Broad World

The second floor of the Shadow Thieves Guild Headquarters.

Renault's bloodhead is frowning and checking the accounts. The large number of numbers written in red ink on it looks shocking, and it obviously represents a loss. Ever since the vampires came to Ascatla, the entire Shadow Thieves Guild has been operating in debt. If it were not for a solid family base, it would have been impossible to even pay a salary for a long time.

Now the vampires have been wiped out, and even the secret base of the other party has been uprooted, but the operation situation has not been improved. The guild that has lost more than half of its territory cannot guarantee its balance of income and expenditure, and even in some places, it will continue to invest a lot of gold coins. , For example, training newcomers, or training wizards who belong to the guild, may really not last for a few months.

A few minutes later, a middle-aged accountant wearing single-sided spectacles handed a note and said: "Boss of blood, we have lost another 5,000 gold coins this month. You have to think of a way, or get some back. On the site, either find a few wealthy businessmen to start, or the guild will soon be dragged down by these debts..."

"Damn it! Tell me which area has the problem this month? Why has the business recovered, but the income has decreased." Renault roughly interrupted his advice and asked.

It's not that he doesn't want to take back the site, but that he cannot. If the agreement signed at the time is leaked out, there is no need to wait a few months, and the other leaders of the Shadow Council will immediately send killers to clean up the traitors. As for robbing wealthy merchants, it is not so easy. At the beginning, the noble goddess did not give Amn the country or family dominance. Therefore, the four words that money is omnipotent are strictly followed here.

Basically, all merchants who are wealthy to a certain degree have the title of nobility, and a large number of guards are employed in their homes, and even masked mages can be invited. No one is easy to provoke at all, and maybe it will cause a rebound in the upper class as a whole. At that time, even if the film thief has a close relationship with the council, it will inevitably be rectified. It is completely a loss that does not pay off.

As a man who has been behind the scenes for many years, Renault's bloodhead neither wants to be killed, nor does he want to be warned by the six-member council, so he can only grit his teeth. It is hoped that the economic situation of Ascatla will improve, and the underground casinos, hospitals, and smuggling trade will make big money.

But it's a pity. Maybe he is a good hand in managing gangs, but he is far behind in management. It was better when there was no competition before. Now Robert has introduced a new service concept. All of a sudden, the ancient gang economy was completely crushed.

A red account on the account shows that in this bloodless competition, the movie thief’s set of failures has been very thorough. If it weren’t for Robert’s rigorous men’s "business" such as narcotics and kidnapping and extortion, every time The monthly deficit can be even bigger.

The middle-aged accountant sighed slightly and explained: "Sorry, although our business has recovered, the most profitable business places in the past are rarely visited. Most of the rich are attracted by the special entertainment controlled by another guild. Their service is better than ours, and they have more tricks than us. If some methods are not applied, we are not rivals at all in normal competition."

"Okay, that's it for today. You can all go out." Akanis saw his boss's ugly face, immediately stopped the topic, and waved everyone to leave.

He knew very well that although the guild under Henry's control appeared to obey the orders of the shadow thieves, it was actually self-contained. If you want to take back the territory, you must prepare to fight another underground war. Take the current situation of the shadow thief. Not to mention an underground war, just a terrifying legendary mage can make this building disappear from the map in minutes.

When everyone left. Bloodhead took a deep breath and swept the ledger on the table to the ground and cursed loudly: "Damn! Damn! Damn! If this goes on, the Shadow Council will definitely be suspicious! Go to Anisha immediately and say me Need to talk to the people behind her."

Akanis nodded helplessly: "No problem, I will do it right away. But I don't think this kind of negotiation can achieve any results. After all, the other party has neither violated any agreement nor grabbed business on our site."

"No, they have already robbed it. Looking at the operating methods of those entertainment venues, we may not be able to catch up even if we work hard for a few years." Bloodhead slammed the table violently, venting our dissatisfaction. He knows very well the virtues of his bosses. They will thank God if they don't take the initiative to blackmail customers, let alone improve their service attitude.

"Maybe... you should really consider looting a few wealthy businessmen. I can take action personally to ensure that the target will disappear without a trace." Akanis lowered his voice and suggested. There was a sharp light gleaming in his eyes, there was no doubt that he was about to kill people.

As a legendary thief, as long as he wants, he can visit any place except the mage tower at any time, even the major temples and council buildings can't stop it. But once such a terrible burglary occurs, the council and the major temples will immediately lock Akanis himself, because he is the only suspect in this city.

