Otherworldly Gem Merchant
Chapter 74 Clark's Visit
Augustus was taken aback, as if he didn't expect Clark's butler to come to his door—he really didn't expect that, he didn't even know that someone from Clark had arrived in the City of Plenty.
"Please come in." Even so, Augustus ordered his attendants to invite Clark's butler in.
Yan Xiu sat firmly in his seat from the beginning to the end, and his calm demeanor calmed Augustus, who was a little nervous about facing the enemy, a lot.Augustus clenched his fist secretly, he couldn't show that he was more afraid of his own kind than a human being.
A well-dressed middle-aged man with well-groomed hair came in with the attendants. If he wasn't wearing the same clothes as the attendants, Yan Xiu would even think he saw an elegant nobleman.It's not about dressing up like a nobleman, but possessing an inimitable aristocratic temperament.
"Byron has met Mr. Augustus, the owner of Patriarch Leonard." Butler Clark, who called himself Byron, bowed to Augustus, and only nodded to Na Lian and Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu understood it very well. After all, as the butler of the Clark family, Byron would be happy to salute Augustus, but it was not his and Na Lian's turn.but……
Yan Xiu squinted his eyes. When Byron saluted Augustus, he showed no reluctance, nor did he show any contempt for him or Na Lian.This kind of quality butler is the most difficult to deal with, which shows that Clark can become one of the five major forces with very little water.Not good news for him.
"Long time no see, I wonder how Lord Habakak is doing?" Augustus has made a full gesture since Byron came in. No matter how different the Leonard family is from the Clark family, since he is Leonard's patriarch , you can't bow your head to Byron, let alone show any weakness.
"The Patriarch has been very nice recently, and he is very concerned about His Excellency Augustus." Byron stood there neither humble nor overbearing, and did not waver in the face of Augustus.
Yan Xiu listened to Augustus and Byron laughing and drinking tea silently.
"Thank you Lord Habakak for your concern." Augustus didn't want to be missed by Habakak Clark at all. "Please express my gratitude to Lord Habakak for me."
Byron immediately bent over when he heard Augustus's words, "Your Excellency Augustus can personally express his gratitude to Mr. Habakak."
Augustus was taken aback. Did Habakak come to the city of abundance in person?He didn't think he was qualified to meet Habakak. "you mean……?"
"Master Habakak originally wanted to come in person, but unfortunately there are many affairs in the clan, and Lord Habakak cannot come in person. I am very sorry for this—" Byron expressed his apology, but his words made August With a bad premonition, "Habakak decided to let his best son, Master Sam, come to visit, hoping to get the permission of Lord Augustus."
Augustus froze, of course he had heard of Sam Clark's name.This is Habakak's most proud heir - Habakak has more than 50 heirs, and being able to become the best heir of Habakak among the more than 50 people shows Sam's ability.
"This is wonderful and we are looking forward to Master Sam's arrival."
Even if Augustus is unwilling and doesn't want Sam to come, is this something he says you can't come and not come?If he did that, Habakak would pay him back the next moment.
"I'm very glad to have Master August's permission, and I believe Master Sam will be very happy too." Byron was always smiling, and he was smiling very happily at this moment. "Then, please allow me to say goodbye."
Seeing Byron walking out, Augustus suddenly lost the momentum he had just now.He and Na Lian looked at each other, and they were in big trouble now. They didn't expect the Clark family to come to them so soon, which was much earlier than they expected.
"It's really fast." Na Lian, like Yan Xiu, has been sitting by the side without making a sound. This is Augustus's business, and Byron is also here to visit Augustus. It is impossible for her to intervene .But this did not prevent her from being equally dissatisfied with this matter.
"Much earlier than expected." Augustus was a little annoyed. Clark, a behemoth, was not something they could deal with.
"Sooner or later, we will face each other." Yan Xiu put down his cup with a very indifferent expression, "We have been enemies from the beginning."
"That's what I said..." Nalian didn't deny that what Hughes said was true, but facing Clark, she was not confident that she could properly protect Hughes, and she was not even sure whether she could get out of it unscathed.
