"Sir, sir, I'm very sorry..."
Half an hour later, the train conductor came to Chen Xing and Cuilisi, with cold sweat on his fat face, and hesitantly said, "What our boss means is that the round-the-world train is the company's symbol, and no, we don't intend to sell it." …”
Chen Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light blooming in his eyes.
"Sir, sir, I, I'm just a part-time worker. No, I don't have the right to make decisions..." The train conductor was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly. If the train car hadn't been too narrow and he hit the car, his butt would have been shattered.
"Does it mean Fox Train Company or Silver Knight?" Chen Xing asked lightly.
"Yes, yes..." The train conductor held it in for a long time, and finally gave up as if resigned to his fate. He nodded and said, "It's the chairman's wish."
"That's right..." Chen Xing muttered, looking thoughtful.
Although the train conductor did not make it very clear, he had revealed the most critical information. Fox Train is a corporate organization, and the highest position is the chairman, while Silver Knight is a guild organization, and the highest position is naturally the "president."
The Prime Minister of the Red Kingdom and the Queen of the Ice Blue City arrived and asked to purchase the round-trip train. The chairman of the Fox Train Company would not dare to refuse. This was beyond the control of a private company and he would definitely report it to the big boss behind it.
The Silver Knights Guild is a semi-closed and semi-public organization, half exposed to the outside and half hidden underground. They are usually low-key and mysterious, but when encountering major world events, they will inevitably be there.
The Silver Knights existed in the Middle Ages before the Cataclysm and have a history of thousands of years. They are composed of aristocratic groups in the Western Continent. In their most powerful era, they could even rival the Holy Light Church.
Although the power is not as powerful as before, it still plays a decisive role in the red earth world.
The president of the Silver Knights is a king-level strongman, and the Yuling Legion is the phantom legion ranked fifth on Lumsden's legion rankings.
It is higher than the sixth-ranked Succubus Legion, so they are very confident and will not give in just because Trilis appears.
"Hmph, don't be ashamed, let's get it ourselves!"
Without saying a word, Cuilisi was about to grab it, but Chen Xing quickly stopped her. The civil war was still going on, and it would be detrimental to the situation to rashly become enemies with a supreme powerhouse.
Since the other party won't give face, we can only discuss it in the long term. However, Cuillis didn't show a good face when she left. She lifted the roof of the car on the spot and flew away into the sky.
The two of them did not return to Neuss, but flew directly back to the Ice Blue City Palace. Although I live well in Neuss, just like my own home, I am still not the owner here, and I am not as free as I am in Ice Blue City.
The next few days passed peacefully and leisurely. Chen Xing stayed in the office every day, reading the information on the Silver Knights Guild, trying to find a breakthrough to solve the problem.
However, before a breakthrough was found, a male noble who called himself the Silver Knight came to the door.
"I am the Ninth Silver Knight Reis Funk. Nice to meet you, Mr. Prime Minister."
Les Funk nodded and saluted. Although the etiquette was in place, his back was very straight, probably because he felt that he and the Prime Minister of the Red Kingdom were on an equal footing.
"Please take a seat."
After all, they were from different organizations and represented equal dialogue. Chen Xing was originally a low-level mercenary and was not that particular, so he immediately invited the other party to sit down.
After sitting down, Les Funk explained his purpose.
"I heard that your Excellency wants to acquire the Circular Train. That's why I'm here."
"If you can investigate one thing for us, we will agree to your acquisition." Reis Fink made the conditions.
"What are you investigating?" Chen Xing frowned slightly. He didn't know why, but he had a bad feeling.
"I heard that your Excellency was born in the Northern Wilderness and has a high prestige there. He established the Hanged Skull Alliance of three towns."
"A few years ago, when one of our knights was exploring the northern wilderness, they were suddenly attacked by an unknown woman. They suffered heavy casualties and the loot was also taken away."
"If you can find out the real culprit, we are willing to cooperate with you in the acquisition."
Before Les Funk finished speaking, Chen Xing's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't what the other party was talking about about the Dark Demon Crystal Core back then?
The one who attacked the Silver Knight was Aaliyah!
It seemed that as long as he betrayed that stinky woman, he would immediately get an infinite steam engine, but Chen Xing refused without much hesitation.
Even if they have conflicts, they are conflicts within their own family, and it is not the turn of outsiders to intervene.
"I haven't been back for a long time. I don't even know what happened now, let alone what happened a few years ago."
"If you have any clues, you can contact me at any time." Les Fink left a business card and left without saying any more nonsense.
After the Silver Knight's people left, Chen Xing looked at the oil paintings on the wall and slowly narrowed his eyes.
It seems that the other party already knows the identity of the attacker, but lacks a sufficient identification.
Even if the other party finds evidence, it can't change anything. At most, it can just condemn it in public opinion and strive for some benefits and compensation.
But Chen Xing knew very well who was his enemy and who was his friend. He and Aaliyah can fight behind closed doors, but when they meet an outsider like the Silver Knight, they must always be on the same page.
One day is a hundred days of kindness to a husband and wife, and this fire demon's first blood is not free, let alone not just one day, but many days.
Judging from the attitude of the Silver Knights Guild, the matter of the infinite steam engine can only be put aside for now. Without some blood, it is difficult to get benefits from them.
However, in a while, the annual Valhalla Feast will be held. That is the top trade fair in the clay world. You can try your luck there and maybe you can find something similar.
Chen Xing put away the information on the desktop, and his black watch suddenly prompted an incoming email.
When I opened the screen, I saw that it was from Bai Yefenghua.
[The enemy has been moving frequently recently and may start a war at any time]
It seems that Tianqin's defeat has dealt a heavy blow to the Eastern Conference, and a victory is needed to restore morale.
Chen Xing thought for a while and replied, "Keep communicating and report at any time."
Although Bai Yefenghua can be relied on, as the supreme commander, he must hold on to control. Now he is increasingly uncertain about Bai Ye Fenghua's acting style. Sometimes he is very decent, but sometimes he is ruthless and unscrupulous. He is a completely two-faced person, half angel and half devil.
Then he received another message, this time from the Heqiao Research Institute.
[The new version of SCAR has been designed and can be put into production]
On the surface, they are reporting progress, but in fact they are here to ask for money. But it is also reasonable. After the new version of scar is mass-produced, it can be assembled for Bai Ye Liufang's combat guard team.
Then Chen Xing dialed Guihu's communication and asked her to allocate 10 million gold coins to the Heque Principality.
As soon as the afternoon comes, there will be a lot of things going on. Chen Xing had just closed the communication, and the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Foreign Affairs came to visit again. One wanted to recommend new people to Chen Xing, and the other wanted to discuss diplomatic issues with the ten city-states.
Chen Xing nodded and split into two clones to deal with the two ministers, while he opened the group photo website to see what was new.
