Chapter XXVIII: Negotiation I

"Ah, I didn't expect Mr. Earl to complain about this. (),, you can see it with a mobile phone. ”

Although Leah is Lori, it is impossible to be frightened by the other party's momentum, she just put on a slightly pretended surprised expression.

"What do you mean!?"

"I mean, if half of the rumors outside your regiment are true, then Mr. Earl is clearly not the kind of person who cares about credibility, and unfortunately it would have been for the union president's assurances to me...... I was going to invite a few small teams to take your place. ”

Leah said with a smile.

"Hahahahaha!!"

Hearing Leah's words, Dietrich laughed openly and unceremoniously, and on the other side, Isador grinned his lips into a contemptuous expression, much to Earle's embarrassment.

The Tiger Mercenary Group, unlike the well-known Magician's Hand and the Hungry Wolf, is a large mercenary group that has been promoted in recent years, but it is rumored that this mercenary group seems to be a little unclean in private.

Accepting a commission from a down-and-out explorer, he kills the client after finding the treasure, lying that the other party doesn't listen to them, and walking around is bitten to death by a wild beast.

Escorting young merchants through robber-infested wilderness, they smuggle their goods and sell them on the black market, where the bones of the principal's wolf-gnawed are found in the wilderness. Of course, this was later said to be the reason why the client himself dismissed them halfway after seeing that there were no thieves in the wilderness.

What's more, the daughter of the down-and-out baron's family also appeared in the slave market under the "escort" of the Tiger Mercenary Group.

Even every rumor has been carefully crafted by Earl and his men as the result of the protected client himself accidentally running around or ending the contract halfway.

But not everyone will believe this nonsense. (This chapter was uploaded by netizens&nb) is just in this era when it is difficult to collect evidence. If there is not enough evidence, how can a huge mercenary group be treated?

This is also the reason why Leah is disgusted with the other party.

But at the end of the day, although the Tiger Mercenary Regiment has a bad character, its strength is real, and in fact, compared to the number of missions it has successfully completed, those rumors can only be counted as a small fraction of them at best.

Considering that there are two mercenary groups with a good reputation following, and the man named Earl in front of him can't afford to turn over the storm, Leah is more inclined to use the strength of the other party to further increase the probability of completing the task.

It's just talking, it's a real deal about the strength of our Tiger Mercenary Group to complete the mission. Reassuring Leah, don't listen to the rumors spread by those who are jealous. A mercenary group is such a thing, and if it makes a reputation, it will always attract some rumors. ”

Seeing that Leah didn't seem to intend to cooperate with her, Earle's attitude softened. At the end of the day, mercenaries never care how harsh the terms of the commission are, they only care if the client can afford to pay a price that is commensurate with them.

"Why hasn't my mercenary group ever heard such nonsense?"

Dietrich rolled her eyes and said dryly as she looked at the ceiling.

"That's why I always say that Mr. Earl's mercenary group is special, at least unlike us, Dietrich. ”

Izado folded his hands together and toyed with his fingers as he looked at the power of attorney.

Because the two of them never looked at Earl from beginning to end, this made Leah vaguely aware that among the three major mercenary groups, it seemed that the hungry wolf and the magician's hand were at odds with the tiger.

So she hesitated. If the three teams get into infighting halfway, it may be even more troublesome than the dragon slaying itself.

"Oops...... Don't frown so tightly, Lord Leah, don't look at us like this, but it will definitely not affect the mission, Izado and Earl are not partners for the first time, you can rest assured. ”

As if to understand what Leah was worried about, Dietrich waved her hand up and down to signal that little Lori was reassured.

"That's right, that's right. The mercenary group that has come so far as to us won't be able to tell what to do and what not to do in the mission, Miss Leah. ”

Earl glared at Dietrich viciously, and he knew very well that the other party was helping him speak. The only reason is that the strength of the Tiger can maximize the success rate of the mission.

But then, I won't say much. Back to the previous topic, it's the one where your credibility will be reset if something happens to me. I must state that this was not something I had asked to add, but rather a decision made by Mr. President of the Union on his own initiative. ”

Leah raised her head and glanced at the president of the mercenary union present, and the other party lowered her head in embarrassment. Creditworthiness seems terrifying, but does Lori need this insurance? The answer is obviously no, because ......

"Mr. Earl, you see. ”

"What?"

"What I want to say is that whether I left the team without permission during a mission and fed the beasts, or fired your guide halfway through the mission, in a word, if something happens to me, all of you here, and even the team behind you, will bear the wrath of my father, Duke Brown Farain. ”

Leah didn't bluff or raise her voice when she spoke, but said it very indifferently, in a factual tone.

That's right, this is a fact, if something happens to little Lori, the old man must be very angry, and an angry duke wants to extinguish the fire by bloodbathing the mercenary group, even if it is the largest three, I am afraid it is not more troublesome than crushing three ants to death.

"By the way, allow me to introduce this one to my fiancΓ©, Baron Carlisle Britt, the second son of the late Duke Charles Britt, the hero of Randall, and the younger brother of the present Duke of Arman Britt. ”

Leah pointed to a cute boy. Instantly, there was a dark exclamation around him, but it wasn't because of Carlisle's identity, but because of what!?, so cute, not a girl!?.

"And then this is Leona, my good friend. At the end of this mission, she will go to Snow Lotus City to be promoted to knighthood, and by the way, my sister, Count Karene Farain, is very optimistic about her. ”

Ignoring Carlisle, who was blushing, Leah went on to introduce Leona to the crowd.

"This is Melti, and as for her identity, I'm sorry I can't say. ”

As for the last mermaid sister, Little Lori sold a pass.

Let's talk about Leona first, the knight favored by the countess is indeed worthy of the attention of several people present, but it may be like that.

But speaking of Carlisle, even if others don't know, Dietrich has really fought with the other party's brother, Duke Arman, what is that?

As for the last Melti, it scared a few people present, and the duke's daughter couldn't say the identity?

Well...... However, they apparently only half guessed correctly, although Melti was a princess, she was not Randall's, and Isabella was squatting in the real room at this time to draw circles.