Clark, one of the five powers who have stood at the top of the Brandt Continent for so many years, is definitely not easy to deal with.
"They came earlier than expected, which means that something happened that made them anxious." Yan Xiu also felt that Clark came a little early, and even threw out the big card of Sam from the beginning.If nothing happened to the Clark family, Yan Xiu would not believe it. "Rand has only been around for half a year, and they're here."
"It's not like Clark's usual behavior." Augustus also pondered.
Clark is a big family. In theory, even if they would pay attention to Rand, they wouldn't do it so early unless something happened.But what exactly happened?
"Rand is a gem shop. They are in a hurry to find it. Could it be that there is something wrong with the mine?" Nalian came to this conclusion after thinking for a while.And this is simply a very normal conclusion. If there is no problem with the mine, why would Clark come to him so eagerly? After all, Rand is a gem shop, and the only problems that can be related to Rand are gems.
"The production of gemstones in the mainland is decreasing." Yan Xiu remembered hearing the news when he first came to Fangsi Continent.
"Brant's gemstones have always been less, even if they are mined later than other continents, they may stop production earlier than other continents." Augustus said.
Barren Brandt, barren Brandt, Brandt with nothing.
"Then, let's assume that Clark's goal is gems." Yan Xiu looked at Augustus and Na Lian with black eyes, "What are you going to do?"
"..."
The answer to Yan Xiu was silence.
No matter how hard they think, Clark's power is much greater than theirs.Among the remaining twelve vampires, many are attached to Clark.Vampires like infighting is good, but it hurts enough to know what to choose.
At present, Leonard only has two vampires attached to him, and his power is much stronger than half a year ago, but compared with Clark, they are all negligible powers.Augustus's original plan was to accumulate strength for a few years. Among them, Clark would definitely not just watch them develop like this, but his strength would definitely be much greater than it is now.
Clark came so early, but Augustus didn't know what to do.
So is Nalian.
She didn't know how to answer Hughes' question. She used to be just a leader in the West District, but of course not only in the West District now, but she occupies a certain place in Leonard's cities, and this is also a cooperation with Leonard.But to put it bluntly, her strength is not even comparable to Leonard, so how can she compete with Clark?
But anyway, when she cooperated with Hughes, she had thought of the situation like today.She had long been prepared to escape—it wasn't shameful at all, as long as she survived, everything would have a follow-up.It's just that she can't help but worry about whether she can escape from Clark's hands.
"Don't worry too much, let's hear Clark's reason for coming first." Yan Xiu is not particularly nervous, and his life is the most difficult to lose - as long as he is willing to give in.
This was not difficult for Yan Xiu, as early as he was a child, he knew that it might be dignified to be proud, but such things as dignity cannot be eaten.People without money and status have no dignity and are worse than dogs, while people with money and status don't need dignity-because others will naturally respect you.
Of course, being willing to surrender doesn't mean Yan Xiu doesn't hold grudges.
"Augus needs to make some arrangements." Na Lian also followed Hughes' words and changed the subject.No matter how many ways they have come up with now, when they don't know what Clark is going to do, no matter how much they think about it, it may not be useful.
"Hmm." Augustus was glad that this was the City of Plenty, a city under Leonard's sphere of influence, not a city under Clark's sphere of influence.
On the day of Sam Clark's arrival, Yan Xiu and Na Lian were by Augustus' side, and they were fortunate enough to see what a big man is like.He had never seen anything like it, even in the 21st century.It's not that the ostentation in the 21st century isn't big enough or luxurious enough, but that the ostentation in the 21st century doesn't have a special feeling—and now Yan Xiu knows what it's like, it's class.
Sam's carriage is inlaid with many precious gems. The carriage is not made of wood, but a special ore.This kind of ore is very tough, and even a direct attack may not be able to break it. Contrary to its tough texture, its weight is very light.This has resulted in the ore being very popular and expensive.Using this ore to make a carriage shows Clark's financial resources.
