Li Huailin didn't know that the two of them were selling themselves off. He was in trouble. He couldn't find the people from the Snake King Association and couldn't get in touch with them. This was the result Li Huailin got after waiting for a day.
"What? Can't get in touch? " Li Huailin looked at the four people who had their heads down. They were Porter and the other three. The two presidents of the Chamber of Commerce couldn't find the other party's boss after searching for a whole day.
"Your Excellency, we have just arrived in the southern part of the empire and have little contact with the Snake King Association, so we really can't help," Porter said. He looked at Stantine next to him. After all, the Creaven Chamber of Commerce had been here for a long time.
"Your Excellency, the Snake King Association is a very large organization, and its headquarters is not in Degara City. We have conveyed our intention to meet, but they haven't responded yet," Stantine explained.
"I have waited for a whole day, but there is still no response …" Li Huailin was just about to say something when an employee suddenly ran in and reported to everyone, "President, there is a person at the door who claims to be from the Snake King Association …"
"Hmm?" As the saying goes, speak of the devil. Stantine heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Then hurry and invite him in."
"But … but he said to let Your Excellency out to see him …" The employee said cautiously.
"What?" Pollitt, Stantine, and the others stood up. "Did they really say to let His Excellency the Duke out? That means he knows who Your Excellency is, right? "
"Yes, he did say 'Your Excellency the Duke'," the staff immediately said.
"Oh?" Li Huailin was also slightly surprised. "Interesting."
"Your Excellency?" The two of them were stunned. It was obvious that the other party was not giving them face. They thought that it was normal for Li Huailin to flirt, but they didn't expect such a small reaction.
"Alright, I will go out and have a look," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Your Grace, this is beneath your dignity." Stantine immediately stood up and said, "I'll speak to them personally."
"No need, no need." Li Huailin waved his hand, stood up, and walked out. Stantine and the rest hurriedly followed.
When Li Huailin reached the entrance, he saw an arrogant teenager dressed in black standing at the entrance of the Creven Chamber of Commerce's branch. This human NPC looked very young, probably in his twenties. He had a big build and a burly figure. At a glance, one could tell that he was a fighter. Seeing the person at the entrance, the NPC quickly walked over.
Li Huailin raised his head and looked at the other's name. It was Loken, not Malev, which meant that it wasn't Snake King himself. It seemed like he was Snake King's lackey. He didn't expect the underworld in the game to be so arrogant.
"Are you the Duke?" Loken looked at Li Huailin and said, "You're looking for our boss? Alright, come with me. "
"What kind of attitude is this?!" Stantine immediately said. This place was also his territory (the entrance of the Creven Chamber of Commerce). How was he going to explain this to the Duke?
"It's fine, it's fine." Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "Let's go, then."
Fortunately, Li Huailin's knights weren't around. Otherwise, they would have already started fighting. Right now, the few people present were only merchants. Looking at the other party's physique, they knew that they couldn't defeat him. Since Li Huailin had spoken, they obeyed and prepared to meet Snake King Malev first. However, as soon as they took a step forward, Loken spoke again.
"I'm sorry, but our boss has only invited His Grace. The rest of you don't have to follow," Loken said.
"You!" Porter almost couldn't hold it in anymore. No matter what, he was the chairman of one of the top chambers of commerce in the Empire. What kind of society in this country bumpkin area was so arrogant? However, before he could say anything, he was stopped by Li Huailin.
"It's fine, it's fine. You guys wait here, I'll be back soon," Li Huailin said with an amiable smile.
"His Grace," Porter said worriedly, "Over there …"
"Porter, it's better if you don't go. Otherwise, the scene might scare you," Li Huailin suddenly said in a deep voice.
"Uh … Yes, His Grace." On the other side, Pollitt instantly broke out in cold sweat. This voice was really creepy. He hurriedly nodded his head.
Hence, Li Huailin left with Loken, leaving Porter, Stantine, and the others behind. Stantine had just joined Li Huailin, so he didn't really know Li Huailin's temper. He was a little worried about Li Huailin going deep into the tiger's den alone to look for Malev.
"Is this really fine, Guild Leader Pollitt? If anything happens to His Grace, it will be a huge problem, "Stantine said anxiously.
