I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 206 Hostile Forces

In the meeting room of this family, a tense meeting was going on. A family elder stood up, his tone full of sarcasm: "Isn't this our head of the Liv family who is always causing trouble but not doing anything good? How dare you call us together for a meeting?" As Liv didn't make any money on this trip, no one would let it go, and they would always say something to stimulate her.

Since Liv became the head of the family, she has hardly received any cooperation from anyone in the family. Even for basic matters such as mobilizing family resources, she is not as smooth as an ordinary collateral member. In this situation, it seems that the success of every matter has become a miracle.

Liv bit her lip tightly. She could feel the distrust and contempt from almost everyone in the venue. Although Liv had gradually gotten used to this kind of treatment, she still felt a sharp pain in her heart every time she faced it. This was clearly her family, and she was clearly the head of the family.

Alpha, who was standing next to Liv, swept his cold eyes over everyone present. Alpha's voice was firm and powerful: "Mrs. Liv called everyone together because she has something important to discuss. I hope everyone will put aside their prejudices for the time being and listen to her ideas."

The atmosphere in the meeting room eased a little, but there were still many people whispering to each other, looking disdainful. Alpha still hoped to solve the problem through cooperation and negotiation. After all, this was Liv's family. Of course, if it couldn't be changed, Alpha wouldn't be polite.

Liv took a deep breath, she knew this was the critical moment for her to prove herself. "I called everyone here to discuss the future direction of the family." Liv's voice gradually became firm, "We all know that the family is facing a severe situation, asset issues in the north, pressure from the empire, and market fluctuations... We must make changes." Explaining the family's situation, Liv became confident, especially when Alpha's right hand was on her shoulder. This was the strength given by Alpha.

Alpha closely observed the reactions of the attendees. He noticed that some people began to listen carefully, but some still looked disdainful. Alpha decided to give Liv a firmer support: "The plan proposed by the head of the family, Liv, was well thought out. We need to unite and jointly deal with external challenges. If we continue to fight among ourselves, the family will only decline further."

At this time, a respected member of the clan stood up. He was an elder in the clan, and his words carried a lot of weight: "Master Liv, we have all witnessed your courage and determination. However, can you elaborate on how you plan to change the status quo? What we need is a practical plan, not empty slogans."

Liv nodded and answered with a focused look, "I plan to start by integrating family resources, including re-evaluating our assets in the north and exploring new market opportunities. At the same time, I will actively seek cooperation with other chambers of commerce to jointly explore new business areas."

"In other words, you still intend to focus your strategy on the South? The southern market has long been occupied by the machinery industry, and product prices have been pushed down to an extremely low level, with no profit at all. The northern market has huge potential, and we must not give up. Therefore, I object." An elder of the tribe was the first to raise an objection, and it seemed to be well-founded, leaving no chance for rebuttal.

"Yes, yes, the northern market is our main force, and let those poor people in the south be as they are." More and more people stood up and agreed. After all, businessmen pursue high profits, and the competition pressure in the northern market is small.

Facing everyone's doubts, Liv knew that simple discussion would not be able to solve the problem, so she made a prompt decision and said, "I will now hand over this matter to my captain of the guards, Alpha, to be responsible for the execution. Any problems will be handled by Alpha."

Liv knows that in the business world, sometimes decisive decision-making and strong execution are the keys to success. Liv has full confidence in Alpha's ability to find solutions to difficult situations.

Alpha not only possesses excellent combat skills, but also has keen business insight and decisive decision-making ability. Alpha has provided Liv with valuable advice at critical moments many times and successfully carried out a series of important tasks.

"I emphasize again, this is not a discussion, but something that has been decided. From now on, the strategic center of the Gust family will be moved to the south, and no one is allowed to have any objections!" Alpha's tone was firm, with an undisguised threat.

"Who do you think you are? This is the territory of our Gust family. It is not the turn of an outsider like you to point fingers! Get out!" A young member of the clan stood up and glared at Alpha.

"I am now representing the head of the Liv family. I have the right to decide all family affairs." Alpha's voice was deafening. At the same time, a large number of knights poured out from the conference room and surrounded the entire venue. Obviously, Alpha had already made preparations. He had no intention of discussing with these people.

"Liv, what do you mean? Do you want to attack us family elders?" A prestigious elder stood up, his eyes full of anger and confusion.

"I don't want to waste time talking nonsense. Now you only have two choices, either stay or get out of the Gust family. But whoever wants to leave, don't even think about taking anything away." Alpha's attitude was extremely tough, and there was no room for negotiation.

"Do you think you can solve all the problems with just these few people?" Another older tribesman stood up and questioned Alpha.

Alpha responded with unusual calmness: "I have enough confidence that it is enough for you to stay."

There was an uproar in the meeting hall, and everyone was talking about it. However, Alpha's decision had already been made, and he did not allow anyone to raise any objections.

"Boy, you are too arrogant. I have seen many people like you, and they all ended up badly." The elderly elder stood up, his tone full of disdain.

"Are you talking about your so-called guards? I have already dealt with them all." As soon as Alpha finished speaking, Monkey came out dragging those half-dead guards.

