Chapter 425 Suppression of Noble Businessmen
No matter whether they were pretending to be poor or pretending to be poor, all the nobles and big businessmen present began to cry (act) poor (act) hard.Many aristocrats even shed tears directly, completely lacking the attitude of being a winner in life just now on the dance floor.

Powell couldn't stand it anymore, and said to the viscount who was crying the hardest in the crowd:
"Viscount Fox (Fox), don't cry about being poor. You just spent a few thousand gold coins on the purchase of 'Romit's Tears' (the famous gemstone) the day before yesterday."

The fox viscount cried even more sadly: "My wife is terminally ill, and her only wish in life is to get it."

"Shut up!" Sean on the chief seat was impatient, and interrupted the crying poor nobles roughly:
"Don't cry, it's useless to me! If this war is not won, the entire Port of Kapoor will be gone! Are you still thinking about your own money?

Tell you, if you don't want to pay, then the whole family will go to jail! "

After Xiao En finished speaking, he slammed the red wine glass in his hand on the ground, and then walked towards the outside of Eagle Castle without looking back.

The guests present did not expect Sean to be so merciless, and he was completely different from the kind Sean at the dinner party 4 days ago.

The atmosphere couldn't help but stagnate.

Of course, Sean's "throwing the cup" was not because he was angry. In fact, it was part of the plan.

After the "bad face" Sean left, Powell, the "red face" came out quickly.

"Calm down, everyone, and listen to me!
His Highness Sean’s words were a bit harsh, but he was also thinking about our Kapur Port!Think about it, if Port Capul falls and the Anjou navy and the gang of bandits from Rhode Island rush in to burn, kill, and plunder, who of you here will be able to survive?

So we must work together to deal with foreign enemies together! "

"What you said makes sense!" The nobles and big businessmen present all echoed.

But they only agree on the surface, but they don't think so in their hearts.

The money our family earns is based on our ability, so why should we donate it to the Principality for free?
Besides, even if Port Kapur is destroyed, I can always go to another city without affecting our prosperity.

Port Kapoor is just a place to make money. Whether we live or die has something to do with us?
Of course, they only dared to think about these words in their hearts, but they dared not say them out.

Earl Powell looked at the faces of the people, and quickly understood their thoughts, and said solemnly:
"Before the dinner, His Highness Sean told me that if any of you want to escape to other cities or even the Kingdom of Anjou, His Highness will definitely settle the score until death!
So I think everyone should honestly spend money to tide over the difficulties!After we get over the storm, let's think about making money again. "

"After the fall, settle accounts?"

"Perpetually dying?"

The nobles and big businessmen present were a little scared. His Royal Highness Xiao En's subordinates had 5 sky-level combat powers. If they really wanted to "endless", even if they fled to the King of Anjou, they would not be very safe.

However, wanting these nobles and big businessmen to pay for free is more uncomfortable than killing them, so they started to form a team again, crying for poverty, and began the final struggle:

"Master Powell, our family has no working capital! Forced donations will break the chain of funds." A luxuriously dressed Viscount had a reluctance on his face.

"It's okay, His Highness Sean said that you can donate your fixed property, we don't mind it." Powell smiled.

The viscount: "."

Another little noble said: "Master Powell, our family doesn't have much property, I don't think we can hand over anything valuable."

Powell looked at the little nobleman who was speaking. This little nobleman was a slave trader and had done a lot of dirty deals in private.Moreover, their family's property was illegally transferred to the Kingdom of Anjou, so they really couldn't get much money.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have money," Powell waved his hand, "Viscount Quail, just let your bronze and silver-ranked powerhouses go to the battlefield.

"But there are no strong people in our family, only my father is of silver rank." Viscount Quail was still not very cooperative.

"Then I can't help it." Powell spread his hands: "Then do as His Royal Highness Xiao En said, confiscate all your family's property, and go to jail... Come on!"

The two gold-ranked fighters following Powell immediately stood up: "My lord."

"Send this Viscount Quail to the prison to calm down."

"Understood, my lord."

The two gold rank powerhouses walked towards Viscount Quail fiercely.

"How dare you arrest me? I am the Viscount of the Principality!" The Viscount Quail turned pale with fright. He never expected that Powell would immediately order his men to arrest him.

Powell said coldly: "Port Kapur is almost gone, who cares whether you are a viscount or not? Catch him!"

The two strong men picked up the Quail Viscount, lifted it up like a chicken, and walked towards the door.

When the other nobles saw this scene, they all shivered. Powell seemed to be playing for real!
Viscount Quail, who was caught in the air, struggled angrily, cursing.The two gold rank fighters punched him one by one, and Viscount Quail was silent again.

When Viscount Quail was led out of the yard by two gold-ranked powerhouses, Powell took a sip of the red wine in his hand and raised his glass to greet everyone: "According to His Royal Highness Sean, all the property of this Viscount will be confiscated. Is there any objection?" ?”

The nobles present recovered from their stupefaction and shook their heads one after another:
"of course not!"

"How is it possible? We are the most patriotic!"

"This kind of person who has no regard for the overall situation deserves it!"

"We are happy to contribute our part to the Principality!"

"With Port Kapoor gone, our family will naturally be gone too. I can still tell the difference!"

The nobles and big businessmen in the audience condemned Viscount Quail, and everyone expressed their strong willingness to donate.

After a while, Powell pressed his hand and said to everyone:

"Alright then, now let me discuss the details of how much gold coins each family donates and how many people will contribute. Before that, we need to meet someone first."

After Powell finished speaking, he turned and looked at Eagle Fort behind him.

In Eagle Fort, a young man came out slowly.

This man has blond hair, is very handsome, wears a light blue priest costume, and drags a gleaming disc of unknown material in his hand.

Powell introduced to all the nobles: "This is Lord Anduin, the consul of His Royal Highness Sean's territory. Now it's up to him to judge how much each family needs to contribute!"

The noble merchants around did not believe it:
"He is the consul of His Royal Highness Sean? Mr. Powell, don't you lie to me?"

"How is it possible, this one is too young?"

"That's right, it's a little younger than my son. How could we listen to a kid? Mr. Powell, let's negotiate and settle it slowly?"
