Volume 5 Chapter 84 - You aren’t qualified to discuss cooperation (1/2)

Hearing this sharp pitched sound that was like a bird shrieking, Xu Yi couldn’t help looking at him. Not to mention his half beard, he even looked at the few strands of fine hair on his face before he suddenly thought of a word that he had completely forgotten.

Eunuch.

Yes, this old man was very likely the rarely seen eunuch of the Sines Continent.

Eunuchs were very rare on the Sines Continent and right now, there were only eunuchs in the imperial palace of the Candra Empire. It was similar to the eunuchs in the imperial palaces on earth.

Other than this, even the imperial palace of the Marlow Empire didn’t have eunuchs.

For the imperial palaces of small countries like the Lampuri Kingdom and the Rudson Kingdom, there wouldn’t be things like this.

When Lampuri Thirteenth and King Eric were still alive, there were few men in the imperial palace staff, but there were never eunuchs. Once her majesty Seveni took over, all the help was changed to maids and it was even more impossible to have eunuchs.

So Xu Yi had been in this world for eight years, but he had never seen a eunuch. He had only heard it once from a book that described the traditions of the Sines Continent.

Now that he had seen a eunuch in front of him, Xu Yi’s expression couldn’t help becoming a bit strange.

Although it was only a trace, the old eunuch was very keen.

His expression didn’t look good to begin with, but it became even uglier.

“Hey, let me ask you, are you Xu Yi?” The old eunuch who had been called manager Mancini by Baron Belil asked this again.

Xu Yi took back his gaze and gave manager Mancini a salute before saying with a faint smile, “Yes, I am the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Xu Yi. May I ask if you are sir manager Mancini who is in charge of Prince Frank’s internal affairs?”

Seeing Xu Yi being respectful, manager Mancini’s gaze relaxed a bit. He gave a nod and gave a snort, “That’s right, I am. Chairman Xu, I’m here to see you on the order of his highness, so you should know what we’re here for, right?”

Xu Yi revealed a faint smile and looked over the five strong young men who were standing behind manager Mancini.

“These people, are they the ones his highness sent to participate in the race?”

“No, they are my guards, he’s one who will be participating in the race.” Manager Mancini shook his head and pointed behind the five strong men.

Xu Yi looked over in surprise past the five men and he saw a weak looking young man standing behind them.

This boy wasn’t even twenty years old, but he wasn’t that weak. He was just a bit skinnier compared to the five men.

Seeing Xu Yi look over, he looked up. His eyes were filled with curiosity and…..provocation.

Xu Yi couldn’t help smiling. He thought that young people like this could be seen everywhere, he didn’t know where Prince Frank had found this man.

“Since this is the one that his highness has chosen, he must be very skilled at driving. Only, I wonder…..does he have a driver’s license?”

Xu Yi looked at the boy and asked a question that had surprised everyone.

They looked at each other. Only Baron Belil had a strange look as manager Mancini couldn’t help asking, “Driver’s license? What is this thing?”

Xu Yi explained the use of the driver’s license and manager Mancini immediately broke out in laughter.

“We come from the Candra Empire, do we need the acknowledgement of your Frestech Chamber of Commerce and Lampuri Kingdom? His highness wants him to drive, so he can drive. Other than this, his highness frequently drives the Magic Sedan, does chairman Xu want his highness to test for a driver’s license?”

Xu Yi gave a shrug, not planning on arguing about this.

“Alright, but no matter what…..I ask that in the days that he stays here, he would at least follow the traffic laws. Otherwise if something were to happen, it would be very troublesome.”

Manager Mancini glared at him, “What? Who would dare cause trouble with us?”

Seeing the look of disdain on the faces of the young man and the five guards, Xu Yi completely understood the description that the people in the surrounding countries had of the Candra Empire.

This large empire, other than the Marlow Empire, they would always be aloof in other countries.

Xu Yi didn’t plan on pursuing this matter. Anyway, they would only be here for a few days and would head back after the race, so he just needed to be a bit careful and there shouldn’t be any problem.

After pausing, Xu Yi began discussing the matters of participating in the race with manager Mancini.
