Magic Industry Empire - 478. Chapter 478 Viscount Leslie's Determination

“Master, does it still hurt?”

Seeing Xu Yi touching her lips, Linda asked immediately with concern.

Xu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: “The pain doesn’t hurt, but it looks like this, I guess it won’t be better when I get home. If Steele sees it, what should I say…”

Linda covered her mouth and snickered.

“Who let the master accidentally, you were forced to kiss by Princess Caroline. If the lady saw it, she would know what was going on right away.”

Xu Yi glared at her angrily: “If Steele asks, I’ll say you were bitten by you!”

“The husband won’t believe it, she knows I am definitely not so brave.”

Looking at Linda who was snickering, Xu Yi sighed helplessly, thinking that this matter might not be clear.

The best way is probably to honestly explain to Steele after you go back, maybe you can win Steele’s forgiveness.

Seeing that the medium-sized magic bus had entered the gate of Anweimar City, Xu Yi shook his head and stopped thinking about these things.

After getting out of the car, Xu Yi took Linda straight to the courtyard of Count Summer.

Director Ram received the notice from Earl Summer two days ago, knowing that Xu Yi is coming today, and prepared in advance. When Xu Yi and Linda appeared, they immediately greeted him.

“President Xu, Viscount Leslie and Baron Haynes are already waiting for you in the living room.”

Xu Yi was taken aback: “Viscount Leslie? When will he come back?”

Director Ram hadn’t answered yet, a long laugh sounded in the courtyard.

“It’s been less than half a month since I came back. I didn’t expect to see you today.”

Xu Yi turned his head and looked around with surprise, and immediately greeted him with a big smile.

“Master Viscount, long time no see!”

Viscount Leslie laughed: “Xu Yi, you are now a Viscount yourself, you can’t call me the same respect as before.”

Xu Yi shook his head quickly: “My honorific name to the Lord Viscount has nothing to do with the rules of the noble council, it is purely because of my respect from the heart.”

Viscount Leslie turned his head to Baron Haynes and said: “Look, I haven’t seen him for two years, and Xu Yi has become more talkative than before. No wonder the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is developing so well now.”

Baron Haynes shrugged: “I think he is right. Otherwise, according to the rules of the noble council, wouldn’t I respect him every time I see him as the Lord Viscount?”

Xu Yi and Viscount Leslie looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

“Okay, let’s just ignore the broken rules of the noble council. Everyone is old friends. You can call me whatever you want. Xu Yi, like Haines, just call me Leslie. Say it. What? You are also a very famous person in the kingdom now, but not the little businessman who had no status before. You can no longer call me the same respect as before.” Viscount Leslie said.

Xu Yi hesitated and nodded: “Well, son…well, Leslie, what are your plans after you come back this time?”

“This is exactly what I want to discuss with you. I discussed it with the Falien director of your Chamber of Commerce in Anweimar City. He told me that he couldn’t make the final decision. I’ll just wait for you to come back.”

“Need to discuss with me?” Xu Yi was a little puzzled, looked at Baron Haynes, and asked in his eyes.

Baron Haynes shook his head, while Viscount Leslie laughed and pulled Xu Yi and walked outside the courtyard.

“Let’s go, I have already booked a banquet at the Chanel restaurant. I won’t be drunk or return tonight!”

Xu Yi had no choice but to signal to Director Ram, asking him to arrange Linda, but he was sandwiched between Viscount Leslie and Baron Haynes and left the courtyard.

“It is really hard to talk about the Zhenbei Army.”

Viscount Leslie sighed deeply, his expression full of memories and emotions.

“You probably didn’t expect that in the windy and snowy environment of the northern border, people may freeze to death at any time, but a large number of soldiers in the Zhenbei Army don’t even have a cotton coat that can wrap their bodies.”

“Doesn’t that mean that many people will freeze to death?” Baron Haines couldn’t help asking.

“It won’t be enough to freeze to death a lot.” Viscount Leslie shook his head. “But it’s true that dozens of people in the Northern Army will freeze to death every winter.”

Baron Haynes and Xu Yi looked at each other, a little bit of unbearable expression in their eyes.

It was already halfway through the banquet and half a drink, when Viscount Leslie heard the two ask about his situation in the military, and immediately opened the chatterbox and began to talk.

“Why are the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army strong? In fact, in winter, in order to prevent freezing to death, they can only keep warming up through exercises. But because the supplies can’t keep up, they can’t eat enough. If you practice too much, your natural physical strength can’t keep up. But if you don’t practice, you’ll freeze to death. So every winter, the Zhenbei Army must look at how much food there is to decide how to practice, even every few days. You have to change the drill plan again, or you will die.”

Xu Yi couldn’t help frowning: “I heard Major Mcconley say that the annual military expenditure of the Zhenbei Army is at least close to 200,000 gold coins. Although it is not enough to improve the armament, it will not be enough to eat?”

