Chapter 50 The former emperor and the ghost prince
Renn is not alone, he also has a group of younger brothers, horses and thugs under his command.
Back then, he ran from Bu Shen City to the Pugni Plain area in the southern part of the Faroran Kingdom. In addition to looking for resources such as red heart grass and moon spirit vines to advance to the fourth level [Demon Hunting Master], he also did several things.
Renn had done a lot of things like murder, arson, and extortion, and he had accumulated a lot of wealth as a result.
With his tongue-in-cheek ability and his ability to fool people, he successfully attracted a group of socially active people to hang out with him.
So, in the city of Diramo on the edge of the Pugni Plain, a company called Thorn Security Company was established...
In the living room of the villa.
Ren leisurely crossed his legs, sat on the leather sofa, and dialed the phone dial with his fingers.
"Hello, who is this?" A clear and sweet female voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
Ren held the toner microphone. After hearing the familiar voice coming from over there, the corners of his mouth raised slightly:
"Guess, maybe you can get a salary increase if you guess it."
"Boss, are you so idle?" After a moment of silence, the female voice on the other end of the phone was a little annoyed.
"Hey, Susanna, you, a female secretary, dare to talk to your boss like this?" Ren crossed her legs and threatened, "You should be lucky, I am very busy, otherwise I would have to put you in eighteen different positions!
"
If you have something to do, you can be a secretary. If you have nothing to do, you can be a secretary. Can you find out?
Susanna, [Knight] profession, is from Orange Town in Pugni Plain. She is a dart cowgirl. She usually guards caravans entering and exiting the plains and works part-time as a bounty hunter.
She was deceived by Ren... well, she was invited by Ren to join the Thorn Security Company, and she is now his personal secretary.
"Haha, boss, can you tell me what you are busy with? Are you saving the world or maintaining peace on the mainland?"
"You went to Melova City to be happy. We are doing all the work in the company. It has been more than a month and you haven't even taken the initiative to make a call. It turns out that you even know that you are the boss!" Susanna on the other end of the phone.
The tone was very dissatisfied.
There is no one else who can be a hand-off shopkeeper to this extent.
'Is this fierce cowgirl going through menopause?'
Ren speculated maliciously and curled his lips: "I will deal with you severely when you go back... report to work quickly!"
The person on the other side was silent for a while, seeming to organize his words.
"According to the recently issued united front document issued by the Kingdom and the policy requirements of Bureau 7, Jenny has adjusted the company's strategic layout after communicating with people in the city hall..."
"...The company's security department has been fully staffed and is responsible for the security of Sunshine Community and some private commissions...The combat department, in the name of a third-party mercenary, participated in the demon hunting operation organized by the 7th Bureau on the Pugni Plain...
…”
"Stop!"
Ren interrupted Susanna and touched her chin with one hand:
"I don't want to know what you did specifically. I just want to ask, is the company profitable? How many gold coins did it earn last month?"
I'm sorry, I only have shining gold coins in my eyes.
Suzanne: “…”
"Boss, do you only remember that there are still people under you when you are short of money?" Susanna said quietly.
She finally understood that Ren was probably short of money now, so she called him for the first time.
You have discovered all this... Renn coughed, his face did not turn red, his heart did not beat, and he said in a very calm tone:
"Ahem, I have to attend the auction, and I'm a little tight lately."
Two days later, there will be an annual year-end auction in Merova City.
This auction is jointly organized by the Witcher Association and Bureau 7. At this juncture when war is likely to break out in the kingdom next year, it is impossible to get too many good things.
Many extraordinary beings in the kingdom are preparing for war.
Many extraordinary people from other countries stayed in Merova City after the declaration of war and the King's Festival in the 7th game, just to participate in this annual auction.
Renn was naturally looking forward to this, as he and Artoria needed to buy some important things.
"Boss, I will give you up to 5,000 gold coins. Currently, the Security Department relies on collecting rents from the indigenous Kangao people in the tent area, and the profit is relatively stable. But the personnel of the Operation Department can be well trained..."
The business of Thorn Security Company mainly consists of two parts.
Part of this is done by renting tents to some of the relocated indigenous Kangao people, collecting rent, or performing some simple private security work. This is the responsibility of the company's security department.
The other part is the mercenary business, which is made by hunting demons and alien beasts, or wiping out underground evil forces, and is handled by the company's operations department.
"Okay, 5,000 gold coins are enough for the time being." Ren felt that it was almost enough and he was in a good mood. "Thank you for your hard work. Keep up the good work. I will give you a salary increase next year."
It's not in vain that he spent a lot of effort to create Thorny Security Company.
He doesn't expect this company to be very good, and he will be satisfied if it can help him handle some personal matters and make some money.
"Hmph! Ren, I realized that I was deceived by you! You said that I could make money while lying down and become a rich woman easily... but the result is that I stay up late and work overtime every day to deal with all those messy things for you!"
