Huh? Are they all real?...

Seeing the king's gaze sweep over them, the three families knelt down in fear once more:

"Your Majesty, we are honest merchants!"

The Western merchants were completely terrified.

He was genuinely afraid of being implicated and suspected as well.

After all, the Western merchants and the Northern merchants used to have the best relationship.

"I just want to tell you one thing."

The three tentatively asked:

"What did you want to say?"

Moen said calmly:

"Northern Business Alliance has been expelled!"

These words stunned the president of the Northern Chamber of Commerce, and the other three were in much the same boat.

None of them expected that the King's verdict would be to directly expel the entire Northern Business Federation.

The Beijing Business Association is still around, but once that statement was made, it was as good as dead.

The three of them suddenly felt a bit thirsty.

This is asking them to take action?!

At this point, Benalana stepped forward again, raising her hand tremblingly and saying:

"Your Majesty, we... we, the Eastern Commercial Union, have always been just an ordinary commercial organization. We will not..."

"Don't worry, I'm just telling you this."

Before Benalana could continue, Moen interrupted her.

"Also, remember to stay at the palace afterwards. I need to discuss the pets with you!"

Looking at the Sword and Shield King who was smiling lightly in front of him.

The young girl learned for the first time what a king truly was.

A business empire almost the same size as their own was completely destroyed in just a few words.

After swallowing hard, the girl bowed slightly and said:

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty the Sword and Shield King!"

"Go down."

The royal knights entered and took away the three men, also dragging away the despondent president of the Northern Merchants Association.

And after they left.

News of what had just happened spread rapidly throughout the world.

In every corner of the world, countless spirit messengers, through communication and prayer, relay a message back and forth.

Northern Business Federation has been removed from the list!

Although they are still here now, they will be gone soon.

Their branches in various locations were almost simultaneously forced to close by the local authorities.

Then he smiled at the people inside and said:

"The king said, you are expelled!"

Upon returning to the throne, Moen did not immediately summon the next group of messengers.

Because the goddess stopped everything.

The messengers outside were once again left to wait, but they were happy to wait.

Because they are waiting for good news from their own family.

The Northern Business School is a lucrative target.

And on the throne.

Ansa, who had brought a brand new pair of riding boots, was kneeling in front of Moen and taking off his soiled shoes.

When Moen changed into his new riding boots.

The Northern Business Federation has indeed been removed from the list.

Chapter 163 The Dog of Daydreams (5k)

To the southeast of Baratheon Palace is a small palace covered with mirrors of various colors.

Construction began during the reign of Baratheon's ninth monarch, starting when he ascended the throne, and was not officially completed until the day after his death.

Because the power of the Baratheon royal family also began to decline during that period.

Therefore, this palace, known as the Mirror Palace, was tabooed by the Baratheon royal family.

Not only are members of the royal family rarely here, but it was also nearly demolished several times.

However, due to the decline of imperial power, they were unable to even demolish the Mirror Palace.

Today, Moen specially invited Miss Benalana to this place.

One reason is that the scenery here is nice, and the other is to tell people that there is no need to be superstitious about this mirror palace.

However, as soon as he came in, Moen suddenly felt that perhaps there was some truth to the rumors.

Because of a design flaw, Moen saw his reflection in countless mirrors of varying sizes as soon as he entered the room.

Add to that the bizarre angle the designer placed it at.

Moen's shadow was not fully reflected; instead, different parts of his body were reflected separately on different mirrors in different locations.

This looks exactly like an unlucky player who accidentally chose the wrong option, resulting in not only all their previous efforts being wasted but also being dismembered by a machete.

With just one glance, Moen knew that it was perfectly reasonable for people to be wary of this place.

What kind of genius designer could come up with such a design?

Or does he genuinely find this pieced-together 'reflection' to be highly artistic?

Because so many years have passed, Moen doesn't know what the original designer was thinking.

However, Moen really wanted to dig him out of his grave and ask him if he had a screw loose.

