Volume 2 Chapter 28 - What attitude does the Stagg Family have? (1/2)

His thought of writing a book was suddenly interrupted by something.

It couldn’t be considered sudden either. When Viscount Leslie left Banta City, this matter, or this person was definitely coming, he just didn’t know when they would come.

At the end of April, a cavalcade came to Banta City from Anvilmar City.

The one in that cavalcade was Viscount Leslie’s successor, which was also the new lord that the Stagg Family had sent for their territory in Banta City, Baron Belil Stagg.

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce had rented a hectare of land from the Stagg Family. As the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman, it was reasonable for Xu Yi to pay him a visit as soon as possible.

But when he talked to Butler Brunei who Viscount Leslie had left in Banta City, he learned that the Lord Baron had just arrived and had many important people to see. He didn’t have time to see Xu Yi right now, so he had him wait first.

Xu Yi was instantly stunned before asking Butler Brunei with knit brows, “Are these the words of the Lord Baron?”

Butler Brunei replied without any emotion, “Yes.”

Xu Yi’s brows knit even tighter.

If Butler Brunei were conveying the words of Baron Belil Stagg, it meant that the other side was completely looking down on Xu Yi or was openly revealing hostilities towards him.

No matter which one it was, it wasn’t something that Xu Yi wanted to see.

And from the angle of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, compared to strangely being hostile towards them, Xu Yi hoped that this was the baron looking down on him.

It was fine if he looked down on him or was just arrogant, but it was very troublesome if he was hostile.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi then asked, “Butler Brunei, did the Lord Baron mention my name or our Frestech Chamber of Commerce?”

Butler Brunei looked up at Xu Yi and after pausing, he slowly nodded, “Yes, when I was making my report of the territory, I mentioned your Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Lord Baron learned of your existence.”

“Then what attitude did the Lord Baron have?” Xu Yi kept asking.

Xu Yi thought that Butler Brunei wouldn’t seriously answer this question, but after Butler Brunei thought about it, he suddenly stood up straight and said with a look of disdain, “There are many small companies in Banta City, I really don’t know why that fellow Leslie places such importance on this.” After saying this, Butler Brunei restored his uncaring appearance and said, “These were the words of the Lord Baron.”

Xu Yi looked at Butler Brunei in surprise for a bit before seriously saying, “Thank you.”

Butler Brunei nodded and remained silent.

After leaving the manor Viscount Leslie left behind, Xu Yi entered his horse carriage and ordered the driver to head towards the City Lord’s Manor.

As the carriage continued, Xu Yi fell into his thoughts.

Although he didn’t know why, Butler Brunei’s actions had surprised him. He had shown Xu Yi Baron Belil Stagg’s real thoughts, which would be a very big help to Xu Yi in making his decision.

According to what Butler Brunei showed hi, this Lord Baron should have learned of Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce from Viscount Leslie.

He could even infer from his words that Viscount Leslie might have specially told him some things about the Frestech Chamber of Commerce or Xu Yi before he came to Banta City.

As for the Lord Baron’s response of not sparing a glance, this was because to him, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce wasn’t one of the big companies of Banta City, so it wasn’t worth entering the eyes of a junior from the Stagg Family like him.

Xu Yi didn’t expect the new lord to be as open as Viscount Leslie, having the same appreciation and support for him and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. But be just hoped that the new lord didn’t have any special goals.

For example, according to what Viscount Leslie said, if the Stagg Family noticed the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s potential, they would decide to move against them. They would send a smart lord who would use the land the Frestech Chamber of Commerce is currently renting and the powerful influence of the Stagg Family to swallow the Frestech Chamber of Commerce bit by bit.

“Ha, ha, ha, ha…...Xu Yi, you really are thinking too much.” Count Sean Samo broke out in loud laughter as he pointed at Xu Yi and said, “I say, Xu Yi, should I say that you’re thinking too highly of yourself or too lowly of yourself?”

Xu Yi looked at Count Sean with a confused look. He didn’t understand why he would react so strangely after he came to him for help.

“What does this mean?”

“In terms of thinking too highly of yourself, you think the Stagg Family would actually specially send someone to deal with you and your Frestech Chamber of Commerce? You have to understand, the Stagg Family is one of the top families in our Lampuri Kingdom, even if it is me, I can only look up to Lord Duke Stagg. For such a giant, who is only second to the Lampuri Kingdom’s royal family, would they need to specially deal with a small Frestech Chamber of Commerce?” Count Sean asked with a smile.

“This…..Although our Frestech Chamber of Commerce isn’t big, I have to admit that there’s still some value. Not only are our product revenue margins high, our prospects are very wide, so it wouldn’t be strange if the Stagg Family set their eyes on us?” Xu Yi asked in an unconvinced voice.

Count Sean shook his head with a faint smile, “Although you’re completely right, Xu Yi, you have to see reality. Even if your Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s prospects are broad, you are just a small company who earns less than five hundred thousand a year. This isn’t worth mentioning at all to the Stagg Family, why would they send someone to specially deal with your company?”
