The middle-aged businessman quickly introduced to the side: "Master, this is our leader."

Scott nodded slightly: "Oh, nothing, after all, your people promised to pay me 25,000 Royal Roses, so I can't collect money and not do anything, right?"

Bad understood it and immediately replied respectfully: "We will prepare a royal rose worth 25,000 for the master immediately. But it may take some time. I wonder if the master can go in and wait?"

"Okay." Scott agreed, then brought Garen and several other soldiers into Bud's home.

Entering the hall, Bud asked Scott to sit on the seat. Scott was not polite and went straight to sit on the seat. Bud took a few businessmen to sit along with him.

"Dare you ask which Lancaster nobleman is? Why have I never seen you before?" Looking at Scott, Bud carefully raised his own question.

After drinking water and moistening my throat, Scott replied: "I am the Earl of Norfolk, the nobleman of Lancaster. I came to London for something this time. It is normal that you have never seen me, because I have been in the Norfolk area."

"Did I remember that Norfolk was not subordinate to the York family?" Bud exclaimed after hearing Scott's words.

Because in Bard's impression, the Lancaster nobles were mainly concentrated in the north and west, and the York family was mainly concentrated in the south and east, and Norfolk happened to be in the eastern part of England, so facing the Earl of Norfolk, Bard raised his own questions.

"Can you question my identity as a nobleman in Lancaster?" Scott sank his face, pointed to the red rose pattern on his collar and said coldly: "You should have seen Lancaster's red rose. Do you not recognize me?"

Bud was under great pressure, and he stuttered and said more cautiously: "No, no, no, master, the red rose on your clothes is real. I believe that master's identity must be true, otherwise you would not protect our people from Mr. Atwood's embarrassment. But I just wonder how Norfolk belongs to Lancaster?"

"Maybe you are more curious about what status I am in the Lancaster family?" Scott laughed: "My mother is His Majesty the King's aunt, and I am His Majesty the King's cousin, so what is my identity and status in the Lancaster family?"

Bud was so scared that his face pale: "Please forgive me for my rudeness!"

Scott put down his cup and said, "Sit down and forgive your rudeness!"

"Thank you for your kindness." Bud smiled and showed kindness to Scotts: "Master, our situation in London is very bad. No one of the great nobles is willing to protect us. It is rare to meet you now, so Bud begs for your protection and help!"

After saying that, he took off his hat and knelt in front of Scott, and the nobles behind him also fell to his knees.

"I want me to protect you? Yes!" Scott felt relieved: "But you should know that I am the Earl of Norfolk. My jurisdiction is mainly in Norfolk. I have never been able to interfere in London, so I cannot help you with your requests! Of course, if you are willing to go to Norfolk, then I can provide you with commercial protection in all aspects and provide you with various preferential policies. What do you think?"

When he heard Scott's words, Bud and other merchants hesitated.

Although Norfolk is closer to London, the Norfolk area is too desolate, and the transportation is not convenient and the population is not large. If you move there, you may only do business that loses money.

Several merchants whispered and finally Bard answered: "We are willing to go to Norfolk, but the Norfolk area is really not conducive to our development, so I'm sorry, we can't leave London and go to Norfolk, but we can do business in Norfolk..."

Before Bud finished speaking, Scott interrupted him directly: "What I need is that you build the Chamber of Commerce in Norfolk, not you come here to do business, so there is nothing to say between you and me."

It is definitely uncomfortable to be rejected, so no matter how Bud and others beg, Scott insisted on the conditions and refused to let go: "Don't say anything else, I still say the same thing, the chamber of commerce and all merchants must go to Norfolk."

…………

The two sides have been quarreling for nearly an hour, but still no agreement has been reached.

Seeing that the 25,000 Royal Roses were ready, Scott stood up and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, since the reward has been delivered, I will leave!"

"Master, are you really not considering our conditions anymore?" Seeing that Scott was about to leave, Bud quickly asked to stay, hoping that Scott would change his mind.

However, Scott still shook his head: "Don't talk about any other conditions. I will not accept anything other than that condition! Of course, if you think about it in the future, I will welcome you at any time!"

After saying this, Scott left with his men and the 25,000 Royal Rose without looking back.

Looking at Scott's leaving, Bud shook his head helplessly: "Oh, it's rare to meet a great nobleman, but he ended up dispersing unhappily!"

The businessman next to him comforted, "But, it's not our fault. Mr. Bud, the conditions proposed by Mr. Scott are really too harsh! He didn't think about it carefully. Can Norfolk carry us? In such a barren and desolate area, how can we go?"

Bard spoke out and stopped him from continuing: "Okay, don't talk nonsense. Compared with other nobles, the Norfolk master is already very noble and etiquette, but Norfolk is too backward! Forget it, if you miss it, just miss it. Let's find a way to defect to other great nobles."

"That's it." Other businessmen agreed.

…………

After leaving the door, Garen asked in confusion: "Master, it's okay to let them do business, why do you want them to move the Chamber of Commerce to Norfolk?"

Scott replied: "Let them do business in Norfolk not completely drive the development of Norfolk. We can always serve as a foil for London! Only by relocating all the chamber of commerce and its members to Norfolk, can Norfolk have hope of catching up with London!"

"But, it's not good to just spend a lot of business money outside the door like this, right?" Galen still felt a pity.

Scott laughed: "I want to have their loyalty and obedience more than having their wealth."
