Volume 6 Chapter 141 - Only A Small Matter (1/2)
Great Magician Ferguson already couldn’t remember how many times he came to the Stantine Duchy, to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s main base.
He only remembered that every time he came here, he would find that there was a big change here like it was a new place.
For example, he had seen several large buildings before, but they had been surrounded by grassland and there weren’t any signs of humans. But now they were surrounded by a dense number of buildings that had traces of humans all over, looking quite lively.
It was only a developing Frestech City when he came here the first time, but in just a short two to three years of development, it had actually become such a large city. This really was shocking.
What surprised Great Magician Ferguson the most wasn’t the fact that this city was even bigger than the Candra Empire’s Wimbledon City when it came to scale, but rather that this city on the inside and outside was completely different from every traditional city on the continent.
Whether it was the street lamps on both sides of the road or the smooth road underneath him, they were all different from the usual cities.
And compared to seeing the city being filled with the luxurious and tall horse carriages of nobles that normal people wouldn’t even dare think of dreaming of, where most people had dirty clothes and looked ragged, the people of Frestech City all had beautifully crafted clothes and were filled with rigor, looking quite healthy.
The entire city had a powerful energy from head to toe, making people unable to stop themselves from moving faster in the streets.
Although Great Magician Ferguson was already close to sixty years old, he always felt that his mentality was quite young. Compared to the other spiritless cities on the continent, he rather liked the Frestech City that was more filled with life.
The several times he came here, he had seen the great changes each time and even Great Magician Ferguson couldn’t help thinking about moving here.
He even felt that if he lived here, he would be overall younger.
Compared to staying in the gloomy Magicians Guild headquarters all day, this place suited him much better.
However…...he naturally couldn’t do that.
Not only could he do this, his goal this time might destroy everything that had enamoured him about this place.
Thinking of this, Great Magician Ferguson’s good mood suddenly disappeared and his expression sunk quite a bit.
“Your excellency Great Magician, welcome.” A voice that was filled with energy suddenly came from in front of Great Magician Ferguson, making his dark mood disappear a bit.
Great Magician Ferguson looked up and saw a young girl with a round face in front of him, reaching her hand out.
“Yi? Vice chief Evita, why are you here? Where’s chairman Xu?” Great Magician Ferguson asked in a surprised voice.
“Sir chairman had to leave the company a few days ago, so he gave me a special order to welcome your excellency Great Magician.” Akali said with a smile.
Seeing the bright smile on Akali’s face, Great Magician Ferguson’s expression sank a bit more.
When he came here before each time, no matter what the reason was, Xu Yi always came to greet him. This time he had sent notice ahead of time through the Stantine Duchy’s Magicians Guild branch and Xu Yi had left a few days ago, it was clear that he didn’t plan on meeting him.
“This Xu Yi, how bold! Does he really plan on going against our Magicians Guild like this?”
Great Magician Ferguson was unhappy in his heart. Seeing that Akali’s gaze wasn’t that kind, he narrowed his eyes and asked, “Vice chief Akali, if chairman Xu isn’t here, is CEO Kennard also not here?”
“CEO Kennard?” Akali was a bit confused, “Your excellency Great Magician, you came on behalf of the Magicians Guild and Kennard isn’t a magician, so why would you want to see him?”
“He is your company’s CEO and since chairman Xu isn’t here, he is the highest ranking person in your company. I came to see your Frestech Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the Magicians Guild, so of course I need to see your highest ranking person.” Great Magician Ferguson said in a deep voice.
“There’s no need, right?” Akali shook her head, “Sir chairman said before leaving that the person sent by the Magicians Guild would talk about something related to magicians. Among the magicians in our company, other than Arch Magus Camilla and chief Evita, I have the highest position, so I’m the most suited to meet you. Your excellency Great Magician, may I ask why you’ve come this time?”
“You…..” Hearing Akali’s casual words, Great Magician Ferguson immediately knitted his brows and filled with rage.
If these really were Xu Yi’s instructions, it meant that he simply didn’t put the Magicians Guild in his eyes at all!
With his status as one of the elders of the Magicians Guild headquarters and the fact that he came on behalf of the Magicians Guild, even if it was in the Marlow Empire or the Candra Empire, it would be the highest ranking person who came forward. However, in this small Frestech Chamber of Commerce, it was Akali who didn’t have a high position and was only a Seventh Grade Magician who came forward. This wasn’t giving him or the Magicians Guild headquarters any face!
But he was an experienced person and quickly forced himself to calm down. He coldly looked at Akali and gave a cold snort, “Then you’re planning on making me discuss this matter with you here?”
Akali gave a clap, “Aiya, that was my mistake. Your excellency Great Magician, I’m sorry, please come with me.”
Great Magician Ferguson’s face sunk as he followed behind Akali. He went into the Magic Sedan that Akali drove and after a while, he entered the office the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had set up in Frestech City.
Akali brought Great Magician Ferguson into a meeting room and after personally making him some tea, she looked at him with a serious look like she was ready to respectfully listen to him.
