The prolonged silence made the atmosphere a bit oppressive, even the flamboyantly dressed ladies closed their chattering mouths and stood quietly.
In Gafura, there is no won’s rights movent, and the status of won is slightly lower than that of n.
In a male-dominated world, when their n close their mouths and show an inactive expression, it’s best for them to keep their mouths shut.
The attendants in the room also stopped their busy shuttling, and the sound of the orchestra’s performance lowered sowhat, seemingly affected by the atmosphere in the room.
People were reminiscing about Lynch’s words, what filled every word of it?
A kind of sharp montum!
The president of the chamber of comrce was the first to react, and he began to reflect on his behavior, realizing that in their attempt to embarrass Lynch, the ones truly embarrassed were themselves.
Lynch’s words echoed like thunder in an empty valley, lingering in their ears, making them feel ashad.
Applause began in one place, gradually becoming a continuous wave, even if people didn’t like Lynch, didn’t like the Federation and the Federation people, at this mont they had to show approval of Lynch’s words.
If you’re going to compete, do it boldly, don’t use so unsophisticated tactics that make your opponent look down on you.
Facing the applause from the people, Lynch smiled reservedly, nodded slightly, and bowed to express his thanks.
At this mont, he was the brightest star, so ladies looked at his handso face with slightly dazed eyes, clamping their legs tightly.
"Mr. Lynch, you are a very special person, your words are very enlightening!", the president of the chamber of comrce affird, realizing that any more lowly tricks would only bring more embarrassnt, and he abandoned those thoughts.
He was also convinced by Lynch’s aura, and after a heavy sigh, he put his mind right.
"I apologize deeply for everything you endured before."
Lynch also smiled and expressed, "I accept your apology."
"Mr. Lynch, your words have made reevaluate you and gained new insights into many things. I will respect your attitude, and I also hope you prepare yourself ntally..."
The president of the chamber of comrce pursed his lips, his expression very serious, "As your opponent, we will make every effort to snipe you, this is a homage to a warrior!"
Lynch nodded, "I understand, whether in Gafura or in the Federation, our goals are the sa, and I will also strive to secure the benefits I want."
Very much in line with today’s gathering purpose, this statent was actually more like a declaration of war, seemingly without gunpowder, but actually filled with the intense sll of it.
The president of the chamber of comrce laughed, slightly raising his voice, "Play so cheerful music, where are our girls?"
With the president’s command, the atmosphere of the banquet returned to its rightful state.
Watching so girls dancing in a very Gafura style on the stage, enjoying food and wine, people talked in subdued voices, as if in a ti of prosperity!
Early the next morning, the events of the banquet from the night before spread among the Gafura community, not only people in the Alia Region mostly knew about it, even people in the Empire’s mainland heard about it.
There are always those who love to spread these little tidbits.
In the Federation, people would say "Congress has no secrets", and in Gafura, there is actually a similar saying, and mbers of the chamber of comrce are not all on the sa side and don’t maintain absolute unanimity, inevitably there will be people spreading what happened from a bystander’s perspective.
Fortunately, the situation wasn’t too bad, although the president of the chamber of comrce made a fool of himself, he tily salvaged so of his image, to not be seen as a negative example, he must crush Lynch’s plans in the Alia Region.
As long as Lynch wants to compete for any project, they will follow up, using the various policies and subsidies given by the Empire to crush these Federation troublemakers.
They have no choice but to fight!
While the Gafura people were mocking these rchants, they also beca a bit more curious about Lynch.
The Gafura people also have a sense of heroism, from ancient tis to the present, there have been many legends of knights and heroes, Lynch’s performance was stunning, like the positive character in a knight novel, launching a desperate counterattack when besieged by enemies, seizing back control.
This performance made people feel joy, the arrogant Gafura people began spontaneously wanting to learn sothing related to Lynch, wanting to delve deeper into what kind of person this first foreign noble in the Empire’s history truly is.
These events took place in the Alia Region, as the Governor here Sedel was naturally well aware of everything that happened at the banquet, even within ten minutes after it happened, he knew what Lynch had said.
At this mont, his view of Lynch also changed slightly, turning him into a "troubleso and bold person".
