In front of the Meyer Chamber of Commerce.
Halley and his son, Gandalf, and Louis stared at each other with wide eyes.
Just when Louis was about to start a quarrel with him, Gandalf, who was standing in the front, reminded him, "Mr. Meyer, I wonder if His Highness Louis has told you that the details of the cooperation between the White Tower and His Highness will be handled by you?"
Louis finally felt his heart finally settle down, and for a moment he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Only then did he remember that he had mentioned this matter to the White Tower before in order to separate his three identities: political, military, and business.
Then he smiled kindly: "Look at what you said, Your Highness told me about this matter a long time ago."
"It's just that when I met you guys, I was still wondering if you guys made too much money during this period, so you three big guys were blown directly to our Chamber of Commerce."
Gandalf laughed and said:
"Mr. Meyer is really funny. If you really think so, you won't say it."
Louis laughed and said, "Haha, please forgive me, so what are you guys doing is..."
He once again felt the tyranny of [Mask of Greed].
From the Sapphire Dragon couple to Gandalf, the Lord of the White Tower, no one could discover his true identity.
They were afraid that if he didn't take off the mask, even if he told them directly that he was Louis, they would still be skeptical.
Reassured, he said openly, "How about we go to our Chamber of Commerce office to discuss in detail?"
Everyone nodded and followed him in.
Once inside, Harley went straight to the point:
"The waste treatment facilities in various regions of the Empire are handled by our Todd family."
Louis's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Want to grab food? Harley said in a deep voice:
"I received news that the White Tower is developing new technology to replace the Supreme Forest's waste treatment equipment."
"I wonder if there is still room for maneuver in this matter, giving our Todd family some time to respond?"
Louis said "Oh my!"
Are you really here to steal my food? Are you trying to take advantage of the 40 small goals I haven't gotten yet? You're courting death!
Let's touch it! Then he smiled: "Whether there is room for maneuver or not, my words don't count."
Harley glared at his son Gregory, and finally said with a sigh:
"I won't hide this either."
"Some time ago, at His Royal Highness Louis's engagement ball, there was some unpleasantness among the people."
"Our original purpose for coming here this time was to meet Sir Gandalf and have a good discussion about new technologies in waste disposal."
"If possible, delay the time it takes to launch the product a little bit, and give us a chance to reduce our losses."
"If that doesn't work..."
Louis narrowed his eyes: "What do you want?"
Harley's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Then we can only give you the research results of the Todd family on this aspect of elf technology over the years."
"I hope the White Tower can complete the experiment as soon as possible and help Enther break free from the shackles of the elves."
Louis: "Then don't blame me...eh?"
He was dumbfounded.
What did this man just say? Perhaps he noticed the twitching expression on Louis' face, and he said calmly:
"Todd is Todd of Enser. It is only natural for him to be loyal to the empire. Of course, this also means making amends to His Royal Highness Louis."
"Please use Mr. Meyer's channel to communicate with His Highness."
Gregory, looking somewhat embarrassed, walked forward.
He quietly stuffed a heavy cloth bag into Louis' hands.
Good job.
Just hearing the sound of metal colliding inside, Louis dared to swear as the [Capitalist Sin: Greed] -
Definitely gold coins! And it has to be 295 gold coins or more!
Don't ask.
The question is, he had heard it countless times some time ago when he slept with a bag of gold coins in order to sleep peacefully.
Louis frowned: "Are you trying to bribe me with money?"
The next moment, Gregory added, "Mr. Meyer, please tell His Royal Highness Louis that I was really ignorant before."
"These 300 gold coins are a deposit. Consider it as us making friends with Mr. Meyer."
When Louis came to his senses, he found that his right hand had been intimately holding Gregory's hand without him knowing it.
The left hand has already taken the purse.
"Move! Move my body! Let me go!"
But he gave too much.
Louis hesitated for a long time, but finally put the purse on his waist.
He said indifferently: "I mainly like making friends."
"Isn't it just a message? I know His Royal Highness Louis very well, so this matter is easy to handle."
Hearing this, Gregory's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Louis pointed at the Chamber of Commerce under his feet, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Guess where the start-up capital of the Mayer Chamber of Commerce came from?"
