At the entrance of Mayer Commerce Association.

Harley, his son, Gandalf, and Louis all widened their eyes and looked at each other.

Just when Louis wanted to start a "What are you looking at" argument, Gandalf, standing at the front, reminded him:

"Mr. Mayer, did His Highness Louis mention to you that the upcoming cooperation between the White Tower and His Highness will be fully handled by you?"

Louis finally felt his suspended heart calm down, and for a moment, he was both amused and frustrated.

He just remembered that he had mentioned this to the White Tower before to separate his political, military, and commercial identities.

So he put on a kind smile:

"Look at you talking, His Highness mentioned this to me long ago."

"I was just thinking, upon seeing you, whether I've made so much money lately that it has directly blown you three big shots over to our Association."

Gandalf laughed heartily and said:

"Mr. Mayer, you are truly witty and humorous. If you really thought that, you wouldn't have said it."

Louis laughed, "Haha, forgive me, forgive me, so you all are here for...?"

He once again marveled at the dominance of the [Mask of Greed].

Neither the Sapphire Dragon couple nor the Master of the White Tower, Gandalf, had managed to see his true form.

Unless he took off his mask, even if he directly told them he was Louis, they would still be half-believing and half-doubting.

Feeling relieved, he said openly:

"How about we go to our Association's office for a detailed discussion?"

Everyone nodded, and they followed him inside.

Once inside, Harley got straight to the point:

"The waste disposal devices for various districts in the Empire are brokered by our Todd Family."

Louis's gaze suddenly sharpened.

Here to snatch a piece of the pie?

Harley said in a deep voice:

"I have received news that the White Tower is developing new technology to replace the waste disposal equipment of the High Forest."

"Is there any room for negotiation in this matter, to give our Todd Family some time to respond?"

Louis let out a surprised "Oh!"

So they were really here to snatch the pie?

Trying to interfere with my forty small targets yet to be obtained?

You are digging your own grave!

Well, let's clash then!

So he smiled slightly:

"Whether there's room for negotiation, it's not up to me."

Harley glared at his son Gregory and finally sighed and said:

"Regarding this, I won't hide it."

"At the engagement ball of His Highness Louis a while back, things got a bit unpleasant."

"This time, our initial purpose in coming was to meet with Lord Gandalf and communicate about the new waste disposal technology."

"If possible, delay the product's market launch a bit and give us a chance to reduce our losses."

"If not..."

Louis squinted his eyes: "What will you do?"

Harley's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"Then we'll have to offer the research results of the Todd Family on elven technology over the years."

"We hope the White Tower can promptly complete the experiment and help my Ense break free from the elven clan's constraints."

Louis: "Then don't blame me... eh?"

He was taken aback.

What did he just say?

Perhaps sensing the twitch on Louis's face, he calmly said:

"Todd is Ense's Todd, loyal to the Empire is only natural. Of course, this also means offering an apology to His Highness Louis."

"May I trouble you to use Mr. Mayer's channel to communicate with His Highness over there."

The somewhat embarrassed Gregory stepped forward at this time.

He quietly slipped a heavy cloth bag into Louis's hand.

Goodness.

Just from the sound of the metal clashing inside, Louis could swear in the name of [Deadly Sin·Greed]—

These are definitely gold coins! Must be at least 295 gold coins!

Don't ask.

Ask because he had heard it countless times while sleeping with a bag of gold coins for peace of mind.

Louis frowned: "You want to bribe me with money?"

The next moment, Gregory added: "Mr. Mayer, please relay a message to His Highness Louis, earlier I was truly ignorant."

"These 300 gold coins are a deposit, consider it as us being friends with Mr. Mayer."

When Louis came to his senses, he found his right hand had unconsciously clasped Gregory's hand.

While his left hand had already accepted the money bag.

"Move! Move, my body! Let go!"

But he gave too much.

After struggling for a long time, Louis still hung the money bag on his waist.

He said indifferently:

"I primarily enjoy making friends."

"Isn't it just to relay a message? I'm very close with His Highness Louis, this is easy to handle."

Hearing this, Gregory's eyes shone: "Truly?"

Louis pointed to the commerce association under their feet, his mouth slightly curving:

"Where do you think the startup capital of Mayer Commerce Association came from?"

This time, even Harley couldn't sit still.

He directly stepped forward and said:

"Please, say a few good words for us with His Highness Louis. My foolish son was unknowingly misled, and our family would like to make reparations."

"If Mr. Mayer could help us quell His Highness's anger..."

Louis's voice rose:

"But that's my beloved kin, my dearest brothers and sisters!"

Harley's eyes lit up even more.

Such a close relationship?

He then directly pulled off the dimension bag hanging from Gregory's waist.

Amidst the grievance-filled expression on his son, like having his New Year's money taken away, Harley handed over the dimension bag:

"Our Todd Family just loves making lots of friends."

Louis was overjoyed: "What a coincidence, so do I."

Originally, the Todd Family seemed annoying, but now it seemed they were actually quite approachable.
