Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Chapter 242 【0239】 Bad News (Additional Update 25)

By presenting facts and evidence, Camille has made the members of Parliament aware of the threat of Zaun.

But after realizing the threat, the first reaction of the legislators was to divide the old money and the new rich, and at the same time hope that the other party would pay for this competition...

No one said it, but everyone understood that if Zaun could be defeated, Piltover would eat and even vomit on the corpse of the new Zaun!

But how can it be so easy to suppress or even defeat Zaun in economic competition?

Paying the price is inevitable.

It's a pity that no one is willing to take the initiative to bear this price. It is best to pass it on to the other party.

This is also the main purpose of Camille convening this special meeting.

Although the two sides are now either angry or expressing their feelings directly, and they are quarreling with each other, at least they have realized that this silent competition is inevitable.

Next, what Camille needs to do is to mediate and make both parties pay a price that they can bear and accept.

This is something Camille has been doing for some time in the past, and now she is somewhat familiar with it.

When you have power, this is the best way to guide!

However, just when she was about to have a good talk with these congressmen, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the conference room.

The meeting was interrupted, and the MPs' expressions were a little subtle.

At this juncture, who is knocking on the door?

………………

Amid everyone's surprised gazes, the Secretary-General of the Secretariat entered the conference room. She glanced at Camille, who was silent, and then at the editor-in-chief beside her.

The bald editor resigned quite sensibly. After he closed the door, the secretary-general finally spoke softly.

"Just now, the fleets sent by several chambers of commerce... all sent back news."

"Oh?" Camille's eyes flashed red, "What did they say?"

"The merchant ship of the Gunojia family was attacked by the Ionians." The secretary-general said in a low voice, "Their family's flag... is very similar to that of a certain Noxian war group. When it arrived on the Ionian coast It was attacked by the locals, suffered heavy losses, and was forced to evacuate. It is now repairing the ship and looking for sailors on Philo Island."

"Trash." Camille commented coldly, "I have been reminded of my business attitude, but I am still holding on to the Noxians. I deserve this!"

The Secretary-General obviously couldn't answer Camille's words, so she could only continue to say:

"The Myrdalda family's merchant ship passed through Philo and arrived in Zivonia. They successfully established a relationship with the locals and purchased a large amount of Ionian specialties."

Camille finally nodded after hearing this, and her expression relaxed a lot.

"However, on the way back, they were intercepted by the pirates of Bilgewater - all the goods were robbed, and only one messenger was released by the Bilgewater people..." At this point, the Secretary-General's voice dropped. Down, "he brought a ransom demand from the people of Bilgewater."

"Didn't Myrdalda's fleet have ship markings?" Jess, who was sitting in the parliamentary seat, said with some surprise, "I heard Mel say that her fleet all has ship markings...those Are pirates already so rampant?"

"Well, Congressman Talis, in fact, the Myrdalda family's merchant ships are currently not protected by ship markings." The secretary-general said with some embarrassment, "Not long ago, there was a change of power in Bilgewater, and the new Pirate leader takes over."

"That's the one in the photo in your hand." Camille continued the second half of the sentence, "Sarah Fortune, the new King of the Twelve Seas - where is the other fleet? Was it also robbed by pirates?"

"That's right." The Secretary-General nodded, "The Punkby family's ship was also robbed by pirates, and the pirates who robbed their family also claimed that...any ship that dares to interfere in Ionia's trade is the entire Birgi Walt’s enemy.”

After saying this, the Secretary-General lowered his head.

The entire conference room instantly became silent. The members of the House of Representatives looked at each other in disbelief at the result.

"Those sea rats, do they really think of themselves as the king of the ocean?!" Someone punched the table angrily, "They are actually colluding with the Zaun people... I really think that Piltover is someone who can be manipulated. Of?"

"They are obviously well prepared." Camille took the pile of documents brought by the Secretary-General and nodded to let her leave the conference room temporarily. "They hid all their advantages and waited to suddenly hit us. Caught off guard - everyone, while you are still thinking about who will be on the battlefield of this invisible war, Zaun has already carried out a shameful sneak attack!"

As Camille spoke, all the members of the House of Representatives fell silent.

"The trade between Hex Technology and the Sun Gate is the two legs for Piltover to pursue progress." Looking around, Camille's eyes flashed red, making it difficult to look directly, "And now, Zaun It officially challenges us in two aspects at the same time!”

Everyone's expressions were somewhat hesitant. Although they were unwilling to accept it, at this time... the situation was just as Camille said.

"With Hex Technology as competition, we are not afraid of the Zaun people's challenge." Camille continued, "But it is obvious that the Zaun people will not be willing to accept such an understatement of competition. They are eager to use more intense methods. Steal the technology and profits that belong to us from our hands and squeeze out our future."

"They have raised a challenge, and Piltover...will meet it!"

The deputies still looked hesitant.

Zaun is indeed a threat.

But competing head-on so directly...

That is something that delays everyone’s making money!

At this moment, someone even almost blurted out the sentence "Whoever gives up on Zaun should solve Zaun's problem."

Fortunately, this guy still has a head. Although his expression is unhappy, he at least controls his mouth to prevent trouble from coming out of his mouth.

"So, I propose." Camille finally stood up, supporting her hands on the table, and a pair of eyes swept over everyone's faces, as if to reach everyone's hearts, "From now on, we should respond, do you need to Using only economic means, we can teach the Zaun people a lesson and let them correct their position - what do you think?"

Members, you looked at me and I looked at you, but there was no direct reaction.

"Zuan's food is highly dependent on Kumangla, and non-staple food is highly dependent on Bergun." Camille didn't seem to care about the reactions of the MPs, and continued to talk about herself, "I propose that the United Trade Chamber of Commerce be responsible for pulling Regarding the prices of staple foods in Kumangla and non-staple foods in Bergun, let’s teach the Zaun people a lesson first… Now, let’s start voting.”

Kalya’s Little Classroom·Gunojia Family:

This is a business family that is relatively close to Noxus. Their family emblem is very similar to the double-headed eagle of Noxus. Using this little cleverness, their trade in Northern Shurima is quite strong.
