Chapter 227 There is no behind-the-scenes
What should come, always come.
While Timber Daddy began to prepare for the renovations, Airo noticed that more and more people had been coming in and out of the town lately. Moreover, it was still one horse-drawn carriage after another, carrying all kinds of decoration materials and began to drive towards the town in a steady stream.
This situation was somewhat unexpected by the members of Merfolk Song, but for Arrow, all he needed to do was try to show surprise and worry as much as possible.
On this day, when another wave of carriages drove into Pelican Town, Arrow finally couldn't resist the persuasion of the members and went along. Without much thought, it didn't take long to reach the location of the Honey Jar Guild.
"Come, come, come! Be careful! Put things down! This is a special crystal chandelier delivered from a big city! Smash one of the glasses and you won't be able to afford to lose even a year's salary! ”
The previous Honeypot Guild assassin is now directing the intersection, having the workers gradually lift the various things off the cart.
Soon, he saw Arrow and the others here, snorted slightly, and turned around and walked into the guild. It wasn't long before the viscount naturally stepped out and greeted Arrow with a smile on his face.
"What's going on?!"
To the surprise of the members, when facing Viscount Norris, the chairman of his own house shouted first. And the emotions are still very excited?
I saw that Arrow clenched his fists tightly, bit his lower lip, raised his head and looked at the tall nobleman hard, the annoyance in his eyes showed that he was already very angry.
Seeing Arrow's current expression and attitude, Viscount Norris smiled slightly, and said in a voice that seemed to be bathed in the spring breeze: "Oops, isn't this the president of the Mermaid Song?" Why do you have time to visit my guild today? Oh, could it be that you are really idle in space, so you want to come and discuss with us how to unite? ”
Arrow gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand again and pointed at the wagons that were unloading, and stomped his feet in anger: "I ask you, what's going on?!" Can you still leave a way for people to live like this? Doing business to the point where yours is not at all about making money! It's to deliberately disgust people, right? ”
For Arrow's anger, Viscount Norris seemed more relaxed. The smile on his face hadn't changed since just now, as if he didn't have any hatred for Arrow at all, and was just talking in a very businesslike manner: "President Arrow, what you said is a bit excessive. Although my guild was opened, I was in a hurry and couldn't handle everything properly, so I had to find one such house and clean it up and open it in a hurry. Now that I'm thinking about decorating it, why are you still being called disgusting? ”
Such prevaricating words were useless, and Arrow simply shook his head and said loudly, "Now you can tell me the truth directly!" You're targeting me on purpose, aren't you? Why are you targeting me like this? Is it just because I robbed you of your business once? Isn't it normal for you to do some business and some business for me to do in the business field? You're going to drive me straight to death because of this?! ”
Seeing Arrow's angry expression, Norris only paused slightly. The expression on his face changed slightly, as if he wanted to change from that commercial smile to another unknown expression.
But in the moment before the change, he still held back and continued to say slowly with that gentle smile, "President Arrow, I really don't know what you're talking about?" I'm going to deliberately drive you to a dead end? How is this possible? This world is full of business, you can do it, and I can do it naturally, didn't you just say the same? ”
Cut, this guy didn't confide in the mastermind behind it.
I thought that he would be able to start to be triumphant after this kind of provocation, but I didn't expect that this viscount's patience and city government were indeed much beyond ordinary people. Now the news that he actually spied on his side in turn has come.
Since there was no way to ask the main messenger behind the scenes, Arrow could only retreat, stomped his feet, and said viciously: "Your Excellency, I respect you very much, but I hope you can not go too far, leave me a bite to eat, and give our guild a bite to eat." I'll forget the news that someone from your guild came to spy on us a few days ago, but you also have to decorate when our guild wants to decorate, you know that under the same conditions, I can't decorate more luxuriously than you, and you still have to do this! It's clear what you're trying to do against me! ”
After going back and forth, Norris saw that he couldn't hear more from Arrow's side, so he waved his hand impatiently and said with a smile, "Okay, Okay, President Arrow, there are still many things on my side." If you really don't have anything else to do, please take care of yourself, and I'll have to direct everyone to get on with the work. If you have any questions......"
