Devil’s Son-in-Law

Dark Moon City.

The treasurer's residence.

Joseph. Alvin is listening to the report of subordinate Royce.

“Last month, our magic store experienced the biggest drop in revenues, reaching 35 percent, while other comprehensive revenues rose slightly, at about 1 percent, due to treasure. ”

Joseph frowned slightly: “So much for the magic store? Is it because the cloak is a magic store? ”

Royce nodded: “Well, since the cloak magic shop had that master sitting in town, every time the merchandise was dumped, our customers were taken from it. Other shops of the Chamber of Commerce have been sanctioned by the Elder Princess, such as the inability to join the night market, the addition of similar competitive shops in the vicinity of the original store, and the new Chamber of Commerce 'Moon Man’, jointly founded by the Custer family and the Elder Princess, have pushed us to the edge of the cliff. ”

“What about the Mellons? ”

“As far as I know, the Mellons have been secretly kind to the Elder Princess all morning, their property has not been hit as hard as ours, and two other stores have been allowed to join the night market.” Royce shows ridicule: “The same goes for some of our little families who used to depend on us. Those guys are the ones who fall on both sides of the wallgrass and can't even rely on them. ”

“I didn't plan on relying on these guys from the start.” Joseph shook his head: “The emergence of this treasure turned some of the original mistakes of the Elder Princess into the most effective means, such as road repair, shop repair, etc., as if it was ready. When I actually offered to sponsor half of the expenses for free, now that I think about it, it seems to be the feeling of meddling. ”

Royce's heart moved to reveal the colour of his thoughts: “I had thought about it this way, but the Fountain of Life should not be fake, and Chen Rui's awakening is the best proof. Moreover, just yesterday at an auction, Asina's last bottles of the Fountain of Life were sold at an astonishing price, a pharmacist from the Shadow Empire, and the Blue Pool Mountains do have an otherwise unknown mysterious treasure, as seen by Fountain of Life and indelible treasurers. ”

“Auction?” This new noun stunned Joseph.

“Shortly after his return, the adult may not know that the newly opened auction house of the Dark Moon is a new industry run directly by the Lord, located in the northwest neighborhood, large and well guarded, and specially invited several masters of the League of Shadow Imperial Manufacturers to set up complex defensive magic arrays through the caster family of the Shadow Empire, with a high degree of security. Guests may place valuable items in the auction house, which will identify and evaluate them, and then hold an open auction at a certain time, the higher of which will draw 20 percent of the amount of the transaction as a reward. ”

Twenty percent? ”Joseph was moving, he was an expert in economics, and the auction house was just a transit role, amounting to a wolf with bare gloves, and he actually earned 20 percent of the profits, and the higher the transaction price, the higher the profits, and it was like a money shaking tree.

“In addition to the Fountain of Life, there are also treasures provided by the Palace and several families. The most notable treasures from the Blue Pool Mountains commissioned by a visitor attracted a large number of bidders and the scene was extremely hot. The success of this auction led many people to start booking tickets for the next auction in advance. ”

Joseph's eyes fluttered: "Just because the Lord is directly in charge, no one else is qualified to emulate it, which is tantamount to monopolizing this enormous interest, what an auction house! ”

Royce knew that Shea had been inactive until now, and Joseph would have thought of that, so he said, "I'm assuming that this auction house's idea probably originated from that Chen Rui, and should be a reproduction of the human world again. ”

“Not bad, I think so too,” Joseph's eyebrows locked tightly: “The dark moon has changed too fast and too much over the past six months. The princess house, the battle ball, the night market, the Shadow Empire Custer family have moved into the dark moon to co-host the new chamber of commerce, the dark moon renovation, the auction house... Of these changes, it must have been this human idea behind me, it seems that I have always underestimated this insignificant little bug...”

