The long silence caused the atmosphere to become somewhat oppressive. The gorgeously dressed ladies also shut their mouths and stood quietly.
There was no feminist movement in Gavra, and the status of women was slightly lower than that of men.
In a male-dominated world, when their men shut their mouths and showed a negative expression, it was best for them to keep their mouths shut.
The attendants in the room also stopped moving around busily. The music of the orchestra also lowered a little, as if it was affected by the atmosphere in the room.
Everyone was pondering over Lin Qi's words. What was the meaning behind those words?
A sharp aura!
The president of the Chamber of Commerce was the first to react. He began to reflect on his actions. He also realized that they wanted to humiliate Lynch, but in reality, the ones who were humiliated were themselves.
Lynch's words were like thunder in an empty valley, echoing in their ears for a long time, making them feel ashamed.
Applause sounded from one place and gradually connected together. Even if people didn't like Lynch, didn't like the Federation, and didn't like the Federation, they still had to show their approval of Lynch's words.
If you want to fight, then fight openly. Don't use underhanded methods to make your opponents look down on you.
In the face of the applause, Lynch smiled reservedly and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.
At this moment, he was the most dazzling person. Some of the ladies looked at his handsome face in a daze and fiercely clamped their legs together.
"Mr. Lynch, you are a very special person. Your words will give people a lot of inspiration!"
The president of the Chamber of Commerce gave a realistic affirmation. At this moment, he realized that if he continued to use underhanded methods, it would only be more humiliating. At this moment, he abandoned those thoughts.
He was also convinced by Lynch's boldness. After a heavy sigh, he straightened his thoughts.
"I would like to express my deepest apologies for everything that happened to you before."
Lynch also smiled and expressed his gratitude. "I accept your apology."
"Mr. Lynch, your words have given me a new understanding of you and a new understanding of many things. I will respect your attitude. At the same time, I hope you'll be mentally prepared …"
The Chamber of Commerce's President pursed his lips, and his expression was very serious. "As your opponent, we will do our best to snipe you. This is a tribute to a brave warrior!"
Lynch nodded. "I understand. Whether it's the Guevra or the Federation, our goals are the same. I will do my best to fight for the benefits I want."
This declaration was very much in line with the purpose of today's meeting. This declaration was actually more like a declaration of war. There seemed to be no smell of gunpowder, but in fact, the smell of gunpowder was very strong.
The president of the Chamber of Commerce laughed. He raised his voice slightly. "Let's play some cheerful songs. Where are our ladies?"
With the president's orders, the atmosphere of the banquet returned to how it should have been.
Looking at some of the ladies on the stage dancing very characteristic of the Guevra, enjoying the delicious food and wine, people chatted softly. It was like a flourishing age!
Early the next morning, the news of last night's banquet spread among the Guevara People. Not only did most of the people in Amelia know about it, but even the people in the Empire knew about it.
There were always some people who liked to spread gossip.
In the Federation, people would say that "there are no secrets in the Congress". In fact, there was a similar saying in the Guevra. Moreover, the members of a group like the Chamber of Commerce did not all stand on the same side and maintain absolute unity. It was inevitable that some people would spread the news from the perspective of an outsider.
Fortunately, things were not too bad. Although the president of the Chamber of Commerce made a fool of himself, he managed to salvage some of his image in time. If he did not want to be used as a negative example, he had to defeat Lynch's plans in Amelia.
As long as Lynch wanted to compete for a project, they would follow and use the various policies and subsidies given by the Empire to defeat these disruptors in the Federation.
They had to fight!
While the Guevara People laughed at these businessmen, they also became more curious about Lynch.
The Guevara People also had a sense of heroism. Since ancient times, there had been many legends of the Knight King and the Hero. Lynch's performance was amazing. He was like a hero in a knight novel. When faced with the enemy's siege, he launched a desperate counterattack and took back the situation in one fell swoop.
This kind of performance made people feel happy. The arrogant Guevara People began to spontaneously want to know more about Lynch. They wanted to know more about what kind of person this first foreign noble in the history of the Empire was.
The incident happened in the Amelia region. As the Governor of the region, Governor Seder was naturally aware of what happened during the banquet. In fact, he knew what Lynch had said less than ten minutes after the incident happened.
