Chapter 275 You Are Not Worthy of Asking My Name
"Young man... do you know what you mean by saying this?"
There was a strong tone of preaching in his words.
When the old man named Rafael Rosas heard Ryan shout "Get lost", he didn't get angry. Instead, the sarcasm on his face became more and more intense.
Humph, just a fool who doesn't know what's good for him.
He, the "Minister of Commerce", is now the top powerful figure in the Glorious Kingdom. Not many people dare to speak to him in this tone. Even the dukes and princes of the two empires have to consider whether they dare to offend him when facing him.
He thought that a fool like Ryan couldn't understand the current situation, so he ignored him and looked at Canossa beside him. He asked in a deep voice: "President Canossa, is this what you mean?"
After a pause, he emphasized, "Is this also what your Black Gold Chamber of Commerce meant?"
…
When the Chamber of Commerce was mentioned, the threat became obvious.
It is common knowledge that the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" is now being suppressed by the two empires.
From all aspects, the business of various large and small businesses under Black Gold has shrunk by at least 50% in the past one or two years!
If it weren't for the support of some local nobles in those remote areas of Theed, they would probably have lost their foothold long ago.
In everyone's opinion, since the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" can no longer survive in the two empires, it will definitely not give up the market in Guanghui City.
Although the territory of the Glorious Kingdom is not as large as that of the two empires, the future is promising. According to this development momentum, in a few years, it will definitely become another super empire that is not inferior to the two empires.
Businessmen are just pursuing profits.
He felt that as long as President Canossa was not stupid, he would be able to see the situation clearly and would not dare to give up this "last straw".
If you want to gain a foothold, you can only ask them for help from the Glorious City.
That's why he prescribed the formula at the humiliating price of "100 million liso".
Of course, saying that I was buying the formula was more of a test of her bottom line.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse.
What the Rosas family wanted was not only the wealth of the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce", but also all its resources, mature channels, stores, intelligence networks...
This is the real goose that can continue to lay golden eggs.
…
Just when , suddenly, he found that the situation was somewhat different from what he expected.
The expression of the woman in front of me was too calm.
Not only didn't there appear to be any anger after being humiliated in her eyes, but there was even a hint of disdainful sneer?
At this time, Canossa also spoke, and said lightly: "Your Majesty Ryan's meaning is my meaning."
"you……"
Marquis Raphael's face froze, and he suddenly thought he had heard wrongly.
I was stunned for a moment before I came to my senses.
What this woman meant was...get out?
He never expected to hear such a sentence, and threatened in a deep voice: "Do you know that you will completely ruin your Black Gold Chamber of Commerce's last chance by doing this?!"
Canossa raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, then said calmly: "It seems that you didn't hear clearly what His Majesty Ryan meant. Do you want me to repeat it again?"
Hearing this, Raphael finally became angry.
If it was just a young and inexperienced person, one could say that he didn't know the overall situation and spoke arrogantly; but when the Black Gold Guild President spoke like this, he was directly humiliating people!
He directly revealed his trump card and threatened: "I heard that you, Black Gold, spent a huge amount of money to purchase a large number of materials for territory construction. Do you know that with just one word from me, no territory in Glory City will buy your stuff, no matter how low the price is. Your batch of materials will just rot in your hands!"
Kanossa had previously purchased a large amount of building materials in the Theed Empire. The amount was so huge that it was impossible to hide it from others. Moreover, she had recruited a lot of craftsmen. In the eyes of everyone, this move showed that she had taken a fancy to the opportunity of "Glory City" to establish a country and expand the territory in a large amount, and wanted to make a fortune.
After all, the only country that can afford that amount of construction materials now is the "Glorious Kingdom"!
Therefore, this is the biggest bargaining chip that Marquis Raphael has always been confident of.
As the Minister of Commerce, he controls the kingdom's business. As long as he disagrees, the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce's materials will never pass through the "Sounding Wind Pass".
He felt that unless Canossa was crazy, there was no way he would refuse!
Canossa had already lost interest in talking to this guy, and said, "I don't need to bother you with how our Chamber of Commerce's materials work."
This cold tone made Marquis Raphael feel completely humiliated.
"Good! Very good!"
He was so angry that his face turned purple.
