Chapter 31: Not too harmful, but extremely insulting
The nightlife in Goldshire ended like this, and Raven went back to work again.
As a high-ranking person, there are always endless meetings. Yesterday I just confirmed the order content, but today I have to finalize more details.
"Lord Baron, are you sure you want three hundred live pigs, not live pigs?" the livestock dealer Ham asked.
Leiwen nodded: "Yes, three hundred live pigs, plus six hundred live chickens, and six hundred live ducks, half male and half female. Is there any difficulty?"
Ham considered it and said: "There are indeed some. I need your time, sir. A large truck can pull up to eight pigs at the same time, and every five pig trucks must be equipped with at least one feed transporter. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to hire so many people "
This was not beyond Raven's expectation. After all, there were no cars or trains in this era, and pigs were not driven like cattle and sheep. They relied solely on horse-drawn carriages for transportation, and the transportation capacity was about this: "Well. , then give it to me within at least half a month Just ship the first batch, no less than a hundred heads, and the order can be completed before the end of September."
A sincere smile appeared on Ham's face: "Thank you for your consideration, sir. I will definitely bring you the best animal Mouth!"
With a bang, the door was kicked open, and a petite lady walked in fiercely: "Are you Raven?"
Leaven looked at her. Looking at this girl, my eyes can't help but light up.
She is not tall, even standing, she is not much taller than Raven who is sitting. Her light red hair is tied into a high bun on the back of her head. She is obviously dressed like a mature woman, but she does not show her mature temperament. , like a little girl who deliberately pretends to be an adult. With her raised chin, she has a lively and cute look.
Her facial features are delicate and beautiful, her two amber eyes are lively and lively, the tip of her nose is small, her lips are thin and pink, and two small tiger teeth are exposed when she looks at her.
A gorgeous silk robe was draped around her body, completely covering her figure, but it could not conceal the youthful vitality radiating from the inside out.
"Hey, didn't you hear?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes: "I'm asking you, are you Raven?"
Leaven will not be angry with a child, Smiling and said: "But you haven't said what your name is yet."
The girl said angrily: "Answering a lady's question is the etiquette that a noble should have. Don't you understand?"
"In that case, you are also a noble." Raven The smile on his face became thicker: "Then you should know that before asking other people's names, you should introduce yourself first. Isn't this noble? The most basic etiquette?"
"You!" The girl frowned, then relaxed her hand and said, "Okay, then I will tell you, I am Nancy Fox. !”
As soon as this was said, there was a gasp in the conference room, and everyone looked at each other.
The Fox family is here, and it’s so fast!
There was a chaotic collision of tables and chairs, and the businessmen present stood up and saluted: "Miss Nancy!"
Seeing the panic of these people, Nancy raised a proud smile on her lips.
She is the youngest daughter of the Fox family, she is seventeen years old this year.
The old proverb of the Empire says that parents always love their youngest children the most, but this sentence does not apply to Nancy.
When she was born, her mother died due to dystocia.
The countess had a chance to survive, but the price was Nancy's death; in the end, her maternal instinct prevailed over her desire to live, she gave up her life, and Nancy was born.
The Earl of Montreal could not accept all this. He loved his wife deeply and believed that Nancy had killed her. He could no longer face his daughter and alienated her intentionally or unintentionally.
People are accustomed to putting others down and flattering others. Since even the earl doesn't care about her, the servants will naturally not treat her well. They often deduct her expenses and even want to manipulate her. life.
Nancy inherited her mother's tenacity very well. She did not suffer silently in the face of oppression, but chose to resist. After breaking the legs of several maids and smashing the head of a nobleman with a wine glass, After the nose, she was called to montreal for the first time to talk seriously.
This was the only time in her life that she talked to her father for more than five sentences.
She was twelve years old then.
Since then, her temper has become more and more violent. She wants everyone to value herself, and anyone who despises her must pay the price. She will not show any mercy to others, whether in words or actions. And since she became a mage at the age of fifteen, the price has become even heavier.
She is famous in the aristocratic circles of the Nord province and is known as the "Fire Rose of the Fox Family".
The reason why she appeared in Goldshire was because of the request of the Earl of Montreal. Her father wanted her to contact Hyde, who was temporarily living here.
