In the newly completed United Chamber of Commerce in red blood castle, Roger Yoder is sitting in a lavishly decorated banquet hall full of eboden style, enjoying the host''s hospitality without expression.
Forty year old red blood wine, classic wine stewed beef, Western Saxophone style snacks, and even a delicious blue cod... Although slightly pickled, the cost of the journey from eboden to Bain alone is amazing.
However, old Roger was not in the mood to eat at the moment. He clenched the armrests on both sides of the chair and looked warily at the petite and weak figure at the other end of the long table.
"Lord Roger Yoder, please come and visit in person. It''s really an honor for our chamber of Commerce."
Sitting in a chair with long silver hair, Ariel corona looked upright and said in a soft and childish voice, "I hope today''s party is in line with your appetite. I hope you can understand anything thoughtless."
Old Roger, who heard this, frowned and looked more gloomy; Cold eyes swept around the banquet hall, as if a pair of eyes were peeping at themselves from a corner.
"What are you looking for? You can ask if you need..."
"Don''t say such polite things to me, Miss Ariel of the corona family!" the frosty old Roger coldly interrupted the girl''s words and looked at her impolitely:
"You and I know the reason for today''s meeting, so don''t continue nonsense!"
"Why?"
"Don''t challenge my patience, especially today!" looking at the confused girl, old Roger gradually exerted his hands holding the armrest of the chair, and his tight fingertips began to turn white.
Of course, he knows the purpose of the other party''s sudden banquet - the United Chamber of Commerce, which has won several trade points in the north of Bain, needs time to digest the new territory and establish a stable business route, and at the same time, he should be prepared to face the counter attack of Yoder chamber of Commerce;
However, it doesn''t matter, because the weakened yode chamber of commerce also needs time to recover and fine tune, so it''s not impossible to make a temporary reconciliation... But it doesn''t mean that he can accept a puppet obviously thrown by the other party as his equal negotiation object!
"I have no intention of humiliating you, Miss Ariel, but I also know that you are not the real person in charge of the United Chamber of Commerce... So save time for both of us..."
Old Roger spoke with a gloomy face: "the last time... Don''t challenge my patience!"
A long silence.
The girl sitting opposite gently put down the tableware in her hand, and the last emotion in the corner of her mouth disappeared without a trace and changed back to the original simple indifference.
Old Roger glanced warily behind him.
He knows very well that this is the base camp of the other party, and it is a taboo to personally commit risks; If the other party is really ready to tear his face and do it himself, then
"I''m still wondering why the restaurant of the chamber of commerce is so busy today. It turns out that there are guests."
Old Roger was stunned by the sudden sound, stared in shock, and suddenly looked up at the door behind the girl!
How, how... Did you hear wrong?!
"Really, Miss Ariel is really cute and naughty - since there are guests, why don''t you inform me?"
The footsteps knocked on the floor tiles in the corridor behind the door and sent out a clear echo. The clearer and clearer voice of words made old Roger''s expression more and more stunned and more unbelievable.
No, impossible, impossible! He, he is not already
"However, I think it doesn''t matter. After all, everyone is so familiar that a slight neglect won''t seem too rude..."
"Pa --!"
At the moment when the door opened, old Roger suddenly got up, looked at the gentle "familiar figure" who came in from behind the door, put his hands on his back, smiled and bowed to himself:
"Father, I''m back."
Marto Yod... The one who failed in the imperial capital and should have died in the gem River... His own son?!
It''s him?!
"Your expression... Seems a little suspicious?" little Yod smiled gently and stroked his chest with his right hand:
"Yes, it''s me, the eldest son you threw away as an abandoned son."
"You, why did you..."
"Why are you here?" little Joad smiled more and more. "Oh, it seems that you still don''t want to accept the reality... Yes, I''m the real person in charge of the United Chamber of Commerce you''ve always wanted to see."
"I am the ''culprit'' who personally defeated the North Branch of Yoder chamber of Commerce in Bain and forced them to go bankrupt and transfer. I am also the behind the scenes... I personally persuaded the corona family to go south immediately, seize the chassis and wait for the opportunity while the strength of Yoder chamber of Commerce decreased..."
Old Roger suddenly got up. His shocked face was now ferocious and twisted. He strode to the smiling little Joad, and then grabbed the collar to lift him up in the air.
"Why --?!!!"
Shouted the angry old Roger, with his eyes fixed on Ariel corona sitting aside:
"What''s going on?!"
Looking at him silently, the girl said nothing, and her contemptuous eyes were like looking at a beast approaching a dead end.
The frightened little yodes had no intention of resisting, and a sneer hung from the corners of her mouth.
"Answer me --?!"
Old Roger was still screaming... Ferocious and desperate, and the spitting stars splashed everywhere: "do you hear, Ariel corona?!"
"You still don''t seem to accept the reality. I''ll say it again. Miss Ariel is just a guest of red blood castle. I am..."
A dark shadow flashed, and little Joad''s voice stopped suddenly.
Old Roger hit the bridge of his nose directly with a backhand punch. The unsuspecting little Yod almost completely took the punch. The crisp sound of bone cracking and splashing blood foam sprayed out from the corners of his mouth, dyeing old Roger''s collar red.
"Who allowed you to interrupt, huh? Talk, who allowed you to interrupt?!"
Old Roger, who shouted loudly, threw little Joad directly to the corner. Little Joad, who had not yet stood firm, was then kicked again and collapsed to the ground with a miserable howl.
From beginning to end, Ariel sat quietly watching, just like enjoying a wonderful play.
Old Roger was like a mad beast. His shock and anger made him feel very cruel at the moment; With a burning murderous intent, he stared at little Joad''s face.
"Bang --!"
The door of the banquet hall was knocked open. With the sound of impact, more than a dozen heavily armed figures rushed in, and an iron jungle surrounded old Roger.
"Stop it!!!!!"
Little Yod, who collapsed to the ground, suddenly roared and stopped the chamber of Commerce guards who almost rushed to break old Roger''s body.
The voice fell, and little Joad, who fell to the ground, got up trembling; Old Roger stared at the bloody face and wanted to tear it to pieces.
"Don''t get me wrong, father... No one threatened me. I volunteered everything."
Little Joad''s voice was low, but his expression was cold on his back:
"Do you really think I will return to Byrne obediently, be relieved of the status of heir by you, and be kept as an animal for the rest of my life... I''m sorry, you don''t know your son very well."
"In any way, no matter what identity, I will take back what should belong to me. If you want to call me a traitor, just cheer, I don''t care; because I know the real situation of yode chamber of Commerce clearly, and I know too well how to defeat this seemingly powerful fat pig!"
"A month... Before the Midsummer Festival, I will tear you apart, and then annex them all within a year - the United Chamber of Commerce will become the new Bain ruler, and I am its master!"
Old Roger trembled and tried his best to resist his violent and irrational impulse.
Little Joad with a bloody face shrugged his shoulders and took care of his messy clothes;
"What are you doing there? Sir Roger Yoder is very tired. Don''t get out of the way quickly. Thank you for coming?"
Then, ignoring the eyes that could tear himself to pieces, little Yod smiled and stretched out his right hand to old Roger:
"Lord Roger Yoder, take your time!"
