Volume 1, The Wizard's World Chapter 22, An Unexpected Encounter
The palace of Kondra was very deep, and when he saw that the deterrent was not effective, he immediately withdrew his mental power, and then turned around as if nothing had happened, as if he had just discovered the three of Ian, with a very kind smile on his face: "Miss Felix, you are here today.
Does your family have anything else to explain?"
Jasmine's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and her shoulders were shaking slightly, as if she had spent a lot of energy. However, when she heard Condra's words, she still cheered up and looked at Willy nonchalantly, indicating that this
This time he is the protagonist.
Although Willy hated the other party's vicious behavior, he also understood the occasion. He stepped forward and said: "Pastor, we are here to discuss the trading ground with the Ax Gang. Please convey it to me on your behalf. In three days I will
I'll wait for you at Riley Company, and people from Miss Jasmine's family will also be present."
He paused and remembered that although he and his family had not been threatened in the past few days, more and more gangsters were causing trouble on the construction site, so he said: "Is it okay to wait for the outcome of the negotiations in three days? Let the Ax Gang
It's no good for anyone if the gangsters stop and delay the progress of the project, right?"
His words were unsubtle, no different than pointing at Condra's nose and telling your dog to stop.
After a long silence, Condra did not make any excuse. He finally smiled and said: "My lord, you will be happy." He didn't say anything else, but the smile in his eyes became more and more intense, which made people feel chilly in their hearts.
Originally, according to Willy's idea, he planned to rely on Jasmine's identity to exert pressure, and then put forward more demands to pave the way for subsequent negotiations.
But for some reason, when he saw Condra's eyes, he couldn't remember a single word. He could only look at Jasmine helplessly, hoping that the other party would make up his mind.
But Ian understood that Jasmine was not in a good condition right now.
He and Jasmine awakened at the same time, and their total energy and mental power were almost the same. He asked himself that without the witchcraft mixture, he would not be able to withstand Kondra's mental oppression. Even if his ability was enhanced after digesting the mixture, he is still
Somewhat exhausted.
Not to mention Jasmine who didn't drink the potion, she must be at the end of her tether.
So Ian took a step forward, blocking the eyes of Willy and Condra, and said with a decent smile: "We are very grateful for the pastor's hospitality. Next time we have the opportunity to welcome the pastor to visit Evan, we will treat you well. But it's very difficult.
Sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable today, we have to leave."
Ian stopped everything on his own, which made Jasmine feel grateful. In this state, she no longer had the energy to deal with the other party.
"That's such a pity." A trace of regret flashed across Condra's kind face, and then he showed a look of concern, "Our church has some research on medical skills, do you need my help?"
How can a dark wizard dare to let a light priest heal him? Is it because he doesn’t want to die quickly enough?
Ian didn't want to refuse, and then he looked past Kandra, suddenly showing a surprised look: "This gentleman looks familiar, have we met before?"
When he said this, Jasmine and Willy remembered that there was a fifth person present. Who could it be?
The believer of the Lord of Light stood up and turned around, and Ian saw Willy next to him shouting out his name in surprise: "Yewen!" His eyes were full of fear and uncertainty.
A flash of panic flashed across the face of the middle-aged man named Yewen, but he quickly calmed down and greeted him very naturally: "Willy, what a coincidence. Did you also come to the pastor for help?"
Seeking solutions is the practice of believers talking and praying to gods or priests to seek peace of mind. As a non-believer who tends to be a sickle-wielding person, Willy can only accompany his wife to the Dominican church for worship.
In fact, for some reason, he rarely set foot in any church, and why would he come to Carlos Church to find any solution.
Although he had made it very clear just now, Ye Wen was still pretending to be stupid, making it clear that he had something up his sleeve, so he said in a bad tone: "It just so happens that you heard what I just said, even though you only have 3% of the equity.
, but you are also qualified to come, I hope you will not be late."
It turned out that Ye Wen was still a shareholder of Riley Company. Ian took a deep look at him and remembered his appearance firmly in his mind.
Yevan subconsciously turned his eyes to Condra, but soon realized this, stopped abruptly, and said awkwardly: "I know, Willy."
Then he looked at Ian suspiciously, but found that he had no impression of this young man who claimed to have met him. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "Sir, have we met before?"
Ian stared at him and observed him carefully, then shook his head and said apologetically: "It turns out I made a mistake. I'm so sorry, sir." His eyes were sincere and sincere, and didn't seem to be fake.
Without waiting for the baffled people to think for more time, it was estimated that Jasmine would not need any support before taking the lead to leave. Before stepping out of the high threshold of the church, he tilted his head and reminded kindly: "Pastor, please don't forget about the negotiations in three days."
.”
After saying that, the figure quickly disappeared.
Condra stood there quietly for a long time, Yewen stayed behind him, and the two of them said nothing.
After a long time, the pastor's solemn voice sounded in the empty lobby: "What do you think of Ian?"
