My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

"..." Hearing Orson's question, Dorothy was silent for a while, and then said: "Orson, you should know that I am not a human being."

"Yeah." Orson nodded.

"After all, your appearance has not changed in ten years, and you have traveled in the Fairy Forest. Miss Dorothy, your race is obviously not human."

"You should know that a long time ago, humans joined forces with other races to repel the invasion from demons. One of the races was the dragon race, and I am a member of the dragon race." After Dorothy finished speaking, there was a hint of nostalgia in her expression.

"According to the records of our dragon clan, Paradis, the leader of the demon army that invaded the continent, did not leave any descendants. As for your other question, what would happen if demons and other races gave birth to children? I cannot tell you the specifics because there is no such precedent."

When Orson heard Dorothy's words, although he was prepared, he still felt a little disappointed.

Chapter 54: Do me another favor

After saying goodbye to Dorothy, Orson was not in a happy mood.

At the end, Dorothy and Orson said:

"Paradis has left many scars on the continent. Some ancient races or civilizations have kept records about demons, but these are all considered taboos without exception. If you want to peek into the mysteries, you must become someone worthy of the trust of that race."

"As the most typical long-lived and gregarious species, elves undoubtedly have the most complete records of demons. If you have elf friends, Orson, you can ask them to take you to the Elf Forest to take a closer look at the books inside. After all, it's been a while, and it's hard for me to remember many details."

To put it bluntly, it is obviously impossible to solve your own problems by relying on hearsay from others.

Then, on the way back, Orson met a few people dressed elegantly.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Orson?"

"Yes, it's me." Orson nodded, then asked, "What can I do for you?"

"Our boss wants to see you." The leader said this and pointed to a carriage behind him.

"He said he wanted to discuss the matter with you regarding Miss Chelinina."

"I understand." After hearing this, Orson got on the carriage.

Arriving at the destination, Orson got off the carriage and was not surprised to see the familiar sign of Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce in front of him.

From the moment the other party mentioned Celinina, he already knew that the person who invited him to meet was Louis.

Led by a waiter, Orson came to Louis' office.

An old man with gray hair and beard was guarding the office door. When he saw Orson coming, he bowed politely to show his respect.

Then he opened the door for Orson.

Walking into the room, Louis appeared in front of Orson.

Compared to the banquet a few months ago, Louis now looks much more haggard, and even half of his hair has turned white.

But when he saw Orson coming in, Louis still forced a smile and greeted Orson with a smile.

"Oh my, Mr. Orson, long time no see, long time no see."

"Well, President Louis, long time no see." Orson nodded and sat on the sofa next to him.

"Excuse me, President Louis, what is the reason you asked me to come here this time?"

"Well, first of all, of course, I want to apologize for my rude behavior at the party a few months ago." Louis

There was a hint of embarrassment in his tone.

After all, he had mocked Orson's family for being unqualified in the past, but now that he needed help, he had to swallow back what he had said.

"Ah, about this." Orson smiled upon hearing this. "It's okay, President Louis, I didn't take it to heart. Rather, thanks to your reminder, President Louis, otherwise, I would have really thought that my family was so powerful."

Orson's words were obviously meant to challenge Louis, but Louis could only endure it.

"Oh, no, no, you nobles are born with noble blood." He said this and quickly poured a cup of tea for Orson himself.

"To be honest, I came to see Master Orson this time because I want to ask you a favor." After putting down the teacup, he spoke slowly.

They all used the word "ask", which shows how sincere their attitude is.

"You tell me."

"I want to hire you with a high salary and let you be a consultant for the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time stop helping the Lison Chamber of Commerce. Is that okay?"

"Sure." Orson nodded after hearing that.

This surprised Louis a little.

He originally thought that Orson would insist for a while until he offered a higher price, but he didn't expect Orson to agree directly.

What a pity, Chelinina, you finally misjudged the person. This Orson is just a greedy person.

Louis sneered inwardly.

He knew that most of what Chelinina had achieved today was due to Orson's advice behind the scenes.

As long as the relationship between Orson and Chelinina is destroyed and Orson is prevented from continuing to help Chelinina, the development of the Lison Chamber of Commerce will naturally stagnate.

