946 The Attitude of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce
“Hello, Mr. Chu Nan. I’m Lazakdo from the Noctem Chamber of Commerce’s External Relations Department, which is mainly responsible for matters related to the Perseus Arm. This time, I’m mainly responsible for the communication and consultation between the Chamber of Commerce and the local Kasha Kingdom regarding the destruction of the stargate of the Kasha Kingdom’s Merlinte Star System.”
The middle-aged man simply introduced himself and looked at Chu Nan with a strange gaze.
“Mr. Chu Nan, I know you.”
He was immediately stunned.
He said that he knew Chu Nan?
How was this possible?
This Lazakdo sounded to be one of the higher-ups in the Noctem Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, he was mainly responsible for matters related to the Perseus Arm. How did he know him?
Seeing Chu Nan’s surprise, Lazakdo smiled and continued, “Perhaps you don’t know, but in fact, there was already a report about you in our Chamber of Commerce last year. After that, the reports about you gradually accumulated. Now, you’re already an extremely special young martial arts genius that our Chamber of Commerce pays attention to.”
“Is that so?” Chu Nan asked and did not completely treat these words as polite words. After all, he had come into contact with the Noctem Chamber of Commerce many times in the past. Be it Director Yu Tingfeng who first came into contact with him, Tahm Kench who came into contact with him the most, or even Director Jiggs who kidnapped him here, they had already fully expressed the recognition of his value.
When he thought of Jiggs, Chu Nan’s heart stirred. He frowned and asked Lazakdo, “Director Lazakdo, since your Chamber of Commerce pays a lot of attention to me, do you know who brought me here from the Orion Arm this time?”
The smile on Lazakdo’s face paused for a moment, then he said seriously, “The Chamber of Commerce is conducting a detailed investigation of Director Jiggs’s actions in this incident. When the results of the investigation are out, they will definitely give you a satisfactory answer.”
“Oh? Your Noctem Chamber of Commerce wants me to wait like this and not know when you’ll give me an answer? Is this matter over?” Chu Nan deliberately raised his voice.
Lazakdo frowned, “Please believe in the credibility of our Chamber of Commerce. If it’s our responsibility, we definitely won’t reject it.”
Hearing that Lazak’s tone had loosened, Chu Nan immediately took advantage of the situation and continued seriously, “Therefore, the cause of this incident is all because of your Noctem Chamber of Commerce. Then, all the losses will be borne by your Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, your Chamber of Commerce needs to compensate me and Tiago and the others who were involved in this incident.”
Lazakdo looked at Chu Nan in surprise before suddenly laughing as if he had recalled something.
“Mr. Chu Nan, we learned the truth of the stargate’s destruction through the message sent back when it was destroyed. Regarding your role in this incident, be it our Chamber of Commerce or the Kasha Kingdom, they already know very well.”
Chu Nan’s expression immediately sank.
He had spoken for a long time because he wanted to push the reason for the destruction of the stargate to Jiggs, the former director of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce. He did not have to shoulder that astronomical compensation. However, now that Lazakdo expressed that they had already understood the truth of the stargate’s destruction, it was obvious that he did not plan to let Chu Nan have any chance to reject it.
“Then what do you and the Kasha Kingdom plan to do?” Chu Nan asked with a frown.
“I don’t know what the Kasha Kingdom’s plan is. As for our Noctem Chamber of Commerce’s decision…” Lazakdo looked at Chu Nan and smiled. His expression looked very relaxed.” The stargate was a very important star transportation node. Under the protection of the “Pan Milky Way Convention”, no one and no organization should easily destroy it. I believe you understand this, Mr. Chu Nan.”
Chu Nan nodded with a livid expression.
When Lazakdo said this, it was obvious that the Noctem Chamber of Commerce was unwilling to give up.
However, if he really had to compensate for the losses of the stargate… how could he afford it?
However, he also noticed something. Although Lazakdo deliberately emphasized the matter of the stargate, he did not clearly mention Chu Nan’s responsibility.
Perhaps it was because Lazakdo was more careful, but perhaps it was because the Noctem Chamber of Commerce had other considerations?
“Everything has to wait for our Chamber of Commerce and the Kasha Kingdom to investigate before we can come to a conclusion. Before that…” Lazakdo suddenly took a step back and bowed to Chu Nan, “Because the former staff of our Chamber of Commerce has caused you trouble, I sincerely apologize to you on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce.”
Looking at the serious expression of Lazakdo who did not seem to be joking, Chu Nan was immediately shocked.
He thought that this guy was here to find trouble with him, but he did not expect him to apologize to him so seriously.
“Ah… no…” Chu Nan originally wanted to habitually wave his hand to show that he was not polite, but on second thought, he frowned slightly and said seriously, “I hope your Noctem Chamber of Commerce can give me an explanation for this. It’s fine if this is Director Jiggs’ personal action, but if his actions are under the instructions of your Noctem Chamber of Commerce…”
Chu Nan sneered and stared at Lazakdo without holding back.
Lazakdo stood up and looked at Chu Nan before slowly shaking his head.
“The goal of our Chamber of Commerce has always been to make a fair deal with a clear price. If we need your cooperation, we will definitely have an official negotiation with you. We definitely won’t do such a thing. Please hope for the credibility of our Chamber of Commerce.”
Chu Nan glanced at him and sneered.
It was true that the Noctem Chamber of Commerce had always praised their credibility and the spirit of the contract. Moreover, they had always carried out this goal, but it was naturally impossible for Chu Nan to completely believe them.
However, these things were indeed not suitable to discuss here, so Chu Nan could not be bothered to waste his breath on Lasak.
Since Lazakdo did not pursue the responsibility of destroying the stargate on behalf of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, Chu Nan naturally would not fuss so much.
“Mr. Chu Nan, I believe it will take some time to investigate this matter, but if I ask you to stay in the Perseus Arm…”
“That’s impossible.” Chu Nan was immediately waved away.
“Of course, neither we nor the Kasha Kingdom have this intention. However, in order to investigate the truth, I hope you can stay in the Kasha Kingdom for a few more days. In addition, the Chamber of Commerce should send a representative to discuss some things with you in detail. I hope you can be mentally prepared.”
“Discuss some things?” Chu Nan frowned, “What is it?”
“This still needs to be decided by the Chamber of Commerce. Forgive me for being unable to tell you in advance,” Lazakdo replied with a smile.
“Is that so?” Chu Nan pondered for a moment and turned to look at Supremacy Oville who was still discussing enthusiastically with Elvy. He thought for a moment and nodded, “Alright, I’ll wait.”
