Panlong, starting from becoming Lin Lei's golden finger

"Gentlemen, this is the Dawson Company's VIP membership card. With this card, you can enjoy a 30% discount on any Dawson Company item and stay for free at any Walter Li Hotel."

The next morning, Myron respectfully handed a black card to Hogg.

Myron still remembered the scene last night when Hogg came to him, calmly taking out ten level-eight magical beast cores and saying he wanted to sell them.

A business worth a million gold coins is not considered a big deal for the Dawson Merchant Guild.

After all, the Dawson Chamber of Commerce's annual revenue is in the hundreds of millions.

However, the business of Warcraft Cores is different.

Low-level monster cores are not expensive.

However, a qualitative change will occur when the monster reaches level seven.

In particular, Hogg took out an eighth-level magical beast core.

Generally speaking, monsters are stronger than humans, so most of those who can kill level eight monsters are level nine warriors or mages.

Within the Dawson Merchant Guild, there are quite a few level seven warriors or mages.

However, level eight warriors or mages are extremely rare.

As for level nine warriors, the Dawson Merchant Guild only has a few retainers who have reached level nine strength, and they are all warriors; there is not a single level nine mage.

At the Saint-level, the Dawson Chamber of Commerce maintains friendly relations with many Saint-level entities on the Yulan Continent.

But the Dawson Company's attempt to make the Sanctuary do things is wishful thinking.

It's more like the Dawson Merchant Guild contributes most of its profits to certain sacred sites every year.

Strong individuals are exactly what the Dawson Chamber of Commerce needs.

The father and son in front of them, whether they killed the level eight magical beast with their own strength or had a way to obtain the level eight magical beast's crystal core, were both worth befriending by the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.

Most importantly, Myron heard some rumors last night.

A level nine mage, who was about to break through to the Saint Realm, took on the son of a country nobleman as his apprentice.

"Dawson Trading Company, the number one trading company on the continent?" Hogg raised an eyebrow as he looked at the black card handed to him. "Then thank you very much."

Hogg did not refuse; the increase in his strength also began to change his heart.

Seeing Hogg accept the membership card, Myron breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Are you two going to take the magic test?"

"Good." Hogg nodded, patting Linley on the shoulder. "My son is getting ready to take the magic test."

"What a coincidence." Myron's face instantly lit up with a smile. "My nephew has come all the way from out of town to take the magic test. If you two don't mind, you can come along."

As Myron spoke, a luxurious carriage arrived at the hotel entrance.

A large, fat man, as wide as two people, was the first to get out of the carriage.

Then, a child who was half a head shorter than Lin Lei got out of the car.

"I am Monroe Dawson, and this is my son, Yale Dawson," the fat man greeted Hogg with a smile. "We're also going to take the magic test. If you don't mind, you can come along."

Hogg frowned slightly upon hearing Monroe's words and glanced at Linley.

"No problem." Linley nodded, looking at Yale with curiosity. "My name is Linley, Linley Baruch. Hello."

For some reason, Lin Lei found Yale quite pleasing to the eye after seeing it.

It's a wonderful feeling; the moment you see someone, you know you'll get along with them perfectly.

"Hello." Yale greeted Linley casually. "Actually, I already passed the test, but last night my second uncle told me that a disciple of a level nine mage was coming to take the test, so he asked me to come and see if I could get to know him. Could it be you?"

Not only Linley, but Yale students also felt this way at this moment.

Therefore, Yale betrayed his father and uncle without hesitation.

Monroe and Myron, who were standing nearby, both had dark expressions, and even Hogg looked at the three of them with wariness.

Lin Lei, on the other hand, didn't care about this at all, and instead looked at Yale with great interest.

"If no one else has been accepted as a disciple by a level nine mage recently, then it should be me," Linley said with a smile, casually putting his arm around Yale's shoulder. "It's about time; we should go."

"Come on, come on." Yale quickly pulled Linley toward the carriage. "I haven't had breakfast yet since I got up so early. Let's grab a bite in the carriage first, and I'll treat you to a big meal afterward."

Hogg was momentarily taken aback as he watched Linley and Yale get into the carriage arm in arm.

Since Lin Lei began his soldier training, he has rarely played with his peers.

Lin Lei's original companions in Wushan Town had almost nothing in common with him.

Hogg couldn't understand why Linley was so enthusiastic about this Yale.

"Mr. Hogg," Monroe said with a smile that almost made his features crease, "it seems our sons are quite compatible. How about they get together?"

Although Hogg didn't understand why Linley was acting this way, he still nodded in agreement, "Then I'll trouble you."

Hogg and Monroe politely declined each other's offer to get into the carriage.

Myron watched the carriage drive away before waving to the guards at the hotel entrance.

"Go, find that guy who caused trouble last night." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Myron's eyes. "Ask him if he has any grudge against the Baruch family, and then make him disappear completely."

Linley and Hogg were unaware of Myron's arrangements.

The interior of the carriage was very spacious, two or three times larger than a normal carriage.

Even with Monroe's size, the carriage wasn't crowded.

"Come, come, try this." Yale handed Linley a pastry. "It's made from purple rose petals, a specialty of the Magnolia Empire. I really like it."

Magnolia Empire!

Lin Lei raised an eyebrow slightly.

The Yulan Empire is not only far from the Fenlai Kingdom, but also separated by the Monster Mountain Range.

Dawson Chamber of Commerce truly deserves its reputation as the number one chamber of commerce in mainland China.

Although it was the first time Linley and Yale had met, there was no awkwardness between them. However, Yale did most of the talking while Linley listened.

"Mr. Hogg," Monroe said with a smile, looking at Hogg across from him, "I'll be frank. The Dawson Merchant Guild would like to invite Mr. Hogg to serve as an honorific, offering 30 million gold coins a year. Mr. Hogg won't need to pay any price. What do you say?"

Upon hearing the word "thirty million gold coins," Hogg's heart skipped a beat.

Yesterday, ten monster cores were sold. Myron offered a very high price: 1.3 million gold coins.

The Dawson Chamber of Commerce not only doesn't make money, it might even have to pay out some gold coins.

However, the difference between 1.3 million gold coins and 30 million gold coins is still too large.

Most importantly, it costs 30 million a year, and there are no responsibilities involved.

However, Hogg regained consciousness in just a moment.

Thirty million gold coins is a lot, but it's too cheap for a Saint-level being.

After all, as long as a Dragonblood Warrior lives, he will eventually become a Saint-level powerhouse.

Hogg didn't consider himself particularly talented.

However, he was also confident that he could become a Saint-level powerhouse within fifty years.

Why would someone bind themselves to the Dawson Chamber of Commerce for a mere billion gold coins?

Hogg didn't want to do this deal.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Monroe," Hogg shook his head in refusal. "I'm just a country nobleman, and this price is too high. However, if the Dawson Merchant Guild ever needs any help in the future, they can let Linley know."

Hogg's meaning was clear: if Linley agreed to help the Dawson Company, then he naturally had no objections.

But if Linley doesn't want to help, then Hogg naturally won't interfere.

As Linley's strength grew, Hogg's attitude towards him gradually changed.

"No problem." Monroe still had a smile on his face, not angry at Hogg's refusal. "We're here, let's go down!"
