Chapter 126 Hit and Run

Princess Caroline's introduction to Xu Yi only lasted half an hour. When the convoy was about to enter the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the road was unexpectedly blocked.

Seeing that the road ahead was blocked by a specially modified magic car, and there were two fiery red magic cars of men in uniform standing beside them, Princess Caroline and Marquis Southgate looked at each other. At the same time, there was a hint of doubt.

This fiery red magic car is clearly the one that Seymour bought in Felois City.

Today, when heading from Black Rice City on the Black Rice Wasteland to the Principality of Standing, Seymour followed the convoy obediently at first, but before halfway through, he couldn't bear his temper and left the convoy by himself, from time to time Pick up speed, dash down the road, and get rid of convoys.

Since the route from Black Rice City to the Principality of Standing is simple, there is no need to worry about him getting lost, and he has already practiced his driving skills during this period of time, so the Marquis of Southgate simply let him go. I don't want to restrict him too much.

But now he was stopped by someone, why?

Princess Caroline glanced at the two young men in uniform and frowned slightly: "These two are security officers of the Duchy of Standing. It seems that Viscount Seymour may have committed something."

"Security officer?" Marquis Southgate looked at the two young men in surprise, and motioned for the driver in front to drive over.

The convoy stopped beside Seymour's fiery red magic car. Seymour, who was sitting in the cab with a disdainful expression, quickly opened the door, avoided the two security guards, and rushed over.

"Uncle Dayoren. How dare these two guys stop my car! I must teach them a lesson!"

Marquis Southgate's face sank slightly. He glanced at him unkindly. Then he looked at Princess Caroline, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Princess Caroline groaned slightly, nodded and said, "Master Marquis, let me handle it."

"it is good."

Princess Caroline got out of the car and walked towards the two security officers.

The two security officers originally had angry expressions on their faces, but when they saw Princess Caroline getting out of the car and walking over, they were immediately overwhelmed by her radiance, and were stunned for a moment.

"Two security guards. Hello." Princess Caroline smiled sweetly, pointed at Seymour behind him sideways, and asked, "Can I ask why you stopped my friend? Did he offend?" What rules?"

At first, the two security guards stared blankly at Princess Caroline, but they immediately woke up when they heard her ask this question. One of the security guards, who was a little fatter, coughed lightly and quickly regained his composure. Seriously said: "Ma'am, your friend just drove a magic car on the road in violation of the regulations, and hit another moving medium-sized bus magic locomotive. As a result, the bus magic locomotive rolled over due to damage , Many passengers in the car were injured. After the accident, your friend did not wait to be dealt with, and fled directly. Now according to the relevant regulations, we must go back for investigation."

"Traffic hit-and-run?" Princess Caroline frowned deeply, turned her head to look at Seymour, and then turned to look at Marquis Southgate, with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

The Marquis Southgate saw the look on her face and walked over.

"Did something happen?"

The Marquis of Southgate has been in a high position for a long time, so he naturally has an aura of majesty. The two security officers are also well-informed. They can see at a glance that he is not an ordinary person, so they did not dare to neglect him immediately, and explained to him in detail .

After listening, the Marquis of Southgate's complexion completely sank, he turned his head and glared at Seymour, then pondered for a moment, and said to the two security officers: "Both, this is my nephew's fault, I will replace him on his behalf." I would like to express my sincere apologies to the passengers in that car. I am willing to compensate the passengers who were injured because of this incident, which will definitely satisfy them.”

The Marquis Southgate waved to a follower behind him, and the follower took out a swollen money bag from his arms without saying a word and handed it over.

"Here is one hundred gold coins. I think it should be enough as compensation for those passengers."

The two security officers glanced at the purse, then at Marquis Southgate, with surprise on their faces.

Marquis Southgate smiled and said, "Don't be surprised. To express your sincere apology, one hundred gold coins is not much."

However, he didn't notice that Princess Caroline, who was on the side, had an extremely strange expression on her face when she heard this sentence.

The two security officers also had weird faces. After looking at each other, the fat security officer coughed lightly and said to Marquis Southgate: "This... sir, do you think the compensation of one hundred gold coins is a lot? ?"

Marquis Southgate was stunned: "Isn't it a lot? From your description just now, most of the passengers were only slightly injured, and only one had a broken bone. I think one hundred gold coins is enough to compensate for their losses."

