"I firmly oppose head-on confrontation. Even if Sevit Taros' status in the Taros family has become increasingly declining in recent years, he is still the son of Count Taros. I don't think we can get any benefits when conflicting with him... Mr. Adrien, you are a local aristocrat in Renas, and of course you have enough bargaining chips to fight, but we merchants rely on policies to make a living. After all, Renas is His Excellency Sevit's city..."

A middle-aged man with two beards and a fat figure sat behind the round table, holding a silver cup in his hand, wearing a gem ring, and his small eyes were talking while looking around at the people around him, observing his expression.

His words made the young man sitting in the main seat brow and his expression was a little unpleasant.

"Yes, Sevet Taros is the son of the duke, but according to the laws in the "Noble Law" of the Ryan Empire: the noble nobles among the descendants of the noble nobles shall not be allowed in the noble nobles except hereditary ones. Don't you know?"

Taking a sip of the wine in the golden wine glass, the young man, the current head of the Adrien family, asked back with a frown.

The titles of nobles are divided into five levels: Duke, Hou, Bo, Zi, and Male.

The so-called high-ranking titles, namely, Gong, Hou, and Bo, are the three titles, because most nobles from the count are feudal lords who control large areas, and the meaning of the whole decree is that if a person who already has high-ranking titles in a family, such as Sevit Taros' father is the highest-ranking duke, then his descendants are not allowed to become high-ranking ones.

Otherwise, with the number of descendants of several duke families in the empire, if the power of the family was used to raise a group of marquis and earls, how could the Ryan Empire have so many fiefs for them?

You should know that even hereditary titles must be lowered according to the rules of the Ryan Empire. That is to say, when the Duke of Taros abdicated, the successor will be the Marquis of Taros.

"Sevet Taros claimed to be the Ghost Face Earl, but in fact he did not get recognized by the Ryan Empire. He was just a title obtained through the name of his father. His real title was Viscount!"

Speaking of this, Adrien had a hint of resentment in his eyes. His family had been operating in Renas for a long time. He thought that he could become the actual controller of the city through operation after he succeeded to the head of the family. He who controlled a medium-sized city might have been promoted to the Earl family if he worked hard for a few years.

Who knew that when his plan was about to succeed, he suddenly airborne a Sevet Taros to Renas. The actual title was obviously the same as himself, but because of his father, he enjoyed the privilege of the count. He completely controlled Renas, but he also pulled all the forces that originally belonged to him and dug them over.

But Adrien is also a smart person. He knows that if he wants to force himself to fight with this young master with a golden spoon in his arms, the chance of winning is very small. There is no way. Even if his family has more capital in Renas, the other party's backer is still not something he can mess with.

So he kept waiting, waiting for the other party to harm Renas's actions to worsen, and waited until the other party completely aroused public grievances!

It can be foreseen that once a public riot occurs, no matter whose son it is, the imperial government will investigate. In order to protect Sevit Taros, the Taros family will have a great chance to transfer him to other cities and continue to be mayors to enjoy their happiness, and this city will naturally fall into its own hands.

He will appear as a savior and become Renas's well-deserved leader!

This idea is very good and very feasible. In fact, after a few years of waiting, the day he was looking forward to was about to come.

However, someone thought of the same method as him, and he acted faster than him!

At this critical moment, Sevit Taros was attacked.

This is a good thing!

At least in Adrien's opinion, it was a great thing. He wanted this guy who robbed his position to be killed on the street, the more miserable the better.

However, things went against my wishes... I almost went to the abyss!

Who would have thought that the waste who doesn't know anything, Grandet, the pretentious clown will suddenly become enlightened?

We set the minimum wage and maximum working hours, and we spent the money of the destroyed families to build Renas...

"Sir Adrien Court...Sir Adrien!"

The sound from beside interrupted Adrien's increasingly rude and dark thinking. His gaze refocused, sweeping over the people around the long table in front of him. They were all well-known figures in the upper class of Renas, including the presidents of the chamber of commerce who run a large number of shops, capitalists who own several factories, and several barons in Renas.

They share a common identity: people who are dissatisfied with what Sevit Taros has done recently

Their lives were originally extremely beautiful. In Renas, there was a mayor who took the lead in making money. These people were even more unscrupulous, but none of the new policies recently implemented by Sevit Taros were not harming their interests.

"Sevet Taros implemented these policies without consulting with any of us. In my opinion, this is a great disrespect for us. He squandered the money he earned from other people's hard work to those civilians, but ignored those of us who really support him. This is a regrettable thing..."

As the leader of this alliance of interests, Adrien acted in a heartbreaking manner. Those who didn't know thought how much money Sevit Taros owed them.

If Donald was here, he would definitely laugh at this group of ungrateful guys. Every policy he proposed was to ensure the normal progress of commercial activities. The so-called damages were simply things obtained by illegal exploitation, which was only in Renas that he would be considered "legitimate income from labor."

"So what should we do? Mr. Ans is actually right. Whether Sewit Taros is a viscount or an earl, he is always the mayor of Renas. As long as he is determined to implement the new policy, we will never interfere."

"Wrong! What you meant was the inability to interfere at the political level, and our power was not in the government at all, but in factories that opened all over the entire Renas and produced various important materials!"

Adrien raised his chin and glanced proudly over everyone around him, and then said,

"I agree with what Mr. Ans said cannot confront him head-on, but this does not mean that we have no other means. Isn't Severe Taros going to do urban construction? He wants to rebuild residential areas, so we cut corners and delay construction periods. He wants to set a minimum wage. Then we will unite to raise prices... I want all the citizens of Renas to know that Severe Taros is a complete liar!"

"The deepest despair comes from being completely deprived of hope after seeing it... By then, the people of Renas City will definitely go crazy!"

There were not many stupid people present, and soon someone understood Adrien's meaning.

As soon as he said this, the other people's thinking seemed to have found a breakthrough. For a moment, the quiet conference room seemed to have become a downtown area, and people kept expressing their opinions, and one by one, one by one, kept jumping out of these guys who were already full of bad water.

Looking at this scene, a gloomy smile slowly appeared on Adrien's face, and he raised his neck and drank the wine in his glass.

After tonight, they will become the driving force behind the scenes, and the only one who really fights against Sevit Taros will be the people at the bottom of society.
