Our family is in decline

"Sir, why did you give them so much money just now?"

Disma followed on horseback, noting that the money just given far exceeded the tax for entering the city.

"If you don't give it to them, the goods will be searched for a long time and they will drag you away. If you encounter a greedy person and just find an excuse to detain the goods, you will still have to give it to them, and you will have to give more. Now at least leave a good impression and send it away. There is a difference between paying a squad leader and paying a bureaucrat~"

Lance explained the secret in one sentence, and this was what Walter told him.

Otherwise, how could an ordinary person have such experience?

"Let's go and settle down as soon as possible. Everyone needs to rest." Lance didn't waste time and hurriedly found a place to stay.

…………

A quarrel was breaking out inside the Watt Merchant Group's residence.

"York! You actually betrayed us!" The woman looked at the man in front of her and roared: "Are you worthy of my father's trust in you? How has our family ever treated you badly?"

"Miss, I am doing this to save the boss. Master Jean said that as long as you marry him, he will immediately mobilize people to rescue the boss in Hamlet."

York didn't feel any guilt after hearing this. Instead, he put on a smile. It seemed that he had learned all the skills of this businessman.

"Impossible! Go back and tell that guy to give up his plans, and he won't have to worry about my Walter family's affairs." The woman raised her hand and slapped the table, glaring angrily.

She is not one of those stupid women. She knows clearly that those guys are not really trying to save people, but just want to annex the Walter business group.

Even if his father is really not dead, all he will get when he gets married is his corpse.

"Miss, please think clearly. Now that the boss is missing, everyone is saying that he died at the hands of bandits. Without Lord Jean's help, I'm afraid you won't be able to solve the business group's troubles~" The smile on York's face turned sinister. Compassion appears to be a reminder, but in fact it has a threatening tone.

"Hmph! No matter how much trouble our Walter business group may have, it has nothing to do with Jean. Now it has nothing to do with you, because you have been expelled from our business group. Get out of here!"

The woman had also heard of those rumors. She had sent out teams to search for him, but they all failed in the end. She knew that her father was most likely to be in trouble.

But she can't show any timidity, because she still has a mother and a younger brother to take care of.

On the contrary, she has to be tougher, otherwise she will not be able to hold on to the property left by her father, and it will be eaten up by those greedy guys.

"The warehouse is empty now~ What do you need to deliver the goods? Do you know how much compensation you will have to pay if you fail to deliver the goods?"

The smile on York's face was somewhat sarcastic. He was originally Walter's right-hand man and qualified to touch most things. He knew the situation in the business group very clearly. Now he directly exposed the woman's strength with one sentence. confidence.

The woman was speechless when the truth was revealed, and could only fall into silence with a cold face.

But York seized on this weakness. He knew the real problem of the business group and continued to launch fatal attacks.

"And the boss took away most of the people on his last trip. If we leave, the Walter Business Group will be disbanded tomorrow."

As he spoke, he looked at the other members on the field and said bewilderedly: "Lord Jean said that in the past, his treatment did not change, but now everyone knows what the situation is, and staying here is not a good choice~"

The other members of the business group on the scene couldn't help but think too much. For this business group founded by the boss, if the boss Walter was still there, they believed that no matter what difficulties they encountered, they would eventually solve it and were willing to work hard for it.

But now that the boss is dead, it will be difficult for them to believe that the eldest lady can lead them out of the trough. In this era, even if she does well enough, a woman's identity is always a problem.

The reason why she was not questioned before was because Walter endorsed her, but now this problem has been exposed.

Coupled with York's words, although Walter is okay with them, no one wants to tie themselves to a broken ship.

Shaken, they were shaken.

"Miss, York is right, either you..."

The woman looked sharply at the other man with a surprised look on her face. She obviously didn't expect that the guard captain she had promoted would also rebel.

"Bill! You have forgotten that your son was seriously ill back then, and it was his father who spent a lot of money to ask a pastor to save him. We have not asked you to repay this money now."

The guard captain named Bill seemed a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more and began to move and stand behind York. No need to say what his attitude was.

"Hahaha!" York became arrogant when he saw this, and threatened the remaining people fiercely: "You have to think about it. When the business group collapses, you will have no chance to leave."

One person started, and more and more of the remaining people stood over. Only a few of them were left with tangled faces. After all, Walter was kind to them, and abandoning them at this time really couldn't help him. One level.

Seeing this scene, the woman felt sadness well up in her heart. The foundation created by her father finally fell into her hands. At this time, she completely lost her temper and raised her hand to wave towards the remaining people.

"You guys should go too."

The remaining few communicated with each other with their eyes, and they also realized that the business group was on the verge of collapse.

"Who's leaving?"

At this time, a voice broke the weird atmosphere on the field. Everyone couldn't help but look and found that a stranger had appeared in the hall at an unknown time.

"Who are you? Do you know this place..." A person stood up and wanted to accuse the person who came, but he never wanted to be ignored by that person.

"I must have come here by mistake. This is the headquarters of the Walter Business Group, right?" Lance walked up on his own, looking at the situation in the hall with a master's attitude and asked curiously.

"What's going on? What do you do?"

York noticed that something was wrong. Everyone who had contact with the caravan should know about it, but he had never seen this person before.

"Friend, this is our business group's own business. Isn't it a bit wrong for you to interfere~"

"If it's something else, I'm too lazy to worry about it." Lance didn't panic at all, and there was a hint of amusement in his eyes when he looked at them.

"Friend, there is a path to take. There is no need to offend people for a bankrupt business group. You must know that Lord Jean is..."

"So are you threatening me~"

Before he could finish speaking, Lance interrupted him directly.

York looked up and saw that the smile on the man's face faded and his face became cold. The sharp eyes looking at him were even more terrifying, which made the pressure increase sharply.

He has traveled all over the country for so many years, and has only experienced similar aura from people in high positions. Who is this person?
