Reborn As a Pirate

Is this what you said that I will definitely see Ms. Xavier? Five pounds for a one-time conversation? What if the lobby manager didn't go at all? Or even if he did, did he not attract Ms. Xavier's attention?

She will try her best. Kolinski lowered his head, Her accent is native to Hartford. In the hearts of the locals, the two surnames Green and Tomilov carry great weight.

Okay, but where did you get so much money?

I sold the carriage, including the carriage and the horse, for a total of 27 pounds 6 shillings and 9 pence. I kept 7 pounds, so from the day before yesterday to just now, I am very rich.

Roy's face seemed to be dead: Colin, don't you know how to control yourself?

Money is meant to be used to solve problems, and as long as the problem is actually solved, there is no question of moderation, Kolinski explained. For example, we are about to meet Ms. Xavier.

Roy nodded with lingering fear: Fortunately, you are here with me. To be honest, I never thought that Ms. Xavier would be so difficult to see...

You should think about it, at least Mr. Green should tell you. Kolinski sighed, This time Ms. Xavier didn't simply come to Hartford as a guest, she officially announced a big project at the ball, and rumors It has been fermented for five days. Now the ambitious people in Connecticut are crazy about her plan, her time must be beyond her means, unless there is a great value, otherwise we will not be able to see her in advance.

We have significant value?

There should be. Kolinski pondered for a while, Although I don't know what it is, Mr. Green will send you out like this. I guess he must have found something, the kind that just let Ms. Xavier listen To you, we can see her things.

You actually guessed?

You guessed it, didn't you?

Aha. Roy stopped talking.

Seeger's exhortations before his departure kept replaying in his mind until they coincided with Kolinski's speculation.

The thing that impressed Carmen Xavier in Green's house was probably the entire Green Chamber of Commerce, so when she heard that someone from Green's house was visiting, Carmen would easily reject other meetings, looking impatient.

Roy gritted his teeth.

In the face of a huge difference in strength, the Chamber of Commerce is doomed to collapse... Is it?

...

a moment later,

Roy sees Carmen for the second time since the ball.

Different from the luxurious and aggressive fighting state at the ball, in her own reception room, Carmen became somewhat more approachable.

Her makeup became simpler, and she wore a beige dress, which made her look a little more friendly. There were Faraming and Sharon standing on the left and right, and she was not alone like she was at the ball.

What surprised Roy was Henna.

Through that ball, the whole of Hartford thought that Hannah was Carmen's personal maid. Although it is a strange thing to use a black man as a personal servant, there are moors in Spain, and it is not uncommon for Spanish nobles to use Moore's valets, and even Moore's relatives.

But in this room, Hana did not stand closest to Carmen as Roy imagined. She was leaning against the window in a dark golden smock, not trying to hide it, but it was almost integrated with the curtains.

This surprised Roy.

His eyes subconsciously found Haina, bumped into her, and swayed for a while. Haina sensitively caught this subtle change, and stood up in a blink of an eye.

Roy noticed her...

Hannah stood up, walked around the sofa, and blocked the two young men from the door.

Are you Bilony Green's child?

Yes. Roy trembled like a shudder, Roy Green, I came to visit Ms. Xavier at the order of my father.

Visit... Hana murmured, scanning from the top of Roy's head to the bottom of his feet, and then from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head.

Kolinski plucked up the courage to take a half step forward, just blocking Henna's line of sight: Ma'am, we have obtained Ms. Xavier's permission.

I know. The top hat and coat are hanging on the coat rack by the door. Come in.

Leaving behind this speech that sounded like the head maid, Hana turned and walked back to her window, looked at the scene outside the window, and returned to the previous state of being alone.

This series of changes made everyone at a loss, but the most unusual one was undoubtedly Carmen.

She gave Hana a weird look, but failed to find a chance to exchange glances, and soon looked back at Roy with a smile on her face.

You are the first person to notice her in these five days. In a way, you are excellent.

Yes...is it? Roy didn't understand what Carmen said at all.

Kolinski took off his top hat and coat, and carefully hung them on the coat rack. Roy quickly imitated the example, tidied himself up, and sat down stiffly opposite Carmen.

Ms. Xavier! He put a flat box and a note on the coffee table, Father wants to meet with you and talk about the future of Hartford and Connecticut.

Mr. Green has a great reputation in Hartford and throughout New England, and I've long wanted to have a talk with him.

Carmen exchanged greetings, and without instructions, Faraming walked away from her, and carefully checked the greeting stickers and prayers in front of Roy and Kolinski.

He inspected it for a full two minutes, and then with a click, pried open the box with a small steel rod.

A hard-sealed and gilded invitation letter was exposed inside, and the lace of [tectumque] was traced in Latin capital letters on the surface of the letter, which means sanctuary.

Carmen tilted her head puzzledly: Use the invitation letter for worship... Does Mr. Green want to invite me to visit his shelter?

No! Roy waved his hands hastily, Father said that this is an invitation letter to the world's top auction. Because the auction site is in a place called Shelter Villa, it is called the Shelter Hill Auction.

The Shelter Villa Auction... Carmen muttered a few times, Faraming, have you heard of it?

One of the top auctions in the Boston area, it is rumored that there is no official background, and the organizers rarely invite people from the business world.

Carmen straightened her waist with interest: It's interesting that people from the business world are rarely invited.

Roy quickly explained: Ms. Xavier, the letter is anonymous. My father said that he would attend the meeting with the letter. The organizer never pursued the identity of the participants. In addition, this letter was indeed not for my father. It was my father's friend in the Confederate Congress, and he couldn't spare the time, so the letter got into my father's hands.

Sounds like an interesting gift. Carmen waved her hand and told Faraming to put away the invitation. Sharon, when can we see Mr. Green?

Sharon picked up her writing tablet: Three days later, from 3:15 to 3:20 in the afternoon, that time is relatively free.

Then...

Ms. Xavier! Before Carmen could finish speaking, Roy interrupted her in an impolite voice, Ms. Xavier! Father wants to talk about a lot, and he hopes you can make more room for him. time!

More... Carmen glanced at Sharon in embarrassment.

Sharon wrote a few strokes on the clipboard and said, 3:15 to 3:30, this is the limit that does not need to cancel the appointment.

Roy's forehead was sweating: If possible, please cancel some irrelevant appointments...

Carmen looked at him calmly, calmly, neither kind nor malicious, her eyes were soft, but there was only emptiness in them.

It's impossible for me to turn down other insignificant meetings for the most insignificant one, Mr. Roy Green. She said suddenly.

Actually, I know why Mr. Green needs time, but it's really unnecessary. My team has conducted a comprehensive assessment of the Green Chamber of Commerce and calculated that it will take half a year and 300,000 pounds to acquire the complete you, but it will only take three months to make you go bankrupt. And less than £100,000.

More importantly, the assets of your Chamber of Commerce that meet our requirements are only 42%. The proportion of non-performing assets is too high, which also reflects the fact that your family is not good at business. Instead of spending time squeezing out the bubble bit by bit, let you go bankrupt. A once-for-all solution.”

So, thank you Mr. Green for the gift, but we don't need to talk. Carmen closed her eyes, Faramin, see off.

yes.
