Arknights is too real, right?

If Xia Feng's Black Feather Chamber of Commerce is a tough nouveau riche, then Wei Na standing in the yard at this moment is a true big boss with 360 degrees of blind spots.

In the country of Victoria, the status of aristocrats is indeed high. As long as they hold this title, no one from the local security bureau and the army to gangsters dare to mess with them.

But the principle is the same.

There are no absolutes in terms of status. Even if the fields are different, when the gap is large enough, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes, and the rules specially formulated for those who cannot disobey will be kicked to pieces.

If it were a first-level noble like the Capet family in the northern region, Wei Na might not say such a thing to her face, because the Capet family has a high say in both business and political circles, and their status in the National Assembly is also high. Very high.

But local second-level nobles like the Leaf family, who are clinging to a tree, can be said to be more hasty and grab a lot of them throughout Victoria.

Apart from the title hanging on her head, there was nothing worth caring about in Wei Na's eyes.

After Wei Na finished speaking, Xia Feng looked calm.

Actually, it's not that serious. How could I be an enemy of Mr. Tang De? Business depends on negotiation. In the end, there must be a result that satisfies both parties.

Wei Na glanced at Tang De with a cold gaze.

Isn't it obvious that there is nothing to discuss?

Vina, don't be so fierce.

With the King of Advancement present, Donde suppressed all his words.

Ever since he unilaterally contacted the Glasgow Gang some time ago, the other party has not responded to Tang De. He originally thought that the other party was considering and making preparations.

Tang De felt that even if the Glasgow Gang did not want to interfere, he could use this as an excuse to intimidate Xia Feng.

Just like two elementary school students fighting, one of them threatens to call his eldest cousin. Even if the eldest cousin does not come in the end, this news will have a certain deterrent effect.

However, Tang De could only purse his lips aggrievedly.

Although the eldest cousin really came, he became the other party's eldest cousin, which was even more bloody than making a movie.

Xia Feng took out a few coins from his trouser pocket and made a ding-dong-dang sound as they dangled in his palm.

Sir Don De, I have no other purpose in coming this time. I just want to shamelessly ask you again about the contract.

Listening to the jingling of coins, Tang De squeezed out two words through his teeth.

Don't even think about it.

Xia Feng stopped what he was doing and said leisurely.

Lord Donde, the Liye family has a great business. I know that you have made a lot of money by smuggling light manganese ore over the years. Otherwise, you would not be able to hire the Syracuse mafia. But as the saying goes, sit back and eat. In an empty mountain, there are only three generations of rich and poor. You will not have to worry about food and drink in this life, but you must also think about future generations.

At this time, Tang Hua, who had been kicked by Wei Na, also got up and stood next to his father in disgrace.

Tang De glanced at his unsatisfactory son, his expression still maintained his final stubbornness.

The light manganese mining area is an industry assigned to our family by the royal family, don't even think about it.

Sir Don De, it's time for you to see the reality clearly. Maybe you have seen it for a long time and just don't want to accept it. You are not a businessman, because a businessman will know the timing of advance and retreat.

Looking at the aristocracy in Victoria, almost every family is prosperous. Taking advantage of the privileges of the aristocracy, they will have great advantages in both business and politics. Most aristocrats have several or even more than a dozen different industries under their names. to ensure the family's financial stability.

However, the Liye family is an alternative. Apart from light manganese ore, their family only owns a private hospital in the small city of Hapi. The fact that they can live in such a large house is also due to the light manganese ore. If smuggling is stopped , then almost everything is lost.

At this moment, Tang De was struggling fiercely in his heart. Xia Feng was right, he was not a businessman. His reason told him that he had no other way out, but his last words of respect made him unable to lower his head.

Don't even think about it. In the worst case, if you just waste it like this, neither you nor me will get any benefit.

The smile on Xia Feng's face gradually disappeared.

The whole courtyard was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two people in the center, as if they were witnessing a wild beast hunting.

Xia Feng had lost his tone of discussion and his voice became cold.

Tang De, we are different. Do you want to waste it? Okay, then we will waste it until the end of time. Do you really think I can't live without light manganese ore? The benefits that Notting City has brought to me are several times that of light manganese ore. , and let me tell you, I will soon open up the shipping market, and I will even dabble in source stone smuggling, is it surprising? I know this is a taboo, but I dare.

Xia Feng spread his hands.

Dare to do and being able to do it are two different things. I dare to do things that no one else dares to do, and I can still do it. There is no eternal wealth in the world, including the light manganese mining area that you regard as life. If a natural disaster strikes, then Everything will turn into dust. Sometimes, people and natural disasters are the same. You should feel lucky that I have never regarded the Leaf family as an enemy from the beginning to the end. Beasts will not be angry about food. If I want, I can take everything from you like a natural disaster.”

you

From now on, you will not be able to get a penny of profit from smuggling. You will be forced to reduce your production. It is enough to only maintain the supplies to the royal family. You will receive the bounty you deserve from the royal family every month, including your city. I can easily let you close the hospital in the district. How about it? Didn't you say that no one can get any benefits? Okay, then be more thorough. From today on, your Liye family will become a model noble of integrity. Well, I will send someone to give you a banner later.

Every word of Xia Feng struck Tang De's heart like a heavy hammer. His lips were pale and he could no longer speak a complete sentence.

demon.

Devil, this is a very accurate interpretation. Devil has no emotions and does not care about other people's feelings. It will only plunder other people's things without mercy.

Xia Feng does look like a devil in Don De's eyes at this time, but as Lapland said, others can interpret him at will with subjective thoughts. He can be whoever he wants to be and do whatever he feels is worth doing. as long as he deems it necessary.

However, when Tang De thinks that Xia Feng is a devil, it also proves that he is not a devil. He can think, which proves that Tang De is still alive. He has not really lost everything. He regards the light manganese ore that does not belong to him as belonging to him. Everything about him is an obsession in itself.

This is not a cold and cruel robbery, just an unfair deal.

The devil lives in my heart, but I'm not the devil.
