After sending Watson and others away, Chen Yan and the others were also preparing to return to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters to report the situation to Ryan.

Walking on the streets of the business district, Judy looked at her surroundings curiously. This was her first time walking openly on the streets.

In the past, she could only follow Grandpa Charlie to pick up garbage in remote alleys, and never dared to approach these vendors.

If you accidentally walk next to a stall, you may be beaten or scolded by someone, or you may be arrested by the guards patrolling the street and never show up again.

Grandpa Charlie once told her not to be caught by the guards, otherwise she would never see grandpa again.

But now Grandpa Charlie himself has been caught, and he doesn’t know if these kind-hearted big brothers in front of him can rescue him.

Thinking of this, Judy quietly leaned closer to Xu Ruofeng. It seemed that only being close to Xu Ruofeng could bring her a sense of security.

Seeing this, Xu Ruofeng touched her little head and asked her in a low voice if there was anything she wanted.

Judy shook her head after hearing this, saying that it was enough for her to have bread to eat.

Her sensible look made Xu Ruofeng feel bad. If he hadn't been anxious to go back and report the situation, he would have taken Judy for a walk in the commercial street.

The multi-grain rice noodle next to him was busy exchanging feelings with Morubeke, poking Morubeke's cheek pouch from time to time.

Even though he was numbed by the electric sparks, the corners of his mouth still rose crazily.

Seeing their performance, Lao Ye shook his head helplessly, and then whispered to Chen Yan:
"What's going on with them? Father's love is overflowing?"

Chen Yan glanced at Xu Ruofeng and the two of them, and said calmly:
"It's normal. Young people nowadays are like this. They don't want to have children, but when they see cute creatures, they want to raise them as children. When you first subdued Heracross, you couldn't wait to hold it to sleep."

"Ahem, you're right." Lao Ye scratched his head awkwardly, then changed the subject:
"What if the two guards realize that your poison is fake? If they tip off the director, won't our operation tonight fail?"

Chen Yan replied calmly: "They were all born in the slums. They managed to break out of the siege and became members of the escort. They spent countless efforts and sweat during this period. How could they risk their lives on whether the poison is real?" .”

"Besides, betraying us won't do them any good. Even if our action fails, the Chamber of Commerce will most likely not do anything to us for the sake of Lord Lane."

"Contrary to us, their end will not be too good. The directors will not easily trust the guards who betrayed them repeatedly. In addition, they are from the slums. Life in the guards will definitely be difficult in the future."

"Even judging from the businessmen's usual thinking and practices, it is possible that in order to maintain their relationship with Lord Lane, they would take the initiative to hand over Mark and the others in exchange for Lord Lane's concessions in cooperation."

"So their betrayal will only lead to losses for both parties. Mark is a smart man and would not have thought of this."

Old Ye nodded clearly: "In other words, even if Mark and the others realize that the poison is fake, they will not betray us, so why are you stuffing them with poison?"

Chen Yan continued to explain: "On the one hand, it is to show off to Watson, and through comparison, let him feel our trust in him."

"On the other hand, it is also an extra layer of insurance. Those two so-called poisons are, to put it bluntly, the carrier of trust between us and Mark. With these two 'poisons', both parties can feel more at ease."

After listening to Chen Yan's explanation, Lao Ye still didn't understand, but he chose to believe in Chen Yan's decision.

Chen Yan also knew that Lao Ye was more cautious, so he gave him another reassurance:

"Taking a step back, even if Mark and the others get confused and tell the director about our actions tonight, it won't matter. We can still successfully complete the task tonight."

"What do you mean by this?" Lao Ye's head was full of questions.

"The meaning is very simple. Do you remember who assigned them to follow us?"

Chen Yan asked rhetorically.

"Director Locke." Lao Ye replied casually.

Chen Yan then asked: "Which chamber of commerce does Director Locke belong to?"

"Of course it's the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce."

Lao Ye frowned slightly, as if he thought of something.

"Then which chamber of commerce does the Blue Sea Colosseum belong to?"

A smile appeared on Chen Yan's lips.

