Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 354 - 222: Cooperation with the Assad Family, Entering the Slave Trade_2

Looking at the detailed contents brought by his subordinate.

A blond-haired man’s heart still found it difficult to calm, even though more than half a month had passed.

Yet this news was still too shocking for him.

"Unbelievably, a breakthrough actually happened!"

Murmuring to himself, the blond-haired man couldn’t help but recall the last time a descendant of the Dressrosa Family purchased the Purple Gold Grass.

It was evident that, without surprise, Count Engle likely used that piece of Purple Gold Grass to break through.

Originally something he considered almost impossible, this moment seemed to have become reality.

This made his heart recently difficult to calm down.

The Sky Knight, pursued by their family for two hundred years, since the fall of that ancestral Sky Knight, the Assad Family hadn’t birthed a Sky Knight in two hundred years.

The Assad Family also fell from a powerful Marquis Family to a Count’s Clan.

Yet at this moment, the Dressrosa Family completed the leap.

This made his mood extraordinarily complex, not even knowing how to describe it.

And amidst his complexity.

The door was gently knocked on.

"Knock knock!"

"Come in!"

The blond-haired man took a deep breath to gradually calm his emotions before he softly spoke.

"Creak!"

The door opened, and a figure walked in.

"Sir, young master Rajos requests an audience."

The figure spoke respectfully.

"Rajos, why is he back?"

Speaking with curiosity, the blond-haired man was somewhat surprised.

He originally didn’t pay much attention to this son of his, just a bastard. If it had been a few hundred years ago, there would have been no need to acknowledge him. Now though, he cared a bit more, but only gave him some gold coins and a nearly useless shop in Loren City.

Yet unexpectedly, in just a few years, this son of his underwent a dramatic transformation.

First, he got involved with a descendant of Dressrosa, and soon that Dressrosa descendant rapidly developed, giving Rajos significant space to perform.

Because of this, he paid more attention, granting Rajos more opportunities.

And the result undoubtedly proved that this son of his was indeed remarkable.

Profits rapidly increased in a short time, assisting the Dressrosa descendant in forming the Eagle Merchant Association with great success, which drew his attention.

But it was just some attention, for him, just a son, a casual investment, worthwhile if it yielded results, not a major loss if it did not.

However, no one expected the surprise to come so suddenly.

The Dressrosa Family suddenly surged.

This casual investment seemed to become the most correct investment.

Because if he remembered correctly, that Dressrosa descendant seemed to be the son of Count Engle, and highly valued.

This time, he even directly defeated the alliance of twenty-seven powerful noble descendants.

Those were twenty-seven powerful noble descendants’ alliances, even facing them, the Assad Family could feel intimidated.

Yet they were defeated by Thor Dressrosa.

To say this was Thor Dressrosa’s power, he wouldn’t believe it, the only explanation was that Count Engle provided substantial strength.

Being so valued, Thor’s future achievements could be completely anticipated.

Rajos following Thor would undoubtedly achieve not small accomplishments.

"Let him in!"

Thoughts swirling, only a moment passed before the blond-haired man seemed to ponder briefly, then immediately spoke.

"Yes!"

The figure nodded and then withdrew.

A moment later, Rajos was brought into the room.

"Father!"

Looking at the blond-haired man, Rajos quickly greeted him.

"Rajos, how come you have time to visit me?"

The blond-haired man spoke with a smile.

"Father!"

Rajos felt a bit dazed, but quickly spoke, though for a moment he didn’t know what to say, as in his memory his father never seemed this cordial.

"Alright, I was just casually speaking. Is there something you need for returning this time?"

Seeing Rajos’ somewhat stiff expression, the blond-haired middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, then proactively redirected the topic.

"Father, it is this: Lord wants to collaborate with our Assad Family and wishes to see if father has any inclination."

Rajos nodded, took a deep breath, then immediately explained his purpose for returning.

"Collaboration?"

Blond-haired man’s eyebrows lifted, his expression somewhat surprised.

"Yes, father, you should know the expansion in the Northern Territory, right? As a result, Marquis Reman’s agreement with the Kingdom was dissolved, and other powers in the Kingdom can now enter the Northern Province. Lord’s intention is to cooperate with Assad Commerce Association to quickly capture more of the market..."

Rajos nodded, then explained some of Thor’s arrangements.

Blond-haired man was taken aback at first, then showed a trace of interest.

Ultimately, his thoughts were completely drawn in by Rajos’ words.

Until Rajos fully finished speaking, the blond-haired man’s thoughts were still immersed in them.

Rajos did not interrupt but quietly waited.

He believed his father would agree.

After all, this kind of temptation, he believed no one would be willing to refuse.

"Thor Dressrosa’s intention is for us, the Assad Family, to provide slaves and corresponding resources. The Eagle Merchant Association’s resources will be procured as much as possible through the Assad Commerce Association, and we can establish corresponding shops in Eagle City?"

After pondering for a moment, the blond-haired man slowly spoke.

"Yes, father, at present it is only Eagle City, but as other cities are soon established, the Assad Family can similarly proceed."

Rajos nodded, speaking earnestly.

"Indeed, it’s quite attractive."

"But Rajos, you should know that even if I don’t cooperate with you, I can still expand Assad Family into the Northern Province, so why should I cooperate with you?"

The blond-haired man nodded, his tone carried a subtle intrigue.

"Father, to be honest, now most resources in the Northern Province are already controlled by our Eagle Merchant Association. We’ve even established a complete trade route, father, even if intervening in it, it might be difficult to achieve significant results."

Rajos shook his head, speaking softly.

"Looks like you’ve really grown up."

"Regarding collaboration, it’s possible!"

"But terms need to be adjusted, if Thor Dressrosa agrees, then there’s no issue!"

The blond-haired man revealed a smile, nodding with satisfaction, then his expression took on a solemn tone.

"Father, please speak directly!"

Rajos also showed a more serious demeanor, similarly nodding earnestly.

"The shops, I don’t need, the Assad Family can also specialize in providing resources for your Eagle Merchant Association, but the slave trade needs to be separated, our Assad Family needs at least a thirty-five percent share."

"You can go back and negotiate with Thor Dressrosa Family, and respond to me then."

"Of course, if you’re worried about delaying time, I can have Dery take the first batch of slaves to accompany you, if agreed to, connect at any time, if not, then withdraw."

The blond-haired man looked at his son and slowly spoke.
