Chapter 546: 188. Cape Holiday · Human Sentiments & Worldly Wisdom_2

He put his luggage on the sofa of the communication station, then slowly walked out of the ceremonial hall, found a secluded spot to connect communication. The next instant, the voice of Vampire Lord Murphy sounded from it.

"Hello there, the young master of Cape Family and the brave Major Fraser."

Murphy’s voice was somewhat distorted, with some interference.

This is the normal situation without the enhancement matrix for communication. Maintaining a conversation over such a long distance, even with the aid of the Calculating Pearl’s communication enhancement attachment, is a matter of luck.

"Hello, Lord Murphy."

Major Fraser courteously asked:

"Why are you contacting me? You got this private communication channel from Miss Milian, didn’t you? Please let my junior know that I am very unhappy about her disclosing my personal contact information without consent!

This is most improper."

"Milian only fulfilled her duty, so don’t hold any negative views towards her for this reason. After all, our conversation is not a waste of time, but a matter of business."

Murphy casually explained, then began to discuss the main topic:

"I just had a rather unpleasant conversation with Marshall Loren, but at least we reached some agreements. However, one of those agreements pertains to you, or to be precise, your family. Do you remember the battle that the Exploration Corps waged to destroy Westerburg two years ago?"

"Of course, I do. As the frontline commander, I personally participated in that battle."

Major Fraser said in a low voice:

"The fearless Xico Wing Cavalry has left me with nightmares that haunt me till now. But in that battle, we managed to capture the Prime Minister of the Posya Confederation and his entire administration. After that battle, the Posya Confederation fell into a state of chaos and self-infighting.

That battle was a turning point in the latter half of the ten-year war.

But I guess you’re not here to talk history with me, nor are you investing precious time to condemn us for using the Spiritual Energy plague weapon for victory.

Please speak straight, Lord Murphy.

Tell me what you need."

"Westerburg is not only the capital of the Posya Confederation, but also the industrial center of Transylvania and the Saxon Region. After you breached the city, you dismantled all the production lines and took them away.

From a military point of view, I can understand the necessity of this action. But now that Transylvania has reached an agreement with the Golden Flower Kingdom to prepare for the Black Disaster War, I need you to return those seized production lines to help Transylvania recover its primary weapons production and repair abilities as soon as possible."

Murphy said solemnly:

"Marshall Loren told me that the production lines of Westerburg have all fallen into the hands of the Cape Family. Of all the people I, as a marginal vampire, know, you are the only one who has some connections with the Cape Family. Therefore, I would like to ask you to help us retrieve those production lines.

The sooner, the better.

As an outstanding military officer well-acquainted with history, you must understand the importance of these things in resisting the Black Disaster. If Transylvania falls, your family’s home region of Anru will not remain unaffected.

Helping us is helping yourselves."

"Hmm?"

Major Fraser’s eyebrows creased.

Then, he said:

"I always keep away from the family’s business endeavors. Perhaps I can be of assistance, but first, I would like to know, what is Transylvania willing to give up in order to retrieve those war trophies that already have new owners?

Please think carefully before answering.

Please.

Don’t insult my family by offering money."

"Hmm, that’s exactly what I wanted to discuss."

Murphy’s tone became somewhat casual as he said:

"I am of course not naive enough to believe that you would donate without compensation. How could capitalists be so kind-hearted? I’m prepared to allow the Cape Family to establish any factory derived from those production lines in any region of Transylvania.

You can select the location, we’ll take care of land planning, workforce, and operations and construction, the Cape Family can appoint a financial officer to oversee the process.

For the first three years, 60% of the profits from these factories will be yours, and after three years, they will belong entirely to the Governorate of Transylvania."

"I beg your pardon, sir, but we could never accept such terms."

Although the major is not a businessman, his ten years as an intelligence officer quickly alerted him to the harsh conditions in Murphy’s offer. He shook his head and said:

"My father would probably assume you’re making a rather unfunny joke."

"Come on, young man, I haven’t finished yet."

Murphy laughed, then put more weight into his voice:

"Good, starting from the day of the factory’s production, all of the logistics materials required for the Black Disaster War in the entire region of Transylvania will be monopolized by you at 40% and we will not invite other merchants; we will only procure from you until the Black Disaster is completely over.

I got to know the rise of the Cape Family from Professor Malcolm, and learned from Cui Si about the hardships your grandfather faced when he was young and doing business with wool materials in the Kato area.

He did a small favor for Cui Si, so Cui Si shared with him information about an old treasure buried in the Anru region. Your grandfather found it and used that money to monopolize the wool and textile business in the Kato region.

The turning point for the then declining Cape Family came from this. To this day, the several textile mills there are important industries of the Cape Family.

Of course, I am not asking that you repay this favor.

I just want to say, monopoly is the secret trick through which your grandfather’s generation was able to make the Cape Family thrive. I once told another noble, that war is always the most profitable business, and the Cape Family is the absolute leader in this field."
