Chapter 354: The Determination to Gamble

Remember for a second

Darkmoon City. {fastest text chapter reading}

Treasurer's residence.

Joseph. Alvin was listening to his subordinate Royce's report.

"Last month, the revenue of our magic store dropped the most, reaching 35%. Due to the treasure, the comprehensive revenue of other aspects has increased, but the increase is very small, around 1%."

Joseph frowned slightly; "The magic shop has dropped so much? Is it because of the relationship between the cloak and the magic shop?"

Royce nodded; "Yes, since the cloak magic shop has the master Da Da, every time the goods are sold out at the fastest speed, our customers have been robbed there. Other shops of the chamber of commerce We were sanctioned by the eldest princess, such as not being able to join the night market, adding similar competing stores near the original stores, etc., plus the new chamber of commerce 'Yuemang' co-founded by the Custer family and the eldest princess, has pushed us to the edge of the cliff ."

"What about the Mellon family?"

"As far as I know, the Mellon family has been secretly courting the eldest princess early in the morning. Their property has not been hit by us like this, and two more stores have been allowed to join the night market." Royce sneered. sè; "The same is true for some of the small families that were originally attached to us. Those guys are all guys who fell on both sides of the wall, and they can't be trusted at all."

"From the beginning, I didn't plan to rely on these guys." Joseph shook his head; "The appearance of this treasure has turned some of the mistakes of the eldest princess into the most effective means, such as repairing roads and shops. Wait, it seems like I'm ready, I actually sponsored half of the cost for free at first, but now that I think about it, it seems like a plan."

Royce's heart moved, and he pondered; "Originally, I also thought about it, but the fountain of life should not be fake, the awakening of that human Chen Rui is the best proof. And it was just yesterday. At an auction, the bottles of Life Fountain that Athena brought back last time were sold for an astonishing price. The purchaser was a master pharmacist from Yinying Empire. Judging from the experience of the treasure hunters, there is indeed a mysterious treasure that was originally unknown in the Blue Chi Mountains."

"Auction?" Joseph was taken aback by the new term.

"It's not too long since you came back, you may not know that Dark Moon's newly opened auction house is a new industry directly managed by the lord. It is located in the northwest block. Several masters from the Shadow Empire Maker Alliance have been invited to set up a complex defensive magic circle, which is quite safe. Guests can put some valuable items into the auction house, and the auction house will identify and evaluate these items , and then hold a public auction at a certain time, the highest bidder will get the auction house and 20% of the transaction amount will be taken as a reward."

"Twenty percent?" Joseph was moved. He is considered an expert in economics. This auction house is just a transfer function. It is equivalent to an empty-handed wolf. He can actually get a high profit of 20%, and The higher the transaction price, the higher the profit, which is simply a cash cow.

"This time, in addition to the Fountain of Life, there are treasures provided by the palace and several families. The most conspicuous ones are a few treasures produced by the Blue Pool Mountains entrusted by a treasure hunter. It attracted a large number of bidders. The scene is extremely hot. The success of this auction has caused many people to start rushing to book tickets for the next auction in advance."

Joseph's eyes flickered; "Because the lord directly manages the business, others are not qualified to follow suit, which is equivalent to monopolizing this huge benefit, what an auction house!"

Royce knew that Shia had been doing nothing before, and these Josephs would definitely think of it, so he said: "According to my inference, the idea of ​​this auction house probably originated from that Chen Rui, and it should be a copy of the human world.

"Yes, I think so too," Joseph's brows furrowed tightly; "In the past six months, the dark moon has changed too fast, too big, Princess Square, Battle Ball, Night Market, Shadow Empire Cass The special family entered the Dark Moon to co-organize the new Chamber of Commerce, the Dark Moon renovation, the auction house... These changes must be inseparable from the idea of ​​this human being behind the scenes. It seems that I have always underestimated this idea that I originally thought It's an insignificant little bug..."

Your current strength is a little bug in front of others. Royce said in his heart, with a worried look on the surface; "Now that the trend of the dark moon has basically taken shape, even killing this human in secret will not help. The most important thing for us is to consider how to regain this disadvantage. Otherwise, as long as we continue to develop according to this trend, we will also be completely crushed without the other party's added force."