Originally, she came here with the intention of working as a foreigner. Just a few days later, Hyde left on her own. She was also happy to enjoy some free time here, so she stayed temporarily.
"Raven, Raven Ota Griffith." The man in front of him showed a disgusting, aristocratic smile: "It's an honor to meet you, Miss Nancy."
With a snap, Nancy slapped away Raven's stretched out hand: "Don't be so playful with me, Raven, I'm done." You’re already standing here, why don’t you admit your mistake?” Lei Wen thought for a moment and said suddenly, “Oh! Did I not go to greet Miss Nancy in advance? I'm really sorry, I've been too busy recently."
Nancy bit her lip.
This man is really annoying. Although he looks young, he is as slippery as an old man. She only feels this way when facing her father's old housekeeper.
"As expected of 'Little Bee', you are really glib." Nancy said arrogantly: "But your words can't coax me, don't even try to change the subject."
"I ask you, is it you who killed me?" Karl?"
The shameless man in front of him was stunned for a moment, and then showed a scared expression: "Oh, Karl, that is indeed a tragedy. When he jumped up from the seat and jumped at me, I was almost stunned! If my guards hadn't fought to protect him, he might have succeeded. "
"But don't worry, I know about Karl's assassination. There is absolutely no instruction from the Fox family. We are both victims, and I will not ask for any compensation from your family."
Not only Nancy, this sentence stunned everyone present.
Feili thought in his heart that he was worthy of being a baron. His ability to tell lies with open eyes was truly outstanding, and his psychological quality was top-notch. No wonder he was able to snatch the title of baron from Denise.
Nancy's eyes widened. She had never seen such a thick-skinned person before.
"Raven! You are really going too far." Her chest heaved and she put her hands on the table to make herself look as tall as possible: "Not only did you kill Carl, but you also framed our Fox family?! You How can a gangster from a lowly background have such courage? Who are you and us? ”
“ Originally I just wanted you to kneel down and apologize, but now I have changed my mind!" She wrinkled her small nose and raised three fingers: "I have three requests."
"First! You kneel down in front of me right now, slap me in the face, and apologize to me until I am satisfied.”
"Second! I want you to sign a document in person, restore Karl's reputation, and publicly apologize, and post your apology documents all over the streets of Eagle Territory."
"Third! I want you to prepare A thousand bottles of angel tears will be delivered to my residence within a month!"
"If you fail to do any of these three things, be prepared to bear the wrath of the Fox family!"
As soon as the three conditions came out, the entire conference room fell into silence.
None of the merchants dared to express their anger, and Feili was even more worried, with cold sweat dripping from his smooth forehead.
Lord Lei Wen is probably going to lose his face today.
It is really embarrassing to kneel down and slap oneself in front of a woman, even if she is a young lady from the earl family.
That would not only make Raven a joke in the noble circle, but also make the reputation he had finally built up in the Eagle Territory evaporate completely. The merchants who had just begun to surrender would have to be cautious again. .
Fili will be the unlucky one. He finally became the president and hugged Raven's thigh. As a result, the thigh was about to be broken, and his knee might even be pressed against it. On this poor guy.
For a while he even started to complain.
Raven, Raven, you are still too young. You killed Karl just for a short time. Not only are you unlucky, but now you will also implicate me!
Even more nervous than him was Eric.
The Iron Warrior stood behind Raven, holding the enchanted sword tightly in his palm, but he did not dare to make a move or even make a sound.
That is the daughter of the earl family.
Since inheriting the title, the Baron has always been successful in his work, but none of the opponents he has faced are as strong as today.
Today... is probably a major stain on the history of the Griffith family.
Eric even felt a little sorry for himself. Why did he choose to be loyal to the Griffith family? There was Donald who was a prodigal, and now there is Raven who does things regardless of the consequences.
Forget it, no matter what, he is also the master he is loyal to, a Nord man, and his promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold!
His eyes swept over the businessmen present, and he had already made a decision. As long as these people dared to spread the rumors of Baron Raven from now on, he would not mind getting his sword stained with blood.
