The last time the two parties met was in Black Gold Town.
At that time, Pierce was beaten half to death by the bounty hunter he hired. Victor thought that this guy must be dead, but who knew, he survived the disaster and was still alive and kicking... Well, I can't say that he was alive and kicking, but his whole body appeared intact.
In Renekton.
The scars on his face should be from that day, they are very ugly.
The lameness must have been caused that day, and I had to use crutches to barely walk.
The other hand was also limp and weak, and had probably been beaten and broken.
How miserable...
Perhaps Pierce didn't expect to see Victor here, and Victor had disguised himself, so he didn't recognize Victor and directly frowned and said.
"Will Evans? Never heard of it, but we are the carriage of the Herbert family. I believe you should know... Minx Energy."
Minx Energy?
Victor recalled this word in his mind, and it didn't take long for him to remember that it was a large family-owned company with coal mines in many places in Minx State, and its business was still expanding to the east.
Purchase land there to open new mining areas and refining bases.
News about Minx Energy Company is often seen in newspapers. Their largest shareholder is Lucchese Herbert.
To a certain extent, Minx Energy's power is no weaker than that of Cornwall, and because Thomas overturned not long ago, Minx Energy can now be regarded as the largest energy company in the country.
So if you ask Victor if he knows about the Herbert family, of course he has heard about it.
But so what if I know? Do I have to give up my position to you?
"It's Mr. Herbert. Nice to meet you." Victor said hello to Pierce hypocritically, and then ignored him.
Looking at Pierce's embarrassed expression, Victor had basically guessed that this guy was probably on the lap of the Herbert family.
"I am not Mr. Herbert, I am a friend of Jason Herbert. He is entering the banquet hall now. I have to help him put the car in place, so you have to give up your seat."
After saying that, Pierce actually took out 2 farka and handed it to Victor: "Isn't this enough to keep up with your salary for most of the week? Please park your car outside."
2 Faka just wanted to send him away? Victor raised his right hand and shook it, decisively rejecting the opponent.
Pierce's face suddenly became frightened and he sneered: "Mr. Jensen is the son of Mr. Lucchese. He represents Minx Energy Company at tonight's banquet. You are just a servant. You are not afraid of causing disgrace to your master."
Have you offended the Herbert family?"
After hearing this, Victor couldn't help laughing.
Haha... The fox is pretending to be the tiger's power, and the dog is fighting against the power of the people? Are you still playing the same trick as in the East?
This guy is so familiar!
He sat down outside the carriage and sternly rejected Pierce again.
"My master received the invitation to the banquet, and the parking location of our vehicle complies with the regulations of the guild hall. I am just following the master's instructions to stay where he is and wait for his return. Therefore, you should leave your suggestions to yourselves."
These words made Pierce extremely unhappy. He opened his mouth, and then he noticed that the security guard of the club came over to patrol, so he glared at Victor and got back into the car dejectedly.
Watching the Herbert family's carriage leave the parking lot, Victor sighed and kept shaking his head.
"I always meet this guy. I don't know if it's my bad luck or his bad luck..."
Thinking of this, Victor raised his hand to make predictions about this matter, and immediately frowned.
"Sure enough, nothing good will happen if you meet Pierce tonight."
After the interpretation of the hexagram was completed, Victor jumped off the carriage again and headed towards the banquet hall.
…
At this time, in the banquet hall, the male and female ballroom dancing guests had retreated and returned to their respective positions, leaving the middle space to the rotating chairman, Mr. Alger.
Alger's business is the most well-known tobacco company in Renekton, and he himself is well-known in the business circle. Therefore, this gentleman's speech made most people dare not whisper, but listened quietly.
.
"Ladies and gentlemen...welcome, we always have the most wonderful night to party, and we always meet some familiar old friends."
The lights focused on him, the band stopped playing, and many people around raised their goblets in tribute to Alger.
"I wish you well, Mr. Chairman."
"Yes, we are all old friends."
"Mr. Alger, can you open some bottles of wine for us? Otherwise, after tonight, my blood will smell of grape juice."
The last gentleman's speech triggered laughter in the audience.
Alger also laughed, and then continued with the opening remarks.
The members of the Chamber of Commerce present were all members of Renekton's upper-class bourgeoisie and had more or less contacts with each other. The atmosphere seemed particularly natural and not as formal as when the congressmen and dignitaries attended the banquet.
Finally, Alger began to announce that the committee had confirmed the recent members who had joined the Chamber of Commerce.
"I believe everyone knows that our Huimin Chamber of Commerce is not like other chambers of commerce. It is a group-warming organization that supports small traders and entrepreneurs. Everyone here is a decent gentleman and lady. We have strict review and evaluation of internal members.
requirements, so the number of new members passing has plummeted in recent years.”
"Tonight, I will introduce to you several new members. Their assets and qualities have been investigated and recognized by the committee."
"There are three in total..."
"The first one is Mr. Kane Niweide from Deep Blue Jewelry..."
"The second is Mr. David Mann, who is flying like the wind. He is very young and has just inherited his father's fur and shoemaking workshop."
"The third person is Mr. Dex Deshawn, who runs the textile industry in Ghana and will recently open a new woolen clothing factory in Minx."
Three new members were introduced in succession, and each of them stood up to greet everyone.
Will sat on the periphery, watching these people appear respectively, and suddenly became restless.
Finally, what he was waiting for came.
After Alger finished the introduction, he coughed a few times, suppressed the chatter and applause in the audience, took a sip of the grape juice handed by his wife, moistened his throat, and continued: "These three
Sir is the first new member confirmed by the committee, but I will announce an additional spot tonight."
As soon as these words came out, some people in the audience began to talk in surprise.
"Alger, my friend, this extra person can get an exception from the committee. I believe he must have some talent that surpasses the others."
A gentleman about the same age as Alger joked.
Alger smiled slightly.
"Yes, what I want to say is that this lucky guy was recommended by the most important person to me. I have read his self-recommendation letter and met him in person, and I am very satisfied."
"This young man has a bright future and the committee thinks so."
Upon hearing this, Will stood up instantly, with excitement and excitement in his eyes, waiting for Alger to introduce himself to everyone.
Afterwards, Alger in the middle of the dance floor took a deep breath and slowly read out the name.
