With my gaming experience from my previous life, this was not a problem for me, so I took on the responsibility without hesitation.
Hearing that my aunt and I accepted the suggestion she made at the beginning, my aunt chuckled and said, "In order to help Sister Anrou accumulate management experience, the management of these materials will be handed over to Sister Anrou!"
boom--
She was responded with a righteous slap on the head.
I covered my mouth and laughed secretly, then I calmed down and started to organize the documents in my hands, so as to avoid having to "work overtime" after dinner, which would be simply torture for myself.
Just when he was organizing the last few documents, he accidentally noticed a piece of written paper that looked like a meeting record somewhere on the top of the transparent storage bag.
"Hmm... why does this name sound so familiar..." I took a quick look at the content out of curiosity and found that it was about my father's company, which was planning to control a listed company. When I saw the name of that company, I vaguely thought of something, "This company... wait, is that the real name of that guy Mosha?"
The split among the Black Clan’s management in the previous life caused quite a stir on the forum; someone even revealed Mosha’s real name and dug out the inside story.
It is said that Mosha gradually transferred all the personnel agreements, funds, studios, etc. of the Black Clan to his own hands, and set up a company without Zhuoduo and Yesehenmei. Even if Zhuoduo found out about this later, it was too late. Although he was still the chairman of the Black Clan in name, in fact, the Black Clan was about to be controlled by Mosha.
After failing to reason with Mosha and breaking up with him in anger, he could only leave with a group of people from the Black Crowd with Ye Se Hén Mei to set up a new business.
Although he didn't know much about holding matters, he was also aware that a company could only offer public shares when it went public. The fact that the name of Mosha in the real world was marked here obviously meant that Mosha was already shorting the rights of Zhuoduo and Ye Se Heng Mei.
Fortunately, my father did not express any support in the meeting minutes, apparently because the price was a bit too high. Otherwise, given my current conflict with that Mosha guy, it would be more difficult for my father's company to handle it.
"Did this guy start so early?"
I took out the information again, searched through it, and indeed found a prospectus from the company founded by Mosha. After thinking about it, I took out my mobile phone and took a picture of it.
"Should we show this thing to the Black Clan's president? If we expose it now, it should be able to cause trouble for that Mosha guy." Looking at the photos in the phone, I showed a thoughtful look.
Chapter 45: Burghead
When I went online the next day, Hill seemed to have been waiting in the lounge for a long time.
Without any unnecessary nonsense, Hill and I came to the outskirts of the Mist Forest, close to the Berghead side. I also brought Satasia and some troops given to her.
"Satasia, you stay in the forest. If anything happens on our side, be responsible for picking us up." Facing a city of that size, I dare not be careless at all.
"Got it. Leave it to me, Demon Lord."
Faced with the possibility of a battle, Satasia seemed very excited, although I was only saying if.
Just as I was following Satasia's instructions, Hill, relying on his powerful mental power, keenly perceived the situation in the forest, "Your Highness, the caravan is coming, at 5 o'clock."
After leaving Satasia behind, following Hill's instruction, the two of us came to the front of the road where the caravan passed. Not long after, we heard movement from behind.
However, the noise not only included the passing of the caravan, but also some sounds of fighting.
"Yeah, these monsters are really good at picking the right time."
I was a little surprised when I saw more than thirty level 75 black-striped saber-toothed beasts emerging from the forest not far away.
Originally, he had intended to create some "difficulties" for the other party and create opportunities for contact, but he didn't expect that these monsters in the forest would just help him and save him a lot of trouble.
"These four-legged beasts are really good at picking the right time. It's really troublesome."
The leader of the caravan, the demon Rob, regretted that he didn't bring more manpower with him. Otherwise, it wouldn't take much effort to deal with these saber-toothed beasts. However, if he had brought more manpower with him, this group of saber-toothed beasts with simple intelligence might not have appeared at all.
Just as Rob wanted to get rid of the saber-toothed tiger leader first and make these saber-toothed tigers lose their backbone through decapitation so that he could gain an advantage.
An invisible pressure suddenly descended, pushing his shoulders down in vain.
"This fluctuation of aura." Rob was extremely surprised. He felt as if he was suddenly facing those lords who had swept across his family with terrifying power. He could not even think of resisting.
