Players' NPC boss

Herbie Hermes, a strange one among the senior partners of [Hermes' Brigade Hat].

Almost all senior partners joined [Hermes Brigade Hat] when it was rising. At that time, there were many chambers of commerce in the world, and the battles between chambers of commerce could be described as vying for the throne.

And Herbie appeared when [Hermes' Brigade Hat] was lonely. That was the time when [Hermes' Brigade Hat] spent a lot of manpower and material resources to launch the [Teleport Tower] plan.

It is not an easy task to build a landmark-like building in the city-states of various kingdoms. The city wants to negotiate, local small groups want to buy it off, and other chambers of commerce have to deliberately create obstacles and raise the prices of building materials.

Compared with these things, finding a magician willing to make the core of the teleportation tower is the easiest part.

[Hermes' Brigade Hat] It took twenty years to build most of the teleportation tower, but the Chamber of Commerce itself was about to go bankrupt. To make matters worse, the spiritual leader of the chamber of commerce, the president, died of overwork. [Hermes' Traveling Hat] has almost turned into a piece of rotten flesh, and even the hyenas passing by don't even want to take a bite.

In this case, a girl named Herbie Hermes appeared with a large sum of money.

At that time, Herbie had long hair and glasses. Although she looked like a country girl, she was sharp-tongued and very smart. Instead of using her own funds, she went to find nobles who had stupid money and good face.

Exaggerate the results, arouse the greed of the other party, put money on the other party's face, and make appropriate requests, so that the other party will not be willing to take out the funds. Even if you can't get funds, you can exploit other chambers of commerce in the territory, or deal with small groups in the territory that like to cause trouble.

Stealing, cheating, and trading, Herbie used his own methods to climb to the position of senior partner, and made no secret of his ambition to become the president.

It is the power of the senior partners to summon all senior partners to a meeting at a designated place. But Herbie has never used this power. She always knows what's appropriate and knows that so-called businessmen must not be arrogant. Humility and consideration are the keys to doing good business.

Therefore, the senior partners did not feel slighted at first, but felt interested. Why is this ambitious man who hides in the dark, quietly cannibalizing other forces, and strengthening himself suddenly so upright?

So they happily accepted this rally signal which was no different from a provocation. As soon as they stepped out of the portal, they were stunned.

This is a Hongmen Banquet.

The elves who are separated from the world but are the spokespersons of the golden tree sea stand on both sides with solemn expressions, like servants welcoming guests. And those whose identities are enough to make this group of ancient races honest and obedient are the great lions, the great men and horses, and the lion god who is about to transform.

Considering that behind the great lion there is the Alliance of Arcadia and the Giant Kingdom, as well as the Holy Cross Theocracy, which is currently looking for a way to show its goodwill, and the great centaur represents the era of the extinct gods, the lion god is about to be enshrined by the new civilization. New God…

This lineup made the senior partners suspicious, and Herbie finally decided not to fight for power and planned to kill them directly.

But they saw Herbie, who was pierced through the chest like a sacrifice, and the blood-stained snow looked like a sad dead tree. The silver wolf holding Herbie seemed to be seriously injured, which was so depressing that it made people feel horrified.

While the senior partners stood stiffly on the spot, an incoherent voice came from behind the crowd.

"Really? Are you going to die too?"

It was an extremely young man, frivolously holding a bouquet of flowers and tapping his shoulder. The petals fell one by one under the hammering, paving a path of flowers, and finally the young man walked in front of Blaze.

“Am I here for a funeral, or am I here to celebrate a new life?”

The young man placed the bouquet with few petals left at Blaze's feet, as if Blaze was Herbie's tombstone.

"[Hermes' Brigade Hat] is really full of talents."

Blaze glanced around, and no one was human. Most of them are nobles in the dark world, and there are even dragons, but they all look like humans.

"Of course. In the early days of the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, these guys were really big grudges. They were so poor that they only had treasure." The young man laughed nonchalantly, and the expressions of the big grudges behind him became darker one by one.

"Then who are you?" Blaze narrowed his eyes. The young man's name was displayed as [? ? ? 】.

"As the acting president of [Hermes' Brigade Hat], you can call me Cylene, or you can just call me a thief or a liar. You can call me a fool. After all, a name is just a code name. That’s all.”

"Idiot..."

"Wait a minute -" Seeing Blaze calling the last name so straightforwardly, Kulenie hurriedly corrected her, "Kulenie, just call me Kulenie!"

"You're really weird. When you introduce yourself, you have to introduce your own nickname, and it's still a nickname like idiot."

"Fool is not my nickname, the first two are... ugh! Why am I so mean-mouthed!" Kulenie slapped her mouth hard twice, regretting it.

"Let's get to the point, great lion. You don't look like you are going to negotiate properly by putting on such a big show."

After Kulenie patted her mouth red, she straightened her face.

"As you can see, Herbie has entered a dangerous situation. I hope you will not let anyone know about this until Herbie recovers, and do not erode Herbie's power."

Blaze didn't test it and directly stated his request.

"This is really difficult. It's like asking beggars to guard a mountain of gold and silver. Not only are beggars not allowed to rob, but they have to use the gold and silver to make a profit."

The senior partners who are called beggars looked even darker.

"This is a completely loss-making business. Why should we do this?"

Blaze did not answer, and Chiron knew that he should take action. As a child-rearing robot, he also has a rich knowledge reserve related to this kind of negotiation and consultation.

Chiron stepped forward very confidently. If he did not take action, it would be fine. Once he took action, it would be earth-shattering.

"Your current structure is what the Age of Gods has left. If you disagree, I will deal a devastating blow to your economic structure, or I will build the Goblin Chamber of Commerce in the most perfect model. Believe me, your largest customer group, the foreigners, will like the Goblin Chamber of Commerce very much."

Threat! ?

Blaze's eyes widened. He asked Chiron to think of a solution, not to hit hard.

Chiron gave Blaze a thumbs up.

Even the truth is within the range of the cannon, let alone trading.
