Chapter 193: Hysteria
“Uh, haha. What are you say—”
“Copper refiners must die.”
Caspar instinctively wanted to deny it, but Aoxi showed no mercy at all.
“Uh… I don’t—”
“Didn’t hear clearly? I said ‘Copper refiners must die’.”
“Cop-per, re-fin-ers, must, die.”
“Guys with impure desires toward minors should be tied to a post and blasted with cannons!”
“Got it, per~vert~?”
Aoxi didn’t hide her voice at all, and even fearing the other party wouldn’t hear clearly, she specially cupped her hands like a megaphone to amplify it.
Whether Caspar heard it clearly or not was unknown, but most of the people present did, and they all turned their gazes this way.
“Pfft~ So it’s the eldest young master of the Mediya Family~”
“Looks like the old habit flared up again, but this time he actually dared to reach out to the Beasts Pirates…”
“Well~ But it’s human nature too, after all, those three little girls’ appearances could make anyone lose their reason, it’s understandable.”
“What a pity Old Media was shrewd all his life, and in the end… tsk tsk tsk~”
Click~ Click~
Countless Picture Den Den Mushi were aimed at Caspar like gun muzzles.
President Morgans personally led the way, and the incessant shutter sounds around him easily tore through this inexperienced young master’s sanity.
【Furious from shame】, no word fit to describe the Mediya Family heir at this moment better.
“You, you brat! How dare you…”
Feeling the pointing gazes from all around, Caspar could no longer maintain his elegant facade.
“You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Do you know the consequences of provoking me?!”
“Without the Mediya Family’s nod, you really think your Beasts Pirates’ junk can sell?”
“Let me tell you, my men are about to complete the imitation of that pistol. Then your produced scrap metal won’t sell for a single penny!”
“If you want to keep a foot in the arms trade, your only choice is a marriage alliance with me.”
“You! That blue-haired brat next to you! And your sister! All three!”
After casting off the facade and unleashing all his pent-up thoughts in one breath, Caspar’s emotions slightly calmed.
Realizing his lapse, he took a deep breath, loosened his tie, and calmed his tone.
“Phew~”
“Cooperation benefits both sides.”
“After all, you don’t want to lose the market you finally gained, right?”
……
After quietly listening to the other’s speech, Aoxi was stunned for a moment, then…
“Pfft~”
“Haha~”
“You this guy~”
“Didn’t expect you to be such an interesting guy~”
“Hahaha!”
Caspar’s barrage of roaring, bluffing, and threatening words not only didn’t anger Aoxi, but instead made her clutch her stomach and burst into laughter.
“【You don’t want to lose the market you finally gained, right?】”
“Pfft pfft pfft~”
“Aiyo~ I can’t take it~”
“As expected of a copper-refining uncle, casually spouting such a classic line.”
“This is in my TOP15 of famous lines I most want to say!”
“That’s impressive! Hahaha~”
Seeing Aoxi’s complete disregard for his threats, Caspar’s just-calmed anger instantly reignited.
“You! You little bitch, wait for me! I’ll XX you and your two sisters together then XX!”
“Finally XXXXX!”
“And you lot!”
After venting at Aoxi, Caspar irrationally turned his spear on the other gloating guests.
“You guys standing there all high and mighty, you really think you’re righteous gentlemen?!”
“Pikolo, you pervert, you know how many corpses you’ve X’d!”
“And Field! Those human experiments you do in private are a million times more disgusting than mine!”
“As for you, Jigra, you this guy—”
“Enough!”
An aged voice stopped Caspar from recklessly spilling more dirt.
Old Media tremblingly gripped his cane, using all his strength to shakily walk in front of his son.
He’d only been away a few minutes, how did things develop like this?!
Old Media for the first time glared viciously with real emotion at Morgans, who was holding a Picture Den Den Mushi with a smiling face.
This birdman had just said he had connections in the North Sea, could help the Mediya Family move all business there with the fastest speed and minimal loss, then pulled out a bunch of complex intel.
He wondered why this guy was suddenly being so overly attentive today, turns out he was waiting for this!
Most hateful was that the birdman, to avoid suspicion, even gave a slightly higher but barely acceptable quote!
Then in the time he was pulled to a quiet spot to look at that intel, his son lost his mind and started self-destructing, and even after exploding himself, he had to splash shit on others!
Which of those onlookers could the Mediya Family afford to provoke?!
Normally he had to carefully smile when seeing these people, now great, probably never need to again…
Pitiful he was cautious all his life, just this one hasty moment might doom everything before and even the whole family to irredeemable ruin.
“Sorry, my son misspoke.”
“After the ceremony, I will personally bring him to apologize at each of your doors.”
“Cough cough, cough cough cough!”
Old Media had barely said two sentences before another bout of coughing, real or fake.
“Haha, young people~ Hot-blooded, everyone understands.”
“When I was his age, my temper was even worse.”
“After all, he’s the Mediya Family heir, a bit of arrogance is normal.”
“Old Media, you’ve got a successor now~ Yahahahaha!”
Anyway, whether the Mediya Family or Old Media, neither had long to live, so everyone said nice things.
Ignoring Morgans’ last gloating remark, Old Media turned back to Aoxi and the others.
“Really sorry, you two Beasts Pirates misses, my unworthy son frightened you.”
“As an apology, the Mediya Family is willing to cede all factories and sales channels in the New World, and fully cooperate with the Beasts Pirates to control the New World arms trade.”
Old Media bowed his head very low, even though the two little girls opposite were almost his granddaughter’s age, he unhesitatingly made the full gesture.
The current situation was almost irreparable, and as an aged 【magician】, he chose to perform what might be the last extreme operation of his life.
He would stake everything he had as chips.
This was the Mediya Family’s only chance at survival, and possibly a chance to soar to the skies.
With his family already eyed by these bone-chewing hungry wolves, only throwing himself to a more terrifying beast offered a slim chance of survival.
“What do you think, misses?”
Looking at this kindly old man’s flickering Soul Fire like a candle in the wind, Aoxi scratched her cheek, somewhat awkwardly saying:
“Uh… telling me this is useless~ I don’t handle these things.”
“This kind of stuff is usually handled by that guy Wright under Sister La, who has time to manage these business matters every day?”
“I, as an executive, am very busy.”
……
Good news: They don’t care.
Bad news: They don’t care.