"Hiss~ You mean that because the two chambers of commerce are competing with each other, even if Director Locke learns this information, he will not stop us."

Lao Ye took a deep breath, and then asked worriedly:
"But they both belong to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, so they won't just watch the industry of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry suffer losses, right?"

"No, Director Locke wants the Blue Sea Colosseum to close."

Chen Yan's smile was a bit sarcastic.

"Until there is an external force strong enough to threaten them, the competition between the two chambers of commerce will never stop, and they will find ways to weaken the other party's strength."

"Just like the last time we robbed the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce's supplies, Director Locke was even willing to work as an undercover agent for us and cooperate with our actions. This shows the intensity of their competition."

"There are two large-scale colosseums in Guanhai City. The Blue Sea Colosseum suffered losses, and the one that gained the most was their Yaojin Colosseum. How could Director Locke stop us? Maybe he will help us eradicate it. Hidden danger.”

When Lao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes:
"Are you saying that if Mark and the others report the news truthfully, they might lose their lives?"

"As outrageous as it sounds, it's true."

Chen Yan nodded slightly and continued:
"So instead of worrying about whether our actions tonight will be exposed, you might as well worry about whether their lives can be saved."

"I'm worried about what they are doing. They are just two guards."

Lao Ye waved his hand, looking nonchalant.

Chen Yan smiled and said nothing, but secretly said to himself:
"Don't let me down. I'm very optimistic about you. I hope you really understand the situation."
-

At the same time, under Hart's persistent questioning, Mark also gave a similar answer to Chen Yan:

"In short, do you think what I just said about having no choice is that I was forced to take poison? What I really mean is that we have no way out and can only do what they want."

"I think that knight gentleman also understood what I wanted to express, so he allowed us to leave with confidence."

Hart heard this and said angrily:

"Damn it, we are really unlucky. It was going very smoothly. Unexpectedly, we met Captain Watson. He happily joined other forces and might become a noble. Instead, we were threatened by others and even our lives were in our hands. In other people’s hands!”

Mark shook his head slightly: "Are you unlucky? I think we are quite lucky. Not only did we meet a few kind-hearted nobles and save our lives, but we also learned various information. There may be opportunities to change the slums in the future. .”

"What nonsense are you talking about? Businessmen and nobles don't regard us as human beings, so there is no chance of changing the slums."

Hart said with a confused look on his face.

Mark did not explain too much, but quickened his pace and came to the door of the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce.

At a glance, he saw Boss Barry and Little Walker waiting outside.

The two quickly came to Barry's side, and Hart asked directly:
"Boss Barry, is your mission going well? Why did you come back so quickly?"

Barry sighed and said: "Forget it, it went smoothly at the beginning. Who would have thought that Junsha would encounter Junsha on the way and take our work away. Fortunately, Director Locke did not blame us. How is your situation? It went well. ?"

"Hey, we...we're okay."

Just as Hart was about to open his mouth to complain, Mark hit him with his arm.

He was not stupid and reacted immediately.

This is at the entrance to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce. No matter how quiet they speak, there is still a risk of the news being exposed.

So Hart quickly changed his story and temporarily concealed the truth.

However, Barry also saw Mark's little move, and he immediately realized that Mark and Mark might be in trouble.

So while chatting with Mark, he glanced at Mark.

Mark used his eyes to signal Barry not to worry, and then took Hart to find Director Locke to hand over the task.

Barry looked at their backs worriedly, silently praying that nothing would happen to them.

After many rounds of notifications, the two of them were allowed to enter Director Locke's study.

Director Locke was busy dealing with various matters at this time and said without raising his head:

"No need to salute or anything else. Let's report the situation first."

"As ordered."

Mark told the whereabouts of Chen Yan and others in detail.

Of course, Watson's appearance and Chen's plan were still concealed by him.

In his report, Chen Yan and others first divided into two teams, then wandered around and picked up a little girl in the alleyway, and finally went to the Blue Sea Colosseum to watch the performance.

When Director Locke heard the first half of the news, he had no reaction. Even picking up the little girl did not attract his attention.

In his opinion, it is normal for nobles to have special hobbies.

