Volume One, The Wizard's World Chapter Twenty-Six, Disgusting
Holy See businessmen often use extraordinary powers to achieve business goals, destroy the ancient trading order, and violate the basic principles of good faith, making all legitimate civilian businessmen extremely disgusted with them and secretly despise them.
Fortunately, although they are powerful, the human kingdom also prohibits wizards from taking action against mortals, and has established judicial tribunals to supervise the activities of all extraordinary groups.
In addition, although the major churches have strong power in Camelot, the royal family Pendragon is not a puppet after all. They have strong control over the Inquisition and strictly supervise the domestic wizard group, especially the priests.
Therefore, Condra only dared to secretly plot against Willy's family, but did not dare to directly kill people. As for other shareholders, most of them also encountered the same method.
What's more, since Ian and Jasmine have invested in Riley Company, they will no longer sit back and watch Condra do small tricks to harm the interests of the company. This is also the reason why he roped in Jasmine, hoping to use the banner of the Phoenix family to deter those in the Carlos Church.
.
But that's the extent of it. He can't do anything like other equity transfers, unless Jasmine is willing to fight with Condra, but this is unrealistic, and the benefits are not attractive enough.
When he saw Willy nodding angrily and unwillingly, he understood that he was actually very painful in his heart. After all, he founded this company and worked hard for many years to achieve what it is today, but now it was easily taken away, as if
The daughter I had raised for many years was abducted by a notorious scumbag. This helplessness and complicated feelings are really difficult to describe.
Ian knew that he was afraid that without the right to speak in the future, Ye Wen would mess up and bring down the company, so he told him not to be impatient and relax: "Don't worry, you are the holder of our equity, you are still the biggest in this company. As long as you
If we can make money, we will never interfere with the company."
Willy was deeply moved when he heard this. Although he and Ian had signed a contract before, now that Ian could say these words really made him feel at ease and he was very grateful.
He was about to say a word of thanks when he suddenly heard Solansi say impatiently: "How can it be your turn to decide our family's affairs? There are naturally dedicated people to manage the family's property." As soon as he said this, he was intimidated.
Li immediately shut his mouth and didn't dare to talk. But his eyes were very unwilling. What does this mean? Ye Wen hasn't left yet, is there another Phoenix coming?
"Is this what you mean?" Ian glanced at him and turned to Jasmine for confirmation. It would be too much if Solance stepped in halfway. Everyone knows what a noble is like. A group of people who rely on
The political power bullies the people. Maybe they are good at court battles, but if they really do business with others in person, it will only be a bad thing.
You didn't get him?
This is the question and doubt in Ian's eyes.
Jasmine was also stunned for a while, but she quickly disappeared. She turned around and saw Solance looking at her triumphantly, and subconsciously frowned, so she muttered: "Well, give me a moment, my cousin and I have something to say.
" His tone didn't show anything, but his expression couldn't hide his annoyance, and he was obviously very disgusted with Solance's impromptu move.
"Okay, you decide for yourself, but I think since we are all here to make money, it's best not to let anyone lift the plate. What do you think, Miss Phoenix?"
Ian didn't even look at Solance. This guy was very disgusting, but he couldn't do anything about him, which was why he was so depressing. So he decided to stay out of sight: "I'll go back first, and you'll come later."
Saying this, he bowed slightly to Jasmine and then exited the conference room.
Willy and Dean saw each other and consciously left, leaving space for these two cousins who were at odds with each other.
After leaving the conference room, Steve left first. Willy took a look inside and looked at Ian with admiration. After all, there are very few people who dare to speak so harshly to these big families these days: "Master Hyde, your
Your courage is truly admirable, your integrity is admirable, and I am deeply honored to be your partner.”
"Okay, stop flattering me."
As a modern person, Ian is more casual and is not interested in such straightforward and lengthy flattery. Fortunately, Willie is not from the palace, otherwise it would be even more annoying: "Jasmine will take care of Solance, you don't have to worry about Phoenix."
I will intervene. However, we are willing to delegate this power to you because we believe that you can make money for everyone, not because we can't find someone to replace you, do you understand?"
Out of concerns and distrust, Jasmine had previously suggested that both parties send a representative to Riley Company to supervise Willy. However, she changed her mind because of Ian's words.
Ian said at the time: If Willy helps us make money honestly, everyone will be happy, and we can try our best to help him when he is in trouble; but if he plays tricks with us, do we still have to litigate with him?
We are wizards, a naturally privileged class, a group more noble than the nobility, and the cornerstone on which the country relies on to establish its main plane. We must realize that Willy relies on us, not the other way around.
Our time and thoughts should be spent on how to go further. The power of magic is the most real. Everything we do now is for it. Don’t lose your original intention, Miss Jasmine!
After he said these words, Jasmine never asked anything about the company again.
Now Ian's words were half threatening and half reassuring. Willy naturally understood his identity and immediately made a statement.
Then, Ian took the carriage back to the Dominican Church, while Willie stayed in the company to deal with related matters. During the few months he stayed at home, he accumulated a lot of trouble.