The slap had already landed on the face of the Marquis, so he didn't beat around the bush and said , "I can guarantee that from today onwards, you Black Gold will never have a foothold in any territory of our Glorious Kingdom! I will also notify the Ministry of Commerce of the two great empires of Omahid to completely ban you! I hope you won't regret it then!"
"oh."
Canossa seemed to ignore it and remained calm.
Ryan, who was standing by, was not interested in listening to the old man's nagging, and said to her, "President Canossa, let's go."
Hearing this, Canossa, who had a stern face, suddenly smiled and said obediently: "Okay, Your Majesty Ryan."
"stop!"
Being ignored repeatedly, the powerful minister of Glory City looked increasingly unhappy, and was faintly furious.
Not to mention that after he became the minister of the kingdom, even in the past few decades, his Rosas family was one of the five major families in Glory City. When had he ever suffered such an insult?
To the west of the "Alcolon Mountains", only their Glorious City dominates the area. No matter how powerful the nobles of your two empires are, you have no right to run wild here !
He looked at Ryan and asked coldly, "Who is your Excellency?"
…
"Oh."
Ryan saw that he was blocked by several servants. He didn't show any courtesy at all. He shouted angrily, "You are just a marquis of a kingdom. Are you qualified to ask me my name? Get lost!"
Who doesn’t know how to show off?
Since you are showing off your "Minister of Commerce" to intimidate others, I, the dignified Lord of Black Dragon City, am inferior to your King?
After a pause, he sneered again: "Old man, you are not qualified to talk to me. It would be better to ask Kipling Winster to come in person!"
Before he finished his words, there was a crisp slapping sound.
Without waiting for the other party to react, Ryan slapped the servant who was blocking his way on the cheek, knocking him to the ground with bloody teeth flying.
He raised his neck, exuding the aura of a domineering boss, and walked towards the banquet hall without looking back, with a step that showed he didn't care about anyone.
Seeing his arrogant look, Canossa chuckled in his heart and hurriedly followed him.
Only the old man Raphael and several servants were left standing there with stiff expressions.
After a long while,
Marquis Raphael finally recovered from his shock and flew into a rage: "Check! Find out who that guy is!"
…
Canossa quickly chased after him, took Ryan's arm, and laughed softly: "Wow, my dear Lord Mayor, you were really impressive just now. You... seem to be a little moved."
"oh?"
Ryan's "boss aura" has not yet dissipated.
Hearing this, he looked at the stunning beauty in front of him with aggressive eyes, held her chin with his hand, and kissed her beautiful red lips domineeringly.
Canossa had no intention of refusing and they kissed passionately for a moment.
Ryan smiled wickedly: "How about this?"
Kanosa's eyebrows were curved like the moon, with a bright smile on his face: "It feels good."
Ryan did not indulge in that extreme tenderness and entered the banquet hall with Canossa.
…
The two entered the banquet hall, glanced at the layout, and did not find any special "traps".
There were thousands of people in the huge banquet hall.
After a quick glance, the system didn't identify any experts, at least none of the "Top Ten Legends" or the high-end combat forces of Glory City were there.
Some large auction items have been placed on the temporary auction table converted from the stage, one of which is a huge iron cage that is particularly eye-catching.
It seemed that the iron cage was not covered at all, just to let people see it.
Looking closely, I saw that the person locked inside was a giant covered in blood.
Ryan naturally recognized it at a glance. It was "Hab", Coleman's former number one fighter.
One of the highlights of tonight's auction.
At this moment, Habu in the cage was covered in blood, with a "magic collar" on his neck. The totem had been stripped off, and two alchemical , which had damaged the meridians in his upper body, and he looked very weak.
Ryan wanted to take another look, but at this time, Canossa held his cheeks with both hands, turned to herself, bit her ear and whispered, "There is a Perceptual Extraordinary watching, don't look at it too much."
"Um."
Ryan understood instantly and put his arms around her slender waist.
Obviously, there was a hidden master in the dark that his perception had not seen.
The two of them arrived and instantly became the focus of the whole place. Their appearance and temperament were too eye-catching, like a blazing flame in the dark night that could not be concealed at all.
Furthermore, the scene at the entrance of the banquet hall had also been spread by interested people. At this moment, in the banquet hall, no matter the nobles or businessmen, everyone was full of curiosity about Ryan's identity.