Moreover, if Orson could help Chelinina grow so quickly, then he could definitely help the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce grow as well.

"Well, Mr. Orson, please name a price." Louis said with a smile.

Orson held up an index finger.

"One? Master Orson, do you want one million gold coins?"

Orson shook his head.

"Then, could it be 10 million?"

Orson still shook his head.

Louis frowned when he saw Orson's look.

He had thought that Orson would ask for a high price, but wasn't this price a bit too outrageous?

Ten million gold coins. The current liquid funds of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce do not even have this much. And judging from Orson’s reaction, he wants much more than that.

"Mr. Orson, just tell me directly." Louis said this and stopped guessing.

"I want a Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce." Orson said slowly.

"Mr. Orson, are you kidding me?" Louis' tone became serious.

"The Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce hired you as a consultant, but you asked for the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce? How can an employee treat all of the employer's assets as his salary?"

"I know there isn't, so, President Louis, do you agree?"

"Master Orson, do you think I will agree?" Louis asked back, with a hint of anger in his tone. "I came here with sincerity. If you really want a large sum of money, I will give you a lot of money when the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce dominates the entire continent in the future. But your attitude makes it difficult for me to discuss with you."

"But this is my ideal price." Orson shrugged helplessly. "After all, the fact that the Lison Chamber of Commerce was able to develop from the worst performing branch of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce to the point where it caused so much trouble to the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce in just a few months is not just my credit."

"In the current business war, the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce must be having a hard time, right? The Lison Chamber of Commerce has such a big advantage. Why should I give up such a good prospect and switch to the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce?" Orson smiled.

"But, Master Orson, you have to know that even though the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce has suffered such a huge loss, its assets are still more than three times that of the Lison Chamber of Commerce. If you start from a higher point, you will reach the end faster. I believe that Master Orson understands what I mean."

"Of course I understand." Orson nodded. "But, since you, President Louis, are willing to give your inheritance to your two useless sons instead of your only capable daughter, I feel that you are not suitable to sit on the throne of the Empire's No. 1 Merchant."

"So, you just don't want to?" Louis asked finally, suppressing his voice.

"Yeah." Orson said this without any regret on his face.

"If everything is ok, I'll go back first."

Orson said this and stood up from the sofa.

"Wait." Lu

Yi quickly called out to Orson.

"Mr. Orson, I would like to ask you to do me one last favor. It's on my personal behalf, okay?"

(PS: I didn’t update yesterday due to personal reasons. I’m very sorry. I will make up for it tomorrow)

Chapter 6: Some are happy, some are sad (K)

"If you want to see your daughter, I'm sorry I can't help you. After all, you've done a really bad job as a father." Orson paused and then spoke.

"Really? You also think I'm not a good father?" Louis lowered his head in disappointment when he heard that.

"In that case, please forgive me for being rude and not seeing you off."

"No problem." Orson shook his head and walked out of the room.

Louis sat in his seat, thinking about what Orson had just said, and sighed helplessly.

At this time, the deputy Paul also came in. He looked at the lost Louis and asked, "President, is there still no agreement?"

"Yeah." Louis nodded. "It's still too difficult to convince Master Orson to give up helping Cherylina. Most importantly, Master Orson himself doesn't think highly of our Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce."

"Paul, do you think I did something wrong? As a father, did I do something wrong by not giving my three children a fair chance to compete?"

"...President, I don't want to comment on your family affairs. After all, I am just a staff member of the Chamber of Commerce and have no right to judge your family affairs."

"But if you really want me to say it, maybe you should give Miss Chelinina a little more chance when choosing your successor, so as not to push her to the point of being completely opposed to you."

"However, I can understand you, President. After all, you and Miss Chelinina are in different positions and think about problems from different angles. You want to develop the Chamber of Commerce more steadily, while Miss Chelinina does not want to let others arrange her fate, so she rebelled against you."

"I can only say that it's fate." After saying this, Paul stood aside respectfully.

"Alas." Louis also sighed.

The business war with the Lison Chamber of Commerce has been going on for some time.

