The ten stores since then are basically small businesses like this, or even loss-making businesses.

Lance's twelve stores in the black market actually didn't bring him much income at all.

On the contrary, if Lance hadn't been behind them to support them, those shops would have closed down long ago.

After visiting the store, Lance returned home and went straight to his father Hardy's bedroom.

"Master, Master Lance wants to see you."

Hardy's Maid Exchange reports.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

After Lance entered Hardy's bedroom, Hardy hadn't gotten up yet.

"Father, good morning."

Lance says hello to Hardy.

"It must be something very important to come so early?"

Hardy said while lying on the bed with his back to Lance.

"Father, don't you really consider reorganizing the small business in the black market?"

It was not the first time that Lance came to Hardy to respond to this question.

In the black market, apart from some things that cannot be seen on the market, there are also many businesses like Lance's that do not make money at all.

These stores have not obtained any resources in the black market, so it can be said that they are industries abandoned by Hardy.

The reason is simple, they can't make money.

But Lance feels that as long as it can be reorganized, it will be rejuvenated.

However, the numerous remonstrances were rejected by Hardy.

"Why are you still worrying about those things? You should focus on the caravan I manage for you!"

Hardy said sharply.

Most of Lance's income comes from the caravan his father gave him.

The caravan will bring some special products of Hayes to other countries, and then bring back the special products of other countries.

"Father, caravans are important, but those stores..."

"enough!"

Hardy became furious and sat up from the bed.

"With your current thinking, you still want to inherit the position of head of the family!?"

Hardy growled, pointing at Lance's nose.

Lance lowered his head, not daring to say any more.

"Get out! I was in a bad mood early in the morning."

Hardy covered himself with the quilt again and lay back.

Lance had to leave Hardy's bedroom silently.

Standing in front of the bedroom door, Lance clenched his fists.

"Absolutely! Absolutely take down the position of Patriarch! At all costs! The entire black market must be reformed!"

Lance is very eager for the position of Patriarch.

But what he desires is not power or status.

He just wants to do what he wants to do.

"what!!!!"

At this moment, he suddenly heard screams from the west.

"Mother!?"

Startled, Lance ran over immediately.

"Mother!? What happened!?"

When Lance arrived, the other servants had already put down Martha's body.

Mandy sat by the flower bed in the courtyard, looking dazed.

The first thing Lance noticed was Martha's body.

"Mother? What's the matter?"

He vaguely remembered that she was Naxiu's personal maid.

"I...I don't know. As soon as I woke up, she was hanging above my head."

Mandy is still very weak to speak now.

It was Mandy who arranged for Martha to be drugged, but Mandy didn't tell Lance.

She found Martha alone, and wanted to buy Martha with money, but unexpectedly, Martha herself also had a grudge against Hill.

So the two of them hit it off, Mandy provided the tools for the crime, and Martha was in charge of the operation.

Lance is firmly opposed to Mandy doing such things, so she keeps these things from Lance.

"That maid? The one next to Naxiu?"

Lance asked confused.

He could not understand why his maid had died in his mother's room.

"Is he provoking me?"

No matter how Lance thought about it, he could only think of such a possibility.

Mandy narrowed her eyes and noticed the change in Lance's expression.

"Lan...Lance, I'm fine, don't worry about it."

Mandy deliberately used a very weak tone to persuade Lance.

"Mother, you are already like this! You still say it's okay!?"

Lance quickly supported Mandy.

"I have to go find him and ask him!"

Lance clenched his fists and stood up.

"Child... kid, don't be impulsive. He is deliberately irritating us, and we must hold back! We can't fall into his trap!"

Mandy said very artificially.

"Forbearance? How can you bear it!?"

Lance let go of Mandy, "Mother, don't worry, I will take care of it."

After Lance said that, he immediately left the house.

Instead of looking for Naxiu directly, he ran to the night market.

Recently, he has come to the teahouse of the "Ultimate Shadow" branch almost every day to inquire about it.

He has been looking for killers above level 30, but he has never been able to wait for anyone who is free.

But now he couldn't wait any longer.

"I want to apply for the killer at the headquarters!"

The killers who apply for the headquarters must have a minimum level of 40 or above.

Lance has never made up his mind, because hiring an assassin above level 40 would cost nearly a hundred times that of level 30 or above.

"Okay, how many do you want to apply for?"

the staff asked.

"One...no! Two! Two above level [-]!"

Lance clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind.

Money is not a problem, as long as Naxiu can be completely solved, he is willing to spend more money!

Chapter 32 Sometimes, you can’t understand what a person’s brain circuit is like. Two killers at the headquarters above level [-] have already declared for you. The deposit is [-] gold coins. They are expected to come within a month. to here. "

The staff said calmly.

"One...one month!? So long!?"

Lance frowned.

"This is already the fastest. The killers at the headquarters are much more sought-after than ours."

The staff also said helplessly.

Although they are said to be killers, the people in "Ultimate Shadow" actually accept all types of missions, and they are more like mercenaries.

Even if it is escorting a caravan or protecting a dignitary, as long as the price is reasonable, they will accept everything.

After all, these tasks are often very easy, much easier than getting money from killing people.

This directly leads to a shortage of people, whether it is the headquarters of "Jiying" or the branches in various places.

"Just one month, I can afford to wait."

Lance took out a deposit of [-] gold coins from the storage bag and handed it to the staff.

The price of hiring a killer will change according to the specific killer. The ten thousand deposit may not even be 1% of the hiring fee.

To Lance, this amount of money was no longer a small amount of money.

Although his assets include nearly ten million gold coins, most of them are invested in caravans, and his liquid funds are less than one million.

After paying the deposit, Lance left the teahouse angrily.

"Isn't it just a month..."

Lance kept muttering.

He had already made up his mind, and after a month, he would kill Naxiu immediately.

When Lance was making arrangements here, Naxiu was not idle.

He settled Hill and asked Gangli to stay and take care of her.

Hill is relatively close to Gangli. In her eyes, Gangli seems to be no different from a pet dog.

After leaving home, Naxiu directly transformed into Professor Yang and came to the auction house.

"Professor Yang."

"Professor Yang."

The people in the auction house greeted Naxiu respectfully.

Naxiu just nodded and went upstairs to find Tuyang.

"Professor Yang, Vice President..."

As soon as Tuyang yelled out, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Oh, Professor Yang, what kind of wind has brought you here?"

The auction house promised Naxiu to conceal the identity of the vice president.

The employees did a good job, but Tuyang himself didn't remember it.

"I have something to ask you to do for me."

Naxiu didn't talk too much, and went straight to the point.

"This is what I said, if you have any request, just say it, and we will go through fire and water."
