Volume 2 Chapter 33 - Mass production of weapons and armours (1/2)

Of the people who came, other than the Lord City Lord and Baron Belil, there were also some who came because they heard the news like chairman Cruise.

Most of them were heads of large companies that had connections to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, among them was the Falcao Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Fuller Morgan.

Without an exception, these people showed their concern on the Frestech Chamber of Commerce suddenly moving their factory. The key point of their concern was naturally whether this move would affect their orders with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

When they learned that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would be moving to the Sandton Manor not far away and would be able to resume production in just a week, many people were assured.

After exchanging greetings, people’s eyes naturally fell onto Count Sean and Baron Belil.

Most of them were looking at Baron Belil.

These people were all well informed people of Banta City, so how could they not know the situation of why the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was suddenly moving.

It should be said that Baron Belil’s sudden unreasonable request made everyone very surprised.

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce clearly had prospects, so even if the Stagg Family didn’t place importance on them, they shouldn’t act like this and basically break all relations with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

Baron Belil still looked very careless in front of everyone. Seeing everyone focused on him, he gave a laugh before coming in front of Xu Yi, looking at him as he said, “Chairman Xu, giving Count Sean some face, I’ve given you a few days time. But don’t blame me for not reminding you that if you don’t finish before the deadline, I won’t be giving you any face.”

Hearing this, the surrounding people couldn’t help knitting their brows.

What grudge did this Baron Belil have with Xu YI? Why did he go against the Frestech Chamber of Commerce like this?

Xu Yi’s face was calm, as he nodded with a smile and said, “The Lord Baron can be assured, with our current speed, we can finish by the day after tomorrow. We won’t be delaying the plans you have with this piece of land.”

Baron Belil gave a slight nod, “That is more like it. If you delay my matters, there aren’t any good consequences for you.”

Everyone knit their brows even more.

Based on the information they obtained, this matter had been Baron Belil being unreasonable from the start. Now that he had said all this in front of Xu Yi, even the people who had normal relationships with Xu Yi found it hard to keep their hearts calm.

But the people here were all well experienced, no one would refute Baron Belil to his face.

This fellow clearly looked like a playboy and looked unreasonable. If they said anything against him, not only would it have no use, they would offend the Stagg Family behind him for no reason, no one would be that foolish.

Xu Yi looked at Baron Belil and suddenly asked, “Lord Baron, I have a question for you.”

“What is it?” Baron Belil said in an uncaring voice.

“Are you certain you won’t regret doing this?”

Count Sean who had only greeted Xu Yi after coming here and not said anything else slightly raised a brow, as he looked at Xu Yi in surprise.

This Xu Yi, he looked like he had been calm about this matter on the surface, but based on his question, it meant that he did have a bit of rage in his heart.

Everyone else was a bit surprised, as they thought that Xu Yi’s question didn’t have any politeness at all.

Baron Belil was surprised before giving a cold laugh and disdainfully saying, “Regret? Why would I regret this? I say, Xu Yi, although your Frestech Chamber of Commerce has developed at a good speed and earned quite a bit in a year, you shouldn’t overestimate yourself. Your Frestech Chamber of Commerce is only a small company in Banta City, what qualifications do you have to make me feel regret? Asking this kind of question, don’t you find it funny?”

Xu Yi looked at Baron Belil for a while until he felt uncomfortable being stared at like that. He angrily looked at Xu Yi who looked away with a faint smile, “Alright, I understand. Many thanks for the Lord Baron’s answer.”

Baron Belil looked at Xu Yi in surprise before saying with a cold snort, “Xu Yi, from the things that I don’t want to see on the newspapers, I thought that you would at least be a smart person. Now that I look at you, you don’t seem that smart.”

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s factory being moved, whether it was in Banta City or the surrounding cities, this was a large piece of news.

In a normal situation, the newspapers of the city would cover it and delve into the reasons.

But this time, the ten newspapers of these cities only made a simple report like it was a normal piece of news.

As for the reason why the Frestech Chamber of Commerce suddenly decided to move, they unanimously reported it as a future development plan the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had prepared beforehand.

The reason why these ten newspapers were so unanimous, other than it being Xu Yi’s request, naturally it was because Count Sean and Karma City’s City Lord Count Anaris.

Baron Belil was of course aware of this, so he praised Xu Yi as a smart person.

Right now to him calling him not intelligent, Xu Yi was too lazy to argue it. He just revealed a smile at him and ignored him, turning to talk the other merchants that came.
