Chapter 473: The Uninvited Guest (Part II)
Star Chamber of Commerce.
Stepping out of the carriage and looking at the slightly dilapidated building in front of him, Jenn snorted softly and looked ahead. Feeling his gaze, the faces of the two guards standing at the door turned white with fright, and they clenched the spears in their hands and stood there trembling, not knowing what to do for a while.
"This is it?"
"This is it, master."
"Good."
Hearing Enoa's words, Jenn nodded, and walked towards the interior. Seeing him coming, the two guards standing at the door hesitated for a moment, but in the end, they stepped forward, and then saw a slightly older guard take a deep breath and ask.
"Please, may I ask if you are ..............."
"This is the lord of Passus, Jenn. Lord Pashanonmens. ”
Hearing the guard's inquiry, Alice immediately replied with a smile. Hearing the maid's answer, the two guards trembled even more, and almost fell to the ground. And the younger guard took two steps back and leaned against the wall, almost sitting on the ground in fright! And the older guard, although not as obvious as the idiot next to him, was also stiff.
Sure enough, it came!
As early as after the failure of the previous commission, the people in the Star Chamber of Commerce who knew the inside story knew that this time was over, and the business with the nobles was not so easy to do. Although they are generally generous, they are not as calculating as others in terms of price. But what the nobleman wants is not money but face, if you do the entrusted thing well, he will naturally be satisfied, if you do it badly, then you will not be able to eat and walk around. Because for a nobleman, if you mess things up, you say that he has seen the wrong person and has not seen people to make good use of them, which is much more serious than losing a large sum of money. In the past, the Star Chamber of Commerce also took over the task of the Soros family. At that time, those who had an accident were either beaten and driven out, or they were sent directly to the Soros family to be tortured to death.
And the prestige of the Pashanon family is a hundred times more than that of the Soros family, at least the Soros family is not so bold to dare to go directly to the capital of the Shining Gold Empire to force His Majesty the Emperor to retreat, this story is a household name in the Eagle Plateau, and hearing that the legendary characters in this story actually appeared in person at this moment, it naturally made these guards feel a lot of pressure. This is also why, after hearing that it was the Pachanon family that they had offended. The reason why the people of the Star Chamber of Commerce suddenly slipped away.
But now, since the other party has come to the door, then I can't help but express something on my side. Thinking of this, the older guard also hesitated slightly, and then forced out a smile and spoke.
"I didn't expect the lord to come in person, I'll go and inform the master now, please wait a moment."
As he spoke, he glared at the young guard.
"Go and report to the eldest lady, go quickly!!"
The young guard hurried forward to report the news. The older guard respectfully led Jenn and the others into the living room, although logically speaking, he could only do so after his master had agreed. But after all, Jenn's identity is different, and with the current situation of the Star Chamber of Commerce, it is obvious that he is not qualified or brave to dare to be the master in front of Jenn, so he simply invited Jenn and the others to the living room, and not long after they sat down, they saw a rush of footsteps. The next moment, the door opened. Then a young girl and an old man in a housekeeper's uniform walked in.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Jenn couldn't help but squint his eyes and look carefully. I saw that the girl in front of me was tall and slender, looking quite similar to the model in Jenn's world, a delicate and beautiful face with a vigorous and heroic spirit, and under the black wavy curls and green eyes, it looked like an exotic charm. But what surprised Jenn even more. He could clearly feel that the girl in front of him was following a peculiar rhythm when walking, which showed that she had practiced combat skills, but she didn't know what type she belonged to.
This is really strange, a lady of the Chamber of Commerce can actually fight?
Just as Jenn looked at the girl in front of him, the other party was also looking at him.
As the eldest lady of the Star Chamber of Commerce. Naturally, the girl had heard a lot of rumors about the lord of Passus, although she also thought that most of them were exaggerated. But when she really saw Jenn, the girl realized that what she had heard was probably far more than she had imagined.
When she walked into the living room, the first thing the girl noticed was not Jenn, but Enoa and Alice standing behind him on the left and right, after all, they are both women, so they are naturally more sensitive in this regard. And after seeing these two girls, the eldest lady suddenly couldn't calm down. Although Alice, as a maid, does not have any special dress, she is still wearing her blue and white maid dress, but the whole person looks petite and cute, even if she sees it, she can't help but want to go up and hold her in her arms and make love.
As for the luxuriously dressed lady, not to mention, although she was smiling and looked quite kind, but at the first glance of seeing her, she felt a strong sense of coercion, you must know that as the eldest lady of the Star Chamber of Commerce, she has also seen many celebrities, but she has never been able to make her feel discouraged by the first sight of her face.
The legendary Lord of Passus, on the other hand, was sitting on the couch and watching him. The moment she saw Jenn, the eldest lady couldn't help but be stunned. The first young man in his mind was -- why was he so young?
