On the other side, Azure Fort Harbor.

When he saw Xia Fan and Olina again, Lathein's attitude had changed a lot, "Isn't this Ambassador Xia? Please sit down...Come here and serve tea to the guests."

The dragon girl cast a glance at him and snorted coldly.

The defense officer's smile suddenly became more guilty, "The god judge came to the door, I really can't deal with it perfunctorily, don't look at those guys who are young and young, their eyes seem to be able to read people's hearts - Miss Okan should understand, The price of deceiving the church is generally not low."

"We can understand this." Xia Fan smiled, sort of lightly exposing the matter, "After all, it's just a possible clue, and there is still a long way to go before finding the Son of the Holy Spirit."

"That's true." Latherin looked at the ambassador with more kindness, "I don't know why the two of you came to find me? You won't find new clues, right?"

"We want to know the business groups on the list, who are their bosses, and who are the investors behind them." Xia Fan said bluntly.

Although they are called business associations in name, in his view, these organizations have actually taken the form of companies—according to Olina, these organizations not only recruit capable people to manage production and commerce, but also raise funds from all parties To strengthen their own strength, the business they run is no longer limited to family business, so its background is much more complicated than that of ordinary commercial firms.

To inquire about this aspect, Xia Fan's first thought was still the harbor defense officer.

He is an aristocrat and has access to customs affairs. This information is not a secret to him.

And the fact is the same, Rather, without making too many excuses, took out the booklet recording the details of the business group. "It records the news of their public declaration, and you can extract a copy here. However, the investors who did not declare will not be known. Even the Earl, it is impossible to figure out the source of funds behind each business group. .”

"Oh? I thought Lord Cleveland invested in them." Xia Fan pretended to be surprised.

"How is that possible." Latherin shook his head, "The background behind some business groups is astonishingly large, not to mention the Earl of Azure Fort, even the Duke who governs the territory is difficult to intervene."

"You mean the church?"

"I didn't say that." Ratherin denied it flatly. "At least on the surface, the church does not participate in these games of interest."

In other words, secretly.

Xia Fan nodded tacitly, "I heard that the church is also investigating these business groups. They won't find out about the Earl, will they?"

"Don't worry, there isn't a business group related to the lord on this list." Lassein replied unabashedly, "Let's not say that the Earl of Cleveland has no plans to set up an eastern route for the time being, and he is also the last thing Azure Castle wants. Anyone who sees something unexpected happen to the Son of the Holy Ghost—especially on their own grounds."

This is an intriguing news.

Xia Fan flipped through the brochure and said in a relaxed tone, "That is to say, no matter how bad these business groups are, the lord is happy to see success?"

"That can't be done." Latherin shrugged, "After all, they have to rely on them to collect business taxes."

"What if the benefit that makes them suffer is greater than the commercial tax?"

"Oh? There is such a good thing? The more such business groups, the better."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Too fast... Olina looked at the two suspiciously from the side, Xia Fan's changes were really too fast.

He is obviously an oriental person, and he should be incompatible with the Holy Wing Islands. However, when it comes to business groups, investment, and other things, he is actually better than himself, which is very surprising. How do you feel that he is not only suitable for the appearance of a practitioner in a long robe with fluttering sleeves, but also a qualified profiteer after putting on a short shirt and leather boots?

After Xia Fan turned a few pages, his eyes stopped on a name—Azie Lumen.

It's not that the name itself is so special, but that the frequency of this name appearing in the brochure is really high, and at the same time, he is also the main helm of Baiguoyuan.

"What is the background of this person?"

"He..." Latherin glanced at him, "He is a famous person in Azure Castle, he is a tycoon in the business world, and he has many business groups in his hands. It is difficult for ordinary people to meet him. It is not so easy for you to find out what he said."

"He's not a nobleman?" Xia Fan noticed a hint of disdain in the baron's tone.

"People without demons are just good at doing business and simply rich."

"So that's how it is." He thought for a while, "It's difficult for ordinary people to see him, but for the Cracked Tooth family, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Ratherin glanced at Xia Fan with great interest. Such an upright foreigner was indeed somewhat beyond his original impression of Dongfang. "Azie is a frequent visitor to the auction. He has a hobby of collecting unusual and rare objects. If you have some oriental treasures on hand, maybe you can make some friends with him."

"I'm afraid you are not referring to an ordinary auction." Olina interjected.

"Of course, there are no tickets for this kind of auction, but often only regular customers are invited, and most people don't even know where it will be held." Latherin spread his hands, "For me, that kind of place is mostly used for eating and drinking , It’s just familiarity.”

"What if an acquaintance introduces you?" Xia Fan asked.

"This..."

A bag of coins was placed in front of him.

The mouth of the bag was not fastened tightly, and with a quick glance, one could see that it was full of Jin Keen, at least thirty or more.

"It's easy to say," Lathein grinned at the corner of his mouth. This amount of money is no longer a small sum, and this guy is indeed very good. "I can take you in, as long as there is no disturbance."

"when?"

Latherin put the purse into the drawer and said, "Tomorrow night."

...

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the supervisor suddenly approached the horn and brought him into the steward's office.

Goyle was alone in the room.

He put down the teacup, pointed to the chair by the wall, "Sit."

Horn hesitated for a while, and finally sat down as he said, "Excuse me...do you have anything to do? There are dozens of boxes of goods waiting to be moved outside the factory..."

"It's okay to take a break, I called you here to ask you a question." Gore said unhurriedly, "Just now I heard that you went to the yard during lunch time, and the production team at that time People seem to be present, this situation seems to violate the rules of the factory?"

Horn's heart was slightly startled.

Is this a whistleblower?

"I don't quite understand what you mean... I just wanted to find a shady place to take a nap..."

"Just a nap? I don't think so." Gore stared into his eyes. "There are people from the production team on one side of the yard and people from the handling team on the other. This kind of coincidence is rare. Why do I think...more like Is it to let the wind out?"