At this time, his view of Lynch had changed slightly. He had become a "troublesome and daring person".
After all, Lynch had used the sorrowful naval battle in front of so many Guevara People to stab them in the heart. Not only did he do it, but he did it without hiding it. Seder didn't know if he was daring or presumptuous.
After thinking for a while, Governor Seder summoned Lynch two days earlier than planned. In the afternoon, he met with Lynch in the study.
"Governor!"
Lynch stood in the middle of the study and bowed slightly to show his respect. He then raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man.
No, he might be an old man. He looked to be in his fifties. It was common knowledge that people in the upper echelons of society couldn't estimate their age based on their appearance.
These people often looked much younger than their actual age.
Lynch was sizing up the powerful governor. Governor Seder was also sizing up Lynch. His eyes were filled with unconcealed amazement.
"You're even younger than what I saw in the newspaper!"
Governor Seder said after Lynch greeted him for more than a minute.
Due to certain technical reasons, newspapers and magazines would lose some colors when they were printed. Some newspapers were just black and white, so it was difficult for these photos to reflect a person's style.
Plus, after what happened last night, before the two met, Governor Seder's impression of Lynch was that he was a young man with sharp edges, assertive ideas, and a sharp edge.
After meeting him, he realized that Lynch was younger than he thought.
Youth meant immaturity. Even though Lynch's style of dressing was more mature, his face was too young. Governor Seder could tell his age at a glance.
"The Federation has a message for you, Your Excellency Governor."
Governor Seder nodded slightly. "What is it?"
"A person's ambition has nothing to do with his age. Some children can say things with great momentum, while some old people have never said anything grand in their lives."
Governor Seder mulled it over for a moment. "It's very wise. The person who can say this must be a great sage."
In Guevra culture, they would refer to people with great ideas as "sages".
Lynch's words were indeed a rebuttal to Governor Seder's comment on Lynch's appearance, but it also contained a kind of thought, a kind of realm.
A moment later, Governor Seder pointed at the chair opposite the table. "Please have a seat, Mr. Lynch. Because you haven't been officially conferred a noble title, I can't address you by your noble title. Please forgive me."
He paused for a moment after he finished speaking. In Guevra, if you didn't point out a noble's identity, it was definitely a very rude thing to do.
"I didn't meet you immediately because I have a lot of work to do. As you know, there are anti-government and anti-empire rebels everywhere. I've been worried sick about them."
"I also want to thank you for your help. Your people are very fast and accurate. They've found some clues. I'm curious, how did you train these people?"
Lin Qi, who was sitting in his chair, saw the calm look in the governor's eyes and knew that his words weren't meant on the surface. It wasn't just Governor Seder. The other ministers and even the emperor knew why Lin Qi was so quick.
No, they knew. They even guessed that Lynch was supporting these anti-government militants. Otherwise, how could he find them so quickly and execute such a precise attack?
Yet, Governor Seder still asked this question. Lynch did not know what Governor Seder wanted.
Compared to Governor Seder who pretended to be dumb, the businessmen who pretended to be smart at the banquet last night were much more adorable.
After pondering for a moment, Lynch answered, "Targeted training, Governor Seder."
"Please forgive me for using a metaphor that may not be appropriate to describe this relationship. We know that some dogs are suitable for hunting. They run faster and have a better sense of smell."
"Some dogs are very smart. They can help humans with a lot of work, such as shepherding."
"Some dogs are very loyal. Every owner can rest assured that they will be in charge of their home."
"Of course, some dogs can't do anything well and are only suitable for being ornamental dogs."
"Before the employees of Blackstone Security get a job, they will receive a variety of professional training. As long as these employees can go through the training and work, it means that they are the best of the best. They can complete many tasks, many tasks that people can't imagine."
Governor Seder nodded noncommittally. His face was expressionless. "You have done very well. I have been praising your employees when I contacted the people in the country."
"I am very grateful for everything you have done here, but I also need to remind you, Mr. Lynch, that this is the Amelia Province, the territory of the Empire."
"I know that the people of the Federation have their own way of doing things, but that is in your territory."
"What I'm saying may sound harsh, but I hope you can listen to me. Here, you have to follow our rules. Your stuff …" He shook his head. "It won't work. Do you understand what I mean?"