In order to deal with this incident, Alpha mobilized more than one hundred people from Gunn. So far, the number of black-armored people in the Gust family has reached two hundred, which should be more than enough to handle the affairs here.

"What exactly do you want to do? Can't we cooperate?" After realizing that the problem could not be solved with fists alone, the elders began to choose to cooperate.

"That's right. I only want half of the family's resources. Considering that the family's assets are all in the north, if you want to leave and take things with you, you must exchange them. Food, supplies, and minerals are all fine." This is Alpha's purpose. He knows very well that only interests can make people calm down.

"Impossible." All the tribesmen stood up angrily.

"Then you just stay here, we will treat you 'well'." Alpha showed a sneer, the so-called "well treated" was just a perfunctory word.

"Liv, you will become a sinner of the family. A hundred years later, how can you face the old patriarch in the underworld?" The elder roared, as if he knew that only Liv could speak to free him. Facing the executor in front of him, any explanation was false.

"So what? I will make the Gust family the top power on the continent, and you will have nothing to do with it." In the end, under Alpha's tough attitude, the family had to compromise and decided to split into two parts according to his proposal. Those who chose to stay in the north were not allowed to take any assets with them, while those who chose to follow Liv and Alpha to develop in the south could share the future benefits.

Although this decision caused a lot of dissatisfaction and controversy within the family, it also brought new opportunities to the family. Under the leadership of Alpha and Liv, the southern industry gradually grew stronger.

The turmoil of the Gust family was just a minor episode for Alpha. After the Hongmen Banquet, the elders of the family were controlled. They had no choice but to hand over the ransom and leave Ancient Ross to go north to develop again.

Surprisingly, Alpha's strong style actually attracted a small number of young people to stay. In the old family, these people were not taken seriously, but they realized that staying here might give them a chance to stand out.

Alpha also knew that the development of the Chamber of Commerce required a large number of talents, so he made important use of these people. Over time, these people gradually grew into the backbone of the Chamber of Commerce and made important contributions to the prosperity of the Chamber of Commerce.

With their talents and hard work, they have emerged in the Chamber of Commerce. Alpha has also given them full trust and support, allowing them the opportunity to display their abilities. In this process, the Chamber of Commerce has continued to grow and its business scope has become more and more extensive.

The addition of these young people has injected new vitality and creativity into the Chamber of Commerce. They have brought new ways of thinking and working methods, which have promoted the innovation and progress of the Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, they have also taken Alpha as an example, and have worked hard to learn his business philosophy and management experience, laying a solid foundation for the future development of the Chamber of Commerce.

Alpha's vision and talent management have made the Chamber of Commerce a huge success. Alpha's story also tells everyone that a leader's wisdom and vision are crucial to the development of a team. Only by being good at discovering and cultivating talents can a team continue to grow and achieve more brilliant achievements.

Alpha acted vigorously and with great strength and decisive actions, he successfully suppressed those difficult elders in just one day. Afterwards, he personally took charge for three days, during which time he repelled dozens of waves of mercenaries and guards who wanted to take advantage of the situation and successfully calmed them down.

However, the mission was far from over. Next, Alpha needed to comprehensively investigate the complex situation around Cross. After all, he was relatively unfamiliar with the area. His first task was to accurately distinguish between friend and foe.

Among capitalists and nobles, there is a difference between the enlightened and the conservative, the good and the evil. Alpha knows that in such a complex situation, clarifying the relationship between the enemy and us is the key to success. Alpha needs to carefully observe the dynamics of all forces and deeply analyze their goals and motives in order to formulate a more precise strategy.

During the inspection, Alpha will not only understand the local political, economic and social conditions, but also delve into people's inner world. Alpha understands that a person's external behavior does not always reflect his or her true nature, and only through in-depth understanding can one truly understand a person's true intentions. Therefore, Alpha will spare no effort to collect various information and communicate with people from different walks of life to obtain a more comprehensive and accurate understanding.

In addition, Alpha will also pay attention to local culture, traditions and values. These factors often affect people's way of thinking and behavior patterns, and have a significant impact on his actions. By studying local culture, he can better understand people's needs and expectations, so as to communicate and cooperate with them more effectively.

Alpha knew that completing this difficult task required great wisdom and keen insight, but he firmly believed that as long as he remained vigilant and conducted in-depth investigations, he would be able to find his own direction in the complex situation and lay a solid foundation for future actions.

Cross, this emerging city, is like a mottled painting, showing the interweaving of light and darkness. It is both a paradise for the rich and a purgatory for the poor.

The towering chimneys spewed out billowing black smoke, dyeing the sky into a haze. Sewage and garbage everywhere formed the background color of this city. The roads were crowded with people waiting for jobs. They had lost their land and could only rely on the capitalists' factories to make a living with meager wages.

In a city full of contradictions and conflicts, Alpha's mission becomes doubly difficult. However, Alpha knows that only with deep insight and precise actions can he stand out in this difficult struggle. He will move forward firmly and continue to explore until he uncovers all the secrets hidden by Cross and is fully prepared for the fierce battles in the future.
