Seeing Pompey suddenly become so approachable, Ruby turned her head and forgot just how oppressive he had been a moment ago.
Just like when she dared to make snide remarks about Nineveh immediately after leaving Void Zero, Ruby couldn't contain her curiosity when she heard that Pompey had some gossip. She pounced on the dining table, her eyes sparkling, and asked curiously:
"The businesses in the city are being aggressive. Tell me about it?"
Pang Pei looked up, frowned immediately, and turned to the class monitor beside him: "Your friend?"
"Classmate," the class monitor answered honestly.
"And who are the two behind them?"
“The director sent by my mother’s company to discuss business, and his assistant.”
At this moment, Fagar stepped forward and shook hands, saying, "Faga, Director of Investment Department. This is my assistant, Elaine. It's a pleasure to meet you. I heard that Mr. Pompeo is the overlord of the outer ring and has been very proactive in winning the title. He's truly impressive."
"It's a pleasure to meet you... You too, sir. You look so young, truly a hero among the young."
Pompey reached out and shook hands with Fagga for a moment, then let go, not caring that Eleanor didn't pay any attention to him.
Compared to politeness, he would much rather see progress in civility on the outer ring road.
So, Pompey continued, following Fagga's words: "It is not easy to stand out among countless talents, especially since you are so young... In comparison, my title of overlord is insignificant."
You can't say that.
Fagar slightly raised the corners of his mouth, seemingly quite pleased: "The one who wins the championship in the Hellfire Ride is called the [Overlord]. But not every Overlord is called [Pompey]."
"Before entering this city, my impression of the outer ring was that it was a wild and untamed place. It was full of rebels, gangs, and lacked any cohesion or technology. It was a complete mess."
As he spoke, Fagga's eyes deepened, his gaze fixed firmly on Pompey, and he encouraged him, "But after entering this city, I discovered that I had found the beginnings of civilization."
"But it's only in its nascent stage..."
However, the next second, Phaga was taken aback. Hearing Phaga's words, Pompey didn't seem particularly proud or elated. Instead, he shook his head with a wry smile and sighed heavily.
Pompey shook his head, staring at the wine glass for a long time. The transparent wine reflected his old age and his bitterness.
Finally, as the clock on the wall clicked, Pompey drank the bitter cup in one gulp.
Thump!
The wine glass slammed heavily onto the table!
"With towering trees standing nearby, how easy is it for this small sapling on the outer ring to grow?"
The towering tree... does it refer to Neo-Elid?
Fagga raised an eyebrow, poured a cup of wine for Pompey and himself, and pushed it towards Pompey:
“Mr. Pompey, that analogy is inappropriate. New Elito is not without wisdom. I admit that some merchants are as greedy as wolves; but there are also merchants who are willing to give up a portion of their profits and cooperate with the good.”
"Otherwise, we wouldn't be here, would we?"
"you're right..."
Pompey nodded slightly, took the wine that Fagga had prepared for him, but did not drink it as heartily as before, only taking a small sip.
"In that case, what about the subsequent cooperation..."
"In that case, let's talk about the difficulties of the outer ring road. Maybe we can do something small to help the outer ring road."
Pompeo wanted to get straight to the point and start discussing business.
However, Fagga interrupted midway, wanting to have a chat.
He's here to gather intelligence!
Once it is confirmed that the assassination was not Lucius's personal act, but rather a decision made by the entire Triumphs.
Well then, I'm sorry, but even if Pompey is the hope for the development of the outer ring, Fagar will still destroy him with his own hands.
Surprisingly, Pompey showed no displeasure at Fagga's interruption.
Or rather, he's gotten used to it.
When discussing cooperation with colleagues outside the city, you have to convince them first.
To discuss cooperation with local businessmen, you have to have several meals and listen to their conversations.
Pompey found behavior like that of Fagga to be normal.
So Pompey nodded and began to speak:
"As you all probably know, in the outer ring, or rather the old oil well area, the Fire Lake is our main energy site. Because our technology is poor, we cannot excavate cavities, let alone have the technology to build towers to extract etheric matter for our daily lives."
"The lake of fire is everything to us!"
