Chapter 45 Belllit 37

"There is a lot of rain this year, and the output of cattails is less than one-tenth of that in previous years. It's a pity that we can't make any money from it."

The bear-headed man crossed his arms over his chest and blew out two hot breaths from his nostrils, which were as big as two soybeans. Fortunately, he still remembered Scott standing in the corner and held back his harsh words.

"Except for being used to make clothes in the early years, cattails have been eliminated for who knows how long. What's the point of hyping this thing?"

Although no one responded to the bear-headed man, the eyes of the people around him all revealed this meaning. Bearded Oliver, Scott, and the golden hat hiding behind the mask did not say anything. They all wanted to see what tricks Chu Cheng's so-called commercial scam could play with this straw-like thing.

Chu Cheng pulled out his right hand and touched the table with his fingertips. Instantly, a cattail made of ice bloomed on the table. Chu Cheng bent his fingers and scraped the leaves of the ice cattail. He raised his eyebrows, looked at the ice cattail, and chuckled.

"You don't even know how to hype yourself up. I really don't know how you got to your current position."

"Cattail contains cadaverine, which can prevent and reduce the toxins emitted by lizardmen and two-headed snakes. Isn't this a good selling point? Some time ago, the Ferrog volcano erupted, and a large amount of volcanic ash covered the sky, which seriously affected their survival and induced the spread of unconscious toxins. All countries are now controlling the entry and exit of Ferrog personnel and equipping front-line personnel with related medicines. Ferrog and Bellit are not much different, so why can't they be sold out?"

Hearing this, the female devil couldn't sit still even in front of Scott. She pulled her hair mockingly, and looked Chu Cheng up and down, as if to say, 'How did you accept these two generals with your brain?' Perhaps her gaze was too direct, the old man with white beard couldn't help coughing, signaling the female devil not to be too obvious.

The female devil did not retreat after receiving the hint, but rolled her eyes at the old man with white beard, then lay back on the chair, admiring her slender hands.

After calming the female devil, the old man with white beard slowly stroked his long beard, quietly waiting for the scene to cool down again, and glanced at the bearded Oliver and Scott with his spare eyes, weighing every word, for fear of offending the two big Buddhas.

"The content of cadaverine in cattail is extremely low. To achieve the effect of influencing the toxin, several tons of cattail are needed, which is extremely inefficient. Moreover, Ferrog has a large number of night elves to maintain and purify it. The toxin is impossible to spread to the city of Bellit. How are you going to sell it?"

Chu Cheng met the cloudy but shrewd eyes of the white-bearded old man, and he clicked his tongue as if impatient. He dragged his chin with one hand and flicked the ice cattail in front of him lightly with the other hand, and it broke into pieces.

"I said it's a sale, so why bother with the truth? You just need to spread what I said as much as you can, and the effect will naturally come." After speaking

, Chu Cheng propped up the table and was about to leave, but the rest of the people didn't want to let him go. But due to Scott's presence, they dared not rudely intercept Chu Cheng. Chu Cheng just stood there, looking down at the people at the round table against the light, with a faint, seductive smile. Both sides were weirdly deadlocked.

Chu Cheng raised his left hand and waved it. Flakes of ice blew across the faces of everyone at the round table, accompanied by beautiful ice crystals. This should have been a dreamlike fairy tale scene, but in almost the blink of an eye, the entire venue was covered with frost and a thick layer of ice formed. And the ice crystals that looked harmless were like the sharpest knife, cutting a wound on the face that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Soon, the tiny wound gradually overflowed with some red, condensed into beads of blood, and then trembled and was pierced by the vibration in the air, sliding down the cheek.

The pressure of the A-level mutant is absolutely incomparable to that of the lower-level people. Even the bearded Oliver felt his legs go weak and almost fell to the ground, not to mention the other people in the venue. Their faces turned pale in an instant. But the next second, they couldn't even maintain their pale faces. Because Scott stood behind Chu Cheng, smiled and added a sentence, which stabbed everyone's heart hard.