Before leaving, Willy asked Yewen how to solve it. Condra didn't think about revenge, but Yewen was a big trouble. Ian thought about it and asked him not to worry about Yewen for now.
The other party took action.
After this negotiation, the Carlos Church knew the attitude of the Phoenix family. As long as Condra was not stupid, he would not continue to take action. For the time being, neither side could do anything about the other, so they simply shook hands and made peace.
If Condra doesn't know how to behave, the Judicial Inquisition will teach him how to behave.
Why didn't Willy go to the court this time?
First of all, it was indeed not Condra's deliberate plan. He was just pushing the boat along. The responsibility for the spirit of the wood carving cannot be attributed to him. To put it simply, there is no way to catch him.
Secondly, Kondra stopped his attack quickly. After Roger solved the weapon spirit, he did not continue to take action. The confessions of Ian and Jasmine alone were not enough to convict him. Moreover, Kondra was still a priest and had certain immunity.
right.
Other shareholders can try to investigate, and maybe they will gain something. But there is no need, they are not mortal enemies, and there is no need to fight to the death.
To put it simply, everyone is here to make money, there is no need to fall out.
…
Coincidentally, Ian had just mentioned the Inquisition over there. After entering the church, he saw Roger talking to a middle-aged man wearing a wide satin coat with red and blue arrow stripes. He was the chanter of the Inquisition.
, a wizard in the awakened stage.
Behind that man stood two young people, a man and a woman, cautious but excited.
There are six levels of ranks in the tribunal, namely, the chanter, the judge, the precept officer, the deacon, the deputy chief judge, and the chief judge; the chanter and the judge are basic positions, each with six levels, and the precept officer
Each of the above has three levels of rank, except for the chief referee and deputy chief referee.
The man who was talking to Roger was a sixth-level herrist. He was only one step away from being promoted to become a herrist. However, the other person might not be able to take this step in his lifetime, because only by becoming a gifted person can he be automatically promoted, otherwise
He can only be a rhyme reciter for the rest of his life. As for the two people behind him, they are only first-level rhyme reciters, or rookies for short.
But it's none of Ian's business, that's not what he was thinking about.
"Did something happen in the parish?" He muttered, but he had no intention of going over to find out what happened. Those who could alert the inquisition basically involved the wizards who committed the crime, and he was not interested in getting to know these criminals.
But just because he doesn't look for trouble doesn't mean trouble won't find him.
"Ian, come here!" Roger shouted over there, and the three people from the tribunal also looked over.
"What's wrong?" Ian walked over and asked. At the same time, he was thinking, could it be that they discovered Willy Catherine's affairs? But then he should go to Condra.
Roger gave him a bad look, and then introduced the Rhythmist: "Introduction, this is Rex Klimans, the Rhythmist of the Third Division of the Multi-Inquisition. This time he is here.
I'm looking for you specifically to learn about a missing person's kidnapping case, so you should talk to him."
His hint was very cryptic, but Ian understood it. It was about that boy Alfo.
But can this also alarm the Inquisition? From beginning to end, he didn't use any witchcraft. How did he find it on his head? Could he have made a mistake?
No matter what Ian thought in his heart, on the surface he still stretched out his hand politely and said with a smile: "Hello, sir."
Rex took out his leather gloves and held his hand politely: "Just call me Rex, respected Master Hyde."
"Oh, it seems that Rex has already done some research on me." Ian sighed pretending to be surprised, "I'm curious about what made you interested in me, an unknown person?"
"Well... I'm not very good at beating around the bush, so I'll just tell you the truth." Rex's words showed his straightforward character. His eyes were fixed on Ian, like a falcon targeting a rabbit.
: "Is that boy Alfred Trevor in your hands? If possible, can you return him to his poor family?"
Sure enough it was him.
Ian called out that he was unlucky, but he remained calm on the surface, pretending to be surprised and curious: "Who said that, don't accuse good people without any evidence." As he said this, he glanced at Roger with a guilty look, if this guy
If he is sold, it will only be considered bad luck for him.
Rex obviously didn't believe it. He looked at Ian with contempt and said in a sarcastic tone: "Master Hyde, has he forgotten that we are also wizards? Our captain is a Herrscher who has awakened the talent of dreams. Even in this place
It’s easy to find a mouse in the huge city now, do you still want to continue to deny it?”
Dream entry is a basic skill of the dream talent. It can connect to the dreams of others, but Ian never expected that it can also have the function of finding someone. Doesn't this mean that Appleton's detection rate of human trafficking cases has reached 100%?
He ignored the factor of being a power talent, which led to him being easily found out. If he had known that Carl Trevor had this relationship, he should have waited until he left before taking action.
But what stood behind him, Ian Hyde, was the Hydrarian Order, one of the seven southern provinces, no, one of the oldest secret organizations in Camelot. It was outside the kingdom and was basically not governed by secular laws.
.
So he was not afraid at all, and said calmly: "Okay, you guys found out. I admit that I did it... but what can I do?"
