I really can't control myself.
Chapter 3384 Self-awareness
Chapter 3384 Self-awareness
Apparently, Cossacki's side didn't cause any waves in the end, because these guards didn't dare to actually fight with the city guards.
They were hired by the Chamber of Commerce just to make a living. Why would they risk their lives for a few silver coins? What kind of situation would it be if they fought against the city guards? Would they dare to do so?
This is not even a question of whether they can win or not. Even if the gods possess them and they really win, then what? They have directly stirred up a hornet's nest, and soon it will really turn into a rebellion.
So the "arrest" operation went quite smoothly, and soon Coxsackie and several core members of their Chamber of Commerce were pinned to the ground without causing any waves.
"Okay, okay, very good." Although Coxsackie was pressed to the ground, he still said unyieldingly, "I will definitely report this matter to the Prime Minister. I want to see how you explain it to the Prime Minister later."
"Report to the Prime Minister?" Lucy chuckled, leaned down, and whispered in Coxsack's ear, "Who are you? Are you qualified to talk to the Prime Minister? Do you think the Prime Minister will have time to deal with a piece of trash like you? Coxsack, you will not survive if you fall into my hands today. Do you think the Prime Minister will do anything for you after you die?"
Coxsackie's face turned purple. He knew that what Lucy said was true. How could he ask the Prime Minister to support him?
He was just in a state of impotent rage, and now he was quite regretful. He regretted that he had only just realized the importance of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, and he had not expected that he was unwilling to give up his family property, and he had not figured it out for a while, which led to such serious consequences.
In fact, Coxsackie didn't figure it out not only because he was unwilling to accept it. If Lucy hadn't shown him, he would definitely not be able to figure it out now. The reason is that as a businessman, as a leek being cut, he really didn't think that one day he would become the one cutting leeks.
He thought he just thought less than Lucy, but in fact there was a big gap between them.
Of course, besides feeling regretful, he was also thinking about how to get out of this situation. Seeing that his harsh words were useless and he was even ridiculed, Coxsackie immediately changed his attitude and began to beg for mercy.
"Well, niece Lucy, even though your father and I have been fighting for a lifetime, we can be considered both enemies and friends. You see, our two chambers of commerce not only compete, but also cooperate." There was nothing wrong with what Coxsackie said, because the two chambers of commerce had actually cooperated before, and he and Feldman were not always against each other, there were times when they cooperated.
But cooperation does not mean that he does not hate Feldman. He and Feldman are enemies. It's just that in their line of work, interests are everything, so they must cooperate when necessary.
"I'll give you a chance." Lucy here suddenly said.
"What opportunity?" Coxsackie was delighted and asked quickly.
"As long as you tell me who poisoned my father, I will leave you a chance to live." Lucy asked through gritted teeth.
"This... I really don't know." Coxsackie was very anxious. He didn't kill the man, and he didn't know who killed Feldman. To be honest, he felt that he was the most likely person to kill Feldman, because everyone knew that the two had a grudge. Apart from that, he had no other suspects.
But seeing that Lucy was about to change her expression, he immediately said, "Give me some time, I'll send someone to investigate for you, and we'll definitely find the murderer who killed your father."
"Oh..." Faced with such procrastination, Lucy sneered. Do you need to send someone to investigate? You are a prisoner now, who will help you?
"Take him away." Lucy ignored Coxsackie's pleas for mercy and waved her hand. Her men took Coxsackie away. Then Lucy quickly bowed to Duman and said, "Thanks to the help of the city guard, the matter was resolved so quickly."
"I'm glad I didn't delay the Prime Minister's business." Duman's meaning was very clear. I'm not doing this for your sake, but because of the Prime Minister's order.
Duman didn't have a good impression of Lucy. First of all, she was a businessman of low birth. On the other hand, he also vaguely felt that he was being used as a gun by her. How could Duman feel comfortable when the person who plotted against him was a lowly businessman? "In the future, our Qiwan Chamber of Commerce will also prepare gifts for the adults." Lucy whispered.
"Hmph." Duman felt better. He didn't know if Lucy was a good person or if all businessmen were like that. But since the other party had shown goodwill, there was no need for him to continue to argue. "Retreat."
That night, it was really lively.
It wasn't just Coxsackie's Chamber of Commerce that was in trouble. Josh over there originally wanted to take his people to get involved, but halfway through, he suddenly realized why he should get involved. Could he still help Coxsackie?
Why stop Lucy at this time? It would be better to do it myself, right? So with a wave of his hand, they also went to confiscate the house.
So the same story happened again in another chamber of commerce, which was also the chamber of commerce that usually opposed Josh. They had not been able to crush the other party before, but now they had found an opportunity and they could crush them to death.
The remaining Minster Chamber of Commerce is even simpler. He has always been implementing the concept of "I am the same". The person he learned from is Josh.
Yes, Minstead was not as dark and witty as Josh thought. In fact, what Josh didn't know was that Minstead was best at imitating others. And the person he was imitating most recently was Josh himself.
He placed people around Josh, and whatever the other party did, he would copy. This has always been his secret, learning from the other party and surpassing the other party.
So Minside didn't really understand why he wanted to be the vice president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce. He just followed Josh to learn. But after this night, Minside became a well-known figure in all business circles.
Didn't Josh lead his men to search the house? Minstead also searched the house. And his search was smoother than Josh's.
Because Josh's side raided the enemy's hometown, and Minstead really didn't find the enemy, so he just randomly found a big chamber of commerce.
Then, as soon as he arrived, people immediately invested. The main reason for this was that Minstead acted late, and the news that Coxsackie had an accident had already spread.
The presidents of all the chambers of commerce knew about the current situation. They didn't know what the specific powers of the Royal Chamber of Commerce were, nor did they know the specific orders given by the prime minister. Could it be that they were specifically responsible for confiscating property? Anyway, the news they received was that even the city guards were helping the people of the Royal Chamber of Commerce to confiscate property.
So what do you say we should do? Resist? You must be kidding. What can you do to resist? They are just leeks, okay?
So the remaining chambers of commerce discussed it and decided that if they just invested directly, they might still get some better results.
