A newly replaced exquisite crystal cup was thrown to the ground again by Myron and broke into pieces.

"What does our king mean by making Ronin the lord of Waiheke?"

Myron had to be angry.

As the overlord of the Screaming Sea, the Fleming family has long regarded this sea area as their own territory. Sometimes, even the royal fleet feels like a guest.

Well now, a second noble has actually appeared in the Screaming Sea.

Outsiders can see that His Majesty is trying to balance Screaming Island, and Myron can also see it, but he doesn't want to admit it in his heart.

"No, we can't let Luo Ning grow up."

Myron was angry for a long time and finally made a decision.

Jos asked: "Are you ready to take action against Luo Ning?"

Myron still shook his head, "Roning is now the popular one in front of Bruno, so we shouldn't take action directly."

He pondered slightly: "Let Blood Sail and White Whale grow stronger. From now on, if anyone wants to transport wood out of Waiheke Island or transport supplies in, let me grab it!"

What Myron wants to do is to prevent Luoning from running Waiheke Island well.

A deserted island posed no threat to him.

"Sir, this Luo Ning is still the Earl of Wubei Territory."

Jos reminded: "If Wubei gets a port in the future, he will no longer need to set off from Dennis Port, but can directly enter the Screaming Sea from the northern route and arrive at Waiheke Island."

Myron frowned.

If Luo Ning was just a baron from Waiheke Island, he would have a way to destroy the other party, but the key point is that he still has such a large Wubei Territory as his territory.

"We don't care about things on land, we only care about the sea. Let them keep an eye on the waters near Waiheke Island, and grab any ship that carries the flag of the Osan family!"

"An island baron who doesn't even have a few boats, give him time, and he won't be able to compete with us on the sea."

Dong dong dong~

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Sir, there is a knight named Tom outside who has sent a greeting card, saying that their master, Baron Ronin of Waiheke Island, wants to visit you."

In the room, Myron and Joss looked at each other.

They were discussing how to deal with Luo Ning, but they didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to visit them.

"Hehehe, I want to see what he wants to do."

Myron smiled and said: "If you accept the invitation, just say that I am here waiting for his arrival!"

That afternoon, Luo Ning sat on the carriage and drove towards the Fleming family's manor in Golden Feather City.

Although he had several conflicts with Screaming Island, the other party may even have participated in the assassination of him.

But what he has to admit is that he will not be able to compete with the other party at sea in a short period of time.

Waiheke Island wants to develop, and its main source of income is the sale of timber.

Ronin learned from Knight Vali that the wood from Waiheke Island was usually transported back to Niujiao Bay, and its sales targets were not only some merchants who made furniture, but the biggest one was the Fleming family, a bed dealer.

If the other party does not buy the wood from Waiheke Island, Luo Ning will need to spend his own money to feed the more than 20,000 people on the island, which is a huge investment.

This is not what Luo Ning is most worried about.

His greatest concern was that the Flemings would use their position as overlords of the Screaming Sea to seal off Waiheke Island.

Especially those pirates, if they specifically deal with merchant ships in Waiheke Island and Ubori Territory, this is a troublesome thing.

Although Luo Ning is not afraid of pirates, he can't follow them on the ship.

Just like the attack by the White Whale Pirates a while ago, if he hadn't been there at that time, Reese and others would probably have perished in the sea.

Therefore, when he submitted a greeting to Meron this time, he mainly wanted to use business methods to smoothly transport the wood from Waiheke Island.

Even if he doesn't make money, at least he won't lose money.

"Sir, the Fleming family's estate has arrived."

"good."

Luo Ning got off the carriage and was led into the manor by the servant at the door.

The Fleming family's manor is very large, with all the landscapes and decorations inside, and is several levels higher than Swamp Castle.

"Maybe at some point, I will also need to set up a Wubei Territory office in Golden Feather City or Niujiao Bay."

"Let's wait until silk, porcelain and other businesses are launched."

In the living room, Luo Ning waited for a while, and then a brisk figure walked in.

This man wore gorgeous clothes and had thick brown curly hair. His eyes were deep and bright, revealing a shrewd and alert light, as if he could penetrate the value of everything in the world.

In addition, Luo Ning also felt the fluctuation of magic power from the opponent's body.

