Chapter 314 The Invisible Hand Behind the Scenes
"Isn't that the fool Peggy thought Mad Wolf couldn't win?"
"They were clearly trying to cheat you out of your money..."
Lucy suddenly stopped talking halfway and stared at Chen Xian's eyes in shock.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xian felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him. "Nizi, it's very dangerous for you to look at a handsome male orc like this."
"No way!" Lucy blushed. She almost forgot the thought that had just flashed through her mind when Chen Xian interrupted her train of thought. After rubbing her face, she calmed down and said, "Brother, were you sure that Mad Wolf would win before the game?"
Lucy's question also aroused the interest of Mad Wolf and Tietou.
He bet 20 gold coins in one go and now he has won million gold coins. How else can he explain it except that he had guessed the result long ago.
"Hehe~" Chen Xian took a sip of wine, "I'm not the Beast God, how can I be sure that Mad Wolf can win."
"Don't forget, Shuang Ling has achieved a breakthrough to the semi-saint level. If I knew she was a semi-saint, I would probably let Mad Wolf admit defeat!"
"Really?" Lucy looked skeptical. "So, if Frost Spirit is at the peak of Legendary, you can guarantee that Mad Wolf will win, right?"
Chen Xian patted his forehead. Lucy was sometimes extremely confused, and sometimes extremely smart.
Being asked so directly, Chen Xian didn't want to lie, so he just nodded to admit it.
"Hiss~" The other three people in the cave couldn't help but take a deep breath.
At that time, Mad Wolf was only at the peak of level six, a huge gap from the peak of legend.
Moreover, there is a huge gap between the legendary realm and the realm below legendary realm.
But at that time, Chen Xian was sure that Mad Wolf would win! He even directly bet 200,000 gold coins.
"So when you bet 200,000 gold coins, it's not Peggy who's cheating you, but you're cheating them."
Lucy then said slowly, with an expression that seemed to say, see, you are still good at cheating people.
Faced with Lucy's malicious look, Chen Xian had to change the subject.
"That's not the point. The point is that it was President Nash who agreed to set a 200-fold odds for Mad Wolf."
"Peggy is just a scapegoat!"
"Boss! If that's the case, then I don't understand it even more." Mad Wolf also picked up the wine glass and drank it all. "They gave you gold coins, and now you are trying to earn them back by making a fool of yourself."
"Through this round trip, although they got the gold coins back, they lost far more than 40 million gold coins in material equipment. No matter how you calculate it, this business is a loss!"
Tietou also nodded repeatedly, "That's right, even we stubborn werewolves won't make such a deal."
"That's the problem." Chen Xian tapped the table lightly with his fingers. "The Golden Circle Chamber of Commerce has existed in the orc region for thousands of years. They will not do business at a loss."
The four of them were silent for a while. The cave was so quiet that only the rhythmic knocking sounds could be heard.
"I figured it out!" Lucy shouted excitedly, "They must have known that the wolf tribe had to deal with the trolls and couldn't provide them with equipment and supplies openly, so they used this trick."
Upon hearing this, Mad Wolf and Tietou's eyes lit up.
Lucy became more and more excited as she spoke, "Their Golden Circle Chamber of Commerce and Kemal Chamber of Commerce occupy most of the beastman's business."
"There must be competition in private. As long as the wolf tribe attacks the trolls, the Nakmar Chamber of Commerce will definitely be hurt, and their Golden Circle Chamber of Commerce will have the opportunity to become the number one chamber of commerce in the beast tribe."
"Big sister Lucy is really smart. Now I understand everything." Mad Wolf quickly gave Lucy a thumbs up. "These meat-eaters actually want to borrow our wolf tribe's sharp blade to help them kill the enemy."
"That's right, these Pigs are really too much." Tietou also gritted his teeth.
"This should be only one aspect." Chen Xian played with the wine glass in his hand, and said with concentration, "There should be something else hidden in it."
As he spoke, Chen Xian raised his eyes and looked at the Mad Wolf.
"Mad Wolf, have someone collect some information about the Pig tribe. The more detailed the better."
"Okay." Mad Wolf agreed without any hesitation. "I don't know what information the boss wants to know. I'll have someone focus on collecting it."
Chen Xian put down his wine glass and said, "I want to know how the meat and vegetables you mentioned gradually became the second largest chamber of commerce in the beast tribe within a thousand years."
Chen Xian narrowed his eyes slightly. The behavior of the Golden Circle Chamber of Commerce was too strange.
How could a Pig tribe, which originally had a low status among the beastmen, control such a large chamber of commerce?
And even the monkey tribe is involved. Could it be that Senior Shi Wan and his tribe have returned to the beast tribe’s territory?
Even the guard beside President Nash always gave Chen Xian a familiar feeling.
However, after integrating the tree spirit's soul, his keen perception ability did not reveal anything unusual.
Not being able to notice anything is problematic in itself.
His current mutated soul can be shielded from detection by the saints, except for those who can rely on the power of natural rules.
As for others, no matter they are humans, orcs, monsters, or even plants, the mutated soul can detect them clearly and show the energy veins therein.
But he couldn't detect the guard.
Are all the guards around President Nash saints?
This is even more impossible.
Saint, what level is that? It is definitely the one who stands at the pinnacle of military power in the entire continent.
How could I possibly be a bodyguard for someone else, especially a Pig?
Chen Xian now felt that there was a huge hand of the Five Elements behind him, controlling everything.
He has no information at all now, which means he is blinded.
What is certain now is that the forces behind the scenes are not targeting him.
On the contrary, he felt that the other party had helped him intentionally or unintentionally.
The power behind the scenes wants to deal with the trolls, and he also wants to find the Mystic Key of the Beast God and deal with the trolls.
Our current goal is the same.
This is a good thing.
However, Chen Xian, who was a second-generation man, hated the feeling of being kept in the dark.
The other party just has the same goal as mine now and is not dealing with me.
What if the other party's target is also the Beast God Treasure? You can't be sure that he will shoot an arrow at you from behind at any time.
Chen Xian didn't want his princess wife and elf wife to be inexplicably killed in the orc territory before he even got to see them.
"Brother!" Lucy said hesitantly, "You want to know the reason for the rise of the Golden Circle Chamber of Commerce. My father may know. But..."
Lucy paused for a moment, and finally said, "It's just that he always doesn't want to talk about this..."
"Oh?" Chen Xian was a little surprised. "No wonder your fox clan's scroll has so little information related to the Golden Circle Chamber of Commerce. I thought it was lost."
"Big sister, why does the old fox king want to talk about the matter with the Golden Circle Chamber of Commerce?"
Mad Wolf was intrigued and started asking quickly.
"I don't really know, but whenever I asked him questions related to the Golden Circle Chamber of Commerce when I was a child, my father would remain silent."
"Okay!" Chen Xian stood up, "Let's stop here today."
"Mad Wolf, you should go back and arrange for someone to investigate the details of the Golden Circle Chamber of Commerce."
"As for the old Fox King, I haven't had a drink with him alone for a long time."
As Chen Xian was about to leave, Mad Wolf quickly stood up and asked.
"Boss, since President Nash and his group have a conspiracy, let's cancel this deal!"