"What, you dare not? Are you a grown man, do you dare to do it or not?" Nancy's arrogant voice echoed in the conference room, and a wisp of flame bloomed from her fingertips: "Tell you, I Not only is she a young lady from the Fox family, but she is also a second-level flame magician. If you don’t move, I will have to burn something!”
There was a sound of the stool rubbing against the floor, and Lei Wenteng stood up.
Nancy puffed out from her nose: "When you apologize, you have to have an apologetic attitude. Who are you showing your face to? Smile!"
Eric looked away, He didn't want to see what was about to happen, and he didn't want to see the master he was loyal to being humiliated. Snap——
The crisp sound echoed in the room, and Eric couldn't help closing his eyes and breathing heavily.
"Raven! You're a gutter rat, a trash, a gangster, a scumbag, you, you dare to hit me?!"
This is Nancy's voice.
Eric turned his head to look, and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him. His little eyes were as big as popcorn.
Nancy Fox, this unruly and willful young lady, was actually pinched under the arm by Raven, leaving a clear palm print on her butt made of satin.
Eric felt that his brain was running out - what happened, Lord Baron, actually hit Nancy?
"Hit you? Not only do I want to beat you, I also want to beat you!" Raven exhaled.
In full view of everyone, he pressed Nancy's upper body on the table with a strong effort of his arms. He pinched both her wrists firmly with one hand, and raised his other hand high, giving her a slap. They took pictures one after another: "Apologise, right?"
"Slap, right?"
"Kneel down, right!?"
"Then I'll be satisfied. You!”
The crisp sound sounded rhythmically, like a drum song.
"Raven!" Nancy struggled and twisted her body, but magicians were never good at physical strength, and Raven's strength was too great, and she couldn't break away at all: "I am No. The Governor of the Province of Virtue and the Count of Montreal's daughter, how dare you..."
Before she finished speaking, another slap fell, and Nancy's face turned into a small apple, and her eyes were filled with tears. Red, feeling ashamed and angry.
The slap did hurt, but not to that extent.
It was so embarrassing to be spanked in public, even her father had never spanked her before!
This move is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
"Leaven! Stop, otherwise, I will tell my father and let him kill you!"
Leaven sneered: "You are spoiled and unlearned. Will the unskilled aristocratic children not be able to speak after being separated from their parents? ?”
“Do you know why I dare to hit you here? Because I am not the son of any nobleman, I am a nobleman myself!”
“I will let you do it today! You know, the honor of a noble is inviolable!”
Snap——
Maybe it was swollen from being beaten too much, or maybe it was really hard this time, tears welled up in Nancy's eyes, and she said with a cry: "Raven, stop! I, I forgive you, let me go now, I promise, I will not retaliate against you..."
"What did you call me?" Raven showed no mercy.
"Raven...Baron Raven!" Nancy said repeatedly.
But the next moment, another blow fell: "To apologize, you must have an apologetic attitude. Have you forgotten what you said? Smile!"
"But...but I can't laugh..." Nancy's voice was aggrieved.
Leaven almost laughed, and said with a straight face: "If you can't laugh, cry!"
Like a frightened puppy, Nancy cried. Said: "Woooo... I... I was wrong! Baron Raven, I was wrong, please let me go..."
Raven snorted with satisfaction. : "What's wrong?"
"I, I shouldn't...shouldn't disturb your meeting, shouldn't rush in and ask you to apologize, and, and...oh!" Another note The blow was neither light nor heavy, and Nancy quickly said: "Also, I shouldn't be so willful, and I shouldn't put forward such excessive conditions. Carl deserves to die!"
"Well... I finally realized it." Raven shook his neck: "It seems that you still know right from wrong."
Nancy breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting out of this hell. The same punishment, but at this time, another pain suddenly hit: " Ah! Raven, Baron! I've already apologized, what are you going to do?"
"Ahem." Raven coughed and let go of his arms."
< br>In fact, he did it smoothly. After all, the feel is actually quite good.
Breaking free from the restraints, Nancy jumped away like a frightened rabbit, covering her buttocks with her hands. For a moment, she couldn't tell which of the two was more popular now: "Raven... You, please wait for me, I’m not done with you anymore”
Raven raised his hand again, and Nancy shuddered, turned around and rushed out.