"Don't bleed in front of the devil, everyone, I will watch over you for the leader."

Scott's eyes, which were originally smiling, became more smiling, and the words he uttered were so piercing. This sentence sounded like a warning bell in everyone's heart. Scott made his inclination clear, which was no different from a falling out. His threat was so direct that even the female devils found it unbelievable. The

arrogant Red Light Devil was threatening them, the old hands in the gray area, for a short-lived boy. Who would dare to believe it? The people at the round table had different thoughts in their minds, but they never showed them on their faces.

"Every. One."

After Scott's light but heavy threat ended, no one was willing to talk again. The man in the golden hat who had been watching on the side didn't say a word the whole time, but at the last moment he stepped out of the shadows, lifted the hem of Chu Cheng's robe under the light, turned his head to look around the room, and then followed Chu Cheng into the portal. After

Chu Cheng left, the originally quiet atmosphere in the venue was swept away. Whether it was the bear-headed man who originally looked anxious, the cautious old man with a white beard, the arrogant female demon, or others, their faces were calm at this moment, and their eyes were full of storms and gloom, and they all cast their eyes on the person at the back of the round table. After

a while, the silver-masked man who was sitting at the back of the round table, with his eyes focused, spoke first. His low voice was like a cello, but it was inexplicably hoarse and harsh, and even a little distorted.

"Just do as he says."

"Yes."

Everyone around the round table lowered their heads, respectfully. It couldn't be said that it was exactly the same as how they treated Chu Cheng when he first arrived, but at least it had nothing to do with it. This group of old hands in the gray area, the top leaders, were now like puppets, obediently listening to the orders of the man in the silver mask. It was very strange.

On the other side of the portal, Chu Cheng brought a group of people to the auction house. Compared to the crowded casino, the auction house with the Golden Hat in charge is Chu Cheng's safest base at present. Speaking of which, the relationship between him and the Golden Hat is really twisted enough. They are probably the people who trust each other the most among those who want to kill each other the most.

Chu Cheng entered the auction house with a leisurely smile on his face. His long silver hair swayed behind him as he moved, like a long tail swaying around his waist, making his waist look slender and his collarbone look deep. Chu Cheng

casually sat on the chair that Golden Hat had pulled out for him, waved his hand, and asked everyone to sit down.

"According to the plan, you arrange people to sing a different tune, and increase the scope of involvement and the intensity of discussion." "

Nightingale, arrange people in the casino to spread the news. Red Thorn, remember to send people to buy up all the merchants who buy cattails on the market at low prices, and publicize the monopoly. Everything should be done according to the plan."

"Yes,"

Chu Cheng waved his hand, and the five-man group withdrew, leaving only Bearded Oliver and Scott in the venue. Bearded Oliver sat on a chair with most of his body hanging in the air, his eyes constantly glancing around the auction house, trying hard to find the figure he was concerned about.

Chu Cheng naturally knew what Bearded Man was thinking about. He did not make things too difficult for Bearded Man Oliver and asked the Golden Hat to take Bearded Man to find Perna. Before leaving, the Golden Hat leaned close to Chu Cheng's ear. His drooping hair made Chu Cheng feel a little itchy. Chu Cheng dodged without leaving a trace.

"Boss, remember to come over and let me enjoy some delicious food later."

Chu Cheng did not turn his head, because if he turned his face to the side, he would be touching the Golden Hat's lips. But faster than his puzzled look came the system's explanation.

[Yes, yes, you must feed him blood regularly, otherwise the toxin will spread rapidly and he will die]

[? What toxin did you choose for me? 】

【How convenient this is. Most other toxins kill people in one blow or cause slow death. Only this toxin can be relieved regularly】

【......】

Chu Cheng was completely speechless. He shouldn't have let the system, this idiot, arrange everything. Although what he said was indeed the best solution, it was too strange to feed the Golden Hat regularly!

Chu Cheng didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only put his index finger against the Golden Hat's face and pushed him a few centimeters away.

"I know, you take him away."