The Lison Chamber of Commerce, which controls the production end, has completely strangled the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce in terms of certain commodities. The Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, relying on its business relationships, controls most of the commercial resources in the market and raises prices on some key commodities to suppress the Lison Chamber of Commerce. However, overall, the Lison Chamber of Commerce still makes more money.

Other chambers of commerce in the market, such as the Ali Chamber of Commerce, which had previously competed with the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, have become victims of the business war between the two major chambers of commerce.

The Ali Chamber of Commerce neither controls a large number of commodity supply and marketing resources like the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, nor controls the production of many key commodities like the Lison Chamber of Commerce. Its own development still follows the old way of chambers of commerce, and ultimately suffered heavy losses due to the drastic fluctuations in commodity prices.

In the past few months, the Ali Chamber of Commerce was almost on the verge of being acquired by the Lison Chamber of Commerce.

In fact, the Lison Chamber of Commerce is also preparing to acquire the Ali Chamber of Commerce, and the two parties should be able to reach an agreement in the next two days.

In this way, the gap between Lison Chamber of Commerce and Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce will be further narrowed.

Faced with the challenge from the Lison Chamber of Commerce, the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce had no choice but to follow suit and start its own production. However, due to problems such as immature technology, lack of experience, and management loopholes, the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce's products were less competitive than those of the Lison Chamber of Commerce even though they had the same production chain.

This means that if the Lison Chamber of Commerce wants to make more money and raises the prices of its products, the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce can make less money.

And if the Lison Chamber of Commerce lowers the price of its goods, the goods produced by the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce will lose money, which will be even more counterproductive.

But there is no other way. If we don’t do this, the market share will be taken away by the Lison Chamber of Commerce.

Just when the two were still worrying about the business war, Mark suddenly walked in.

"Father, Uncle Paul, you must help me!" he shouted, his face full of panic.

Seeing his reaction, Louis knew that something was probably going to happen.

"What happened?" Louis asked directly.

"In Prussia, the Lison Chamber of Commerce opened a new branch there, and cut off my supply of textiles in Prussia. Now all textiles are monopolized by the Lison Chamber of Commerce."

"Then, my second brother told me that we should pool our assets together, buy all the textiles from the Lison Chamber of Commerce at a high price, and then stockpile them at a high price."

When Mark said this, Louis had already guessed what happened next.

They misjudged the capacity of the Lison Chamber of Commerce and used aliases or

They asked others to buy textiles in large quantities from the Lison Chamber of Commerce, causing a shortage of goods in the Lison Chamber of Commerce in Prussia. However, the local people did not actually buy the goods, so the demand for the goods was still there. In this way, they continued to raise the prices and made a profit by acting as scalpers.

This kind of naive method can sometimes play a certain role, but it is also based on the fact that the other party's production capacity is indeed insufficient.

But in fact, the Lison Chamber of Commerce controls more than 80% of the textile production in the entire empire. How could there be a shortage of production capacity?

Therefore, the final result was that Mark hoarded more and more goods, and eventually all the goods rotted in his hands.

At this time, the Lison Chamber of Commerce anticipated that Mark's stockpiled goods had reached the upper limit, so it directly brought in a large number of goods from other areas and sold them at a low price.

Anyway, when Mark and his team purchased in large quantities at high prices before, the Lison Chamber of Commerce had already made a lot of money. This wave of price cuts can be said to be a real benefit to the people who really need to consume textiles.

Mark no longer had the funds to stock up on goods. On the contrary, the low prices of goods caused the Chamber of Commerce's capital chain to become tight and unable to operate. In the end, it could only sell them at a lower price.

But under the instigation of Lawrence, Mark had always believed that the Lison Chamber of Commerce would always have insufficient production capacity, so in the end he even gritted his teeth and sold many of the Chamber of Commerce's fixed assets in exchange for cash.

After this incident, the assets of the Prussian branch of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce shrank by half in an instant.

The presidents of many local chambers of commerce also expressed their dissatisfaction. If Mark could not resolve their dissatisfaction, they would join the Lison Chamber of Commerce.
