Chapter 61: leave
? After receiving the iron ore mining commission document authorized by the Joyce family, Brod was a little dizzy with happiness. It felt like a dream, which was not real at all. It was hard for him to believe that his family had actually won the iron mine. Mining the biggest "cake".
??Even the envious gazes of the other patriarchs looked at him, but he didn't notice. He was really stunned by this unexpected surprise.
?? "The second commission, Yakabi Ranch Livestock Farm, which family is willing to contract..."
?? "The third commission, Lake Narb, which family is willing to contract..."
??After the iron ore commission, the competition for the remaining eight commissions began.
Although the remaining eight commissions are not as profitable as iron ore mining, there are quite a few of them, which are very profitable, such as the second Yakabi Ranch, the third Narbu Lake, and one supplying Aser City The source of 60% beef and mutton each year, and the source of fish that supply 90% of Aser City each year, are extremely profitable industries.
Maybe Sean defeated the combination of the burly old man and the skinny old man, making the two families of Ansius and Fielding lose their former majesty. Maybe it was because the burly old man and the skinny old man were both injured, and felt that the opportunity came. Yes, in the entrusted competition that followed, many families came forward to compete with the Antheus and Fielding families.
But the ending was very tragic. Although the burly old man and the skinny old man lost to Xiao En, their strength is nothing to say. Facing apprentice knights of the same level, and even some people who are not even apprentice knights, naturally they don't have to be too easy , and because they suffered from Xiao En's loss and were suffocated, the burly old man and the skinny old man didn't care about their proportions, and directly sent people from several competing families to be seriously injured.
??In the end, the Ansius family and the Fielding family won the ranch contracting rights and the lake fishing rights respectively.
However, even after winning these two extremely lucrative authorizations, Patriarch Antheus and Patriarch Fielding were still unhappy. After all, the most profitable iron ore mining was taken away by a previously unknown family. It was definitely something they hadn't thought of before going to the dinner party.
??As the remaining eight commissions have their own ownership, the dinner is considered to be over, at least for the nine major families.
However, the impact of the dinner was far from over. On the second day, the Campbell family defeated the Ansius family and the Fielding family, won the most profitable iron ore mining rights, and became the biggest profiteer at the Spring Festival dinner. , then spread throughout the city of Aser.
For a while, the Campbell family attracted the attention of everyone in the city. In the next few days, there were almost no interruptions in congratulations or familiar visitors. Fortunately, there is no threshold in this world, otherwise , the threshold of the Campbell family must be stepped down.
?? Regarding this situation, Sean had already expected it when he took the shot to win the iron ore mining rights, but he didn't care.
??With his current strength, in the entire city of Asai, except for the official knight who sits in charge of the city lord's mansion, who can still threaten him, no one else poses a threat to him at all.
??Even if he was an official knight, he was confident that even if he couldn't beat him, he would still have no problem escaping. After all, the speed talent was there.
??In this case, why not strive for greater interests?
?? Low profile? Forbearance? Afraid of revenge from the Ansius family and the Fielding family?
??If Antheus and the Fielding family have the strength to retaliate, they will not allow the iron ore mining rights to be taken away by Sean.
?? As for his revenge on the Campbell family after he returned to the academy, he thought that the other party would not be so unwise.
??Before they are sure to deal with him, the other party will never dare to attack the Campbell family. After all, he is only going to school, and it is not that he will not come back, unless the other party wants to bear his revenge.
?? "I'm sorry, Cousin Sean, what happened last time was my fault!"
??Cole, who was a little pale, bowed his head and apologized to Sean.
??During the dinner on the day Sean returned, Cole used to satirize Sean openly and secretly, embarrassing Sean a lot.
Originally, this could only be regarded as a trivial matter, and it passed away, but he didn't want to turn around. Sean rose strongly, first defeated the apprentice knight Wilco, punctured the plot of the Adams family to destroy the Campbell family, and finally defeated Antheus The veteran trainee knight who has been famous for decades with the Fielding family has won the biggest cake of mining for the Campbell family.
Under such circumstances, the previous trivial matter cannot be regarded as a trivial matter. Without a doubt, if it was because of that incident that made Sean feel bad for Cole's lineage, with Sean's current reputation in the Campbell's family, it would definitely be a big deal. There is no doubt that the consequences will be extremely serious.
