Chapter 28: When it comes to making empty promises, I, Thor, am a professional
"Like I could buy five hundred pounds of that stuff."
Thor's voice sounded, his expression still calm, even if he felt Lajos Assad's murderous intention, he didn't care at all.
He is just an unpopular son of Assad, and the threat to him is almost non-existent.
Of course, what's more important is that Thor believes that the other party will not act rashly.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
The moment Thor's words fell, Lajos Assad's body suddenly shook.
"What did you say?"
The words couldn't help but blurt out, with an expression of disbelief.
"Your Excellency Lajos should know very well what I said."
"Isn't it?!"
With the smile still on his face, Thor looked at Lajos Assad.
"Are you telling the truth?"
After taking a deep breath to calm down his ups and downs, Lajos Assad asked again.
"Here are fifty gold coins!"
"It's a deposit!"
Thor was more direct, taking out fifty gold coins from his arms and placing them in front of his eyes.
Looking at the fifty gold coins, Lajos Assad could not help but breathe heavily.
There are various expressions on the face that are constantly changing.
He was struggling and hesitating.
Five hundred gold coins is indeed tempting enough.
Even if the other party was not a member of the Dressrosa family, he might have agreed at this moment.
But the other party was a member of the Dressrosa family. Lajos Assad could not be sure of the authenticity of the other party's words and did not dare to believe them.
If the other party was just trying to lure him into taking action, once exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Not for sale.
The members of the Dressrosa family in front of them already knew this.
And this was five hundred gold coins, so he was really confused.
Seemingly seeing Lajos Assad's confusion, Thor chuckled, and his expression immediately became solemn.
"Your Excellency Lajos, if I understand you well, you are not valued by the family. Even your coming-of-age ceremony is just a small shop in Loren City. Your Excellency Lajos, do you really want to stay forever?" Are you in this store?"
The long voice sounded, and Lajos Assad's troubled expression was suddenly brought back.
He frowned as he listened to Thor's words.
"What do you mean?"
Lajos Assad looked a little ugly. In his opinion, the words of this member of the Dressrosa family were obviously meant to humiliate him.
At this moment, his tone became a little stiff.
"No, no, Lord Lajos, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. What I mean is that we can cooperate."
Thor waved his hand, looked at Lajos, and spoke slowly.
"cooperate?"
Lajos's heart moved when he heard this term.
"Yes, cooperate. I, Tordressrosa, am building the territory. As you know, the construction of the territory requires a lot of materials, and the damn Habs Chamber of Commerce is simply a vampire. They actually use ten times the market price to go Making money from my poor gold coins is simply a blasphemy to the goddess of life!”
Thor nodded and spoke with an indignant tone.
Hearing Thor's indignant words, Lajos Assad's mouth twitched.
"Your Excellency Thor, indeed, they are blaspheming the goddess of life, but I have to remind you that the entire Northland Province belongs to Marquis Lehman, and the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce belongs to Marquis Lehman. Not to mention, Mr. Thor, you and I know, not even our family can compare with a marquis."
Lajos Assad spoke with a wry smile and a sigh in his expression.
"No, no, Lord Lajos, you have misunderstood again. I never said that I would compete with the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce. Your friend Tordress Rosa needs something. As a friend, you give some away, and I In order to express my gratitude, I gave my friend some gold coins. It seems like this is a normal interaction between friends, doesn’t it? "
"Just like this time, my friend Mr. Lajos gave me some treasured life essence as a gift. I gave my friend fifty gold coins. As long as we don't engage in slave trading, I believe the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce doesn't care. "
Thor chuckled and spoke.
And listening to his words, Lajos naturally understood the words.
There was a hint of mockery in his expression.
"Sir Thor, you are really smart. You asked me to help you smuggle, but you don't have to bear anything. Once discovered, even if you are convicted, only I will be convicted, not you."
"Sorry, I, Lajos, am not interested in such cooperation."
"Ram, send Sir Thor off."
When the voice spoke, Lajos stood up again, ready to end this meeting.
"Goodbye, Lord Lajos."
Thor smiled and shook his head, and turned around, but as if he thought of something, he stopped and spoke again.
"correct"
"Lord Lajos, there is one thing you may not know. I, Tordressrosa, is the ninth son of Engeldressrosa. I am honored that I have been valued by my father, who has given me the gift of love. With one grand knight, fifty official knights, and hundreds of trainee knights, I think I should have no problem with the next assessment in the kingdom.”
"I originally thought that Lord Lajos would be happy to cooperate with a baron. It seems that Lord Lajos doesn't care. That was my presumption. Goodbye."
After finishing speaking, his figure turned around again without any hesitation.
"What?"
Lajos' pupils shrank in shock at the words again.
A great knight, fifty official knights, and hundreds of apprentice knights, he naturally understood what it meant.
"Sir Thor, stop."
The words started quickly.
"If Sir Lajos doesn't believe it, you can go to Eagle Ridge at any time."
Thor turned his head, still smiling, and his expression was extremely confident.
Looking at Thor's confident expression, Lajos' heart was constantly shaking.
There was disbelief, suspicion, and some envy and jealousy.
That's right, it was envy and jealousy.
Think about your own situation, and then look at the young knight in front of you.
Envy and jealousy just spread out.
But it was only for a moment.
Soon these emotions were suppressed by him.
He knew very well what he needed.
This was also the main reason why he took the risk of smuggling.
At this moment, he would not let his emotions completely override his thinking.
"Huh!"
A breath of turbid air was slowly exhaled, and Lajos calmed down himself.
A smile appeared on his face again.
"You are right, Lord Thor, my friend!"
"This is just a gift from a friend. The "Life Essence" you need can be delivered tomorrow. I wonder where it is?"
When he spoke, he was no longer stiff and unfamiliar, but very kind, as if he was really an old friend who had not seen each other for many years.
"Thank you, my friend. I think the Maple Leaf Territory, fifty miles outside Loren City, is a good place."
Listening to Lajos' words, Thor couldn't help but feel relieved, and a smile also appeared on his face.
"It is indeed a good place!"
"How about the dusk!"
"Of course, my friend."
