Chapter 54: William's Mandate
The gladiatorial fight between King Kong and Van Ruhr lasted about half an hour in total.
Although King Kong was passively beaten for nearly ten minutes at the beginning, King Kong, who did not use his fighting spirit at all, fought with Van Ruer from the front, and even in the last few minutes, King Kong seemed to have hidden his strength before waiting until the end to suddenly exert his strength, and he beat Van Ruer to the ground without fighting spirit, and even some discerning people could see that at the end of the battle, King Kong, who did not use fighting spirit, had completely surpassed Van Ruhr in all aspects.
Being able to defeat an elite Dou Qi Warrior without using Dou Qi, whether this King Kong was due to some kind of special bloodline or because of some strange cultivation method, was an amazing enough fact.
At the end of the match, the crowd left the arena in a clamour, and almost everyone was discussing the final gladiatorial fight with great interest, although in the end, King Kong spared the half-beaten Van Ruhr and did not kill him, which displeased some of the blood-loving spectators, but everyone was still full of curiosity about this gladiator of unknown origin and mysterious strength but powerful enough.
"Huh...... Go back to sleep. β
Helo yawned, and in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, on the way back, she and Cheruth both put on their cloaks and hoods, and hid their wolf ears and tails, Rao was so, and her sleepy appearance still made several people who happened to pass by look at her in surprise, obviously not understanding why this beautiful girl was not excited at all after watching such an exciting battle.
Cheruth is similar to Herro, and she also stretches a lot of money, although she still cares a little about that King Kong, but after thinking about it, they probably won't stay in Kells for a few days, no matter what kind of secret that King Kong has, it is estimated that it has nothing to do with them, so they leave this matter behind.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, as she walked out of the arena door, she seemed to see a familiar petite figure under the street lamp at the corner of the street, but when she looked again, there was no one there.
Delusion?

Although the Seagull Chamber of Commerce is one of the top five chambers of commerce in the mainland, its roots are mainly distributed in the Freeport, the Kingdom of Loris and the Northland Alliance region further north, although the Prude Empire is also a large country adjacent to the Freeport, but because this is one of the earliest places where the Seagull Chamber of Commerce's sworn enemy, the Parsons Chamber of Commerce, was first established, and the power of the Parsons Chamber of Commerce is almost entrenched here, so the Seagull Chamber of Commerce's branch in Kells City is actually not developing well.
On the morning of the third day of their stay in Kells, William knocked on the door of the guest room where they were staying.
"Mr. William, may I ask what is the matter?"
Seeing that William's face was a little ugly, Cheruth was a little confused, so, what's wrong, even if Helo has drunk a little more in the past two days, he hasn't been crazy in the Chamber of Commerce?
Helo, who was sitting in the room looking at the door, moved her ears and intuitively told the cute wolf girl that someone seemed to be thinking about something rude to her.
"Good morning, Miss Cheruth, I'm sorry for not disturbing you and Miss Harrow so early, right?"
"It's okay, we just had breakfast too, and you're coming to Sister Helo?"
"Hmm...... Yes. β
Cheruth invited William in, and the three of them sat at the table in the guest room, and when they saw Harrow, William's face obviously changed for the better.
"Good morning, Miss Helo. β
"Good morning, Mr. William, is there anything wrong?"
"No...... Just to see if we have any inhospitable places these days, the branch is not the headquarters after all, and many places are not very complete. β
Harrow played with her hair casually.
"Fortunately, the slave family is not a person who likes to be picky, and the slave family has had a very pleasant time these days. β
"That's great. β
William paused, didn't continue, and his expression became a little embarrassed.
Harrow glanced at him.
"William, since you know that the slave family is a 'virtuous wolf', there's no need to beat around the bush or something, isn't it?"
William smiled wryly.
"That's the case, then, I would like to invite you two, I came today because I have a small request. β
"Request?"
"That's right, it's not me, it's a request on behalf of the Seagull Chamber of Commerce, I hope Miss Helo can have time to visit someone with me today. β
Helo raised an eyebrow.
β...... Do you hope that you can heal people with the help of the power of the slave family?"
William clenched his teeth and nodded a little ashamedly.
"Miss Harrow is a guest, and it is a bit rude to do so, but we at the Seagull Chamber of Commerce will definitely pay you enough. β
For the illegitimate son of the president of the Seagull Chamber of Commerce, Heluo, who considers himself an elder, feels that this is quite a sensible child, so although he is a little unhappy that the other party uses the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce to disturb himself who was originally just here to play, he still endures it.
"Tell me, what has happened to you?"
William nodded a little happily, since he asked him to explain what happened, it means that there is a high probability that Helo will agree.
"Thank you, Miss Helo, here's how it ......"
It turns out that as the two major chambers of commerce headquartered in the same free port, Seagull Merchants and Parsons Chamber of Commerce have always had a bit of a holiday. In the Prude Empire, the branch of the Seagull Chamber of Commerce has only been established for less than ten years, but the Parsons Chamber of Commerce has been operating here for nearly a hundred years, which can be said to be deep-rooted, but because the Seagull Chamber of Commerce set up a branch in Prude only to use the branch here as a transit station to be able to establish a stable trade route between the Freeport headquarters and the adventurer town on the other side of the Warcraft Forest, it does not want to and has no ability to threaten the status of the Parsons Chamber of Commerce in the Prude Empire, so although the two sides have some friction in Kells City, basically the Parsons Chamber of Commerce will not kill the Seagull Chamber of Commerce on the surfaceγ
However, this time, a batch of important goods of Seagull was seized by the official in charge when they went through the outbound trade procedures, and this official was obviously a secret chess piece planted by the Parsons Chamber of Commerce in the power organ of the Prude Empire.
