The Abel family has a very powerful background. They have long controlled the lifeline of the Sub-Saint Fortress area and have existed in this area for thousands of years. If anyone has the greatest power in the entire Sub-Saint Fortress area, it must be the official General Cyber.
But if we were to say who is second, it would definitely be these aristocratic families hidden in the dark.
Now the head of the Abel family suddenly invited me to a banquet. Although I don’t know why, it is definitely a good thing to have a good relationship with such a family.
Even though he is the branch director of the Cap Chamber of Commerce, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, not to mention that he is not even a strong dragon.
"Hello, sir. This place has been reserved by Lord Abel today. We will only accept guests invited by Lord Abel."
As soon as Plorlik walked to the door of the hotel, he was stopped politely by the hotel staff.
Although the staff member had a smile on his face, his attitude was very firm.
"Okay, I don't need to stop you, because I am the guest invited by Lord Abel."
Plorlik took out the invitation letter from his arms and put it in the staff's hand.
"Yes, the invitation has been confirmed. Lord Plorik, please come in."
After careful verification, the staff member respectfully handed the invitation letter to Plorlik, and then bowed and invited Plorlik to come in.
"Ah."
Plorlik put away the invitation, snorted, and walked in with a swagger.
Not long after they walked, another service staff member appeared, bending over all the way, leading the way in front of Plorlik.
It was a great feeling to feel the respectful gazes from the people around him. Ever since he became the branch director of the Cap Chamber of Commerce, he had been enjoying this distinguished status. This was a feeling he could not experience when he was a traveling merchant.
Not long after, the waiter led her to the door of the most luxuriously decorated private room.
Looking at the door panel made of mahogany, Plorlik waved to the waiter next to him to step back, then he coughed twice, straightened his clothes, and walked in with a confident smile on his face.
This is a rare opportunity. If I can really establish a good relationship with the Abel family, then my future will definitely be bright.
He was originally still worried about cutting off the cash cow of Yas City, but he didn't expect that the opportunity would come again so soon.
"Abelhou, Cap Chamber of Commerce, head of the Sub-Saint Fortress branch, Plorik is invited to come."
As soon as he stepped through the door, Plorlik could see that there was a chair with its back to him, and it was obvious that there was only one person sitting on that chair.
He did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and immediately bowed.
Even though he was the branch director of the Cap Chamber of Commerce, he did not have a title after all, so he had to be respectful when he saw Lord Abel.
"Plorik, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."
A clear and pleasant voice came from the chair.
Hearing this voice, Plorik was slightly stunned.
Why is it a woman?
He didn't remember that the current head of the Abel family was a girl.
Thinking of this, Plorlik moved forward, wanting to see who the person sitting on the chair was.
But when the chair turned around, Plorlik was so scared that he almost fell to the ground.
"Ellie..."
After saying just two words, he covered his mouth, trying hard to hide his surprised expression.
Unfortunately, no matter how he tried to hide it, Elena still saw the look of surprise on his face at that moment.
"Looking at you, it seems that you still remember me. Then can you explain why you said you didn't know me at the dinner yesterday, Plorlik?"
Elena stood up from the chair and slowly walked to Plorlik.
Those sapphire-like eyes seemed to possess the magical power to see through people's hearts. Under these beautiful eyes, Plorlik felt that he had nowhere to hide.
What’s going on? Didn’t the person who invited me be the patriarch of the Abel family, Donald Abel?
How could Lady Elina appear here?
Facing Elina's sharp gaze, Plorlik felt his back soaked with cold sweat, and he inexplicably felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.
That girl in front of him was even more terrifying than Cebol.
"Plorik, answer my questions. Don't be afraid. No one can monitor everything here."
Elina's tone was indifferent, completely lacking the affection she had when she met him before.
It was this cold tone that Plorlik couldn't stand.
He was torn between his conscience and his desires. On one side was Cybor's warning, and on the other side was Elena's threat. What should he do?
Countless thoughts swirled in his mind, but there was no solution that would satisfy both parties.
Under pressure from Elena, Plorik finally chose to tell the truth.
"It's Cybor..."
Plorlik's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
"can not hear!"
Alina raised her voice a little, startling the guy.
"It's General Seiber! General Seiber ordered me not to have any contact with Yas Village, and also warned me that if I have any disputes with Yas Village again, he will not let me off easily, so I..."
Plorlik had originally planned to tell some of the truth and keep some of it secret, but when he thought that he had already told it all, he simply told out everything he knew.
"This Cybor again?"
After hearing the name, Elena frowned slightly. To be honest, she didn't have a very good impression of this person so far.
"According to what you said, have all the supplies in Yas Village been cut off?"
Elina's face was gloomy. In her original plan, the most important part was to establish friendly relations with the Sub-Saint Fortress, and then slowly grow stronger with the support of the Sub-Saint Fortress.
This kind of thing, according to her plan, is almost certain to succeed.
Because when faced with an assistant from outside the domain who may become powerful, the Sub-Saint Fortress has no reason to refuse. It only needs some supplies to have an almost iron-clad ally. Anyone would do such a good thing.
If those refugees and half-bloods outside the domain could be gathered together, it would definitely be a powerful force, powerful enough to reverse the Dawn camp's decline outside the domain in one fell swoop.
But Elina underestimated the resistance of the human race to mixed-races and refugees, especially to big figures like Cyber who were of pure aristocratic origin.
