Is It Funny That The Dragon Slayer Failed And Became The Dragon Princess? - Volume 2 Chapter 121

121. The New Chamber of Commerce’s Decision

The nobles in the New Chamber of Commerce were all puzzled.

Good news and bad news?

Judging from Arland’s expression, his solemn expression, it seemed that this bad news would be terrible. Everyone prepared for the worst.

“President Arland, let’s hear the bad news first,” someone suggested.

“Alright.”

Arland was silent for a moment and dropped a bombshell.

“The princess of the Royal Dragon Family has come to our Corolle.”

“What?!”

“That’s impossible!!”

“Why would the Royal Dragon Family come to our Corolle?!”

The president of the New Chamber of Commerce was like a stone that stirred up a thousand layers of waves. The nobles couldn’t sit still anymore, even the atmosphere at the scene became a bit out of control.

There was nothing worse than this.

Because these nobles were well aware of what they had done, and it was absolutely not something that could be made known to the Royal Dragon Family.

These were genuine crimes of deceiving the monarch. Forget about being sent to the guillotine, they might even have to play the game of wiping out nine generations.

“President Arland, is this the bad news?”

“That’s right, and the situation is even more complicated than you think,” Arland nodded. “You should all have heard about it. Some time ago, some incidents occurred at the Ascension Casino under our Elvin family.”

“Wasn’t that a provocation from the Cavendish family?”

“Of course, but under our joint suppression, the Cavendish family had long declined. Why would they suddenly dare to be so arrogant? Is there someone backing them up?”

Arland guided the nobles.

“And according to my son’s description of the situation, on that day, a silver-haired and silver-eyed young dragon appeared with the heir of the Cavendish family… and their family’s attitude towards that young dragon was very respectful. Who do you think could make the Cavendish family, with their ancestral glory, show such an attitude?”

“Silver hair and silver eyes…”

“That’s the bloodline of the Royal Dragon Family, right?”

“Has the Royal Dragon Family already known about our actions in Corolle, and wants to purge us?!”

Next, Arland continued to reveal an even worse situation.

“A few days ago, a major event occurred in the underworld of Corolle. The gangs of Corolle selected a spokesperson. That spokesperson quickly took control of all the gangs in Corolle, completing an unprecedented achievement in the history of the underworld…”

The nobles held their breath, all having a bad feeling.

Arland’s words confirmed all the speculations.

“This spokesperson is none other than that silver-haired young dragon.”

“President Arland, what should we do?!”

“That’s right. You said back then that as long as we formed the New Chamber of Commerce, all members of the New Chamber of Commerce would have to advance and retreat together!!”

“Our actions must absolutely not be known to the Royal Dragon Family!”

Everyone discussed noisily.

But among them, someone shouted loudly, “President Arland, you haven’t mentioned the good news yet. What’s the good news?!”

That’s right!

Everyone also realized this point.

The bad news is that the princess of the Royal Dragon Family has come to Corolle.

Then, there was still a piece of good news.

Arland, however, laughed, “Gentlemen, next, our Corolle… no, perhaps starting from the southern border, we are about to enter a new era, we will be the creators of this new era!”

The nobles couldn’t quite understand what Arland meant. What kind of good news was this?

Arland said unhurriedly, “The good news is that the princess of the Royal Dragon Family is fake!”

“Fake?!”

“Not real.”

“What’s going on?”

“Gentlemen, please sit down first, and let me explain slowly.”

Arland began to explain.

“In the past, you must have heard that someone in the south once impersonated the Royal Dragon Family to commit fraud, right?”

“Of course. You mean, this princess of the Royal Dragon Family is also an impersonator?”

“That’s right. This is a scheme made by the Cavendish family to intimidate the members of our New Chamber of Commerce! In the past, the head of the Cavendish family made a mistake and angered the Silver Dragon Queen. If it weren’t for their ancestral ties, he might have lost his life. He was expelled from the capital and returned to Corolle in a sorry state. How could the Cavendish family possibly have contact with the royal family, and why would they trust such a person?”

“This does make some sense.” Some expressed agreement.

“The Cavendish family thinks highly of themselves and unwilling to cooperate with us… but in fact, they have already fallen. Because they have seen the Royal Dragon Family, they used this tactic to have someone impersonate a member of the royal family to intimidate us and regain the right to speak.”

“Does that useless head of the Cavendish family really have such courage?”

“Don’t be deceived by his appearance. That guy has been biding his time and giving us a false performance to make us let our guard down. According to my investigation, the two heirs of the Cavendish family have been active in the underworld… and one of them has now returned. The emergence of a spokesperson in the underworld must have been a scheme laid out by the Cavendish family long ago. Lucius Cavendish, his scheming is quite terrifying.”

“President Arland, we understand what you’re saying, but these are all just speculations, right? Although the probability is small, what if… it’s real?”

“The real can’t be fake, and the fake can’t be real,” Arland said disdainfully. “Our Elvin family sent out Corolle’s top assassin. Her abilities are unparalleled. After investigating the truth, she brought back shocking news. That silver-haired young dragon is but a false impersonator!”

This angered the emerging nobility.

“Damn Cavendish family, how dare they scheme against us like this!!”

“To think we wanted to cooperate with them?”

“We absolutely can’t let them off!! Not only their family, but also that impersonator must be eliminated together!”

Arland laughed loudly. “That’s right. This is our opportunity to change the times! The clever are outwitted by their own cleverness. The actions of the Cavendish family are also an insult to the royal family. We can just execute them first and report to the capital later to gain their trust! Without any obstacles, we can freely promote the experience of our Corolle to other southern cities and open the door to a new era!”

Hearing this, the new nobles were eager to give it a try. They had long wanted to do this… The only thing they were worried about was the Cavendish family, who had connections with the Royal Dragon Family.

Now, the Cavendish family had delivered the handle themselves, which couldn’t be better.

“In the name of the current president of the New Chamber of Commerce, I propose to gather the Security Team members from Corolle and other nearby areas, as well as all the armed forces under the Security Team, to return to Corolle and purge the rebellious Cavendish family. Now, all members of the New Chamber of Commerce will begin voting!” Arland announced.

The final result was… unanimously passed!

…

Coo coo coo.

A pigeon flew over and landed on a window in the Cavendish family’s manor. A small note was tied to its foot.

Xia Yi walked over.

The pigeon stood still as if it had come to deliver a message to her, and only after Xia Yi took off the note did it flap its wings and leave.

Xia Yi opened the note and her eyes widened.

“What’s wrong, Princess?” Sera asked curiously.

“Thousand Kills has brought a quite incredible piece of news.”