The Golden Hat, who got the answer he wanted, smiled and stood up. With the bearded Oliver who obviously couldn't suppress his inner anxiety, he left.

Now only Chu Cheng and Scott were left on the scene. Scott still maintained his elegant demeanor and looked at Chu Cheng tenderly. Even though there were only two people, he still called Chu Cheng the leader.

"Chief, the deal between you and Oliver has nothing to do with me, and I have no right to know about it, but since I can give this promise, I will naturally abide by it. From now on, I belong to your organization. However..."

Scott's eyes flickered with scarlet, and he seemed to rub the badge on his chest intentionally or unintentionally.

"What the chief said is not necessarily what he meant."

Chu Cheng hooked his finger. Although Scott was not aware of it, he still stood up and stood in front of Chu Cheng. Chu Cheng sat down, raised his hand and put it on Scott's arm. The next second, Scott's eyes widened, and for the first time he showed an expression other than a gentle smile, and his astonishment was beyond words.

"This...what is this!?"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Cheng withdrew his hand, and Scott's expression of being immersed in it suddenly disappeared, and he suddenly returned to reality. He stared blankly at his palm, his lips moving up and down, but he couldn't utter a word. The next second, he lifted up his clothes, knelt on one knee, lifted up Chu Cheng's palm and kissed it softly.

"Chief, as long as you can let me return to the devil, I am willing to do my best for you."

Chu Cheng gently twitched the hand held by Scott, turned his palm and lifted Scott's chin, looking Scott up and down as if he was looking at a commodity. Scott was not angry, and still maintained his demeanor.

Chu Cheng lightly tapped Scott's forehead with his fingers, and then a shocking scene appeared. There were faint bulging veins on Scott's smooth forehead, as if there were fine threads twitching under the skin. The next moment, Scott's forehead was torn apart, and several lines of blood crossed his eyes and eyelashes and fell deep into the collar.

A demon horn suddenly grew out of nowhere on Scott's forehead. The dark horn was coiled with circles of shining gold characters, which looked mysterious and dangerous. Facing such pain, Scott raised his hand blankly, stroked the wet touch on his forehead, and his pupils trembled slightly. The

demon horn is a symbol of a demon's identity. Although there are powerful demons who can hide their horns, most demons will not do so, as it is a symbol of betrayal of their own race.

Scott almost died that year, and it was Oliver the Bearded Man who helped him transform into a phoenix gene, so that he was able to be reborn and save his life, but this also caused him to lose his demon blood, his magic, and his horn.

Although the fact that Scott is still alive under such heavy siege is enough to prove his reputation and strength, and most people think that he wants to hide his identity as a demon, there are still many people who think that Scott has lost his identity as a demon and his strength is not as good as before. That is why Scott hides and no longer appears in front.

But now, Chu Cheng can rekindle the power of the demon in his body with just the touch of his fingertips, and even let him have horns again. If he joined the team just because of the promise before, then he is now sincerely willing to join Chu Cheng's organization.

Scott has never been a person who sticks to the rules, nor a person who cares about common sense, otherwise he would not have become the first demon who made a fortune by using the demon's supernatural power to make unequal transactions and passed down through the ages. These are enough to prove that he is willing to try, willing to challenge, and willing to constantly pursue new directions. Otherwise, he would not condescend to be a subordinate of a short-lived species because of a promise. This will make people laugh.

After Nirvana, he was forced to accept the fact that he could no longer be a demon, but his reluctance made him still maintain the image and identity of a demon to the outside world. But now, Chu Cheng has made him see the hope of returning to the demon. He has the possibility of rebuilding his business empire, and he has also seen the possibility of life evolution.

Chu Cheng will definitely turn the entire gray area, the entire Bellit, and even the entire Wanjie Continent upside down. Scott is sure.

Chu Cheng can roughly guess Scott's thoughts. This old demon who cannot be speculated by common sense is more like a pure adventurer. He keeps exploring the possibilities of his life and doesn't care about anything, just for the interest.

"Well, welcome to join the City of Hope, dear Scott"
