Chapter Seventy-Four: "Negotiations"

The light in the narrow underground passage is very dim, and there is only a torch stand every few hundred meters on the stone walls on both sides for lighting, and because the air underground is very humid, the light from these torches seems to be bright and extinguished, and the dim yellow light through the fog condensed by the humidity renders the entire underground passage like an underworld leading to the realm of the dead

Any normal person walking through this passage will inevitably feel terrified, especially since the air in the passage still has a slightly stale smell.

But the four black-robed men turned a blind eye to all this, and they quickly passed through the dim light and the swirling wet fog without paying attention.

After walking for about ten minutes, the black-robed man in the lead stopped.

But at this time, the passage in front of them was not yet over.

"Is this it?"

"Yes, Priest, I have counted, and here is exactly between the twenty-fifth and twenty-fourth......"

"Hmm."

The black-robed man, known as the "priest", nodded slightly, then turned to the side wall, and from under his cloak stretched out a hand with a red metal glove, and knocked five times in a row on the wall in a strange rhythm.

When he finished his fifth blow, there was a sudden click of a mechanism in the center of the stone wall, and then an area about a man high in the middle of the stone wall caved down and slowly moved to the side......

Click......

After a few seconds, the mechanical door on the stone wall opened completely, revealing another space within it......

The five black-robed guests quickly rushed in, and when they were all inside, the door made another crunch, and then returned to its original state......

"Welcome, my friends!"

Five black-robed men stood in a relatively spacious and ornate hall, and in front of them, Mason Marjery, the contemporary head of the Marjery family, was greeted with a cheerful expression on his face.

There are a lot of coins and jewels piled up in various corners of the hall, and there are also some food that has been specially treated so that it will not spoil for a long time and is neatly stacked aside.

Apparently, this is supposed to be a refuge for the Magerry family.

However, a few black-robed men certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to think that this refuge was the only refuge for the Magerie family.

As for the old fox named Mason Marjery in front of them, they had to investigate a lot of things before they decided to come to him for cooperation.

"It's better to hear than to see, you really live up to your reputation, Lord Mason. Having brought us to such a secluded location to meet, judging from the distance we've just walked, we're probably no longer in Marjery's Manor, right? ”

The leading priest stepped forward and pulled down his hood, revealing a face wearing a half-gold mask.

"You have won awards and awards, you are as cautious as rumored, and you still don't want to show your true colors when you come here, do you not believe my Marjery family?"

Faced with the hidden edge in the priest's words, Mason did not fall for it easily, but threw the question back in a few words.

"Anyone I teach is not allowed to show his true face to others, even to the members of the sect, and Lord Mason please forgive me."

Seeing that Mason was not easy to deal with, the priest no longer played this kind of word game with him, but replied bluntly with forgiveness, which means: This matter is over, let's get down to business.

"Understand, understand, naturally understand, since it is Your Excellency's canon, of course I will not be reluctant."

Mason nodded with a smile, looking like a good old man who has everything to discuss.

However, he just did not talk about the formality of today's meeting first, obviously because he wanted the other party to speak first, so that he could take the initiative in the negotiations.

This is a habit that Mason has developed over a long period of time in politics and business.

In a negotiation, the party who first makes the offer will immediately be constrained by the other party, because they have given information that can be judged by the other party.

But Mason forgot that he wasn't facing his political or business rivals.

Since all of the Marjery's previous large-scale collaborations with professionals were directly conducted by Ron Margery, the legendary Taizu, Mason had no experience in dealing with such a negotiating opponent at all.

He did not know that in such a dialogue, especially when the other party to the dialogue was obviously not coming from the right direction, the initiative in the negotiation would never be changed by which party spoke first to put forward the conditions.

It is always the side with the big fist that dominates the negotiations!

The Marjeri family has lost the strongest of their clan, and they are a business family with few skilled professionals.

So in this conversation, the initiative was actually destined from the beginning not to fall into the hands of Mason.

Therefore, the priest with the golden mask did not even want to talk to the fat old man in front of him, and laid out his conditions very bluntly.

"For the Harvest Festival after half a moon, your Majeri family is responsible for finding a way to transfer the guards on duty on the northern wall, and pay for it to make the Harvest Festival even bigger, preferably to attract everyone's attention."

Faced with such straightforward and almost command-like "negotiation conditions", the head of the Majeri family was stunned for a moment, and then his face gradually flushed with anger.

"How can this be reasonable, my Marjery family is not your vassals and subordinates, how dare you speak to me in such a commanding tone?!"

“... It seems that Mason's 'Adult' still doesn't understand his current situation......"

The golden-masked priest spoke in a cold voice as he slowly approached Mason's side.

"Now there are seven professionals above level 40 in the Majery family, four people above level 50, two people level 60 or above, and one person level 70 level or above, and all of them are guards hired from outside, and none of them are members of the family.

The only one of these guys who is a slight threat to the three of us is the seventy-level professional, but as long as the three of us join forces, it won't be difficult to get rid of him instantly......"

"You... You ......" The cold sweat on Mason's forehead suddenly bubbled out like a spring, and it was not until this moment that he really realized that in the world of professionals, fists are far more useful than power.

"Oh! Also, if you're worried about what your death might cause to bother us, you don't have to worry about it... Because ......"

The priest suddenly stretched out his hand to a black-robed companion behind him, only to see that the black-robed man suddenly let out a cruel laugh, and then his body twisted, and after the twisting was over, his body and appearance had changed into another "Mason Marjery"!

Seeing this scene, the head of the Marjery family suddenly gasped, and then his face became extremely gray.

He knew that he didn't have any cards left in his hand to play.

Only by honestly cooperating with each other can we preserve the continuation of our family.

As for the rest?

Ay... Leave it to fate!