This time, even Harley couldn't sit still.
He stepped forward and said, "Please help us put in a few good words with His Royal Highness Louis. My stupid son was cheated without knowing it. Our family is willing to compensate him."
"If Mr. Meyer can help us calm His Highness's anger..."
Louis raised his voice:
"They are my beloved relatives, friends, brothers and sisters!"
Harley's eyes brightened.
Is the relationship so strong?
So he directly pulled off the dimensional bag on Gregory's waist.
Seeing his son looking aggrieved as if his New Year's red envelope had been taken away, Harley handed the dimensional bag over:
"We in the Todd family like to have as many friends as possible."
Louis was delighted: "What a coincidence, me too."
Originally, the Todd family seemed annoying, but now it seems that they are actually quite approachable.
At this time, Gandalf, who was holding his two-handed sword as if he were dead, suddenly said:
"Mr. Meyer, are you the Sapphire Dragon?"
Louis paused.
No, Sir Gandalf, how can you curse me? So he denied loudly: "Of course I am not!"
But just this half-second pause made Harley and Gregory gasp.
It's all connected. All the clues are connected.
No wonder the Meyer Chamber of Commerce has the technology to make sapphire dragon dresses.
No wonder the two legendary dragons were arranged here by His Royal Highness Louis when they came to Tino City.
No wonder Mr. Meyer said he had a good relationship with Louis.
All of these can be explained.
Gregory, who was almost fooled by Xinshangyu outside the ball, suddenly shuddered and reacted instantly and said:
"Of course, if Mr. Meyer says it's not, then it's not."
This guy, who was almost driven to a mental breakdown by Louis, now has only one thought in his mind: "The orthodox Sapphire Dragon is in Meyer!"
He dared to swear in the name of his ancestors that if Mr. Meyer was not a dragon, he would eat the plaque in his home alive! As for what they thought in their hearts, it was none of Louis' business.
When both parties left the Mayer Chamber of Commerce, everyone was smiling.
Louis got something for free.
The Todd family, father and son, were thankful that there was a chance to resolve the issue.
Gandalf was happy to have acquired the technology of the Todd family.
That's how the matter was settled.
…
【Location: Office of the Lord Chancellor】
"Hahaha, the new head of the Todd family is really becoming more and more interesting."
Beatrice laughed so hard that she couldn't even stand up straight.
Louis looked puzzled: "I thought they would continue to struggle, but the Todd family is really too..."
Louis didn't feel comfortable saying the word "softie" because they gave him a large amount of gold coins.
Beatrice straightened her well-proportioned upper body and said with a smile:
"Not to mention that the royal family has actually been biased towards the Todd family in recent years."
"Otherwise, such a large order for purchasing waste treatment equipment would not have fallen into their hands."
Louis understood instantly.
On the one hand, genius has triumphed over capital…or in other words, top genius itself is capital.
On the other hand, the Todd family may not be so harmonious with the two dukes' families.
In order to prevent themselves from being taken advantage of by the emperor, the Duke of Argyll and the Duke of Bute dispersed their property and handed it over to controllable nobles for management.
——As for whether the little nobles would be obedient or not, they would not consider it at all.
Being the Duke's dog is the greatest honor, is there anything else to object to? However, the royal family immediately invested in the Todd family.
He could imagine the Todd family's mental journey.
"It is the greatest honor to be the Duke's dog."
"But the royal family is so generous!"
"Whose dog is not a dog? The emperor is above, the duke is below!"
"It is our duty to restore Todd's glory!"
Well, if you think about it, even if the Todd family really thinks so in reality, they will not show it.
What is really fatal is that after the royal family invested in the Todd family, the Todd family can no longer clear themselves of the suspicion.
The two great ducal families no longer trust the Todd family as much as before, which will further push the Todd family to get closer to the royal family.
happy.
I thought they were in cahoots, but it turned out to be a plot to sow discord.
The open and aboveboard plot directly created a dark forest between the three families.
After figuring this out, Louis stopped thinking about it.
But some people in the office couldn't help but think too much.
Beatrice bit her teeth and suddenly said, "Xie, pour me a cup of tea!"
Qian's footsteps were heard outside the door.
