"Lair... Gold rchant?!" The Black rchant with glasses looked at Lair as if he had seen a ghost, his face full of doubt, "You're not joking with , are you?"
"What do you think?" Lair said, "The letter is right in front of you. Can't you tell if it's real or fake, Torre?"
As one of the division managers at headquarters, Torre naturally knew the contents of the letter from a certain branch head were real, but he still wasn't quite willing to believe that this smug guy in front of him had already beco a Gold rchant.
Oh... saying he was already a Gold rchant isn't quite accurate. More precisely, he would only beco a Gold rchant after completing this transaction; he just had the privileges of a Gold rchant now.
But what does it matter? This guy indeed had the opportunity to beco a Gold rchant. You have to understand, in the established interest distribution of each jurisdiction, such an opportunity is hard to co by. So after reading the letter several tis, Torre sourly said, "Heh, turns out the North Bishop of Rhein died, no wonder you managed to... Damn it, what kind of dumb luck is this?"
Halfway through talking, he couldn't help cursing, because Torre had been at headquarters for so many years and never got such an opportunity.
Lair bead with excitent and said, "It's not just luck, but strength as well."
"Haha, don't get too smug," Torre said, "you haven't succeeded yet. If you bet on the wrong horse and the person you support couldn't smoothly take over as the North Bishop, you'd know it was a mistake. Do you think the new Bishop will let you off? Even if you run to the ends of the earth..."
"What's the point of all this nonsense," Lair impatiently tapped the table, "sign it quickly! Give the stuff! A small-ti division manager like you is chattering away with ."
Torre glared at Lair angrily, but he had no way to respond. Once Lair beca a Gold rchant, his status would be worlds apart.
So even if he was unhappy, he could only suppress his anger and obediently go to the back to get the items.
Torre's reaction naturally made Lair feel overjoyed, and he couldn't help but hum softly.
"Oh, it seems you have a grudge with this guy?" Bai Wei's voice sounded in his mind.
Lair instantly showed a look of being terrified and nervous, "Ah, Lord Visas, you've awakened."
"I was never asleep," Bai Wei said calmly, "Let's hear it then."
"Uh, it's not really an interesting story..."
"I'll be the judge of whether it's interesting," Bai Wei said, "Are you teaching how to do things?"
"Of course not!" Lair was nearly scared out of his wits, shaking his head repeatedly, "How could I dare to teach you how to do things? You are my light! My sun! My..."
"Cut the nonsense."
"...Oh." Lair scratched his head.
As ntioned earlier, Bai Wei had a persona with Lair.
His persona was of soone who had awakened from a millennium-long slumber that was so extensive it led to boredom, making him interested in the current world and quite curious about a lowly figure like Lair.
Of course, this persona wasn't new; Bai Wei first used it on Ulu.
The biggest advantage of this persona was the justified way of learning about unknown facts from the host's mouth.
For instance, now it's Bai Wei's first ti at the Black rchant's headquarters; if he directly asked Lair what this place was, it might seem lowbrow. But if he feigned interest in Lair's experiences and let him describe the place from his perspective, everything would be different. It wouldn't make Lair think "Why does Lord Visas know nothing?" but rather that "Lord Visas cares about ," making him more reverent and loyal.
Just like now.
"I do have a grudge with that guy. When I first ca here, he not only mocked my origins but also embezzled my quota, causing a significant financial loss." Lair lowered his voice while watching Torre enter the small room, "Later, when I went to confront him to get my goods back, I failed and even got beaten up."
Currently, they were in a place similar to a pharmacy window.
The Black rchants procured there goods that only the headquarters could produce, such as various contraband, fake Corpse Blocks of Visas, and also the "Contract Seeds" that only Gold rchants could possess.
This ans that during Lair's ti as a Copper rchant, even at headquarters, he could be ripped off by the people there, truly living up to the na of Black rchant.
But Bai Wei naturally wouldn't call for justice for Lair and instead said with subtle mockery, "Did you really go to argue with him?"
"Uh, I brought a stick, but didn't succeed," Lair awkwardly said.
At this ti, Torre returned, placing two bright, golden Contract Seeds on the table.
"These are it," Torre said irritably, "Take them and go."
The mont he heard Torre's tone, Lair's anger surged within him.
This damn guy, it was one thing to bully him so harshly before, but now he could totally disregard it. The problem was, now that Lord Visas knew he was bullied before, as a self-proclaid Chief believer of Lord Visas, what would happen if Lord Visas thought he was an incapable waste?
Moreover, if you dared to treat this way before Lord Visas ca, that's one thing, but you dare do so after Lord Visas is here?
