Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Trading (Part 2)

Although Pekara had guessed Anvis’s background as much as possible beforehand, she still didn’t expect that Anvis actually came from one of the Four Great Families of the Empire!

That is the famed Unfallen Crystal Bird, the Olivendi Family! The true ruler of Karlars Province! The biological offspring of His Excellency Duke Carrot, renowned as the Frost of Winter!

Claire was also somewhat surprised, although she was not very familiar with the various powers of the Empire. However, she was not unfamiliar with Karlars Province when she studied the geography of the Continent, one of the Four Provinces of the Empire.

"Anvis, let’s cooperate!"

Coming back to her senses, Pekara’s face turned slightly red, but she couldn’t hide her excitement and became very agitated.

"So, what would you like to cooperate with me on, Miss Pekala Kromir?"

Anvis smiled elegantly, his deep blue eyes suddenly fixed on Pekara’s eyes, and his gaze unusually contained a hint of scrutiny.

As if to fully assess her value, to confirm whether she is qualified enough to cooperate with him—

"I... I have a certain influence with my father, and I can to some extent influence his decisions.

Moreover, I have the autonomy to mobilize some resources of the Chamber of Commerce, including tens of millions in total, in Empire Coins and Saint Messia Coins that can be utilized at any time..."

Being stared at by Anvis with a gaze drastically different from usual, Pekara felt as if she had been doused with a pail of cold water, her little face instantly turned pale, and she instinctively swallowed.

But she immediately forced herself to calm down and clearly stated her value, which made Anvis look at her slightly more highly.

"And, Lord Anvis, despite the Olivendi Family being immensely powerful, the family resources that you can truly control are probably only a very small part, right?"

Saying this, Pekara gradually calmed down, daring to counter inquire a bit boldly, and stealthily watched Anvis’s expression.

Anvis amusedly smiled slightly, gently nodding his head as if to acknowledge her point.

"Continue—"

"Well, when you need it, Anvis, all the resources I hold can be at your disposal.

Moreover, depending on the situation, I can even mobilize the resources of the entire White Rose Commerce Alliance to fully support your every action."

Taking a deep breath, Pekara quietly looked at Anvis, finally gathering the courage to state her request.

"As a price, I hope to receive your support during certain critical moments."

Although the White Rose Commerce Alliance is known as the largest Chamber of Commerce in the Gloria Empire, their current situation is not actually favorable.

Ultimately, they have developed in too short a time, just a few decades. It is solely by the alliance of three large commerce chambers that they rapidly became the largest Chamber of Commerce of the Empire.

In the face of various old powers that have been inherited for thousands of years, they still appear weak and powerless.

Not to mention the inadequacies of their foundation, even the powers within the alliance itself are not united.

Although on the surface they seem harmonious, in private, each of the three commerce chambers is thinking about swallowing the other two and completely removing the ’Alliance’ suffix from the White Rose Commerce Alliance.

While the Kromir Chamber of Commerce is the strongest among the three, its strength is still very limited. At this point, if they wish to truly swallow the other two chambers, they need to seek external support.

Not just the Kromir Chamber of Commerce, but the other two chambers are also looking for external help.

This external support cannot be too weak, nor too strong.

Too weak, not worth the invitation; too strong, then it leads to inviting the wolf into the house.

And Anvis, is a very suitable external support.

Firstly, he is born of the Olivendi Family, possessing sufficient background and strength to influence the final outcome.

Secondly, he is only one of the descendants of Duke Karlars and currently furthering his studies at Pamir Academy. He can only mobilize a small part of his family’s power, which meets the condition of not being too strong.

Pekara’s behavior is akin to investing in Anvis as an individual, rather than cooperating with the entire Olivendi Family.

"Securing my support?"

Anvis smiled elegantly, his body relaxing slightly as he leaned back in the chair, giving Pekara a deep look.

"Miss Pekara, although I personally have no prejudice against you, you should know the attitude of the Empire’s upper class toward you."

"Moreover, even though your father is known as the Chairman of the White Rose Commerce Alliance. But as I understand, there are a total of three chairpersons in the White Rose Commerce Alliance, right?"

"That’s exactly why I wish to cooperate with you, Anvis."

Pekara clenched her teeth secretly, nodding her head and looking straight into Anvis’s deep blue eyes without any hesitation.

"I know, Kromir Chamber of Commerce might not be qualified enough to negotiate a cooperation with the Olivendi Family. But I think, for you Anvis, the Kromir Chamber of Commerce should still hold considerable value."

Anvis silently tapped the table with his gloved index finger, appearing contemplative, as if analyzing the potential gains and losses of this matter.

In the Gloria Empire, the status of these major merchants is actually quite awkward.

Ordinary civilians and minor nobles look down on them, and so do the truly well-established major nobles.

Those with noble surnames either completely disregard them, considering them just a group of vulgar upstarts.

Or they plan to completely absorb them to augment their own family’s strength.

The Four Great Families of the Empire, which hold the right to mint coins, all belong to the former group.

Unlike Pekara who is partially informed about the situation, Anvis’s position allows him to see much more.

Due to the existence of Extraordinary Power, merchant convoys aiming for long-distance trade must be equipped with a large number of guards with substantial strength.

But if a Chamber of Commerce gathers a large number of Transcendents, it will become a considerably unstable factor, which is undesirable to the ruling class.

Thus, a Chamber of Commerce without a strong background, upon growing to a certain size, will face both subtle and overt suppression.

The three major Chambers of Commerce within the White Rose Commerce Alliance were forced to come together to form an alliance to face immense pressure from all sides that nearly suffocates them.

The benefits of accepting this deal are unmistakable; the family resources he can mobilize are indeed incomparable in business channels to the strength of the White Rose Commerce.

But his special identity means his actions do not just represent himself but also, to some extent, the will of the Olivendi Family.

Recklessly expressing support for a Chairman of the White Rose Commerce Alliance can easily provoke criticism, leading to a decline in the high-ranking family members’ impression of him.

The air in the room momentarily stalled, only the quiet burning of the candle with Ice Flower petals added to it remained, emitting a subtle and calming magic scent from the hazy whitish-blue light.

Apart from the occasional faint clicking sound, no other noise was heard.