It is said that the eldest son of the Fleming family is a great magician.

Myron smiled and said, "Haha, it is my honor to be visited by the distinguished Flame Knight and the Baron of Waiheke Island!"

Luo Ning also said: "It is also an honor for me to have the honor to meet Lord Myron today!"

The two of them were like good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. They held hands enthusiastically and exchanged several greetings before sitting down separately. There was no trace of any contradiction.

Next, Luo Ning repeatedly praised the strength of the Fleming family, while showing his admiration for the magic family.

Myron smiled and responded, occasionally reminiscing about the past with the Wushan family, but in his heart he was thinking about the purpose of Ronin's visit.

After a round of greetings, he didn't want to continue to compliment each other, so he couldn't help asking: "I wonder why the Baron suddenly visited today?"

Ronin slightly restrained his expression and became more formal.

"Your Excellency also knows that the only thing that Rapids Island can show off is wood. As far as I know, among the buyers of wood in previous years, the Fleming family is one of the largest customers. Now that I have become the master of Rapids Island, one of the purposes of coming here is to consolidate the cooperation with you."

Myron smiled secretly in his heart, he really came to discuss business.

However, although the quality of wood on Rapids Island is among the top ones, how could he continue to buy wood from the latter in order to curb Ronin's rise?

"Did Screaming Island buy a lot of wood from Rapids Island in previous years?"

Merlen said with a fake smile: "I'm sorry, Baron, the procurement affairs are usually handled by my retainers, and I don't pay much attention to it. But as far as I know, there are several sources of wood for Screaming Island."

His meaning is direct, not much more from Rapids Island, not much less from Rapids Island, and he doesn't have a strong desire to continue doing business.

"Lord Myron has a lot of things to do every day, so naturally he won't invest too much energy in these small things."

Ronin didn't expose it, and followed the other party's words and said: "If your Lordship is interested, you can ask your retainers to talk to me, and I can make a profit."

"Oh?"

Merlen raised his eyebrows, "How much profit are you going to make, I can let someone tell my business officer."

Vali told Ronin that the price of wood from Rapids Island was basically 7 to 9 gold coins per cubic meter in the past, which is not a low price.

Ronin looked painful: "I am willing to sell it to the outside world at a price of six gold coins per cubic meter!"

Merlen was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was still deep.

"I have some understanding of the price of wood. As far as I know, six gold coins per cubic meter is still a bit high, right?"

"Not so high, my Lord!"

Ronin explained: "The oak wood on Rapids Island is of top quality. Such a low price is purely to enhance the friendship between the Wushan family and the Fleming family."

"Friendship is friendship, and business is business."

When it comes to business, Mellen becomes more involved.

If he can buy goods from Rapids Island at a low price, then he doesn't seem to need to support forces on Rapids Island.

He raised his right hand and spread his five fingers: "Five gold coins, if you are willing to sell it to me at the price of five gold coins, then I will contract all the wood on Rapids Island, as much as I can!"

Ronin cursed in his heart, his face was in trouble, "Five gold coins, it's a bit difficult!"

If the other party lowers the price to four gold coins, Ronin will not make any money. But if it is set at five gold coins, three ships per month, there will be three hundred gold coins in the account.

The other party quoted such a price, obviously he had a deep understanding of the wood of Rapids Island.

"Five gold coins are already very good!"

Merlen said with a smile: "Although you have wiped out the White Whale Pirates, the Screaming Sea is still not peaceful. But as long as you use the banner of the Fleming family, the overlord of the Screaming Sea, it is equivalent to having invisible protection, and those pirates dare not provoke us."

This sounds very ordinary, but in fact it reveals a threat.

In other words, if Roning does not cooperate with the other party, the pirates on the Screaming Sea will attack the ships of Rapids Island.

"What I am looking at is the influence of the Fleming family on the Screaming Sea!"

Roning said without concealing: "Well, I can consider the price of five gold coins, but I want to buy two cargo ships and a warship from you at a preferential price."

"Hahaha, the ships of Screaming Island are the best among the major shipbuilders along the coast, and the price is also the most fair!"

The more Roning looked at him, the more he liked him: "Buying from me is your wisest choice!" (End of this chapter)
