"Ladies and gentlemen, the fish has taken the bait. ”

Vincent's Chamber of Commerce, in the gorgeous living room illuminated by the light of the magic guide lamp, a fat man who looked very rich sat on the main seat of the long table in the living room, his small eyes were almost squeezed into a slit by the fat on his face, and the characteristic shrewd look of a businessman flashed, but the words that came out of his mouth next had nothing to do with the mall and business.

"It seems that our Royal Highness is not a complete fool, at least he knows how to call back his last subordinate in military power to confirm his loyalty as soon as possible. At least we don't have to worry about the threat of the Guards in the future, and if we're lucky, maybe His Royal Highness will be kind enough to help us hold back the Royal Guards in the city of Loris. ”

If Sekaria had been here, she would have been surprised to find that the fat man who was talking in a disdainful tone about Prince Naris, the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor of Lloris, was the same fat president of the Vincent Chamber of Commerce whom she had met once on the street more than half a month ago.

But at this moment, the fat chairman's face was completely gone, and the ridiculously timid petty citizen temperament on the street at that time was completely gone, but more like a conspirator with a wisdom bead in his hands.

In front of the fat president, sitting around the long table in the private reception room inside the Vincent Chamber of Commerce were a group of people dressed in a variety of clothes, two who looked like ordinary mercenaries, two who were covered in black cloaks and covered their faces with hoods, two cute girls who looked ordinary, and a bald man with muscles all over his body.

No matter how out of place these guests may seem to be in this rich and wealthy parlor, the fat president doesn't seem to care. A cup of hot tea and a few small desserts are placed on the table in front of each guest. If it is an uninformed person who sees this somewhat strange scene. Nine times out of ten, you will guess that the fat chairman is entertaining some personal friends who have arrived from afar.

At the very least, without hearing their conversation, probably no one would associate the discordant but devoid of any sneaky atmosphere in front of them to a conspiracy that was about to shake the whole of Loris.

"Uncle Vincent, why are you so sure that Naris can control the lieutenant of Fort Guard?"

The one who spoke was a black-haired young man sitting on the left hand seat of the fat president, and the young man was dressed very much like the poor thief scouts in the ordinary mercenary team, but the young man's conversation and temperament were obviously not comparable to ordinary mercenary thieves.

"You know, that His Royal Highness can be said to be being rectified by his brother at the moment, and as far as I know, there is no one in Loris who thinks that he will have any chance of turning the tables now. ”

"That's just what most people think. Gurney," said Fat President Vincent, smiling at the black-haired youth, "I've been the one in charge of dealing with Naris all these years, and I know our Royal Highness very well, he doesn't have great talent and wisdom, but is keen on intrigue and calculation, and I have to say that he is really capable in this regard." That officer named Clark is a close confidant of Naris, who has been single-handedly promoted over the years, and such a person has no possibility and ability to betray Naris, if Naris is really a fool who can't even control such a henchman. He was also not qualified to fight for the throne with his brother for so long. ”

Gurney nodded, trusting Vincent's judgment. It's like before the Kells Rebellion two years ago. If he thinks that he knows the second thing about the Purud Empire among his people, no one dares to say that he is the first, this fat businessman who is ostensibly just the president of the emerging chamber of commerce in Loris has accepted the order of the Great Elder to lurk in Loris since nearly ten years ago, and has single-handedly established the cooperative relationship between the Nolan clan and Prince Naris, for the plan to be implemented in Loris this time, as long as he thinks it is feasible, then it is the best plan guarantee.

Gurney soon had a new question, though.

"By the way, Uncle Vincent, you just said that if we are lucky, Naris will help us hold back the Royal Guard, do you mean that Naris may be able to launch an attack on the royal city on his own after the operation begins? But even if Naris can control the power of Fort Guarde through that henchman, it should already be his last hole card, and he should not be so stupid as to think that he can take the royal city with the army of Fort Guard, right?"

Vincent was not unhappy with Gurney's successive questions, but instead looked at Gurney with tolerance and relief, and then shook his fat head.

"Sharp, but not thorough, or rather, not experienced enough, dear Gurney. ”

As he said this, Vincent smiled mockingly.

"There are many reasons why people can do things that seem like they can't do anything, stupidity is just one of them, and there is a more common reason, which is madness...... I've been running a chamber of commerce since 10 years ago, and I've probably seen as many dangerous fights and dangerous outlaws as you kids, but I've seen too many gamblers, especially the crazy gamblers who have lost to the end of their lives and still count on the last bet to make a big comeback. Unfortunately, our dear Royal Highness is not much better at this point than the vagabonds in the casinos, and they all think that no matter how much they have lost before, if they press hard enough to feel good enough for the last time, they will definitely win back, although as a prudent businessman I do not like this kind of practice, but only this time, if Prince Naris can make this bet decisively, I think I will praise him for the only time. ”

So saying, Vincent tapped on the fat hand on the long table, and his fat fingers, like coarse sausages, tapped on the table, and then spoke as if he had made up his mind.

"Hmm...... Although Naris will have completed his mission by then as long as he ensures that the troops of Fort Konoguard do not come out to hinder us, if he has more ideas on top of this, perhaps we should not refuse the kindness of our loyal ally......"

With that, Vincent hesitated slightly. Then, with a solemn and respectful look on his chubby face, he turned to the two mysterious guests sitting on his right hand, whose whole body, including his face, was wrapped in a black cloak. To be precise. Vincent's eyes were only looking at the mysterious visitor closest to him.

“...... Explorer, I want to confirm with you...... No, don't get me wrong, I just thought of a way to spur Naris into his guesses and block more pressure for us, but I need to know you before I can do that...... How far can we go?"

