Pat Clark felt that he should be the last person to arrive here. Although he had always hated the behavior of being late, the clan of the Clark family was that time is equal to money, but the damn shuttle failure delayed nearly half an hour. He seriously suspected that there were competitors who were messing around.
It may be from the outside world or from the inside. After all, in the family, the patriarch attaches great importance to this matter, and he has also put a lot of effort into receiving the errands.
If it is done well, then the next executive committee will likely have a position. As a member of the Clark Dynasty, being able to get to this position is considered a success.
Of course, the premise is that it must be done well.
When he arrived at the huge mahogany door, Pat used his hand to tidy up the luxurious red thick velvet robe, and made sure that the family's badge was correctly worn in his position, and then raised his hand.
The guards on both sides pushed open the door, and the representative of the Shangren ronin walked into the hall with his professional smile.
As he expected, everyone else was already there.
This is a very luxurious conference hall surrounded by a circle of snow-white marble columns, with portraits dotted on the walls. Between the columns are flower beds decorated with natural plants. Looking up, you can see the colorful dome. As always, it is a story of saints and angels. Under the dome is a ring-shaped stone conference table, and in the middle is a burning brazier, which makes the air here look a little dry.
As soon as he looked up, Pat first saw Benito of the Lillard family. He had seen this person more than a dozen times, but there was no intersection. In the shootout, the Lillard family and the Clark family had some old grudges. More importantly, they were active in the same star area, and there were naturally fierce commercial competition. The history of both families was similar, and they were both outsiders. They had cooperation in the initial stage, but after the size gradually grew and defeated the original Xingshang Langren Dynasty in the star area, the two families naturally turned against each other.
The family sent Pat to Decapolis. In addition to getting the cake of Orps, the more important task was to block the Lillard family.
At this time, Benito was holding a wine pot and pouring wine into the wine glass with a smile, as if he was bragging to the people around him how he climbed up all the way, from an ordinary crew member to the captain's position.
Pat chuckled and took the wine glass handed over by the waiter. The lean young man calmly poured half a glass of wine for him.
Apart from Nenito, the most conspicuous one here is Gal Baker.
Although Pat knew almost nothing about him, as long as he was willing to spend money, some basic information could still be purchased, including name and preferences. After all, they have been to the Olps place for a while. The first thing they did was to inquire with each other, so others must have known his information.
Goll has been eating all the time. Generally speaking, businessmen have factors such as glitz, pride and optimism, but it is rarely reflected in their appetite.
But Goal is very special. He likes to eat and likes all kinds of delicacies. He may also exercise regularly and does not look bloated. Instead, he is burly. He is paired with a robe with striped fur, like a king of a barbaric world.
Sitting opposite the big man was Helicata Nancy Waters, a strong middle-aged woman with a fat face like a wheel, small round eyes and glasses, an axle, a boundless hoodie, a hair short and uneven, and a book is always on hand - Pat believes that it is more about displaying than reading.
Now, she is trying to outperform Gole in terms of knowledge about Space Marines, and she is telling some history, including the great achievements of the Astral Knights and their devastating sacrifice, and seems to want to express her efforts to understand this great battle group.
In Pat's opinion, this has a sense of flattery, but it is very clever and will not cause disgust. If there is a Space Marine of the Astral Knight listening, it will definitely instinctively form a little favor towards her.
Although it is a little, it can sometimes form an overwhelming advantage in key decisions.
This also fits Helicata's identity label, a master negotiator.
"... There are even rumors that during the pilgrimage to Terra, the commander of the Battle of Soshyan Alexei entered the mysterious throne hall and received the blessings of the God Emperor himself, so that he could be so invincible. Many missionaries are proclaiming that he came with the God Emperor's mission of saving the world, and will lead mankind to be great again in the future."
Helicata said, opening the book in his hand and taking out a photo from it, which was a planet surrounded by steel orbits.
"It is said that now the Nesson galaxy has become a pilgrimage place, and many believers who believe that the commander of Soshyan Alexei was the savior will try to go there. There is also the rumor on the planet that he received the divine revelation when he was a child. We have a devout family member who had been there twenty years ago. He was my uncle and brought this back to me."
Then she took out another pendant with a double sword crossing and a ring of fire surrounding it.
"This is a gift he brought back. It is said that he bought it from a gift shop run by a senior servant of the Knights' Chapter. The clerks all look fierce and fierce, resulting in no guests. However, my uncle met a passionate missionary there and heard a lot of glorious deeds about the great savior, including the story of him beating the great traitor to the point of falling flowers and flowing water on Pai Shangxing."
Watching Helikata talk loudly, Gore just nodded, took a sip of wine, and tried to control the conversation.
Finally, the person opposite Nenito, a thin, sharp-necked guy, looked at the cunning and merciless clothes, wearing rings on his fingers, and looked like a full nouveau riche.
Hernandez should be the shortest-historical family here. Although they claimed that their ancestors could be traced back to the Great Expedition of Glory, their history in the Jurdis Star Zone was only less than two thousand years old, and their early style was very barbaric and greedy, and they were completely different from the Shang Dynasty and were more like a group of pirates. Many people suspected that the family's contract was snatched from the real Shang Dynasty and pretended to be Shang Shang.
Of course, that's the case, but no one can confirm it. Moreover, the Hernandez family quickly gained a foothold and expanded their power with their cunning wrists and cruel aggressive style. Even the fake ones have become true now. After all, no one can verify it.
"Ah, everyone, sorry for being late."
As Pat walked over with a smile, everyone else casted his own meaningful eyes at him.
The most aggressive one was of course Benito, who looked at Pat mockingly and then raised his glass.