On the other end of the phone, Susanna complained a few words, feeling as if she had accidentally boarded a pirate ship and been deceived.
Ren, the master of deception and pyramid scheme leader, leaned lazily on the sofa.
Listening to his female secretary's complaints, he grinned and said:
"Suzanne, sitting in the office as a female secretary, wearing beautiful makeup, is no better than you being a dart who is exposed to the sun and risking being shot and knifed as a bounty hunter?
Want to make money while lying down?
Okay, from now on you can just lie on my bed, you don’t have to do anything else, just serve me and make yourself comfortable."
Suzanne: “…”
"Humph, you have a beautiful idea. My sister would rather stay single than take advantage of you!"
The cowgirl on the plains spat lightly. She had a crush on Ren, but that didn't mean she would let him take advantage of her.
Unless Ren is willing to take responsibility, which is basically impossible, Susanna knows that he already has an official girlfriend and is still in strict control of his wife.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After the two chatted for a few more times, Ren's face became serious:
"Let Sigur and Garcia come to Merova City in January next year. It's about the Yunxia Mountains of Ron Principality... Especially Higg, let him be prepared!
The plan has been advanced and we will follow the originally negotiated terms."
Time was so tight that he had to divide his forces into two groups.
"Boss, do you really plan to train that guy Sigg? Help him advance to the fourth level?" Susanna's voice was a little hesitant.
Monkey G. Sigg was once the boss of the Ax Gang (currently disbanded), one of the gangs on the Pugni Plain. Sigg was a third-level peak [Blood Berserker] who came from a distant place.
North Sea Islands.
Sigg once led the Ax Gang to attack the caravan where Ren and Susanna were.
However, he was chopped down with a knife by Renn, who was only at the third level of strength at that time. Later, Renn blackmailed him, and he was almost poor enough to perform on the street... Renn then tricked him into killing the leader of the Skeleton Gang──Ghost Hand Marcello.
.
After plotting to assassinate Marcello, Sigg joined the Thorn Security Company and became Renne's top thug.
After Ren became a master, he cherished his feathers... Basically, the dirty work, the work that had no style, no taste, and no moral integrity was left to Sigurd and Garcia.
"That's it. Although Sigg is a bit reckless, he can still fight."
Thinking of the prosperous years in the past when he relied on deceit, kidnapping and extortion to make a fortune, Master Ren showed a nostalgic smile.
When he took the steam train to the Pugny Plain, he did not expect so many accidents to happen later.
Fate is wonderful beyond words.
Now, Renne, who founded the Thorn Security Company, has successfully rooted his forces on the edge of the Pugni Plain, and has taken the lead in some wars!
"Okay, as long as you're happy." Seeing that the boss had made up his mind, Susanna muttered on the other end of the phone.
The main business is basically finished.
Ren was about to hang up the phone when he suddenly thought of something and asked: "Where is that senior? Is there any news recently?"
"You mean Carlos the Gunman, he is on top of our company building right now." Susanna said helplessly.
Ren was confused: "What? Why is he there?"
"I don't know, he has been standing on the roof of the building for several days, and there is a huge whirlpool in the sky."
"What? What happened?"
"I don't know, the evil force on the roof is too strong, we can't even get close... As for the vortex in the sky, it is even more terrifying. If it comes down, it may destroy the entire city in an instant!" Susanna's voice trembled.
If the people in the 7th Bureau hadn't said not to worry and ignore it... this might have caused panic among the citizens.
………
On the edge of Pugeni Plain, Diramo City, Thorn Security Company office building.
This is a three-story office building located in the eastern suburbs of the city.
In front of the elegantly decorated building, there is a lifelike golden sand sculpture of a strange animal with wings spread high.
At this time, on the spacious and tidy rooftop, a middle-aged man wearing classic black knight leather armor stood in the center of the rooftop. He had a mustache and his eyes were closed.
A dark light enveloped the entire rooftop, and a two-meter-long dark golden spear with a simple shape was suspended in the air.
It's like a real evil spirit lingering on the dark golden spear.
Wishes of bloody energy washed over the gun body like running water, and countless corpses were piled up around it. Tall demons, vampires with bat wings, ghouls, werewolves... The scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood surrounded the gun.
Spear.
The sun was setting in the west, and the dark ink color smeared the entire sky.
Brilliant stars shine in the night sky, the huge moon rises slowly, and there seems to be lightning flashing across. Carlos, the "gun ghost" standing in the center of the rooftop, suddenly opens his eyes.
Buzzing~
The dark gold spear in front of Carlos trembled.
The blazing flame burned at the tip of the spear, and the phantoms of the demon corpses around it also ignited strange gray fireworks, eventually turning into wisps of black smoke and blending into the dark gold spear.
The evil spirit disappeared, and the spear became simple and dark.
The scene of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood gradually faded, and the pattern of the fire dragon disappeared in a flash.