Just after I entered the door, someone came over with a wine glass, and seemed to be trying to get close to me.
Canossa was not interested in talking to anyone anymore. The main theme of the night was fighting, not business cooperation.
She gestured to the dance floor nearby and asked coquettishly, "Lord City Lord, would you like to invite me to dance?"
Ryan readily agreed: "Okay."
The auction hasn't started yet, there was a warm-up dance before that.
Those who can come to the manor are either rich or noble. This is an auction as well as a social gathering of the upper class.
This is common practice.
Ladies in gorgeous clothes and gentlemen in suits and tuxedos entered the venue hugging each other and danced to the soft music.
Canossa held the hem of her skirt with one hand and held Ryan's hand with the other, and stepped lightly and gracefully into the dance floor.
The two of them were not nervous at all as they were before the battle. To the soothing rhythm of the music, they either hugged each other intimately or danced in circles...
As soon as they entered the dance floor, they immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
Canossa's dancing posture is as graceful as her body. Her dancing posture makes people feel that the splendor around them is eclipsed, and only the graceful shadows can be seen.
Light and agile, elegant and charming, the black gauze dress makes her look like a black swan dancing on the ice, exuding a unique and independent aloof temperament...
The dance partner that the woman was holding hands with was wearing a neat white suit. He looked very handsome and also attracted everyone's attention.
Although Ryan's muscles were very strong, his dancing posture was not stiff at all. He now had a very high control over his muscles, and every movement was completed just right.
His dancing posture is gentlemanly yet also a little domineering.
The two danced happily on the dance floor, and the lights focused on them.
…
Those bold noble ladies and socialites covered their mouths and exclaimed softly when they saw Ryan, without showing their admiration at all.
"Oh my god, that man is so handsome. Wow, I must invite him to dance later..."
"Why didn't I meet such a generous man earlier..."
"Oh my God... Where on earth is this nobleman from? I have never seen him before?"
"I just heard that he seems to be the 'lord of Black Dragon City' Ryan Hermes..."
“…”
The men were attracted by Canossa's beautiful temperament and were full of praise.
"I've heard that the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce's President Canossa is extremely beautiful. Seeing her today, she is indeed extraordinary..."
"Who is this young man? Why does he look so unfamiliar? I am quite familiar with the young talents of the two empires, but I don't remember anyone like this."
"I heard that it seems to be a lord of a city called 'Black Dragon City', named Ryan Hermes."
"Where is Black Dragon City? In Oma or in Theed?"
“…”
Before the dance was over, the name of "Black Dragon City" and its lord Ryan had spread throughout the banquet hall through word of mouth.
People were talking about the strange Black Dragon City and the mysterious city lord whom they had never heard of.
…
On the other hand.
Soon, Rafael Rosas, who had been humiliated before, obtained detailed information about Ryan.
"My lord, it has been confirmed that Ryan Hermes is a subordinate of Princess Ymir of Omar."
"Princess Omar's man? Does that mean his noble identity is fake?"
"Yes, sir."
"Did that guy bring any guards? Or are there people from Princess Omar's lineage coming as well?"
"No. There are only guards from the Black Gold Merchant Guild outside the manor, and only that Dragonlance Sam is a little bit more troublesome."
"Haha, you dare to come to my Glorious Country and act wild without any guards?"
"But... sir. If the princess has already established a territory, and Ryan is the city lord... according to his title, he may really be a royal family. We..."
"Humph! A fallen royal family, with only the title left to show off. The eldest princess begged our Glory City for permission to build a city, but was denied. She has disappeared for more than half a year. She probably went back to Omar and found a remote corner to build a city. Now in the political arena of Omar, she has no say at all. She is just a stray dog, not worth mentioning!"
"Then sir... now the princess's people have joined forces with the 'Black Gold Chamber of Commerce'. Perhaps there is something else going on. Should we investigate further?"
"Now our Glorious Kingdom has absolute control over the west of the Alcoron Mountains. Let alone a poor princess, even if Emperor Omar comes and dares to act wildly, we don't need to be polite. Now that the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce has come, we must find an opportunity to take her down. Since the president of Canossa has come, we must not let her go! Since she doesn't know what's good for her, then... arrest her first!"
"Yes, sir."
