Looking at the familiar figure across the street, Ma Wei waved the approaching carriage to leave, led Yunia and others across the street, and came to Freya who was holding a white cat: "Where are you going?
?”
"Go home." Freya asked, "Where are you going?"
"It looks like there's no way to get to Canary Wharf."
"It's okay, I'll take you there." Freya glanced at the housekeeper and motioned for him to call the coachman: "It's okay to be idle. By the way, you didn't attend the banquet held in the church tonight, which was specially for the delegation.
You guys, I heard that the Pope is very satisfied with your work and is waiting to reward you."
"The dinner party is not interesting. It's boring all day long."
The carriage with the emblem of the Chevali family stopped on the street. The butler opened the door and Ma Wei and others got on the carriage one after another. The carriage was widened and not only covered with soft cushions, it was also more spacious than an ordinary four-wheeled carriage.
There is no problem at all in seating five or six adult men.
Mavey was traveling with Freya not only to save money on the bus, but more importantly, to ask about Maria.
Although he has left Paris and the Bonaparte Empire, Mawei still attaches great importance to Maria's actions. The real pocket watch proves that Maria is related to the ancient god's power, and Freya has made the four supreme pillars of A
Smode, and Maria are both descendants of the Chevali family. If you think about it carefully...
There must be an inseparable connection between the two of them.
Just like Freya approached Rhodes IV, Maria approached Napoleon. If there was anything fishy about it, Mavey would never believe it.
"Is Paris fun?" Freya asked on the carriage heading to Canary Wharf.
"Okay."
After recalling his experience in Paris, Ma Wei gave a rather reluctant evaluation: "I met a person in Paris."
"who?"
"Maria de Chevalier."
"oh..."
Freya nodded, without showing any surprise, but asked lightly: "She is my cousin. Since you have met her, you must already know the story of the Chevali family... How is she?
?”
"What are you asking about?"
"In all aspects." Freya said: "Before you left for London, I wrote her a letter. If she receives the letter, she will probably take more care of you."
"She really takes care of us." Ma Wei smiled: "How much do you know about her?"
"I don't know her very well. I have never met her. I only exchange letters occasionally. You know, she and I are the only two people left in the Chevali family now. It's not the time to worry about grudges."
Ma Wei nodded slowly, not finding any flaws. There were some issues that he couldn't explain clearly, otherwise it would arouse Freya's suspicion.
After talking about the customs and customs of Paris for a while, the carriage arrived at Canary Wharf. As evening approached, the busy workers on the dock were already preparing for work before leaving get off work. There was not enough lighting at night, so it was not suitable for moving goods unless there was an emergency.
"What are you doing here at Canary Wharf so late?" Looking around, Freya was a little curious and asked while stroking the cute and obedient white cat in her arms.
"A few days ago, the Manstein Potion Company established a shipping company, and its headquarters is here."
Ma Wei bypassed the dock area and walked straight into the black market alley at the back. At the end of the alley was a dead end. On both sides were the office areas of various maritime companies. A young man wearing a suit, combed oily hair, and black rimmed eyes stood there.
On the left side of the alley, he held a pocket watch in his hand and looked over. When he saw Ma Wei and others, he hurriedly came to greet them.
"Mr. Nicholas!" The young man came up with a briefcase and said quickly: "The formalities have been completed. As long as you sign the document, 22 Canary Wharf will be the property in your name..."
"
Before departure, Mavie gave Tiffany the task of finding the location of the maritime company's headquarters. She did a good job. After knowing Mavie came back, she notified the manager who sold the house and brought the documents the same day.
The original owner of the house has signed the document, and Ma Wei has paid the balance in advance. With his current background, he is not afraid of others tampering with the contract.
"Felix, come and sign."
Levin was stunned for a moment: "Me?"
"Well, I hold shares of Manstein Potion Company. It is not suitable to be the boss of Manstein Maritime Company. All eggs cannot be put in the same basket."
Mavey took out a pen and handed it to Levin: "You are the owner of Manstein Maritime Company."
