Chapter 910 Something happened to the Fallen Angels?
When Master Walter first received the call from Miss Sprengel, he was actually wary.
—He said there was something urgent to discuss, and then gave a secret meeting place, asking him to arrive before sunset — this was too hasty in any way.
After all, they are all well-known figures.
The fifth energy level, holding a high position, is now the actual center of power in the Xingtan Kingdom - now that the king is dead and the queen's status is empty, they are the "monarchs" in the actual sense.
——As a monarch, is it appropriate for you to act so hastily and awkwardly?
Not to mention, this sudden gathering... it really looked like a trap. For a suspicious and vigilant Transcendent, he had to wonder if Miss Sprengel was planning to use him as a ritual sacrifice.
But soon, Master Walter received a call from Ms. Marasia.
The kind and dignified old lady confirmed with Master Walter whether Miss Sprengel had called him - the answer was naturally yes.
And when talking to Ms. Malachia, Ms. Sprengel seemed to reveal more information.
——It seems something happened with the Fallen Angels.
This news made Master Walter feel cold in his heart.
They were undoubtedly at a disadvantage. They had already agreed with the princess to establish the country on May 1st.
At that time, the royal court controlled by the Son of the Moon would inevitably suppress them as traitors. In this fierce conflict, even those nobles and ministers with ambiguous attitudes would have to take sides - this was exactly the experience they learned from Avalon.
Once the Ouroboros ceremony is completed, the balance of power will be reversed. By using this method, they can immediately undermine the other party's legitimacy and identify and eliminate any unstable elements within their own ranks. However, if the Ouroboros ceremony cannot be held as scheduled, or must be postponed... they might even be driven out of Star Antimony by the combined forces of the Moon Children and alchemists!
After all, those Moon Sons and those foreign Moon Sons are connected together, while they are isolated and helpless!
This made Master Walter unable to delay, so he immediately put on his clothes and called the driver.
Fortunately, the road in Lionheart City had been repaired long ago, which allowed the car to drive to the destination at a very fast speed.
The venue for this gathering was the basement of a bar that had not been open for many years.
The bar was called "The Pelican," and the entrance had a graffiti of a pelican swallowing a fish whole. Master Walter remembered that when he was a kid, the bar was quite popular. Then, unnoticed, it closed down.
Later I learned that this was Miss Sprengel's business. Sometimes when the Rosicrucians gathered, they would go to the basement of this seemingly dilapidated and deserted bar.
Unlike the dilapidated outside - first enter the underground storage room, then continue down through the secret door of the storage room. After passing the winding stairs, you will eventually arrive at a dry, bright and warm gathering place.
Ms. Marasia has been here for a long time.
Dubbed "the richest old lady on the planet," she controlled nearly all of the planet's grain supply. Some said she could feed an entire city with just a wave of her hand, and the wheat that trickled from her sleeves could feed an entire city. She was also the only entrepreneur, aside from the goblins and the royal family, to simultaneously control three or more banks.
As for the richest man in the world - some believe it is Prince Heinrich, Count of Leipzig.
But some people claim that the reason Prince Heinrich was rich was because he minted counterfeit coins, because he could never explain where his almost unlimited money came from; and Ms. Marasia was the real rich person.
Almost every herbal medicine store, food store, most pharmacies, parts stores, and one-fifth of banks and real estate development companies in Xingti display the "Lucky Four-Leaf Clover" logo. This signifies that they belong to Madam Marasia's business empire and have an abundant supply of goods.
This kind old lady has extended her business tentacles to every corner of Xingti. Her business model is very simple - to reduce costs.
Because she has ample resources, she can leverage them to dominate the market with ultra-low prices that no one else can match. If she maintains these prices, others will be unable to participate. While this creates a monopoly, it doesn't generate much profit and can breed corruption.
But she chose to slowly raise the price so that others could get a piece of the pie - after all, the one who surpasses others cannot prevent those who come after him from surpassing him.
While everyone is focusing on this "industry where you can easily make money", she will use enough funds and resources to integrate another new track, merge everyone in it, and then repeat the cycle again.
She eats the meat in the front, while others follow behind her to drink the soup. If you want to compete with her, it is basically impossible to win in that simple and plain price war - once she kills her competitors, she will buy them out as well.
Until the advent of the Goblin Age, her business model was almost unbeatable. This model was also considered healthy, so Xingti's business model developed quite well.
—Until the goblins came.
The goblins' strategy initially mirrored that of Lady Marasia, except that Lady Marasia had the advantage of having already consolidated most of Star Antimony's industries, while the goblins had money—nearly unlimited money.
Because in this matter, the goblins' interests are aligned. Ms. Marasia wasn't facing a single goblin merchant, but the assets of all the goblins... This was the first time she had been defeated in such a tug-of-war.
She didn't want to waste time with the goblins, so she simply let them in.
Because Ms. Marasia realized that the goblins would eventually destroy the Star Antimony economy, and when that happened, she would definitely not be the one to suffer.
Since then, Madam Marasia has maintained a low profile. She has never directly confronted the goblin merchants, allowing them to gradually destroy the Star Antimony economy. The goblins, in turn, have been tactful and have not clashed with Madam Marasia. Instead, they have tacitly given her a portion of the pie—even though they had no prior communication about this.
Now when people have great hatred towards goblins, Ms. Marasia has become their savior.
It can be said that all the people of Xingtian miss the era of Malacia!
What people don’t know is…
This "Ms. Marasia" was once Ms. Sprengel's junior and student.
But at this moment, Master Walter realized something else.
—Where is Dr. Levitra?
This meeting... not bringing him along?
Update!
I'm going to take a day off on the 28th to rest...
