"You look more energetic than you used to." Rock and Zach greeted each other.

"I've learned a lot in the past two years." Zach shrugged his shoulders, "My grandfather taught me a lot of things and made me look at the world from a new perspective, a completely different perspective than I used to."

"It means you've really learned something." Locke smiled and said, "How does it feel to suddenly become rich?"

"You should know that, too." Zach smiled and said, "I invited you here this time because I have something to discuss with you."

"What's that?"

"In addition to the company and a small number of properties, I also have a sum of money that I want to put into the Sky Fund's project, but I think the 6% fixed income is a little bit short, what do you think?"

"Wow, Zack, you're a lion's mouth." Locke shook his head, "You know it's impossible for me to promise such a high yield while still protecting my capital."

"I have a 0.7% stake in Time Warner, and if you agree, I'll trade it to you at the market price, and the money will be placed in your fund company." Zach offered his price.

"Even so, 10 percent of the income is still too high, I estimate that I will lose you money every year, how about 6.5 percent?"

"It's not a secret where you're investing, and even if Time Warner has a lot of equity, it's not so easy for you to get enough of it.

After all, Time Warner Group is an excellent investment object for everyone, and these shares will be paid every year, and I will not let go if there is not enough income.

It's better to be more direct, eight percent, my final offer."

"Alright, just do as you say." Locke thought about it for a moment and nodded, "But this yield requires a non-disclosure agreement."

"No problem, I'll arrange for my lawyer to speak with your people." Zach laughed and said, "It doesn't seem that hard to do business."

"You're already getting started." Locke smiled and clinked a glass with him.

After negotiating the business with Zack, Locke also felt that he had not spent any effort in vain to let the rich man find his grandson in advance, and found Ashley at the buffet table:

"What are you doing?"

"I'm trying to transfer the number eight pawnshop you brought up that day." Ashley said, "But you can't do it as colorful as you do."

"It takes a little bit of skill plus reflexes." Locke smiled and took the shaker from Ashley and began to fiddle with it.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to do this." Julie also leaned over, watched Locke's fancy bartending moves, and exclaimed. z.br>

"I know a lot more, and I'll teach you little by little in the future." Locke smiled and punned, "Would you like a drink?"

"Of course." Julie smiled and held out her wine glass.

Locke poured her and Ashley a glass, and Julie looked at the brilliant colors first, then tried to take a sip, and said with some surprise:

"It's delicious, I've never drunk such a good wine, what's the name of this wine."

"Pawnshop No. 8." Ashley smiled and said, "This is the name given by Locke, and legend has it that it is a pawnshop established by the devil in another dimension, and only those souls with strong desires and greed have a chance to enter the trade.

In this pawnshop, the devil tempts the greedy to trade with them, and the pawnshop takes everything from lifespan, health, affection, and the soul of God.

People can trade these things for channel wealth and power, but as long as they make a deal with a pawnshop, even if it is a small transaction, the soul will gradually be infected by the darkness, and become more greedy and thirsty.

People who have traded think they have earned, but in fact they have already fallen into the devil's full set, and the more they desire, the more they will trade, and eventually their entire soul will be harvested by the devil.

The eighth pawnshop, forever only pawns, has no redemption, just like a locke-concocted cocktail, as long as it is drunk once, it is

You can never get rid of it."

"Are you the devil?" Julie smiled and looked at Locke.

"Then do you want to keep drinking?" Locke smiled and looked at Julie.

"Of course." Julie smiled and looked at the colorful and attractive color of the wine glass, and took another sip: "I have already fallen into the trap of the devil, and I can't stop it, so you have to keep mixing it for me in the future."

"Of course, if you want to." Locke smiled and raised his glass.

After the party, Locke felt that he had rested enough during this time, and turned on the system again, and the new mission world had not yet been searched, so he simply entered the fairy tale world again.

This time Locke appeared in the woods where the three crows had been, and Locke walked out of the woods and was about to leave, but he met a guard, who stopped Locke.

"Lord Locke, Prince Jim is looking for you and wants to invite you to meet him." The guard said.

After separating from Jim last time, Locke lived in the woods for half a year, which means that he and Jim haven't seen each other for half a year, and Locke doesn't know why he is looking for him, so he follows the guards to the kingdom without being far away.

Jim, who saw Locke again, was very happy and instructed the cook to prepare a rich dinner, and after dinner, he handed Locke a letter.

"This letter was sent by the Dark Witch Queen at the same time as the letter from me canonizing me as a nobleman, but by that time you were gone.

I've been searching for you for three months, and I've finally found you, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain to the Dark Witch."

Jim spoke with a little fear, the queen's malevolent reputation spread in many countries with the papal propaganda, many people knew that the queen was a dark magician, and Jim was also afraid of retaliation if he annoyed the queen.

Locke smiled, because of the queen's amorous appearance in private, he couldn't connect her with the rumored vicious black witch queen for the time being.

Good and evil have always been related to position.

In fact, Locke has suffered a big loss to the Holy See's army on the battlefield, and he has the title of Nightmare Knight, so it can only be said that the Holy See does have an advantage in propaganda, after all, in the entire fairy tale world, many countries believe in the Holy See.

Taking the letter from Jim, Rock returned to the room Jim had arranged for him and opened it.

The contents seemed to be just ordinary greetings, but as Locke cast a spell, the contents of the letter changed suddenly.

"The Werewolf Family?"

After reading the letter carefully, Locke thought for a moment, the letter written by the queen asked him to go to a country controlled by the Holy See, find the leader of the werewolf family, and bring him back to the kingdom of Lorens.

As long as you control the leader of the werewolf family, you can control a large number of werewolves, which is still very important for the queen who is now relying on her own support to deal with the many people of the Holy See.

The queen offered to pay him for the letter, saying that she would teach him some skills in making potions.

Since he didn't work in vain, Locke naturally had no reason to refuse, so he packed his luggage the next day, said goodbye to Jim, and embarked on the journey.
