Chapter 1392 26. Temporary meeting in the Southern Alliance City
Dang——dang——dang——

Three deep and solemn peals rang out from the bell tower of the Confederate City.

In the hall made entirely of marble, there were only a few figures sitting in the arched parliament seats that imitated the sacred temple, and each of them was a member of parliament of distinguished status.

Among them is Catalina's father, the Duke of Violet.

"Such a simple idea, why has none of you ever thought of it?"

The old man sitting in the front row, wearing a deep moon-colored robe with three meteorite badges on his collar, as if he was wearing the entire starry sky on his body, spoke, and his empty voice echoed in the hall.

The savings bank was in full swing, causing quite a stir, even alarming many ancient families.

In their eyes, Liberty City was undoubtedly robbing them of their money.

A savings bank is different from a commercial street. Every transaction on a commercial street has to pay taxes to those in power, but all the money earned by a savings bank goes into the pocket of the young lord - he said that the savings bank is not a profit-making institution, but only provides convenience for depositors - who would believe it?
You help people save money and pay them interest. Do you think you are the Holy Son of the Church of Wealth?
Damn, it seems like he really is.

At this moment, the congressmen had different thoughts, but they all thought of this at the same time and showed ugly faces.

If it were any other church, in the turbulent years when the church was in decline, they could easily have used the power of the monarchy to seize it through subtle influence or force.

But the Church of Fortune... let's put it this way, Lady Fortune is so deeply rooted among humans that almost everyone among them has a church medal.

In name, when they met Annan, they all had to perform the ritual of a believer.

"So, what do you think?" The old man, who was obviously of higher status, asked the others.

"Can we ban the depository from existing in the South on the grounds that it is 'endangering the security of the Union'?" the only female member of parliament said in a deep voice.

"Who endangers the security of the Alliance, the Empire?"

Said another councillor, who was short and fat with a thick dwarf beard.

His face looked the worst. He had originally ordered his subordinates to find a way to eat up all the money in the treasury, but at the critical moment he received the news that the empire was sending an envoy. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and take action to remedy the situation. Now the young lord's subordinates were arguing in Meteorite City.

"We don't have to be afraid of the Empire. I don't believe they can reach this far!"

The seemingly inexperienced congressman shouted, asking him to go first and then acted like a coward again.

Dudu——

The old man's scepter then knocked against the ancient tiles of the hall.

"I'm not asking you to target the Son of God. The Southern Alliance is not a bandit or a robber. What we want is to get back what belongs to us."

The old man looked around and stopped at Duke Violet.

"Gray, you went to Liberty City, you tell me."

Duke Violet said nothing. When the other councillors were about to lose their patience, he said calmly, "I have walked around the streets of Liberty City. The residents there live and work in peace and contentment, with happiness on their faces. There are new buildings and long queues everywhere. There are no homeless people, beggars, thieves, pickpockets, or unkempt people. I have been there for two days and have not even seen a poor person with patched clothes."

Except for the elder who was listening attentively, the other councillors all looked impatient.

"What exactly do you want to say?" The short and fat congressman couldn't help but speak.

Duke Violet ignored him and continued, "Without exception, they all love and respect Lord Annan. The locals' loyalty to him is beyond my imagination. For foreign tourists, Liberty City is a city of miracles and a creator of miracles.

"The creator of miracles..." The old man chewed on the word and did not deny it.

To have grown to this point in just three years, there must be someone behind it, or it is a new legend.

The leader of the second millennium of the Saint Laurent calendar... "From my brief contact with Annan, he is a lord who bears grudges when defeated and takes revenge when victorious, just like politicians. As long as you don't really anger him, he is a good young man most of the time."

"So we might as well do whatever he does."

"You're talking nonsense." The tall and strong female councillor snorted.

"If we, as lords, don't even have the confidence to defeat our opponents head-on in our own territory..." Duke Violet's tone was somewhat sarcastic, "It would be better for us to follow his surname, Reeves."

The other congressmen were deep in thought. At this moment, an inopportune voice was heard in the hall.

"How old is that boy? Isn't it inappropriate to make him his son?" the young congressman asked loudly.

……

The Duke of Violet and the parliamentarians walked out of the hall one after another.

Their relationship seemed stiff, and they returned to their respective carriages without talking.

"We can go back now."

The carriage with the Graham family crest printed on it slowly drove away, traveling through the streets of the ancient Confederate city.

"Father, are you going to target Annan Reeves?" Catalina asked.

"No, it's just business competition."

Worried that his daughter might not understand, Duke Violet explained in great detail. The carriage slowly came to the teleportation hub in the center of the city and returned to Flower City through the portal.

After talking about what happened in the palace, Duke Violet recalled the last words spoken by the old councillor.

"I won't stop you, but remember, if you accidentally cross the line... you will not get any support from the Confederacy."

It seemed that the old man was suggesting that the congressmen should actively think of countermeasures, but in fact he was warning them not to do anything stupid.

The youngest family behind the congressmen present here has been in existence for two hundred years. For them, stability is the first element for survival. As long as they don't make mistakes, it is considered a meritorious service. No one will take the risk of bringing disaster to the family.

But the old man didn't forbid it... He left a loophole for the desperate guy to give it a try.

Just like when Idyllia paid a high price to help their brother Levis get the position of Lord of Breeze City.

This is consistent with their character... never stepping out, always just watching quietly, sneering when there is danger, and rushing forward when there is profit.

"Father, should we tell Annan in advance?" Catalina.

The Violet Duke remained silent.

He doesn't like to owe favors.

……
