Section 68 Decoration

It is precisely because of this that the original communication method - that is, writing letters, is still the mainstream of this world. Even for large multinational chambers of commerce, magic communication is just a supplement. The main method is the messenger and letter.

"That's right." The captain of the guard carefully looked up the document. He might not be able to understand the text, but at least he saw the bright red seal on the document. Besides, there is no special situation here now. Such a messenger with urgent messages left the city and was rare. "Open the door."

Several soldiers opened the city gate halfway. The messenger quickly rushed out of the city gate and quickly disappeared into the night.

"This young man looks a little familiar." After closing the city gate, guards suddenly raised it.

"Look familiar? How can I say that, could I see it on the wanted criminal list, right?"

"This is not... I remembered that when I was on duty here two days ago, I saw him entering the city because he refused to dismount."

"What?" asked a companion with interest.

"Then, he actually claimed to be the envoy of the royal city, and he also took out the letter from Duke Byron." The guard said. "Why did he become a messenger from a chamber of commerce this time?"

However, this mystery could not be solved. Because the messenger had already gone away at this time, even the sound of horse hooves could no longer be heard. The question ended here, and several guards made more than a bold guess, but soon they threw the matter behind their heads and began to return the topic to normal things - that is, wine and women.

A strong wind blew, and a butterfly caught a fireworks in the flower bed at the edge of the city gate. The guards at the gate did not notice that such a butterfly flew over their heads and rushed into the unpredictable night sky.

...

It was already morning. Lyle rode his snow-green horse and walked out of the city gate with a leisurely little step. The swelling on his eyes clearly showed that his last night was another sleepless night.

The snow-green horse carried him slowly towards the commercial office building. This office building is really unique - it is not far from the town, but it is deserted and no one is there. It seems that this building exudes an invisible evil spirit, which makes people instinctively unwilling to approach it.

Lyle got off at the door and walked slowly upstairs. Although the building was rented out, there were almost no people there. Therefore, there was a strange emptiness in the house.

"I'm here." Lyle knocked on the door at the door, then pushed the door in. Sure enough, the woman was already waiting for him here.

"Yeah." The woman named Shirley made a sound that she didn't know what it meant, indicating that she already knew it.

"Both things went smoothly," said Lyle. "I've told Dix about the 'Swift' championship. The first reaction of that guy was not convinced... But I think he would ask around immediately inquire about it in the next place. It doesn't take much time for him to come to Ash Rufate."

"What about the other thing? What about the stock raising of the Shuangma Chamber of Commerce?"

"I revealed a little bit of annoyance to the senior executives of the Chamber of Commerce through channels. I think they will definitely go to Ash Rufate. After all, they urgently need a sum of money to further carry out futures trading."

"Did you finish these things just today?" The woman's voice was always full of contempt, arrogance and disdain, so even a few simple words to her would make Lyle feel extremely depressed.

"Yes." Lyle replied. He subconsciously told a lie. In fact, it had been two or three days since the matter was completed, but he just dragged it and didn't want to see this woman.

"Then there must be a confusion in time. I learned yesterday the results of the negotiation between the Shuangma Chamber of Commerce and Ashu Rufate. I just learned this morning that Dix had visited Ashu Rufate yesterday."

Lyle opened his mouth to speak, but said nothing.

"Shuangma Chamber of Commerce," Shirley continued. "Because of the raising of shares, Ishu Rufate had a detailed discussion with Ishu Rufate. They wanted Ishu Rufate to invest in the horse racing prize, and the condition was that in addition to participating in the shares, he could also leave a place for him at the top of the Chamber of Commerce. According to previous records, this share could generate an income of about 1,000 Jin'erly every year, and the salary for that position was at least 200 Jin'erly. Unfortunately, Ishu Rufate refused this suggestion and used the money to buy the castle of the Dell family and the attached land. Now he has moved into his new home for several days. Of course, his two fiancées are too."

The way she spoke was calm, she was completely calm and she was just like explaining an ordinary thing. But this tone caused a great influence, causing anger and fear to emerge on Lyle's face.

