Late at night, a carriage was racing through the streets in the imperial city.
In the carriage, a girl was sitting on the floor of the carriage in shock. There was still a lot of blood on her body, but it was not her own blood.
Although she was not injured, her hand was holding a short sword tightly and her whole body was shaking.
Outside the carriage, an old man in his sixties was sitting in the driver's seat, also covered in blood. However, the blood on his body was both someone else's and his own. The old man's face was pale, and he was swinging along the swaying carriage, which was obviously on the verge of collapse.
It's like he will die at any time.
Behind them, it was obvious that some figures were chasing the carriage. Although the carriage was very fast, the people chasing them were also very fast. It was obvious that the people chasing them were warriors.
The girl in the carriage is an acquaintance. She is Lucy Fidelman, the current president of the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce, who has just been appointed as the vice president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, she was obviously being hunted. The girl was also extremely panicked at this time, and she completely lost the calmness she had when she faced President Coxsackie before.
Obviously, the current situation has exceeded her expectations, and she did not expect that the people on the opposite side would dare to be so rampant and dare to do such things in the imperial city.
Although the people at the back did not report their families, Lucy had already guessed the identity of the other party. These people were not Coxsackie's retainers, nor were they sent by other chambers of commerce.
Because she heard clearly just now that these people were talking about catching her, not killing her. If it was the people from the Chamber of Commerce, they obviously just wanted her to die at this time.
But if this group of people wanted to capture her alive, it was obvious that only one person would do that.
That was the man who had just met her, Count Miran.
Yes, Lucy had just come out of Count Miran's mansion and was attacked on her way back. And the reason why Count Miran arrested her was very simple. It was none other than the onset of LSP's attributes.
I just want to take her back to bed with her.
When they just met each other, the LSP had clearly expressed this intention. Of course Lucy directly refused.
It’s not because Count Milain is already half an old man in his fifties, nor is it because Count Milaan’s daughters are already older than her, and his wife is not dead yet. This guy just wants to sleep casually.
, don’t want to be responsible at all.
The reason why Lucy didn't agree was because Count Miran was most likely the culprit who killed her father.
Yes, this is actually the reason why Lucy took the initiative to meet Count Millane. She wanted to know whether Count Millane was the person she was looking for who killed her father.
Although President Coxsackie was not the murderer of his father, his information was slightly better informed than hers, and Lucy also found out the name Count Millane from Coxsackie.
Of course, Lucy suspected that he did not believe Coxsackie's words, because he did remember that his father mentioned this name before his death, but she was not very clear about the situation, and his father did not tell her.
If Coxsackie hadn't mentioned this name again, Lucy obviously wouldn't have thought of having anything to do with this person.
Lucy obviously wanted to investigate this matter. Her original plan was to become the president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce. She would definitely have some power by then, and she would then find a way to investigate her father's death.
But now that I suddenly have a clue, I can't wait any longer.
So Lucy contacted Count Miran.
Of course, under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that a noble like Count Milaan would go to see a businessman. However, he does have something to go to the Chamber of Commerce for now.
What Earl Miran wants to do is to find a treasure.
Just a few days ago, I received secret news from my little daughter who had just given birth. The current queen and the former queen Yalan hinted that he should prepare a music box when preparing a gift for the first-year banquet, and it must be composed of Tianniao dance.
music Box.
Naturally, Earl Miran immediately understood what it meant, and then of course he was ecstatic.
Since Queen Yalan hinted at them, it naturally means that she has chosen them. Then they are naturally about to take off.
Count Milaan did not expect that his family would get such an opportunity, so naturally this matter could not be delayed.
Although he had already started preparing gifts before, he really hadn't prepared the music box yet. Of course, there was nothing he could do about it, because the news had just arrived.
After all, it is a gift dedicated to the Crown Prince, so of course it cannot be something casual. The Sky Bird Dance is a very popular dance music in the empire. It is basically played at every dance. This kind of music box is naturally not uncommon, but it is also
It's impossible to just buy one and send it away.
Time was urgent, there were only four days left, and the gifts had to be delivered one day in advance, so he only had three days left to prepare the gifts.
So Count Miran immediately contacted several chambers of commerce in the city. After all, businessmen only know how to mess around.
And Lucy here also found the opportunity at this time. She had been thinking of a way these days, but unfortunately she couldn't even see Count Miran. She was worried, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come by itself.
Then she naturally had to seize the opportunity. Not only did she help Count Miran find something, but she also delivered it to her door in person.
Earl Miran was obviously in a very good mood, because he was quite satisfied with the things, which naturally meant that good things were about to happen. After the first-year banquet, everyone knew that he had established a relationship with the royal family. Wouldn’t the Miran family take off directly?
Once this person is proud, it is easy for him to become arrogant. Originally, Count Miran was not so arrogant in his actions, but things are different today. Now, their family is not just an ordinary count family.
I believe that many nobles in the city should have received the news at this time. Who will dare to mess with their Miran family from now on.
As a result of this success, he suddenly felt that the President Lucy in front of him became more and more pleasing to his eyes. He didn't pay attention to what was happening at the Imperial City Chamber of Commerce at all. This was also the first time he saw Lucy. His previous attention
I focused all my efforts on the music box. After all, it was important. Now that I was satisfied with the things I had seen, I noticed Lucy again and was hooked on it.
Earl Miran didn't make any detours, he almost made it clear to Lucy that he wanted her to stay tonight. The other party was just a businessman, he was a nobleman, and he was interested in her to give him face, so what else was needed to express or imply anything.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually refused, and he refused in person. This was completely disrespectful to him.
