"...It's okay, I made a mistake. You two keep eating and I'll add meat to you." Lu En sat down, but after thinking about it, he stood up again and nodded slightly to the old man.

"Sorry, I was impulsive this time. The United Chamber of Commerce is more reasonable than I thought. I will carefully consider the relationship with the Hall of Glow."

"It would be best if it could be like this. Boss lady, what do you think?" The old man stroked his beard. He was a little surprised by Lu En's reaction and asked the cook next to him for advice.

The two little guys were at a loss, as if what happened without them knowing?

And Lu En's mind started to spin.

Analyzing the current situation, first of all, I was deceived by Yura Hill. Nana and Bai actually just came over for a casual meal, and then accidentally bumped into the boss lady of the big market.

When he got on the horse and rushed here, he had already learned the information about the boss's wife from Urashir.

This is a very powerful person, but this is actually nonsense. In a big market where everyone is mixed, it is not easy to stand out.

She is a widow. Her previous husband was one of the four decision-makers of the United Chamber of Commerce. He was also the owner of a large market. He had rich real estate and was a timber merchant and architect. However, after a dispute with the city hall due to tax reasons,

During the violent conflict, her husband died from an accidental falling stone.

Whether it was an accident or not, Urathil didn't answer directly, but Lu En guessed it wasn't. After all, he was able to pass through a bunch of professional guards with luck, and he was able to smash people's heads with rocks with one shot. That was the ultimate coincidence.

.

After her husband died, the landlady took over her husband's business, including the Masons' Association, real estate in the big market, and the lumber business. After that, she launched a general strike against the city's construction industry, almost paralyzing half of the city.

After all, wood and stone are necessary for construction. She asked the city hall to expel the other party immediately, otherwise the Masons Association would not continue to serve the city hall.

The sudden general strike caught the Hall of Glory off guard. They simply did not have so many resources and manpower to take over the entire city's building materials market, so the Hall of Glory urgently mobilized a batch of building materials from other places and shipped them over to prepare to completely eat up this piece.

The market will make the other party pay for this wrong strike behavior.

The Hall of Glow judged that the woman had lost her mind because of her husband's death. However, just as the Hall of Glow was expending efforts to mobilize building materials——

Everything was ready for the Hall of Glow, but the Masons suddenly announced a settlement with the city hall and quickly settled the affairs and materials piled up from the previous strike at a discounted price.

By the time the building materials assembled by Glorious Hall from other places were shipped to the local area, the prices had plummeted and they were completely at a loss. With the high cost, there was almost no sales for normal sales.

In the end, they had no choice, because wood is easy to rot, and stone will grow moss if stored for a long time. In order to avoid serious losses, they can only sell it to the Masons Association at a discount, because the channels and customers of the Masons Association are their foundation. Hall of Glory

Even if there are goods, it is very difficult to sell them to the customers of the Stonemasons Association at that price, unless they are willing to discount more, but such a loss is unacceptable to the Hall of Glow.

The outcome of this open and secret fight was, of course, that the proprietress used her husband's death as bait to deceive the Hall of Glow and the City Hall at the same time, causing the Hall of Glow to suffer considerable losses. She also mobilized a batch of building materials from other places and sent them to

It came to the mouth of the Stonemasons Association, and the City Hall finally saw the potential and capabilities of the Masons Association and introduced a tax reduction policy.

It can be said to be a great victory for the proprietress of the big market.

Just from this deed, Lu En knew that this person must not be underestimated. She could even use her husband's death to make a fuss, and she did not show the slightest resistance. The layout was very careful and the timing was just right.

What a widow that makes people afraid to knock on the door at night.

Facing Lu En's apology, the old man burst into laughter, and then looked at the cook next to him: "Madam boss, what do you think?"

Lu En turned to look at the cook. What a coincidence? Nana and Bai randomly found a tavern to eat and met the famous proprietress of the big market?

He always thought it was impossible, but now that the matter was over, let's see what to say first.

The "proprietress" in front of her didn't look like a widow at all. On the contrary, she was very pretty, with a sense of kindness between her eyebrows. She had brown hair and was dressed in a simple cook's attire. It was not what Lu En had imagined.

That kind of dressing up.

He thought the proprietress of the big market was a beautiful lady wearing a gorgeous dress and veil, but he didn't expect that she was so approachable.

The cook poked her face with a finger, looking a little troubled, and said to Lu En: "I was deceived by Urathil, um... How should I put it, although it may have caused a lot of trouble, but when you came

You won’t hit anyone, right?”

After saying this, she immediately waved her hands to herself: "Oh, how is that possible? You look like a reasonable person..."

"Aili knocked him out and was on the street." The old man interrupted.

The landlady's smile froze.

"Just him?!" She pointed at Lu En and her eyes widened.

Lu En spread his hands: "Madam, what you said is very rude... However, for the sake of self-defense, I did take action here. Will it be difficult? Will there be different voices in the Joint Chamber of Commerce?" Lu En asked cautiously

road.

When Nana and Bai arrived here, although they didn't know what was going on, it was obvious that their master had already started talking to the people here about business. The two of them secretly ran outside with the stew pot and waited.

"Although we don't know your origin, we have all heard about your recent actions in the city. Urathil did not hide your affairs. On the contrary, she publicized that they welcomed a man with dragon blood.

Young Master, to be honest, you are now the focus of many forces in Lalante, but I did not take the initiative to contact you. This time our meeting can be said to be directly planned by Urahil. I hope you can

Understand this." The landlady sat down, wiped her hands with the apron in front of her, and considered her words at the same time.

Lu En frowned, he understood the implication of the other party's words.

The United Chamber of Commerce was not all in harmony. Urathil lured him over, and then created a conflict between himself and the Joint Chamber of Commerce.

But at the same time, the landlady and the old man in front of him knew the ins and outs, and there were different voices in the Joint Chamber of Commerce. Regarding him, a stranger who came directly to beat someone, and an outsider who had a close relationship with Urasil, he would definitely make a different decision.

and reaction.

At that time, the boss lady will either argue with them and try to persuade the different voices within the Joint Chamber of Commerce, but the result will be short-lived internal discussions or even struggles within the Joint Chamber of Commerce.

Either the boss lady just gives in for the sake of unity, chooses to stand with those voices, and squeeze Lu En out.

No matter what kind of consequences, Uraciel is happy to see it. The first one is that Lu En can be recognized by the Joint Chamber of Commerce, but it also slightly opens up the internal differences within the Joint Chamber of Commerce. Who knows what other back-ups there are?

Second, Lu En will completely fall towards the Hall of Radiance. This cannot be stopped by personal will. Even if Lu En hates it, he can only do this because it is driven by interests.

A small thing can be taken advantage of by the other party to this extent.
