Things from Another World

In the study, the atmosphere was very dull.

"Welcome, welcome, my friend."

Frank stood up, his enthusiasm was impeccable, but unfortunately no one could see anything from his narrow squinting eyes.

"Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a while, right? Come and **** new tea here, which is cliff rock tea from the Rennes Empire. The flavor is very unique."

Aubrey and Adrien are not stupid, and of course they will not be deceived by his enthusiasm: "You keep it for yourself. Why should we know why we are here?"

Frank made a move and sat back again and said with a smile: "I don't know, can you just say it briefly?"

"playing dumb."

Aubrey sneered: "Your family owes our little friend two million gold coins, but I heard you don't want to pay this money?"

"Two million gold coins? Arrears? I don't know at all!"

Frank seemed surprised: "Furthermore, if this really happened, only two million gold coins, how can you think that we are unwilling to pay? Can't our Kadir family be short of two million gold coins?"

Before waiting for them to speak, Frank said casually: "It's just that I didn't expect that the two million gold coins would be worthy of the two dukes to come together ... Grand Duke Foyle, Grand Duke Bollett, Are you running out of money? May I lend you some? "

Frank's casual, casual attitude annoyed both Aubrey and Adrien, but he was speechless.

Unlike the Kadir family, the Foyle and Bollett families are economically strained. Although they both have some family businesses, they can't compete with the aristocracy in terms of business, so their annual net income There are only millions of gold coins-large families have large expenses, and these gold coins are just enough to maintain the normal operation of the family.

What about the Cadillac and Spade families?

They secretly control business alliances that remain neutral on the bright side, control 80% or 90% of the commercial routes of Illus, and control the pricing power of many raw materials, that is, they can completely control the economy of the entire empire.

The Kadir family runs most of the magic crystal mines of the Illus Empire. The domestic pricing power of this very important magic material is in their hands.

The Spade family not only controls the aristocratic council, but also controls 60% of the magic metal mines of the Illus Empire, more than 90% of the ordinary metal mines, and dozens of plantations, which can produce a large number of plants every year. High-quality tea, coffee beans, red wine, expensive magic plants, and a variety of high-quality medicinal materials, even earn more than the Kadir family.

The annual income of these two families is more than tens of millions of gold coins, and the income of any one of them exceeds the income of the royal family of the Illus Empire.

The royals control the empire's military power, while the aristocrats control the economic lifeblood. Without economic assistance, the army cannot operate, and the protection of the army is lacking. The pure economy is just fragrant fat. Before the outside stimulus, no one wants to break the current balance.

Tang En suddenly said: "I don't think they need to borrow money, Lord Duke Cardill, I think we can deal with the problem between us first."

"Oh, you are Tang En."

Even Frank's eyes were invisible, but Tang En felt a weird look at himself from all sides, making him feel uncomfortable-the deliberately suppressed "Kirin Arm" was a little bit agitated.

"His Majesty Victor is said to have praised you, and even made the Baron an exception for you, granted the fiefdom, and given the status of Lord Ellington ... you are curious."

Frank raised his head, and at the first glance at him, Tang En frowned.

This squinting guy seems to have a smile on his face ...

He has a breath that makes Tang En very uncomfortable, especially with the help of Nora, Tang En can feel the breath of other people's life, obviously this person seems to be about to die, but the breath of life is extremely strong, almost It's a bit unusual.

"Your curiosity can be kept until later, can you settle the IOU first?"

Tang En took out the IOU signed by Duvier at that time and smiled and patted it on the table: "I think, as the patriarch of the Kadir family, will you not confess it?"

Frank muttered to himself: "Douvière ... well, yes, you killed that child ..."

A sense of crisis suddenly appeared, and Tang En's face changed slightly, and his cold eyes fell on Frank.

"Sorry."

Frank looked back, a wry smile on his wrinkled face: "I remember the child ... this is really a sad story."

"It's worth the sad little girls."

Although the sense of crisis disappeared, Tang En still stared at Frank coldly: "If Duvier was not mixed with the dark snakes, I would not kill him."

"So it is ... the dark snake ... ha."

Frank carelessly twisted the IOU: "Ah, is it because of the illegal occupation of the Brussels iron ore in Ellington by Duvie ..."

Apparently Frank was just an ordinary person, apparently he had nothing to do, but Tang En had a strange sense of danger on his back, so that he had to be vigilant.

But he found that the gold thighs of Aubrey and Adrian did not react at all. Why didn't they feel it?