Joseph nodded solemnly, his situation has been really bad recently, this is the case with Dark Moon, and Chi You is also sad. Although in the matter of "Charles", there is no conclusive evidence that he confided to the imperial capital, but his father Zhuoqie has clearly begun to alienate him, and some policies in Mordor Town have a tendency to be sanctioned.

The only consolation was that Prince Obsidian from the imperial capital expressed considerable appreciation for his loyalty to the imperial capital and the regent, and implicitly pointed out some shortcomings of the current lord of Chiyou, Zhuoqi, implicitly optimistic about Joseph. The husband will inherit the territory in the future.

As far as the current situation is concerned, this "inheritance" is obviously far in the future, and the approval of the imperial capital is only verbal. It's just that Joseph didn't regret it, because if "Charles" and Tenita were allowed to cooperate, then what he would face would probably not be the current passivity, but a real failure.

Moreover, it is not entirely impossible to "inherit" the position of lord in advance. This possibility is based on some "accidental" circumstances, such as Zhuoqi's health problems... He not only has the long-term support of the imperial capital , and there is an unfathomable ally in front of him, the heir of the gluttonous royal family, Agul. Beelzebub.

It was the letter sent by "Agulie" just now, inviting him to go to the cloak meeting. It was "Agulie"'s reminder last time, which made him destroy the huge interests of Carnita in time. Now this meeting, Perhaps the place where "Agulie" can get him out of the current predicament is the second stronghold of the Cloak Club in the northwest block. It was originally the location of the Mellon family. It occupies a large area and is very valuable. Later, because the Mellon family was suspected of assassinating the head of the Cloak Society and smuggling people, it was forced to give up this place, and was transferred to the Cloak Society by the eldest princess Shia as compensation.

It would be discovered that the treasurer had a secret relationship with the cloak. Joseph came to the house in disguise this time. Soon, he was led to a newly-built venue.

The stadium is heavily guarded on the outside, as if it is a heavy place, but after entering it, I found out that it is actually an indoor battle field. It seems to be a standard three-player field. The old friend "Agulie" just sat next to it , watching the three-on-three battle ball match in the field.

Those players all wore strange masks and couldn't see their true colors. Apart from "Agulie", Joseph was the only audience.

"You're here, my friend." "Agulie" didn't get up, didn't look at him, just pointed to the side; "Sit."

Joseph already knew that this "ally" was at least a Demon King-level powerhouse. Given his current situation, this attitude of the other party was not bad.

Joseph sat down and listened to "Agulie" indifferently; "As far as I know, your recent troubles seem to be not small, whether it is Chi You or Dark Moon, it seems that the situation is not very good."

"Yes, it's really not good." Joseph sighed and did not deny it. He knew that this person had great powers, especially intelligence ability. The collusion between Carnita and foreign humans at the beginning was "Agulie". His, so to speak, pulled him back from the edge of the cliff. Of course, Joseph didn't feel much, because both sides were using each other, and the reason why the other party helped him was because he still had the value of using it.

Contrary to the relationship between the strong and the weak at the beginning, Joseph is now on the weaker side whether it is personal strength or power, so he must reflect his own value, and further use the strength of the other side to try to reverse the current disadvantage.

Chen Rui saw Joseph's expression in his eyes and said, "So, do you have the courage to risk everything to come back?"

"I bet everything?" Joseph was suspicious. Even if he bet everything, how could he turn the tables?

Chen Rui nodded, but did not continue to explain, but just set his eyes on the battle on the field. Joseph was not easy to talk to for a while; he invited him here just to watch the game?

However, Joseph was not an impatient person. He knew that the opponent must have a purpose, and he did not hesitate to ask for help. He just silently followed him and watched the intense game on the field.

Gradually, Joseph discovered that this battle ball game was more intense than expected. It was also a battle ball. When passing or shooting, it could change various unexpected arcs, whether it was skill or physical fitness. Or the overall offensive and defensive cooperation, it is stronger than any game I have seen, including the two teams of the Guards and the Guards, which are currently the highest in Darkmoon, which can be said to be a notch higher than them. "How is this team? Like?" The other party finally spoke.

