Realm of Power

Fatty and Jones Nellie came to the front hall and saw Duke Jones sitting on a chair in the front hall with a gloomy expression. Two middle-aged men in formal dresses were sitting in the guest seats. They saw Jones Nellie and Fatty walking in. Among them One stood up, looked at the fat man up and down with an unkind expression, and sneered at the corner of his mouth.

"This is Butler Harissa who has been in the limelight recently. I heard that you once applied for an unlimited trade pass at the Kyoto branch. This is a major matter related to the reputation of the business alliance. I wonder if you can let us see it. Take a look?"

"Who are you? You are not the deacons of the Business Alliance!" The fat man felt something unusual and asked in a bad tone.

"I have attended the Business Alliance Deacons meeting, but I have never seen you!"

"You have participated in the Business Alliance Deacons' Meeting!" The middle-aged man who stood up changed his face slightly. He knew that he might have really hit the iron plate this time, and he couldn't help but glance at his companion sitting next to him.

As a middle-level employee of the Business Alliance, I am very aware of the importance of the Business Alliance Executive Meeting. It is a top-secret meeting that only the Twelve Giants and some special heavyweights are eligible to attend.

"I am Richardis, the deacon of the Business Alliance in Kyoto. It's normal that you haven't seen me at the headquarters." Seeing his subordinates panicking, the middle-aged man next to him could no longer sit still and stood up with an arrogant expression. "I was just transferred from the Riva Cheze branch in the south this month."

"Isn't the deacon of Kyoto Qiyoke? When did he become you?" The fat man frowned slightly, and his tone became colder. He appointed Qiyoke, the former jewelry deacon of the headquarters. The appointment as deacon of Kyoto affairs was signed by him personally. Didn't he go through his own approval? Agreed, does anyone dare to change it without authorization?

"Deacon Qiyoke has something to go to the headquarters. I will be in charge of Kyoto affairs for the time being!" When the arrogant middle-aged man heard the fat man's words, his face froze unnaturally, and his tone suddenly became more friendly, thinking of the matter of coming to investigate this time. , I couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy about speculation, but thinking of the possible benefits, I had to put on a majestic posture.

"We have received many reports from businessmen saying that your Jones family has an unlimited trade communication certificate and has united with many nobles to form a huge caravan. As the deputy deacon of the Kyoto Department of the Commercial Alliance, I have to tell you I am skeptical about the trade communication certificate, because I know that the business alliance has not signed such a pass!”

"Deputy deacon!" The fat man curled his lips slightly inwardly, "Is that considered a figure?" The fat man knew that within the business alliance, there were often more than ten deputy deacons under one deacon, and only a few of them really held power. Most of the deacons only have a false title, on the same level as the so-called honorary directors in the company today, and are used to win over regular customers.

"I have no comment on your question!" The fat man said in an indifferent tone. "As the deputy deacon of the Kyoto branch, you have no right to ask about the credentials of senior customers. Don't you, as the deputy deacon, know this truth?" The fat man said again. He took out a white-covered document from his arms. It was the Level 5 Businessman Qualification Certificate personally signed by Si Duhan, the president of the Business Alliance. It slapped onto the middle-aged man’s desk. “If you really want to see it, I can only offer you this”

"Qualification certificate?" Seeing that the fat man only dared to take out the qualification certificate, Richardis thought that the fat man was guilty, and smiled more and more arrogantly, "What is the use of this thing? If you need it, I can help you get a hundred copies!" "My fingers didn't bother to open the qualification certificate, my eyes froze, and my whole body was obviously shaken.

Richardis, who had been arrogant just now, looked sallow now, with large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. The middle-aged man standing next to him also noticed something strange about Richardis, and couldn't help but look at Richard curiously. Reese took a look at the certificate and immediately stretched his neck, "His" and took a breath of air-conditioning, "Level 5 full qualification certificate!"

The borders inlaid with gold threads, the red seals of the Samour Governor's Palace, the Commercial Alliance Headquarters, the major freight trading stations, and the signature of President Si Duhan with an elegant and aristocratic signature all indicate this qualification. The authenticity of the certificate.

