Fat Edric, the old man Baker, and Afro Tyre can be said to be the three most important people in the entire side branch sect.
Edric runs a transportation kingdom in the third area of the surface, and he monopolizes all freight, shipping, air transportation and other businesses in the area. Even the federally controlled products often appear in the delivery list of the Edric company. In Edric's hands, more than 100,000 people are serving his kingdom, ranging from dignitaries to the workers with greasy faces. It is these people of all stripes that constitute this huge and tight transportation kingdom.
"There is nowhere I can't reach."
This is a saying that Edric often talks about. He is like the uncrowned king of District 3, and is also the most powerful administrative district on the surface of Beskod. Of course, Edric was able to sit in his current position and to live on this road of power struggle to the present because of Horn's support behind him.
In the more than 50 years since the rise of Edric's transportation kingdom to stability, Bethkod’s main family has also invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this area. This is a long war of two generations. As a result, Horn and Edric also formed a deep friendship. It is a complex emotion that cannot be separated by blood, friendship and interests.
The old man Baker is Horn's uncle, one of the older people in the entire Presbyterian Church. His site is in District 8, in the dark world of that district, the name of Butcher Baker can make crying children shut up immediately. Baker is one of the largest drug suppliers in that district. The road he has traveled can only be described as a storm. It is a real road. Every inch of ground on Baker’s road is filled with blood and meat!
Baker's nickname is not for nothing, and the competition in the drug industry will only be more fierce than that of Edric. Chalos, Bethkod’s former patriarch, did not want to touch the drug business, so there was not much support for Baker. Baker had limited leverage and resources from the main house, but he was born in the 8th district to create his own territory.
Of course, people like this have nothing to do with honesty, so in the turbulent days when Horn took over the family, Baker even wanted to assassinate the heir of the main family crazily. Afterwards, Horn and the newly formed secret warrior were smashed into pieces. Baker's three sons died in the hands of the secret warrior. Even Baker himself and those few front teeth were beaten by Horn himself.
After the mad dog was beaten away, he obediently chose Chenfu. Horn also had to admit that with Baker, some things were much easier to handle.
The last Tyre, his industry is not fixed in any administrative district on the surface like the two elders before. In the 22 administrative districts on the surface, Tyre's industries are almost spread across more than half of the administrative districts. His business covers a wide range, including weapons manufacturing, oil refining, mining, dangerous species trafficking/selling, casinos, restaurants, etc. Judging from the depth of the industry, he is far behind the other two elders, but far surpasses them in breadth.
This brings Tyre a huge and important benefit, and that is intelligence. It is no exaggeration to say that Tyre is Beskod's eyes and ears on the surface. Through him, Beskod can accurately understand all kinds of information on the surface.
Of the three, Edrick and Horne have the deepest friendship, Baker hates them, and Tyre is neutral. The other elders in the presbytery also chose to live among the three. Formed a unified, yet distinct power structure.
It is conceivable that it is not easy to control these complex and powerful powers of other clans. Among them, it is not enough to rely solely on the name between the main family and the side sect. The most important thing is strength!
The so-called power includes the prosperous bloodline of the main family, the endless talents, and even the huge family army, and the top powerhouse who can suppress one side. Only with these powers can the master family firmly control the sidezong. Just like when Horne took over the family, there was a lot of opposition. Horn simply left behind the chaotic sidezong, pulled the army directly into the chaotic battlefield, impacted the planet of the blade demon, and finally brought back to the head of the demon general Habick, all the voices of opposition overnight All disappear in between, this is the shocking effect of power.
Even after so many years, even if there is no shortage of elders in the Punzong who regarded Horn as an enemy like Baker. But after so many years, no one dared to jump out to oppose Horne, and could only make things difficult for him occasionally from the level of family rules.
Horn's purpose for the sidezong is also very simple. As long as he can control the three of Edric, Baker and Tyre, the other sidezongs will not have any suspicions. This is his rule.
Simple and straightforward.
After the three most important figures of the elders arrived, the other elders were also in place. Entering the conference hall, it is inevitable to have a moment of greeting. So it was only half an hour later that Horne announced the start of the meeting. According to the previous process, the first link is for the elders of the sidezongs to report on the family business profile and profit data they presided over the past five years.
This year is no exception, so it started with Edric. The big fat man moved his ass, but didn't directly get to the point, but said, "Everyone, I recently discovered an interesting thing."