"I've never seen such superb ball skills, it's hard to imagine that they are only middle-level demons," Joseph replied truthfully, "If there are eleven people, and they all reach this level and cooperation, I believe they can sweep the darkness. Any team of the month, official and private."

"To be precise, there are twenty people, and nine are substitutes. When Darkmoon just started to try out the battle ball, they already have the highest level of the current Darkmoon team." "Agulie" burst out a Suddenly; "Because, the battle ball was created by me."

Joseph was taken aback. This battle ball greatly improved the combat power of the Darkmoon Army, and also brought unimaginable huge economic benefits. Unexpectedly, it came from the hands of Agulie!

"I don't need a dark moon that is dying and is on the verge of death. What I need is a real prosperous and powerful territory." Chen Rui's tone seems to be that the dark moon is not currently in charge of Shia, but his "Agulie Beelzebub".

"Remember what I said, my true identity makes it impossible for me to control the dark moon on the bright side. I need a spokesperson. It depends on whether you have the courage." Chen Rui's tone made Joseph's eyes brighten. Could it be that this "Agulie" already has a perfect plan, and sooner or later Dark Moon will be in his pocket?

"What do I need to do?" Joseph changed his mind and asked decisively. If he can control the dark moon and force Shia into a real empty shell, then he will definitely be appreciated and affirmed by the imperial capital. The Dark Moon of his base is the foundation, no matter how much Zhuoqi suppresses him, he can still be invincible. When necessary, they can also sell the Beelzebub family to the imperial capital in exchange for their own interests.

Chen Rui didn't say much, just pointed to the players who were fighting fiercely on the court. Joseph frowned and suddenly understood something; "You mean battle ball..."

"Actually, when you came to this place today, you should have seen the dawn of your own victory." Chen Rui let out a confident laughter from behind the mask, "It depends on how you play this game."

Joseph didn't agree immediately, but fell into deep thought, before speaking after a long while; "With the chips I have now, I'm afraid I won't bet enough with the eldest princess."

"How about adding all the properties of the night market and the cloak club?" Chen Rui continued to yòuhuò this cunning enemy, "I will create some conflicts and openly break with Shia at the right time, but, there is one thing I need to explain first, I am the real master of Dark Moon. Your destination is not here, but in Chiyou. After Dark Moon succeeds, I will fully support you in seeking the position of Chiyou in the next step. Although your father in the middle of the Demon Emperor is legitimate In prime years, but... people always encounter some accidents, don't they? Future lords?"

Joseph heard it, "Agulie" helping him like this is nothing more than trying to use his status as a financial officer and the relationship between the imperial capital to control the dark moon on the bright side, but this can just resolve his current crisis, it can be regarded as Mutual advantage. If the other party is helping him without asking for anything, it is doubtful.

The 'Lord Chiyou' proposed by the other party also made Joseph very excited. At present, he has been praised by the regent of the imperial capital for his whistleblowing. If there is another "accident" from his father, the position of the lord will be vacant. , his hope of becoming a lord should be far greater than that of Carnita.

"Agulie" lurked beside Shia, deceived the trust step by step, and planned the appearance of the battle ball. He did not hesitate to bet on the painstaking night market and cloak meeting, in order to control the dark moon and revive the Beelzebub family. Judging from the quality of the players in front of him, as long as Shia enters this trap, he will definitely lose.

Now it depends on how to let Shia enter this gambling game. In this regard, Joseph is quite confident, because now Darkmoon's Chamber of Commerce and a considerable part of the economic power are still in his hands, and he hasn't handed it over for a day. Shia doesn't completely control Darkmoon in one day.

No matter from which point of view, this plan is completely feasible!

Unless, "Agulie" suddenly loses his mind and wants to hand over the future of the Beelzebub royal family and the power that has been painstakingly managed to hand over to the enemy Lucifer royal family, and he will be buried with him as a financial officer.

is it possible?

The expression on Joseph's face became more and more determined, and finally stood up without hesitation; "I bet!"

The financial officer who thinks he has the chance to win may not know a word, that is; everything is possible. ! .
