The Thieves' Guild Headquarters.

The black halo that was high on the throne dissipated, revealing a figure whose whole body was shrunk in a black robe that seemed to be extremely special.

emaciated, definitely no more than one meter sixty tall, his whole person is like a thick darkness that cannot be dissolved, which is daunting.

The three guild leaders and the three great venerables stood in two columns with bated breath, not daring to raise their heads, let alone glance at the Holy Assassin.

"Sit down, you didn't disappoint the deity, I'm satisfied. ”

José's voice floated out of a dark alley, chilling and unpredictable.

After Kobe Bryant, Howard and other six people bowed down to thank them, they sat down one by one.

Kobe Bryant's actual age is said to have been more than 100 years old, but his red hair is as bright as fire, his figure is not fat or thin, he has a pale red goatee, and he looks like a scheming man. He couldn't see a single wrinkle on his face, and he looked like a person in his thirties, but everyone knew that he had been in charge of the Thieves Guild for many years, and as the best professional in the Thieves' Guild after the Holy Assassin Jose, his strength had already reached the peak of three stars, and he could step into the level of a quasi-saint at any time.

The hall was silent for a while, but Bryant got up and went to the side for a while, bringing a steaming cup of tea to Jose, the high-ranking Saint Assassin.

"Holy Venerable, this is your favorite Qianlong tea, I don't know if my tea-making skills have degenerated too much, and it doesn't suit your taste, can you try it?"

Kobe respectfully held the teacup in both hands and handed it to the Holy Assassin.

A withered hand like a withered branch stretched out from the black robe, and steadily took the teacup in Kobe's hand, which slowly moved upwards with the teacup, and suddenly, the heat in the teacup turned into a wisp of verdant gas, and disappeared into the face of the Holy Assassin hidden in the black robe.

"Well, Kobe, you know what you want. This time I came back, and the coming-of-age ceremony for Bazel's youngest daughter was just incidental, and there was a major matter that you needed to deal with immediately. ”

Jose instantly sucked the essence of the tea, handed the teacup back to Kobe, and then indifferently ordered.

"Listen to the Holy Honor!"

Kobe Bryant and Howard, who returned to their seats, stood up in unison and replied respectfully.

"Sit down. Kobe, let me ask you one thing first, you used up the only holy message talisman that the deity gave you last time, and sent a message to the deity, saying that someone in the Chamber of Commerce accidentally collected an unusually rare gold leaf, and you showed the gold leaf to the deity. ”

Kobe Bryant bowed and said, "Yes, Holy Venerable." ”

Immediately Kobe Bryant waved his hand, and the three Dazun immediately left their seats and went out, and after a while, the three returned, one of them held an extremely precious magic box in his hand, this box is not big, if it is used to hold gold coins, it can hold hundreds of thousands of gold coins at most.

However, the role of the magic chest is not reflected in the capacity, but in the fact that it can conceal the breath of the items in the chest, which is the key.

Kobe Bryant took the box, respectfully presented it on a coffee table under the Holy Venerable's seat, and after a few fingers flew for a while, he opened the magic box, and suddenly, everyone in the room was dazzled by a burst of golden light, and their breathing seemed to be suddenly tight.

There was an imperceptible hint of cruelty in the bearded Howard's eyes, which he didn't know about as the vice president, which was simply unbearable for him. He has always hoped to make a good impression in front of the Holy Venerable, hoping to take the Howard family to a new peak and replace Kobe Bryant's chairmanship. Unexpectedly, Kobe Bryant actually collected such a batch of rare things without him, and the things he was ready to offer to the Holy Venerable seemed to be a little overshadowed by comparison.

A few bits of golden light flew up from the box and submerged into Jose's withered palm, "There is such a pure golden leaf in this world, Kobe, you are very good, you have done this very well! Hahaha, with this batch of golden leaves, I am expected to cast a dragon slayer dagger within ten years, and at that time, even if I face the golden holy dragon Kaspersky alone, I will have the strength to fight, at least I can be invincible." Kobe, you're doing a great job! Wait, the deity has always had clear rewards and punishments, you say, what reward do you want?"

Kobe Bryant bowed down and said: "Holy Venerable, to obtain this batch of rare gold leaves, I just want to dedicate it to the Holy Venerable, knowing that the Holy Venerable has exhausted his mind in order to cast the holy weapon Dragon Slayer Dagger, I believe that with the addition of this batch of golden leaves, the success rate of casting will be greatly increased, and it may be able to help the Holy Venerable so little, I really didn't think about getting any reward from the Holy Venerable." However, the branch manager of the Chamber of Commerce who obtained this batch of gold leaves, I am ready to reuse it and make him the eighth Grand Venerable of the Qig Chamber of Commerce, this matter, I have discussed with Howard and Rodman, the two vice presidents, for a long time, and also solicited the opinions of the seven Venerables, but so far everyone has not been able to reach a consensus opinion, just right, today the Venerable returned, Kobe Bryant took the liberty to ask the Venerable to adjudicate this matter. Kobe Bryant has always taken the Holy Venerable as a model standard, and I also hope to be a good president with clear rewards and punishments, at least not to discredit the Holy Venerable and not to discredit our guild, I don't dare to expect the reward of the Holy Venerable, but this branch treasurer, I have already notified him to enter the imperial capital to wait, as for whether he can be newly established as a great venerable, I also want to ask the Holy Venerable to give us a little guidance. ”

"Humph!"

