Chapter 80: The incarnation of the Tianlong people (the investment amount reaches 500 capital and
As Gilbert returned, the whole castle seemed to come back alive, and a large number of soldiers and servants in the castle were busy. It seemed that Gilbert was preparing a grand welcome banquet in order to welcome the masked guest.
But things obviously came too suddenly, and the people in the castle were not prepared at all, and they are busy now.
It was really a big man who moved his mouth and ran away from his legs.
Barr's target tonight, Hodgson, is one of the guardians of the castle. Of course, he will come out to greet Gilbert and the distinguished guests. After getting the news through the phone bug, he immediately put on thick clothes and came out of the room, and then quickly walked through the castle with a group of guards.
"It's really a bad time to come back."
Barr frowned and thought, seeing Hodgson's movements.
But soon, his brows stretched out, and his eyes were flashing red. He seemed to have discovered something interesting. He smiled on his face and began to walk around the castle calmly and go to the place where the banquet was held in the castle.
Of course, banquets are indispensable for hosting big figures in the city. Many nobles, celebrities and famous businessmen in the city were invited to come.
After all, the cooperation between official forces and gang forces cannot be put on the table. Even if many people know the relationship between the two, gangs are gangs, and the cooperation relationship between official forces and it cannot be revealed by Chi Lulu. It is always necessary to have a fig leaf, otherwise the official forces of the drum kingdom will be ridiculed by the world.
Therefore, Gilbert did not invite the senior officials of the major gangs in the city.
"What a grand banquet."
More than an hour later, in the banquet hall, Barr sat next to a table full of delicious food, eating the table's food while smiling at Williams beside him.
The Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce is already a veritable medium-sized chamber of commerce. It is also famous in the Port of Villa, which has brought Gilbert a lot of tax revenue. Moreover, Williams also often sends it to Gilbert when he hears Ball's words. Even Williams has a close relationship with Ball, so Gilbert of course invited Williams to come.
And perhaps because Barr has become a natural devil fruit abilities, Gilbert also specially placed Williams's position closer to the main table.
Barr was using the ability of the Twist Fruit to appropriately change his appearance and disguised himself as Williams' personal guard.
After the target Hodgson suddenly took action and stayed by Gilbert's side, he knew that the capture operation tonight had failed, so he had to temporarily place the target on the group of mysterious masked men brought back by Gilbert. Williams happened to be invited by Gilbert, so he took advantage of Williams to enter the banquet openly.
"Yes, but the people here are really out of place with us, and the eyes of these guys are really annoying."
Upon hearing this, Williams drank the fine wine in his goblet, then glanced at the very lively table nearby, then looked at his very deserted table, and whispered.
"Don't worry, it's just some guys who can't become a dog. If they dare to bare their teeth and claws, they will break off their teeth and claws." Barr sneered.
The Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce rose very fast, and it became a medium-sized chamber of commerce in less than half a year and earned a lot of wealth.
However, the time of his rise was too short, his foundation was not deep enough, his connections were still weak, and he had a bad background. It was just founded by several outsiders of Barr.
If Barr hadn't successfully joined the big tree of Ram Gang, and would have made great reputation in the city with his strong strength, the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce might have long been consuming the first pot of gold by the nobles and other large chambers of commerce in the city as a steamed bun when they made their first pot of gold by using honeycomb coal, a cheap commodity that had a very market in the drum kingdom.
But even though the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce has developed to this point, with huge industry and wealth, and behind it is Bar, the natural devil fruit ability and the strength he has, he still has not been able to integrate into the upper class of the city and has always been regarded as nouveau riche and mud-legged by most nobles in the city.
The Kingdom of Magnetic Drum is a feudal country with a strict class between the nobles and the common people.
The nobles claim to be noble in their blood and discriminate against ordinary people. Over hundreds of years, this discrimination has almost penetrated into their bones. Even though they know that civilians may be richer and stronger than them, they still look down on civilians.
Why is this happening? The reason is very simple, that is, there are people behind them supporting them and setting role models.
That's right, the backer behind the nobles in countries around the world is the world government ruled by the Tianlong people. As long as they become franchises of the world government and regularly offer gold from heaven, they can obtain legal protection from the world government.
The world government is the strongest force in the world. With their support, the nobles of the ruling class of countries in the world certainly have the confidence to look down on civilians.
They are not even afraid that civilians will rise up and resist, because as long as they apply for help from the world government, the world government will send powerful forces to help them suppress the rebellion.
It is precisely because of the strength of the world government that the nobles of all countries in the world will certainly regard the world's nobles, Tianlong people, as role models and imitate everything about this group of garbage.
For example, the dragon people like to play with slaves, and the nobles also learn to play. For example, the dragon people look down on others, and the nobles also learn to look down on others besides the dragon people. For example, the dragon people like to compare the treasures they own very much, and the nobles also spend a lot of money to collect various rare treasures to compare.
In short, most of the nobles in all countries around the world have the shadow of the dragon people, and are deeply influenced by the dragon people culture. Many great nobles can be said to be the incarnation of the dragon people.
Therefore, Williams, a civilian who fled from outside to the drum kingdom, was certainly not favored by the nobles in the Port of Villa. They even believed that Williams was just a dirty escapee who was worse than the untouchables, and might carry bad things on them, which would harm them.
And the more money Williams's Chamber of Fine Gold earned in the Port of Villa, the more jealous the nobles in the city were of his wealth, and felt that he, a dirty escapee, did not deserve so much wealth.
In fact, when Williams came in, many stubborn old nobles scolded Williams and Barr for getting out, and some young noble children who were obviously newborn calfs and were not afraid of tigers wanted to expel Williams and Barr in violent ways.
Fortunately, with Gilbert coming forward, Williams and Barr, who disguised himself as guards, were not really expelled, but they were also very disgraceful.
Gilbert, a guy who pretended to be a good person, just symbolically said a few good words to Williams and left, and then chatted with the nobles who made things difficult for Williams and Barr before, and his attitude towards Williams and Barr was obvious at a glance.
If they hadn't been useful, the Prince of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, who also regarded the Dragon Man as the ultimate goal, would have disdained them, and even had a worse attitude. Gilbert and those nobles who had revealed their true colors were essentially no different, and they were birds of a feather.
It was so difficult that Barr and Williams certainly had no good feelings for the nobles at the banquet.
However, the two of them had long been used to this and didn't care much about it. They even looked at the nobles around them who tried to imitate the Tianlong people with the mentality of looking at the clown.
"Who do you think those people will be?"
Williams nodded and asked in a low voice.
He had already received news about the mysterious masked people from Barr. Seeing that Barr had not explained it for a long time, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
Although Gilbert made him very annoying, betting cannot be influenced by emotions. If Gilbert can get the help of the group of mysterious masked men with great strength mentioned by Barr, which increases the chance of winning the Civil War, he will also put his betting on Gilbert's side.
Because only the winners can bring them the greatest benefits.
"Let Gilbert answer us."
Barr did not immediately reply to Williams, but stopped eating, looked in a certain direction of the banquet, and said softly.
Several masked men in black suits walked into the banquet hall. When Gilbert saw them, he immediately went over to fight with a smile on his face.
