Joseph walked slowly on the road, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of haze, and he had been like this since he came out of Princess Square.
When passing through an uninhabited alley, Joseph stopped suddenly and said firmly, "That human must die."
When Royce heard this, he asked in surprise: "My lord, human beings are nothing but incompetent people. Why..."
Joseph said with solemn eyes: "I saw a lot of things in the princess room just now, not only commodities, but also some potential mysteries. These things, even if you look at the entire devil world, are great innovations. In other words, it is very likely From outside the demon world, the human from the ground world is the biggest doubt..."
"Also, I bid with Alan just now, 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 Alan at the same time. I know Alan very well. As long as you give him enough face, reconciliation is not difficult." Joseph's face became more and more gloomy: "Unexpectedly, that human being could see through my intentions and quietly gave the little princess a hint, so Only the little princess would do that, and this will make the relationship between the Caron family and us even worse, and if it is not resolved as soon as possible, it may be used by Kanita again."
"Is that human being really so powerful? How can he influence the little princess's decision?" Royce looked stunned, and he had a new understanding of the "master" in his heart, and he could be affirmed by a character like Joseph. Truly a remarkable talent.
"If my guess is correct, the person behind Princess Square is Chen Rui. The prosperity of Princess Square is due to this human being. That's why Alice obeyed him. She understood all the intentions with just one look. .”
Speaking of this, Joseph's eyes were inexplicably murderous: "Since this human appeared in Darkmoon City, a series of changes have taken place, whether it's the Master Challenge, the Aerial Competition and the Princess Square, not to mention his amazing talent , even if he is useless and just brought good luck to the eldest princess, I will try to get rid of him!"
If Chen Rui heard this now, he didn't know how he would feel. In fact, he didn't fully see through Joseph's intentions, he just hit the right one. However, Joseph's wisdom is not comparable to that of Allen, and he has already concluded that Princess Square It was he who planned behind the scenes, and also linked the Masters Challenge with air sports, and even had the so-called "luck theory" factor.
"My lord, leave this matter to me." Royce changed his mind and immediately asked for a job.
Although Joseph is very intelligent, he never imagined that this capable subordinate has become the servant of that human being. This invitation to fight is nothing more than a thief shouting to catch the thief, trying to secretly communicate with the "enemy".
"Royce, I know you're worried about the magic shop and want to make up for it. I've already said that you are not responsible for this incident, and the cause is that bastard Allen." Joseph glanced at him. Royce's expressionless Vasasa smiled slightly, "As for Chen Rui, I have already planned. 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 leisurely. The excitement between me and Allen, since this is the case, let her be troubled for a while."
"Understood." Royce bowed slightly, with a faint light in his lowered eyes.
The next morning, the quarterly meeting began.
There were quite a few people present at the regular meeting. Chen Rui only knew Joseph and Alan. The others, such as Ford, the patriarch of the Cypher family, Carl, the patriarch of the Mellon family, and representatives of other small and medium-sized families, were only seen in the information. been.
Chen Rui quietly opened the eyes of analysis, taking everyone's strength into his eyes one by one.
Female Boss Shea - Race: Arrogant Royal Family. Strength Rating: Unable to judge.
Steward Old Gauss - Race: Demonic Demon. Strength rating: D.
Joseph the Smiling Tiger - Race: Great Demon. Strength Rating: C.
Trash Talker Allen - Race: Big Devil. Strength Rating: E.
Ford, the Elder of the Cypher 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 Eye of Analysis, Joseph's strength evaluation is no longer "unable to judge", but it is displayed as C-level; and Shea's strength is still unable to be judged. Chen Rui is quite proficient in using the Eye of Analysis. He knows that this skill can analyze the strength of a level higher than his own, and if it exceeds it, it will show that he cannot judge.
Shea is the most powerful present, followed by Joseph who should reach the level of the devil, and Alan and the representatives of several small families are the worst. As Shea said, Alan is really unkillable at the moment, otherwise Where can I find a sheriff with such strength and brains
The analysis of Xi Ya's arrogant royal family made Chen Rui a little curious. I remember that Athena once mentioned that there are currently three major royal family empires in the Demon Realm, namely the Fallen Angel Empire representing "arrogance", the Blood Fiend Empire representing "greed", and The Shadow Empire of "Desire". In the heyday of the Demon Realm, there were seven great empires. After tens of millions of years, only these three royal families remained, and the other four royal families either joined in or disappeared. Arrogance, greed, desire... It seems to sound familiar.
It's just that Xi Ya is only twenty-three years old, and her undetermined strength is at least the Great Demon King. How did she practice? Is there also a super system
Also, Old Gauss, as a demon, should have a normal upper limit of middle rank, that is, E rank. Now it is displayed as D rank, and it seems that he is another guy with a mutated bloodline.
Chen Rui was observing, when a concerned voice sounded: "Your Excellency, the Registrar, I heard that you were ill a while ago, are you feeling better now?"
This voice did not comfort Chen Rui, because it was Joseph the Smiling Tiger who made the voice. He asked this question yesterday, and today he deliberately asked it again, probably because of ulterior motives.
"Master Joseph, thank you for your concern." Chen Rui got up and bowed, "Actually, it's all because of my poor health. I have been ill for a long time, and I haven't recovered yet."
Alan next to him showed an undisguised look of contempt—weak human beings, who have only been in the devil world for a long time, can't stand the disease, and it is best to die of illness!