Your strength now is in front of people, it's the little bugs. Royce said in his heart a seemingly worrying look: "Now that the trend of the dark moon has basically taken shape, even if it kills this human being in secret, it doesn't help. The most important thing for us is to think about how to recover this disadvantage, otherwise we will be completely crushed as long as we follow this trend and do not need each other's efforts. ”

Joseph nodded his face, and his situation had been really bad lately, as was the case on the dark moon side, and Red Ghost was sad the same day. Although he was not caught snitching hard evidence to the Emperor on the “Charles" affair, his father Drocher had clearly begun to alienate him and there was a hidden trend of sanctions against some policies in Mordor Town.

The only consolation was that of Prince Obsidian from Didu, who expressed considerable appreciation for his loyalty to Didu and to the King Regent this time, and implicitly pointed out some of the outstanding shortcomings of the current Lord of the Red Phantom, with the implicit implication of looking after Joseph's future succession to his territory.

In the present case, this “inheritance” is clearly a distant one, and Tidu's praise is merely rhetorical. But Joseph had no regrets, because if Charles and Canita were allowed to work together, he would most likely face a real failure, not passivity.

Moreover, it is not entirely impossible to “inherit” the Lord in advance, a possibility based on certain “unexpected” circumstances, such as outstanding health problems… He not only has the long-term support of the Emperor, but also has a profoundly unpredictable ally in front of him, Agulet, heir to the corrupt royal family. Don't be cynical.

It was just a letter sent by Agulet inviting him to the cape for a review. The last time Agulet reminded him to destroy Canita's enormous interests in a timely manner, this meeting may be an opportunity for him to emerge from his immediate predicament.

“Agulet" invited him to meet him at the second stronghold of the cloak club in the northwest neighborhood, where the Mellon family was originally located, occupying a considerable mask and of great value. Later, the Mellon family was forced out of the house on suspicion of assassinating the head of the cloak club and smuggling people, and was transferred by Princess Shia to the cloak as compensation.

Until someone found out that the treasurer was secretly in contact with the cloak, Joseph was specially decorated to come to the house, and soon, he was lured into a new venue soon after.

The exterior of the venue was heavily guarded, as if it were something heavy, but after entering it, it was actually an indoor battlefield, but it seemed to be a standard three-person venue, and the old friend Agulet sat beside him in his spare time watching a three-on-three battleball match on the field.

Those players, all wearing strange masks, couldn't see their true faces.

Joseph is the only audience except Agulet.

“You're here, my friend.” Agulet didn't get up, didn't look at him, just one finger next to him: “Sit down. ”

Joseph already knows that this “ally” is at least the stronger of the Great Demon King, and in his current situation, the other party's attitude is pretty good.

Joseph sat down and listened only to "Agulet," he said softly: "As far as I can tell, you seem to be in a lot of trouble lately, whether it's the Red Ghost or the Dark Moon, and it doesn't look good. ”

“Yes, it's not good.” Joseph sighed, without denying it, knowing that this man was a man of vast intelligence, especially intelligence, and that the collusion between Kanita and foreign humans, "Agulet”, had been revealed to him, arguably pulling him back from the cliff. Of course, Joseph was not very grateful, because both parties were using each other, and the other was helping him because he still had the value to use.

Contrary to this strong and weak relationship, Joseph is now on the weak side, both of personal strength and power, so he needs to reflect his values and further leverage the other's power to reverse his current disadvantages.

Chen Rui looked at Joseph's expression and said, "So, do you have the courage to gamble with everything? ”

“Bet on everything?” Joseph revealed his suspicions. How can you turn the table if you bet on everything?

Chen Rui nodded, but did not go on to explain, only to look at the battle in the field. Joseph didn't have a good time: did he come here just to watch the ball?

But Joseph was not a patient man, knowing that he must have a purpose, and he didn't have the nerve to ask for help at the moment, he just silently followed him to the fierce game on the field.

Gradually, Joseph discovered that the battleball game was even more intense than he had ever imagined, and that it was also a battleball, and that he could change unexpected arcs when transmitting or shooting, whether in skill and physical fitness or overall defensive coordination, than any game he had ever seen, including the two teams with the highest current dark moon levels, one rank higher than them.

“What about this team?” The other side finally spoke.

