Volume 6 Chapter 152 - Anger (1/2)

Xu Yi’s face was dark as he looked at the documents on the desk in front of him, unable to hide the anger in his eyes at all.

These documents were reports from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s branches over the past month. There were a total of thirteen of them and they were all reporting on accidents that happened to subordinates of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

These accidents included caravans being robbed, offices being ransacked, and people dying in accidents…...

Among these things, what concerned Xu Yi the most and created the most loss was the report of the transport ships being attacked three times on the seas.

Strictly speaking, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was a large company with offices in countless countries on the Sines Continent, so it wasn’t strange for accidents to happen each month.

After all, this continent was equal to the feudal society stage of earth. Whether it was communication, public security, or social order, it couldn’t compare to a modern civilization like earth.

But before this, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce never had more than ten accidents in a month, so this really was too dense.

If it was before when the Frestech Chamber of Commerce wasn’t famous on the continent, so their caravans would be attacked and some accidents would happen to their subordinates, it wouldn’t be strange. But now that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was a large and famous company on the continent, who would provoke them?

Moreover, what really caught Xu Yi’s attention and raised his vigilance was the three consecutive attacks on the transport ships.

Although most of the pirates on the endless seas had already been eliminated by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guard fleet and the Candra Empire’s navy, the endless seas were boundless. To protect against these accidents, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce sent out their guard fleet to patrol the seas to provide a certain amount of defenses. Even the large transport Magic Ships would be equipped with some military magic machines so they could defend themselves.

With the might of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s military magic machines, as well as the steel hull of the Magic Ships, a normal boat was unable to deal with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s transport Magic Ships at all.

However, from these three reports, it clearly indicated that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s fleet had suffered heavy losses in these three attacks. There were even two large transport Magic Ships and five guard ships that sank because of these attacks.

This information came from the crew that could barely escape. The Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guard ships couldn’t block the attack of the other side because not only did they have a large amount of High Grade Magicians, there were even Great Magicians!

“Great Magicians……” Xu Yi gritted his teeth which made a crackling sound as his eyes filled with endless rage, “Good! Very good! Those damn fellows, I thought that they would have some scruples, but I never thought that I had underestimated them. Those fellows are ten times more shameless than I thought!”

Still and Arch Magus Camilla sitting in front of Xu Yi looked at each other and didn’t know how to comfort Xu Yi.

After a while, Still hesitantly said, “Xu Yi…..You shouldn’t be in a rush to draw conclusions. This might not be the work of the Magicians Guild headquarters, they…..shouldn’t be this shameless, right?”

“That isn’t certain.” It wasn’t Xu Yi who refuted this, but rather Arch Magus Camilla beside her.

He looked at Xu Yi before turning to Still with a serious and dark look on his face.

“Still, you are still young, so you don’t know that those fellows are a bunch of shameless people who only care about their own greed, so they can do any shameless thing. This time Xu Yi had shaken their foundation, so it isn’t strange that they would fight back at all. Moreover, I think that this is just them giving Xu Yi a warning.”

“Just a warning?” Still’s mouth opened wide in surprise as she pointed at the thick documents on the table. Just in these thirteen reports, there were over four hundred casualties and losses as high as seven hundred thousand gold coins for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

If this was just a warning, then what would a real attack be like?

Thinking of this, Still couldn’t help being a bit worried. After hesitating a bit, she turned to Xu Yi, “Xu Yi…..Actually I feel that…...it isn’t impossible to cooperate with the Magicians Guild headquarters, just that you……”

Seeing the expression Xu Yi looked over with, Still immediately closed her mouth.

Xu Yi silently looked at Still for a bit before giving a sigh and shaking his head.

“Still, do you still not understand, this isn’t a private grudge between me and the Magicians Guild, it isn’t even a conflict of interests, it’s a foundation clash of ideals, so there’s no room for negotiations at all.”

“It can’t be, right? Even if you want all the magicians on the continent to join the magic machine industry, the Magicians Guild would be happy to work with you on that, so why do you have to go against each other?” Still had a confused look, “I feel that as long as both sides are willing to cooperate, it will even benefit everyone.”

Xu Yi curled his lips and turned to Great Magician Camilla.

“Grandfather, do you think there is a possibility of cooperating?”

Arch Magus Camilla shook his head without any hesitation.

“Impossible, unless you give the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to them.”

Xu Yi spread his hand, “It’s clearly impossible for me to give the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to them. It’s not because I’m not willing, but I’m not assured in giving it to them. I don’t believe that they will properly develop the current magic machine industry that is on the right path, so you see……”

Xu Yi turned back to Still, “This is an irreconcilable difference, so there’s no true possibility of cooperating.”

“But…...I feel that there is still hope, as long as both sides are willing to take a step back……”
