The young and promising director of Hoso, and Helen, the number one beauty in the department, seem to be an open secret. After all, his obvious admiration for the beautiful woman is not difficult to see.

After getting along for a period of time, even if he didn't pay attention to the affairs of his subordinates, Chongyang also roughly understood that several directors of the Central Division had more personal information.

The Hawso family in front of him, who pointed at his nose and shouted for challenge, was born in the Boone family, which was more than one grade lower than the Howason family, the leader in the association, and even the Alex Caron family of Daunes, but it has developed strongly over the years, and the younger generation is full of talents, many of whom have taken on important positions in various subject departments at a young age.

Hawso is also one of the Boone's talent explosions, and he is at the top of the list. At the age of only nineteen, he became the head of the scroll department, which is different from Chongyang's unreasonable airborne, and it is a real talent.

Originally, among the five directors of the Central Division, Huo Suo was the most optimistic one in Chongyang, all because of his similar age, and Chongyang's appreciation of the various scroll research reports he handed in, and he found a lot of subtlety, originality and talent......

However, today's scene is the one with whom he feels the most understanding of Horso @ Boone, because of his closeness to Helen, he was the first to turn his face after Ariade.

Chongyang's eyes were completely cold.

He stretched out a hand to stop Helen, who came back to her senses and wanted to say something, and said lightly to Hoso: "Do you know what you just said, Director Hoso?"

A simple question put a lot of pressure on Hosso. Young and prone to impulsivity. But at the same time as being impulsive, Hosso, who is not stupid, also clearly realized that the background of the airborne director must be very strong, and such a serious provocation of his own must have aroused the incomparable anger of the other party.

It would be foolish to say that there is no fear, but ......

Hawso swallowed, and in the support of his supportive colleagues, and in the face of Miss Helen's sad look (in the eyes of the young man), he finally strengthened his resolve.

"Of course I know! I'm challenging you! Director Chongyang, in order for Miss Helen to get rid of you, why not let me go out and go against you!" Hoso said with some righteousness, "Everyone knows that you have a deep background, but you have to understand that little people also have the dignity of small people!"

"Well said!"

"A person who relies on family power to rise to the top is actually just a mediocre talent!"

"If you don't dare to accept the challenge, and you want to oppress people with your background, you're a coward!"

......

The crowd of supporters of Hawso roared. Of course, some of them deliberately instigated, but most of them were the true voices of the lower-level members. Relying on the fact that there are many people now, they are also hot-headed and say what they think in their hearts.

After all, the directors and members present are the backbone of the Ninth Division of the Scroll Section. They don't believe that a big airborne director with an unstable foundation can do anything to everyone.

It's really the opposite. Chongyang looked coldly at the fanatical crowd in front of him.

I sat in the office looking at the information, and I didn't do anything, so I thought I was a bully?

Chongyang was disdainful in his heart, and at the same time, he also felt a subtle helplessness that he had become a class enemy that the "little people" had risen up to fight.

Little people also have the dignity of little people...... This sentence was actually used by others to rebel against himself? The complex meaning in Chongyang's heart is indescribable.

"That......'s good," he said coldly, looking into Director Hawso's eyes, "You come into the office with me and have a good talk! As for the others......"

Chongyang's eyes swept around, and suddenly made the people who were coaxing feel a chill in their hearts.

"Write down all the names! Gather people to make trouble during working hours, and don't pay attention to the rules of the department at all! They must be severely punished, not only must they have their demerits, but they must also deduct their wages for these two months! Including all bonuses, not a single point will be left!"

Extremely substantial punishment.

"Excuse me, Miss Helen. Remember, don't let any of them go. Chongyang turned to Helen and said in a serious and cold voice.

"Yes...... Yes......" Helen replied in a weak voice, bowing her head. Because of this accident by herself, she felt ashamed and didn't dare to face Chongyang's eyes.

Does he hate me? Thinking of this, Helen's heart tightened, and there was pain, and there was even more grievance.

Chongyang led Hawso into the Grand Director's office and closed the door.

Only Helen and a group of stunned divisions remained. Looking at these bastard men who caused a rift between herself and Chongyang, she immediately became angry.

"What are you doing in a daze! Line up for me and register!"

No matter how gentle a person is, there are times when he gets mad, and the more gentle he is, the more terrifying he becomes...... Under the raging anger of the great priest and the beauty who held the power of life and death of the nine divisions, the guys who were still menacing just now lowered their heads one by one, and were silent.

......

Inside the office. Chongyang didn't start talking immediately, so he let Huo Suo stand there and brewed black tea with his own hands.

Looking at the slow movements of the silent Chongyang, Huo Suo stood in front of the table, nervous and stressed, and couldn't open his mouth for a while if he wanted to speak.

The courage to be bold and mustered up was lost a lot after losing the support of the people around him. In addition, it was in a sensitive territory that meant the authority of the other party, and he felt more and more uncomfortable.

Young people, with their sharpness and impulsiveness. Chongyang didn't say a word, slowly brewed tea, drank tea, and didn't look at Huo Suo, just hung him for ten minutes, and just dried up more than half of the young man's momentum.

Ten minutes...... For the tense Hosso, it's simply ten years.

"Director Hawso. Seeing that the heat was almost over, Chongyang suddenly spoke.

"You like Miss Helen, everybody knows that...... But you're doing that's stupid. Do you think it will make her happy to bet on a duel in public?"

Horso was stunned.

"Maybe some little girls will like it, but think for yourself, Miss Helen is not among these women, even if you think it's for her good...... But to bring up this kind of thing in public is actually embarrassing her!"

Chongyang's tone suddenly sharpened, and he glared coldly.

