Joseph walked slowly on the road, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with gloom. It had been like this since he came out of Princess Square.
While passing through a deserted alley, Joseph suddenly stopped and said categorically: "That human must die."
When Royce heard this, he asked in surprise: "Sir, then human beings are just incompetent people. Why..."
Joseph said with solemn eyes: "I saw a lot of things in the princess room just now, not only products, but also potential mysteries. These things, even if you look at the entire devil world, are great innovations. In other words, it is very possible
Coming from outside the demon world, the human being from the ground world is the biggest doubt..."
"Also, I just bid with Allen, not to teach him a lesson, but to raise the price, and then buy the Kong Mingsuo and give it to him, so that I can show favor to the little princess and Allen at the same time. I know Allen very well
With his character, as long as you give him enough face, reconciliation is not difficult." Joseph's face became increasingly gloomy: "I didn't expect that human being to see through my intentions and calmly gave the little princess a hint, so
Only a little princess would do that. As a result, the relationship between the Cuarón family and us will become even worse. If it is not resolved as soon as possible, it may be used by Carnita again."
"Is that human really so powerful? He can actually influence the little princess's decision?" Royce looked surprised, and he had a new understanding of the "master" in his heart. To be recognized by a character like Joseph,
Truly an amazing talent.
"If my guess is correct, the person behind Princess Fang is Chen Rui. The prosperity of Princess Fang today is all due to this human being, so Alice obeyed his words and understood all his intentions with just one look.
.”
Speaking of this, Joseph was inexplicably murderous: "Since this human appeared in Darkmoon City, a series of changes have taken place, whether it is the Master Challenge, the aerial competition, or the Princess Workshop, not to mention his amazing talents.
, even if he is useless and only brings good luck to the eldest princess, I will try to get rid of him!"
If Chen Rui heard this now, I don't know what he would think. In fact, he did not fully see through Joseph's intention. It was just a mistake. However, Joseph's wisdom was indeed not comparable to that of Allen and others. He had already concluded that Princess Fang
He was the one behind the plan, and he also connected the Master Challenge with aerial competition, and even had the so-called "luck theory" factor.
"Sir, leave this matter to me." Royce's mind changed and he immediately asked for help.
Although Joseph was extremely intelligent, he never imagined that this capable subordinate had become the servant of that human being. This invitation to fight was nothing more than a thief calling to catch a thief and an attempt to secretly communicate with the "enemy".
"Royce, I know you are worried about what happened at the magic shop and want to make up for it with merit. I have already said that you are not responsible for this matter. The cause is that bastard Allen." Joseph glanced at him.
Royce's expressionless Vasasha smiled slightly, "As for Chen Rui, I have already planned it. In fact, it is too easy to assassinate this human being. I need his death to be more valuable. The eldest princess is currently watching at leisure.
Since Ellen and I are having fun, let her also be troubled for a while."
"Understood." Royce bowed slightly, with a faint glimmer in his lowered eyes.
The next morning, the quarterly meeting began.
There were many people attending the regular meeting. Chen Rui only knew Joseph and Allen. Others such as Ford, the patriarch of the Seifer family, Carl, the patriarch of the Mellon family, and other representatives of small and medium-sized families, only saw it in that information.
been.
Chen Rui quietly opened his analytical eyes and took in everyone's strengths one by one.
Female boss Shia - Race: Arrogant royal family. Strength assessment: Unable to judge.
Butler Old Gauss - Race: Demon Warrior. Strength Rating: D.
Joseph the Smiling Tiger - Race: Great Demon. Strength Rating: c.
Trash Talking King Allen - Race: Great Demon. Strength Rating: e.
Ford, the elder of the Seifer family - Race: Great Demon. Strength rating: d.
Carl, the patriarch of the Mellon family - the great demon of the race. Strength rating: d.
…
Now that Chen Rui's own strength has reached D level, when using the Analytical Eye, Joseph's strength assessment is no longer "unable to judge", but shown as C level; while Shia's strength is still unable to be judged. Chen Rui
I am already quite proficient in using the Analytical Eye, and I know that this skill can analyze the strength of a level higher than the own. If it exceeds it, it will show that it is impossible to judge.