Renault didn't want to let his strongest hand take risks at all, so he waved his hand without hesitation: "No, it's not yet this point. First of all, negotiate, and believe that the other party also needs one as a cover, otherwise it will be destroyed in the vampire lair. I started to eradicate us long ago."

As soon as the voice fell, a wave of fluctuations suddenly appeared in the air, followed by a voice: "Yes, your analysis is in place. I never thought of killing you, at least not yet."

Talking about Henry's figure slowly appeared. With a playful smile on his face, he squatted down and picked up a bad debt book and flipped through a few pages. He joked: "Wow, it's really shocking. It seems that your hand is a bit tight during this period. How about it, do you want me to give it? Can you introduce a business that can make a fortune?"

Akanis instantly tightened his muscles to block his boss behind him, and asked carefully: "When did you come in! How did you escape the traps and guards in the corridor?"

You should know that the headquarters of the Shadow Thieves Guild is not a shopping mall. Anyone who wants to come and leave, there are a lot of magic traps and anti-stealth devices, not to mention that there is an elf hound behind the stairs. .

This magical creature almost the size of a pony has thick green hair, brown spots on its back, and terrifying claws enough to shred an adult brown bear. It has exceptional hearing and vision, and it never needs to rest, even when The night, who couldn't see his fingers, could still see clearly. In addition, it can resist charm control, and its sprint speed is five times that of leopards, and almost no one can pass in front of them silently.

But obviously, all this is nothing to the legendary mage, otherwise, even if any trap is triggered, the guild headquarters should be alarmed now.

Seeing the two look like rivals, Henry said with a mischievous smile: "Relax, we are allies. Although they are not very close, as long as this kind of cooperation is not resolved for a day, I will not be against it. You start. In addition, your alarm system here needs to be upgraded. It is not enough to resist powerful spellcasters. Don't worry, that elf hound is very loyal, but it's not enough to see in front of the children of nature."

"Damn it! The elf said when I bought it that this hound can resist most charm control spells. It seems that he lied to me." Bloodhead cursed with gritted teeth.

"No, he didn't lie to you. Pay attention to the words, it's resistance rather than immunity. The Elf Hounds are indeed the same as their owners. They have natural resistance to controlling charm spells, but once the caster's power exceeds a certain Limit, then this kind of resistance will become dispensable." Henry sat on the soft sofa with an unceremonious butt, picked up the kettle and poured himself a cup of hot water and sipped it.

To be honest, he was surprised to see the Elf Hound at the top of the stairs, but fortunately the legendary Druid’s unique close animal made it hesitate for a second, and then he was completely "charmed by the animal" by the second-level magical technique. control. If you escaped all kinds of dangerous traps, it would be shameful in the end because a dog was exposed.

Of course, the elven hound is not strictly a dog, but a medium-sized magic beast, and has a longer life span than most humans. It can usually live to be over a hundred years old. It is the best combat partner for elves. It is said that the teeth of these guys can easily crush bones, and strong orc warriors can kill a few.

But Henry felt that a dog was a dog, no matter how strong he was, he was just a beast. If he accidentally got a bite, his fame would be ruined. It is precisely because of this that he despises Mesk, the **** of thieves, who was chased by the chaos demon dog Kozev, and the **** of justice, Tyr, who was also bitten by a hand.

After a few minutes of silence, the blood head finally recovered his composure and left the protection of Akanis~www.ltnovel.com~ stood up and asked tentatively: "What's the matter with you this time? Don't tell me just passing by and wanting to fight Hello."

"Of course not, this time I am here to find you for further cooperation, by the way, to restore the bad financial situation to normal, otherwise it will not take a few months for the shadow council to discover the little secret between us." Henry Hao Unabashedly said his intentions. He still has a lot to do today, so he has no time to play guessing games with this old fritters here.

"Conditions? Or what do I need to pay? You should know the creed of the shadow thief. There is no free thing in this world. The reason why there is no charge is because the interest is being calculated. I don't want to die one day because I can't pay the interest. It’s unclear or white, so everything must follow the normal transaction process." The blood head is not nonsense, just pick out the words directly.

His top priority now is to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, otherwise once the shadow council members become suspicious, then the fun will be great.

"No problem, follow the old rules and pay as much as you get. I promise you won't regret this transaction." After speaking, Henry's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile on the road. He can already foresee that it will not be long before he can control the entire underground economy of Ascatla and become the true king of the night in this city. (To be continued)
