Wolf King

Chapter 145 Irreplaceable

Philip's face turned black... No matter how euphemistic Xiao Yun's words were, he could not conceal his contempt for Marcus. His son was slapped in the face in front of him. How could Philip, who was not very good-tempered, bear this kind of thing? Angrily, she immediately lowered her face and said stiffly, "Mr. Ayun, what do you want to say?"

"Hehe..." A natural smile slowly floated on Xiao Yun's face. Nima licked the elves because they were too close to be offended, and the elves were so awesome. As an adult, you must have the qualities of an adult. You must know how to be a man with your tail tucked in front of the great boss; you, a nobleman in an insignificant place across the inland sea, we still lick, our tongue is not so cheap.

Seeing Xiao Yun's "normal" smile, Xiao En's heart suddenly rang alarm bells, and he tried to interrupt, but it was too late.

"Mr. Philip, I personally admire your courage to gamble the future of your family on your only son. Maybe you expect your son to learn how to return from the wrong path under heavy pressure and know how to take responsibility for the family? This kind of affection between father and son is really touching. "Xiao Yun smiled kindly and spoke very fast, "But unfortunately, this kind of admiration is limited to me personally, and it does not mean that our Snow Wolf Clan has to accompany Philip's family to take such meaningless risks. After all, even if it is Small businessmen will also look for capable partners when doing business, and qualified businessmen will choose their agents carefully, what does Mr. Philip think?"

The graceful Marcus looked shocked.

Philip turned his nose straight and slapped the table heavily: "Irreverent! You, you are presumptuous!"

Xiao Yun put on a serious face: "Mr. Philip, I think it's best to ask yourself what you have done and whether you are qualified before criticizing others and raising doubts. Your son should be an adult male of the human race. His hands are bigger than I have ever seen. The females of all ethnic groups must be delicate and fair, and they still have nails that delay work, which shows that he is not responsible for any practical matters at all, and he might not even take a quill. Let our Snow Wolf clan rest assured that the hundreds of thousands of miles transported across the inland sea Tons of goods are handed over to such a human male who raises like a canary bird, if it were you, would you accept it?"

Markas was furious and stood up abruptly, and was about to call the housekeeper to drive this rude guest out, when Xiao Yun slammed down the next sentence.

"Mr. Xiao En guarantees the payment for this batch of goods with his reputation as a legendary magician. Of course, our Snow Wolf clan trusts Mr. Xiao En. We can accept only half of the deposit, and we will collect the final payment after you sell the goods. .”

Xiao Yun said sternly: "Castile Master Philip is too busy with government affairs to manage the family's finances, so we can't pay 1 gold coins at a time. We, the Snow Wolf Clan, can understand that. After all, Castellan Philip is very 'diligent'. Then I would like to ask Mr. Philip, why did you Roughly speaking, at least thousands of gold coins will be needed to buy the son’s outfit? It is said that I know that the Philip family is not involved in the high-end jewelry and clothing business, and Marcus’s dress is not for the promotion of the family business. So what is Mr. Philip? Do you spoil your son to the point where he doesn’t care about the family’s financial situation, or your son can use your name to collect money and sell your father’s authority at a low price? Regardless of the former or the latter, Mr. Philip thinks which is possible Can we, the Snow Wolf Clan, trust your son and the sincerity of the Philip family a little bit more?"

The voice of Marcas calling the butler was stuck in his throat, and Sean turned his eyes to him with a look of astonishment.

Philip's face was flushed and turned green, and smoke was almost coming out of his head.

Xiao Yun could see the value of Marcas's attire because the tribe kept Balk's flamboyant green dragon, and if Xiao En looked carefully, he didn't lack appreciation. The legendary spellcaster frowned immediately Get up: "Forest Elf Jasper? Sea Clan Water Pattern Bead? Philip, Marcus is wearing an entire manor on his body. Is he usually like this?"

Marcus blushed with embarrassment, and immediately walked away.

Philip's eyelids drooped and he said nothing.

Seeing his old friend's attitude, Xiao En was immediately disappointed... Looking at Xiao Yun's expression, sure enough, he was looking over with a sneer.

