When the moon is in the sky, it is the most lively time in the night market in Danmo City.

Far away from the hustle and bustle of the eastern corner of the city, not far from the coastline, there are many residences of rich and noble families. One of the mansions, with no decent views, is only a tall building in the middle. The building is more than ten meters high, but it is not surprising in this area, but there is no staircase in the whole building, only a huge hall on the first floor, and then the straight barrel goes up without any other shelter until the top. This design is very weird, and when you are in it, there is a large blank space on your head, giving people a feeling of emptiness and profoundness. There are tall wooden doors on all sides of the hall, and there is a fire pit with a diameter of five meters in the middle, and the rest is a marble floor, and there is a concave one in the middle, which is really strange.

At this time, the hall was lit with a fire, and a calf was placed on it, and the smell of meat mixed with the smell of spicy spices and strong wine aroma.

At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door, and a burly man entered. It is only in early spring, and people who come will show their chests and backs, revealing their strong muscles and looking full of strength. At this time, he carried a man in one hand, and threw it directly in front of everyone, half-pulled and half-dragged, and then sat down in front of the fire, pulled out a scimitar from behind his back, and ate the meat for himself, without saying a word.

The person who was brought in fell into a stumbling slump, and quickly got up and knelt on the side, but he didn't dare to move any more in a cold sweat, let alone make a sound. The hall remained silent. Time passed minute by minute, plus the stout man who had just arrived, a total of four people shared their food silently, as if they didn't notice that there was one more person in the hall. Soon, a whole calf got into the stomachs of several people, and I don't know how much wine they drank.

The one in the middle by the fire pond finally raised his head, glanced at the old man kneeling beside him, and asked aloud, "Isn't this the boss of the Silver Tree Chamber of Commerce, why are you kneeling there, and when did you come?" ”

He only asked how to kneel, but he did not let people get up, and the old man did not dare to move at all, as if he had been frightened stupid

"Fourth brother, let you go and invite someone, why did you invite you back like this?"

The eldest brother spoke, and the man who was drinking there alone arched his hand and did not explain.

"Boss White, get up and talk." At this time, one of the four people dressed as a scholar spoke.

"The villain doesn't dare, bosses, I know it's mine. It's just that Kaichun has already handed over the offerings of the Hague mercenary group, and there is no cash in hand at this time, so I really can't make it up for a while. Please let me have a few days, I promise, I will never miss an obsidian offering, and when the first batch of goods after the beginning of spring is sold, I will hand it in immediately. ”

The hall was still quiet, and it was like a year for the kneeling old white, who had long been soaked with cold sweat and dripping down, but he didn't dare to wipe it.

"Look, people are still sensible, it's this group of people in The Hague who don't understand, the fourth child can be polite to people next time, Boss White get up and speak."

The boss spoke, and old White finally stood up with a slight tremble, standing aside, hunched over.

"But old white, although we are reasonable, there are many brothers underneath, and you can't make them wait for a long time."

"Bosses, please rest assured, the little old man doesn't dare not care about this matter."

"Alright then, I'll give you a month of grace and come back."

After saying "the villain retreats", Old White limped out, but the speed was not slow, as if this was the land of tigers and wolves, and it would be safe to leave one step earlier.

The hall fell silent again, save for the occasional sound of firewood burning.

After a long time, the scholar was the first to speak: "Big brother, this old man is not honest." ”

"Hmph, we don't want much, how can a chamber of commerce like him not have these stocks."

"It doesn't matter, after all, we are outsiders, we have been operating in Danmo City for so many years, the relationship is complicated, the background is not necessarily weaker than us, and even we are really not necessarily comparable. The fourth brother is still reckless, you see that this person is soft and weak and has no backbone, and he looks like he is obedient and afraid of death, in fact, it is just a formality, and he looks at his legs and feet very fast when he goes out, probably he still treats us as monkeys in his heart. It's just spending money to buy a convenience, and it's not giving it to anyone. This is just a wait-and-see, if we destroy The Hague, it doesn't matter if he pays more, if we lose, he doesn't need to waste it, this is a qualified businessman, and it is a good thing to take care of business for us in the future. ”

The fourth child is the most grumpy, and at this time, he couldn't help but say: "Big brother, you said that we have been here for so long, why do you need to be so troublesome." Behind us is Peterson, that is a first-class giant, just send a few people over to destroy The Hague in minutes, where do you want us to toss around here. ”

The boss was not angry, this was not the first time he had heard this, he knew that his subordinates, who knew that the real backers, more or less had such thoughts.

"Hole cards can only be used at critical moments, and Peterson may not have the meaning of weighing our brothers. It's like an exam, if we don't use their resources to win it, it's more beneficial to us, if we rely on them to get it, then what's the point of us. At the moment, the priority is to take The Hague first, and the sooner the better. ”

The other two all had indifferent expressions when they heard this, only the scholar's expression was a little solemn.

"What does the second brother think?"

If it weren't for this kind of place, outsiders would never have imagined that this scholar was actually the second person of the Tiger Wolf Mercenaries. He was known for his wit, and the boss valued his opinions. At this time, the scholar shook the folding fan, thought for a moment, and then replied:

"We tried for a long time, using Peterson's information channels, but we didn't find out that they had any decent backers. Recently, I also checked the big merchant forces in the city, and I didn't find any interest bundling. It stands to reason that this is the right time to start. But the more I got to this point, the more unsteady my heart became. The navigation line in their hands is obviously a gold-making machine, and there can be fewer people who are greedy? How can it be our turn. And the Hague has been going on for twenty or thirty years, and the old foxes are even more secretive, and Peterson may not have the intention of treating us as cannon fodder. Do you want to wait for this? ”

When the boss heard this, his brow furrowed and he began to think.

While the hall was being discussed, the old white returned to normal soon after leaving, and did not look injured, as the boss guessed, he was not as unbearable as he appeared, but he still touched the cold sweat on his forehead. Because of the glance when he just went out, he saw a few people in the hall, the third child didn't say a word from beginning to end, and didn't even look at him, but he faintly always felt a chill on his body, and an invisible pressure locked in his throat. It's not that he hasn't seen the world, and he guessed that the third child is probably a terrifying assassin, and with his background, only a few people in the Chamber of Commerce have such terrifying pressure. This is the murderous aura, the aura of a top killer, this is the murderous aura raised by countless dead people. As soon as he left the mansion, his steps were fast, and the four people he saw today were several leaders of the Tiger Wolf Mercenary Regiment. This is a force that suddenly appeared in Danmo City, and it took only two or three years to dare to compete with an old mercenary group like The Hague. This also shows that they have the confidence that others don't know, and all he has to do is wait. As a deacon of the old Chamber of Commerce, in such a place, I have never seen any scenes, this kind of battle is nothing, but it is just to lower my posture. He patted the dust off his body and faded into the night.