After all, to pierce the heart of everyone with that naval battle that brought pain to so many Gafura people right in front of such a crowd of Gafura people, Lynch is indeed very bold, not only did he do it, but he did it without reservation, not sure whether to call him bold or reckless.
After pondering for a mont, Governor Sedel summoned Lynch two days earlier than planned, eting him in the study in the afternoon.
"Governor!"
Lynch stood in the middle of the study and slightly bowed to express his respect for Governor Sedel, before raising his head to look at the middle-aged man?
No, perhaps an elderly man, appearing to be around fifty years old. As is well known, one cannot simply gauge the age of upper-class individuals based on their outward appearance.
These individuals often look much younger than their actual age.
Lynch was sizing up the powerful governor, while Governor Sedel was also appraising Lynch, his eyes openly revealing a sense of astonishnt.
"You’re even younger than I saw in the newspapers!" said Governor Sedel, after Lynch greeted him over a minute ago.
Due to certain technical issues during printing, newspapers and magazines often lose so colors, with so newspapers being entirely black and white, making it difficult for photos to accurately reflect a person’s deanor.
Coupled with last night’s events, before eting Lynch, Governor Sedel’s impression of him was that of a sharp, opinionated, sowhat incisive young man.
But upon eting him face-to-face, he realized that Lynch was even younger than he had imagined.
Being young suggests a lack of maturity; even though Lynch’s attire and style leaned towards maturity, his youthful face easily betrayed his age at a glance.
"There’s a saying from the Federation that I want to share with you, Governor."
Governor Sedel slightly nodded, "What is it?"
"A person’s ambition has nothing to do with their age. So children can utter very impactful words, while so elders go their whole lives without saying anything bold."
Governor Sedel "chewed on" these words for a while, "Very wise words, the person who said this must be an extraordinary Wise Man."
In Gafura’s culture, they often refer to thinkers as "Wise n."
Lynch’s words were indeed a counter to the governor’s remark about his appearance, yet it also embodied a certain level of thought and insight.
A mont later, Governor Sedel gestured to the chair opposite the desk, "Please sit, Mr. Lynch, because you have not been formally bestowed your aristocratic title yet, I cannot address you by it, I hope you forgive ."
After saying that, he paused for a while. In Gafura, it is considered very rude not to ntion a noble’s title when addressing them.
"I didn’t et with you imdiately because I’ve had much work to attend to during this period. You know, this place is filled with anti-governnt, anti-Empire factions, I’ve been overwheld by these matters."
"I want to thank you for your assistance; your people are quick and precise in their strikes, they’ve even found so leads. I’m very curious, how do you train these people?"
Sitting in the chair, Lynch looked into the governor’s unwavering eyes and imdiately understood the question was not straightforward. Not just Governor Sedel, but dostic ministers and even the Emperor, surely know why Lynch is so fast?
No, they know, they even speculate that these anti-governnt ard factions are supported by Lynch behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could he find those people so quickly and execute precise strikes?
Yet he still asked this question, Lynch didn’t quite understand what he was after.
Compared to this feigning ignorance governor, the businessn at last night’s banquet, pretending to be smart, were much more endearing!
After a brief contemplation, Lynch answered, "Targeted training, Governor."
"Please forgive for using a perhaps unsuitable taphor to describe the relationship here, we know so dogs are suitable for hunting, they run faster and have keener senses."
"So dogs are very intelligent, they can help humans handle many tasks, such as herding."
"So dogs are very loyal, entrusting the door of the house to them can reassure any owner."
"Of course, so dogs aren’t good at anything, only fit to be ornantal dogs."
"Darkstone Security employees receive even more professional training than military training before taking their positions. Once these employees pass the training and possibly take on their roles, it ans they are elite among elites, capable of accomplishing many tasks, tasks beyond people’s imagination."
The governor nodded noncommittally, without showing any excess expression on his face, "You guys have done a great job, I’ve been praising your employees when communicating dostically."
"I’m very grateful for all you’ve done here, but I also need to remind you, Mr. Lynch, this is the Alie Province, the Empire’s territory."
"I know you Federation people have your own way of behavior, but that’s in your place."
"What I say may be harsh, I hope you can take it to heart, here, you need to adhere to our rules, your approach..." he shook his head, "won’t work well here, do you understand my aning?"
