System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1050

"Welcome to my Laivaen City. Please take a seat."

'So, this is the rumored Marquis.' The merchants thought. They all had different opinions in their heads.

First of all, it was clear that the marquis was the youngest person in this meeting. Yet, there were a lot of rumors about his brilliance and slyness.

Still, it didn't change the fact that the four nobles had cornered him to the point where he had to beg for their help.

Some people thought that they could devour him. Some people carefully observed the situation and let the others make their move first. However, there were two people who feared him.

"I'm pretty sure that you have heard about the situation, so I won't beat around the bush. I gather you here to solve that problem." Noel opened it with a calm and collected tone.

"Goods," one of them answered.

"That's correct." Noel raised a finger. "In that case, I will say this once so as to not make you waste your precious time. Those who are unwilling to help me can leave right now."

"!!!" The merchants widened their eyes. In the first place, it was quite astonishing for the ten merchants to come here. Yet he didn't hesitate to expel them either when he was supposed to ask for their help.

"I apologize, Marquis. Aren't you asking for help?" One of them asked.

"Haven't I stated it in my letter? I invited you here to talk about the relationship between you, merchants, and my Ardagan family. I didn't force you to come." Noel shook his head calmly. It might be because he looked like he was cornered by those nobles that they forgot that even if they were merchants, the opposite party was still a marquis.

If it were only a Count, all these great merchants might be able to look down on him in this situation. But he was a high-ranking noble, not even an Earl.

He had to establish that fact first before they began talking.

The other merchants were quite shocked as well, but the two who feared Noel actually had a different opinion.

'Even if he is in such a situation, there is no way for a marquis to lower his head for us. However, it seems that he has riled up at least three people in this room…'

'No. This is actually an appropriate thing to do. At the end of the day, he is planning to expel those who are arrogant enough to ignore the difference in status. If they are too arrogant to acknowledge that, there will be no negotiation. After all, negotiation is only for those who are willing to talk.'

"If you are going to do this, aren't you afraid that you will anger the merchants in the kingdom?" One of the riled up merchants stood up while clenching his fists.
