Lawrence Vic!
The chairman of the chamber of Commerce in the free city, who has incomparable wealth and almost monopolizes the transportation industry in half of the continent, is worried about the super rich businessman who even the king of the country has to treat politely in the whole continent. The reason is that in the free city, which should have been their own holy land, there is a thorn that does not play cards according to common sense, and this thorn has recently made it clear that it is ready to squeeze into the top circle.
A big cake is now too few for three people to share. When there is a fourth person who wants to share the cake, it will certainly be hostile to everyone. The biggest part of the cake is divided by the big three. Other people can only be responsible for making the cake and eating some leftovers. This is the rule of the free city. For hundreds of years, many people really want to squeeze into the top circle, but no one succeeds, because if someone breaks the pattern, it is inevitable that the people below will have different opinions. So these people must be known who has the final say in the free city.
Croside, vice president of the ring of Blackstone chamber of Commerce, a young man in his twenties looks like a miracle ~ no! It should be said that it is like a young businessman who has risen rapidly at a miraculous speed. He saved a chamber of Commerce on the verge of bankruptcy, and then developed the chamber of commerce into a behemoth in a very short time! I have to say that this kind of person is really a genius favored by the gods. Even Lawrence has to sincerely praise the performance made by croside over the years. This young man is really great. If his sons have half his ability, he should be able to safely give them his seat!
However, croside is not Lawrence's son, nor does he want to become Lawrence's son. Even the powerful businessman even hinted that he wanted croside to join his family, and even was willing to marry his favorite little daughter to the young man who was once unqualified to even meet himself. However, the answer given by the other party was still not interested!!
At the thought of this, Lawrence admired croside's reckless momentum. At first, Lawrence thought that kloside was only young and vigorous and was not interested in his opinions. However, when he learned that kloside was disdainful, Lawrence felt that it was really necessary to teach the young man a lesson and let him figure out who was the maker of the rules and who was the obedient to the rules!
However, everything is not going well
Lawrence had his identity investigated. It was obvious that the young man's identity was too mysterious. He only knew that he originally came from a small town in the karlseman empire. There is no parent information, no family information, no new place of original residence, as if it appeared out of thin air in this world. Of course, it does not rule out that he may be an orphan, but this means that a person who has no blood relationship in the world has no weakness except himself. Other economic means are not as effective as expected. In order to maintain the special status of free cities, there are no so-called economic sanctions in free cities. Lawrence can only secretly exclude the ring of Blackstone chamber of Commerce and conduct malicious competition against it. The black stone ring chamber of Commerce, led by kloside, can always seize the opportunity first. Up to now, the whole chamber of Commerce has expanded from the initial spices, daily necessities and food to all aspects. Even in the recent war between the karsermen Empire and the kreises Kingdom, the black stone ring chamber of Commerce replaced another weapons merchant and became a supplier of both sides.
In addition to economic means, Lawrence also thought of some other methods. For example, the accident caused the talented young man to abdicate early. However, the problem is that this method may still be used when kloside was still unknown in the early days, but now the ring of Blackstone has been squeezed into the first tier of the big chamber of Commerce, only one step away from the top, and kloside also has a great reputation in free cities and the whole continent. If he dies "accidentally" now, it will inevitably attract criticism from others.
Lawrence is not afraid of criticism or punishment, but this is bound to destroy the good business atmosphere in the free city. It is an unwritten tacit understanding that the upper chambers of commerce can only compete by commercial means, which seriously weakens the command of the upper to the lower in order to avoid mutual violence and destruction, Once the assassination begins, people will be afraid of becoming the next victim. It may even lead to the normalization of assassinating opponents and serious chaos in free cities. Although free cities are chaotic, chaos and disorder can only appear among the victims of the lower class.
The upper rule must keep a high pressure on the lower. Only in this way can we maintain the stability of a free city.
It might be better if croside died outside the free city, but the problem is that the Heiyao mercenary regiment subordinate to the ring of Blackstone chamber of commerce is also a very troublesome existence, especially Rogge, the head of the mercenary regiment, is also a very powerful soldier! The Heiyao mercenary regiment led by him repeatedly defeated a large number of robbers and mercenaries disguised as robbers. The process was cruel, bloody and frightening! So far, the only thing Lawrence can think of is to let gerkate pick him up, but the problem is that gerkate has a good relationship with croside, and it's too conspicuous to use the champion of the arena.