As the mastermind of the Nolan clan's upcoming plan at the Loris Elemental Festival this time, Vincent has a very respectful attitude towards these two mysterious black-robed people, and does not have the slightest strong attitude as a decision-maker. And Gurney and the others, who were also members of the Nolan clan and were specially summoned by the Great Elder from other places to assist Vincent because of this action, did not feel that there was anything wrong with Vincent's attitude, and looked at the black-robed man sitting on the top right with respect like Vincent.

There was a moment of silence, and then from the shadows under the hood of the black-robed guest who everyone was watching, the hoarse and vicissitudes of an old man's voice came.

"President Vincent's meaning, the old man can almost understand, as long as President Vincent needs the support of those nobles, then you will definitely get what you want. ”

As if to confirm what the old man said, at the moment when the old man's words fell, the black-robed man sitting next to the old man raised his hand. The hood on his head was slowly removed, and the hood was hidden in the shadows. A handsome face appeared in front of Nolan's eyes.

"President Vincent, you have to believe that more than a month is enough time for a family heir to completely control the resources of the entire family. ”

If it would have surprised Sekaria to know that Vincent, the fat president who had been in a relationship, would appear at such a secret meeting to discuss the conspiracy against the Loris Elemental Festival, then the face that appeared in front of everyone around the long table now may have shocked the blue-haired princess Ji like never before...... No, not only Sekaria, but the nobles of the entire Loris Kingdom, I'm afraid they will feel completely unbelievable after knowing that this person appeared in such a secret meeting.

Vincent looked at the blonde young man in front of him, a satisfied smile on his chubby face, but his little eyes didn't seem to look at him with any scruples.

"Then I can rest assured, worthy of being a subordinate of Lord Explorer, with all the power of the Mana family, we can do more. ”

The young blond man, Eders Mana, smiled, and this smile was neither the hypocritical sunny smile that he used to have in front of people, nor the arrogant or lewd feeling in front of his cronies, but it made people feel a hint of femininity, like a poisonous snake bewitching its prey.

"Rest assured President Vincent, my dear Mana family will stop at nothing to help this project...... Prince Naris will soon see what he wants to see, and the actions of the Mana family will make his madness burn completely. ”

Vincent nodded, then turned to the black-robed man above.

"Lord Explorer, the success of this plan is really thanks to you and your subordinates. ”

“...... Where, President Vincent, you don't need to thank the old man, the old man and Elder Wissinger have a long history, and even if there is no request from an old friend, the Nolan clan has been the most reliable friend and ally for the old man and the old children all these years, and the old man is just trying to add to your already perfect plan as much as possible. ”

"You're being too modest. ”

Vincent said, nodding to Eders on the side, before turning to look at the other Nolan compatriots on the table who had been sent by the Great Elder to assist him in his operation.

"Okay, I think everyone should be clear about the next work, is there anything else that needs to be added or have questions?"

Saying this, Vincent set his eyes on Gurney, and after seeing the black-haired young man smiling and shaking his head slightly, the fat president's gaze skipped over the middle-aged man dressed as a mercenary next to Gurney, and looked at the petite figure in a gothic skirt sitting next to Edus, and then frowned slightly.

“...... Xingxi, how's that? Is there anything else you would like to add?"

The girl who was named was slightly stunned, her fair and lovely face was slightly red, and then she quickly shook her head.

"No...... I completely agree with Uncle Vincent's plan. ”

Vincent glanced at the dark-haired girl, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Vincent's combat power is not excellent among the Nolan survivors, but he is the only Nolan who has established Nolan's hidden power from scratch in a country without any partner helper, and among the Nolan people, including the Great Elder, they all admit that this fat leader's mental talent may only be a little worse than that of the Great Elder.

This time's plan was planned by Vincent, and in order to make up for the disadvantage of the fat chief's empty brains but obvious lack of combat power, the Great Elder Wissinger sent Gurney and his original partner King Kong in Prude, as well as Xingxi and her partners Ali Ali and Egger in the port of freedom, a total of five people were sent over to be his subordinates temporarily, of course, this "Explorer" and several of his subordinates are also an important part of the help, but the relationship with them is only partners at most, Vincent knows this "Explorer" very well It's not something that he can command, and even the Great Elder may ......

And among these helpers of the same clan, Vincent could see from the first meeting that King Kong, Ali Ali and Egger may not be weak, but they are not good at making ideas, and in a nutshell, they are qualified subordinates. As for the other two helper candidates, Vincent felt that the Great Elder seemed to have some other hints.

Young, excellent in combat effectiveness, precocious and steady, for the Nolan clan with only a dozen people left in this world, Gurney and Xingxi are outstanding talents in terms of talent and brains, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the two of them are the mainstay of the future of the Nolan clan's revenge cause.

Could it be that the Great Elder wanted him to take the opportunity to test Gurney, who had failed once in Prude, and Xingxi, who had not yet experienced being in charge of oneself, to see if they were now able to (again) lead the layout of a certain region alone?

Smart people tend to overthink, and Vincent is a prime example.

In the opinion of the fat president, Gurney has performed well so far, and Xingxi ......

“...... Since there are no objections from everyone, let's stop for tonight. ”

With that, Vincent ended the meeting as the master, and then glanced at Gurney beside him where no one had seen it.

Gurney was slightly stunned, but soon understood what Vincent meant, and the black-haired young man nodded, turned around and left the reception room with everyone.

Vincent, who was slightly tired, just wanted to get up, but suddenly found that the "explorer" and Edus on the right hand had not left.

"Explorer, is there anything else?"

“...... Well, for one thing, please ask President Vincent. ”

"Don't dare, please say. ”

I don't know if it's Vincent's delusion, he felt that from the hoarse tone of the black-robed old man, he seemed to be able to faintly hear a trace of ...... Feeling interested?

“...... Does President Vincent know that the magician named 'Hill Chess'?" )
