Chapter 685: The Regent also wants to see me?
Putting aside other things, Amber has always had some good impression of Pascius, the former "regent envoy".
This man is actually somewhat similar to Viscount Basford on the ‘Princess Party’. They are also both imperial barons, but they do not have the arrogant taste of imperial nobles. Instead, they are all shrewd merchants.
This is naturally related to the fact that the two families are both chemical giants in the Star Dragon Empire. Both of them basically control half of the entire imperial chemical industry, and they also have large and small investments in other industries.
So in Amber's view, the two of them can be as good as barons in their respective camps. In addition to their personalities and abilities, the more important thing is the traits of this "money tree".
Who doesn't like money?
The Regent and the Imperial Princess are no exception. They do have money, but after reaching their level, no matter what they do, they will spend more money. Especially since the two sides are still in the fierce internal political struggles of the empire, they need to spend even more money while constantly expanding and maintaining their own power.
Whether it is Viscount Basfos, Pascius, or other wealthy nobles in both camps, they also seek more privileges and interests for themselves through "political donations".
After all, it is similar to the Federation. The military-industrial complex was replaced by major nobles, but when the old emperor Frederico was still in control, the two sides were not so blatant.
Going back to Pascius, Amber's current view of this imperial nobleman is very complicated. The two sides can actually chat very well and have coincidences in some business concepts. However, because of the camp problems of both sides, they cannot communicate in depth like before.
But no matter what, since the other party has appeared, Amber also wants to have a good chat with him to see if he can find out what is going on.
Soon, Amber took two glasses of wine from the waiter beside him, and handed one of them to Pascius, and then walked towards the corner of the banquet hall first.
When Pascius saw Amber's movements, he first smiled helplessly, then sighed as if he had accepted his fate and raised his heels.
His two servants or guards naturally separated the others around him, creating a temporary private chat environment for the two.
"It's rare to communicate face to face once, I won't talk nonsense. What are you doing?"
"You are still so choking about your words, Mr. Amber~"
Pascius smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass in his hand, took a sip, and a complicated emotion flashed in his eyes.
He looked around and confirmed that no one was approaching under the obstruction of the attendant, and then whispered: "Mr. Amber, this time I came here with the will of the Regent, and he hoped to meet you. He thought it would be better to explain some things in person."
Amber raised his eyebrows, and the wine glass in his hand shook gently, and the wine rippled in the glass.
A trace of playfulness flashed in his eyes, but he was secretly alert in his heart. What the Regent wants to see him? This old fox played with him some time ago, but now he suddenly said he wanted to see him?
Thinking of this, Amber remained silent and said lightly: "Oh~ The Regent wants to see me? This is really strange. I am very curious. If you just want to meet me, just send an invitation to our Atlas Group docking staff. Why do you ask me to come to me in person?"
Hearing Amber's words, Pascius sighed, his expression even more solemn. He had been brewing for a long time, as if he didn't know whether to say the next thing, but in the end he made up his mind.
Pascius stepped forward and stuck to Amber, lowered his voice, and almost whispered: "Things are much more complicated than you think. We did communicate directly with your company, but I thought about it for a long time and finally decided to come and meet you in person."
Pascius' expression was complicated and unstable. Amber could see that he had been in a fierce psychological struggle. After a while, he continued to speak:
"The Regent has recently changed. To be honest, even I am very confused about these changes, just like a different person. I say so, Mr. Amber, can you understand?"
"Huh?"
Although Amber was still in a state of change when he heard this, he was suddenly shocked. Pascius's words seemed to have no substantive content on the surface, but Amber knew very well that as one of the staff members of the Regent, every word he said was by no means casually.
After all, what he said was the Regent.
This is a man who can be called a generation of heroes in the eyes of players, especially those "Essential Emperor" who are well aware of the history of the empire. Every move and every change of his actions are by no means casual.
Such a powerful and scheming person suddenly had such a huge change, even giving people the illusion of "changing individuals". This is definitely not a trivial matter.
Moreover, even Passius, an aide who has always been with the Regent and knows most of the things well, does not know what exactly happened, which makes Amber feel the seriousness of the matter.
Thinking of this, Amber did not hesitate for a moment. He raised his hand and waved it down suddenly. A stream of spiritual energy instantly surged out of his palm and spread rapidly, forming a layer of airtight shielding force field.
This force field isolates all signals from the outside world, whether it is electronic signals or psychic fluctuations, and cannot penetrate this solid barrier. All potential surveillance and eavesdropping at this dinner are completely blocked, ensuring that the conversation between him and Pascius will never be eavesdropped or stolen by anyone.
Anyway, it is not a secret that he is a psychic, and it probably spread when he arrived at the capital of the empire on the first day.
But so what? The identity of the psychic is not so important under the cover of the actual controller of the Atlas Group. The nobles of the imperial capital still flock to make friends with him.
The prejudice in people's hearts is indeed a big mountain. But if this mountain is a 'golden mountain', the situation will be different again.
"You guy, didn't you scare me?"
After the spiritual power field was formed, Amber spoke while looking at Pascius up and down, with a look of vigilance on his face.
"No. Mr. Amber, how could I dare to scare you in such a thing?" Pascius said with some amusement and crying, and the tension just now also disappeared - this is also the reason why Amber increased his voice through his psychic energy.
Amber narrowed his eyes and looked at Pasios, who suddenly felt the illusion that he was stripped naked and exposed on the street. However, Pasios still endured this discomfort and quietly looked at Amber.
After a moment, Amber said lightly after reading it simply, "I'll assume that your words are true, Pascius."
Pascius was relieved when he heard this, and then he heard Amber's voice continue to ring.
