Feng Aotian is the protagonist? Take it!

Hearing Zhang Liang's question, Kang Luona, who knew the rich man's industry well, answered decisively: "Three days."

When these words came out, Ying took a breath of cold air.

too fast.

From this point alone, it can be seen that the Dihao Association's deployment, leadership and action capabilities are very strong.

It has to be said that they do have the strength of top businessmen.

"In your opinion, what actions will they take next?" Zhang Liang asked Kang Luona.

Kang Luona pushed her red-framed glasses, lowered her eyes slightly, and fell into deep thought.

From her understanding of Dihao Club, plus their current mental state...

If nothing unexpected happens, they will take the most direct form of revenge.

Moreover, this form of revenge does not cause any loss to them, and they may even make some money.

After getting the answer, Kang Luona raised her head and said her answer with a serious face.

"In the first step, Dihao will use three times the price to intercept Mingyue City's supply chain, snatch away suppliers, and leave us with nothing to eat."

"Why three times?" Zhang Liang asked.

Kang Luona picked up the watermelon juice she had bought earlier and explained, "The price of this watermelon juice has doubled under the manipulation of the Dihao Association. After my analysis of the market in the capital, as long as Mingyue City is eliminated and a comprehensive monopoly is implemented, tripling the price is a guaranteed operation."

After saying that, Kang Luona opened the space ring and took out a thick stack of documents.

"This is my research report." Kang Luona handed the document to Zhang Liang.

Before this, Kang Luona's goal was to start her own business. In order to avoid losses, she conducted very rigorous research and analysis of the market.

"No need to look at it, I believe you." Zhang Liang reached out and put the report on the coffee table, complaining in his heart:

"It's such a thick book, why bother reading it? I can't understand it anyway."

Zhang Liang's eyes never fell on the research report for a second. His tone was full of trust, which made Kang Luona feel extremely relieved.

You know, this is a moment that concerns the survival of Mingyue City.

There is no need to say much about Zhang Liang's talent. Being able to gain his trust is of great significance to Kang Luona.

Not only did he receive such a high salary, but he was also trusted by Zhang Liang...

Kang Luona has never felt such satisfaction and sense of accomplishment.

She secretly clenched her fists and made up her mind to work hard and live up to Zhang Liang's trust and expectations of her!

"In the second step, the people of the Dihao Club will buy all the goods from the vendors in Mingyue City and clear out their inventory. In the end, the huge Mingyue City will have nothing to sell and become an empty city."

After hearing Kang Luona's words, Zhang Liang could clearly feel that Ying had tightened her grip on his hand.

She is worried.

"Are these the only two tricks they have?"

Just these two tricks?

That's it?

Seeing Zhang Liang's reaction, Kang Luona was a little confused and surprised.

"In fact, these two tricks are enough..." Kang Luona's voice became much softer, and she continued: "As long as they monopolize the market, they can still sell the goods purchased at a higher price, and some of them can even make a profit. They have no risk..."

Kang Luona's words were like announcing the death of Mingyue City.

They hadn’t thought about it carefully before, but once they figured out the current situation, not only Kang Luona and Wang Kun, but even Ying felt desperate.

There is no chance of winning at all.

"Zhang Liang..." Ying's voice was filled with worry, "What should we do..."

Hearing Ying's words, Zhang Liang snorted coldly, raised the corner of his mouth, and said something beyond everyone's expectations, which directly shocked everyone present.

"I'm going to bankrupt them!"

## Chapter 3: A Complicated Chess Game (1 in )

Xiaoxiang Teahouse, third floor, Tianzi private room.

This is a teahouse located inside the city gate, from here you can clearly see the people and merchants entering and leaving the capital.

The pinewood window opened outwards, and on each side of the mahogany table inside the window, there was a person sitting.

Sitting on the left is a beautiful girl with blue hair, the president of the Student Union of Holy Spirit College - Murong Xue.

Sitting on the right is an elderly man with a white beard, the current imperial preceptor of the Tenidi Empire - Li Tao.

There are two Go games placed on the left and right sides of the center of the mahogany table.

Murong Xue holds the black pieces and Li Tao holds the white pieces.

The black and white chess pieces face each other, as if a fierce and exciting battle is going on.

"Kata."

Li Tao chuckled and stroked his beard, then slowly placed a white piece onto the left side of the chessboard.

As soon as this piece landed, the situation on the left side instantly became tense, and the black piece suddenly fell into a passive situation, which seemed irreversible.

"Prime Minister Murong, do you wish to die of old age?" Li Tao asked with a slight smile.

Although the situation was disadvantageous to her, Murong Xue's expression remained calm. She fanned herself with the fan in her hand, looking dignified and elegant.

The Prime Minister Murong that Li Tao mentioned is the Prime Minister of the Tianmu Empire------Murong Kongming.

He is Murong Xue's grandfather and also her master.

Most people might think his question is rude, but Murong Xue smiled faintly and replied:

"The last person who asked that question had a grandson who had already died of old age."