"It seems that Mr. Philip knows what his son has done behind his back. This kind of deep fatherly love is really admirable." Xiao Yun said with a sneer, "If Mr. Philip can at least pretend to stop his son A few words of reprimand, then I think we still have something to talk about. Now...Mr. Xiao En, what do you think?"

Xiao En cursed inwardly, but he still couldn't say that Xiao Yun was wrong—it was true that he hadn't done his preparations well, at least got to know Markus before he mentioned anything else, now that Xiao Yun pushed the problem to him, what is he really? There is no way to say anything.

Philip was exposed so unceremoniously, and his face turned red and white immediately. He was extremely ashamed, and forced himself to say: "This is Valentine, a foreigner! Without my permission, who do you want to trade with here? A large amount of goods?!"

Sean sighed, well, he doesn't need to make peace now.

"Hehe." Xiao Yun showed an unpleasant smile again, and patted his thigh, "Let me think about it on my knees——Castella Philip is so bold as to make himself very clear that his son, who is an idiot, only costs [-] yuan to take over. A business with a thousand gold coins and a profit of [-] yuan must be very confident that the idiot son will not dump this batch of goods that can be sold by a pig because of stupid mistakes. It is very confident to find the 'next home' quickly."

"Then in Valentine City, how many super buyers are there who can get at least [-] gold coins at one time? My left knee tells me that I will not be the second choice except for the Lamia Chamber of Commerce." Xiao Yun Not without irony, "Mr. Xiao En is eager to consider the long-term for the Philip family, but the Lord of the City only intends to use Mr. Xiao En's enthusiasm to make a fortune, just to encourage his son to cheer up?"

"Philip?!" Sean was startled, and looked at his old friend in shock.

Philip's face was extremely ugly, and he didn't know if it was because his son was said to be an idiot and he couldn't refute it, or because Xiao Yun guessed his intentions.

Xiao Yun looked at Sean sympathetically. This sentimental old man was very considerate of the old man. He did not hesitate to use his reputation as a guarantee so that the Philip family could get rid of the boss who was about to take over before he abdicated safely. Pack up the hearts of the people in the Bolton Territory—the shipment of the Snow Wolf Clan will directly renew the life of the Bolton Territory, which has not benefited from Valentine's Port; If the wolf clan maintains trade, at most five to ten years, the Bolton territory can become the impregnable stronghold of Philip's family.

On this point, Xiao En was very attentive. He even bowed his head to ask Xiao Yun for advice on how to manage the territory, and sold himself to Xiao Yun for this...even signed the "Law of Language" contract.

However, Xiao En is so wholeheartedly making long-term plans for his old friend, but the other party only intends to take a shortcut... I really shed tears for this handsome old man.

"Philip, you...I..." Sean looked at his old friend with great sadness, his voice was a little trembling, "I didn't tell you clearly, or these years, between us...we can no longer trust each other like we did before gone?"

Philip could ignore Xiao Yun's contempt, but he couldn't bear Xiao Yun's words. The old man's stubborn shoulders collapsed in an instant, and he said tremblingly, "No... Xiao Yun, I, I only have such a son— —if Marcus can't pull himself together, what will happen to Philip's family after I die?"

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes, self-interested thinking is much higher than benefiting the public (it is his own basic public), and it is a common problem for feudal power holders to regard family as more important than national group.Although the bureaucrats in ancient China also had this kind of rotten virtue, at least they knew how to save face, and in private no matter how male thieves and female prostitutes seem to be dedicated to the public, they have to erect archways to cover their ugliness; this world is different, there is no need to erect archways, we just show our butts What the hell is going on outside!

But don't say that this is a real villain, better than a hypocrite. People who have been beaten by society will know that a hypocrite who wants to show some face is much easier to deal with than a shameless real villain.

Of course...Xiao Yun has no interest in making ridicule, and Philip is not the only one in this situation—even on Earth, social order and good customs default to the national interests before the interests of the small family. As a leader, he candidly stated, "I will have no self." "It's just the Chinese family.

Sean stared blankly at his old friend who didn't dare to meet his eyes, and he realized...Philip is indeed old, and his friend has lost to time.

This discovery made Sean extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't say anything for a while.

Xiao Yun counted silently in his heart calmly. In a short period of time, people's guilt can make people reflect on it. After a long time, the guilt will be transferred and turned into aggressiveness towards others, so as to relieve the inner pressure; There was annoyance at Sean's ignorance of his age, and annoyance at Philip treating other people as fools, but in the final analysis-the business still had to be done!Otherwise, he can still sell the goods to the Lamia Chamber of Commerce!