It's no wonder that Jenn is not yet twenty years old and looks naturally young. But after all, the story boasts about Jenn's deeds too mighty, so that even if it shows that the lord of Passus is a young man, in the impression of everyone, most of them should be twenty-five, six or seven years old, when he is young and strong, but he didn't expect to look closely, the young man in front of him seems to be less than twenty years old, and even a little older than herself, if she didn't know that the lord of Passus is not married, she even wonders if this young man is the son of the lord.........
However, since the other party had already reported herself, it was useless for her to suspect here, so the girl also hurriedly took a few steps forward. Then he bowed respectfully to Jenn.
"Hello, my lord, I'm Unicole from the Star Chamber of Commerce. Dana ......... ............ are you coming this time?"
"You should know very well what I'm doing here this time, Miss Dana."
Before Yunacle could finish speaking, Jenn held out a hand. interrupted her.
"I have deep sympathy for what happened to President Dana. Miss Dana, but I tell you that anyone who dares to do anything to our Passus will be punished. I don't care if this attack was an inside story or an accident, no matter which one it is, the guys who stole my goods don't want to get away with it. I will let them know how unwise it is to provoke our Pachanomens. ”
At this, Jenn paused, then looked at Yunacle again.
"If I remember correctly. Miss Dana seems to be involved in this escort mission? ”
"Yes, my lord."
In the face of Jenn's aggressive momentum, Yuniku also felt that she was almost out of breath for a while, although Jenn did not speak fast and her voice was not loud. But when he stared at himself and asked, Yunique felt a powerful momentum almost rushing over her, pressing her there so hard that she couldn't think much about it. It's like if you hesitate yourself. will be directly beheaded with the same sense of urgency and oppression.
"Good."
Hearing Eucole's answer, Jenn nodded in satisfaction.
"So you should know where the people who attacked you are?"
"This ..............."
Hear Jenn's inquiry. Yunique hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"I'm sorry, my lord, but we were attacked at night, and they were well prepared and outnumbered. So we don't have a lot of clues. And to be on the safe side, we chose the avenue where bandits are rarely attacked on weekdays........."
"In other words, the other party is not a habitual bandit in the neighborhood, but from somewhere else?"
"Yes............"
Yuniku lowered her head helplessly and answered in a low voice. But Jenn clearly didn't mean to let her go. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, glanced at Lencole, and then spoke coldly.
"As much as I would like to comfort you that it is not your chamber of commerce's responsibility, I will not do so, because you are not at all responsible. If I'm not mistaken, didn't you fly the banner of our Pashanon family when you were escorting supplies? ”
Hearing this, Yuniquee's face became extremely blue in an instant, and even the old butler behind her also changed his complexion at this moment. Generally speaking, when transporting things after accepting the commission, many businessmen will choose to hang the flag of the consignor. However, due to the importance of this incident, in order to avoid accidents, President Dana did not hang the banner of the Pachnonmons family after receiving the commission. And he himself actually didn't like this kind of behavior, because in the old president's opinion, if a chamber of commerce did such a thing for a long time, then it would be easy for others to directly link their chamber of commerce with a certain power. This is a rather fatal disadvantage for businessmen who need to be exquisitely sourced to make wall grass, so the general Star Chamber of Commerce escorts goods, even if it is to escort the goods of the Soros family, and rarely puts out the family flag. So now there are not many ordinary people who know the relationship between the Star Chamber of Commerce and the Soros family.
Of course, there are no hard and fast rules on whether to hang the family flag or not, generally speaking, some chambers of commerce choose to hang it, and some choose not to hang it. In the past, when the Star Chamber of Commerce didn't have an accident, there was naturally no problem in doing this. But now, as soon as something goes wrong, then they do it, and it immediately becomes a big problem.
"I'm so sorry!"
Hearing this, Yunacle also hurriedly lowered her head and solemnly apologized to Jenn. After all, Jenn was right, if they hoisted the banner of the Pachanonoms family, the other party might not have the courage to do something to them. But it's a pity -- there are no but ifs in this world.
"There is no need to apologize, it has already happened, and it is useless to apologize."
In response to Eucole's answer, Jenn just waved his hand lightly.
"I'm not here this time for your painless apology, I just want to know that there is such a big mistake, and the Star Chamber of Commerce should have something to say."
"This ..............."
Hearing this, Yuniku was dumbfounded for a while, to be honest, before coming, the girl still thought that she would pay herself to the other party if she couldn't do it. After all, she is also a well-known beauty in Solid Rock City, and there are not a few people who covet her beauty. But after seeing Alice and Enoa, Yunacle wisely retracted the idea. The war between women is cruel and merciless, and just by looking at them, Yunecle knows that she has been beaten and discarded and her armor is defeated. But now, what can she compensate for but herself?
Thinking of this, Yuniku hesitated for a moment, then she took a deep breath and spoke.
"I, our Star Chamber of Commerce are willing to submit to you, Lord Lord, if you want, we can compensate you with the entire Chamber of Commerce!" (To be continued......)
