Chapter 227: The Chamber of Commerce of the Undead Legion Acting on Behalf of the King!

Captain Miles had long prepared for the issue of their identity.

“I’m the heir of the Kathy family in Fire City, Toby Kathy!”

“This lady is my sister, Gladys Kathy!”

Fire City naturally did not have the so-called Kathy family.

It was just a forgery made by the royal family for them.

However, it could be found in the files.

The distance between Water City and Fire City was too far. It would not be so easy to get to the bottom of this matter if one were to investigate.

“Nice to meet you! Both of you are rich and graceful. Your family must have a big business! I’ll go to the kitchen to check on the freshly made tea and snacks! Please wait a moment!” Sphinx was very polite with a smile on his face.

Locke and Belinda observed the people around them who were talking and laughing.

As a fashionable woman, Belinda could naturally recognize the purses and clothes of these people.

“They are all very rich people…” Belinda whispered in Locke’s ear.

Then, all kinds of tea and coffee from the hands of the barista were served.

“Hmm… This is the legendary taste. The Chamber of Commerce really has good taste!” Locke took a sip of coffee and praised.

Sphinx seemed to be very interested in Locke. He asked someone to bring his chair and sit beside him.

“Sir! May I ask what your Chamber of Commerce does? I see that the citizens of Water City love you very much!” Locke began to probe.

“My Chamber of Commerce does architecture! The president is a local. He has always been grateful to the people of his hometown, so he’ll do some activities from time to time to let everyone have a better life!” Sphinx answered appropriately.

“No wonder the Chamber of Commerce’s buildings are tastefully done! It’s a pleasure to meet you!”

“Not at all! The two of you came all the way to Water City to have fun. It’s really an honor for the people of Water City…

“Excuse me, does your family have a noble title? What business do you do?” Sphinx seemed to be testing them.

There was no title for this identity on the file. Locke immediately said, “Oh! Our family is just doing some ore business. We haven’t had the chance to get the favor of the royal family yet…”

The smile on Sphinx’s face grew wider. He personally poured coffee for the two of them.

Sphinx seemed to be very satisfied with this answer.

Just as both parties were exchanging pleasantries, the hall became even more noisy.

It was as if there was something that made them excited.

Soon, surrounded by a group of bodyguards, a man with his hair slicked back walked into the hall.

Everyone present, including Sphinx, stood up.

It was as if they were expressing their respect for this person.

“Vice President Harold!”

“Hello, Sir!”

The man named Harold smiled and waved his hand to show his respect to everyone present.

Then, he walked to the center and said, “It is the honor of the Undead Legion to entertain all the famous people in the business world! Please enjoy yourselves! The exchange will begin in an hour!”

So, there were two vice presidents.

This guy was obviously more popular than Sphinx.

Everywhere they passed, the guests stepped forward to shake hands.

Seeing that the siblings were a little curious, Sphinx explained, “Harold is in charge of some external affairs, so he often appears in public. And I’m the vice president in charge of internal affairs.”

“Oh…” Locke nodded and took out a small tea snack and put it in his mouth.

“Excuse me, where is the bathroom?” Belinda walked toward the direction of the bathroom under the guidance of the waiter.

She wanted to observe the structure of the hall.

In case something unexpected happened, she and Locke could slip away smoothly.

Half an hour passed quickly. The security personnel at the scene also closed the door and the curtains.

Everyone stopped their private conversations and waited quietly for something.

Locke was very curious and asked, “Mr. Sphinx, what is the purpose of the conference?”

“Oh… It’s like this. Our Chamber of Commerce has always had a business that I believe you will be interested in…”

Sphinx revealed a mysterious expression, but did not continue to explain.

Locke felt that they were really strange.

Just as he wanted to question further, the lights in the hall dimmed, and the other vice president, Harold, appeared once again.

“Clap… Clap… Clap…”

The scene was filled with applause.

It lasted for a full five to six minutes!

“Everyone! The exchange meeting begins now!”

Harold’s words received an even longer round of applause!

At this moment, Belinda also returned.

Under the cover of the applause, she whispered in Locke’s ear, “I used the excuse of going to the wrong place and walked around the hall for a while. Now, the outside is all guarded by security personnel, no one can come close to this place…”

This situation did not scare Locke, but he just felt that it was strange.

A simple afternoon tea had become like this?

Was it necessary?

“Everyone! Please take a seat!”

Everyone seemed to know that the other party was going to say something important, so they all sat down.

“First of all! I want to congratulate Mr. Fitzgerald! The president is very satisfied with his previous contributions to the Chamber of Commerce! He has obtained the title of Viscount from the royal family!”

“Pa… Pa… Pa…”

Fitzgerald was a guy over sixty years old. He went on stage with excitement and accepted the medal representing honor.

Belinda was stunned!

What kind of background did the Chamber of Commerce have that even the title of nobility could be obtained by others?

It was simply a fantasy!

Locke did not think much of it, but he immediately understood why Secretary Peter wanted them to target this organization.

He also knew why Sphinx would ask him if he had a title!

So, Sphinx was looking for a client?

“How interesting…” Locke laughed in his heart.

Fitzgerald shed tears of excitement and said into the microphone, “I’ve earned money all my life, but in the end, it’s more important to get the recognition of the royal family! Thank you, Undead Legion!”

Then, the man displayed the medal in his hand and the certificate signed by the king himself!

Fearing that others could not see it clearly, he let the service staff pass it by the table.

The others at the scene cast envious glances at Fitzgerald!

It was not that Locke could not figure it out.

Most of the people present were wealthy merchants.

Money was enough for them! However, their descendants might not be able to keep it!

On the contrary, obtaining a title was more stable. Leaving this for their descendants might be more useful than money.

When they were poor, they could change it for a large sum of money!

After all, the federal continent was a place where nobles ruled.

These titles were still quite valuable!

After seeing everyone’s envious eyes, Harold deliberately said, “Okay! Please continue to enjoy the food! For Mr. Fitzgerald… No! For the Viscount to have a good time!”

“Mr. Harold! I also want to contribute to the Chamber of Commerce!” A fat woman with a diamond ring on her finger raised her hand and said.
