I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 164 The Princess Arrives

It was not only Ai Youqian's fast transport caravan that returned to Paradise City, but another group of people also came to Paradise City.

"Didn't I ask you not to ship the goods for the time being and only let a few people take a look first?"

Ai Youqian's expression was no longer gentle, but now took on a stern look.

The captain of the transport team lowered his head with an ugly expression on his face: "I'm sorry, boss... I don't know who spread the news."

Ai Youqian rubbed his temples: "It's just them..."

Ai Youqian's chamber of commerce is truly top-notch in the imperial capital. Otherwise, he would not be known as the largest businessman in the imperial capital.

However, the identity of the person who came to Paradise City this time was somewhat special.

He is from the Baiye Chamber of Commerce.

The Baiye Chamber of Commerce ranks second in the imperial capital. Although it is suppressed by Ai Youqian's Chamber of Commerce, it is equally powerful.

What troubles Ai Youqian the most is that the success of Baiye Chamber of Commerce is not the greatness of its founder, but its background.

Behind the Baiye Chamber of Commerce stood people from the royal family.

At the beginning, in order to attract all kinds of big businessmen to take root in the imperial capital, His Majesty the Emperor personally promulgated various decrees, all of which were beneficial to businessmen. One of them was that the royal chamber of commerce was only responsible for the most basic aspects of people's livelihood and would not participate in it. Go into other businesses.

That being said, as time went by and the imperial capital became increasingly prosperous, those laws began to loosen slightly.

Originally, most merchants didn't care. They had been rooted in the imperial capital for a long time. Although they were not controlled by the royal family, they paid a lot of taxes every year.

It can be said that the great merchants of the imperial capital and the entire imperial capital both prospered and suffered losses.

It is not easy for the royal chamber of commerce to step in and get a share of the pie.

Who would have thought that the royal family directly and secretly supported a chamber of commerce. It was not until Bai Ye took the second position in the Chamber of Commerce in the God City that some of the relationships began to be revealed.

More importantly, there are rumors that Baiye Chamber of Commerce is in the hands of the imperial princess Bai Ye.

It is impossible for this princess to inherit the throne, but she is talented and intelligent and deeply loved by His Majesty the Emperor. If those princes want to compete for the throne, it is inevitable to win over Bai Ye.

This directly led to the Baiye Chamber of Commerce's status becoming somewhat transcendent.

Now, the news must have been leaked that the toxin of the big crack can replace the catalyst. The White Night Chamber of Commerce came to Paradise City, obviously wanting to contact the [Golden Ghost] so as to steal this business.

The imperial royal family... Ai Youqian knew very well who Sean was. It was impossible for him to turn against the imperial royal family for the sake of his own chamber of commerce, let alone to stand firmly on his side just because of a verbal agreement.

Ai Youqian is a businessman, but he knows that Sean is not.

He is a fun-loving person who only sees benefits...

Today, the relationship between supply and demand has not yet been established. Changing the middleman to an individual will not cause any loss, as long as the conditions offered by the other party are sufficient.

"Shawn shouldn't be so... cheerful, right?" Ai Huaqian was also dumbfounded. The gift he was planning to please Sean hadn't been delivered yet, but the business-stealer came first.

"It depends on what the Baiye Chamber of Commerce does..." Ai Youqian pressed the bridge of his nose, "In recent years, it is not uncommon for Baiye to secretly suppress us with the help of the royal family. This is what I am planning to do with Paradise City. Good and important reasons.”

His face turned livid: "Why did it happen to be revealed to the Baiye Chamber of Commerce... Damn it, don't let me catch you."

……

However, what surprised Ai Youqian and his son was that after the Baiye Caravan arrived in Paradise City, they did not find Sean immediately.

Like the most ordinary wasteland merchants, they temporarily settled in the trading area while searching for special products worth buying and selling in the city.

Ai Youqian, who was worried that Baiye Chamber of Commerce and Sean had secretly contacted each other, finally decided to let Ai Huaqian go find out. Surprisingly, Sean didn't seem to have any idea.

Just when Ai Huaqian was secretly happy, thinking that this was just a coincidence, the two parties unexpectedly met.

"Master Ai..." Everyone in the Baiye Chamber of Commerce was wearing short crescent-white combat uniforms, and in the white, the man with a full moon and three small suns embroidered on his chest recognized the oncoming person.

Ai Huaqian's eyebrows twitched twice.

How come we happened to meet each other not long after we left home...

Seeing Sean's questioning look, even though he was reluctant, Ai Huagan could only explain honestly:

"Brother, haven't I offended many people in the Imperial City before? This guy is one of them... The Imperial Mecha Fighting Gym I told you last time, he is the largest shareholder, named Gregory."

"Gregory looks young, but he is actually over fifty. His whole body has been mechanically transformed..."

"He He……"

Aihuagan hesitated for a moment, but finally told the origin of the other party: "Gregory has royal connections..."

Surprisingly, he found that Sean didn't show any surprise at all.

It seems that the royal family of the empire is just a name.

Across from him, Gregory smiled.

"Master Ai, I asked you why I haven't seen you in the imperial capital for a long time. So you came here for vacation and leisure?" Gregory didn't look arrogant. On the contrary, he was very enthusiastic, "You are in the mecha hall. My mecha has won five games in a row, and the prize pool can be quite large."

Ai Hua laughed dryly: "Isn't this why I went out for something, and then I happened to find a nice place to relax."

"I see..."

Gregory felt strange in his heart. He knew very well what Ai Hua was doing. He had to wear a breathing mask when going out in this damn place. Why did he come here to relax?

Aren't you afraid of your heart stopping?

Gregory, who knew there was something strange in it, did not ask further questions. Instead, he took off his hat to Ai Huagan and said with a smile:

"Then I won't disturb Master Ai to relax. When you return to the imperial capital, you will definitely find me and I will be your host."

Aihua smiled dryly: "Definitely, definitely."

You kid must be thinking of causing trouble, right?

The two of them have their own hidden agendas, but on the surface they are polite.

After returning to the hotel, Gregory walked up to the heavily guarded second floor. He bent down and gently knocked on the door of the innermost bedroom.

"Come in." The woman's majestic voice sounded.

Gregory walked in with his head lowered, and he said: "Miss..., my subordinates have just gone out to investigate, and have not found what you described yet. However, we met Ai Huagan."

"Oh? Aihua Qian has been away from the imperial capital for a long time, and he actually came here?"

Having said that, the woman didn't look surprised.

Gregory lowered his head: "Yes, there may be something fishy in this."

The woman pondered for a moment: "Ignore Ai Huagan for now and complete the task first."

"Yes, ma'am."

When Grigory left, the serious-looking woman sitting by the window showed a slight sadness.

And she is none other than the imperial princess, Bai Ye.
