Chapter 469
"Lord Loren Torino, Miss Lena, the two of you were here, let me find it for a long time!"
The smiling president Clermont appeared and disappear unpredictably. Normally, there is no sound at all and I have already stood at the table of the black hair wizard: "I don't know if you are still satisfied with tonight's banquet. If you have something you like, please feel free to speak."
"Although the auction will not start until the middle of the night, if Loren-sama and Ms. Lena speak, we will stay for both of us anyway!" The black hair wizard looked back with a formulaic expression on the corner of his mouth. He smiled, but his gaze was completely set on a youngster next to President Clermont, whose scorching eyes were also staring at him.
Shattered brown and black curly short hair, dark pupils and slightly curled up with a trace of indelible arrogance; turquoise brooch pinned to the chest, wearing a red and black Byrne long-sleeved open-necked Chinese dress The youngster has his hands behind his back, and his slender figure is as tall as loose.
Public but not high-profile, but arrogant but knows how to converge... from head to toe gives people a kind of arrogant and noble Young Master temperament that is hard to describe. I can't think of just being the son of the chairman of Chamber of Commerce without a title. , Without the slightest hint of marketability.
"Meeting for the first time, Viscount Loren Torino."
The youngster with the corners of his mouth ignored the Chairman Claremont who was still chattering next to him, and he spoke first: "Next The father of Yorde is the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. If you can, you can call me little Yorde."
With that, he directly extended his right hand: "I am you tonight My opponent, please give me your advice!"
The smiling black hair wizard shook hands with him, and glanced at the somewhat embarrassed President Clermont... Like the rich Young Master, this one also has the problem of ignoring others.
But how to put it...resembles nature itself from head to toe, unpretentious and not disgusting.
"You are so polite, I'm just a little wizard."
Loren's performance is very indifferent, and there is no excessive enthusiasm; he has no friendship with each other In any case, he didn't intend to have much relationship with a big benefactor of Byrne.
After Brandon officially married the Charlotte female count, he should really consider how to deal with them, but it is definitely not now.
"The dignified Imperial Family wizard, the Honorary Viscount is just a'little wizard', so what are we'little merchants'?"
Little Yod A hearty laugh: "It's not a good thing to be too humble, Lord Loren; I have heard that you have defeated the newly succeeded Chaen Count in the chess game tonight, and you still lost miserably!"
"Aiya...I remember the last time he lost to this virtue, it has been several years ago... What do you think of Clermont?"
"That is already It happened five years ago...The chess skills of today's little Chaen count is not only Imperial Capital, but one of the very best in the entire empire; there are few that can win."
G President Lemon was not at all irritated, as if the person being called by his name was not him. Instead, the smiled nodded said: "Your Excellency Loren can convince him to lose. Obviously the level is several levels higher than count!"
Of course he has the capital to despise President Clermont-the gem Chamber of Commerce, which controls the trade between Western Sacrament and Eboden, and may be called a large Chamber of Commerce in the northern part of the empire, but and The Chamber of Commerce, which holds gold mines and even mining rights, is nothing compared to it!
If it weren't for this casino to involve many nobles in the upper echelons of the empire, and even a wealthy family with a long history like the Charn family, Jr. Yod would not even be willing to deal with them.
Even Loren, for him, is just barely visible...The cronies around the prince are the only reason for him to "succumb to"; in Byrne Duchy, I want to be with Jord Chamber of Commerce, at least when discussing business, count must come forward in person.
Like Arles, a poor and far away ghost place, if it weren’t for the Grand Duke of Arles and the Governor of Byrne to speak in person, the Chamber of Commerce would not bother to be stationed in Chamber of Commerce to do business for them. The pitiful trade in leather and iron ore.
With Chamber of Commerce's capital and mines as backing, the branches of the Chamber of Commerce have spread throughout the south, and even began to gradually advance to the north-as the heir of the Chamber of Commerce, the younger Yod Appearing in Imperial Capital is part of the expansion plan of the Chamber of Commerce.