Although it's not impossible... Opposing positions don't delay doing business!In the world of adults, tell me what is right or wrong!For the sake of money, Xiao Yun can bow his head, and the Lamia Chamber of Commerce can also bow.

The point is, before Carlisle beat Lamia solidly, Xiao Yun, as a teacher, is inconvenient to be an enemy...

Besides, Xiao Enken's "selling himself" in the final analysis is to exchange the rest of his lifespan for the opportunity of another wave for his old friend. No matter how much Xiao Yun looks down on Philip, he can't kick this old man who treats others as an idiot, otherwise Sean is disheartened and has no enthusiasm for magic technology!

The given time for self-reflection was almost over, so Xiao Yun said, "I think there are some principles that are common to both the grassland and the human kingdom. If someone obtains a status that cannot be replaced by others through his own hard work, then This person must be very reliable and worthy of the trust of those around him, because he will work harder than everyone else to maintain this status."

"Conversely, if a person can obtain this important position of 'irreplaceable' without doing anything, then no matter how talented and talented he is, he will definitely become a waste." Xiao Yun said unceremoniously, "Because the instinct of all intelligent creatures is a virtue: to be lazy and not to work. You can be valued without hard work, so why do you need to be serious?"

Philip was unmoved, and he himself was not unaware of the fact that his son was raised and disabled.

Sean sighed again.

Xiao Yun put his hands and elbows on his legs and knees, leaned his upper body forward, and said with piercing eyes: "Mr. Philip, you do have only one son, but you are not the only blood relative of Marcus, don't you have a clever son?" Your granddaughter Laura? If your granddaughter Laura can become the youngest and most talented Countess in Bolton Territory, then your son Marcus can continue to be 'unreplaceable'."

Xiao En looked at Xiao Yun in astonishment, and Philip raised his eyelids with a look of astonishment.

Under the rules of the "Game of Thrones" in this world, with connections, resources, and background, even a pig can sit firmly in the position of noble lord... The premise is that the pig will not be released to run around and do bad things; Underage girl lord or something is definitely easier than supporting a middle-aged man who is worthless than a pig—well, needless to say, it is too much hatred, and it is enough to stop scolding his son in front of his father.

Xiao Yun didn't say anything clearly here, and it wasn't difficult for Sean and Philip to understand... The old friends looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes—yes, there was also Laura!Although Laura is only 13 years old, what does it matter!

After returning to the side hall, Marcus angrily smashed the furnishings in the hall.

A noble (middle-aged) young master like him who has been blessed by a powerful father since he was a child has never suffered at all, and it is rare to even make him unhappy; after all, he is Philip's only son, and Philip He is the lord of Valentin, who even King Cronin pays attention to. Every year, he works hard to save a large amount of taxes for the Kingdom of Cronin. I don’t know how many Cronin nobles rely on his father to make money.

This meeting with the aliens, of course, my father carefully told Marcus not to make the guest unhappy-this guest can bring at least [-] gold coins to Philip's family, and it is "illusory" "End" Sean's valued friend, for the sake of gold coins and Uncle Sean's face, Markas, who has always only waited for others to please him, has a rare and correct attitude, and he also hides his attitude towards such barbaric aliens well when they meet. contempt.

Marcus, who thought he was enough to save face, never expected that before he generously showed his "equality" and "closeness" to other races, he would mock and even humiliate him so rudely on the spot—— And during this period, his father didn't try his best to maintain his dignity, and Sean even followed the vulgar savage's words to question him, almost blowing up Marcus!

After smashing the last vase, Marcus, who was holding the cabinet for breath, couldn't help but feel heartbroken after being incompetent and furious-more than 2 gold coins slipped from his fingertips, and the chance to deepen friendship with Eddie is gone!

My father has always been at odds with the Lamia Chamber of Commerce, which is something that Markas is very defamed about.How powerful and rich the Lamia Chamber of Commerce is, Eddie, who is the deacon of the Valentin branch, can throw out hundreds of gold coins, jewelry and costumes at will, which is more generous than the only son of the city lord!

