Chapter 97: Baron Carl’s Thoughts

116, Fis Street

At the entrance of the Carl Family Mansion.

William and Mora got off the carriage, leaving Bernie behind. He wasn’t good at these things anyway, so it was better to leave it all to William and Mora, and he could return to the Academy Workshop early to help the teacher finish the combination magic patterns.

Looking up at the luxurious villa in front of him, William felt a bit sentimental.

The last time he was here, he was just a newly reborn. Now, he was also a respected silver mage, but it had only been two short months.

The return of the Dragon King template?

Haha, William didn’t have such thoughts. After all, he came specifically to discuss cooperation with Mora’s father, Simon Carl. Such a thing shouldn’t happen.

As Mora got off the carriage, he called for a family servant to come over and asked, “Where is Father now?”

Although the servant was curious why the Second Young Master had returned home at this time, he still obediently replied, “Master is upstairs, probably discussing matters with Master John.”

Upon hearing John’s name, Mora’s brows furrowed slightly, but he didn’t say much. Leading William, he went straight through the gate.

William knew who this John was. He was Mora’s elder brother, John Carl, also the heir of the Carl family.

But the relationship between him and Mora wasn’t very good, especially when it involved the inheritance of the vast business empire like the Golden Vine Chamber of Commerce.

However, their relationship was only somewhat strained; it hadn’t reached the point of being at odds with each other.

Mora asked the servant to take William to the reception room to rest for a while. He went to the study first to roughly explain the situation to his father.

William wasn’t in a hurry. He rested for a while on the sofa in the reception room, picked up the white teacup, took a sip, and enjoyed the exquisite desserts on the small table in front of him.

Although William didn’t particularly like the bitterness of black tea, it went quite well with the desserts.

Mora had been gone for a long time, and just when William thought something unexpected had happened, the door of the reception room was gently pushed open by a servant.

The one who walked in at the forefront was Mora’s father, Baron Simon Carl.

Dressed in magnificent noble attire, with slightly graying hair meticulously groomed, he exuded a strong aura, yet there was also a hint of warmth in his smile.

Mora followed closely behind his father, but his complexion didn’t look too good.

Soon William understood the reason. Mora’s brother, John Carl, also followed behind. He was a young man who appeared very shrewd, and although he smiled, there was a somewhat sharp edge to him.

Before Mora could speak, John stepped forward a few steps and extended his hand in a friendly manner towards William, saying, “Long time no see, Viscount Cain.”

“Hello.”

William shook John’s hand with a neutral attitude. After all, he was well aware of the conflict between himself and Mora.

John didn’t mind either, smiling as he walked to the sofa on the side and sat down.

Baron Simon Carl had already sat down on the central sofa, smiling as he gestured for William and Mora to sit down beside him.

“I heard that you want to establish a chamber of commerce with Mora. Is that correct?” William had visited Mora’s home many times before, so he was already familiar with Simon Carl, and they naturally skipped many formalities.

“Yes, Uncle Simon, I have some ideas, but I still hope to get your help and the assistance of the Golden Vine Chamber of Commerce,” William replied straightforwardly, stating the purpose of his visit today and making it clear that he wanted help from the one of top five chamber of commerce of the kingdom, not just the Carl family.

There’s quite a difference between the two!

Although the Carl family currently controlled the operation of the Golden Vine Chamber of Commerce, and Simon Carl was also the chairman of chamber of commerce, It was not a dictatorship of the Carl family.

From Mora, William learned that the Carl family owned about thirty percent of the shares in the Golden Vine Chamber of Commerce.

So William wanted the commitment of Baron Simon to gain the support of the Golden Vine Chamber of Commerce, not just the help of the Carl family.

This was different from the situation with the Harold family. The Canlight United Chamber of Commerce also had numerous shareholders, but they were mostly court nobles of the Fis Kingdom.

Duke Harold, as the representative of the court nobility and the confidant of the king, wielded considerable influence within the Canlight United Chamber of Commerce, so naturally, others wouldn’t oppose Duke Harold’s plans.

“Mora said, you are planning to mainly deal with the enchanted products of Master Dahr?” Simon chuckled, saying this was also why he was interested.

Joseph Dahr, as the most famous rune master in Canlight City, naturally had everyone clamoring for his works.

Simon wasn’t worried that William would deceive him in this matter. He was just curious why Dahr would entrust his enchanted products to William and his group, who were preparing to establish a small guild.

William glanced at Mora, realizing that this guy hadn’t told Baron Carl the specifics yet.

After organizing his thoughts, William said seriously, “You misunderstood. We aren’t directly dealing with Master Dahr’s handmade products, but rather enchanted products made using the new runes created by the master—a kind that can significantly reduce the consumption of elemental crystals.”

This was William and the others’ plan. Since they had Bernie, a legitimate disciple, they would first pin the creation of runes on Dahr, so others wouldn’t find it strange.

After all, for a rune master like Dahr, innovating a new rune wasn’t particularly surprising.

“Oh, is that so?” Hearing William’s explanation, Simon’s interest grew even more intense.

Although Master Dahr’s works were precious, the problem was that there were too few of them to serve as the main products of a guild. It would be best to use them to boost popularity at auctions.

If it were new enchanted products that could be mass-produced, that would be even more interesting.

“In the end, I haven’t seen your products yet,” Simon said to William with a smile, the implication in his words already quite clear.

“These days, Master Dahr is still adjusting the runes, so it may take some time for the products to come out.”

“But I can tell you that one of the products we plan to produce is an enchanted product that can adjust indoor temperature, along with several other precious decorative items.”

John, who had been listening all along, couldn’t sit still and kept looking at Baron Carl.

Baron Carl remained unchanged in expression, smiling as he asked, “Naturally, I trust Master Dahr’s work. It’s definitely a good deal.”

“But why do you have to establish a separate organisation? Why not directly entrust these enchanted products to our Golden Vine Chamber of Commerce for production and sales? It would save time, and the benefits you and Master Dahr deserve wouldn’t be any less.”

“No, thank you. The three of us just want to start a small business of our own, and that’s also why Master Dahr supports us,” William said with a smile.

Old man, you want me to hand over the “Self-Recharging” rune products to you? Dream on!