Dewey told Yan Xiu about the information about the ore. Thinking of the missing man at this moment, Yan Xiu looked away from the carriage and stopped looking at the carriage.
Standing next to Sam's carriage were circles of personal guards. Yan Xiu could tell at a glance that these personal guards were very powerful, and all of them were handsome, and they were absolutely not crooked.A row of maids and a row of male servants followed the guards. There were servants of all races. Two vampire servants stood at the forefront of all the servants.
When Yan Xiu saw this, he felt that there was no comparison between people. Fortunately, Sam was a vampire.
But if you think that the outermost circle is only for the servants, you lose.
Beside the servant, there are people who are not as well dressed as the servant but also not like a slave. They hold all kinds of weapons in their hands.This made Yan Xiu feel very strange, they held all kinds of knight swords and wands in their hands, and a few even held a two-handed sword or epee.There are many of these people, one after another in an orderly manner.
And at the end of the team, there are slaves in shackles, and there are also all kinds of races.The slaves of other races are slaves, and the slaves of vampires are their food.
"..." Yan Xiu originally wanted to say something, but he gave up after seeing Augustus's complexion.
It must be very uncomfortable for Augustus to be bigger than Augustus on Augustus' territory and in the city of abundance.What's more, Augustus couldn't help but come to meet this man——Sam Clark.
The convoy didn't stop until it was in front of Augustus, and Sam Clark hadn't gotten off the carriage. It wasn't until the convoy had come to a complete stop that Yan Xiu saw a guard knocking on the door of the carriage with sharp eyes.
A man with platinum blonde hair got off the carriage, his elegant figure was light and beautiful.He has light-colored smiling eyes.When he stood in front of Augustus, Yan Xiu was surprised to find that the anger on Augustus seemed to subtly dissipate a lot.
"Hello, Your Excellency Augustus." Sam Clark's voice was pleasant, gentle as a trickle of water, with a hint of warmth, unlike other vampires who always have a cold tone.
"Hello, Master Sam." Augustus also had a gentle expression, but seemed a little stiff.
Yan Xiu didn't know what was wrong with Augustus, but he knew something was wrong with Augustus.Just now, I saw that Sam was still feeling unhappy during this battle, but now he seems to have recovered?
Yan Xiu took a step back and glanced at Na Lian who was also standing beside her.He found that Na Lian was also standing stiffly in place, her body was not moving, and the smile on her face was also a little stiff.
What exactly is going on?
"It's a great honor to have your permission for my visit." Sam stood in front of Augustus, not even taller than Augustus, but it gave people the illusion that he was the master of the city of abundance.
Yan Xiu knew that it was because of Augustus's overwhelming momentum that people had such an illusion.That's too bad.
"No, it's our honor to have you here." Augustus didn't know what was going on with him either.He knew very well that there was nothing wrong with him, but he saw that Sam didn't want to be defensive. The biggest thing was wrong.Sam was their enemy, not their friend.
"It took you so long to come here, you must have worked hard. Why don't you take a good rest?"
When Augustus said the words, his intestines were green with regret. He just saw that Sam seemed a little tired and couldn't help himself to say these words.
This startled him.
"Thank you very much for your hospitality. Although this is a bit impolite, I am indeed a little tired after a long journey. Fortunately, Mr. Augustus is thoughtful." Sam was led by Augustus to walk in while talking. His smile is easy to like, and Augustus is naturally one of them.
"It would be great if you are satisfied." Augustus said dryly, he didn't want to say anything that he regretted.
"You're very kind." Sam was led into the room by Augustus, his eyes stayed on Yan Xiu behind Augustus for a while, and then moved away.
Yan Xiu felt Sam's gaze, but he didn't raise his eyes, let alone meet Sam's gaze.
He wanted to know, what happened to Augustus and Nalian?
The author has something to say: I said to myself, if the code is less than 4000 characters, I will add more, and then I have coded to 4000 characters...
"Please come in." Even so, Augustus ordered his attendants to invite Clark's butler in.