After a pause, he continued: "Okay, if one hundred gold coins is not enough, then I can add another fifty gold coins. As for my nephew, since we still have urgent matters, it is inconvenient for you to take him back for investigation. "

The slightly fat security officer gave a wry smile, shook his head and said, "Sir, I have to tell you, don't say one hundred gold coins, or one hundred and fifty gold coins, even five hundred gold coins are not enough to compensate your nephew in The loss caused by this accident. And according to the regulations, we must take him back for investigation, please cooperate."

Marquis Southgate widened his eyes slightly in surprise: "Five hundred gold coins are not enough? How is this possible! Five hundred gold coins are even enough to buy ten healthy slaves!"

The slightly chubby security guard frowned: "Sir, you are not from our Principality of Standing? I tell you that there are no slaves in our Principality of Standing now, and your analogy is not appropriate. And to tell you the truth, five One hundred gold coins is really not a big amount. The injured passengers on the bus magic locomotive, I can be sure that each of them can earn two hundred gold coins at least a year. So many people were injured, plus the bus magic locomotive itself The loss suffered is far more than five hundred gold coins."

"Everyone can earn two hundred gold coins a year?" Marquis Southgate was completely surprised. "Is... is this possible? They are just ordinary civilians?"

Princess Caroline on the side couldn't stand it anymore, coughed lightly, took a step forward, and said in a subdued voice to the two security guards: "You two, to be honest, these two are the honorable president Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. As a guest, I also hope that you can be more accommodating. As for the compensation for the loss, no matter how much it is, we will pay it truthfully."

After all, Princess Caroline took out a golden ticket from her pocket and handed it over.

"Here is a thousand gold coins. If it's not enough, you can contact me through the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at any time." After a pause, Princess Caroline hesitated a little, perhaps because she felt that such empty words would not achieve any effect. After a while, he continued: "I am Princess Caroline from the Duchy of Drake, I think you should have heard my name."

The two security guards stared wide-eyed and shouted in disbelief: "So you are Princess Caroline! No wonder you are so beautiful! My God! I actually met Princess Caroline with my own eyes! I am so lucky! !"

Princess Caroline smiled slightly: "Thank you for your compliments. Then I would like to ask you two... can we leave first? President Xu should be waiting for our arrival now. Regarding post-processing, you can always go through Xinfei Chamber of Commerce contact us."

"this……"

The two security guards looked at each other, and the slightly fat security guard gave another security guard a hand. The two went aside and muttered a few words. After a while, the fat security guard came back and asked Caroline County The Lord said: "His Royal Highness, please wait a moment with your companions, we are trying to get in touch with Chairman Xu, and let him decide how to deal with it."

"Contact President Xu?" Princess Caroline frowned. "There is still a distance from the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? Then don't we have to wait here for a long time?"

"Sorry." The fat security officer smiled, but did not give any accommodation.

Seeing their resolute attitude, Princess Caroline had no choice but to accept it, and walked back to Marquis Southgate.

"Lord Marquis, I'm very sorry, we'll wait here for a while, they're getting in touch with Chairman Xu."

"How do I contact President Xu here? If I send someone back, it will take a long time?" Marquis Southgate obviously thought of the same question as Princess Caroline.

"Uncle Dayoren, why do we listen to them and wait here? Just leave. Don't they really dare to do something to us?" Seymour came closer and said nonchalantly.

"Shut up!" Marquis Southgate scolded him angrily, but he couldn't say anything more. After all, he was only the son of his old friend, not his own, and he could teach him a lesson at will.

After thinking for a while, he could only nod his head and said, "Okay, we are guests after all, so we should respect President Xu as the master. That's fine, maybe by dealing with this matter, we can deepen our mutual relationship with President Xu. between understanding."

Seeing a smile on the corner of Marquis Southgate's mouth, Princess Caroline's heart trembled slightly.

Xu Yi has always hoped to spread the magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the entire continent, so of course the two empires, the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire, will be the two most critical parts of it.

It seems that the progress of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Candela Empire has not been smooth, but now by chance, it has gained the attention of Marquis Southgate from the Maro Empire, and has the opportunity to promote the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the Maro Empire. .

If Xu Yi does not handle this matter well this time, causing Marquis Southgate's dissatisfaction, it is very likely to affect Marquis Southgate's evaluation of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi, and cause Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's products to enter the market. The Maro Empire is hindered.

"Xu Yi, you must seize the opportunity this time."

Looking at the Marquis Southgate who returned to calm and waited quietly in the magic car, and then glanced at Seymour who looked impatient, Princess Caroline prayed secretly in her heart. (To be continued..)