If the father, who is the lord of Valentine, is willing to join the Lamia Chamber of Commerce, then the wealth of Philip's family will definitely increase exponentially within a few years. Markas firmly believes that; the good business introduced by Uncle Sean is undoubtedly Marcus, who has always felt a head lower than Eddie, can stand on the same position as Eddie. Although it does not appear on the surface, Markas is actually quite happy about it.

But now there is obviously no such opportunity.

That vulgar barbarian didn't pay attention to the slightest aristocratic etiquette, and trampled his face face to face, and Uncle Sean's disappointed eyes made him feel like a thorn in his back—Marcus kicked the cabinet door in anger , Ayun from the snow wolf tribe!He memorized the name! !

"Father?" The girl who followed the butler from the big room next to her saw the side hall that had been smashed into ruins in the corridor, and ran in nervously.

"Lola, don't come here, be careful where you step." Markus rushed over to prevent the baby from stepping on the fragments of the vase, "I'm sorry, baby, Dad was in a bad mood just now and ruined the room you often stay in."

"It's okay, Dad. Are you okay?" the girl asked with concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine... Butler, take Laura back." Marcus didn't want to say more.

"Master, the master ordered the young lady to go to the living room." The butler bowed quickly.

Markus suddenly became furious: "What? Let Lola go to see that bastard and rude savage?!"

"Hmm... It was the guest who asked to greet the young miss." The butler said awkwardly, "Both Mr. Xiao En and the master agree very much."

Marcus petrified on the spot.

Marcus can be infinitely willful towards his father, because he knows that no matter what he has done, his father can forgive him.But he was an adult after all, and he knew that outsiders would not tolerate him unconditionally like his father... such as Uncle Sean, Marcus would not dare to question the decision of this legendary magician.

Forced to hold up a smile and wave his hands to watch the baby girl walking and turning back, Marcus felt the anger in his body simmering again, almost rushing to the top of his head...

After wandering irritably in the side hall for a long time, Marcus couldn't hold back after all, walked out of the side hall to the living room, and stopped in the corridor near the garden.

The windows on the east side of Philip's mansion are facing the garden, and a little to the right is the corridor. As soon as Marcus stops here, the voice in the living room can be faintly heard.

"...I have the opposite opinion. Mr. Sean, Miss Laura is still young, so it is not easy to be guarded against. If Miss Laura comes forward, the local nobles in Bolton Territory will have limited vigilance, and it is more likely that they will feel contemptuous ...Of course, this will inevitably attract covetousness, but wouldn't it be a good thing to let these guys who may affect the Philip family's rule of the Bolton territory jump out and deal with it in advance?"

This was the voice of that vulgar and savage man. When Marcus heard this voice, his heart burst into anger, and the content of the words made him even more angry.

"This is also an idea, Philip, what do you think? Although the Bolton Territory is not rich, there are still more than a dozen nobles. If you can control the Bolton Territory before you step down, then you can handle the handover more calmly." matter..."

Hearing Sean's words, Marcus was so shocked that he didn't even care about being angry—what do you mean? !Father is going to step down as the lord of Valentine? !

Markas couldn't listen to the next words at all, he just felt dizzy in front of his eyes and lost all strength...

Although he is a waste that clings to his father and sucks blood, at least he has been the Prince Valentine for so many years. He naturally stands taller than others. Still don't understand: he was dropped.

Even his father abandoned him.

Marcus always thought that he would take over his father's position sooner or later, after all, his father had only one son.This time his father tacitly allowed him to use the resources of foreigners to do business with the Lamia Chamber of Commerce, and let Markas confirm this-he did not feel that he had the ability of his father, but he was backed by the big tree of the Lamia Chamber of Commerce. If so, what is so difficult about being a city lord?

But just after he was denied by that foreign race, his father actually changed his mind!

Marcus leaned on the wall in despair, his heart was in a mess.

His father didn't think he could be the lord of Valentine, and even looked for a way out for the Philip family after retiring in advance.

The father would rather let the 13-year-old Laura come to the fore than continue to support his only son.

This kind of cognition made Markas's heart ache. He really couldn't accept this reality. Instinctively, he transferred his anger to the culprit who caused all this to happen—Ayun of the snow wolf clan!