Viscount Leslie glanced at Xu Yi and sneered: “Two hundred thousand gold coins? Do you know how many gold coins can be used on the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army?”

Xu Yi was silent.

Although he didn’t have much contact with him, it can be inferred from the tone disclosed by Major McKongli that corruption in the army of the Kingdom of Lampari is extremely serious. If the Kingdom’s finances allocate 200,000 gold coins to the northern army as military expenses, In the end, it was used on the Zhenbei Army. Maybe it didn’t even have fifty thousand gold coins.

In this case, the Zhenbei Army was able to persevere for so many years and did not allow the Kingdom of Sark to go further to the kingdom, which shows how tenacious the combat power and will of the Zhenbei Army is.

“What about this period of time? His Royal Highness Prince Eric began to lead the Northern Army, there will always be no shortage of supplies, right?” Baron Haynes asked. “His Royal Highness wants to win this battle so much and establish prestige for himself. I think he will definitely not treat the soldiers of the Northern Army in this respect.”

“Really?” Viscount Leslie sneered again without commenting on the table when Prince Eric had banqueted himself before leaving from the Northern Army. He sneered again.

Viscount Leslie did not speak, and fell silent for a while.

Xu Yi looked at both Viscount Leslie and Baron Haynes who were in thought at the same time, coughed lightly, and asked Viscount Leslie: “Don’t talk about these disappointing things, son… Leslie, you just said there was The matter needs to be discussed with me, and it has something to do with your future plans? What the hell is it?”

Viscount Leslie put down his wine glass and said sternly: “I mentioned this to the director of your Chamber of Commerce Falien before, but he may not have notified you, so I will say it again. Xu Yi, I want to cooperate with your new Flying Chamber of Commerce. What do you think of opening a magic machinery factory?”

Xu Yi was stunned: “Are you cooperating with our Chamber of Commerce? In your name or in the name of your Stark family?”

Viscount Leslie smiled and said: “I am not the patriarch now, of course I can only represent myself.”

Xu Yi frowned: “If you do this, won’t your family have any opinions?”

“This is my own business, they are not qualified to comment on me.” Viscount Leslie waved his hand. “Xu Yi, just say okay?”

“Of course. In fact, Leslie, you used to have shares in our chamber of commerce. If you didn’t take the initiative to withdraw, now you are the majority shareholder of our chamber of commerce and you don’t need to talk about cooperation with me at all.” Xu Yi said sincerely.

“I don’t need to mention the past. And to be honest, I’m now even more grateful that I made such a wise decision. Otherwise, because I own a part of the shares in the New Flying Business Association, those annoying guys in the family are not Know how to force me.”

Xu Yi and Haines looked at each other, and they could see the worry in each other’s eyes.

From the words of Viscount Leslie, you can hear that his situation in the Stark family after his return may not be so good.

In this case, he actually came to discuss with Xu Yi to start a magic machinery factory. Isn’t this an obvious confrontation with the will of the family?

“Lesley, do you want to know the consequences of doing this?” Xu Yi asked in a deep voice.

Viscount Leslie smiled slightly: “Don’t worry, I know more about these things than you.”

Xu Yi nodded, took a breath, and said, “Well, since you have made a decision, as a friend, of course I will try my best to help you. Come on, what kind of magic machinery factory do you want to open? How to cooperate with our chamber of commerce?”

Viscount Leslie shook his head: “It doesn’t matter what kind of factory, it doesn’t matter what way of cooperation, as long as it is to cooperate with your new flying chamber of commerce.”

Hearing this answer, Xu Yi and Baron Haines took a breath at the same time.

If the two of them were just guessing, then they are now determined.

Viscount Leslie, this is simply trying to go against the will of the Stark family and confront the family head-on!

However, although he is the eldest son of the current patriarch of the Stark family, he is the most likely candidate to succeed as the next patriarch, but such a blatant confrontation with the family will definitely not have good fruit.

The Stark family is recognized as the most powerful noble family in the Lampari Kingdom apart from the royal family, and the energy it contains is far beyond personal comparison.

Why does Viscount Leslie fight against the family?

Xu Yi pondered for a long time, and then slowly asked: “Lesley, stand on the stand of me and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and even Her Royal Highness Servigny. I hope you do this. But stand on the stand of a friend. , But I really don’t want you to do this. It’s no good for you.”

“Yeah, this will only make you suffer, or forget it?” Baron Haynes also persuaded.

Also born in a noble family, Baron Haynes is far more aware than Xu also about the courage and price it takes to fight against the family.

Viscount Leslie shook his head: “In this world, there are always things you want to do without worrying about the cost.” After a pause, he continued: “Especially when I am in the North Army. Two years later.”

Seeing Viscount Leslie’s resolute expression, Xu Yi knew that persuasion was useless, and after thinking about it, he reached out to Viscount Leslie.

“Well, Leslie, you are welcome to officially join the magic industry.”