??So, his father, that is, Sean's second uncle, instilled in him a lot of consequences of offending Sean, and forced him to come to Sean and apologize to Sean for ridiculing Sean last time.
"never mind!"
Sean glanced at this cousin in name. The other person's face was pale, obviously he was under a lot of mental pressure, and he didn't need to think about the reason. To alienate others.
In this regard, he just shook his head, and the same sentence, as long as he doesn't touch his bottom line, he won't care, but if it touches the bottom line, even if he is related by blood, he will be relentless, let alone In fact, he has no blood relationship with the young man in front of him. The original Sean is already dead.
"thanks, thanks."
??Getting forgiveness from Sean, Cole sighed lightly. .
??In the past few days, in addition to the pressure from his father, other people's attitudes towards him have also undergone great changes.
??Several cousins, cousins, and some people in the family all avoided him from a distance, for fear of being considered close to him and being hated by Xiao En.
??Now Sean is at the peak of power in the Campbell family, and it is safe to become the next head of the family, and under his leadership, the Campbell family will surely take off. In this case, anyone with a discerning eye can see which side to choose.
??Five days later, a caravan with more than a dozen carriages set off from Asai City to the capital.
?? This caravan is the caravan of the Campbell Trading Company, and the goods transported in it are all high-quality furs, which are going to be transported to the royal capital for sale to the big fur merchants in the royal capital.
??More than 30 guards uniformly wore guard uniforms printed with the Campbell family crest and patrolled around the carriage.
??When they passed by a beautifully decorated carriage, they couldn't help but look in awe, and even puffed up their chests, showing their most heroic side, hoping to get the attention of the people in the carriage.
??In the carriage, there is a blond boy with a handsome face. Because of the colder weather, he is wearing a fur coat, and he is stretching his hands to an oven beside him to warm up the fire.
??He is Sean.
??Originally, Sean wanted to take a caravan to the capital and return to school at random, but the head of the family, Brod, forcefully gave him a caravan.
?? In the name of attaching him, but in fact, he was asked to attach this caravan.
??A veteran apprentice knight is no match for him, and he is an invincible master among apprentice knights. If he doesn't make use of it, then Brod doesn't deserve to be called a businessman.
??Undoubtedly, with a master trainee knight like Sean in the caravan, there is no need to worry about being robbed at all. As for the actual robbery, it is not certain who will rob.
??With Sean's current strength, unless he is a formal knight, how can anyone else be his opponent.
??As for the official knights who come to rob, they are really full. A dignified official knight with a title can't be a guest of honor, so he needs to rely on robbery to live.
??Because there are a lot of goods, the speed of the carriage is not fast, but slow, but there are still several days before the start of school, and Sean is not in a hurry.
?? "Master Sean!"
??Suddenly, a young guard trotted to Sean's carriage and shouted to Sean.
"What's up?"
??Opening the carriage window, Sean asked the guard outside.
?? "There is a carriage bearing broken in front, and I want to take a ride in our caravan."
??The young guard said.
?? "A ride?"
??Hearing this, Sean frowned. Although he doesn't do business, he comes from a merchant family after all, and he still knows a little about the taboos in caravans.
??One of the taboos is that people who hitchhike halfway are the most taboo, because such people have unknown origins and are most likely to be spies sent by robbers, and they are the most dangerous.
?? "Who is it?"
?? After thinking about it, Sean asked.
?? "A boy and a girl with eight guards. Judging by their clothes, they should come from rich people, not like spies sent by robbers. That's why the steward asked me to ask you."
The young guard explained that even Xiao En understood the truth. He, who often escorts goods, naturally knew it. It's just that the two of them were dressed in unusual clothes, and there were eight seemingly capable guards around them. , if you refuse rashly, it may cause dissatisfaction and conflicts on the other side, so I came here to let Sean make up his mind.
"I gonna go see!"
?? After thinking about it, Sean replied.
??Under normal circumstances, it is true that he should refuse immediately, but sometimes, he may not be able to refuse. After all, the other party is accompanied by guards, so he decided to go to see the situation first, and then decide whether to allow this group of people to join.
