Chapter 251 Miconia – Commercial Association
Chapter 251 Miconia – Commercial Association
“What the hell is going on?” Lathel shouted.
He actually saw Rolen sitting in the cage and hugging her knees. She looked desperate, and it seemed that she had cried a lot.
Lathel ran in the direction where the carriage carrying the cage entered.
“Young master.” Akna spoke up.
However, Lathel didn’t care; he hurriedly ran towards the passageway for transporting slaves. But two guards, one wearing armour like a gladiator and the other wearing a magical robe, immediately stood in front of him.
“Sorry, this is a restricted area, you are not allowed to enter.”
“Please step back. If you continue to advance, we will attack you.”
Lathel was startled. He looked at the car that had disappeared behind the walls, sighed, and said: “Sorry, I was a little interested in that slave, so I couldn’t control myself.”
Having finished speaking, he slowly retreated back. Seeing him retreat, the guards did not continue to threaten him.
“Young master…” Akna walked to his side and quickly pulled him somewhere else: “Young master, you are too impulsive.”
“Sorry, I…” Lathel gritted his teeth. He didn’t think he would see Rolen in a slave cage, so he lost control a bit.
“I understand your feelings, Young Master…” Akna said, as she looked at Lathel with love: “Don’t worry, we can protect Rolen by buying her.”
Hearing that, Lathel nodded: “Thank you, Akna. Sorry, I lost a bit of control.”
“No, Young Master, your actions have shown me that you are truly a good person.” Akna smiled and said: “But… this place is not like other places; we can only follow the rules here.”
“After all, this place cannot be completely controlled by even the Queen; it is controlled by the Mainland Chamber of Commerce.”
“What?! Is there an autonomous organisation like this in the Karol Empire?” Lathel frowned, feeling confused.
“That’s right.” Akna nodded: “It sounds very unbelievable, but this is the truth.”
“The Dorrack Mainland Commerce Association is a giant organisation that covers the entire Mainland, and this organisation existed before the Karol Empire appeared.”
“That is why, within each kingdom or territory, there is an autonomous region that belongs to the Dorrack Mainland Trade Association.”
“Is the Queen okay with this?” Lathel asked: “An autonomous region in the middle of the Karol capital is extremely dangerous.”
Akna sighed and said: “In fact, this business association is even more terrible than you think, Young Master.”
“Even though they are a commercial association, their power is more terrifying than the Lumier Church.”
Hearing that, Lathel felt a bit surprised, but thinking carefully… This was quite true.
If you have too much money, you can even buy the whole world. If there is something you cannot buy, it is because you do not have enough money to buy it.
People often say… money can’t buy happiness, but if you have a lot of money, that’s a completely different thing.
“So…” Lathel frowned and asked: “Has this area caused any harm to the Empire?”
“Not for the time being.” Akna shook her head and said: “But what happens in this area is only the trading of slaves, prostitutes, and a few auctions.”
“Of course, not everyone can enter these areas. Only high-ranking nobles or the Royal Family can enter this place.”
Lathel nodded; he also felt like this organisation would be able to help Alec reach the outside world.
Why?
It’s because Alec is the male protagonist, and in novels, the mysterious and terrifying organisations created by the author are purely used to help the male protagonist become even stronger.
‘If I guess correctly, Alec will create rare drugs and send them to this organisation for auction.’
‘After a while, this organisation would feel that Alec is a genius and invest in him.’
‘Next… Alec, thanks to the help of this giant business association, will also easily get more resources to cultivate and face-slap people.’
Although Alec had not yet fully come into contact with the Dorrack Mainland Commercial Association, Lathel had drawn up an extremely perfect scenario for him.
“Young master, let’s go inside.” Akna smiled and said: “Don’t worry, I still have this card. If you need it, we can use it..”
Seeing Akna smiling while holding the black card in her hand, Lathel nodded, feeling much more secure.
However, he also had a lot of gold coins, and he did not think that Rolen’s value would be so high that it would surpass the record for the value of slaves sold at auction.
If Rolen’s value is really too high, he can borrow the powerful black card that Akna carries.
No matter what, he couldn’t let Rolen fall into someone else’s hands. Lathel realizes that perhaps she was captured and put up for auction because of the influence of the ‘comet card’.
…
Inside the waiting area reserved for employees, Alec sat on a chair and leisurely enjoyed tea.