Jose snorted coldly, and Howard, Rodman, and the three Great Venerables shivered together, which was a precursor to the imminent anger of the Holy Venerable.

Howard knew that Kobe had taken the lead in front of the Saint Venerable today, and if he didn't take the offensive again, he would really be defeated. Hurriedly got up and stood beside Kobe, clasped his fists and bowed and said: "Holy Venerable is angry, there are many doubts in this matter, for this reason, President Kobe's proposal, we have a dispute, besides, the establishment of a new Great Venerable, this is related to the vital interests of the Qige Chamber of Commerce, related to the well-being of hundreds of thousands of people in the guild, it is not in line with the rules at all, so we did not agree to President Kobe's proposal for the time being." Moreover, the Holy Venerable did not know that the little shopkeeper of the branch ・・・・・・"

"Humph!"

Jose snorted coldly for the second time, and the cold sweat on Howard's forehead trickled down, and he hurriedly said, "Holy Venerable, please listen to what I have to say." That little shopkeeper, named Byron, is still stuck in the seventh-level cultivation hurdle, and it seems that the situation may not be able to enter the advanced stage and master the mysteries of the realm for the rest of his life. Let him become the eighth great venerable of the Chamber of Commerce, and lead tens of thousands of people in the guild, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public! What's more, Lord Kobe did not know that he had met us in advance, and this person collected such rare gold leaves, and he did not confess to us, where did this person get these strange things? Why did he hide this small branch shopkeeper from a remote place like the Dragon Descending Collar for many years, and our one-star thorn general did not send back the slightest news? Why did he hide it from the one-star thorn general?

José asked in a soothing tone, "Howard, you pay attention to the tone of your voice. Don't think that you have been the vice president for many years, and you manage most of the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, you are in a high position, so you don't take the weaker people under the guild seriously. The deity would like to ask you, do you remember the purpose of this guild? Tell me, what is the purpose of this guild that the deity founded?"

Howard's heart was cold, and he suddenly realized that he didn't check for a while just now, and he couldn't control his emotions, and he actually used such a tone to tell Byron in front of the Holy Venerable, knowing that it was going to be bad, so he gritted his teeth and said: "The elf shines in the darkness, and the hidden dragon comes out, which is earth-shattering." If you enter the guild, you are a child of darkness, as close as family, everyone is equal, and you will never forget. ”

"Very good! Very good! If you still remember the purpose of your initiation when you first joined the association, then the deity would like to ask you, have you ever valued the branch manager named Byron in your heart? If you do this again, the deity will not be spared!"

Hearing the words of the Holy Venerable, Howard's face completely lost its blood, and he hurriedly retreated, and when he passed by Kobe, he glanced at Kobe Bryant with great resentment.

"Kobe. ”

"The little one is here, please command. ”

"Since this Byron has such a blessing, it can be regarded as an immortal miracle, and this time Howard's gloomy potion will be rewarded to him. In addition, since you already have the heart to make him the eighth chamber of commerce, I think it is feasible. I believe that after taking the medicine, he can at least advance to the one-star level, and the main party will not be able to afford it! However, the ins and outs of this batch of golden leaves, I hope you will seriously ask him and give me a detailed reply before I leave. You all know that if the value of such a batch of gold leaves falls into the hands of the other two guilds, and then those two old guys get it, we will be extremely passive! What to do, I know you are measured! If Byron really meets the descendants of the ancient family in the hidden world, I hope that Byron will not interfere too much in the guild and in the Chamber of Commerce in the future. You must know that the people in the ancient family of the hidden world have always only recognized one person, and do not associate with others, this line, you must tell Byron to hold on firmly, as long as he can continue to dig deep into similar treasures, the deity will not hesitate to give him the gloom potion again!"

"Ah, on behalf of Byron, Kobe Bryant thanks to the Holy Venerable for the medicine and the Holy Venerable for his support!"

Jose's divine light glanced at the people in the room with different expressions, and suddenly sighed: "In the past, I promised that whoever found out the secret of the Dragon Ruins would receive a holy artifact from the deity. Are you just going to stir up a dispute over this holy artifact, ignoring the purpose of the guild? Tell me, what's going on with the Dragon Descending Territory? Howard, tell me about it!"

A boundless murderous aura suddenly filled the room, and the presidents, vice presidents, and great honorables in the room all fell to their knees tremblingly, not daring to raise their heads.