But why did the footsteps sound a little... hateful? But she still quickly brought the tea over, then turned around and wanted to leave.
Before leaving, Beatrice said casually, "Xia, there's no need to close the door."
Click~ A fingerprint suddenly appeared on the iron tray that Qian used to hold tea.
She nodded with a slightly twitching expression, then turned and left.
Not long after, Louis seemed to hear a scream coming from quite far away outside the office.
When he came to his senses, he said, "What's that sound?"
Beatrice looked innocent: "Maybe it's the groundhog calling."
"oh."
He didn't think much about it.
He raised his head and fixed his burning gaze on Beatrice.
Beatrice turned her head away subconsciously.
She said: "The door is still open, this is not good."
He said: "...I have always wanted to ask what is going on with the Emperor."
Beatrice awkwardly used her fingers to tuck up the hair that fell beside her ears.
She said, "After a while, I will take you to meet your father."
Crack~ Louis' emotions fluctuated so much that he broke a corner of the table.
Do you want to meet your father-in-law?
Why so fast? No, I should have expected it, after all, we were engaged.
Ahhhhh…
This time it was Louis who wanted to make the groundhog call.
The mere thought of meeting his father-in-law made him sweat profusely.
Then I thought about that man who was so strong that he could beat even a demigod into a pulp, and scared the legends so much that they dared not cross the dividing line he set...
Louis couldn't hold it any longer:
"Beatrice, does your father-in-law have any preferences?"
Beatrice chuckled and said, "My father liked to fight with others in his early years."
Louis was shocked: "Let Instructor Gino handle this matter!"
"Hahaha, don't worry, father won't make things difficult for you."
"No, seriously, you still have to bring something with you."
Beatrice smiled with a hint of helplessness: "It's unnecessary. For him now, it's not necessary."

【Location: Tino City, Royal Palace】
Olivia was having a sweet dream.
In the dream, she and a group of people from the Moonlit Cat Group had just come out of the underground ruins in the outer city.
She did not leave immediately, but went directly to find Sister Wang.
Then, in the office of the Minister of the King's sister, she met Huoguo who had just left.
Then he was dragged by the bad guy Huoguo to the food street.
Hehehe, the garlic grilled shrimp and vegetable skewers in the dream were quite delicious.
But why is it Huoguo who is treating me? I am not without money! So the little swan was anxious and tried hard to take money out of the dimensional bag on his waist.
She didn't want Huoguo to treat her! "Hey, it smells so good! Give me another one~ Huoguo, you're so bad! You stole my skewers again!"
The little swan rolled into a ball on the bed, with crystal saliva at the corners of its mouth.
But this dream is too unstable.
In the dream, the little swan wanted to buy the skewers for himself and not share any with the big bad guy Huoguo.
But when she arrived at the stall and reached out to take out the dimensional bag, she couldn't take out a single dollar for a long time.
This made her very anxious.
This force woke her up.
The little swan shook his head.
What a strange dream.
Thinking of Huoguo's stingy appearance in her dream, she smiled.
Then my saliva couldn't help but flow.
She always felt that she had forgotten something. The scenes in her dream faded quickly, but the smell of grilled garlic shrimp in the dream came to her face.
The little swan was greedy.
Do you want to sneak out and buy some to try?
Food street, hey hey, food street!
But gradually, she remembered something that had caused a big stir in her previous life but was now ignored by her.
Her expression began to change gradually.
There was a pig-slaughtering howl in the palace! "Why could I have completely forgotten such an important thing!"
…
【Location: Tino City, Prince's Palace】
Under the pretext of returning Louis' windbreaker, the little swans were fighting and making a fuss in the hall.
"No! No! I have something important to do today! I don't want to go to class!"
"Louis, help me! I want to go to the commercial street!"
Louis was both angry and amused:
"If you want to go eat delicious food, just tell me. Didn't I treat you last time?"
"Huh?"
The little swan was stunned, and felt that the vague memories in the dream suddenly became clear.
Not a dream? Then she was even more furious: "You stole my skewers last time and I didn't even have enough to eat!"
Louis was furious: "Stupid, are you confused after sleeping?!"
Do you know how painful it is for me to pay for a meal?
It's like a knife cutting my heart! (End of this chapter)