“I've never seen such a superb game before, and it's hard to imagine them being just mid-level demons,” Joseph replied honestly, "if there were eleven people, and they all reached that level and cooperated, I believe they could sweep through any team in the Dark Moon official and folk. ”

“Twenty, to be exact, and nine are replacements, and just when the Dark Moon started piloting battle balls, they already had the highest level of the Dark Moon team today.” Agulet "pops up a raw material:“ Because I created the battle ball. ”

Joseph was surprised that this battle ball greatly increased the strength of the Dark Moon Army, and that it brought unimaginable tremendous economic gains. It came from Agulet!

“I don't need an old, dying dark moon, I need a truly prosperous and powerful territory.” Chen Rui's tone is as if the master of the dark moon is not Thea, but this one. "Aguri. Don't be shy."

“Remember I said that my true identity made it impossible for me to control the Dark Moon now, and I needed a spokesperson to see if you had that courage.” Chen Rui's tone dazzled Joseph. Is it possible that this "Agulet" already has a plan? Sooner or later, the Dark Moon will be in his pocket?

“What do I need to do?” Joseph turned his mind and asked decisively, if he could control the Dark Moon and force Shea into a true empty shell, he would surely be appreciated and affirmed by the Emperor. With the current Dark Moon as the foundation, even if Zhuozheng could crush him again, he could stand undefeated. If necessary, the Pessibs can also be sold to the Emperors in exchange for their own interests.

Chen Rui didn't say much, just pointed to the fiercely confronted player on the field, Joseph frowned and suddenly understood what: “You mean battle ball...”

“In fact, coming to this place today, you should have seen the dawn of your victory.” Chen Rui's mask was followed by a cheeky laugh, "depending on how you went to bet on this one. ”

Joseph did not immediately say yes, but was caught in contemplation and asked half the time: "With the chips in my hand now, I'm afraid I won't be able to gamble with the eldest princess enough. ”

“What about all the industries at the night market and the cloak club?” Chen Rui continues to seduce this sly enemy, "I will create some contradictions in due course and break with Shea openly, but one thing first of all, I am the true master of the Dark Moon, your destination is not here, but in the Red Ghost. When the Dark Moon succeeds, I will fully support you in your quest for the Red Ghost location. Though your father in the middle of the Demon Emperor is growing up,... people always have some accidents, don't they? Lord of the future? ”

Joseph heard that Aguri was helping him with nothing more than trying to take advantage of his treasurer's identity and emperor's relationship to control the dark moon brightly, but that would solve his current crisis, which could be kind of a mutual use. It is doubtful if the other party helps him in vain.

Joseph was similarly thrilled by the "Red Phantom Lord" proposed later on, and now he has been admired by the Emperor Regent for snitching. If there were any more "accidents” by his father that would leave him vacant, his chances of becoming a Lord should be far greater than Canita's.

“Aguri" lurked around Shia, deceiving trust step by step, and planning the emergence of battle balls, despite betting on the painstaking night market and cloak club, in order to control the Dark Moon revival of the Besib clan, from the quality of the players in front of him, as long as Shia enters this trap, there is absolutely no doubt that he will lose.

Joseph has a lot of confidence in how to get Thea into this game right now, because now the Chamber of Commerce of the Dark Moon and a good part of the economic power is still in his hands, and if he doesn't hand it over one day, Thea doesn't have complete control over the Dark Moon one day.

From either point of view, the plan is totally workable!

Unless “Agulet" suddenly lost his mind, wanting to arch his hands and hand over the future of the Bezib royal family and the forces of his painstaking to the enemies of the Royal family of Lucifer and to accompany him to his burial as a financial officer.

Is that possible?

Joseph's face became more and more resolute and eventually stood up without hesitation: "I bet! ”

The treasurer who thinks he's holding the ticket may not know the phrase: Anything is possible.

PS: It was supposed to be a Friday, it should be easier. I didn't know I was suddenly on an emergency business trip with the leader in the morning. I just returned. I didn't want to have a free dinner, so hurry back and update. Please excuse me.
