Chapter 1297 Fierce

After that, I talked to Anna about some of the benefits that would be gained by making friends with Mrs. Swift.

Anna obediently accepted every word I said.

After finishing what I wanted to say, I stared at Anna and found that the girl's expression was a little tangled, as if she wanted to say something but was hesitant to say it.

"What doubts do you have?" I asked.

"Yes, store manager," Anna said, "I don't understand why a person with such a distinguished status as you is afraid of the boss of a lending organization?"

"It looks like I'm afraid?" I asked her.

She nodded.

"That's right," I smiled, "I just want him to feel that I'm afraid of him."

"But why?"

"Because he is a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Because the more he feels that I am afraid of him, the more he will bully me even harder, and the more he will unleash the arrogance in his heart more unscrupulously."

After a pause, I continued: "You know, the more arrogant a person is, the more obvious his flaws are."

"So store manager, you did all this for..."

At this point, Ana covered her mouth in surprise.

"Yes," I said, "I want to find out his flaws, his shortcomings, and then uproot him, and then..."

I made a throat-cutting gesture.

Anna was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly her face turned pale: "Store manager, did I hear something I shouldn't have heard?"

"In principle, yes," I said.

She instantly became frightened.

"But," I said, "since I am the one who answered you, it means that I have no intention of hiding it from you, but it does not mean that you are completely fine."

"Store manager." Anna continued to tremble, like a frightened hamster.

"From now on, no matter what questions anyone asks you, you are not to reveal a single word of our conversation today, remember?"

"Remember" Anna said.

"Also, if someone wants to deal with you, just shout out that you and Mrs. Swift are friends. I believe that with Swift's status and popularity here, someone will definitely come to your rescue. of."

"Yes, yes, I remember," Anna said fearfully, "But, store manager, will I be in danger?"

"Well, there will definitely be danger, but as long as you shout in time and loudly, you won't lose your life."

"What!" Anna's face turned pale with fright.

"You're kidding," I said, "As long as you continue to live according to your daily schedule, there will be no problem. No one will be stupid enough to provoke Mrs. Swift's friends in this land."

"That's good, it scared me to death," Anna said, patting her chest.

That afternoon, when I returned to the basement of the New Valiant Guild, there were already two more people.

To be precise, they were two people being tortured.

Although I don't know them, I am familiar with their aura. They are the two who followed me before.

When the two of them saw me, they immediately put on an arrogant expression and shouted out that they were the fat boss's subordinates and asked me to let them go, otherwise they would make me look good.

I sympathize with the intelligence of both men.

Since I can enter this secret room, it means that I am on the same side as those who tortured you. How can you still dare to clamor for me to let you go?

At this time, the most correct thing for you to do is to plop down, kneel on the ground, and beg me to intercede with Boss Rennes and let you two go.

Oh, I'm sorry, I was negligent. You are hanging now and your knees can't even touch the ground.

"Now that we have captured both of them," I said to Boss Ren, "you must have figured out the whereabouts of everyone related to that guy."

"Yes," Boss Ren said, "We've figured it all out. What's missing is the information about these two people."

"You bastard, how dare you betray our boss!" the two said angrily.

"Betrayal?" I sneered: "You can't even talk about it. I have been in two camps with your boss from the beginning, so how can we talk about betrayal?"

The two were stunned.

It's no wonder they didn't see it. After all, I had always been groveling to their boss, like a slave. Even the people around me were deceived, let alone them.

I turned to Boss Rennes and said, "This plan is going to be accelerated. We cannot delay the bigger plan because of them."

"Okay," Boss Ren said.

After that, I turned around and left the basement.

It's not that I didn't want to hear their confessions immediately, it was just that I couldn't stand the screams and the various horrific execution methods.

After dusk, Boss Lane came out of the basement and handed me a compiled document.

"Have you checked everything out?" I asked.

"It was found out," he said: "This organization not only involves several shops with some status in Balan City, but also involves some nobles. Moreover, except for the envoy, the other three bosses are all nobles."

"There are four bosses in total, three of them are nobles." I frowned and couldn't help but said, "There is indeed some trouble."

After thinking for a while, I said, "Can you find out that these three bosses have connections with those nobles?"

"This is easy," Boss Ren said, "But after you find out, what are you going to do?"

"Let's weigh the possible impact first," I said. "After all, if the New Heroic Guild wants to gain a foothold, it must first establish a good relationship with the big guys here."

"If these people are backed by big nobles, what are you going to do?" Boss Ren asked.

"Then we can only talk to the big nobles first," I said, "and see if they are willing to let go."

"What if they refuse?" Boss Renne asked again.

"If you don't want to, just be cowardly," I said. "The only way is to first strengthen the strength and influence of the New Heroic Guild in Dashai City and start a long-term war."

"Well, this is a solution," said Boss Ren, "but it may affect the big plan."

"It will definitely have an impact," I said, "but the impact shouldn't be big. When this plan conflicts with the big plan, I will put it on hold and concentrate on executing the big plan."

"Details determine success or failure," said Boss Rennes.

Nodding, I said, "Of course I won't give up on my little plan, I'm just going to put it on hold for the time being, or find someone else to help me execute it."

Having said this, I looked at Boss Renne and said, "Are your men qualified for such a task now?"

Boss Rennes shook his head: "They are still too young and easy to be impulsive."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh: "That's really a pity. I really want to see what your men can do."

"You will see it, but not now," Boss Ren said.

"Then let's put the matter of sending others aside for now. If possible, try to get this matter settled before the end of the Zephyr Hegemony Tournament."

After a moment of silence, I looked sharply and continued: "If we can do it without anyone noticing, it won't matter if we assassinate a few nobles."
