City Lord Kamado looked at the form in his hand with a very strange expression.
This was an application for a new company, the content was to open a company in Banta City.
Properly speaking, for this kind of normal application, it wouldn't bother him as the Lord City Lord to personally look over it.
But this application wasn't normal at all.
First, when all the companies other than the ten companies were leaving Banta City, there was actually someone who came to apply for a new company, which was very strange in and of itself.
What was even more unusual was that the Seveni Chamber of Commerce was written on the application form.
City Lord Kamado naturally knew that this so called Seveni Chamber of Commerce was a company supported by her highness Seveni.
Around a month ago, her highness Seveni suddenly came to Banta City and didn't hide her tracks. So according to what was understood, City Lord Kamado had invited her highness to a banquet on behalf of the City Lord Manor.
At the banquet, her highness Seveni had told City Lord Kamado that she might want to open a company.
City Lord Kamado thought that her highness Seveni was joking at that time.
Although the nobles of the kingdom didn't care about the rules of the Royal Parliament and participated in some business activities, her highness Seveni had always kept to herself and never participated in any of this.
Even when she had a good relationship with the New Flyer and Xu Yi, she had never heard of her highness Seveni obtaining any benefits from the New Flyer.
But now her highness Seveni wanted to open her own company?
How was this possible?
But the application in front of City Lord Kamado clearly told him that this wasn't a joke.
Moreover, this company was called the Seveni Chamber of Commerce. The applicant in name, who was the chairman, was actually the deacon closest to her highness Seveni. At the banquet, her highness Seveni had specially introduced him to City Lord Kamado and asked him to take care of him.
"Take care?" City Lord Kamado couldn't help revealing a bitter smile.
Because she had decided to give up the throne, her highness Seveni's reputation in the Lampari Kingdom had reached a very high level. Whether it was in the hearts of the citizens or the nobles, she had a very high evaluation and reputation.
This kind of highness Seveni suddenly wanted to open a company and throw herself into business activities. Even if she didn't use a representative and did it herself, the Royal Parliament wouldn't dare say a single word.
To have City Lord Kamado take care of the Seveni Chamber of Commerce, that was simply a kind of irony.
To be honest, he should be the one begging for Her Highness to take care of him.
However, the problem that troubled City Lord Kamado was this.
Her highness Seveni wanted to come back to Banta City to open a company, so he didn't have any reason to reject her.
But now that City Lord Kamado and the ten companies had chased out the disobedient companies and brought Banta City under their control, there was no doubt that the Seveni Chamber of Commerce would destroy this good situation.
Because it was a company opened by her highness Seveni, the ten companies couldn't deal with the Seveni Chamber of Commerce like they did with the other companies in Banta City.
But if her highness Seveni broke the rules of the ten companies, it would affect the entire situation.
City Lord Kamado was 100% certain that her highness Seveni would break the rules that were finally unified.
The reason was very simple, the application clearly stated that the main business of the Seveni Chamber of Commerce was magic machines.
"Is her highness here to cause trouble?" City Lord Kamado deeply knit his brows.
With the close relationship between her highness Seveni and the New Flyer, if it was said that the Seveni Chamber of Commerce didn't have the shadow of the New Flyer behind it, City Lord Kamado wouldn't believe it no matter what.
When the New Flyer was forced to leave, unexpectedly, they didn't fight back at all.
City Lord Kamado thought that the New Flyer would find a chance to fight back, but he never thought that the New Flyer would have this much power, being able to make her highness take such a clear stance.
"How should we deal with this?" City Lord Kamado pondered this problem and felt that it was very troublesome.

Whether City Lord Kamado was willing or not, the Seveni Chamber of Commerce was smoothly opened.
On the day of opening, the Seveni Chamber of Commerce held a grand celebration in the store they rented, announcing the official opening to everyone.
Reporters from the « Banta Times » and the surrounding cities were all present. There were even reporters from Anvilmar City's « Anvilmar Times » and the « Lampuri Weekly ».
The opening of the Seveni Chamber of Commerce caused quite a stir. Almost as soon as it opened, almost everyone in the Lampari Kingdom knew about it.
