The two glasses of red wine were filled again, and Edward leaned on the sofa very relaxedly this time, observing the young mercenary captain who was still sipping red wine with an unpredictable look.

Just now, Edward scolded in his stomach for more than ten seconds before he stabilized his feelings, and then pondered silently for a while, and suddenly it became as if nothing had happened before.

As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, it would be unqualified to have no patience at all.

So this is the scene after a little over a minute.

"When Arin returned to the mercenary union, he slammed the table, and he said that you asked for 500,000 gold coins, but now I understand that it was just you kidding us, let's say, how much money do you want. ”

Through the scene just now, Edward finally understood that although this mercenary leader was very young, his mind and experience far exceeded his actual age.

Leon had played a big trick on him just now, but instead of throwing the door away angrily, he became interested in Leon. Edward decided to find out about the young man's background through his own channels in the future, and if he had the opportunity, it was not impossible to recruit him to his command.

Of course, this qiē is established after the other party finally agrees to his request, or waits until the situation in the chaotic capital has completely stabilized.

"Why do you conclude that the price I said is a joke?" said Leon lightly.

"You're smart, and sometimes you have to be flamboyant, but you're very cautious in private, and people like you don't ask for more than you expected. ”

Li Ang took a sip of red wine and suddenly said, "I actually prefer to drink tea rather than pretending to drink red wine." ”

Edward was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Each other, then you wait a minute." ”

Soon, someone came in through another door in the hut and exchanged the red wine for tea.

Looking at the familiar colors and smelling the familiar smell, Leon confirmed that the tea was the kind he had praised in the gear store.

"Is there any privacy!" he roared inwardly.

"The store you've been to is actually the property of the Skyrim Chamber of Commerce," Edward said with a grin, ignoring Leon's distorted expression.

Li Ang said sullenly: "The sense of service is very good, but you have to give me a discount!"

"Definitely, no matter what the outcome is, I promise to enjoy a good discount in the future," Edward said, and it was evident that his attitude towards Leon had changed somewhat.

"Continuing with the subject, how much money do you want?" I can promise you if it's not too much," he asked, changing his sitting position.

"Money, no matter how much money you want, what's the use of not having a life to spend it?" Leon finally got serious.

"What you said is a bit exaggerated, how can it be life-threatening to take a large sum of money and fly away?"

Hearing this, Li Ang scolded in his heart, "Goofy, your sister...... It's easy to say, the consequences of this are not to offend President Druux, Sapa said that this lich is what kind of Maharaja's retinue, when he hears it, he is a high-end person, if it is ruthless and comes to chase me anytime and anywhere, will you stop me for me?"

So Leon was noncommittal about Edward's enlightenment.

"Are you still worried about security?" Edward spoke after a moment of silence, "I will keep you safe, and as long as you're in the Chaos Lands, that promise will last forever." ”

"Or you can go to the Commercial City-State Alliance, where what I say will be just as effective, and I'm sure your abilities will develop even more in the City-State Alliance. ”

This sentence is equivalent to Edward's vague throwing an olive branch for the Skyrim Chamber of Commerce to reach a higher level.

It would be too false to say that Li Ang was not impressed by this promise, and it would be too much to have such a powerful bigwig cover, and it can be said that he is like a fish in water if he develops in the alliance of commercial city-states.

But thinking of those companions behind him, as well as his own promise, Li Ang was silent.

After a while, he raised his head and smiled, "Thank you, but I don't have this plan for the time being." ”

Edward was a little surprised, but also a little clear, and he felt as if he had touched some of the qualities of this young man.

But he still wanted to try, "It's okay, but you should understand that making a deal with me will not only bring you direct monetary gains, but also my friendship, which will also help you in the future." ”

Leon still smiled and shook his head.

"Isn't it true that nothing good can impress you?" said Edward, leaning back on the sofa, his eyes a little erratic, he felt that this young man, although he was good in every way, was a little too stubborn.

In Leon's map, there was a person standing outside the door from beginning to end, and now this person seemed to be unable to resist and reached for the doorknob.

"Is this the rhythm where the red face doesn't have an effect after singing, and the white face is about to appear on the stage?" he thought.

The door opened, and a woman walked in, and both people in the room looked up at the same time.

"President Edward," the woman bowed slightly to the head of the chamber of commerce, and then found a chair to sit diagonally across the two men.

This woman, Leon, had seen that she had appeared at the "meeting" at the entrance to the lower city, and although she was standing behind Yalin, it seemed that Yalin's attitude was very influenced by her.

She should be called Carol.

"Captain Li Ang, since you are a mercenary group registered with the mercenary union, you should stand on the same front with the union, this is not only your obligation, but also your responsibility!"

Hearing this familiar sentence in his previous life, Li Ang was simply annoyed, he hated such a self-righteous person the most, taking a big reason and a big hat as if you didn't do it was a big rebellion, completely ignoring how others felt.

"It seems that you should say this to those mercenary groups directly under you," Li Ang replied coldly.

Carol was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this young man to even know about the mercenary group directly under him.

"If we do as we say, we will be rewarded and the friendship of President Edward when this is done, and I will also apply to the higher authorities to add your mercenary group to the immediate candidate, and then I will receive special preferential treatment. ”

"Otherwise, not only will you be relieved of your rights in the mercenary union, but you will also have to be prepared to bear other more severe consequences!"

Carol felt that Edward's blind sweetness just now had no deterrent effect at all for a young man who had never experienced any setbacks in his fledgling life, so he felt that this sentence was in place.

She didn't notice the coldness and disappointment in President Edward's gaze.

Next, the top of the mercenary union heard the following sentence.

"Oh, I'm sorry, after this is over, I'm going to cancel my records in the mercenary guild and disband the mercenary group. ”

"As for the consequences of being stricter......" Li Ang drank all the tea and said to the two of them with a smile: "I have a Jianyì, do you want to hear it?"

"Please," Edward perked up and returned his intriguing gaze to Leon.

"In the next speech at the ceremony, I promise not to say anything unfavorable to you, and that's all I can do," Leon said, "and the reward you have raised to 50,000 gold coins cannot be changed." ”

"Hah!" Carlo's laugh was sarcastic, "promise not to say anything against us, what kind of person do you think you are?"

"I didn't think I was that important, so why do you keep obsessing with my words?"

"And did your previous promise still work?" asked Edward suddenly.

"Testify against those two people? Of course, it always works. ”

"In that case......," Edward said, standing up, "this is not an unacceptable outcome. ”

"President Edward!" Carol was a little anxious, she really couldn't figure out why a dignified Chamber of Commerce president, vice president, would make such concessions to a young man.

"I think it's acceptable," said Edward, ignoring Carol, "and that's all I can do, so I'll go back first, and we'll see you at noon." ”

"Leon, you will pay for your arrogance," a few minutes after Edward left, and Carol shook off the words and left angrily.

At this time, Li Ang really relaxed, and trapped himself in the sofa, recalling the expressions of everyone just now.

He had always acted as if nothing had happened, but in fact he was very nervous, if he really annoyed Edward, it was difficult to say what would happen next, but he never thought that Edward would let him go so easily.

To be honest, he was more worried about this seemingly harmless Chamber of Commerce president than Carlo's kind of person who couldn't hold back his feelings.

"A dog that bites doesn't bark" is a common saying, so Edward's gentle attitude throughout, which is a bit unusual, gives Leon the impression that he didn't care if he could reach an agreement during this early meeting, but later became more interested in Leon himself.

"Is this because he knows he'll be able to benefit from this change no matter what?"

Leon was puzzled by the idea that had arisen inexplicably.
