Chapter 189: Phyllis’ Desperate Gamble!
Su Han was speechless. Apparently, Xiao Yu’er had misunderstood something. He pushed the black robe in his hand aside and said, “Xiao Yu’er, I’m fine. My body and bones are fine.”
He opened his hand and said, “This isn’t my blood…”
After Xiao Yu’er examined Su Han’s body, there was indeed no injury at all. She stared blankly at Su Han’s face and could not speak for a moment.
Su Han rubbed her hair and said with a smile, “It’s alright. Big Brother has settled an old score. Hurry up and go back to rest. You still have school tomorrow.”
…
The next day, the entire city was in an uproar.
The Werewolf Guild, which had monopolized the business of Saint Laurent City for decades, was actually slaughtered in one night.
Including the Guild Leader of the Werewolf Guild, Nova, a dozen of the upper echelons of the Werewolf Guild, as well as a large number of elite guards who were loyal to the Werewolf Guild, were all slaughtered.
The soldiers of Saint Laurent City had already surrounded the Werewolf Guild, but the people still saw corpses being carried out from the Werewolf Guild one after another. A few of the onlookers who were lucky enough to see the full picture of the corpses could not help but vomit.
Their state of death was too cruel.
For a moment, the entire Saint Laurent City was in a panic.
The magic between the west and the orcs was escalating day by day. The war was already predictable. and at this time, such a thing actually happened to the Werewolf Guild in Saint Laurent City.
The army of Saint Laurent City had already posted notices throughout the city, saying that the residents should try not to go out in the next few days. The officials were doing their best to hunt down the murderer who had slaughtered the Werewolf Guild.
“President Phyllis, are your injuries better?”
Skywind Chamber of Commerce.
Phyllis stood on the stage and gathered all the members of Skywind Chamber of Commerce. Her body was wrapped in bandages, but her eyes were as calm as a deep pool.
“The Werewolf Guild was completely wiped out last night. I’m sure you’ve heard about it as well!”
The members of Skywind Chamber of commerce whispered to each other. Everyone in the city knew about this matter.
Phyllis’ voice suddenly became louder. She said, “Do you know that after the Werewolf Guild was destroyed, the major markets under their control had entered a blank period? Most of the other chambers of commerce in Saint Laurent City have cooperative relationships with the Werewolf Guild. The destruction of the Werewolf Guild has a huge impact on them. The only independent chamber of commerce that has the strength to compete with them is our Skywind Chamber of Commerce.”
Phyllis said expressionlessly, “Right now, the entire city is in chaos. This is a good opportunity for our Skywind Chamber of Commerce to rise to the top. Once the other chambers of commerce recover from the aftermath of the destruction of the Werewolf Guild, our Skywind Chamber of Commerce will have a lot of difficulties in advancing. Do you understand what I mean?”
The expressions of the surrounding people changed drastically.
A white-haired old man frowned and said, “Young Miss, the Werewolf Guild has monopolized the market of Saint Laurent City for more than ten years, not giving any way for other chambers of commerce to survive. Such despicable behavior is really deserving of death, but… Young Miss, could it be that you want our Skywind Chamber of commerce to follow the evil path of the Werewolf Guild?”
Phyllis said expressionlessly, “That’s right!”
The expressions of the people below changed as they started to discuss animatedly.
Another old man from the Skywind Chamber of Commerce stood out, he said in surprise, “Young Lady, when the old master was still alive, we were taught many times that the most important thing in business is honesty. Mutual benefit is the correct path. Once we walk on the path of monopoly, we will definitely become enemies with other chambers of commerce. At that time, our Skywind Chamber of Commerce will be isolated. Don’t tell me that we will also become evil dragons?”
Phyllis said expressionlessly, “Right now, I am the President of the Skywind Chamber of Commerce. What I say is the policy of the Skywind Chamber of Commerce. The decision I make is the path the Skywind Chamber of Commerce will take in the future.”
“You are all old men of the Skywind Chamber of Commerce. Whether you want to leave or stay, it’s up to you.”
Several white-haired old men gritted their teeth and left with a flick of their sleeves. Several people left one after another in the crowd. A moment later, nearly one-third of the Skywind Chamber of Commerce had left.
“Very good,” Phyllis said expressionlessly.
“In a month’s time, our Skywind Chamber of Commerce will take over all the shops and properties of the Werewolf Guild and put up their signboards under the name of the Skywind Chamber of Commerce.”
Phyllis returned to her room. Along the way, her maidservant followed by her side, wanting to say something but hesitating.
“Young Miss, perhaps you should listen to their persuasion. The Skywind Chamber of Commerce has just stepped onto the right track. It’s really…”
In the room, Phyllis sat in front of her desk. She looked at the thick stack of land deeds in her hand and said in a low voice, “Do you know who was responsible for the destruction of the Werewolf Guild yesterday?”
The maid shook her head. But a moment later, her expression changed. She vaguely realized something.
Phyllis raised her head and looked into her eyes. “Do you recognize these?”
She pushed the thick stack of land deeds in front of her. The maid flipped through the pages, and with each page, her face turned paler.
“That’s right. These are the real estate deeds of all the shops and properties of the Werewolf Guild in Saint Laurent City,” Phyllis said word by word.
She suddenly stood up and looked out of the window, she said expressionlessly, “Get ready to begin. The Werewolf Guild has all died, but I’ve already investigated clearly. Nova left an illegitimate child in Saint Laurent City. According to the laws of the Empire, as long as it’s a direct inheritance, find him and use his hands to completely wipe out the remnants of the Werewolf Guild from Saint Laurent City!”
The maid hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, “Young Miss, I will make the arrangements right away!”
The Young Miss had changed, becoming very unfamiliar.
After the maid left, Phyllis turned her head and bowed respectfully behind the screen, saying in a low voice, “Lord Su Han, I have already followed your orders.”
Outside the screen, a black-robed man slowly walked out. He sat on a chair and drank a cup of tea.
“Phyllis, do you have any dissatisfaction with me interfering in the affairs of your Skywind Chamber of Commerce?”
Phyllis looked at him and shook her head, “Sir, not only did you save the Skywind Chamber of Commerce, but you also saved me. No matter what happens after that, Phyllis will do her best to serve you.”
Su Han glanced at her and said, “You are a businesswoman. I don’t think your emotions will really affect your mind.”
Phyllis nodded, she said straightforwardly, “I won’t hide it from you, my Lord. The power you displayed last night and the destruction of the Werewolf Guild have already shown a lot of things. Your future will definitely not be limited to Saint Laurent City. This time, I’m just making an investment. A desperate investment.”
Su Han smiled and said, “Very good. I like people who tell the truth.”
