Sir, this is not how bad women are used.

"I am Marquis Blue of the Holy Light Kingdom, and also one of the investors of the Adventurer's Guild."

He briefly explained his identity and sat down on the sofa next to President Zhilan. He adjusted himself to a comfortable sitting position. He did not listen to Chu Yan's self-introduction, but waved to Milanqi to come over and pour tea.

President Zhilan sighed softly, with a hint of impatience in her tone:

"Let me correct you a little bit. Marquis Blue, you are not an investor, but a member of the investor family, and the main investor is the Meduso family."

Chu Yan felt dizzy when listening to these things about families.

In a situation where there were many kingdoms and a lack of unification, from time to time there would be a kingdom that had never been heard of, and nobles that came from nowhere, as if everyone had a title.

But Chu Yan had heard a little about this Holy Light Kingdom, and could understand it as the first kingdom to surrender to the church.

In order to show their sincerity, they directly change the name of the kingdom to something related to the church. When they come across kingdom names like Holy Light, Glorious Light, and Gospel, they are usually the ones who lick the church the most.

However, with the support of the church, these kingdoms often have a high status.

Marquis Blue was slightly embarrassed when his words were exposed, but he still insisted on his statement:

"They are all from the first batch of investor families, and their vision is comparable... Let's not talk about this. Milanqi said that President Zhilan is discussing something important. How important is it that even an investor family like me can't get involved?"

In this sentence, one has to mention one's family identity several times. Chu Yan still doesn't know the truth, but it is indeed a bit of a headache.

He paused in his tracks and said, "We're talking about converting the pub into a restaurant. The results are pretty good."

Marquis Blue took a sip of tea, raised his eyebrows, puzzled and disdainful, "This is not an important matter, but speaking of this, there is a tavern owned by my brother-in-law, Prince Jemma, who once said that he wanted to give it to me..."

After Marquis Blue took his seat, President Zhilan did not sit back on the sofa. Instead, she stood directly beside her desk, with her plump and round peaches resting on the edge of the table.

She crossed her arms over her chest, her beautiful eyes cold as she reminded him, "That is the guild's financial supply for the next period of time, used to pay out commissions for exploring the map."

Marquis Blue disagreed and gave advice like a wise elder:

"I have visited those restaurants, and with their booming business, they don't need such a huge amount of money.

443

The funds and income of a restaurant are enough. The difficulties you imagine are only because the commission remuneration is unreasonable. That kind of commission price is simply a waste!

You have to learn to 'throttle back'!"

President Zhilan sneered and shook her head, which made her feel a headache. She hated talking to idiots.

What is "tightening the belt"? It is obvious that they just want to keep more money for themselves to embezzle and enrich themselves, and they don't want to let this money flow into the hands of adventurers.

She asked in return: "With the reduction in rewards, how can there be so many adventurers willing to explore the deep maps in the first place?

At this time, finding the ‘door’ is a matter of great importance to the future.”

Marquis Blue also shook his head and sighed helplessly:

"Why can't I explain it to you clearly? It's true that women lack some skills and insights when running a business.

Now people from various forces have gathered in the Babel area, and they are all here to find the 'door'. Do you need to spend more money on this?

I am from the investor family. President Zhilan, your extravagant behavior has affected the investors' dividends!"

Unconsciously, he omitted the "one of" after the investor family, as if he was the only shareholder of the Adventurer's Guild.

President Zhilan responded fluently, her expression becoming increasingly cold, not even bothering to show her annoyance. She said emotionlessly:

“I won’t comment on your business philosophy, but I am the president of this place now.

At the same time, you seem to have forgotten that the Adventurer's Guild does not exist as a purely business organization. The dividends that the investor families can get come from the sale of monster materials, weapons, and magic potions.

There was no income from the restaurant before, so how could it affect the dividends to investors? "

Chu Yan listened for a while. Although he didn't understand the ins and outs of the conversation between Marquis Blue and President Zhilan, he still understood the general meaning.

——Marquis Blue took a fancy to the profits of the restaurants and wanted to take away some of the profits from one of them, and also wanted to get more money from the dividends of the Adventurer's Guild.

——Marquis Blue was pointing fingers at President Zhilan’s policies, with a somewhat disparaging tone. Did he feel that he was more suitable for this position?

