Chapter 1177: Old Colleague

The Ronald trio didn't wait long.

Or - the other party did not dare to make them wait too long.

Pryor, the great merchant of Giorno, has also just become a member of the spellcasters, but with the advantage of his money, he is far more aware of the dangers of these spellcasters than ordinary people.

Especially the strong one among them, it is a monster that cannot be restrained by reason and common sense.

So when he got the news from the butler, the big businessman rushed over at once.

“……”

Pryor, who walked into the reception room, looked at the three Ronalds.

These are three magicians who look very young, and from the detailed analysis of their clothing and appearance, they are also the types who usually do not do manual labor, unlike the lucky ones in the city who have just become magicians from ordinary people.

Combined with the high strength shown by the other party before, Pryor, as a businessman, already had a preliminary judgment in his heart.

"Three adults, do you need me to do anything?"

It's not outright hostility, it's not an eccentric guy who has nothing to do, and Prior thinks that the other person has something to ask for is the most likely situation.

And the previous display of force should also be an act that only allows oneself to cooperate with the other party.

"You're right, Mr. Pryor." Ronald, who was sitting in the reception room, monitoring the change in the other party's mentality, also nodded in response at this moment, "I came here for the [Greed] slave you bought at the slave market last night. ”

“……”

Ronald was heard asking straight to the point.

Pryor thought for a few seconds, and then a confident smile appeared on his face:

"Three acquaintances who are under merchandise?"

"Although I can understand that you are from a very close relationship, after all, the slave trade is also a custom that has been passed down from Rooney's side for hundreds of years, even if it is ......"

Pryor thought that he had found the rhythm of negotiation, and was ready to use the tradition of the [Rooney Kingdom] to exchange interests with the other party.

Unfortunately, this kind of trick used by businessmen is not very applicable today.

He had only just begun his sentence when he was instantly interrupted by Ronald's serious voice full of intimidation:

"Mr. Pryor, you need to bring someone here now."

"The reason why I am sitting here is not because I want to negotiate with you inefficiently, but out of respect for life, so I don't take more direct measures."

“……”

Pryor's expression froze on his face.

Then he reacted quickly, and returned to his usual calm expression, but the slightly trembling fingers showed the nervousness in the big businessman's heart.

- My own judgment is wrong.

The three people in front of him...... At least this man sitting in the center.

It's definitely not something that can be easily solved with a conversation!

This attitude and look.

He had only seen it in the seven cult warlocks who ruled the entire kingdom.

Pryor realizes the serious fact that although he can still sit here and talk to the other party, in fact, his life is no longer in his hands.

This is not an ordinary person who can take into account 'regional customs' and 'public opinion' at all.

Rather, it is a tyrant who really declares dominance!

“……”

"Sir, I'm going to bring someone over, please wait!"

Pryor didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately got up and walked to the door.

At this moment, Heloise had a hint of a smile, but a reminder that did not make people feel warm at all came from behind:

"Pryor, you'd better move faster."

"And if you want to take advantage of this opportunity to escape, I'm afraid something will happen that no one wants to see—"

“……”

The merchant who had just walked to the door slammed his back.

Then he didn't say anything, except that his pace quickened again when he left, and he didn't do anything superfluous.

Until the footsteps of Pryor leaving disappeared in the doorway.

Heloise, who was still helping Ronald build momentum just now, turned her curious gaze to her side:

"Ronald, this way of completely overwhelming others with strength is not like the one I knew before?"

"If there's enough time, I don't mind taking my time." A wry smile appeared on Ronald's face, he actually didn't like his current style very much, "However, after that, we still have to catch up with [Grede]'s fleet, and it is better to consider efficiency in order to do things now." ”

Heloise nodded slightly in understanding.

Not to mention that the cause of Ronald's behavior at the moment is herself, only to say that the identity of Agent Heloise is also quite suitable for such an operation.

……

Next, Ronald and they still didn't have to wait too long.

Knowing the priorities, Pryor didn't dare to delay any time, and after leaving, he went to the slave warehouse, and it took him less than ten minutes to go back and forth.

It's just different from the posture when you left.

The merchant returned to the reception room, protected by three good spell casters, and behind him, no slave dressed as a man appeared.

What about the [Greed] slave?

The businessman in front of him should not have the courage to resist himself!

"Huh?!"

Ronald raised an eyebrow, his voice a little disgruntled.

Just without him asking, Pryor took the initiative to explain, his tone was both nervous and flustered:

"My lord, it's not good!"

"I just went to the slave depot to check on the situation, and it turned out that the [Grede] person I photographed last night has inexplicably disappeared today!"

“……”

- The other party's panic is faked, but the nervousness is not.

- And the guy didn't lie.

Ronald, who was monitoring Pryor's mental turmoil, immediately made a judgment.

Then he didn't care about the little Jiujiu in the heart of this big businessman, but walked directly to the reception room.

"Let's go and have a look at your slave depot."

When Pryor went down to check, Ronald had already confirmed the location of the slave depot through his activity track.

How can this guy be so familiar with his own territory?

Walking down the road, Pryor didn't dare to say anything but anger. He could only follow Ronald like an attendant, with his three bodyguards.

Soon, the group reached the basement of the apartment through a spiral staircase.

This is a whole row of underground prisons that are regularly distributed, and there are many 'goods' placed here at the moment.

However, in front of the trio.

The dungeon that was supposed to be holding the [Grede] spellcaster was empty.

“……”

"Wait, I look like I've found something!"

Heloise spoke suddenly, then walked into the dungeon and began to examine the corners.

It didn't take long for her to stand up again, and the expression on her face became very solemn:

"Ronald, this is the modus operandi of my old colleague."

"He was taken away by [Entrode] agents last night!"