"Lady Elina, I hope you can understand me. I do this for the same reason..."
Plorlik wanted to defend himself, but before he could finish his words, Elena raised her hand to stop him.
"Plorik, there are two paths before you. One is to resume the supply of materials to Yas Village, and the other is to continue to listen to Sebor and go against Yas Village, no, to be more precise, against me. You make your choice now."
Elina stretched out two slender jade fingers and spoke softly.
Looking at the girl in front of him who was as perfect as a porcelain doll, Plorik swallowed subconsciously.
Although Elina's tone was not as murderous as Cyber's, it made him feel a more terrifying pressure.
This kind of pressure can only be experienced by those who are truly at the top.
For a moment, Plorik hesitated.
Because he knew that this choice would determine the rest of his life. If he made the wrong choice, he might not even be qualified to go back to being a traveling merchant.
(I got my computer back today, so I'll see if I can update three times. I've been so exhausted from being in the internet cafe these past few days.)
Chapter 8 Come on, let’s shake each other
"Make your choice now."
Elina's cold voice echoed in the hall, but Plorlik was sweating profusely.
Elina has always treated people with a cheerful look.
Even when facing her mentor Church who had attacked her in the academy, Elena did not show her truly terrifying side.
Because it has always been like this, perhaps many people have forgotten that this girl is a pantheon of all professions among humans.
He is a truly invincible existence in the temple.
Not to mention Plorlik, even a true temple-level powerhouse would feel full of pressure when facing Elina in this state.
Yas Village, this ordinary village has invested too much effort from Elina, and the sisters Leah, whom she cares about most, are also members of this village. This time, Elina was really angry.
Faced with Elina in this state, Plorik was really panicked.
He was constantly calculating in his mind, but he could not see the road ahead clearly.
This choice will determine the fate of his second half of life. If he makes the wrong choice, he may not even be able to save his life, let alone become the branch director.
Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from Plorlik's face, and those beads of sweat fell heavily to the ground, breaking into eight pieces, as if Plorlik's heart also broke into eight pieces at this moment.
What should I do? Who should I choose?
Lord Cyber is the highest commander of the Sub-Saint Fortress area, and he is also a temple-level powerhouse with extraordinary power. Just a few words from him can cause the headquarters of the Cap Chamber of Commerce to issue a ban on him. This kind of influence is definitely not something that ordinary people can possess.
But the young and beautiful Lady Elina in front of me seems to be very difficult to deal with.
Apart from anything else, the invitation letter in his hand can explain a lot of things.
A person who had just arrived in the Yasheng Fortress area was able to make the Abel family serve her, and even the current head of the family came forward directly to invite him.
This kind of energy should not be underestimated.
Moreover, although he was not clear about Elina's specific strength, he could guess that she was at least a temple-level powerhouse because she did not retreat at all after hearing the name of Cyber.
I have to say, he is worthy of being a traveling merchant who has been traveling in dangerous areas for many years.
Surprisingly, even in this situation, Plorlik was still able to remain calm enough to list all the conditions one by one and think carefully.
Forget it, let’s give it a try!
After careful consideration, Plorik raised his head.
"Oh? It seems that it has been decided. Tell me what you decided."
Seeing Plorik's determined eyes, Elina immediately understood that this man had made up his mind.
"Yes, Lady Elina, I have decided..."
Plorik paused in the middle of his words, then gritted his teeth and said:
"I have decided to stand on Lady Elina's side!"
After saying this, all the strength in Plorlik seemed to be drained away, and he slumped in the chair somewhat powerlessly.
Those few minutes just now were truly the most difficult minutes in his life.
But now, when he thought about the revenge he would face from Cyber if he stood on Elena's side, he felt an extraordinary headache.
"Well, that's good, Plorik. You will definitely thank me for this decision in the future."
After hearing Plorik's decision, the frost on Elina's face melted a little.
"But, Lady Elina, although I can continue to deliver supplies without telling Lord Cyber, many things are sent directly to me by the headquarters. Without the headquarters' permission, I have no other options. And Lord Cyber's words before caused the entire Cap Chamber of Commerce to completely cut off orders from Yas Village. As long as the order comes from Yas Village, the Cap Chamber of Commerce will not accept it. There is nothing I can do about this."
After calming down, Plorik stood up shakily, looking helpless. He seemed to be worried about Elena's love rival, so he added one more sentence after he finished speaking.
"Lord Sebol's network of contacts is not ordinary. Lady Elina, you must be careful."
After saying this, Plorik stopped talking.
Many things really are not something that a small fry like him can decide. It is really difficult for him to be caught in the middle of such a contest between big shots.
"Just leave this matter to me. If I remember correctly, the headquarters of your Kapu Chamber of Commerce is in Aiminmaqia."
Elina looked relaxed about the fact that Plorlik had no way to deal with it.
"That's right. Ai Mingma is the largest financial city in the entire human race. The headquarters of several major chambers of commerce and banks are all located there."
Hearing this, Plorik nodded repeatedly.
"That's fine. You can continue to deliver supplies to Yas Village as usual. Leave everything else to me."
"If Seber gives you any trouble, tell him to come to me directly!"
Elina said something and disappeared.
Looking at the empty chair in front of him, Plorik was slightly stunned. He still hadn't gotten used to Elena's mysteriousness.
"I hope I can bet on the right treasure this time."
Plorlik couldn't help but clench his fists. Now that he had decided to stand on the side, he had to do this thing thoroughly.