No matter what his purpose is, his plan to explore the deep map is closely related to his fellow taboo users, and it is no longer President Zhilan's personal affair.

If Marquis Blue wants to influence this matter, it would be tantamount to disrupting his grand plan. Chu Yan can let alone interfere, and even stab him in the back if necessary.

After a long silence, Chu Yan spoke up and asked bluntly:

"From what I heard from Marquis Blue, he wants to take away the original tavern?"

The Marquis, who was dressed in a red noble robe, nodded happily, but felt that it was too ostentatious, so he said tactfully:

"It can't be said that it was taken away, but it was just returned to the original owner. It was originally intended to be given to me by my sworn brother, but some twists and turns happened, and it ended up in the name of the guild. I somehow invested in it as an additional property."

You just saw these dirty taverns being "laundered" by the guild, so you wanted to take them back. If they normally fell into the hands of the Sanctuary of Discipline, would you dare to take them?

Chu Yan sneered: "The owners of these taverns are involved with heretical organizations. The Sanctuary of Discipline has been tracking down these backers. As a noble of the Holy Light Kingdom, could it be that Marquis Blue has a private relationship with the heretical organizations?"

Marquis Blue looked serious and tense, saying, "Don't say such things! This is a frame-up!"

“Unfortunately, the reason these taverns were able to be owned by the Adventurer’s Guild is because of the support of the Sanctuary of Discipline for the exploration commission. If Duke Blue wants to take them back, he can try to ask the Sanctuary of Discipline for them himself.

But the Sanctuary of Discipline heard that the tavern was originally intended to be given to Marquis Blue, so they might be willing to investigate your past and prove your innocence~"

Marquis Blue felt that he was provoked, and immediately stood up. He wanted to scold him, but he didn't know his identity or name, so he shouted:

"Who are you to interfere in the affairs of the guild?"

Now that there are more forces in the Tower of Babel area, Chu Yan estimates that his identity will be revealed sooner or later, so there is no need to cover it up deliberately.

It’s a pity that I didn’t ask Commander Deloyah for a title like Honorary Disciplinary Officer before, otherwise it would be appropriate to say it now.

"Since you asked sincerely, I will tell you out of mercy..."

Chu Yan paused, looking like he was being mysterious, but in fact he had forgotten that line.

"Forget it. I am Chu Yan from the Dragonborn Family. I am the first heir of the Meduso Family, Ms. Ye Guang. Her long-distance fleet was saved by me. You can go and confirm it yourself.

Do you want to have a say in investor status now?"

In terms of status in the Adventurer's Guild, the Meduso family definitely comes first.

Marquis Blue was speechless for a moment, and tried to use his noble status and investor's voice to pressure him, but he was no match.

At this point, his face was frustrated, and he could only force himself to say, "Words are not enough. Who knows if you knew that I was too busy with official duties to confirm, and deliberately lied about your relationship with Ms. Ye Guang?"

After saying that, the mushroom-like Marquis Blue left, not wanting to bore himself any more.

He had just closed the door when he suddenly opened it again, leaned half of his body in, and looked around at Chu Yan and Zhi Lan suspiciously, as if he wanted to catch them cheating.

His gaze passed Chu Yan and fell on Zhilan, saying:

"Don't forget the engagement.

444

You can’t avoid it!”

After saying this, he completely left the Adventurer's Guild, got on his own carriage, and returned to the mansion purchased by his family here.

The office fell into silence for a moment, and it was President Zhilan who broke the silence first.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, little lord. This kind of issue involving family relationships and agreements is a bit helpless."

Chu Yan comforted him, "I understand. But if you run into similar troubles again, please tell me. This is not entirely your family affair. I will be angry with anyone who affects the exploration of the deep map~"

A smile reappeared on the face of this mature lady:

"Thank you~ If that's what you mean, then I'll have to come to you to complain and give you some advice, but now you have to prepare to enter the tower. I'll ask the little lord out for a chat some other day!"

Marquis Blue has arrived, but President Zhilan has to take care of some things with her family and is unable to receive him.

Chu Yan understood the meaning and did not linger any longer. He waved goodbye and prepared to leave.

"Wait... As a thank you for helping me out, I think we should have a farewell kiss~!"

President Zhilan walked forward and boldly and proactively kissed the dragon-born young man on the cheek.

It was called the cheek, but it was almost touching the corner of Chu Yan's mouth.