But this was just a subconscious thought. Rob was not actually panicked at all because he could feel that the owner of this breath had no ill intentions.
And just as he thought, although the companions in the surrounding caravan were restricted by the pressure, they were not attacked like himself. Instead, the group of saber-toothed beasts on the opposite side, including the saber-toothed beast leader, were all knocked to the ground by this power.
A moment later, Rob and his companions felt a sense of relief on their shoulders, and the pressure disappeared without a trace. The surrounding saber-toothed beasts had completely lost their vital signs.
It only took a few seconds for him to defeat these monsters simply by relying on his intimidating power. Just from these few points, one can guess how powerful the person who helped him is.
Just when Rob was about to ask about the surrounding forest, two figures, one big and one small, walked out from the bushes nearby.
"Are you all right? I'm sorry, Hill was a little reckless."
At first sight, Rob's attention was attracted by the cute demon loli in front of him, but he soon felt the subtle deterrence emanating from another cold and aloof female bodyguard behind her. It was obvious that the pressure just now was released by her.
The positions of the two people and the details they showed clearly proved their master-servant relationship.
In just a moment, Rob labeled the loli in front of him in his mind as a noble lady who came out to play from a big family in the Demon Empire.
However, the other party did not seem to be as arrogant as the nobles he had met before. His behavior and tone were very peaceful, and most importantly, he directly helped his group of caravans. If it were other nobles, they would not care about the lives of civilians like him.
Therefore, Rob felt quite fond of the little girl with a bright smile in front of him. "Thank you for your concern. We are not injured. Thanks to you and this lady for helping us. I don't know how we can thank you enough."
"I'm just helping out, don't mind it, big brother." I waved my hand.
Just as he said, it was indeed easy. After all, Hill's strength is there. According to my guess, he should be at least at the level of a level 250 hero or a super lord.
Although the rule given by Alice is to assist me in developing the Demon King's Castle and not to use my true strength to deal with things beyond my ability, but these dozens of saber-toothed beasts can also be dealt with by the monsters summoned by me. Hill's action to save the trouble in the middle is not beyond the rules.
Rob naturally expressed that it was a token of his appreciation and wanted to give us something.
Seeing this, I also took out the words I had prepared, "No need, if big brother really wants to thank you, why not tell us how to get to Berghead?"
As expected, Rob had no doubts and seemed a little surprised. "It just so happens that our caravan is also going back to Berghead. If it is convenient, why don't you and this lady go with us?"
Just proceed according to your plan, and the other party's invitation to accompany you will seem much more natural and will not arouse any suspicion.
"Of course it's convenient. Then Hill, let's just follow this big brother."
After agreeing to Rob's invitation, the caravan set off again towards Berghead. During the time on the road, he also asked Rob questions unnoticed. While obtaining some useful information, he also got closer to him.
With the aura that Hill was sending out to intimidate the surroundings, no monster dared to approach them along the way. In less than an hour, the caravan arrived at its final destination, Berghead, and passed through the gate guarded by many guards, entering this seemingly prosperous city.
"It feels a lot faster than usual." Rob was a little emotional. Although there were mages in his caravan who used wind magic to increase speed, this was the first time that they had traveled more than 40 kilometers in less than an hour.
Little did they know that this was because I asked Hill to secretly set up a more advanced magic circle.
Although he was a little surprised, Rob didn't care too much. He looked at me as I got off the carriage and said, "I wonder if Miss An and Ms. Hill have a set plan for coming to Berghead. If not, I can ask them to go back first, and I will act as a guide to show you some attractions in Berghead."
"Well, Hill and I really don't have any plans, so I'll leave it to Brother Rob." I clapped my hands, acting very happy, looking just like a simple eldest daughter of an aristocratic family.
However, Hill next to her reminded her at the right time, "Miss, don't forget the purpose of our trip."
"Oh, I almost forgot." I stuck out my tongue and asked Rob, who was looking curious, "Brother Rob, do you know where in Berghead we have the most up-to-date information? Hill and I have some things to deal with."
Chapter 46: Nightingale Tavern
"Then you've asked the right person." Rob was immediately proud of what he said. "Although there are a lot of mixed people in Burghead, and many intelligence chiefs have set up various organizations, and even collected information from other areas, the Nightingale Tavern is definitely the one with the most information."
