Volume 5 Chapter 109 - Count Will’s stance (1/2)

Xu Yi was a bit confused as he looked at Count Will.

What had happened that would cause this Count Will who had always been friendly to him to become this cold, even demanding that he give an explanation?

Taking the document, Xu Yi found that it was a report from the Lampuri Kingdom’s royal army intelligence department.

The contents weren’t complex. It just stated that in a secret place near the Sack Kingdom’s capital of Nordham City, there was a certain regiment that was armed with Magic Repeating Crossbows.

Based on the design, they were exactly the same as the ones that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce produced.

Moreover, according to information from the Sack Kingdom’s royal army, they were also developing Magic Bazookas and other military magic machines, which required more vigilance.

After he read this document, Xu Yi was silent for a bit before asking Count Will, “Lord Count, what explanation do you need me to give you?”

Count Will knit his brows as his face sunk.

“Chairman Xu, are you acting? Only your Frestech Chamber of Commerce can develop military magic machines, but the Sack Kingdom has been equipped with Magic Repeating Crossbows, as well as developing Magic Bazookas and other military magic machines. This is clearly related to your company.”

Xu Yi gave a laugh and asked back, “Lord Count, what status are you asking this question from?”

Count Will was stunned before saying with a bit of anger, “Chairman Xu, what does this mean? The Sack Kingdom is our Lampuri Kingdom’s enemy and your Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s enemy. Now that there is this serious problem, is it a problem for me to ask you for an explanation?”

Xu Yi looked at him with a faint smile before shaking his head, “Lord Count, I hope that you understand one thing. The Frestech Chamber of Commerce is the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Lampuri Kingdom is the Lampuri Kingdom. Although we’ve had a good cooperation between us and I’m happy to continue supporting the Lampuri Kingdom, this does not mean that our Frestech Chamber of Commerce will always be with the Lampuri Kingdom. It also does not mean that we will follow how the Lampuri Kingdom wishes to handle matters.”

Count Will never expected Xu Yi’s words to be this strong and he was shocked. He looked at Xu Yi with wide eyes for a bit and only after a while, he said with a look of disbelief, “Chairman Xu, you…..What do you mean by this?”

“I should be the one asking you this?” The smile on Xu Yi’s face disappeared as his expression turned cold, “Lord Count, we’ve had a good cooperation, but now that you’ve received this information that hasn’t been confirmed and you’ve come here to question me, as well as showing this attitude of not trusting me, I am very confused. If this is your personal behaviour, I can still barely accept this, but if it is the wish of her majesty to question me, I can only say that I am very disappointed.

“You…..” Count Will knit his brows and wanted to get angry, but suddenly remembered something and his expression changed.

Xu Yi watched as the expression on his face changed several times before revealing a slight look of panic. He just gave a soft snort and threw the document on the desk before leaving the room.

He came back to his personal viewing stand and found that the race was about to begin. Xu Yi casually sat down in his spot and patiently waited for the race to start.

After a while, there was a rush of footsteps before behind him as a person came up to him.

“Xu……Chairman Xu……”

Xu Yi looked at Count Will who had a complex look and pointed at the seat beside him.

“Sit and talk.”

Count Will hesitated a bit before nodding and sitting down.

There had been several other important people from Banta City invited to watch this race, but after Count Will sat down, his subordinates asked the others to move away from the two of them.

Suddenly, there was a ten meter space that was created between the two of them and the others.

In this noisy place, there was no need to worry about others hearing their conversation.

Count Will still wasn’t assured, but after seeing Xu Yi’s expression, he didn’t say anything else.

After hesitating for a bit, he finally cleared his throat and said in a low voice, “Chairman Xu, I have to apologize for my attitude just now. Moreover, I must clarify that that was only my personal behaviour, her majesty didn’t know anything about this.”

“Oh? Is that so? Then how did that document end up in your hands?” Xu Yi casually asked.

Seeing that Xu Yi didn’t have a smile, Count Will couldn’t help wiping his forehead as he quickly explained, “Chairman Xu, you should know that Banta City also has a military magic machine research department, so the army headquarters gave me this report in hopes of having me ensure that nothing had gone wrong from our side. I was also confused and blamed you and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, I hope chairman Xu can forgive me.”

Xu Yi just gave a non committal nod.

He was not that surprised by Count Will’s large change in attitude.