If Manstein Maritime Company and Manstein Potion Company were integrated together, any troubles encountered by one company in the future would have an impact on the other company. To be on the safe side, Mawei decided to separate the company and control it himself.
The Manstein Potion Company and the Maritime Company were handed over to Levin.
Levin will soon become the Earl of the Kingdom and have his own territory. It can't be justified if he doesn't have any property in his name.
They were all his own, and Levin didn't dwell on this matter. He took the pen and signed the name of Felix von Manstein on the document placed on the side of the young man's briefcase.
.
"alright!"
The contract was written in black and white, and the contract came into effect. The young man dried the ink on the paper with a smile, and handed one of the documents to Ma Wei along with the key: "Mr. Nicholas, this is the key to House No. 22. Keep it... I suggest you replace it.
Lock bolt, because I'm not sure if the previous owner has any other keys."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you."
"It should."
After packing up his briefcase, the young man bowed goodbye to Ma Wei and others, and then left the dock area quickly.
Taking out the keys, Ma Wei and others arrived at No. 22 Canary Wharf. This is a three-story stone house with some age, connected with other houses. The walls have mottled traces of time, and the corners are still long.
There was a lot of moss on it, the furnishings in the house were also very old, and the floorboards creaked and made a sound on the verge of collapse.
"In need of major repairs."
After viewing the entire house, Mawe decided to replace all the floors, replace the furniture with new ones, transform it into an office, and then hang up the Manstein Maritime Company's sign...
Seeing that Ma Wei and the others seemed to be staying here for a while, Freya, who seemed to have something to do, stood up to leave. After she left, Ma Wei opened the window and blew a loud whistle.
Snap.
An orange cat with a round body and a butt wider than its shoulders landed on the window sill, showing a lightness that was inconsistent with its figure. Under the hair that floated as it moved, golden armbands engraved with complicated patterns could be vaguely seen.
"I'm back."
"I know, I knew it as soon as you entered the city." Fat Orange stepped into the dim room, jumped on the round table, opened his mouth and yawned: "During the period when you were away, nothing major happened in London. You have to say where.
Something's wrong... Well, Freya left London."
"Freya left London?" Ma Wei's eyelids twitched: "When did she leave and when did she come back?"
"She left on the day you left, leaving Xiaobai at home to be taken care of by the servants. She took a carriage alone out of the city from the north. No one knows where she went." Fat Jue said: "She came back last night.
, just the night before you come back."
"Hmm." Ma Wei recalled the demons that appeared on the night of escaping Paris, nodded and said: "It seems that she was also involved in summoning the demon gate. Apart from her, is there anyone else who left London?"
"Who are you asking?"
"The fourth prince's wife, chief knight of the Round Table, Lancelot."
"Gulihana?" Fat Orange shook his head slowly: "No, she has been in London."
"Are you sure? I saw Paimon appear in Paris with my own eyes."
"I also saw Gulhana sleeping in my own home." Pang Ju said, "As for whether what I saw was her, I'm not sure."
Fat Orange has always been impeccable in what he does, and the same goes for what he says. If he says he saw it with his own eyes, that means he saw it with his own eyes, but the key lies in whether the Gulihanna he saw is actually Gulihanna herself.
The last time the Four Pillars of Supreme invaded London, the fourth prince suspected that the person next to him was a demon. Ma Wei saw his worries and asked Fat Orange to spy on Gurihana. This time he went to Paris and Paimon showed up in person. If Paimon showed up in person,
If you don't know the clone technique, it's enough to prove that Gulihana is not Paimon's true form.
but...
Without concrete evidence, Ma Wei didn't dare to make a conclusion, let alone him. Even the fourth prince, who lay with Gulhana all day long and often lived as a couple, didn't dare to be sure!
If Gulhana is really Paimon, then the fourth prince... ugh!
"By the way, are the Fourth Prince and the others back?"
"No." Fat Orange said: "According to the report of the cat detective I sent out, they should have returned from the West Island at this time and are conducting final negotiations in Edinburgh. It is said that the negotiations went smoothly."