"Hey, it sounds amazing. Can Brother Rob take us there?"
"No problem, come with me."
While leading the way, Rob told us many things about the Nightingale Tavern. Although there was a lot of exaggeration in his stories, it clearly showed that the Nightingale Tavern was indeed good at gathering intelligence.
"Brother Rob seems to know a lot about it?"
"Of course, because the Nightingale Tavern was opened by my sister. I just like running around, and I can also help my sister deliver some things. Ah, we're here. This is it."
Rob stopped in front of a building on the busy street.
I looked up and saw the words Obsidian Hotel clearly written on the iron sign that was rusted a lot. Hill next to it also had a slightly frown on his face.
As if he had seen through our confusion, Rob smiled at us and said, "Just follow me and you'll know. As a qualified gentleman, I will never deceive lovely and beautiful ladies like you."
The lobby on the first floor of the hotel is used as a restaurant, which is not uncommon in the game of Anno. There are also many hotels in the Light Camp that have a similar layout. It is because it is located on the main street in the west city, or perhaps because the hotel has a certain reputation and is widely praised.
The twenty or so brown wooden tables neatly arranged in the lobby were almost all occupied by guests, and from time to time, demons of various appearances would come down or go up the two stone and wooden staircases on the inside.
This is not quite what I expected.
After all, as a gathering of rebellious voices, or rather a secret underground rebel organization, although it may be known by many people in the circle, it is impossible to open it in the open in a high-sounding manner.
But soon my doubt was resolved.
Rob had just walked to the wooden table in the stairwell when a tall red devil at the counter recognized him.
"How was your journey, my dear friend?"
"not bad."
Red Devil and Rob bumped fists, and then called a waiter next to them, "As usual, take Mr. Rob to compartment 07."
The waiter, who was also a Red Devil but much shorter in stature, responded and took Rob and us into the door next to the counter. I then realized that this hotel was much larger than what I saw from the outside.
Soon, the waiter took us to the so-called compartment 07. "Please come in, Mr. Rob and two ladies, the meal will be delivered shortly."
"Let them be quick." Rob threw a shiny gold coin.
After the waiter took it, the facial features on his red face were all squeezed together out of joy, which looked particularly funny. "Okay, I will tell them. I won't bother you anymore. I wish you all a happy meal."
Hill and I walked into the compartment. The interior decoration and environment were no different from those small private rooms in the hotel. Just when we were about to ask each other, Rob had already opened a secret passage leading downwards from the floor of the compartment and waved to us.
It turns out to be hidden under the hotel. That's a really good idea.
My eyes lit up and I immediately followed him into the secret passage. As Hill followed me in, he did not forget to close the raised floor.
The secret passage extends downwards and is wide enough for three people to pass through at the same time. It does not seem narrow. Although the only light source is the magic lamps on the wall a few meters apart, it is enough to illuminate the space.
Hill followed me and walked down. He seemed to have thought of something and asked Rob, who was at the front of the team, "Mr. Rob, will it reveal anything if there are fixed people coming in and out of this compartment frequently?"
I looked at Hill behind me curiously, and it took me a moment to react. If the Nightingale Tavern was as the other party said, then there must be a frequent flow of people. Regular people coming in and out would definitely be noticed, and in this way, the entire tavern would gradually be exposed even if it was hidden underground.
Rob seemed to know what Hill was thinking. "Of course not, because compartments like 14 and 21 can also lead into the Nightingale Tavern. In addition to this inn, there are other entrances and exits. As far as I know, there are seven or eight places that can lead into the Nightingale Tavern."
"And even if they find these secret passages, they definitely don't know how to get in." Rob added with a smile.
We soon found out why he made that comment. We went down the stairs and soon arrived at a flat underground passage.
Just when I thought the end of the passage was one of the entrances to the Nightingale Tavern, Rob used magic to light the torch in his hand, illuminating the left wall of the passage.
"Go further ahead and you will find the underground waterway that connects to the southern part of Berghead. The entrance is right here."
With Rob's reminder, we then noticed that there was a whole wall of secret compartments hidden on the wall, similar to a cipher disk. However, according to Rob, only when the previous secret compartments are entered correctly in order, the subsequent secret compartments can be pressed, to prevent people who accidentally discover the secret passage from walking in and discovering the secrets.
