Chapter 110 -Four: Challenge

Palermo watched the approaching long caravan with some hesitation, the carriage in the middle bearing the snarling bear head emblem was particularly conspicuous. No need to mention that it was the distinctive clan emblem of the Caucasus Lord who acted alone, perhaps a way to show his blatant break with his father and brothers in Cyprus City.

Remembering the warnings given by Princess Katya, Palermo felt hesitant, “This guy may not seem impressive now, but he’s certainly not a nobody. I can’t be sure what he might do in the future, but once he does, it’s definitely going to be shocking.” This was Princess Katya’s prediction for the Caucasus Lord, and although Palermo wasn’t fascinated by politics, his business couldn’t survive without it. Since he couldn’t avoid politics, he must take the initiative politically. Only by doing so could he turn his investments into profits to the greatest extent possible. That was Palermo’s creed.

Now facing a choice, Palermo’s fat face seemed to have an excess of accumulated muscle, even his eyes seemed to have sunk a bit under the pressure of the fat and eye bags, but this didn’t affect the agility of his gaze. Seeing as he’s no ordinary fellow, why not take a small gamble on him, hoping this guy wouldn’t disappoint him.

Palermo’s secret invitation surprised Komer. The deal was done, and only menial tasks were left for the servants. What else could be important enough for this man to sneakily send someone to invite him? Could someone be plotting against him again? Komer drove to a branch in the road far off the main trial in a carriage bearing no marks, where he found another anonymous carriage waiting.

As he boarded the carriage, the spacious interior seemed crowded due to the other’s presence, and he didn’t know whether it was psychological or something else, but the air inside the carriage seemed to thin out.

“Mr. Palermo, it’s a pleasure to meet you here, although this hardly seems like a good place for a heart-to-heart. If Mr. Palermo has some leisure time, how about I take you hunting in our Caucasus? I promise you it’s more flavorful and exciting than His Majesty the King’s Versailles Hunting Manor. And if Mr. Palermo is into adventures, Damarlinsk Castle is a famous site in the kingdom, guaranteed to give you an unforgettable experience,” Komer said, feigning the demeanor of a frivolous young master quite contrary to his appearance during the negotiations.

“Your Excellency, you surely have a leisurely disposition. The Caucasus might indeed be a great place for hunting and adventure, but ordinary people prefer a stable and safe life. Have you ever considered, Your Excellency, if there’s a suitable place willing to accept them, whether they would still head to the Caucasus?” Shruging his shoulders, an action that should have appeared carefree but looked rather comical on his corpulent body, Komer now had no interest in how gracefully the other conducted himself, even if he was as elegant as a swan or as noble as a royal.

“Mr. Palermo, what do you mean by that?” Komer’s brain whirled rapidly, guessing that the group of immigrants must be causing trouble. Without guessing, he knew that the wealth of Galle Plain had tempted them and the role Duke Zellin might have played was unknown, but he was certain the Duke was involved.

“Your Excellency, it seems your political sense isn’t very sharp. That doesn’t seem like the behavior of a Lord. Don’t you know that many people inside and outside the kingdom are unhappy with you suddenly receiving so much free labor? To be forewarned is to be forearmed, Your Excellency, perhaps you should prepare in advance.” A faint sneer on his face, Palermo regretted his decision, perhaps he had misjudged the man; without even a pinch of awareness or vigilance, such a Lord might soon become nothing more than a pile of maggots in the wilds of the Caucasus.

“Heh, Mr. Palermo, please don’t be overly anxious. Are you implying that the old folks from Meine City-State and Susoer City-State reached some secret agreement with Duke Zellin?” Komer didn’t want the other to look down on him and cut straight to the point.

With a surprised grin, Palermo felt at ease, realizing that the seemingly nonchalant man before him was not simple. He conceded he had underestimated him. Nodding, Palermo took out a thick cigar from a wooden box on the table in front of him, put it in his mouth, and struck a beautifully crafted Magic Crystal Firestone in his hand like an heirloom artwork. A bluish flame flickered between their faces, and the pale blue smoke then wafted throughout the carriage, disappearing into the gaps in the ceiling.

“Since Your Excellency already knows about it, I haven’t seen you take any measures. Could it be that Your Excellency truly believes in the loyalty of those fools?” Palermo inhaled deeply, savoring the pleasure brought by the burning tobacco. Not everyone could feel the pleasure that wormed its way through the lungs and out into the air. His eyes glanced at the other while his plump fingers tapped lightly on the window sill.

“No, Mr. Palermo, my information isn’t as accurate or sensitive as you imagine. Still, the behavior of those fools has indeed made me cautious. However, if Duke Zellin truly intends to do what you suggest, it’s doubtful I could stop such things from happening even if I were prepared,” Komer replied, seemingly relaxed and nonchalant.