The time of the elders’ meeting is very long, and occasionally some elders talk about irrelevant things at the meeting and no one will stop it. So Horn didn't interrupt the fat man, but just looked at him with a smile. Edric leaned forward, his upper body almost resting on the table. Even with the sturdiness of Lightning Rock, this stone table creaks lightly to the fat man's tonnage.
"Recently, I found one of the orders in the transportation channel of my management products. It turned out to be the source jade of the Black Dusk King Snake!" Fatty laughed.
Baker showed his row of yellow teeth and sneered, "Although Tier 10 dangerous species is rare, it shouldn't make you such a fuss, right?"
"What do you know, the head of a person who stepped into the grave is probably half of his head rotten." The fat man nodded his head and continued: "The interesting thing is not this source jade, but the source of the jade from The one sent from Babylon was designated to be delivered to an old guy in Area 11 on the surface. This old thing was photographed at a secret auction by the representative/manager of Babylon. As for the holder of the source jade The column is filled with the names of Leon and Allen."
"Leon? Isn't that a kid from the William family?"
"Who is that Ellen?"
"Alan... sounds familiar."
Afro Tyre raised his head at this time, and smiled as he swept past the talking elders: "I think you are all old and confused. Isn't Alan the kid that our great Patriarch Horn has cultivated in recent years?"
Horn spread his hand and smiled: "Since it is put together with Leon's name, it should be our little Allen. Hey, good boy, he hunted the king snake."
After returning to Babylon, Allen and Horn mentioned that they had hunted a group of dangerous species and cooperated with Leon to handle the matter with his identity. Horn didn't ask carefully at the time, but only encouraged him to make more friends like Leon. I never thought that the two of Allen actually killed a king snake. Now they heard that they were a little surprised at the moment.
"No, no, this is not the most interesting. I know that the William's family recently held an autumn hunt, and people checked it. The William's Master Leon has always been second on the list. And our little Allen, On the afternoon of the start of autumn hunting, he fell out of the top ten list, and he couldn't see his name the next day.
Edric pretended to be mysteriously said.
An elder standing on Baker's side said: "So this is the person trained by Chief Horn? Ha, it's fine if you can't make it in the top ten, and you haven't even entered the list? This is really disappointing. I suggest, Cancel his family funding because he is not eligible!"
Baker smiled and declined to comment.
Edric looked at the elder with an idiot look. Just as he was about to speak, Tyre turned a ruby ring in his hand and said: "I think you didn't understand the meaning of the fat man's words. Leon has been showing up. On the list, that means he has been busy hunting during the autumn hunting. If I remember correctly, this autumn hunting was held in the Whispering Forest. There is indeed a king snake there~EbookFREE.me~ but listen. Said that its snake nest is far away from the forest border, at the border with the Xuanyun Snow Mountain."
"The kid named Leon wants to maintain his advantage. I don't think he has time to go all the way to the Xuanyun Snow Mountain to hunt. Looking at our Ellen, he fell out of the list. I remember he was dead. The victory of the ring, if someone like this can't beat a few dangerous species, I won't believe it. So there is only one possibility, that is, our little Allen did not hunt obediently, but went deep into the forest. Hang the names of Yuanyu and the two of them together, I don’t think we need to talk about it anymore." Tyre said, "The truth is that our little Allen hunted a king snake alone, and then used the name of the young master of the William family The shot."
Horn nodded and said, "Allen did go to the depths of the forest. The bear skin of a tyrant in my study now proves it. But it's about hunting the king snake..."
"Perhaps it happened to happen that the king snake was in a period of weakness, because there were the bones of the Snow Giant among the management products sent from the secret auction. Yes, their holders are also these two little guys." Edric waved his fat hand and said: "It must have been a fight between the king snake and the snow giant, and it turned out that our little Allen picked up the bargain. But I have to say that the little guy's luck is surprisingly good."
Baker, who had not spoken all the time, finally opened his mouth and said, "Even so, this little thing is worthy of your Edric's special book at the Presbyterian Church? Edrick, you are too fussy."
The fat man smiled and said, "I don't think it is inappropriate to discuss our family's future star at the meeting. Instead, it is you, old Baker. I suggest you pay more attention to the affairs of the next family, if it is because of insufficient information. And if you make a wrong judgment, you will regret it in the future."
A cold light appeared in Baker's dead eyes: "What do you want to say, Edric!"