"These secret compartments do not have a fixed password sequence. In fact, there are three layers of mechanisms embedded inside them. They will shift and change every day, so you have to remember the pattern specifically."
As Rob pressed the secret compartment, he continued to explain to us, "And once you touch the wrong secret compartment in the process, even if you can't press it, it will immediately trigger the mechanism and completely lock the entrance door in this passage."
Under Rob's operation, accompanied by a click, the wall quickly dispersed to both sides, revealing the deep internal passage. I thought it was the end, but after reaching the end, I encountered a heavy door again.
The solid iron and stone structure coupled with the high-level magic-forbidden symbols made it extremely difficult to break through it physically or magically. Although it was easily opened after Rob inserted a black card, the insurance I encountered along the way made me admire the means of the owner behind the Nightingale Tavern.
After the door opened, all kinds of chaotic sounds came to the face, forming a sharp contrast with the silence in the passage a moment ago, making people feel as if they were in a new world.
"Welcome to the Nightingale Tavern."
Along with the smiles of the waiters on both sides of the door, a tavern hall of over a thousand square meters appeared in front of Hill and me. On the central stage, several succubus girls dressed in gorgeous clothes were twisting their bodies, looking extremely charming, attracting the attention and loud cheers of a group of spectators below, who threw the gold coins in their hands onto the stage.
Seeing such an exciting scene, I couldn't help but blush. But before I could take a few more glances, Hill next to me had already stood in front of me without leaving a trace, blocking me from such an erotic performance.
"It's too early for you, young lady."
Chapter 47: Intelligence Transaction
Faced with Hill, who was as strict as a qualified guardian, I, who had once been caught reading pornographic books in the library, immediately stuck out my tongue in embarrassment and covered my eyes consciously, although of course I still kept my fingers open.
Rob, who was standing next to us, wanted to introduce us to the inside of the tavern. After noticing the situation here, he realized that there were underage children here. "Ahem, I'm very sorry, Miss An and Ms. Hill, but you know that every tavern has this kind of, uh, means of mobilizing the atmosphere. It's not just ours, all other taverns are almost the same..."
However, it seemed that Rob knew that the more he talked, the worse it would be. When he saw Hill's expression turned cold, he immediately stopped talking and said to the waiter next to him, "Take us to a quiet place."
"Yes, Lord Rob." The waiter naturally recognized Rob's identity and led the way respectfully.
The interior of the tavern was much larger than he had imagined, and seemed to be divided into more than a dozen areas. In addition to the central stage and most of the tables and chairs, there was also a beast fighting area covering an area of hundreds of square meters. Two giant beasts in cages were entangled with each other, and the crowd surrounding them were shouting and cheering for the targets they had suppressed.
It looked more like a huge entertainment venue hidden underground than an ordinary tavern. There were not only slovenly mercenaries, but also vicious gangsters and even well-dressed nobles.
In addition to the differences in classes, one can even see races from different dark camps besides demons, such as undead, demons, dark orcs, etc. People of all classes and colors gather in the tavern, which seems to be a mixed bag and has the style of an underground black market.
Because of Rob's identity, many people who knew him greeted him on the road, and Rob occasionally responded.
These movements attracted the attention of the people nearby. When they saw two figures, one big and one small, behind Rob, their eyes lit up, even though most of them preferred the former, who had a mature and calm temperament, and whistled.
However, there are also some with unique tastes. They fixed their eyes on the smaller figure, which made someone sigh that even in the dark camp, there are still many lolita lovers.
There were also some who were not satisfied with just admiring and were planning to tease or even touch her, but after Hill released his icy pressure, they were all silent and looked at her in astonishment.
Just as Rob requested, the waiter took him to a seat in a corner of the tavern hall, blocked by partitions on both sides. Although it could not block out all the sounds in the tavern, it was a relatively secluded place suitable for talking.
"After being delayed for so long, Miss An and Ms. Hill must be hungry. Just order whatever you want. It's my treat. I recommend the butter cheese, roast pork horn, and black sheep's milk." Rob sat down opposite the seat and handed me the menu left by the waiter.
