Chapter 32: Shadows Emerge and Mysteries Ensue.
Ganlodros, one of the seven most prosperous cities in the Shang Kingdom, occupies the second largest area after the capital Van Rodak, and in this city, eight of the seventy-two chambers of commerce alone have their headquarters here, which shows the city's status in the Shang Kingdom.
It's been three days since Anson arrived in Ganrodros, and he wanders leisurely through the streets, looking at the bustling streets of the city, the merchants passing by, and all kinds of goods, and he looks like a tourist.
Originally, after Anson entered the city, he planned to go directly to the headquarters of the Sixteen Nights Chamber of Commerce, but Anson found that from the moment he entered the city, at least three groups of people were following him.
Therefore, Anson did not rush to the headquarters of the Sixteen Nights Chamber of Commerce, but took those people to wander around the city for three days, until just now, the number of people who followed Anson had increased from three groups to seven groups.
At this time, Anson sat outside a dessert shop next to the central square, leisurely drinking afternoon tea, he looked at the bustling crowd, and the children laughing and playing, indescribably comfortable.
"Mr. Anson Thomas?"
At this moment, a man's voice sounded, and Anson turned his head to see a handsome man in his early twenties, dressed in a merchant's costume and with short blond hair, smiling and walking towards Anson.
"You are?"
"Hello Mr. Anson, Sinbad Williamson, Vice President of the Babylonian Chamber of Commerce. β
Seeing Anson's eyes full of vigilance, the handsome man stretched out his right hand and introduced himself to Anson.
Hearing the man's introduction, Anson couldn't help frowning, because in the past few days, Anson has heard this name a lot.
The Babylon Chamber of Commerce, one of the largest chambers of commerce in the merchant country, cannot help but be among the seventy-two chambers of commerce, and it is one of the four major chambers of commerce thousands of years ago, which can be described as a behemoth with a long history.
And in recent years, a new star-like figure has emerged in this chamber of commerce, and that is the Sinbad Williamson in front of Anson.
Sinbad can't help but have a unique vision that is different from ordinary people in business, and his own strength and attainments in swordsmanship are far beyond the reach of others, and he can be said to be a man of the year among the younger generation of the Shang country.
Not long ago, the current president of the Babylon Chamber of Commerce, CΓ©saire Badu, announced in public that Sinbad would take over his position in the future and lead the entire Babylonian Union.
And now, this man of the year in the Shang Kingdom is actually standing in front of Anson with such a harmless face.
"Excuse me, may I sit down?"
Seeing that Anson ignored him, Sinbad still kept smiling gracefully and asked Anson.
"I said no, will you go?"
Anson said to Sinbad with a disgusted expression, but Sinbad didn't pay attention to Anson's words and sat down directly.
"Mr. Anson, you've been in the limelight lately. β
Sinbad sat down, looked at Anson with a smile, and placed a letter on the table.
Anson picked up and opened the letter, looking at the familiar handwriting on it, then at Sinbad in front of him, and then he put it away.
"Trust me now, Mr. Anson. β
"I didn't want to believe it even more. β
"Hahahaha, you're really funny. β
Sinbad laughed when he heard Anson's answer, and then he looked at Anson with a serious face.
"Excuse me, is there anything you'd like to ask?"
"How do you know I'm here, as far as I know, the headquarters of the Babylon Chamber of Commerce is in Van Rodak. β
"You're really welcome to ask for trade secrets as soon as you come up. β
"You asked me to ask. β
"Business Intelligence Network, many people in China now know that the Sixteen Nights Chamber of Commerce has received a sky-high commission, and after I received the letter, I guessed that you would come here, so I will wait for you directly here. β
"How much is my head worth?"
"Enough to buy the city. β
Sinbad pointed to the ground, looked at Anson with a playful look, and when he heard Sinbad's answer, Anson was stunned.
"Who is so big?"
"No one knows who the employer is, and there are a lot of bounties for you in addition to commissions, but my guess is that this can only be done on a national basis, at least on a national basis. β
Sinbad said this, and Anson's face sank.
"Empire, or kingdom?"
"I don't know about this, if you want to continue your investigation, you can only find the client through the Sixteen Nights Chamber of Commerce, but from the moment you enter this city, a lot of trouble has already swarmed into this city. β
β....β
"Although the Sixteen Nights Chamber of Commerce is not as good as the Seventy-Two Chamber of Commerce, after all, they have developed by relying on the business under the table, so in terms of force, they must not be underestimated. β
"Do you have more details?"
"I'll prepare it for you, and I'll be able to give it to you tomorrow afternoon at the latest. β
"Good. β
"But there is nothing I can do about those who come for the bounty. β
"I see. β
With that, Anson was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Sinbad.
"Mr. Anson, I have a deal here, I don't know if you're interested. β
"What deal?"