So so far, it has been impossible to weaken kloside from external means. Lawrence can only place his hope on finding loopholes inside the ring of Blackstone to destroy. Lakshmi, President of Blackstone chamber of Commerce, is a suitable candidate. His power is weakened by croside, which leads Lakshmi to become blind. In order to regain his power, this man began to pursue the assistance of external forces at all costs.
Many times, in a team, there are always some people who think they are right and think that 'if I were you, I would do better'. However, this kind of talent is the black sheep of the whole team. The stupid king of kreises kingdom is one. He framed his sister for a sad quarrel of sentiment and ruined the national fortune of the whole country. Lakshmi, the president of the black stone ring chamber of Commerce, is also such a person in Lawrence's eyes. Recently, Lakshmi's hand has restrained some of croside's energy. Lawrence finally took the time to go to the Saxony Kingdom and took this excellent opportunity to take the country's mineral mining rights into his hands.

The fully enclosed airship with streamlined appearance is soaring in the air. As a new generation of airship, even the cold wind in the polar region can not affect the normal flight. However, the cost and cost of this fully enclosed airship are too high to be popularized for transportation services.
In the airship, Lawrence, the president of the chamber of Commerce of the free city, is sitting quietly to recuperate. Beside Lawrence, a black haired woman with a half silver mask is quietly leaning against the window and looking at the scenery outside. The woman's crawling is slightly dark. The nails and lips of both hands were completely painted black, emitting an ominous smell like a completely dark thing. Although wearing a robe that almost covers the whole body, every time a woman moves her neck, she inadvertently reveals a strange tattoo on her shoulder, which is like a strange insect mixed with spiders and scorpions.
"Mr. Lawrence, we are about to arrive at the king's capital of Saxony kingdom. Just because there is no special stop in Saxony Kingdom, we can only land outside the scheduled city." The middle-aged magician with a level 14 badge whispered in Lawrence's ear.
"It's time to integrate into the world."
Lawrence opened his eyes and said something that puzzled the mage. Then, with the help of several half elf maids, Lawrence slowly stood up.
The airship landed in a specially designated area outside the capital of Saxony. Lawrence's identity is no small matter. Even the Saxony Kingdom dare not neglect this big man who has a head and face on the whole continent. At least for the time being, the welcoming officials and motorcade led by grand duke Maurice were already ready. After Lawrence stepped out of the airship, grand duke Maurice personally greeted him.
"Welcome to the kingdom of Saxony, Mr. Lawrence! Sorry, your majesty is old, so I have to meet you."
"Hehe ~ where, where, I'm just a businessman. It's my honor to be greeted by Archduke Morris."
Lawrence's expression is quite kind. In the eyes of ordinary people, he is a businessman who holds huge wealth and power but is still approachable. However, grand duke Morris knows very well that it is not a good person to be able to sit as the chairman of the chamber of Commerce in a free city for so long.
The two exchanged a few polite words, and Prince Morris did not waste time in the same carriage with Lawrence and entered the king's capital under the escort of the cavalry. Due to the recent large-scale search and arrest of evil believers, in order to ensure safety, there are heavy soldiers on the way to the palace. Unimpeded arrived at the palace, and the carriage team began to drive into it one by one. Although Lawrence came to visit this time alone, the entourage still brought a lot. The Saxony royal family has arranged accommodation in the palace to ensure that there will be no problems during Lawrence's visit.
However, when an attendant's carriage drove into the palace, the black haired woman sitting on the horse suddenly seemed to be stimulated, and her eyes were sharp in an instant, because the woman suddenly felt as if some fierce and terrible sight had stopped on her. However, when she turned her head and looked out of the window, the woman found nothing wrong except the guards on duty around her. But the feeling just now is not wrong. It is a unique perception. There must be something terrible lurking in the palace of Saxony kingdom. It was like death put a sickle around his neck. And the other party has issued a warning through the sight of the moment just now, warning himself that he had better not act rashly!
For a moment, the woman suddenly felt that Mr. Lawrence's negotiation had better go smoothly. If possible, she really didn't want to use any ability.
When all the horses entered the palace, the guards guarding the gate immediately closed the gate. On the wall pier, a guard was looking at the fading horse convoy.
"Magic Puppet Master"
The guard tilted his head and muttered, "I thought this technology had been lost? Is that woman the \