"Uh … I think we should listen to His Grace," Porter said. "Although I haven't spent a lot of time with Sir Duke, the last time I saw such an expression on Sir Duke's face was when the Elves sent a few messengers to ask Sir Duke to return their land … After that, the two messengers were sent to the military brothel and haven't been released yet. One of the male messengers … Let's not talk about it, my ass hurts … Of course, I guess you've heard about what happened after that …"
"After that, there was a war between the Elves and the Humans. The one where the Silverwind Guards were completely annihilated?" Stantine also remembered. This battle was naturally very famous, but he didn't expect the cause of it to be like this.
Porter didn't say anything and only nodded. "I have a feeling that something big is going to happen … I think it's better for us to be prepared."
"Okay." Stantine also nodded.
On Li Huailin's side, he followed Loken in a certain direction in Degara City. It was because Li Huailin didn't know the way to Degara City at all, so he couldn't understand where Loken was going. After walking for a while, the two came to the door of an ordinary-looking four-story building. It seemed to be just a relatively tall ordinary house, not a noble house. However, after entering the door, Li Huailin found that the interior of the building was quite spacious, and they could walk all the way inside.
After walking to a place with a large interior space, Li Huailin suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the front. He walked to the door in front of him, and as soon as he opened the door, a lot of shouting and screaming came from inside.
Li Huailin took a closer look and found that this place seemed to be a small arena. On the arena, there were two strong men who were almost naked, and they were slashing at each other with weapons as if they were in a duel. There were a lot of people below the arena cheering for the people on the arena. The whole scene looked like an underground arena.
"Kill him!"
"Kill him! I bet on you to win! "
A lot of shouting came from all directions. Li Huailin frowned subconsciously. It was too noisy. Fortunately, Loken didn't let Li Huailin stand for too long. Soon, he continued to move toward the stands on the side. At this time, Li Huailin also noticed that compared to the chaotic situation below, the row of stands at the top seemed to be the VIP rooms. Although he could see a few people poking their heads out to look, it looked much quieter overall.
He followed Loken to the door of the largest room. There were also a few people standing at the door. They seemed to be the kind of people who were good at fighting, and they carried weapons with them. These people looked at Loken and then looked at Li Huailin. They didn't react and continued to stand guard.
"Boss is inside, let's go in." Loken said to Li Huailin, then went to the side.
Li Huailin did not hesitate to open the door. The room was different from what he had imagined. It was much brighter than it looked from the outside. Not to mention that there was plenty of light, the soundproofing seemed to be very good. He could not hear the noise from below at all. It seemed like some kind of magic was used.
The room was quite spacious. There were a few sofas and even a bed. There was also a large viewing platform in front of the room that looked like a balcony. Currently, a person was standing on it. Li Huailin took a closer look. This was a human NPC around thirty years old. He didn't look very powerful, or rather, a little thin and weak. Judging from his attire, he didn't look very outstanding, and his face shape was also quite ordinary. However, from the look in his eyes, Li Huailin could tell that this person was not only very shrewd, but also very ambitious. Li Huailin guessed that this person wasn't a pushover.
Looking at the other person's name, it showed that it was Roan Malev. Basically, Li Huailin could confirm that this was the so-called Snake King Malev.
When Malev heard the door open, he turned his head slightly, then turned his head back as if he didn't see Li Huailin. Li Huailin naturally didn't hold back. He walked up to the stand and stood next to Malev. Just as he was about to speak, Malev spoke first.
"Duke." Malev's voice sounded very good. It had a special magnetic feeling to it. It wasn't a seductive voice, but it made people feel very comfortable. Although he was talking to Li Huailin, Malev still didn't look at Li Huailin. He pointed at the arena below and said casually, "Let's play a game."
"Oh? What game? "Li Huailin asked with a smile.
"The two people below, Duke, who do you think will win? Let's guess." Malev pointed at the two people on the stand and said.
"What's the bet?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes." Malev finally smiled and said, "If Your Excellency the Duke wins, I will return that woman to you."
"That woman?" Li Huailin was a little confused, "Which one?"
"Of course it's that female knight," Malev said, "Isn't the duke here for her?"
"Oh, it's her." Li Huailin nodded, "What if I lose?"
"If I lose, I will let that woman go." Malev said.
"Let her go?" Li Huailin was a little surprised, "What's the difference between letting her go and giving her back to me?"
"Of course." Malev suddenly turned his head and said, "Because if this woman is let go, she won't return to Duke. She keeps saying that she has important information to report."
