Trade Alliance.
"Why are you so impulsive!"
Sidney was so agitated that he danced with joy. He roared at Baron Birbom, "Do you know how much we've lost because of your recklessness? The entire Alliance will lose at least a million gold coins just by stopping work for a week! "
Baron Birbom clenched his fists in annoyance, "I didn't expect him to dig me out …"
If it wasn't for Tang En digging him out, Birbom wouldn't have even told Sidney and the others about this.
"Didn't expect?! Didn't you think about the consequences of failure before you made the plan?! Didn't you make a replacement plan?! "
Sidney and the others were in disbelief. Was this plan full of loopholes really made by the elites of the Trade Alliance?
"No! No, no! "
Birbom said in annoyance, "I was too busy dealing with Tang En's bicycle to think about a replacement plan!"
"You — You copied the Datang Chamber of Commerce's mint candy, and now you —"
Sidney took a deep breath and held his chest to control his emotions. He roared, "Now you have to pay the price for your recklessness. Because of you, the entire Trade Alliance is in trouble. Unless we immediately turn against the royal family, we can only accept our fate!"
"Then we might as well go all the way and rebel!"
"Are you crazy?!"
Another person beside him was shocked, "The Cadier family and the Spade family haven't made a move yet, and we're the first to do it? Are we looking for death? "
"Then what do you mean?!"
Baron Birbom's expression became extremely ugly. After looking around, he suddenly realized, "You want me to bow down to that Tang En?!"
The group of people remained silent.
"President Sidney, even you mean this?!"
Birbom looked at President Sidney in disbelief. He knew that President Sidney hated Tang En the most.
"Baron Birbom, do you think I want to? But now, this is the only choice. Not only you, even I have to go! "
President Sidney's expression didn't look any better. As the president of the Trade Alliance, he had to bear the responsibility. When Birbom went to apologize to Tang En, he had to follow.
Now, Sidney was even a little resentful of Birbohm. "If your men had been more direct and had directly assassinated Danterian when they approached her, the situation might have been better!"
"President Sidney, what are you talking about?"
Birbom was taken aback. "Count Malar isn't one of my men."
"Not one of your men?!"
Sidney and the others were also stunned. "Whose people are they?"
"Although I'm rich, Count Mara is a count, and his family background isn't bad either. How could I be qualified to bribe him?"
Sidney frowned. After rubbing his chin in thought for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about that. The most important thing now is to reach a settlement with Tang En as soon as possible. We can't drag down the operations of the Trade Alliance because of this matter. With such a huge organization, every minute and second of suspension will mean an unimaginable loss of wealth!"
Speaking of reaching a settlement with Tang En, Sidney's entire face twisted. Back then, Tang En had given him a ruthless slap in the face in front of everyone. Later on, the Trade Alliance had taken the initiative to block the Datang Chamber of Commerce. Both sides were in a situation where only one side would rest. Now, he actually had to beg Tang En for a settlement …
They were clearly enemies, but they had no choice but to kneel and beg for a settlement. How many people wouldn't feel conflicted in this situation?
What troubled Sidney the most was that they had no choice but to make a settlement. Because if they didn't take the initiative to ask for a settlement, it would be a signal of 'war' with the other party. It was very likely that they would really fall out with each other next.
When the Cadier Family and the Spade Family didn't respond, a group of merchants like them rushed out to rebel. If that wasn't courting death, what else could it be?
Therefore, Sidney had to ask for a settlement. Not only did he have to ask for a settlement, he had to do it beautifully so that outsiders wouldn't be able to see the problem.
Then, the problem was, based on the way Tang En had spoken, what should they do to win Tang En's forgiveness?
Don't forget how strong Tang En was during the last meeting of the Trade Alliance. If they couldn't give a satisfactory answer this time, it would be very difficult for them to obtain a settlement.
"Baron Birbom, I think you need to seriously think about how to gain Tang En's forgiveness."
This was a matter of great importance. Sidney couldn't care less about protecting his lackeys and directly said, "If we can't obtain a settlement, I'm afraid we can only sacrifice you to protect the overall situation."
The time wasn't right yet. The Trade Alliance had to stabilize and not give the royal family any chance to make things difficult for them. Otherwise, it would lead to irreparable consequences.
"But we don't know what kind of person Tang En is!"
Baron Birbom gritted his teeth and growled, "We only know that he's the president of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, the lord of Ellington, and a hidden rogue mage. But we don't know anything about his personal hobbies. How can we get a settlement from him!?"