"However, the slave family doesn't know the officials of the Prud Empire, so why did they come to the slave family?"
"The deputy director of the Imperial Exit Management Department who stopped our Chamber of Commerce caravan, he is on the side of the Parsons Chamber of Commerce, if we can get the minister in charge to speak in person, things will take a turn for the better. The Minister in charge is a very upright man, and has never accepted bribes, so he has not been bribed by the Parsons Chamber of Commerce, but we have heard that the Minister in charge of his daughter seems to have been suffering from a strange illness lately and is dying, and if our men can cure the daughter of the Minister in charge, then the Minister in charge will admit it. β
After William finished speaking, he looked at Harrow expectantly, and Harrow showed a thoughtful expression and did not answer.
"Looks like this shipment is important to you?"
Cheruth interjected, and William nodded with a heavy face.
"That's right, I'm ashamed to say that our branch has made a net profit of several times as long as it is shipped back to the auction house in Adventurer Town, but it has also exhausted most of the liquidity in the Chamber of Commerce. β
"How can there be such a coincidence......"
Chelus said, William was a little embarrassed, and he seemed to know that this time it was definitely a ghost in his chamber of commerce, otherwise the Parsons Chamber of Commerce would not have pinched their life so accurately.
This time, the Parsons Chamber of Commerce used the secret chess set up in the officials of the Prude Empire, and seized their goods on the grounds of cargo inspection, even if everyone knew that the Parsons Chamber of Commerce was playing tricks behind the scenes, but there was no evidence, the headquarters of the Seagull Chamber of Commerce could not compare this matter with the Parsons Business Accountant, but William himself, who had planned this gambling sale in the name of an illegitimate child, was afraid that he would never want to turn over in the Chamber of Commerce from now on.
Harrow looked at William's unwilling look and smiled slightly.
"You have to be clear, even if the slave family has some relationship with your Seagull Chamber of Commerce, it doesn't mean that you have to help whenever you encounter any difficulties. β
It sounded like a refusal, but William's eyes lit up.
"I understand that when it comes to compensation, we can give it up as long as our club can do it. β
"No, it's not that," Helo shook her head, "The slave family means that your problem is not this crisis, if the slave family helps you, it will inevitably cause some misunderstandings to some people, right?"
William was a little stunned, but Harrow ignored him and said to himself.
"Maybe you came to the slave family because you thought the slave family had the certainty that it could cure the strange illness of the minister's daughter, but you also had other plans, right?"
William's face twitched, then suddenly he smiled bitterly.
"It's true, what about the 'virtuous wolf'......"
Harrow didn't speak, just looked at William seriously, William sighed lightly and slowly spoke.
"Yes, I know that this time it must have been done by my brother's person who intervened in me, he wanted to completely destroy me, and if Miss Helo made a move at this time, my brother would think that Miss Helo was already on my side...... This is also my selfishness. β
In a sense, this can be regarded as William's calculation of Helo's plan, but after being seen through by Helo, the plan has gone bankrupt, and in the worst case, he may even lose the friendship of a strong person like Helo.
William was a little disheartened, but he was still a little impatient, and just as he was about to take his leave and think of other ways to make up for it, Helo spoke.
"Didn't you have any misunderstanding about the slave family?" said with a smile, "The slave family is just a sacrifice with no fixed residence, and the combat power is probably at the level of a six-star arcane mage." β
William was a little confused at first, and then suddenly figured out something, and his heart, which had already given up, suddenly became a little excited.
"Where, aside from the influence of the name of 'Virtuous Wolf' in the Northland Alliance, Miss Herro, you yourself said that you are a sacrifice, and the value of sacrifice does not lie in combat power, not to mention, when you helped the Seagull Chamber of Commerce nearly a hundred years ago, the name of 'Virtuous Wolf' has existed in the Northland for decades. β
William is really smart, he didn't directly discuss the topic of age with a strong female person face-to-face, but Helo understands that William is obviously saying that the strength of a strong man who may have lived for about two hundred years or even longer cannot only be a six-star arcane mage, after all, among the six-star arcane mages of the human and orc races, it is basically possible to reach a life span of two hundred years only if they are good at health preservation, and generally speaking, only those who have reached the level of a sage or hero can live to be more than two hundred years old.
William misunderstood this point, and the premise of his speculation was that Helo was a wolf orc of the orc race, but in fact, for a top-level magical beast like Helo that could transform into a human, the length of life span far exceeded that of humans and orcs, and two hundred years old was not a long time.
However, being able to think of this step also proves that this William does have some brains.
"Even if you are right...... But why should the slave family help you?"
"That's what troubles me the most," William frankly admitted, "and after a few days together, I can see that Miss Hero really has no desire for power and money, and even the desire of the average strong person for greater power, Miss Hero doesn't have much of itβah, I don't have any ill will...... I'm just going to say that I don't quite know what I have to attract Miss Harrow, but if I can afford it, I'm not going to be stingy. β
There is no desire to pursue stronger strength, which means that it is completely self-motivated.
Cheruth looked at Herlo amusedly, causing Hero to give her an angry look.
β...... To be so frank, you are also rare, well, you don't have to be arrogant, the slave family does have some conditions, as long as you can agree, the slave family can help you, of course, not only this time. β
