamber of commerce has chosen to remain silent. The search for Victoria was also not very active. So, all of a sudden, the rumors about Victoria's complete loss of power and abandonment by the Chamber of Commerce spread silently, like an invisible layer of cold haze, shrouded in the vast Qingjing floating island.
Even Victoria's two brothers have secretly begun to act impatiently, wanting to interfere in the property of their genius sister.
All of a sudden, there was an undercurrent.
And at this time of turmoil, an inconspicuous Swordfish-class airship approached the dock of Qingjing Floating Island in such a low-key manner.
And when several guards stepped forward to make a routine question, they were shocked to find that the passengers on this airship were none other than Victoria Rothschild, who had been missing for a long time!
Victoria is back!
All of a sudden, the news spread wildly on Qingjing Island, as if it were a storm that had suddenly descended.
However, the storm did not dispel the clouds that had been hanging for many days, but only made the situation even more confusing.
Shortly after the airship disembarked, an order from the board of directors of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce had already arrived at the dock quickly.
"Miss Victoria, the Board of Trustees invites you to come to the council chamber for a moment. An old man with full white hair bowed deeply as he spoke, and then, unabashedly, glanced at Midi beside Victoria.
This white-haired old man looked exactly like the old butler of Lund, but his level was even more terrifying, with a full level of 62. This man was the chairman of the board of directors, who was the butler of Victoria's own father.
"Let's go, Midi. Victoria said, smiling and glancing at the dark-haired youth beside her.
Then, naturally, she grabbed Midi's arm.
After spending a long time with Avril, the charming Dark Elf assassin, Victoria has obviously learned a lot.
As for Midi, he could only sigh resigned to his fate at this moment, after all, didn't he come to the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce in person this time to give Victoria courage?
It's just that this time I must make a rule with Avril when I go back, and I can't be tempted anymore.
Midi thought to herself.
And this scene was placed in the eyes of the white-haired old man and the others on Qingjing Floating Island, but it made them extremely surprised, and even shocked.
When will Victoria, a genius who is arrogant to the extreme, and who is not pretentious to almost all men, be as small as an ordinary daughter?
That black-haired young man, isn't he the blade in the Sky Arena, although the force is indeed extremely strong, and it is said to have mysterious flying skills, but after all, he is just a human from the Nether, and the level is not high enough, how can he be able to get Victoria's favor?
In the eyes of everyone full of surprise and bewilderment, the young man and woman got into the carriage and drove away.
Soon, the two of them had arrived at a huge and luxurious mansion in the middle of Qingjing Floating Island.
This is the core location of Qingjing Floating Island, the headquarters of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, Midi is still an outsider and is not qualified to enter the meeting hall of the headquarters, so he can only wait outside for the time being, and only Victoria can face the fourteen directors of the board of directors and the chairman himself.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just outside the door, if anything unusual, just call my name, and I'll go in and beat them all up." Getting out of the carriage, Midi said deliberately beside Victoria.
He didn't speak loudly, but he didn't hide it, and because of this, the guards of the Chamber of Commerce around him all listened to these unashamed words, and their faces suddenly became extremely exciting. Even the white-haired old man who was level 62 and full of concentration, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
How arrogant it is to say in front of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce headquarters that all the members of the board of directors will be beaten!
Only Victoria burst out laughing.
The girl knew that the reason why Midi was making a big deal here was not so much to show her attitude and position, but to help her relax.
After all, even if she was fully prepared and held a trump card in her hand that no one else could imagine, an eighteen-year-old girl could not help but be a little nervous when she was about to face such a verbal sword.
But now, Victoria suddenly found that under the slight smile in her eyes, she had forgotten all these tensions.
Just hold the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce in my own hands!
Victoria made up her mind, and strode into the chamber.
"Victoria, please give the board a report on what you are doing these days. In the cold hall, the man at the top glanced at Victoria, who was standing alone in the center, and said in an indifferent voice.
This tall celestial man was Victoria's father, Kadiran Rothschild.
Looking at her father, Victoria sighed deeply in her heart, and felt extremely strange.
Originally, this father was very fond of Victoria, just like all those ordinary fathers.
However, that all changed as Victoria's business talents began to emerge and even began to fade away from her father's glory. Her father began to become suspicious, jealous, and even defensive about her. At first, the naïve Victoria didn't realize this, she simply thought that if she could make better use of her talents, she would be able to help her father more.
Until one time, two years ago, in a large-scale investment, Kadilan made a wrong judgment and caused the Chamber of Commerce to lose tens of millions of crystals, but Victoria expected this, so she used her means to turn the tide.
The whole chamber of commerce praised Victoria, who thought she would get more favor from her father, but in the end, all she got was complete indifference, and later, she was almost assassinated.
At this point, Victoria realized that her father, who was once close to her, was no longer there.
In the eyes of the outside world, Victoria is still the genius who has been trained by the Chamber of Commerce, but she herself knows very well that her father, who originally supported her, has now stood on the opposite side, on the side of the two brothers who he can control and manipulate.
If it weren't for this father's permission, how could the two elder brothers, who were not very talented, send out eight airships to intercept them halfway?
With a deep sigh in her heart, Victoria pulled away from the momentary memories and replied proudly: "If you talk about the profitability of my industry, I believe that the weekly report has been submitted to the board of directors, so far, it is all black profit, there is no deficit, and besides, the Monsoon Ship Group branch in the East China Sea has recently made huge profits because of the excellent sales of spices, I don't know if you have any questions?"
"My dear daughter, stop going around in circles. Chairman Kadiran frowned, "What we want to know is what happened when you disappeared, and you must explain everything clearly." ”
"First of all, let me clarify that I am not missing, but have gone on a very confidential transaction. As for the content, according to the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, the board of directors has no right to intervene in the absence of any deficit in my earnings and no clarity in the accounts. "Victoria methodically carried out a second counterattack.
"So, what about the narwhal? it's not your private property alone, it's the most advanced airship that has the highest technical content of the Chamber of Commerce, where is it now?" asked Kadilan again.
This time, Victoria had no room to refuse, because although the right to use the narwhal belonged to her, in the final analysis, the ownership still belonged to the Chamber of Commerce, and as the owner of the Chamber of Commerce, the board of directors was naturally qualified to inquire about its whereabouts.
But where is the place to go? This airship was so miserable that it was directly crushed by the Vulture Warship, and there was not even any scum left.
After a slight pause, Victoria replied bluntly, "The narwhal crashed." ”
"What!"
All of a sudden, there was a suppressed uproar in the boardroom.
The fourteen directors, as well as the chairman himself, all showed a look of surprise and even incredulity.
