The Original Vampire

Businessmen’s Gathering (Part 1)

Winter City.

As the most famous tavern in the east of the city, the “Butter Tavern” declined a large number of patrons today.

“Huh? Why can’t we let him in when he can?”

At the door of the tavern, the young drunkard who was stopped by the waiter pointed at the guest who had just been welcomed in and asked.

The waiter politely explained: “I’m sorry, but the gentleman just now has an invitation.”

“So, your tavern is booked today?”

“Yes.”

The drunkards suddenly made a noise and vented their dissatisfaction. but no one dared to really rush in.

As regular customers of the “Butter Tavern,” they all know that this pub has a profound background. It is said that the owner of the pub has a close relationship with the noble master in the castle on the top of the mountain.

In this way, who dares to make trouble here? Doesn’t he want to live in the north?

After the drunkards dispersed, the tavern welcomed two dark-skinned guests.

The two have similar faces, and they are brothers at first glance.

Moreover, the dark skin color showed that the two of them had been traveling abroad for many years. Coupled with the wealthy but tacky temperament that could not be concealed, the attendant basically judged that these two people should be doing business all year round, and most likely they were tonight’s guests.

Sure enough, one of them took out the invitation and handed it to the attendant.

The attendant glanced at it and immediately opened the door respectfully, saying: “Welcome, Mr. Oliver, Mr. Alma.”

Brother Oliver then walked into the tavern.

There were already hundreds of guests gathered inside. Looking around, Oliver found that most of them were familiar faces.

“Mr. Oliver!”

Before the two of them got familiar with the environment, a bunch of people came up to say hello.

Oliver seemed to have expected such a scene, and immediately put on airs, put on a reserved smile, and dealt with the people who came.

Oliver was not actually the organizer of this gathering of merchants in the North, and the Tulip Chamber of Commerce was not the most powerful force in the North.

Especially after the Uman family suffered a big change, businessmen who knew the details of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce no longer looked favorably on this chamber of commerce.

However, this situation suddenly took a 180-degree turn recently.

The reason is also very simple.

The businessmen discovered that Mr. Oliver, the little-known new president of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, was actually familiar with Count Angele!

In fact, there have been rumors that Oliver and Count Angele are familiar with each other for a long time, but it was not until recently that Count Angele specially sent a message to the major merchants in the north through Oliver that everyone was finally convinced of the authenticity of the rumors.

As a result, Oliver and the Tulip Chamber of Commerce suddenly prospered overnight.

“Mr. Oliver, is the St. Hilde family really planning to borrow money? How much are they planning to borrow?” ”

Mr. Oliver, will Count Angele also go to Silvermoon City this year to conduct centralized food procurement?” ”

Mr. Oliver, troll can you please ask Count Angelet to release another batch of the empire’s tax exemption quotas?”

“Mr. Oliver…”

Various questions came one after another, and Oliver didn’t know how to answer them for a while, so he had to put a smile on his round, fat face. He smiled politely, pretended not to hear everyone’s questions clearly, and just kept shaking hands and greeting the businessmen around him.

Ding ding!

In front of the bar, a middle-aged man with a big belly knocked on the goblet in his hand. After everyone’s attention was focused, he said loudly:

“Everyone, your enthusiasm is almost scaring Mr. Oliver, so please exercise restraint.” Just a moment!”

The people surrounding Oliver dispersed with laughter.

To be able to make so many businessmen so “obedient,” this middle-aged man certainly has an extraordinary status.

“Mr. Arnold!” Oliver walked a few steps quickly, came to the bar, and shook hands with this person cordially, “Thank you for inviting us to come to this event!”

This Mr. Arnold is the organizer of this business gathering, and he is also the organizer of this event. The owner of the Butter Tavern, of course, has a more prominent identity as the president of the North Wind Chamber of Commerce.

The North Wind Chamber of Commerce has always had a close relationship with the St. Hilde family. There are even rumors that this chamber of commerce was actually funded by the St. Hilde family, and Arnold was just a white glove who was pushed to the stage.

Over the years, Arnold, under the banner of the St. Hilde family, has indeed become a powerful influencer and a prominent figure in the northern business community. At this time, when the Northern Merchants Federation was formed, Arnold naturally responded to the request, and almost all the prominent merchants in the Northern Territory were present.

“Mr. Oliver, Mr. Alma, it’s my honor for you to come to this event! Please take a seat and taste the champagne that I have treasured for many years. Our meeting will begin soon.”

Brother Oliver agreed with a smile, and was then led by the attendant to sit down at a round table near the front.

After Arnold’s interruption, all the businessmen realized that this meeting was mainly to discuss the formation of the Northern Merchants Federation, not a loan meeting of the St. Hilde family.

Therefore, everyone had to suppress the heat in their hearts, stop pestering Oliver, and prepare to ask the other party carefully after a while.

After waiting for a while, the door of the tavern opened again, and a young knight wearing armor and carrying a sword walked in.

Now the tavern, which was finally quiet, became noisy again.

The businessmen whispered among themselves, wondering why there were knights attending this business meeting.

But some people recognized the knight’s identity and couldn’t help but turn their attention to Arnold.

At this time, Arnold stepped forward quickly and personally welcomed the young knight to the front desk. At the same time, he said loudly to a group of businessmen:

“Everyone, please allow me to introduce you. This is Sebas, the governor of the Senate.” The official’s eldest grandson—Knight Weber St. Hilde!”

Bang bang bang!

The audience burst into warm applause.

All the merchants were in high spirits. The appearance of Knight Weber confirmed the fact that Arnold was indeed closely related to the St. Hilde family. It seemed that the establishment of the Northern Merchants Federation should be the will of the St. Hilde family.

Only the two Oliver brothers had different expressions on their faces. They were whispering below and looking in the direction of the pub door from time to time.

With a reserved smile on his face, Knight Weber nodded to the businessmen in the audience.

In fact, he didn’t want to come here because, when he left Yulong City, his grandfather Sebastian had warned him to keep a low profile in the north, not to do anything that might anger Colin, and not to follow Bei Feng. The Chamber of Commerce has too many contacts.

But the young and energetic Weber had never been so groveling. In addition, the Beifeng Chamber of Commerce gave money and women, which made Weber, who had been aggrieved for a long time, re-experience the fun that a playboy should have, and he agreed while he was still drinking. Arnold’s invitation.

In his opinion, attending a business meeting was just a trivial matter and should not attract Colin’s attention.

Arnold looked at the changes in the faces of the businessmen in the audience and felt proud.

He did everything possible to invite Knight Weber to the venue this time, just to create an impression in the minds of northern merchants – the people standing behind the North Wind Chamber of Commerce are the Saint Hilde family!

It was by holding the banner of the Saint Hilde family that Arnold was able to prosper in the North over the years.

It was only recently that the changes in the Northern Territory were really dizzying, and the newly-emerged Count Angele seemed to have an unfriendly attitude toward merchants. Arnold then came up with the idea of ​​forming the Northern Territory Merchants Federation, hoping to borrow the opportunity. This integrates the merchant forces in the north to cope with the changes in the situation.

Just when Arnold was high-spirited and ready to deliver a speech, the door of the tavern opened again.

Arnold frowned, thinking that the indifferent businessman was late and was about to scold him, but when he saw clearly the heroic face of the man who walked in, he suddenly froze on the spot.

Knight Weber, who was already seated, immediately stood up, wiped the beer foam from the corner of his mouth, clasped his left hand on his chest, and stammered a salute to the visitor:

“An…Count Angelet!”

Colin strode into the venue, and said with a smile as he walked:

“Why didn’t anyone notify me of such a lively party?”