With Edward by his side, Ma Wei was not worried about the safety of the fourth prince. As for the eldest prince's idea of expanding to the north and the Western Island, he thought it was not worth mentioning.
Now that the "Paris Potion Agreement" has been signed, the market is no longer limited to the domestic market. The real cake is in the Central Continent, and Manstein Potion Company has taken the lead. The potion market in the North and the West Island is somewhat insignificant.
"Where is Xiao Hei? How is Mr. Butler doing?"
Mentioning Mr. Butler, Fat Orange looked much more serious: "While you were away, an academic summit was held in London. On the way to the end of the summit, Mr. Butler kidnapped many scientists and took them away..."
"where?"
"Windsor Castle!"
Windsor Castle?
Isn’t that the royal family’s territory?
Rhodes IV was so bold as to lend Windsor Castle to the Doomsday Party as a base?
"To be precise, it is the small town of Windsor next to Windsor Castle, where James Morea plans to re-establish a laboratory and continue research."
After a pause, Fat Orange asked: "Do you want to destroy the laboratory again?"
"Of course, this kind of research on modified organisms cannot continue." Ma Wei said: "Wait until they build the laboratory before starting. If the laboratory is not completed, the research cannot continue."
"Why do you have to wait for the laboratory to be completed before starting? Dad?" Yunia asked with a puzzled face: "Wouldn't it be better to start now?"
"If we take action now, first of all, it will make James Morea realize that there is a mole around him, which will endanger Xiao Hei's safety. Secondly, it will take time to build a laboratory. It is easy to destroy the laboratory that has not yet been built, but
James Morea and the others can completely continue their research in another location. In this case, why not use the unbuilt laboratory to delay for a while? We can also waste their financial and material resources and kill two birds with one stone."
"Oh oh oh, so that's it..."
Yunia suddenly realized that there was no change in Fat Orange's expression. It knew very well that Ma Wei's thoughts were not as simple as what he said. In addition to the several reasons just mentioned, there was another reason.
Abducted professors!
Rescuing them now will not get them much gratitude. If they wait for a while, they will feel desperate and feel that they will never be able to escape from the devil's cave...
Wouldn’t it be possible to generate a wave of favorability?
The professors who are eligible to receive invitations and come to London to attend the academic summit are all elites in the academic world and have countless disciples. You will never lose money by building a good relationship with such people.
"What are you going to do next?" Fat Jue asked: "Now that Manstein Potion Company is on the right track, the international market is also open..."
"Next step, I plan to increase my influence and run for parliament." Ma Wei said with a smile: "This is the purpose of my suggestion to Ubli I to open the cultivation, picking and transportation of magic medicine. I want to build momentum for myself."
The members of the Kingdom of Windsor are elected through a voting system. Whoever gets more votes from the people will be elected as a member. Of course, Ma Wei will not tamper with the voting. He will rely on his own ability to make the people vote for him willingly.
.
If you want people to vote for you, you must first let them know who you are. Manstein's potion company is very famous, but if you ask a random person on the street who the boss of the company is, nine out of ten people will not be able to answer the question.
.
People who are really struggling at or above the poverty line have no energy to pay attention to the superior capitalists. They only think about what they will eat today and whether they can make money. And most of these people are illiterate and do not read newspapers.
If you want to quickly increase your popularity and gain the support of the people, you must do things that are beneficial to the people, such as sending money directly, which is simple and crude, five shillings per person. Within half a month, all London knows Nicholas von...
Who is this great good man Manstein?
Of course, sending money directly can save most of the troubles, but unfortunately, the amount of funds in Ma Wei's hand cannot satisfy this option of sending money directly.
The country can distribute money to the people because they have the right to print money. How can individuals be compared with the country?
Due to insufficient funds, Mawei had no choice but to give up directly distributing money and instead used other means to increase his popularity and gain public support.
After thinking about it, Ma Wei felt that we should make use of the resources at hand, such as...
Magic potion!
"The decline of the potion market will create many jobs. If I can seize this opportunity, I will definitely make people remember my name and cast a valuable vote!"