"Holy Venerable・・・・・・ Holy Venerable Calm your anger! The little ghost was fascinated for a while, and he wanted to find out the mystery of the dragon ruins before everyone else, so he secretly made some arrangements, and the original intention was definitely not to set off a fratricidal battle, I ・・・・・・"

"Hmph, Howard, you've let the deity down!"

Hearing the words of the Holy Venerable, the trembling Howard almost fell to the ground on all fours, prostrate, and did not dare to move.

He suddenly understood that everything he had arranged for Swift to do in the Dragon Descending Territory had been known to the Holy Venerable, and it must have been the sinister Kobe Bryant who took the opportunity of that Holy Message Talisman to tell the Holy Venerable everything that happened in the Dragon Descent Domain, and the Holy Venerable would find fault with him again and again today and keep accusing him. But the resentment in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he didn't know where the courage came from, so he suddenly trembled and straightened up, reached out and took out a delicate magic box from his bosom, and almost crawled to his knees to move to the coffee table with the gold leaf box, and put the box on it.

After retreating, Howard gritted his teeth, looked at the Saint Venerable, and said, "Saint Venerable, there are many things that your old man doesn't know. In recent years, the development momentum of Tiger Mountain and Wolf Mountain has been very rapid, while the volcanic areas under our control have become increasingly scarce in resources and are struggling. In the long run, the power of their two guilds will inevitably surpass ours. However, I have repeatedly proposed that we should draw up a detailed and thorough plan to infiltrate the Tiger Mountain and Wolf Mountain areas and expand our forces. I think that President Kobe is short-sighted, has no ambition, is content with the status quo, lacks long-term planning, and is not aware of the major crisis that will occur in our guild, and under his management, the guild has always stagnated, and it is difficult to make a major breakthrough, let alone withstand the pressure of the other two guilds that will rise strongly in the future! Holy Venerable, I am not a small person who wants to compete for the position of president, I am all for the guild, for the guild you have built! Howard's heart is a good thing!"

Kobe Bryant's face did not change, and Jose, who listened to Howard's generous statement, was also very indifferent, a black light spread over the box, and the young saint assassin said softly: "Howard, do you know the big thing that you almost broke the deity? It seems that if the deity doesn't tell you the truth, you all feel that you have done nothing wrong." With the Golden Leaf, you don't need these few grams of magic Mithril for the deity, you can keep it for yourself and forge a weapon!"

Howard was completely stunned, and he naturally understood the meaning of the Saint's words, that is, all along, the Saint Venerable had a secret plan to secretly explain to Kobe, but he was at a loss. The thought of this made his heart feel like ashes. With the Golden Leaf, the precious magic Mithril Saint Venerable is no longer wanted, does this mean that the Saint Venerable is going to give up on him completely?

Suddenly, at this time, Kobe Bryant suddenly said softly: "Holy Venerable, in fact, President Howard is loyal to the guild, he just doesn't know the important things assigned by the Holy Venerable. I also ask the Holy Venerable to give him a chance to mend his ways, and today his two grandsons of the Seven Star Generals, who are in the Protector Army, have unfortunately fallen on Wangcheng Street, and we have just received the news!"

"What? Kobe, what are you talking about? You tell me clearly, what's wrong with Ziyan and Zixin? Don't make such a joke with me!"

Like a cat with its tail stepped on, Howard jumped up in anger and rushed to Kobe, almost grabbing Kobe's shirt with his hand!

Bryant said calmly, "Yes, this happened just a few hours before the return of the Holy Venerable. There are a lot of strange things in this matter, even I can't figure out the strangeness in it, the stakes are very high, and when the Holy Venerable returns, I'm afraid I have to ask the Holy Venerable to ask about it himself!"

"Shhh

Rodman and the three Grand Venerables all gasped.

"Could it be that the person who killed Ziyan and Zixin can't even deal with President Kobe?

Several of them have also been summoned by their respective cronies, but the specific details of the matter are unknown. Perhaps, only Howard is now in the dark, completely kept in the dark. He was preoccupied with how to behave in front of the Divine Venerable, and closed all communication talismans.

At this moment, even Lord Shengzun couldn't calm down, and asked very unexpectedly: "What? Ziyan and Zixin, the two juniors, have very good qualifications and have great potential. As the seven-star general of the Protector Army, their own strength is at the seventh-level level, and they actually both fell, right in this royal city? Kobe, tell me, what the hell is going on, how did it take the turn of the deity to intervene in person?"

Kobe Bryant's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "That person has been captured by the law enforcer Alligu, but according to Alligu's report, that person's strength is not very good, he is only a sixth-level little warrior, but he is suspected of hiding a holy weapon on his body!

"What!

Boom, with the exclamation of the Holy Assassin, a boundless wild murderous aura almost blew Kobe Bryant and the others out of the house!