... is it because of Nora?

Tang En glanced down at the little peas lying on the edge of the pocket and looking around.

The fairies are inherently able to discern whether others are good or evil, and they can also detect the malice in the other's heart. Do they, as the owner, have this instinct?

唰 ——

Nora suddenly stared hard at Tang En: [I just felt a very rude idea! Apologize to Nora! 】

[Nothing must be an illusion. 】

Tang En responded silently in his mind, and then looked at Frank with no expression: "This amount is the price I sorted out based on the mine's output rate, comprehensive production capacity and iron ore price fluctuations in recent years. I Think very reasonable. "

"Well……"

Frank played with a pen, and after a moment of silence, suddenly asked with a playful look: "If I don't plan to pay for this--"

"Oh!"

Before waiting for Tang En's hands, the already impatient Aubrey and Adrien suddenly took a step forward, patted them on the table with one palm, and the sound of the hard solid wood desk turned into fragments.

"Don't delay time!"

Adrian said very uncomfortably, "Hurry to checkout!"

"Don't challenge my patience!"

Aubrey sneered, "To be honest, if Her Majesty Victor had been restraining me, I would have wanted to pinch you asshole."

"Oh? Are you going to turn your face with me?"

Frank looked at Aubrey very indifferently. "Can you represent Her Majesty Victor?"

"I--"

"old man!"

Adrien interrupted him: "Calm down! We're helping Tang En accountable-that's all."

"Humph!"

Aubrey squeezed his fist: "Hell, power struggles and steady development-it's easy to kill this guy!"

"So, you can only be a reckless man on the battlefield."

Frank took a teacup and took a sip, and said without hesitation, "And I can sit at home and earn all the money from the Empire."

Aubrey was furious again: "Damn, I want you to apologize to the soldiers who spared their lives to protect their homeland!"

"Aubrey!"

Adrian shouted, "Calm!"

Adrian apparently saw it more clearly than the impulsive Aubrey. Frank obviously wanted to irritate Aubrey intentionally. Once Aubrey really did it, the royal family would undoubtedly be implemented and confronted The time will fall into the downwind.

Aubrey took a deep breath and controlled his emotions again.

Frank was a little sorry.

The Duke of Offense was beside him.

Frank's purpose was clear from the beginning. It was better to pinch Aubrey's handle, but if he couldn't, try out Aubrey's tolerance.

Unfortunately, Adrian was on the side, and both goals were difficult to achieve.

As for Down?

I'm sorry to say that, but Frank actually didn't take Down into consideration from the beginning.

How capable is a lord coming out of a backcountry?

In order to make two million gold coins, I personally go to the door and ask for accounts. How big can such a person be?

Not even the most basic tolerance can be achieved. Two aristocratic lords were killed just after taking office. What great thing can such an impulsive guy accomplish?

Even though it was Victor's favorite guy, or a newcomer to the royal family, Frank didn't look down on Tang En.

Frank put down his tea cup, signed his name on the IOU, and said lightly, "Isn't it just two million gold coins? Here you are. Wait for my housekeeper, and he will accompany you to the Star Diamond Bank transfer. Yes, when I assisted the poor in supporting the construction of Ellington. "

Help and Poverty! ?

Tang En's mouth twitched, but a very fake smirk appeared on his face.

Although Ellington is indeed very poor, Frank is a local tyrant and qualified to talk about poverty alleviation, but looking at his calmness, why is there always an urge to kill him immediately?

After closing the IOU, Tang En said meaningfully: "Thank you Lord Duke Cardil for your support, and hope that similar unpleasant things will not happen again."

"hope so."

Frank still looked like that smirk: "I'm also curious how far Ellington can develop ... I hope your Datang Chamber of Commerce will not encounter any accidents and die halfway."

Tang En's eyes narrowed and he smiled: "Thank you for your good words ... Two dukes, let's go to the housekeeper to transfer the money."

Aubry snorted and turned away.

Adrian stared at Frank, and after a moment he said in a deep voice, "Frank, you'd better not do anything small ..."

Frank said with a smile: "I don't know what you're talking about, Grand Duke of Offense. Do I dare to lie in front of you?"

"It's best to do otherwise, otherwise you will know how cruel the consequences ... don't force us to do it."

After leaving a threat, Adrian followed in the footsteps of Dunn.

"……cruel?"

In the unoccupied study, Frank suddenly opened his eyes, and in his eyes was dark, he said meaningfully: "I'm afraid you don't know at all, what is really cruel ...