"Since you will choose to come to me in person, there may be something wrong. However, I am also a little curious. What does the Regent want to say to me?" Pascius shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Mr. Amber, I don't actually know what he wants to say to you in detail. I just noticed that he has changed a lot recently. It was because he suddenly said that he wanted to see you when he learned that you came to the imperial capital and suddenly said that he wanted to tell you in advance. I hope that Mr. Amber will help us in view of the success of our previous cooperation."
"Wow, are you still embarrassed to say 'It's still smooth'?" Amber raised his eyebrows and his tone suddenly became a little rude.
Pascius: "Mr. Amber, I am willing to compensate for our inappropriate actions during this period."
"Good guy, you are so loyal."
Amber was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Passius was so loyal, which further showed that the "normal" regent is definitely not bad for his own people.
Now that his staff has forced them to seek external help, it means that the problem may be a bit big.
But what happened to the Regent was never mentioned in the game plot, and Amber couldn't guess it for a while. If you want to find out, you might really have to meet the Regent.
"I have gained a lot from this trip to the imperial capital. I am about to meet two big names in a row~" Amber said jokingly.
At this moment, the heavy oak door of the banquet hall was suddenly pushed open by an elegant force, and everyone present burst into the banquet hall like a wave.
All the nobles present, including the host of the banquet, couldn't help but lower their heads, only Amber and Pascius, who were shrouded in the power field of the psychic shield, were not affected.
Amber and Pascius turned their heads and saw His Highness Princess Agnes slowly stepping into the brightly lit banquet hall in a gorgeous dress.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
This is another new style of dress. It can be said that Amber has never seen His Royal Highness wear repeated clothes these days. The only thing in common is that the main colors of these clothes are the crimson red, and today's one is no exception.
The crimson silk is the base, mixed with some white satin as embellishment, and is embroidered with delicate and delicate gold-edged lace, like blooming roses spreading between the hem of the skirt.
The tailoring of the dress perfectly outlines her graceful figure, and the belt around her waist sets off her waist as thin as willows. Agnes's shoulders were covered with a soft fox fur, and the fox fur's fur fur fur shines with a faint luster under the illumination of the crystal lamp in the banquet hall, adding a bit of nobility and elegance to her.
Her long platinum hair hangs on her shoulders like a waterfall, with several strings of dazzling pearls and gems interspersed between her hair, and her iconic S-shaped two corners emerge from the ends, demonstrating her identity.
The guests present showed shock and stunning expressions when they saw the appearance of His Royal Highness. No one expected that Princess Agnes would actually attend the dinner today. You should know that these nobles don’t have any chance to see the princess of the Empire.
They either stopped dancing, put down their wine glasses, bowed and saluted, and stared at the beautiful princess intently.
The entire banquet hall seemed to be still at this moment, only the light footsteps of His Highness Agnes and the crisp sound of his ornaments echoed.
Amber and Pascius were also stunned by this sudden stunning. After their eyes were involuntarily turned to the beautiful princess, they quickly looked at each other again, and the mentality of the two people at this moment also changed subtly.
Pascius frowned slightly, as if thinking about the reasons and purpose of His Royal Highness the sudden appearance of His Royal Highness.
Amber was indeed a little surprised. At the banquet where the owner had a higher identity and higher specifications in the previous few days, Agnes did not appear. He felt a little nervous. He knew that the appearance of the princess was not a coincidence. She must have noticed something and came here deliberately. He turned to look at the princess, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
No matter what happens, you must pay attention to good expression management. This is also one of the "little tricks" of the elites in the Atlas Financial Business Center, and now it has become the basic skill of the front-line personnel of the Atlas Group.
Agnes ignored all the nobles in the banquet hall and waved his hand to the host of the dinner. At the same time, he said "continue" to him with "Dragon Hard", and walked straight towards Amber and the others.
Seeing this, Amber naturally didn't feel good about blocking Agnes outside the force field. When the princess approached, she let go of a hole to let Agnes walk in, and then raised the force field again. After all, maybe these two people would say something amazing again in a while, and this action also disappointed the nobles watching outside.
But they also knew that it would be great if they thought about it. They really heard something they shouldn't have heard, and they probably couldn't get out of this banquet hall.
After entering the force field, the Imperial princess immediately stared at Pascius with a bad expression: "Mr. Amber is the guest I invited. You'd better stay away from it and not have any thoughts you shouldn't have. Don't think I don't know what you are planning."
Pascius smiled bitterly. He was not surprised by Agnes' attitude towards him, but his actions like "hen protecting his cub" came up and made him unexpected. Obviously, Amber was highly valued on the princess' side.
"Your Highness, Mr. Amber's Atlas Group has had many cooperations with me before. We have been a business partner for a long time. Please rest assured that I am definitely not going to do anything unfavorable to Mr. Amber."
Hearing his words, Agnes's bad expression did not change at all, but his tone was even colder: "Is that so? But why did I hear that the Regent suddenly arrived at the Emperor? Is it so coincidental? Passus."
The Regent also came to the imperial capital?
Amber raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the other party was really planning to meet him. If the meeting with the Regent was to go deep into the area controlled by the other party, Amber would definitely refuse, but if the meeting was in the capital of the Star Dragon Empire, it would be fine.
Pascius: "Your Highness, in fact, Lord Regent wants to meet Mr. Amber. The master you know actually cooperated with the Atlas Group very early."
Hearing this, Agnes's face became even worse, and of course she knew the previous cooperation between the Regent and Amber.
But she did not continue to talk to Passius, but turned her head to look at Amber, with a complex look in her eyes, with doubts, anxiety, disappointment, and even a little pitiful?
"Mr. Amber, so are you going to meet the Regent?"
‘Acting. This woman must be acting! ’This thought suddenly flashed through Amber’s mind.
