through the dark road

Chapter 404 Disappointed Little Brother
When Mo Bei heard Alvin's justification, he couldn't complain in his heart.

Does this have anything to do with the first personality? The victim is looking for you, okay? .

But then he heard Alvin say:
"What I did that day was not out of my will. I may be that kind of bear, but I'm definitely not that kind of person!"

Hey. .You don't really split, do you?

The friends were all speechless, and the words sounded even more out of order, what were they talking about. . .

But when Mo Bei caught the eagerness hidden in Alvin's eyes, he immediately understood something.

This guy doesn't seem to be shirking responsibility, but maintaining his positive image!

What do you want to do, little brother! ?

When you are young, you don't want to work hard! ?
This is really the lazy guy from before. . .Nothing has changed!

Varenna frowned slightly, as if her thoughts were disturbed by Erwin's inexplicable words, and she was also speechless for a while, but just stayed on Erwin for a few seconds with a look of looking at a fool, and then shook her head slightly. Shaking his head, he didn't even mention Tabitha's matter, turned around and left.

The little brother obviously failed to leave a good impression on this plump and beautiful lady.

He looked at Varenna's back full of mature female charm, and sighed, looking a little disappointed.

Ned patted him on the shoulder, but there was no comfort on his smiling face.

Mo Bei spread his hands at the three girls who were a little dazed, saying that he couldn't understand what happened just now. Seeing Alvin's disappointed expression, he thought in his heart:

You are disappointed with a hammer.

None of the timing, occasion, atmosphere, expression, and identities on both sides are suitable!

It would be a ghost if I could be teased by you like that!

Through the window, they saw Varenna watching those wind turbines up close in the compound of the smelter under the guard of a team of attendants, quite curious.

However, when she talked with Conrad just now, she didn't ask about these things, but the main purpose was clear, and it always revolved around how to maintain the stability in Caldeum City, eliminate hidden dangers, and explicitly and secretly emphasized that the livelihood of ordinary residents is very important to the city. The importance of the kingdom.

With her relationship with Conrad, and Conrad's past, she didn't have to pretend to be like this.And from her tone, you can also feel the kind of determination that you don't want to listen to me, so this may indeed be her true thoughts.

On the surface, everything she said was for the better development of the family business, but if it was refined, she might have expressed her position from the very beginning.

This land is already too barren, and now Mobei and the others have ended the profit-seeking game of the rich and powerful, which is equivalent to creating an opportunity to open a new situation.

Varenna should also be aware of this, as well as various hidden dangers hidden under the upheaval, and came to remind Conrad.

Regardless of whether this woman hides deeper scheming or not, at least the measures she just proposed are worthy of approval.

Not only did she take over this heavy burden, but she even refused Perona's temptation to ask how much money she needed, which made Mo Bei and the others feel that they could trust her temporarily.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce and Trade, Borg, waited for almost an hour in a certain reception room before seeing Conrad slowly walking into the room.

"His Royal Highness is busy right now?" Borg joked without sarcasm.

He has long since lost his previous airs and temper, but similarly, Mo Bei and others have lost the patience to test him verbally. Conrad asked directly:
"What are your plans?"

Borg smiled wryly when he heard the words, paused, and said in a harsh voice:

"Small traders like us are forced to unite together. In the past, we were lucky enough to withstand the pressure brought by the princes and clans, but now the situation is completely chaotic. The Holy See not only has powerful force, but also controls the kingdom's speech. It is almost impossible to unite against the Holy See with a complex and diverse alliance, not to mention that our control over the family guards and mercenaries is decreasing day by day, and there is no hope in sight."

Conrad didn't speak, waiting for Berg to get to the point.

Borg understood and stopped talking. After a pause, he solemnly said:

"We want to advance and retreat together with His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Why don't you just submit to the Holy See? They will always give you a way to survive." Conrad asked noncommittal.

"The Holy See, but Virgil has completely torn faces with both of us. This time we are also implicated. The follow-up will definitely not give us a chance to breathe. Based on what you know about him, you think he will Let any fallen opponent live..."

"Do you think I have a chance of winning?" Conrad asked.

"To be honest, during this period of time, His Royal Highness's means and courage have amazed me, and they have completely subverted all of us's impression of you. I don't think it is accidental that the current situation has appeared. Your Highness has become the ultimate winner, and The ability to rebuild the rules!"

Perona, who was outside the door, heard Borg's seemingly sincere flattery, and couldn't help but cast a glance at Mo Bei, thinking that this prodigal bastard is not so powerful.

Mo Bei also heard the conversation inside through the undisguised crack of the door, and felt that the evaluation he received from behind-the-scenes trading during this period was still very pertinent!
There is no way, the pattern is too different, and there is no pressure to win.

"So, what are you going to do with me?" Conrad unceremoniously pointed out the key.

The implication is that the Federation of Commerce and Trade has reached the point where it exists in name only, and the hearts of the people are scattered. What difference does it make if we take you with us or not?
Borg was momentarily at a loss for words, as well as for snacks.

It's not because of you, a reckless lunatic, that we've become so miserable. . . .

He thought for a while, then sat up straighter, and said:
"If... if His Royal Highness can issue a statement to the outside world, announcing that he will work with the Chamber of Commerce and Trade to fight against the dictatorship of the Holy See, we may be able to re-form a cohesive force within us, and the various families and their guards and mercenaries will also give birth Confidence in the common resistance, we still have two days to prepare..."

Conrad raised his hand and waved it, Borg immediately stopped talking, and the hope in his eyes dimmed.

In fact, he knew in his heart that if it were him himself, he would not agree to such a decision to revive his opponent. Even though he had already stated that the Chamber of Commerce and Trade had no other way out, the trust basis for cooperation between the two parties was infinitely close to zero. .

Mo Bei, who was outside the door, also immediately noticed this possibility. He had suppressed prices for a short period of time. Even though he had slapped the Federation of Commerce and Trade before, these big businessmen were far from exhausted.

Right now, they are just being shattered from the hope of resistance, entering a stage of constant decline, allowing them to gain cohesion and confidence again?Forget it, turn around and give him a backstab. .

It’s impossible for those people to look forward to Conrad just because he climbed up in this situation, but seeing a thigh in despair, they would forcefully raise their breath and hug it tightly.

But when they feel that they are doing well again and can do things again, it will be hard to say. The two sides have been in a confrontational relationship for a long time, so how can they unify their ideology so quickly.

And to speak up in advance and be ready to be tough, this arrangement seems stupid to Mo Bei.

He heard Borg coughing unnaturally, but there was no further words. The conversation in the reception room had reached a deadlock, so he beckoned for a guard and said:
"Go and invite the lady."