"Ian? Shouldn't we focus on Jasmine? The daughter of Marquis Yinguang is the biggest obstacle to this acquisition." Yewen looked at Condra, his eyes full of doubts.
The priest did not answer him because he knew that Yewen was not a wizard and would never understand that Ian was actually more of a threat than Jasmine.
People who can break through under pressure are considered geniuses. Many wizards died because they could not bear the pressure and suffered magical backlash. This kind of person is far more dangerous than a noble, especially when he becomes an enemy.
Condra was even a little glad that he was not a member of the group, and Ian could not be a true believer of other gods, otherwise he would become a serious problem sooner or later.
Wizards are also mortals. They just live in isolation, not isolation from the world, so they also need money to support their lives and research.
Condra knew this very well, and also understood that Ian was bound to win the Riley Company. The giant Phoenix was not impossible to deal with, but there was no need for people like Ian to make enemies at will.
A tiger cannot descend the mountain, but a lone wolf can roam thousands of miles across the ice without fear.
"Let Donald stop for a moment. Ian and Jasmine are obviously here for Conlia. Now that they have solved the weapon spirit, ordinary methods will not have any effect. They can only intensify the conflict. Let's wait and see for three days."
"In three days, if the identity of the person coming from the Felix family is important, do nothing. Completely listen to Willy and hide and wait for the opportunity; if it is someone who is insignificant, then let them know who is in charge.
The one who has the right to speak in the company.”
Condra thought for a long time and gave instructions to the people behind him, all with the premise of maintaining stability.
Yewen's eyes flashed with indifference and he asked: "Where's Kanglia? She deserves to die. All believers of the Dark God deserve to die. Let your ascetics kill her!" It didn't look like he was a subordinate of Kondra.
"A good shepherd dog will not drive away bad sheep on his own initiative. It is the shepherd's duty to make this decision. You just need to obey... Everything is for the cause of God. May everyone receive God's blessings.
mercy."
Condra was troubled. Yewen had always been impulsive. If he hadn't served the Lord of Light wholeheartedly and had a lot of business talent, he would have been dealt with long ago: "Don't be impulsive. The people from Norton Hill came here specifically for Conlia. We don't want to do that now."
It's possible to do it, and besides, her life was never part of our plan."
Ye Wen showed an angry expression and moved his lips. After thinking for a long time, he finally said nothing.
What Condra said is right, Conlia cannot die yet.
But... Yewen thought of a very important thing. He raised his head and asked: "What if Willy wants to expel me in the future? After all, he is the largest shareholder. Even if he secretly acquired all the shares of the other five companies, our combined
It’s only 42% and has no decision-making power.”
"Well... what about the other ten percent?" Condra asked displeasedly.
"There are wizards from the Sixth Division watching over the Viscount, so it's hard to make a move." Ye Wen wondered.
"Judgement...Okay, I understand."
…
After returning to the carriage, Ian's upright figure suddenly collapsed. He sat on the wooden carriage cover without any image to recover his strength. The confrontation just now was too exhausting.
Jasmine was in a similar situation, but years of upbringing did not allow her to do this, so she still sat on one side.
After resting for about ten minutes, Ian turned to look at Willy and asked about Ye Wen: "Who was that person just now?"
Willy didn't see anything from his expression and didn't know what his purpose was. After the scene just now, his impression of Yewen also changed, so he said without any concealment: "Yewen Timothy,
The shareholder of Riley Company, holding 3% of the shares, is also a well-known wealthy person in Appleton."
"How is your relationship?" Ian asked again.
Willy recalled the relationship between the two and felt that there was nothing wrong with it: "In general, I have no personal relationship with him and rarely interact with him in business. He is a coal businessman himself and owns a coal mine. There is no conflict with my business.
So everyone is just acquainted."
But after what happened today, he realized that the other party was interacting with others under a veil, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted: "I have never heard of his beliefs before. What happened today..."
No wonder he was surprised today, Ian suddenly realized.
Businessmen on the main plane rarely have clear and pious beliefs except for a nihilistic god of wealth. This is because businessmen who devoutly believe in earthly gods can often receive strong support from the Holy See to which they belong, and they can often develop and grow quickly.
He gradually became a vassal of the Holy See, relying on the Holy See's privileges to break rules and plunder.
Once they start to become successful, their ability to amass money will become stronger and stronger, and their methods will become more aggressive and tough, which can even be called sinister and sinister, causing most of their partners and competitors to lose their fortunes and ruin their families.
Therefore, most ordinary merchants will spontaneously reject such vassals of the Holy See and try to minimize cooperation with them to avoid being devoured.
Condra planned the lease contract in the hands of Riley Company, and even went so far as to murder Willy, the largest shareholder. This clear-cut behavior of the Holy See made Willy hate it.
Naturally, Yewen, who is suspected of being the Lord of Light, is not a good person. No wonder Willy is paranoid.
He has made up his mind in his heart, no matter whether this guy is a believer in the light or not, after this incident he will gradually take back his equity and sever his relationship with Riley Company.