"I hope that the people in the Sixteen Nights Chamber of Commerce who are not involved in this matter will survive. β
"Why. β
"Since its establishment, the Sixteen Nights Chamber of Commerce has always been divided into two sides, the bright side is to do serious business, which is controlled by the president's faction, and the dark side is to do assassination business, which is controlled by the vice president's faction, and the two factions have not interfered with each other. β
"Since the death of the elder, the bright side of the chamber of commerce has been handed over to the only daughter of the elder, Julie to inherit the chairmanship, after Julie took the throne, has been committed to improving the Sixteen Nights Chamber of Commerce, hoping to eliminate the dark side of the chamber of commerce. β
"But in recent years, the dark side of the Sixteen Nights Chamber of Commerce has become more and more powerful, and Julie is alone, and the old president helped me when he was alive, so I hope that at least you can spare people who have nothing to do with this matter. β
"Can those who sit back and watch everything happen, stay out of it? β
"I can, in my capacity as the future president of the Babylon Chamber of Commerce, make this commission official. β
"If I don't accept that?"
"Then you are rejecting the Seventy-Two Chamber of Commerce. β
"Are you threatening me?"
Hearing Sinbad's answer, Anson's face sank instantly, and a murderous aura instantly enveloped Sinbad, and Sinbad, who felt this murderous aura, looked at Anbad without changing his face.
"No, it's just a simple deal, because even if you don't make a move, I will soon lead the Seventy-Two Chamber of Commerce and completely rectify the dark side of the country. β
Anson looked at Sinbad's calm eyes, and a nameless fire rose in his heart, and then Anson spat and got up to leave.
"I accepted the commission. β
Sinbad let out a long sigh as he watched Anson leave.
"It's really as the letter says, a man who turns his face faster than a book. β
After Anson and Sinbad separated, they made their way to the woods outside the city.
Not long after walking in the woods, Anson was stopped by a dozen men.
"Khiva"
Anson whispered, and a bewitching woman wearing a crystal crown and exuding a cold aura instantly appeared behind him.
"I'm not in a good mood to cool down the neighborhood. β
As soon as Anson's words fell, Shiva opened his arms, only to see that the temperature around him had plummeted, and everything within a radius of five kilometers with Anson as the center instantly froze.
After doing all this, Shiva slowly closed her eyes and disappeared into thin air.
Anson glanced around, then he walked into the woods, and after not far he saw a middle-aged man with a frightened face, struggling to escape, but the lower half of this man's body had been shattered by the ice, and it was impossible for him to survive.
"Rao... Plentiful... Bypassed... I..."
When the man saw Anson coming over, he said a few words with difficulty, but Anson looked at the man with indifferent eyes.
"How many people have begged you for mercy, and how many have you forgiven?"
Anson said as he slowly stepped on the man's head with his foot.
Burst.
Anson left the forest and returned to the city again, but this time, no one was following him anymore.
At night, in the conference room of the mansion of the vice president of the Sixteenth Night Chamber of Commerce, there were many people sitting here, and everyone looked at the person sitting in the first place with a solemn face.
This man's name is Duncan Ashton, and he is the vice president of the Sixteen Nights Chamber of Commerce, the master of the dark side of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Vice President, I think it's time to give up this commission immediately, the goal is far stronger than we expected. β
"Those corpses outside the city, although they are all miscellaneous soldiers who came because of the bounty, but there are many mercenaries with good strength, the target is only one person, and they will kill everyone, judging from the people we have left in the headquarters now, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the target's retaliation. β
"The feud has already been settled, if you give up at this time, won't the target retaliate?"
"In the afternoon, word came from Eyeliner that the target had been in contact with Sinbad of Babylon in the city, and perhaps we could use the president's relationship with Sinbad to reconcile with the target. β
"Then how to deal with the client's side, the target is indeed very strong, but can we afford to offend the client?"
"We really can't afford to offend the client, but now that the goal is close at hand, if we don't get through the current hurdle first, everything else is empty talk. β
.....
"Sixteen Nights is nothing more than that. β
While everyone was arguing, a cold female voice sounded behind Duncan, and everyone in the room was startled except Duncan.
I saw a woman in a black cloak walk out of the shadows behind Duncan.
"Don't panic, this is someone sent by the client to assist us. β
Duncan said to the people in the room with a gloomy face, and everyone frowned when they heard Duncan's words.
"Hee-hee-hee-hee, you just hide here quietly, and we'll take care of the rest. β
With that, the woman became one with the shadow and vanished.
After the woman disappeared, Duncan let out a long sigh and then commanded the crowd.
"Everyone stays here for the time being, and all the manpower is transferred, hoping that the people sent by the client can solve the target. β
At this time, Anson was sleeping comfortably in the hotel, but in the shadow of his room, a figure gradually appeared.