The strongest one present is Shia, followed by Joseph who should have reached the level of the Demon King. The worst ones are Allen and representatives of several small families. As Shia said, Allen really can't kill him at the moment, otherwise
Where can I find a Sheriff with such strength and brains?
Shia's analysis of the arrogant royal family made Chen Rui a little curious. I remember Athena once mentioned that there are currently three major royal empires in the demon world, namely the Fallen Angel Empire, which represents "arrogance", the Blood Evil Empire, which represents "greed", and the Blood Evil Empire, which represents "greed".
The Shadow Empire of "Desire". During the heyday of the demon world, there were seven great empires. After thousands of years of chaos, only these three royal families were left. The other four royal families either surrendered or disappeared. Arrogance, greed, desire... It sounds like it.
Sounds a bit familiar.
It's just that Shia is only twenty-three years old, and her undetermined strength is at least that of a Great Demon King. How does she practice? Does she also have a super system?
Also, as a battle demon, old Gauss's normal upper limit should be mid-level, which is E-level. Now it is shown as D-level. It seems that he is another guy with a mutated bloodline.
Chen Rui was observing when a concerned voice rang out: "Your Excellency, Recorder, I heard that you were ill some time ago. Are you feeling better now?"
This voice did not comfort Chen Rui, because the one who spoke was none other than Joseph the Smiling Tiger. He had just asked this question yesterday, and he asked it again on purpose today, probably for ulterior motives.
"Master Joseph, thank you for your concern." Chen Rui stood up and saluted, "Actually, it's all because of my poor health. I've been ill for quite some time and I haven't recovered yet."
Allen next to him showed undisguised disdain - Weak humans have only been in the demon world for a short time, and they can't help but fall ill. It's best to die of illness!
"You must take care of yourself," Joseph nodded meaningfully, "otherwise how can the eldest princess trust you to hand over more important duties to you in the future. In fact, I have always been very optimistic about you."
Watch out for your sister! Chen Rui muttered secretly: Who doesn't know you? You call me brother, but you touch the knife behind your back.
At this time, Shia spoke: "Okay, stop talking and let's get started."
The quarterly meeting is mainly to summarize the territory situation in this quarter and make rough arrangements for the work in the next quarter.
The previous summary is nothing more than an explanation of some major events, mainly based on the territory log that Chen Rui is responsible for. After Shia finished the summary, when asking everyone for their arrangements for the next quarter, Joseph stood up first and said: "Last time I was in the air
I lost a hundred vine stones to the little princess in the competition. Because it took time to collect them, and because I had some personal matters in the Chiyou territory, I was out for a long time last month. After attending this regular meeting, I still want to
Please ask Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess to take at least two months' leave, and after finishing some matters, I will return to serve in Dark Moon. Please forgive me."
Shia nodded slightly. In fact, everyone knew that asking for leave was just a formality. Her Royal Highness the Princess was displeased that the financial officer should be out for as long as possible, and it would be best not to come back.
"Thank you, Your Highness! Please rest assured that I will arrange all the work at hand before asking for leave." Joseph smiled, talked about some work arrangements, then glanced at Chen Rui, who was taking notes, and said, "I will go back to the dark this time.
After a month, I realized that Her Royal Highness the Princess has a recordkeeper, it is the human Chen Rui who has outstanding performance in the Master Challenge and aerial competition. In fact, I have always thought that Chen Rui is very talented, and the Princess has a good eye for recognizing people.
It’s really extraordinary.”
When Joseph said this, almost everyone's eyes fell on this little recordkeeper. Chen Rui knew that this guy must have no good intentions, and was secretly vigilant. Even a simple-minded guy like Allen would
I understand that Joseph’s praise of Chen Rui must have something to do with it.