It wasn't until Mark mentioned that Chen Yan and the others went to watch the performance at the Blue Sea Colosseum that Locke raised his head:

"Blue Sea Colosseum? How could they go there?"

"This subordinate is not sure. Maybe they accidentally heard the name of the Blue Sea Colosseum while shopping and became interested in it."

Mark answered cautiously, fearing that Locke would notice the flaw.

Fortunately, Locke also felt that what he said made sense:
"It is possible. Recently, a new batch of Warcraft has been admitted to the Blue Sea Colosseum, and many residents are discussing this matter."

"If I had known they liked watching animal fighting performances, I would have recommended them to the Yaojin Colosseum. What a pity."

Locke thought that the knights in Firefly Town were a group of die-hards who had no interest in cruel beast fighting performances, so they went to the Blue Sea Colosseum to watch the show.

But it is normal to think about it. They are not very old and are in a period of strong curiosity. It is not surprising that they are attracted by the animal fighting performance.

I just don’t know if they can accept the beast fighting performance. If they can accept it, then Baron Lane, as their lord, may also accept it.

Then I can invite Baron Lane to watch the performance at the Yaojin Colosseum.

In this way, not only can they get closer to each other, but they can also use Baron Ryan's reputation to attract a large number of viewers to the Yaojin Colosseum.

So Locke quickly asked Mark:
"Did you go in with them? How did they react to the animal fighting performance?"

Mark pretended to hesitate at first, then knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth and replied:

"Reporting to my lord, you also know that the guards of the Colosseum have always looked down on us. We were afraid that their identity would be revealed and attract the attention of those nobles, so we did not follow them in, but just waited outside."

"As for their reaction to the Colosseum, we don't know very well. Please forgive me."

After Locke heard Mark's answer, he did not ask Mark why he didn't follow.

As a director of the Chamber of Commerce, he also knows something about the escort team.

Guards like Mark who were born in the slums were destined to be ostracized.

Especially since the Colosseum has to use poor people to perform, it is even more impossible to give them a good look.

Therefore, Mark's decision was not unreasonable. Although he could not find out the reactions of those knights, at least he had grasped their whereabouts, which was not nothing.

From the looks of it, these guards from the slums in front of them are quite clever and can make some use of them.

He knew that the council had the idea of ​​​​building a new guard team, and Director Gavin also proposed to hand over the team to the management of the strongest squad leader.

He knew Gavin's little thoughts all too well. Seeing that Captain Mello was trying to get everything right and had the idea of ​​leaving the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce, they thought of enhancing Connor's strength and reputation and pushing Connor to the position of captain.

Naturally, Locke would not let them go so smoothly, but it was a pity that the captain of their faction was far inferior to Captain Connor in terms of reputation and strength.

As another benchmark for the escort team, the new team naturally cannot fall into their hands.

There is no other way, Locke can only interfere with it, delaying Connor's control of the team for a while.

Since Connor wants to hold the new team in his hands, he will stuff sand into the team.

Originally, Locke was still worried about who to choose. After all, the new team serves as a role model and benchmark for the escort team, and those with weak connections will definitely not be able to fit in.

The other powerful guards have already been divided up by them, and they all have distinct faction labels. It is almost impossible for Connor to agree to these guards joining his team.

But Mark and others are different. They can be elected as guards as poor people, which shows that their strength is not weak.

Moreover, they were squeezed out by other guards and had no chance to join the faction.

Isn't such a candidate exactly what he wants? The only problem is that they don't belong to the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce.

But this problem can be easily solved. He knows that people in slums like to stick together and support each other.

As long as you tell them what the Blue Ocean Colosseum has done, they will naturally reject the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce.

Thinking of this, Locke immediately stood up and helped Mark and Mark up, and then said with a smile on his face:
"You have done a great job, and you are worthy of being the talents I value!"

Looking at Locke's cheerful expression, Mark and Mark were very puzzled.

They were all mentally prepared to accept punishment, but unexpectedly, instead of punishing them, Locke even praised them.

what is happening? Director Locke also took the wrong medicine? (End of chapter)