The Viscount raised his head, beckoned the assassin over, and said with a smile: "If you have any questions, just talk to Poison Needle, he is a veteran member of the guild, and he is also the de facto guild leader of this guild." He was familiar with these things in the guild. Then, I'm out of company. ”
After saying that, Viscount Norris turned around, didn't even look at Arrow, and walked straight into the guild.
Arrow was still angry, but when he just wanted to raise his footsteps to catch up, the poison needle stopped in front of him directly: "Hey! President Mermaid, since our boss doesn't want to continue talking to you, it's no fun for you to stop like this, right? ”
Seeing that this person was so rude, the cream behind him also involuntarily took a step. But for this Mermaid Song assassin who once started a chase with him, the poison needle was completely ignored. He just sneered and shook his mouth: "Your subordinates are defeated, what do you see?" ”
was directly insulted, and Cream did not make a move. He looked at the expression of Ai Luo next to him, and after seeing that his own president did not mean to make a difficulty, he also held back, lowered his hand, and took a step back.
Seeing Cream retreat, the poison needle thought that Cream was afraid of himself, and appeared even more arrogant. He crossed his waist with one hand and said very arrogantly, "What are you still standing here? Go back! I don't send it! Of course, if you want to be incorporated into our honey jar right away, we welcome that. What do you think? Do you want to join our guild directly? You might want to start by washing the toilet! Hahaha! ”
After some taunting, the poison needle turned around, and stopped paying attention to Arrow and the others, and began to beckon those who were working to continue to carry things.
And Arrow and the others saw that there was really no one to care about them, so they could only turn around and leave and return to their guild.
"It's just too deceitful!"
Upon returning to the guild, Cream immediately expressed complete dissatisfaction. He raised his fist, slammed it on the table, gritted his teeth, and said—
"If it weren't for the president's order that day, I would have beaten him to the point that his nose and face would have been swollen! I really don't know how Norris would send such a person to manage the guild! ”
Unlike the angry and depraved appearance before, Arrow looked very calm. He sat in his seat, took a sip of the black tea that Cocoa had just brewed, and said with a smile: "I think this method is very good." After all, for the Honey Jar guild, any nominal guild leader is just a puppet. Since it is a puppet, it is best to find someone who seems to be absolutely unconvincing and has no ambitions. This way, the guild members will know who the real boss is, and if there is a discrepancy between the actions of this guild leader and Viscount Norris, the members will immediately understand who to obey. ”
Compared with Arrow's ease, Brad on the side seemed a little worried. He scratched the back of his head, looked at Parfay, who was holding the tin fruit on his shoulder, and after thinking about it, he stepped forward and said, "President, I don't quite understand what you mean. What should we do now? The thing we want to renovate has been decided, and it has been one step ahead of the honey jar people. So what do we do next? Because no matter how much you decorate...... We can't be better than they are, right? ”
Arrow was glad that the big man could be so worried, but unfortunately, although this warrior was loyal to him, he could be a bodyguard, and it was still a bit troublesome to entrust him with things. The mouth is not strict, it is easy to be fooled, and he carries a flower fairy with him, which is very eye-catching wherever he goes.
After exhaling slightly, Arrow continued to keep the smile on his face and said, "You can rest assured of this. If the other party blocks the high-end route, then we must have other ways. Brad, you're the most powerful warrior in our guild, so make sure you're ready to fight whenever you want, understand? If you get it, go ahead and exercise. I'll come back when I have a job. ”
Brad nodded, although he was a little worried about Arrow's current situation, since the chairman said that it was okay, then let the president listen to it.
At that moment, Brad put on a smiling face again, happily ran to the training room, and began to do strength training.
In the same way, cocoa is not easy to arrange work. Arrow also asked the child to practice how to better control the staff in his hand. By the time she had left, Arrow looked at the cream in front of her and smiled slightly.
Cream also smiled, leaned back on the chair with both hands on the back of his head, and said expectantly, "President Arrow, what tasks do you want me to operate?" ”
