Lin Qian returned to the castle, and while busy discussing the plan, he heard the report of the chief manager Flotto.
"Have you already dealt with it?"
Lin Qian's instructions just this morning were quickly completed.
Lin Qian glanced at some of the documents he handed over.
This is a rough list of the despicable crimes committed so far by the Valia merchant group.
Starting from the upper echelons of the merchant group, and then to the actions of the people below them, it was recorded in this document.
Still, the investigation doesn't show anything big enough to stop the syndicate from acting, but it's enough.
In fact, there is no need to pursue it in the first place.
Because in Calderick, lords are the law.
Regardless of whether Valya broke the law or not, as long as Lin Qian was willing, he could immediately dissolve the business group.
By the way, even though Flotto explained the monarchy to Lin Qian in detail, it is interesting that he did not mention the power that the monarch has, but only some restrictions.
The great constitution drawn up by the hegemon has only the iron law of non-interference in the territory of the lords and the inability to exercise independent military power over other countries.
In other words, as long as it is not a dictatorship that destroys the basic structure of the monarchy, Lin Qian can do everything he wants.
In any case, the reason why Lin Qian did this kind of investigation was out of a minimum conscience.
Lin Qian knew that Valia was like a bad guy who did nothing evil, because he had played this game, so he knew how despicable the behavior of the Valia Business Group was.
"Butler."
"Yes, Seven Emperors."
"Bring Scarlett, the chief of Valia and the workshop master of Akmas, to the castle, but be polite and respectful to the workshop owner."
"I will do as you tell me immediately."
Flotto did not show the slightest surprise or doubt, and after answering, turned and left quickly.
Lin Qian guessed that he must have known his intentions from this series of orders.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Qian turned his gaze to the map again, he had already finished the matter at hand, and now it was time to start planning.
"I said I would see you again soon, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
... ...
Inside the workshop of Akmas.
In the gloomy and cold atmosphere, Valia said calmly while drinking tea.
"Sure enough, it is a place where craftsmen gather, and the taste of tea is very good, which makes me want to know the recipe of your tea."
Scarlett, who was sitting across from him, said expressionlessly.
"You should drink less, after all, it is too delicate for vulgar and impolite people."
"Well, it seems that you have misunderstood my sincere praise."
"Let's get down to business, I don't want to delay Boss Valia's precious time."
Valia raised the corners of her mouth and put down her teacup.
"What am I trying to say? I just repeat the offer I always made, and the owner will reject it as always.
Scarlett replied calmly.
"Using your funds to mass-produce the potions of the Akmas workshop and use the resources of our craftsmen is an obvious routine."
"As others have said, it seems that the workshop owner is full of prejudice against our trade group."
"Who exactly caused this bias? Blocking the distribution of materials, and then going to appease the customers of the workshop, and using the small things of a few years ago to put pressure on the workshop?
Buck, the blindfolded man sitting next to Valia, giggled.
"Workshop master, be careful when you speak. It is so rude to slander us without any evidence. "
Huh?"
"What do the elders think? For the future of the workshop, shouldn't the loyalists break the prejudice of our masters?
An old elder standing beside Scarlett snorted coldly.
"For the future of the workshop, we are unlikely to accept this proposal."
"Haha, it's really interesting, the resources and funds required for the production of potions are all provided to the workshop by the trade group, so what is wrong with our proposal?"
"And the price is only the technology of the workshop and the ability of the head of the family!
Your group may open another workshop in the nearby city of Flick, and in a few years, they will absorb most of our technology and slowly eat away at the workshop's business.
The business partners of the workshop are snatched away one by one, and in the end, the workshop will slowly fall, or it will become a machine that forcibly hands over the management of the workshop to the merchant group to produce medicines.
Is there a more elaborate and vicious plan than that?
Valia was amused by the elder's sharp words.
"I envy you because you have like-minded and loyal subordinates, workshop owners."
Scarlett frowned.
Because he already knew that the other party tried to buy several elders, but obviously they failed.
"They are people who are proud of their workshops and have dedicated their lives here. So I don't think anyone will agree with you.
"Sure enough, as always, the owner."
"Is it the turn of the threat next?"
"Owner."
Valia gave an almost mocking smile.
"You don't have to pretend to be calm, you know? Some things have changed. "
The
new Seventh Emperor only arrived in the city yesterday, and there is no acting lord, do you think the new Seventh Emperor will be interested in such a trivial matter?"
Or, if anything, which side would he be on? Will he listen to you?
If you have an elixir hidden in your house as a family heirloom, and you donate it, maybe it will be on the side of the workshop.
Buck interjected, smiling eeriely.
"Or, since the princess of the workshop is beautiful, you can also seduce him, there are rumors that the new lord is a human male."
"Watch your words."
Theon, who had been standing behind Scarlett with his mouth closed, suddenly opened his mouth and said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this blatant insult to the family master, the faces of the other elders also became solemn.
However, as if he couldn't hear it, Buck continued to talk to himself.
"Or, just in case, how about you marry a young master? The owner is not young and suitable for marriage, you should not stay in a dull and boring place like this, and you should know the fun of knowing women. "
You!"
Theon looked like he was about to erupt, but Scarlett raised her hand to stop him.
"Are you here to do such a despicable provocation? It seems that the people in your business group are the same.
Valia sneered and stood up.
"Today is probably the last warning, I hope Miss Scarlett can make an informed choice for the future of the studio."
"
Then I'll go first, you don't have to send us."
As the two walked out of the room, the elders looked at them with gloomy faces.
They come here directly without prior notice and threaten them, which is a disregard for them.
The future situation is too unfavorable for the workshop, even if it is from tomorrow, I don't know what kind of despicable and vulgar means the merchant group will use to deal with them.
Because until a few years ago, all the elders had gone through too many things, and when they thought of what their merchant group had done to the workshop before, their teeth were about to be bitten.
"Alas."
Scarlett touched her forehead as if she had a headache.
"Let's have a meeting in the evening to talk about it, Workshop Master."
"Yes, I should. So, now..."
Scarlett and her elders talked about how to deal with the future.
Theon listened to the conversation, looked firm, and then sneaked out of the room.