He knew very well that Dad sent himself to Golovin, not only to slap these Northern Chamber of Commerce, but for a longer-term purpose.
In the past hundreds of years, the bulk of trade in the north has always been monopolized by Eboden’s free nobles and their ocean-going fleets. It is as difficult as heavenly ascension for them, the Southern Chamber of Commerce, to get involved. Allerman duchy is the domain of Eboden merchants.
But today is different...The Holy Blood Potion incident caused Eboden's strength great injury, many free aristocrats have been chopped off their heads, and commercial wealthy families such as the Bellini family were almost wiped out.
This is a golden opportunity for the Chamber of Commerce!
As long as the Imperial Capital’s House of Nobility and Imperial Cabinet can be successfully persuaded, and with the help of Golovin’s large and small Chamber of Commerce, Jord Chamber of Commerce will be able to take advantage of Eboden’s rejuvenation. , Take the lead in occupying the blank left by them.
Even... extend the tentacles to the legendary ocean-going fleet and spread the branch of Chamber of Commerce to the empire overseas...
Think of the little Yod here and look at Loren’s gaze It's even more eager.
Loren, who was deliberately "touted" by two people, smoothed the corners of his mouth slightly: "Good luck."
"Whether it is good luck or not, I will never play with you anyway Chess—it’s so boring. Even if it’s one million in a game, it takes two or three quarters of an hour to see the difference!"
Little Yod kept an impatient attitude and blinked with his hands behind his back: "If I say that since it is gambling, I should speak with luck... Your Excellency Loren, are you interested in playing a dice?"
"Of course, I don't mind to accompany you on the next game or use Cards determine winning or losing... If you are not confident in your luck, after all... If you lose too badly, Ms. Lena who is with you must be dull too, right?"
Speaking of here , He also smiled at hehe and deliberately glanced at the expressionless "black-rimmed glasses", as if implying something.
Obviously it is the momentum of overbearing, but the little Yod in front of him said that he was thinking about Loren, as it should be by rights.
Loren has a calm smile on the corner of his mouth, and said nothing.
This is an absolutely asymmetrical "battle"-even if I can really win two million Silver Coins from the hands of Jr. Yod, against such a gold mine and metallurgical industry As far as the family is concerned, it doesn't hurt or itchy.
But instead of myself...Don't say two million, even if you want to come up with 500,000, it is very difficult; once the news that you have a huge debt is exposed, it will definitely hit Brandon’s reputation. of.
Although the relationship between the two parties makes it easy for Brandon to help him figure out a way to walk around the Vault of Heaven to help him withdraw his debts, but in this way, the mutually beneficial relationship between the two parties will be completely broken. I owe him a favor that will never be repaid!
After being "tortured" by Asriel again and again with favors, Loren absolutely does not want to carry this kind of "favor debt" anymore.
"Otherwise... how about each side taking a step back and dividing the game into two games?"
Chairman Clermont, who was always hanging on the side, intervened again to propose Said: "First Stage is better than craps, and the second game is replaced with cards... This way, you will have luck and compete against each other for skills. What do you think?"
"I have no problem, as long as Loren The Viscount agrees!" Young Jod laughed heartily and waved his hand happily: "But since President Claremont has already biased the rules to your Excellency Loren, can I set the bet for each game? "
"No problem." The calm Loren agreed decisively: "I don't know how much you want to bet?"
"Then...500,000."
The smile on Little Yod’s face grew stronger, and the corners of his mouth showed a tiger tooth: “According to the roll of the dice, it’s 500,000 in a round.”
“Of course, whether you win I will play a handful of cards with you as much as you lose, as long as...when the time comes, you still have that mood, how about it?"
Loren didn’t answer directly, but looked back. Glancing at Lena behind him, the "black-rimmed glasses" was still expressionless, but the moment he turned his head, he deliberately avoided his gaze.
Interesting...
next moment, the black hair wizard who took a deep breath turned around, with a bright smile on his face:
"No problem !"