"Oh?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. He suddenly understood what was going on. In theory, according to his identity, no matter if it was the underworld or the government, they wouldn't be so arrogant towards him. Otherwise, they would be courting death. This Snake King Malev wasn't such an idiot, but why was he so arrogant? It was obvious that the other party thought that Li Huailin had grasped his weakness, and this weakness was obviously his identity.
From the conversation just now, it could be seen that the female knight Lisa was definitely in this guy's hands. Of course, this female knight also knew about Li Huailin and had seen Li Huailin use the Godly Sword with her own eyes. She probably told this to Malev, so Malev guessed his double identity based on Lisa's words and the information he gathered. Generally speaking, this was a very good tool to threaten. In order to show his strength, Malev was deliberately being arrogant. He was trying to gain the upper hand here.
Thinking of this, Li Huailin felt that it was quite fun. Suddenly, most of his anger dissipated. After all, it was really interesting. Leaning on the stand, Li Huailin carefully looked at the two duelists below. Then he pointed to one of the duelists who seemed to have a slightly better physique and said, "It's him, the guy in black underwear. I bet he'll win."
Li Huailin's reaction was seen by Malev, who deliberately revealed the information he had. Naturally, it was to make Li Huailin's heart tremble. What Malev didn't expect was that Li Huailin's reaction was really small. He was only a little surprised at the beginning, but then he immediately returned to normal. Such a big secret was obviously exposed in front of him, and it was in his hands, but he didn't seem worried at all. What kind of psychological quality was this, or was this guy not worried at all?
This was slightly out of Malev's expectations, but Malev still thought that he had the upper hand. So he said in a neither hurried nor slow manner, "Manger? Indeed, in terms of martial arts, Manger does have a little advantage, but it's useless. Since the Duke guessed Manger, then I'll guess Gangsha on the opposite side. "
The Gangsha that Malev was talking about was the other person who was currently fighting Manger below. The two were currently fighting fiercely, but looking at the current situation, the Manger that Li Huailin had chosen had the advantage. This was because both of them were only wearing cloth, and the injuries on their bodies were also very clear. It was obvious that Gangsha had slightly more injuries on his body.
After placing their bets, the two of them didn't say anything. They just stood side by side in the stands and watched the match below. Li Huailin also had nothing to do, so he took a look at the match below. The two of them were definitely fighting to the death, and each of their moves were fatal. Both of them were injured, and as their blood flow increased, their condition was getting worse and worse. However, Manger still had a little advantage.
"Puchi!" Just as he was thinking about this, he didn't expect that there would suddenly be a dramatic change on the stage. Manger, who originally had the advantage, suddenly seemed to be distracted for a moment, and then he was directly hit by Gangsha's blade. This blade was very solid, as it pierced into the opponent's abdomen. In an instant, blood flowed all over the ground, directly dyeing the entire ring red. Seeing this bloody scene, the audience beside the ring instantly erupted, shouting loudly, and the whole place was ignited.
"Kill him!" "Kill him!" "Kill him!" "Kill him!"
In the midst of the shouting of the audience, Gangsha, who was covered in wounds, slowly walked towards Manger, then raised his big sword and chopped off Manger's head, and then roared loudly. In an instant, the shouting in the ring once again broke out.
"The winner has been decided." Malev, who was next to him, suddenly smiled and said, "Duke, do you know why you lost?"
Li Huailin rolled his eyes. This was too f * cking obvious, okay? This was your territory to begin with. Whoever you wanted to win would be the winner. What was there to guess? The guy on the stage obviously had the advantage, but he inexplicably lost, why do you think it's because?
"Duke, let me …" On this side, Malev still wanted to show off, but before he could finish his words, he was directly interrupted by Li Huailin.
"Well, it's so boring." Li Huailin stretched his body and said, "This game is too boring. Speaking of which, Mr. Malev, is there any more fun game than this?"
"Eh?" Malev was also a little surprised, this guy didn't follow the script at all, but in order not to let Li Huailin disrupt the pace, Malev smiled and immediately said, "Of course, we can play anything here, I wonder what else does Duke want to play?"
"How about this, let's play a simple game." Li Huailin said with a smile, "In one minute, I bet that you will kneel down and apologize to me. If not, then I lose. If I lose, I will agree to whatever you say. Don't you think this game is more interesting?"
"Huh?" On this side, Malev was also stunned for a long time.