At this time, an extremely beautiful girl wearing high heels walked up to Alec, she smiled seductively and said: “Mr. Alec, my name is Miconia, and I’m the manager of this commercial area.” 𝓁𝘪𝒷𝘳ℯ𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝑚
When Alec saw this girl, his eyes shone like two headlights.
The girl had shoulder-length platinum hair, and she wore a body-hugging dress that revealed her seductive curves. Her long legs, which were clad in a pair of high heels, enhanced her already attractive legs.
Her eyes were teary, and they had a bit of slothfulness and inactivity to them. However, when he looked into those eyes, Alec felt his heart beat stronger and faster.
She was like a devil’s work of art used to seduce and deceive men. But even knowing that she was created by the devil, men will still want to indulge in that charm.
“This is…This is our first time meeting, my name is Alec.” Alec stammered, but then he quickly tried to regain his composure and said: “Miconia, you’re so beautiful.” 𝙡𝙞𝙗𝒓𝙚𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝓶
“Hahaha…” Miconia’s laughter was like the sound of a silver bell, making Alec’s soul tremble: “Thank you for your compliment.”
“Normally, I won’t receive guests, but you are a special case.”
Hearing that, Alec raised his face slightly, as the confidence he felt was given a boost: ‘Huh! Of course, I’m the male lead, my aura is definitely enough to seduce you guys, hahaha…’
‘Is she the manager of this commercial area? Very good… I’ll just make her my woman, and then, in the future, I don’t need to worry about money and resources for cultivating anymore.’
‘Miconia, you will be my woman.’
Alec, in his mind, immediately put Miconia on the list of people that he must definitely own. Of course, he has enough confidence to be able to do that.
Seeing Alec’s greedy and lust-filled eyes, Miconia just smiled, and pretended to ignore it: “Sorry, Mr. Alec…”
“Just call me Alec. Wait! Do you know me?” Alec smiled and asked.
“Of course…” Miconia took out a newspaper and placed it on the table: “Everyone in this Empire knows that you are a generous person, of course I also have to know you.”
“Pfff!” Alec spat out a mouthful of tea when he saw the article: “What the hell is that?”
He picked up the newspaper and read the article carefully. As he read it, he was so angry that his face turned red and countless blood threads appeared in his eyes: “Damn it!”
However, he glanced at Miconia, who was standing in front of him, took a deep breath, and tried to explain: “Miss Miconia, don’t misunderstand. There are some people who are jealous of my talent, so they deliberately tarnish my image in everyone’s eyes.”
“Oh! Really…” Miconia smiled, and looked towards Alec as if she could see what he was thinking.
“Ack! Of course, I… I am definitely not that kind of stupid person.”
“Hahahaha… Don’t worry, it’s your personal problem, and I don’t care either! Alec…” Miconia smiled and said: “Let’s get to the point. The girl you are auctioning is quite special, and her value will definitely be very high.”
“According to expert appraisal, her starting price could be 1,000,000 gold coins. Each price increase will be 50,000 gold coins.”
“It is estimated that… the value she will bring will be at least 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 gold coins.”
“However… I would like to confirm that you want to bid on her.”
“Of course!” Alec said firmly: “I just want to ask… when can I receive the money?”
Miconia smiled and explained: “As soon as someone buys her, I will pay you. You can wait here if you need money urgently; besides… I need to collect some auction fees; this is the law.”
“Hahaha… Of course I understand that.” Alec said, smiling and acting as if he didn’t care.
“The fee will be 20% of the item’s value.” Miconia explained: “However, this is the first time you have come to this place to submit an item for auction.”
“Ah, no I mean you sent a girl so I could auction.” Miconia spoke playfully: “That girl is of very high quality, so I will lower the fee to only 15%; are you satisfied?”
Hearing that, Alec was extremely happy: “Of course, I am extremely satisfied. Hahaha… Miss Miconia, this time I only brought one girl. Next time, I will bring some medicine so you can help me bid.”
“Ah! Are you a pharmacistenchanter?” Miconia asked with surprise.
“That’s right, don’t look at my appearance and think that I’m just a low-level pharmacist enchanter.” Alec said arrogantly: “Currently, I can prepare 2-star medicines easily.”
“If I have enough medicinal herbs and energy, I can even prepare 3-star medicines. However, the success rate is not high.”
Miconia looked at Alec’s arrogant yet humble expression and laughed: “So… next time, I hope you can bring me something interesting.”
