Volume 6 Chapter 52 Creating fame

Although Cantona was the chairman of a decent sized company, he was born from a normal family in Banta City, so his experiences were limited and he could only obtain limited news. So he couldn’t understand how the Rudson Kingdom defeating the Candra Empire would suddenly make Marquis Southgate change his attitude.

But Marquis Southgate was naturally someone who had his own awareness.

When chairman Cantona went looking for Riley, Marquis Southgate was currently discussing the war between the Rudson Kingdom and the Candra Empire with two other people.

“According to the reports, the Candra Empire suffered heavy losses on the battlefield. The key to this was the large number of military magic machines the Rudson Kingdom army was armed with, which greatly increased their battle strength. And the military magic machines that played the most crucial role, according to the reports came from a small unknown company in the Stantine Duchy.”

The one who said this was a middle aged man with a serious expression who looked very dignified.

After saying this, he looked at Marquis Southgate with a look of deep meaning.

“Marquis Southgate, although this small company is not well known in our Marlow Empire, I think that you should have some understanding.”

“Duke Roosevelt, you must be talking about the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.” Marquis Southgate revealed a faint smile. He wasn’t surprised at all that Duke Roosevelt who had great control over the Marlow Empire army would bring this topic to him, “That’s right, I do know about the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and if we’re talking about deep understanding…..I can only say that I know a bit more than the others in the empire, but that doesn’t mean that I have a deep understanding of them.”

Duke Roosevelt knitted his brows, “But I’ve heard that you’ve personally gone to the Stantine Duchy twice and then brought this Frestech Chamber of Commerce to your private territory. It also seems like you have some cooperations with the small companies that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce brought from a certain small country to open up some factories?”

“That is correct.” Marquis Southgate gave a nod.

“Then…..Marquis Southgate, how much do you know about the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s military magic machines?” Duke Roosevelt kept asking.

“If I said that I don’t know a thing about the military magic machines, would you believe it?” Marquis Southgate spread his hands. He shook his head and gave a sigh, “My interest in the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was only because I made contact with the household magic machines that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce made. Then when I went to work with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, I only pulled them to my territory for these household magic machines, it wasn’t related to the military magic machines at all.”

“Really?” Duke Roosevelt narrowed his eyes.

Marquis Southgate turned to look at the other middle aged man who had a kind look.

“As for the matter related to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the other companies, I’ve already made a report to the empire’s department of commerce and the noble land management department of the royal parliament. Count Duplow should know about this.”

The kind looking middle aged man nodded with a faint smile, “Yes, Marquis Southgate made an application to the department of commerce which clearly explained everything. Including the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, there are no problems with the investments of the other companies from the Lampuri Kingdom and the Stantine Duchy on Marquis Southgate’s territory.”

Duke Roosevelt looked at Count Duplow and slightly knitted his brows, feeling a bit dissatisfied.

He wasn’t interested in Marquis Southgate’s business with these companies on his territory, he just cared about what Marquis Southgate was cooperating with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce on.

Or to be more precise, if there was cooperation when it came to military magic machines.

The Candra Empire had suffered heavy casualties in their two operations against the Rudson Kingdom, so now the military magic machines which the Rudson Kingdom had used to repel to Candra Empire was something all the countries on the continent cared about.

As the Candra Empire’s only enemy on the continent, the Marlow Empire naturally cared about it even more.

He represented the army headquarters to talk to Marquis Southgate, hoping that he could get some information on the military magic machines from him.

But Marquis Southgate showed that he didn’t want to cooperate, which made him a bit dissatisfied.

After thinking about it, he calmed down and made his expression more serious as he looked over Marquis Southgate.

“Marquis Southgate, the military magic machines are very important to the army, so I hope that you will work with the army headquarters and provide as much accurate information as possible.”

Marquis Southgate looked over at Count Duplow on the side and seeing that he gave a nod, he understood. After intentionally pausing, he said with a nod, “Alright, as a citizen of the empire, I should contribute to the empire. However, I really don’t understand much about the military magic machines, so I can’t share that much information.”

Hearing this, Duke Roosevelt’s expression sunk.

However, Marquis Southgate actually changed the topic.

“But I can be an intermediary to introduce the army headquarters to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, what do you think?”

Duke Roosevelt’s expression softened and he said while laughing, “Of course it’s better if it’s like this. Un…..this is very important to the army headquarters, so I hope that you can contact the Frestech Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible.”

“No problem.”

Seeing that Marquis Southgate agreed, Duke Roosevelt didn’t waste any more words and bid farewell to Marquis Southgate.