"Be sure to take care of your health," Joseph nodded meaningfully, "otherwise, how can the eldest princess trust you to entrust more important duties to you in the future. In fact, I have always been very optimistic about you."
Look after your sister! Chen Rui muttered secretly: Who doesn't know you? Calling brother, touching the knife behind his back.
At this time, Xi Ya spoke: "Okay, let's stop gossip, let's start."
The quarterly regular meeting is mainly to summarize the situation of the territory in this quarter and make a rough arrangement for the work of the next quarter.
The previous summary is nothing more than an account of some major events, mainly based on the territory log that Chen Rui is in charge of. After Xia finished summarizing, Joseph stood up first and said, "I lost 100 vine stones to the little princess in the air competition last time, because it took time to get them together. The last person had some private affairs in Chiyou Territory, so he went out for a long time last month. After attending this regular meeting, I also want to ask Her Royal Highness for at least two months' leave. Please forgive me for returning to Dark Moon to serve.”
Xi Ya nodded slightly. In fact, everyone knew that asking for leave was just a formality. Her Royal Highness wished that the financial officer would go out as long as possible, and it would be best not to come back.
"Thank you, Your Highness! Don't worry, I will arrange all the work at hand before asking for leave." Joseph smiled, said some work arrangements, then glanced at Chen Rui who was recording, and said: "I will return to the secret office this time. Only then did I know that there is an additional reporter beside the princess, and it is the human Chen Rui who has performed outstandingly in the master challenge and air competition. In fact, I always think that Chen Rui is very talented, and the princess has a good eye for people It really is extraordinary."
When Joseph said this, almost everyone's eyes fell on this little scribe. Chen Rui knew that this guy must have no good intentions, so he was secretly vigilant, even for a simple-minded guy like Allen. I understand that Joseph praised Chen Rui like this, there must be something to follow.
Sure enough, Joseph shook his head and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me for being rude. In fact, in my opinion, the reporter is overqualified. Chen Rui is an apprentice of Master Ardas. He is proficient in pharmacy and is bold and careful. I believe watching Those who have participated in the Masters Challenge and Air Competition have a deep understanding. I plan to recommend Chen Rui to be in charge of more important work, I wonder what the eldest princess thinks?"
Xi Ya originally expected that Joseph would make a fuss about Chen Rui, probably to suppress or exclude him, but he didn't expect it to be a recommendation. He frowned and said, "What kind of work do you want to recommend Chen Rui to be in charge of?"
Joseph smiled and said: "The mining issue has been a chronic disease that has plagued the Dark Moon Territory for many years. As the financial officer in charge, I would like to recommend him as a mining officer to go to Xilang Mountain to showcase his talents and manage the mining industry. I don't know what His Highness thinks. How about it?"
Xilang Mountain! Mines officer! A cold light flickered in Xi Ya's eyes, and she immediately understood Joseph's sinister intentions.
Not only Shea, but everyone present understood the purpose of Joseph's "kindness" 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 previous mine officer is said to have disappeared in the mine. Not even a dead body could be found. Now there are thieves invading from time to time, and the degree of danger is extremely high.
Not to mention a powerless human being like Chen Rui, even if a high-level demon goes there, it is very likely that he will never return. Joseph made it clear that he wanted to put human beings to death.
Sure enough, the human scribe showed a strange expression, and was silent for a while.
When Allen heard this proposal, he was the first to jump out and agree, regardless of the recent hostility with Joseph's forces. The Mellon family immediately expressed their support for Joseph's opinion, and those families who fell in favor of Joseph agreed one after another. Many people looked at Chen Rui with gloating eyes, as if it was already a corpse.
No one knew the real reason for Chen Rui's weird expression—Xilang Mountain was exactly where he wanted to go. Joseph, like Alice, knew the fake mind-reading skills, right
At this time, the old Ford of the Saifo family said: "The mining industry of Xilang Mountain has always been an important source of income for our dark moon, but in recent years, there have been frequent disasters, there are thieves outside, and monsters inside, and it is almost impossible to mine. This human has nothing to do. Strength, I think Master Joseph himself is the best candidate, if he can go there in person, he will definitely be able to solve hidden dangers and bring 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 downgraded to a mine, what will happen to the financial situation and who will take this responsibility?"
There was a hint of threat in Joseph's words, and he sneered and said, "Old Ford, your son Tim is the former mining officer. I also feel sorry for his disappearance, but it does not mean that the clerk who is valued by the eldest princess It will be the same, are you questioning the eldest princess's human eyesight? Or are you taking revenge on me for not letting Tim go to the mine? You know, I am out of a public heart, for the development of the entire Dark Moon!"
Old Ford was trembling with anger. The Cypher family was one of the oldest families in Dark Moon, and they had always been incompatible with Joseph, an outsider. Two years ago, Old Ford's eldest son, Tim, was appointed by Joseph as a mining officer, but he disappeared in the mine and has not been heard from since. He has been identified as a dead person, so he hates Joseph deeply. Several other small families who supported Xi Ya also expressed their opposition, and the meeting room became noisy for a while.
Shia's cold eyes gleamed directly, as if trying to pierce Joseph's heart, but it's a pity that his gaze couldn't kill, otherwise Joseph's face with a fake smile would have become a sieve.
Joseph ignored Xi Ya's anger, and just looked at Chen Rui with a habitual smile—once this human being died, the decline of Princess Square would be a matter of time, and Xi Ya would also lose an important business supporter, and the morale must be greatly affected.
"I would like to go to the mines."
The noisy voices suddenly quieted down, and they all fell on the standing humans.