The conference room fell into silence again.
Everyone was shocked. No one expected that Raven not only did not apologize, but actually taught Nancy a lesson. The scene was very heated. What was even more unexpected was that Nancy would just leave like this. .
Baron Raven, is he really not even afraid of the earl?
Eric hasn't recovered yet. He really can't understand why Raven dared to do such a thing, and why Nancy ran away after doing all this!
Not only did Raven maintain his reputation, he also made his prestige even higher.
Eric felt ashamed of his previous thoughts and was a little envious of Raven.
I don’t know how the Earl’s buttocks feel.
Compared to Eric, Fili was even more shocked. Cold sweat kept flowing out from his forehead, and he was constantly frightened in his heart.
He was almost, almost, almost ready to publicly support Miss Nancy. After all, the Earl seemed much more convincing than the Baron.
But I never thought that the arrogant and arrogant young lady would be pushed down on the table and spanked by Raven like an ordinary girl, as if an elder was lecturing a child!
Raven spanked her, which was a slap in the face of the Fox family.
He even dares to slap the Fox family in the face, what else can he not dare to do?
Fortunately! Fortunately, I was timid enough, otherwise I would have gone down to keep Karl company now.
At this moment, Raven's eyes swept over him, making him sit upright: "Baron, you are so brave and decisive, your majesty is like a lion's Average! ”
With him taking the lead, the conference room suddenly became lively, and the businessmen began to praise Raven one by one.
"Okay." Raven raised his hand and suppressed the voice in the room: "This is the conference room, let's talk about business if we want to talk."
He knocked on the table, He glanced deeply at the businessmen present: "What happened here today?" Don't say a word about what's going on here. If even a few words leak out - Fox is a count family after all, they won't do anything to me, but they will do nothing to you."
All the businessmen present suddenly fell silent. , nodded repeatedly.
Even if Raven didn't say anything, they wouldn't have the courage to mock an earl family and risk their lives?
Raven looked at these businessmen who were as quiet as quails, nodded secretly, and felt relieved.
Nancy's appearance was a bit unexpected for him. After all, Goldsmith was not in his hands before, and he had no idea that the Fox family had a daughter here.
But the subsequent handling, especially the choice of spanking, although it was a temporary idea, it was also the most foolproof method he could think of.
It is not pure brutal violence. Even if there are some rumors, they will be regarded as ridiculous rumors at best. They will not have any substantial negative impact on Nancy and the Fox family, and will not really be related to Nancy. This count family has a feud.
On the other hand, we can also use this opportunity to hammer these businessmen and tell them who has the final say in Goldshire.
He clapped his hands: "Okay, let's continue the meeting. Where did we talk before?"
"Live pigs, sir! When we talked about live pigs, Miss Nancy walked in." Ham said .
There was a burst of laughter in the venue, the atmosphere became lively again, and the meeting continued like this.
As time goes by, the days pass in various meetings, and various events are advancing in an orderly manner.
On the seventh day after arriving in Goldshire, Raven finally ended the long meeting. Most of the details of the contract had been finalized, and the only remaining issue was delivery.
This morning, Raven had just had breakfast when the temporarily hired head maid came forward and saluted: "Baron, after two rounds of screening, we have selected twenty-seven maid candidates. Do you need to give any instructions? "
"Call single, young and beautiful girls here, I want to select them myself." Raven wiped his mouth: "Remember, I want personal maids, and I hope you can be with them. To state this, If someone is unwilling or too willing..."
"Understood, sir." Before Raven could finish her words, the head maid already understood the meaning. She nodded: "Your will will be resolved. "
Not long after, with the sound of footsteps, four young maids nervously came to the restaurant and saluted in unison:
"Lord Baron!"
They half-knelt on the ground in accordance with the etiquette taught by the head maid. The tight cow-colored maid uniforms outlined their young and plump bodies, especially the open neckline on the chest, which bulged out their fullness.
Leaven walked up to them and reached out to touch a girl's cheek: "Raise your head."
A handsome face appeared in front of Raven, with a hint of joy in his eyes. Shock and panic: "How could...?"