The group fell silent. Yes, just as Birbom said, they didn't know anything about Tang En's hobbies. How could they talk about a settlement? Just go straight to him? It would be strange if they didn't get beaten up!
Ryan frowned. After thinking for a moment, he said, "He's a rogue mage. Perhaps it would be better to prepare some rare magic notes or magic materials?"
With the Trade Alliance's strength, it wasn't impossible for them to come up with these things, but …
Sidney shook his head and said, "You've all seen Tang En's strength. Do you think he'll be interested in the notes and magic materials we can take out?"
The group fell silent again.
Neander probed, "Then we promise to cooperate with him and give up some of our market profits?"
Sidney was so angry that he almost laughed. "Do you think he'll be interested in our market? Apart from Baron Birbom's carriage company, which of us can do the business he does? We'll be taking advantage of him if we cooperate with him! Do you think it's that simple? "
Birbom secretly clenched his fists, opened his mouth, and said dejectedly, "President, you're boosting his morale and destroying our own."
"You're not qualified to speak!"
Sidney jumped up and pointed at Birbom as he roared, "If you didn't act on your own, would this be the situation now?!"
"President, don't be angry. Think about it carefully. We're not completely ignorant of Tang En."
Ryan had a flash of inspiration and showed a strange smile. "We've actually seen Tang En's hobby, haven't we?"
"His hobby?"
Sidney frowned and thought hard for a moment before shaking his head. "I didn't think so."
"President, don't forget that Tang En, no matter where he goes, he always brings a few beauties with him."
Ryan reminded Sidney, "In other words, although Tang En is a rogue mage, he's just like the most ordinary men. He's very lecherous."
"Lecherous? … That's right! "
Sidney finally smiled. He wasn't afraid of having high expectations, but he was afraid of having no weaknesses. But the next moment, his smile froze on his face. "Wait, so what if we know that he's lecherous? Can you find a more beautiful woman than the Elves to satisfy him? "
Ryan was also dumbfounded. He had forgotten that Tang En had a close relationship with the Elves. This guy might have an Elven lover. In this case, how could an ordinary beauty satisfy him?
"If that's the case …"
Neander clapped his hands and suddenly said, "I've noticed something. Didn't you notice that Tang En is always accompanied by a little girl? It's the little girl called Elijah in the information. According to the spies, there's a rumor about Lord Tang En in Ellington. He's actually … "
"What? So he's … "
"I didn't expect him to like that kind of style …"
Sidney rubbed his chin thoughtfully. After a moment, he clapped his hands and said, "If that's the case, then it's easy to handle!"
"Oh? President, you have a way? "
"That's right."
Although there was a way, President Sidney looked reluctant because he didn't really want to use that method. It made his heart ache a little.
"Birbom, I'll give you an hourglass to prepare a gift. It's best if it's magic materials and magic handwritten notes. Then, come with me to see Tang En."
Birbom had a reluctant look on his face. "I understand …"
After Sidney left the Trade Union, he quickly returned home and found his butler.
"How's that guy now?"
The butler lowered his head and respectfully said, "He's still the same as before. He's on a hunger strike and refuses to give in. No one can get close to him."
Sidney suddenly felt irritated. It had to be known that this kind of treasure was very difficult to obtain. It was expensive, and it could cause a lot of trouble if he wasn't careful. Therefore, Sidney was very excited when he first got this treasure and was very careful.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't train it, he wouldn't be willing to give it to Tang En as an apology.
"Take me to see it."
The butler brought Sidney to a secret room. Inside the secret room was a covered cage. Sidney leaned over and lifted the blanket to take a look. In the dark cage, a small figure was curled up in the corner. In the darkness, the bright eyes were full of fatigue and vigilance.
"It's fine as long as he's not dead. Prepare the carriage and move the cage up."
The butler was stunned when he heard the order. Did this mean that he was going to move the cage? But Sidney had always treasured it and didn't let anyone get close to it. Why did he suddenly change his mind?
But this was the Patriarch's opinion after all. As a butler, he could only follow.
Feeling the vibration of the cage, the figure in the darkness hesitated for a moment before taking out something and swallowing it.
In the evening, a carriage dragged the cage and stopped in front of 77 Queen's Street.
"President Sidney … and Baron Birbom?"
Tang En, who had planned to return to Ellington, smiled playfully after hearing the name.
"Let them in."