Hatred can give people strength. Marcus, who was so weak just now, was full of strength in an instant. He stood up straight, his eyes were full of anger, and he looked at the living room window angrily. He wanted revenge and gave that bastard a savage People look good!

Xiao Yun was invited to stay overnight, of course, and more importantly, he was asked to make up lessons for Miss Philip's family overnight, and to teach this clever little girl how to use the supply of goods provided by the Snow Wolf Clan more efficiently and fully.

Xiao En personally sent him to the guest room, and stopped talking after Xiao Yun took off his coat.

"Mr. Xiao En, do you think my behavior today was too rude, and I severely offended your old friend, especially that young master Marcus?" Sean beckoned to sit down.

"...I admit that I didn't handle the matter well this time, because I took it for granted that Philip would understand my painstaking efforts, and that Marcus would be able to shoulder the responsibility of being a member of the family." Xiao En sat down in front of Xiao Yun with a wry smile "If you hadn't pointed it out, then my running around would have become a joke. It's just...Mr. Ayun, although Philip has always been at odds with the Lamia Chamber of Commerce, Marcus...doesn't necessarily have the same stand as his father. "

It's no secret that Sean is a native Kronen.And any insightful person from Cronin with enough vision will frown at the Lamia Chamber of Commerce, which has developed into a behemoth-for no other reason, the power of the Lamia Chamber of Commerce has surpassed the expectations of the federation countries. The multinational capital group tightly bound together with interests beyond ordinary people's imagination is too powerful.

Although the current Lamia Chamber of Commerce is still controlled by the regimes of the federation countries...but what about the future?

There are pros and cons to everything. If you can only see one side, you cannot be regarded as a qualified politician.

Xiao Yun smiled slightly. People like Xiao En who have a sufficiently high lower limit are worthy of being friends... Although he was also a little annoyed that Xiao Yun didn't show face to his old friend, he was more worried that Xiao Yun would cause trouble if he acted like this. He has no skills when it comes to business, but his destructive power is quite amazing when things go wrong.

"Mr. Sean, this business is just an ordinary transaction for our Snow Wolf Clan. We only charge [-]% of the shipping fee to sell the goods to Philip's family, and pick them up with the Elf Clan and St. Bridge In fact, there is no difference." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "In the final analysis, the biggest beneficiary of this business is the Philip family... If the young master of the Philip family sincerely wants to destroy his own business, then I think, compared to us, the Philip family You should be more worried."

"There is no father who knows a son, how can you say that Marcus is also his son?" Xiao Yun said with deep meaning.

Xiao En shook his head with a wry smile... He has seen too much from A Yun, and now the other party's rationality and calm beyond his age are not enough to shock him.

After sending Xiao En away, Xiao Yun closed the door of the guest room, and the expression on his face became indifferent.

Sean is a person with a very low limit, Xiao Yun respects such a person, just like he would respect Evelyn's attitude and feelings even though he accepted Evelyn as his disciple.

For such a person with a high lower limit, some things must never be said, and some things must be done in a sufficiently concealed manner...

The moment Xiao Yun saw Marcus, he judged that this kind of person was worthless in training.The reason is very simple. Only those who are pursuing have the possibility of guiding righteousness with righteousness, guiding righteousness with righteousness, and finally obtaining righteousness. It is enough for a businessman to talk about profit, but Xiao Yun's current identity is not a pure businessman. He has a clear political purpose. The appeal, the interest he talked about must have the derivative of righteousness.

A guy who grew up arrogantly and lustfully with a golden spoon in his mouth, and who is as carefree as a little princess and little prince at an old age, what a fart of righteousness!

Before discussing cooperation with the Haizu and obtaining worker resources from Cronin, Xiao Yun had the idea of ​​two blossoms of St. Bridge and Cronin, and picked up the two "grandpas" Xiao En and Puli Pian in Bai Later, Xiao Yun made up his mind to "put an eye" on the Snow Wolf Clan in the Kingdom of Cronin; but it is definitely not safe to send the clansmen so far away, so the only choice Xiao Yun can make is to support "agents" people".

This logic is perfectly fine and reasonable.

"If Marcus makes trouble, Philip will definitely try his best to save him... If you both pay for it... Ha ha." Xiao Yun murmured silently, with a kind smile on his face.

There is no psychological burden for cheating nobles at all!