Sure enough, Joseph shook his head and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me for being rude. In fact, in my opinion, the clerk is overqualified. Chen Rui is the apprentice of Master Aldas. He is proficient in pharmacy and is bold and careful. I believe that watching
Anyone who has participated in the Master Challenge and Air Competition knows this. I plan to recommend Chen Rui to take on more important tasks. I wonder what the eldest princess thinks?"
Shia originally expected that Joseph would make a fuss about Chen Rui, probably to suppress or exclude him, but she didn't expect that it was actually a recommendation. She frowned and said, "What kind of work do you want to recommend Chen Rui to be responsible for?"
Joseph smiled and said: "The mining problem has been a stubborn problem that has plagued the Dark Moon Territory for many years. As the financial officer in charge, I would like to recommend him as the mining officer to go to Xilang Mountain to show his talents and manage the mining industry. I don't know what His Highness thinks.
How about it?"
Xilang Mountain! Mining Officer! A cold light flashed in Shia's eyes, and she immediately understood Joseph's sinister intentions.
Not only Shia, but everyone present understood the purpose of Joseph's "well-intentioned" recommendation.
The mines in Xilang Mountain were originally Dark Moon's largest source of resources and wealth. However, over the past few hundred years, underground monsters have been rampant and have claimed the lives of many miners. The last mining officer is said to have disappeared in the mines. Until now,
Not even the body can be found. Now thieves are intruding from time to time, so the level of danger is extremely high.
Not to mention a powerless human like Chen Rui, even if a high-level demon went there, he would probably never return. Joseph made it clear that he wanted to put human beings to death.
Sure enough, the human recordkeeper showed a strange expression and was silent for a moment in deep thought.
When Allen heard this proposal, he was the first to jump out in favor, regardless of his recent feud with Joseph's forces. The Mellon family immediately expressed their support for Joseph's opinion, and those families who had backed Joseph agreed, and many people
The look he looked at Chen Rui had a hint of schadenfreude, as if it was already a corpse.
No one knows the real reason for Chen Rui's weird expression - Xilang Mountain is exactly where he wants to go. Isn't Joseph just like Alice, a copycat version of mind-reading?
At this time, the old Ford of the Seifer family spoke: "The mining industry in Xilang Mountain has always been an important source of income for our Dark Moon. However, there have been frequent disasters in recent years, with thieves outside and monsters inside, making it almost impossible to mine. This human being has nothing
In terms of strength, I think Sir Joseph himself is the best candidate. If he can go there in person, he can definitely solve the hidden dangers and bring the Dark Moon back to life."
"Finance and economy are the foundation of a territory. I am the person in charge of this work. If it is demoted to a mine, what will happen to the finance and who will bear this responsibility?"
There was a hint of threat in Joseph's words, and he sneered: "Old Ford, your son Tim is the last mining officer. I am also sorry for his disappearance, but it does not mean that the eldest princess values the recordkeeper."
This will also happen. Are you questioning the eldest princess’s vision of employing people? Or are you taking revenge on me for not letting Tim go to the mine in the first place? You know, I am doing it out of public interest, for the development of the entire Dark Moon!"
Old Ford was shaking with anger. The Seifer family was one of the oldest families in Dark Moon and had always been incompatible with Joseph, an outsider. Two years ago, Old Ford's eldest son Tim was appointed by Joseph to lead the mine.
The officer, who disappeared in the mine and has no news so far, has been identified as a dead person, so he hated Joseph deeply. Several other small families who supported Shia also expressed their opposition, and the meeting hall became noisy for a while.
stand up.
The cold light in Shia's cold eyes shot straight through, as if it was going to penetrate Joseph's heart. Unfortunately, eyes couldn't kill people, otherwise Joseph's fake smile would have turned into a sieve long ago.
Joseph ignored Shia's anger and just looked at Chen Rui with his habitual smile - once this human dies, the decline of Princess Square will happen sooner or later, and Shia will also lose an important business boost and morale.
It will definitely be greatly affected.
"I would like to go to the mines."
The noisy voices suddenly quieted down and all fell on the standing humans.
