"Mr. Lynch, we have been waiting for a long time. Please come in." although the president of the chamber of Commerce didn't look very good, he made an invitation.

Lynch looked around slowly. He took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and took one in his mouth.

With a "Chi" sound, his assistant struck a match, covered it with one hand and came close to Lynch.

Under the soft light, Lynch's face was covered with a layer of red light under the light of the match. The light came quickly and covered the light of the bulb in an instant.

He took two random breaths and spit out a puff of smoke, "I'm not a gavra..."

The president turned his head and looked at the sign, then became angry, "who put this thing here and didn't take it away?"

Then he went straight down the steps and stood in front of Lynch. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lynch, our work seems to have made some mistakes. I apologize for this."

"But please believe that this is definitely not our deliberate behavior..."

The president walked down the steps, and others were not suitable to stand on the steps, even if the steps were not very high.

From looking down, to peacetime, and now being looked down by others, the emotional changes of these businessmen are particularly interesting.

"I also believe it must be a misunderstanding!" Lynch reached out and shook hands with the president of the chamber of Commerce. After two words with each other, under the leadership of the president of the chamber of Commerce, Lynch finally stepped up the steps.

In people's unspeakable eyes, he entered the house.

These businessmen looked at each other and followed up expressionless. The meeting tonight was held to welcome Lynch.

Compared with other federal businessmen, Lynch has a natural special attribute - he is the Baron of gavra and the imperial aristocrat.

However, this is only the emperor's mouth seal, there is no real seal, and all kinds of ceremonies have not been held.

In gavra, the canonization of nobles is often carried out in autumn. Autumn symbolizes the harvest season. The harvest can be food, titles and more non-specific things.

In addition, in ancient times, territory had to be allocated after canonization. If the canonization time was in spring, it was likely to miss the spring sowing.

If we put it in summer, the original owner of the land would be dissatisfied. Everyone knows that summer has passed and autumn will come. At this time, it will be in vain to allocate the land to others for half a year.

The canonization is different after the autumn harvest. It not only has various symbolic meanings, but also the wheat on the land is almost harvested. At this time, there is no place to argue about arranging a new Lord to take office.

At the same time, the new Lord can also organize a new planting plan as soon as possible. You know, during the Lord's manor period, the seeds planted also come from the Lord.

Therefore, for various reasons, the canonization is generally held after the autumn harvest, and the power and boundaries are determined before the arrival of winter.

With the development of history, there are no real "fiefs" in gavrati, and the nobles do not have their own territory, but many customs have been preserved.

It's still summer. Lynch can only be said to be a "Baron". As long as there is no real seal for one day, he can't be completely regarded as an aristocrat of the Empire.

This is also the reason why businessmen dare to embarrass him. In addition, behind these businessmen are large and small nobles. Their relations in the Empire are complex, which can not be easily overthrown by a "federal nobleman".

Secondly, we all know more or less that Lynch's aristocracy is not so easy to be.

The canonization of a foreigner as an aristocrat itself is a very strange thing, which inevitably won't make people think more. Moreover, this was later requested by the Emperor himself, not a product of some kind of diplomacy, so people have more room for imagination.

This house is not particularly luxurious, because it is a local building, not built by the gavra people after they came. They try to choose some suitable houses for use, and others that are not suitable are given to the garrison.

Although the house itself is not luxurious, but later they renovated it again and looked much better.

Led by the president of the chamber of Commerce, Lynch crossed a corridor and came to a hall.

As Lynch's right foot stepped into the hall, the already prepared conductor suddenly lifted the baton, and the slightly cheerful movement began to sound in an instant.

With the sound of music, the whole hall seemed to be completely "alive".

The messengers kept putting plates of food on the table, and some women wore exquisite evening gowns to enter in the accompaniment of music. This was a very novel experience.

Obviously, this is an ordinary cocktail party, but it can make people feel different from the federal cocktail party at this moment.

Everything here is too regular and orderly. From the performance of the band to the admission of attendants to the admission of female guests, they have a complete set of processes according to their own rules, which is not as casual as the federal cocktail party.

This is precisely where the cultural differences between the two countries are the largest, a strict hierarchy and a free and brilliant.