"You're making Miss Helen the talk of the entire Ninth Division!"

Not from their own standpoint, but from the position of Helen, who the other party cared about.

Chongyang's sharp words directly stabbed Huo Suo's vital point, making this young man's face instantly turn pale.

"I ...... Didn't think so...... I didn't take Miss Helen as a bet......" he instinctively denied.

"Just because you think it doesn't mean that others think the same way. Chongyang sneered, his tone extremely disdainful.

"If I accept your challenge on the spot, then in less than a day, the news that the Central Director and the Grand Director will bet Miss Helen on the duel will spread throughout the Ninth Division. Think for yourself with your mind that shouldn't be too stupid!Is Miss Helen the kind of person who is happy to be the subject of other people's laughter, and to be the subject of other people's laughter, and to be pointed at and enjoyed!?"

Apparently not.

Quiet, gentle, low-key, elegant.

This is Helen.

Horso's face grew paler. He did things in one go, at the cost of great risks, and was wrong in the first place?

Wrong!

"This ...... It's all because of you!not me!" Hawso shouted hysterically, and once again stretched out his finger at Chongyang, shouting, "If it weren't for you pestering Miss Helen and forcing her to date you, I wouldn't have ......"

"Isn't it strange that the Grand Director is closer to the Grand Chief?" Chongyang sneered even more, "As for whether or not there was compulsion, you could have asked Miss Helen in person, but I won't let you do this stupid guy now, because your willfulness has already hurt her once, and I won't let this extremely rude guy question her again!"

Chongyang slammed the teacup on the table, startling Hoso and instinctively taking a step back.

"I accept your challenge!Hawso@Boone, but the bet will not be Miss Helen, but the position of the Grand Chief!Do you want it?I can let you, as long as you can beat me!" Chongyang said.

"Big ...... The Grand Secretary ......"

"You're on the same level as Ariad, no...... Worse than him. Chongyang said disdainfully, "But this time, I won't be so forgiving." Ariad is a special case, he loses, I just want him to shut up, but you ...... You have to make a bet with enough reciprocal price, otherwise, the duel will not stand!"

Hawso froze.

"Look at your expression, you know that you are not prepared to pay the price at all. You still want to say that you are not arbitrarily taking Miss Helen as a bet?" Chongyang sarcastically said.

At the time of Zhuoyang and Dawnes, he did not explicitly bet on Frilian because it was a sign of respect for women. Duel, only at the level of the two of them.

But a young man like Hosso, who is ignorant of the world after all, wants to act as a messenger of flowers with an impulsive sense of justice, but he makes a public speech that is extremely rude for women.

"Gambling with Miss Helen and saying that you are fighting for her? Ridiculous! Have you ever really respected her in your heart? What you want to be satisfied with is only yourself!" Chongyang's words were like knives, mercilessly slashing Hawso all over his body.

"No—I didn't—I didn't disrespect Miss Helen—" Hawso exclaimed, a cold sweat streaming down his forehead, "the stakes...... Price...... I have!"

The young man, whose face was extremely pale, seemed to have made a very difficult decision in order to prove himself, and slowly took out a shiny little thing from his bosom.

Ring.

It's not a space ring, but more like an ornament, a ring with dazzling blood-colored crystals. Faintly, you can feel the slightest fluctuation of magic from above.

Magic power fluctuations? Chongyang condensed and observed, confirming that this was not an ordinary demonic beast crystal nucleus, but a ...... Energy Crystals!

The so-called energy crystal is a naturally formed, precious ore that contains magical power like the crystal nucleus of Warcraft. Like amber, it has been formed over a long period of time, and is usually buried in dangerous wilderness, hidden deep enough to be extremely difficult to find.

Even the worst-grade energy crystals have condensed the essence of the surrounding environment for thousands of years for various reasons, and contain extremely pure and huge power, even high-grade demonic beast crystal nuclei cannot be compared. Because the Warcraft Crystal Nucleus not only stores less demonic power, but also the quality of its power is extremely mixed.

Energy crystals are rare and rare, extremely valuable, and extremely effective. The lowest-grade energy crystals can give a considerable degree of assistance to magicians when they are cultivating, improve the efficiency of absorbing elements, and even increase the speed of magic formation, so they are the treasures that ordinary magicians dream of.

"This is the 'Dragon's Blood' ring, and the energy crystal on it is polished from high-purity 'Dragon's Blood Crystal'. Holding the ring in the palm of his hand, Hoso said, "It has been passed down from generation to generation in my Boone family a long time ago, and now, the power contained in it has become very small, but it still has the effect of assisting the cultivation of magic power to a certain extent. ”

He looked at Chongyang.

"This is the wedding ring that my mother passed on to me, and it was used by my father when he proposed to my mother...... Now, like my father, I want to leave the ring to my future wife......"

He paused and didn't go deeper, because it had nothing to do with Chongyang.

"It should be worth about 100,000 amethyst coins on the auction floor. I think I'll take this as a price to bet on your position as the Grand Director......"

100,000 is a little less, but for the children of ordinary families, it is a lot.

Chongyang raised his eyebrows, a little contemptuous in his heart. Although he didn't have any crystal coin property, his space ring contained a blue smoke ice lotus worth hundreds of thousands of amethyst coins, as well as a priceless gentian Xuanling root.

This guy seems to have forgotten that just two months ago, he was a poor ghost who was struggling with thousands of amethyst coins......

Just as Chongyang was thinking about the balance between the 100,000 amethyst coins and the position of a great director, he suddenly heard the voice of the fire demon saying in his ear.

"You've got to get your hands on that ring. ”