If one was familiar with her highness Seveni, they would find that this method didn't match her low key style at all.
In just half a month after the Seveni Chamber of Commerce opened, countless magic machines were transported into the empty factories the Seveni Chamber of Commerce bought from the New Flyer in the Falling Rain Valley.
Following this, a bunch of people who came from who knew where were transported by the Seveni Chamber of Commerce, working in the factories under the Seveni Chamber of Commerce.
At the same time, the Seveni Chamber of Commerce was openly recruiting workers in Banta City.
In the recruitment notice, the Seveni Chamber of Commerce clearly stated that they would be giving workers a minimum wage of ten gold coins a month.
Although it was still a bit lacking compared to the high wage of Banta City from a few years ago, it had already far surpassed the wage of the ten companies.
Because of this, there were many Banta City residents who were planning to leave Banta City or were hesitating on whether they should leave Banta City to find work elsewhere, but they all stayed and applied to join the Seveni Chamber of Commerce.
There were quite a few people who stayed and most of them were experienced workers from the various companies, but now they were all taken in by the Seveni Chamber of Commerce.
Moreover, the Seveni Chamber of Commerce had opened over ten factories at once, producing various household magic machines. There was a large demand for workers, so they were able to take in all the people who stayed.
In just a month, the factories that had been closed for half a year in the Falling Rain Valley were filled with the sounds of magic machines, becoming a very busy scene.
In just the blink of an eye, the Falling Rain Valley had returned to the situation when the New Flyer was still here.
Seeing this, the people who stayed in Banta City couldn't help feeling a trace of hope.
With her highness Seveni's appearance, Banta City might be able to return to its previous prosperity.
Although there were some people who were worried that the Seveni Chamber of Commerce would be going against the ten companies and the Seveni Chamber of Commerce would be targeted.
But because of her highness Seveni's guarantee and adding in the fact that since the Seveni Chamber of Commerce opened, whether it was the ten companies, the magic machine industry management department, the Royal Parliament, or the Royal Parliament, the people of Banta City had more confidence in the Seveni Chamber of Commerce.
Those fellows dared to go against the New Flyer without any fear, but even if they had more courage, they wouldn't dare use the same method against her highness Seveni!

"Too naive."
Xu Yi gave a sigh and put down the « Banta Times » in his hand. He looked in the direction of Banta City to the northeast with a complicated expression.
Before Seveni opened the Seveni Chamber of Commerce, she had met him and talked to him face to face. After that, she had contacted him several times to ask for his opinion.
Xu Yi was actually very against her doing this because she had already given up on fighting for the throne, so she should just live a secluded life in her territory. Why did she need to involve herself in the matters of the Lampari Kingdom?
But Seveni was very determined and already had some ideas. Xu Yi knew that it was impossible to persuade her, so he could only give up the idea of persuading her. He didn't give any suggestions and just followed her requests, doing what she wanted.
The Seveni Chamber of Commerce could be considered poor when it was first established. The reason why they could get on the right track in such a short period of time and produce their first batch of products in less than two months was all because of Xu Yi's support.
But Xu Yi wasn't optimistic about the Seveni Chamber of Commerce's prospects.
Although those fellows were worried about Seveni's identity and didn't dare deal with the Seveni Chamber of Commerce like they did with the New Flyer, those fellows definitely wouldn't allow the Seveni Chamber of Commerce to continue like this.
Even if they didn't use any rough methods, Xu Yi could think of countless ways to make the Seveni Chamber of Commerce unable to keep going.
Among them, there was a very direct and effective method that Seveni definitely couldn't deal with.
Xu Yi was very clear on the consequences, but he didn't plan on reminding Seveni.
First, even if he did, Seveni wouldn't believe him.
Moreover, Xu Yi hoped that those fellows would really use this method to make Seveni give up.
Whether Seveni was disheartened and returned to her territory to live a secluded life, or if she wanted to change the Lampari Kingdom, Xu Yi was very willing to see it.
The only thing stopping Xu Yi was his conscience.
"When capital comes to this world, from head to toe, every pore is covered in blood and filth." Xu Yi gave a sigh and looked down at his hands.
"My hands, it won't take long before they will be covered in blood and filth … …"
