Chapter 931 The Enlightenment of the Banquet Hall ([-])

"It is said that the recent luck of the Duke of Stoke is not very smooth. Enterprises involved in various industries, such as finance, real estate, food, processing, etc., have declared bankruptcy due to poor management. Your evaluation, Duke of Ke, is not very good. I also read a few newspapers saying that it is said that the Duke of Stoke is cooperating with many gangsters, which makes other companies unwilling to do business with you. Of course, most of the words in the newspapers are nonsense, with the Duke of Stoke’s power in Manchester, how can you cooperate with gangsters, right?” Duke Terry With a smile, the second scandal was thrown under the eyes of the Duke of Humington.

The bankruptcy of the Duke of Stoke has been aroused, and even the Queen knows about it, but no one can say clearly what the reason for the bankruptcy is. His own rights in Manchester united the gang to expand their business.

Most of the surrounding dukes didn't know the reason, and looked at the Duke of Stoke in front of him with a dubious look for a while, expecting his explanation.

"Is this really the case, Duke of Stoke?" Everyone was stunned, and this time it was the Queen who spoke, her voice became majestic, and she looked at Stoke.

The Duke of Stoke did not change his face, with a smile on his face, as if he had returned to his confident and fearless prodigal demeanor 16 years ago, "My lord queen, although I have the right to exercise extensively in the Manchester area, But that's only for the entire administrative scope. I'm not the governor of Manchester, nor the director of the police department. The police in Manchester are not within my scope of transfer. When the hotel was attacked by some mercenary organizations from pirates and gangsters United International, I could at least directly mobilize the police for assistance, but in reality? Goddess Heart has more than 200 guards, relying on the terrain of Goddess Heart. I withstood this terrorist attack, the blows suffered were extremely serious, the casualties were immeasurable, and the damage suffered made the Heart of the Goddess face the danger of collapse. If I was really connected with the local gangsters, why would I start from scratch? In the end, we didn't call in a single helper, and we all relied on the guards on our Goddess Heart to fight?"

Many dukes knew what happened to Goddess Heart. Hearing what Duke Stoke said, they all nodded. The Queen's expression softened, and there was a look of doubt in her eyes. What, I just picked up the wine glass in front of me and took a sip.

Duke Terry's face was a little embarrassing, and he smiled, "Speaking of it this way, then what I heard before should be fictional."

The Prince of France and the Prince of Luxembourg are obviously hearing about such a thing for the first time, and they both seem to be very interested. Even in the Eagle Empire, they will also be attacked, and it is also the internationally famous Goddess Heart. Looking at it this way It seems that the Eagle Empire has a lot of news recently. Both of them want to ask for various details, but because of the majestic Eagle Queen, they can only swallow their words abruptly.

The Duke of Humington glanced at him, and the Duke of Barrett received the hydrangea and threw it out, "I have also heard that the Duke of Stoke gained fame in the swordsmanship competition 16 years ago. This caused the Duke of Stoke to be so angry that he never participated in the swordsmanship competition again. So far, the Duke has not participated in the three swordsmanship competitions. This time he will suddenly participate in this swordsmanship competition. Do you want to restore the reputation of being depraved due to family bankruptcy and many troubles this time?"

Barrett is worthy of being a politician. He cleverly concealed the sharpness of his words, but in the ears of the Duke of Stoke, his words were sharp, like a sharp blade, cutting at his heart, and at the same time Let the Eagle Queen recall the past, and at the same time let the Duke of Stoke face the high pressure around him.

The Duke of Stoke's participation in the swordsmanship competition again is an event that makes the entire Eagle Empire extremely excited. Most of the lower-level nobles at the level of Earl and Marquis also came to the swordsmanship venue for this reason. The reason why many people from all over the country flocked to London City, the Duke present heard what Barrett said, and the people around him also became interested, and listened carefully to Duke Stoke's answer.

From the very beginning, the Duke of Stoke had already entered into a state of clarity like that of a swordsman. The Duke of Humington and several Dukes flirted with each other, and the scene of passing signals to each other was completely in his mind. There were originally disorganized balls of thread in his brain, and some veins began to appear one by one. This vein is like the surface of the earth that has undergone thousands of years of changes, highlighting the outline of the mountain range, although it is not very obvious. Obvious, but at least there are clues.

"Please pay attention to your wording, Duke Barrett, the angel Luchfer betrayed his own will, and was called the devil Satan after he fell, so the word fallen can only be used on the devil, not our glorious Stowe The momentum of the Duke family and the Duke of Stoke family may have been affected by the terrorist attack, which made them somewhat depressed, but the fire of justice and resistance will never be extinguished by darkness and fear. For the blooming of the empire, we, the Duke of Stoke's family, will be determined to participate in this swordsmanship competition, not to compete for fame and fortune for the fearless victory!"

When Duke Barrett began to speak, the noise in the entire banquet hall became smaller and smaller, until finally it became silent, except for the occasional sound of clinking cups and plates, and then disappeared After hearing all the noises, almost everyone was looking forward to the Duke of Stoke in front of them. To be honest, although the protagonist of this banquet hall is the royal family in name, the actual protagonist is the Duke of Stoke. .

The queen knew well that the royal banquet hall was never so full four years ago, eight years ago, and 12 years ago. The earls at the scene came more for the Duke of Stoke. His demeanor of defeating the entire Eagle Empire nobles with a single sword back then was to observe the Duke of Stoke, who held a sword and had an extraordinary style. People who have entered the city of London have the same idea.

So when Duke Barrett spoke, the surrounding voices became smaller and smaller, and when Duke Stoke retorted, the entire vast banquet hall could be heard even more. There was a spectacular artificial clear sky above, and no one below spoke. Listen Three seconds after the Duke of Stoke finished speaking, it was as if someone had dropped a needle on the ground, making that subtle vibrato, which was transmitted to everyone's heart, and with a sound of "Boom!", the entire venue suddenly There was a sky-high applause.