But having come this far, a dignified king like myself cannot simply slink away to another place for such a reason.

That would be too embarrassing.

So Moen ignored everything and went inside.

But the further they went in, the more Moen wanted to curse out that genius designer.

Because he is the king, he rightfully occupies the main position. Therefore, while everyone else is reflected completely in the mirror, he alone is fragmented across different mirrors.

After the royal knights outside closed the door.

Bella, who had been quietly following Miss Benalana, suddenly spoke up:

"The designer of this palace not only had unique insights into architecture, but he also had a very high level of mathematical talent."

"Otherwise, an ordinary person could not design such an exquisite building."

"Through his efforts, the palace used all its unique features to highlight its owner, the one who was destined to walk at the center."

That's very well said. This designer is undoubtedly a genius, but he's also an absolute idiot with incredibly low emotional intelligence.

Furthermore, the voice was very soft, even reminding Moen of Aurora, the woman who embodied allure.

But it sounds like a dog.

Following the sound, Miss Benalana was already standing behind Bella.

The roles of master and servant seem to have been reversed.

Seeing Moen's gaze sweep over, Bella said seriously:

"You don't mind if I sit on top, do you?"

Moen reached out his hand and said:

"Of course, after all, the purpose of this trip is to entertain you."

After a brief pause, Moen added:

"The true owners of the Eastern Business Alliance."

Without a doubt, in that room of the Eastern Business Union, all the golden retrievers in the portraits on the wall are the same one standing before you.

No wonder Miss Benalana would constantly stroke the golden retriever whenever she discussed important matters with her.

At first, Moen thought it was because the matter was too serious and she was seeking comfort from her pet, but now it seems that it was simply because she couldn't make the decision and was asking Bella for her opinion.

Ah, thinking about it that way, for some less important things that Miss Benalana was indeed hesitating about, she would make a decision after Bella called her name twice.

That's really a twisted sense of humor.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

"And also, you are wrong, Great Sword and Shield King, I am not the master of the Eastern Business Union, I am just a dog."

"Benalana respects me only because I took care of her since she was a child, and of course, the same goes for everyone else. After all, I'm the one who lived the longest in this family."

Looking at the golden retriever talking fluently in front of him.

Moen felt a little uneasy; even he, who was used to all sorts of outrageous scenes, had never seen anything like this before.

When Moen first saw this very intelligent pet dog, he wondered if it had been given a magic potion by the young lady and possessed a not-so-low sequence.

But Moen never expected things to turn out this way.

The dog is actually the owner.

Moen nodded with a subtle expression, and was about to speak when Bella continued:

“You’re right, I almost guessed everything. You truly surprise me from the bottom of my heart, Your Majesty.”

Obviously, because of his own special status and Moen's actions.

Bella, the golden retriever, is currently the first and only person to directly guess Moen's identity.

Saints, Trajan, the Eternal King—any identity that Moen has ever revealed as the 'authentic' is now exposed to it.

After all, in the beginning, Moen never thought of guarding against a dog.

I clearly remember reading in a well-known book back in my hometown that warned me to be careful of the dog next to the young lady.

However, compared to Moen's helplessness...

Bella was deeply shocked.

It was the first time it had seen someone actually challenge the original ironclad law.

Eternal King, Sword and Shield King, Shadow Sun.

One man, three kings.

How terrifying!

And that's only what it knows.

So Bella said it again:

"I am surprised to the point of fear, Your Majesty."

Moen gave a wry smile to indicate his understanding.

Then Moen's gaze swept over Benarana.

Noticing this, Bella spoke up directly:

“She doesn’t know, Your Majesty, that the secrets you hold are not something an ordinary person should know, so she is completely unaware of them.”

"She wholeheartedly believes in everything you've arranged, Your Majesty. Your operation is exquisite. If I weren't exceptionally special, no one would have discovered this."

"Also, there's no need to worry about her hearing it and reacting."