"Haha." Li Tao took a sip of the tea and continued, "As expected of the holder of the Undead Companion Device, you have the confidence."

Murong Xue's ancestors were the descendants of the immortal phoenix, and they were the only descendants that had not been eliminated by Lord Phoenix.

The Phoenix Jade Pendant he inherited has an ability that surpasses all other dependent instruments - immunity to death.

That's why Murong Xue didn't mind Li Tao's questions at all.

at this time.

Murong Xue didn't rush to make a move, but used her soft and slender jade fingers to play with the black piece and asked, "Master Li, did you gain anything from your trip to the Maze Town this time?"

Mentioning the Maze Town, Master Li couldn't help but raise his lips and said with satisfaction: "That scene is really unbelievable..."

After a long sigh, he continued, "The moment I stepped into the Maze Town, I was shocked by the spirit of the people. The smiles on their faces were the brightest I have ever seen in my life."

Master Li looked out the window at the sky, his eyes revealing a dream come true. "The current Maze Town is the most prosperous moment since the founding of the Trinidi Empire."

"but···"

At this point, Li Guoshi sighed, "Perhaps, Your Majesty will be sad for a while."

"Has Lord Polley Cabela left?"

"Yes." Master Li showed a regretful expression, "What a pity, what a pity, it was just a little bit short..."

The emperor, Sayyid Allahat, had a wish.

That is to fulfill the wish of our ancestors and let Lady Polly Cabela see the prosperity of the empire.

A long time ago, the Tenedi Empire was just a small country that was bullied, in stark contrast to its current powerful state.

The people here live in fear every day. Not only do they have to worry about the invasion of monsters, but they also have to worry about the invasion of other countries.

Due to the country's weak power, it has no say in the international community.

The people here have no human rights, they are like animals.

As long as there is a demand, people from other countries will come here to capture people, put collars on them, and turn them into slaves who are bullied.

The emperor, the ancestor of Sayd Aharat, was one of the slaves who were bullied.

Because he took the lead in the resistance, he was beaten beyond recognition by the human traffickers. He was in a very miserable state and was on the verge of death.

Maybe God didn't want to kill him.

After the human traffickers abandoned him, he was rescued by a fugitive saint, Pauley Cabela, who was passing by, and saved his life.

In the days that followed, he heard many stories about the hero Allen from the saint, and his strong spirit inspired him.

When leaving.

He swore to the saint in the name of Akharat that he would change this country and make it a powerful country that no one could bully!

Thousands of years later.

This verbal oath was like an unbreakable rope, forever existing in Akharat's surname and continuing to the generation of Sede.

And the portrait of Paule Cabela has been hanging deep in the ancestral hall inside the palace.

"Perhaps, from the moment your majesty eliminated the slaves, they completed their mission."

Hearing Murong Xue's words, Li Tao sighed with deep emotion: "Yes... He really tried hard..."

Li Tao saw what Sede had contributed to the empire.

He had done so much for the empire, but what awaited him was eternal infamy.

"Why···"

Thinking of this, the elderly Li Tao felt his eyes turn red, and the atmosphere in the private room became a little sad.

Just when Murong Xue wanted to change the subject, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside the window.

"What are you doing! What I said is true!"

The tone sounded like they were arguing. Murong Xue and Li Tao looked out the window at the same time and saw a familiar figure.

This person, wearing an orthodox and domineering knight's uniform, with a golden ponytail tucked behind his head, looks very dashing.

"This girl is Zhang Liang's partner, right?" Li Tao asked.

"Yes." Murong Xue fanned herself, looked at the person arguing with her, and said with some bad intention: "It seems that she is in trouble."

"Opposite her is our Holy Spirit's seventh grader - Maotai."

Hearing Murong Xue's words, Li Tao turned his gaze away and said calmly: "I remember this person. He has submitted his resume to us many times. Although he is from a grassroots background, he has a pure heart and is willing to devote himself to the empire."

Li Tao paused for a moment and continued, "What kind of person is he?"

"Paranoia, blind obedience, and lack of subjective thinking ability."

"Is there any way to improve it?"

Li Tao believes that Maotai’s childlike innocence is extremely rare and his performance is excellent. As long as he can be taught well, he will become an outstanding talent who will serve the country in the future.

"Just give him a beating."

"Ah, this..."

Murong Xue is a genius with extraordinary intelligence after all. Li Tao did not expect that she would come up with such a straightforward method.

······

the other side.

"you!!!"

After hearing what Hengxu said, Maotai pointed at Hengxu and became so anxious that his face turned red.

"It was the emperor who ordered the killing of Duke Longtao. Am I wrong?"

"You! You! You!"

Obviously, Moutai also knew that Heng Yu was right, but he knew that if he let her continue to talk, the emperor's reputation would continue to decline.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't say anything more!" Maotai looked around and found that the crowd was getting bigger and bigger, which made him even more anxious. He yelled at Hengyu: "Don't force me to hit a woman!"

"I told you! Come and hit me if you dare!"

"You! You! You!"

Seeing that Maotai was so angry that his face turned red, the three followers following him shook their heads helplessly.