"Let me introduce you..." the president of the chamber of Commerce stood in the crowd and introduced Lynch to those gentlemen and ladies who didn't welcome out. "Standing next to me is the new aristocrat of the Empire, his Excellency the Baron from the Federation, Mr. Lynch..."

What the fuck is this?!

Lynch doesn't believe such a big man. He can't even say a word. Obviously, this is what he deliberately did. He didn't fight back immediately, but politely greeted everyone with his eyes and nod.

"Mr. Lynch, say something for us!" the president of the chamber of Commerce looked at him with a smile, which was obviously a good way to embarrass Lynch.

They don't believe that Lynch is familiar with amelia as he is with nagary. He doesn't even have friends here.

On this occasion, there are gavra people around. What would a person say if he was only a federate?

He will say something that caters to the scene and most people. As long as Lynch says it, he will lose.

Looking at the flickering light in the eyes of the president of the chamber of Commerce, Lynch has understood each other's meaning. This is not a conspiracy, this is a conspiracy.

Even if you know these things are problematic, you can't avoid and refuse them.

Lynch looked at these people and asked with a smile, "what should I say?"

Before the president of the chamber of Commerce answered him, he said to himself, "I'm not sure what I should say. I'm not a hypocritical person. I won't change my original intention and position to cater to others for some purposes."

"I know you don't like me, not just me, you don't like federates and the Federation, because we just did an 'unforgivable' thing."

"Now, I'm coming here again to do the same thing that you think 'unforgivable' but there's no way to deal with it!"

Stone broke the sky and tore off the hypocritical mask without hesitation. Looking at those stunned, surprised, unhappy, sullen and demented faces, Lynch would not regret what he had just said. He was still slightly tilted at the corner of his mouth.

Even if he says something nice and caters to these people, will these people accept him?

No, absolutely not. They will only reject him more united. Since they belittle their achievements and others can't be satisfied to let these people change their position, why do they wrong themselves?

Whether he says something nice or something bad, these people will target him, so don't hide it.

He used the word "unforgivable" in this paragraph. This word came from the mouth of emperor gavra. When he knew that his fleet was almost destroyed, this was his roar in the ruler's hall. Unforgivable!

Lynch did not hesitate to use the word to tell these people why he could be here. He also used the word to tell them what he was going to do.

He wants to snatch profits from these people's pockets, which is really "unforgivable" for these businessmen!

There is no empty head and brain to cater to the music, only frontal fire.

Even the music in the hall was out of tune because of Lynch's words.

He stood in the center of the crowd. Except for himself, all the eyes were "enemies", but he was so confident and calm. He smiled and looked at others. Few people could look at him for a long time, mostly in a moment or half a second, and moved away from his aggressive eyes.

"Mr. Lynch..." the president of the chamber of Commerce was at a loss. He thought Lynch would say something to cater to everyone, such as hoping everyone to get rich together.

After all, he doesn't understand here. It's reasonable for him to say something that blurs the boundaries. Then these words will spread and become Lynch's performance of catering to the local chamber of Commerce and the Empire under the control and adaptation of intentional people.

The federals kneel and lick the Empire. Isn't that what the domestic lords want to see?

But he never thought that Lynch would fire directly at everyone here, even at the gavra empire.

This

Did you drink too much of this bastard?

But I can't see it from his white and handsome face?!

The president of the chamber of Commerce didn't know what he would say, but at this time, it's best to interrupt him, "I..."

Before he said anything, Lynch interrupted him. Lynch raised his hand and pressed it on his arm to stop him from saying, "I know what you're going to say, I know very well."

"I'm not here to meet you, have a drink, say something suitable for the scene, and then pat your ass and leave."

"Gentlemen and ladies, I'm here to do business. I'm here to compete with you in the market. We don't stand in the same position whether it's nationality or position, so we are both friends and enemies."

"I hope we can respect each other, show our style, meet on our 'battlefield', as hostile sides, and try our best to fight tenaciously."

"Win or lose!"

He glanced sideways at the president of the chamber of Commerce, "instead of playing some meaningless tricks to make each other look down on each other!"