Author's note: This is yesterday's update, so it's the third update

Chapter 3: The Poaching Adventurer Team (k)

After leaving the Adventurer's Guild, Chu Yan returned to the base and began preparing for departure.

The most important thing to prepare is the itinerary. You have to plan where to go first to avoid wandering around aimlessly and wasting time.

With a detailed map, route planning becomes just a matter of drawing a line segment between two points and connecting them.

After Chu Yan announced the news of his departure, his companions did not have much objection. They just followed the instructions and adjusted their schedules to go to bed early and get up early.

Among them, there are still some more excited and active members.

Omega is a girl who has long wanted to practice her skills with the improved weapons in actual combat. After knocking down a puppet once in the underground training ground, she was even more excited about the actual combat.

Chu Yan himself was also a little excited. Although the help he got from the Dragon Witch was limited, he still wanted to show off.

This state of mind is just a three-minute enthusiasm. When you buy new stationery, you want to practice for the exam, but when you really get to the exam room, you find writing tiring.

But there are still members who are not in good condition. Eve really wants to go with them and fulfill her duties as a secretary, but her condition is not very good.

It was probably due to the nightmare space. She did go in there at that time, but she failed to stay conscious, so she did not show up inside. However, she still suffered some mental and spiritual damage.

"Eve, you look a little tired. Why don't you stay and look after the house? We are only going to see the monster ruins. There is no need for you to worry so much."

"But..." Eve was insistent and didn't want to be absent.

"Your mental state needs to rest for a few days, otherwise we will have to divert our attention to take care of you."

This sentence moved the secretary. For her, rather than being unable to help, she was more worried that she would become the one who made things worse.

She knows clearly which is more important, "no effect" or "side effects".

"Okay then, I'll stay and look after the house." A hint of reluctance appeared on Eve's cold face, but she still accepted it.

Chu Yan looked her up and down at her secretary uniform with some malicious eyes, which made the secretary look unnatural. She felt slightly shy in her heart, and her own loss of composure flashed through her mind again.

She thought awkwardly: Could it be that I was discovered at that time? I clearly didn't reveal any flaws...

"Master, what are you looking at!"

"Can you prepare more maid uniforms of various styles during your few days of rest? This way you can be considered doing work, and you won't feel so guilty when you take a break!"

"......Then should I thank the young master for his thoughtful care?" She looked at Chu Yan unhappily.

Chu Yan didn't want to disturb her rest, so he ended the chat and went back to the bedroom to rest.

The next day, the group set out and headed towards the Tower of Babel.

Three people in the team did not come along. Eve was on an agreed-upon "work-related injury" leave. Ashis had been fascinated by studying necromancy these days and did not want to join in fighting the monsters. She thought it was a very boring thing and it would be better for her to take a bag of Chu Yan's magic and play with it for a whole day.

Another person absent was naturally Aunt Nancy. When she saw someone staying to look after the house, she decided to stay without hesitation, saying, "I'm staying to take care of the taboo person in the house."

Needless to say, the care was fake, and the real thing was to slack off and sleep for a few days in the base. Without Chu Yan's occasional harassment, I couldn't even imagine how happy my aunt would be.

Chu Yan had just closed the door when he seemed to hear the sound of his aunt opening champagne to celebrate from inside the house.

Am I so disliked by others that I can't be so happy? When I come back in a few days, I will harass Aunt Nancy so that she won't be able to sleep well...

Chu Yan made up his mind and led the team to set off. As they walked, he asked, "Xianuoya, how is your magic study progressing?"

Shanoya

"About 60%, but it's a bit of a bottleneck now."

This girl has a stubborn personality that is not suitable for comfort. The more her companions say "It's okay

445

", the more she felt that she had failed to live up to other people's expectations, the more she put pressure on herself and the more internal energy she had.

Chu Yan pretended to be sad and said in a green tea tone:

"Don't worry about this. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. At most, I'll be disappointed for a while. It really doesn't matter to me. Hey!"

"......Hey, you're putting me under more pressure by saying that!" The knight girl said with a stern face.

She knew in her heart that Chu Yan only said this on purpose to point out her inner pressure so that she would not be trapped in herself and have wild thoughts.

Omega's comfort was very simple and rough. She patted Xia Nuoya's slender shoulders and said:
