In the headquarters of the Sith Chamber of Commerce, or to be precise, it should be called the Imperial Chamber of Commerce headquarters now.
This was because Harold had already handed the Chamber of Commerce of the Pine Family to Belek.
Now, Belek could be said to be successful.
The two major Chambers of Commerce that were originally on par with him were already being pushed to the brim by him.
The other two presidents of the Chamber of Commerce arrived outside the headquarters of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce at the same time, preparing to visit Belek, hoping that he would give them a way out.
After all, the presidents of these Chambers of Commerce did not want their many years of hard work and accomplishments to be destroyed in a day.
The presidents of the Chambers of Commerce stood outside the door.
In the ordinary world, they would not even look at the guard. Now, the two of them could only nod and bow with a smile.
"Brother, can you please go in and inform President Belek that Field and Pipes are here to visit!" A middle-aged man with gray hair looked at the guard at the entrance of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce and smiled ingratiatingly.
The guard was overjoyed when he saw the two unreachable figures bow in front of him.
As the saying went, when a person achieves success, everything related to him will ascend to the heavens. This guard had benefited from Belek.
"Do you have an appointment with President Belek?" The guard looked at the middle-aged man who asked the question and asked with his nostrils flared.
"An appointment?" The middle-aged man and the other old man exchanged a glance and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
The two of them were not fools. They naturally knew that the guard was making things difficult for them.
The middle-aged man was Field, the president of the Field Chamber of Commerce. The other old man was Pipes, the president of the Pipes Chamber of Commerce.
The two of them could be considered characters in the Storm Empire. If not because Belek had suppressed their Chambers of Commerce, the two of them would not have come to look for Belek even if they were beaten to death.
Now that they were being troubled by a mere guard, the two of them were a little angry.
However, resentment was resentment. The two of them were people from the business world. They were smart and did not reveal their feelings.
"Brother, look at us. We came in a hurry and didn't make an appointment with President Belek."
"Please accept this." Field took out a purse from his chest. The purse looked bulging and it was estimated to have thousands of gold coins inside.
The guard took the purse unceremoniously and put it in his pocket, but he remained where he was.
Field was dumbfounded.
He had seen people who took the money but did not do things.
However, at the very least, the guard should pretend to do something.
However, the guard did not even go in to report after taking the money. Instead, he continued to stand there and his action made Field furious.
However, even if he was angry, he still had a smile on his face.
He glanced at Pipes.
Pipes also took out a purse from his chest and handed it to the guard with a smile.
"Brother, please help us. Help us go in and inform President Belek that the two of us are requesting to meet him!" Pipes looked at the guard and said with a fawning smile.
The guard took the money bag and weighed it with his hand a few times. Then, he calmly placed it in his arms but still did not move.
At this moment, no matter how smart Field and Pipes were, no matter how happy they were, they could not help but reveal their unhappiness.
This was intolerable.
Their Chambers of Commerce was still around. Although they had been suppressed badly by Belek, they were still people of status.
Even if the Chamber of Commerce was really annexed by Belek, their properties were still worth hundreds of gold coins.
Now that the guard was looking down on the two of them, they were furious.
"Brother, you took our money and are not helping us. Are you looking down on us?" Field shouted angrily with a cold face.
The guard looked at Field and sneered. "President Field, do you really think you're the president of one of the three largest Chambers of Commerce in the Storm Empire?"
"It won't take long for President Belek to swallow up your Chamber of Commerce and Pipes' Chamber of Commerce."
"At that time, the two of you would just be two people with some money."
"And me?"
"I am the guard of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce headquarters. The imperial family is backing me up. In terms of status, I have a much higher status than you."
"Get your attitudes right if you want me to help you!"
"Do you think you can convince me with a few thousand gold coins?"
"Do you really think I'm a beggar?" The guard looked at Field and Pipes and laughed, not hiding the mockery on his face at all.
Hearing the guard's distorted reasoning, Field and Pipes were so angry that their eyes widened.
However, there was nothing they could do.
The two of them looked at each other and took out a bigger purse.
"That's our limit!"
"If you take our money, you have to work for us!" Field said in a deep voice.
The guard smiled and took the money bags from their hands, still calmly accepting it.
However, this time, he stepped aside.
"Go on in!"
"President Belek has already informed me in advance. He already expected the two of you to come, so that I don't have to make things difficult for you!"
"Since both of you are acting sensibly, you can go in and meet President Belek," the guard said calmly, looking at Field and Pipes.
The two of them nearly vomited blood from anger when they heard this.
As the presidents of two Chambers of Commerce, they were fooled by a guard.
The two of them took a deep breath to suppress the anger in their hearts and walked through the door.
The two of them walked directly to the hall of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
When the two of them saw Belek sitting in the hall, eating exquisite snacks and drinking fragrant wine, they wanted nothing more than to press Belek's face against the ground.
However, they only dared to think about it. They did not dare to really attack.
Moreover, the two of them had to smile and look at Belek fawningly.
"Gentlemen, please take a seat!" Belek smiled and looked at Field and Pipes.
The two of them looked at each other and sat down on a chair.
"What brings you two to me?" Belek asked, feigning ignorance.
"President Belek, I'll be straightforward!"
"Please give our Chamber of Commerce a way out!" Field looked at Belek and said.
"Give you a way out?" Belek sneered.
"The two of you are not newbies in the business world. Don't you know that the weak are prey to the strong?"
"I'll tell you today, there are only two outcomes for your Chambers of Commerce."
"The first is for the two of you to disband the Chamber of Commerce, take the remaining money, and leave a normal life."
"The second outcome is that your Chambers of Commerce will be annexed by me, Belek. There is no third option!" Belek's expression changed and he looked at Field and Pipes with a domineering expression.
The two of them did not expect Belek to be so heartless. For a moment, they were both stunned.
At that moment, a soft laugh was heard.
"How impressive, President Belek!"