"As for Dix... he returned from his trip, the first thing he did after returning home was to visit Ashu Rufate. This time he was really in a hurry, and he didn't even send a servant to inform him. Someone saw that he looked gloomy and afraid of people when he went out, but when he came back, it was much better. In fact, not long after, his outstanding horse "Swift" returned to Dix's stable. For this reason, he paid Ashu Rufate about 15,000 gold Oly. Because there was no such amount of cash, Dix gave several treasures from the family, a piece of land and some other pieces of things to Dix for Dix. The deal was very cost-effective, because Dix's horse had been estimated at 25,000--in fact, based on the performance of the horse in the horse racing club, even 25,000 is underestimated."

"You..." Lyle clenched his fists. This woman! How could she play with him like a fool?

"Your lie is not at all clever." The woman said in a seemingly calm tone, but her tone was better than any contempt that could be expressed in words.

"So, your plan failed? The Shuangma Chamber of Commerce's stock promotion failed, and Dix did not have a conflict with Ashu Rufate." Lyle calmed down and tried his best to turn the topic to another matter.

"On the contrary, my plan succeeded." Shirley replied. "Ash Rufate doesn't have much cash in hand now. As for jewelry, land, castles, etc., it looks quite valuable on the surface, but when it is really in urgent need of cash, they have to be sold at a big discount. In addition, because of Dix, the horse that could have easily exchanged for 20,000 hardware coins was only exchanged for 15,000 yuan. This deal was a big loss."

"But why does he need so much cash?"

"Hmph." The woman let out a disdainful breath with her nose. "But..." she seemed to sigh. "There is only so much I can do now."

At this moment, a greeting suddenly came from downstairs. "Is anyone here?"

A few minutes later, a young man in uniform ran up from downstairs. It can be seen from his dusty look that the messenger had arrived at the fastest speed.

"Miss Shirley?" As he spoke, the messenger's eyes looked up and down on Lyle, but in the end he chose to ignore his existence. "I brought the relevant authorization letter. As you requested, Lord Duke prepared the funds you need. With this authorization letter, you can dispatch the funds through the Chamber of Commerce at will."

Funds... When Lyle heard this word, he couldn't help but look at the woman. Shirley no longer faced them with the back of the chair like before, but turned around with the people and the chairs.

This is not the first time Lyle has seen this woman, but he has not seen her true body in the past many times. She is petite and has a veil on her face. In fact, Lyle has never seen this woman's face so far, because this woman always seems to want to hide herself and has few opportunities to see her body.

"In addition to this, there should be some verbal messages." Her voice came from Shirley's veil.

"That's right." said the messenger. "The Duke said that he was very dissatisfied with the progress..."

"If he hadn't sent the idiot Io to disturb the situation, the matter here had been done!" Shirley screamed, and in this scream, Lyle seemed to hear the voice mixed with strong emotional fluctuations. Of course, it was nothing strange, Lyle didn't think too much.

The next second, Shirley calmed down again. "Sorry, I was a little excited. Keep talking."

"The Duke means that it is already the limit to dispatching so much money for you. I hope you can turn your work itself into a profitable transaction as you promised."

"How much money I will pay him back in the end," Shirley replied.

"Hope so." The messenger bowed. "Anyway, I have sent the authorization letter, you have a year now."

"Where are there any manpower matters? He has only prepared six people for me? What can this person do?"

"The Duke thought you could find the right person for yourself," said the messenger. "With so much money, he thinks it's not a problem for you."

"He thinks that qualified subordinates are the same as fruits on roadside stalls. Can you buy a few if you want?" Shirley said in a tone of gritting teeth.

"He thought that since you have your own channel in Wallonia, it would be easy to find a few capable subordinates through this channel." The messenger replied with a smile. It should be pointed out that during the whole speech, the messenger was always kind and even smiled, but this sentence hit Shirley like a sharp sword. The woman's face was covered with a veil, covering her expression, but her body shivered for a while - such an obvious thing could even be seen by a blind man.

"Have he... said anything else?" Shirley asked after a long time.

"Nothing else." The messenger still kept smiling, "but I think the Duke has the greatest tolerance and patience to you. If you can do things well, then everything is easy to say... but if you can't do it... I don't think he can tolerate another failure."

After saying this, the messenger said goodbye and left. Only Lyle and Shirley were left. The former had noticed some signs, but he could not fully understand the truth of the whole matter, so he couldn't figure it out for a while. The latter was sitting in a chair like a statue, and had not moved for a long time.