Level 5 shows that the other party has a high credibility. The full amount means that the owner of this qualification certificate has at least 500,000 gold coins in assets in Samor. The seals of the major forces indicate the other party's sphere of influence in the Samor area. This That's not what Richaris fears most,

The most terrifying thing is the first one, the red seal of the Samour Governor's Palace. It's so red that it makes Richardis flustered. It's not that I haven't seen high-level qualification certificates before, but this kind of seal is said to be personally signed by the Samour Governor's Palace. This is the first time I have seen it, which shows that, This qualification certificate is recognized by the Samor military. All the garrisons in Samor will send special military guards to the caravans with this qualification certificate. This kind of treatment is not to mention in Kyoto, even in Rivadin. I can count them on my fingers.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be a Level 5 qualified merchant. How rude!" Richardis looked flustered and quickly bent down to apologize. He handed the qualification certificate back to the fat man with respectful hands.

I am just a little guy running errands for others, so there is really no need to offend such a big shot. For someone with a deputy position like his, as long as the other party gently expressed his dissatisfaction and told the headquarters about today's illegal investigation, he didn't know which remote country he would be transferred to, and it would be too late to cry.

"I didn't expect that your status in the Business Alliance is so high!" Seeing the Deputy Deacon of the Business Alliance running away in panic, Jones Nelly couldn't help but sigh, "Looking at it now, saying that your level 5 qualification certificate is worth 100,000 gold coins is still an underestimate. "As an outsider, Jones Neely didn't know that the deputy deacon could be smashed if he threw anything casually at the Business Alliance Headquarters.

"Haha, it's nothing, these are just false names!" Fatty said with a wretched smile. False names are of no use to our own people. It's okay to fool outsiders. If he hadn't been very clear about the internal situation of the business alliance, he might have panicked. Hands and feet, the fat man said with an annoyed look, "But this incident does illustrate a problem."

"What's the problem?" Nelly Jones asked curiously. The fat man in front of her was like a mountain hiding countless secrets. Sometimes he was so smart that it was scary, and sometimes he was so foolish that he was almost a rogue.

But no matter how he changes, he always reveals his true colors at critical moments, making everyone tremble. If such a person is really a businessman, Jones Nellie would not believe it to death. At least, her father would not be able to pass the test, but Now the two of them are as good as wearing a pair of crotchless pants. Jones Nelly has already guessed that her marriage may fall on this person, which is why she made her bold words and deeds.

"In the morning, a mysterious woman appeared in my room, and then people from the Business Alliance immediately came to check our documents." Fatty analyzed, "If I guessed correctly, some force must be targeting us!"

"You mean that maid is with them!" Jones Nelly's face became extremely ugly. "That woman can..." Jones Nelly hesitated to speak, Princess Jiduweian appeared too much. It was a coincidence, and it still appeared in such a manner, so Jones Nelly had to believe the fat man's words,

"Is it the royal family?" Jones Nelly felt that she was about to collapse, but the fat man had no intention of letting her go. At this critical moment, more information would mean more certainty. It was obvious that Jones Nelly knew that person. It belongs to the maid, the fat man said sharply, "Have you ever thought about it, if we really take out that pass, I believe it will either be taken away by people from the Business Alliance, or stolen by that mysterious woman, one after another, one in the dark and one in the dark." , If the other party doesn’t have a black hand pushing behind him, I won’t believe him even if he is beaten to death!”

"Women?" Duke Jones finally heard that something was wrong. "What woman?" His tone expressed extreme dissatisfaction. As a victim of conspiracy theories, what Duke Jones is most taboo about is women, whether it is to spy on information or leak information. , there are always women’s figures swirling inside.

"Father! This morning, I was..." Nelly Jones whispered in the ear of Marquis Jones with a pale face. Duke Jones, who was already indignant, looked even more gloomy and terrifying at the moment, holding his fingers on the armrest. The grip creaked, and after a long silence, he hummed a few words from his nostrils, "It's the royal family again!"

"How's the situation?" As soon as Richardis and the two left the gate of the Duke's Mansion, a mysterious black carriage turned out of the hidden shadows. Marquis Dishak poked his head out anxiously, "The truth can't be found out. No?"

"It's terrible!" Richardis drooped his head, his mind went blank. He didn't even know how he left the Jones family mansion.

When Marquis Dishak asked, he didn't know how to answer for a moment. He couldn't say that he was scared. After a while, he responded.

"That fat man named Harissa is indeed a senior businessman from Samour. Regardless of whether he has the unrestricted communication certificate or not, I think he should be able to transport goods to Kyoto unimpeded."

"Hiss" Marquis Dixha took a breath. If this is the case, should his family consider joining in? This is a big and profitable business.