Boom~
Carlos instantly grasped the spear in front of him, and with a roar, a huge dark red circle of light quickly shrank to his feet and disappeared, and the distorted space around him gradually calmed down.
It was only then that there was a crisp sound of footsteps on the rooftop stairs.
"Mr. Carlos, are you okay?" Susanna walked over from the stairs on a pair of red high heels.
The cowgirl has long and shiny black hair, her wheat-colored skin is shiny and shiny, she has a fit and slim figure, and a good-looking appearance.
She was wearing a delicate white women's suit and light makeup. She looked smart and capable, and her beautiful legs in black stockings under the hip-covering skirt were particularly eye-catching.
"It's okay, I'm sorry to bother you during this time." Carlos nodded to her and stared up at the whirlpool in the sky.
It was a shocking scene.
Above the night sky, the tide of the Force oscillated, and the long sea of clouds gathered together, like a giant umbrella that covered the sky and the sun, covering most of the city.
The sea of clouds is constantly swirling like a whirlpool of water, and rippling like water waves. As it contracts and shrinks, countless stars and moonlight fall from the sky like horses, and countless shining light spots continue to oscillate in the sea of clouds, as if
Corresponding to the stars in the sky!
The endless starry light rain merged with the clouds and spread over ten miles.
It's a bit like the prototype of Ren's domain - "Sea of Stars and Stars", but the range is dozens of times larger, and the power is even more terrifying!
"Senior, what on earth is this?" Susanna couldn't help but ask with shock in her beautiful eyes.
She is only a second-level [Iron Ring Knight] and is not strong enough to find any clues. However, Carlos the Gun Demon is already a generation of Gun Saint, so he should know something.
The swirling clouds turned into a sea of light in the brilliant starlight and moonlight.
This swirling sea of light is like a huge beast entrenched in the sky. It opens its huge mouth and wildly swallows the spiritual energy in the void. The energy fluctuates like ocean waves, rising and falling.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Terrifying pressure spreads across the sky.
Under such power, Susanna felt that she was no different from an ant unable to struggle in the face of a tsunami.
She has no doubt that once this thing drops from the sky and explodes, it will be enough to destroy the city of Diramo!
"That was...the former great emperor."
Carlos's voice contained infinite nostalgia and some sadness, as if he was lamenting the vicissitudes of time.
He looked up at the sky, his deep eyes penetrating through the layers of clouds.
A blurry figure stood in the whirlpool of light, and the divine light shrouded the man's majestic body. The vibrating acupoints were like stars, shining among his limbs and bones, just like a vast starry sky!
"The former emperor?" Susanna looked surprised.
Full of doubts, she was about to ask when, on the rooftop, Carlos's body suddenly blurred, disappearing into the night sky like a wisp of dark red light that gradually dimmed.
………
South of Pugni Plain, Pineapple Town.
This once peaceful town has turned into a devil's cave.
Wisps of black smoke and bloody flames lingered in the town, and the demons swaggered through the streets and alleys. The crazy, evil, dark, and bloody auras about them were mixed together, making people shudder.
Thousands of meters in the air.
A large dark cloud filled with the corrosive atmosphere of death constantly condenses, spreads, rises and falls... just like a black iceberg floating in the vast night.
Black clouds were pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it. In the corrosive clouds, one could vaguely see a ferocious skull that was hundreds of feet long!
Weird flames like giant lamps danced in the eye sockets of the snow-white skull, and his terrifying eyes stared at the swirling sea of clouds above the city of Diramo in the distance.
The turbulent spiral sea of light and the thick cloud of death silently confront each other hundreds of miles apart!
Under the clouds, in the middle of pineapple town.
Whenever a demon would occasionally look up at the sky, a look of awe and yearning would subconsciously appear on his face.
The devils, ghouls, and vampires were fine, and the demons and ghosts often prayed to the sky with extremely fanatical expressions.
That is none other than Christian, the ghost prince who just revived not long ago!
On the eaves somewhere, stood a man wearing a black cloak.
His face was thin, his pupils glowed with a strange blue light, and the shadow of blue bones under his flesh and blood body could even be vaguely seen. The black cloak on his body danced in the wind, and there were actually twisted and bleeding pale faces on it!
If Ren and Michelle were here, they would definitely recognize that this is the demon prince they killed in the Demon Realm.
It may be that the clone was killed. The powerful aura on his body was a little choppy at this time, and it was obvious that the injury was not serious.
"Two tiny insects, when His Majesty the Prince is ready... I will crush your bones to ashes, extract your souls and refine them for a hundred days, and make you wail until you collapse!"
The Demonic Grand Duke Harosh looked up at the sky.
He let out a harsh roar, and on the black cloak he was wearing, the pale faces shed tears of blood...
…………
It's late at night in Merova City.
Ah sneeze...ah sneeze!
Ren was sitting on the sofa, happily counting his bills, when he suddenly sneezed a few times.
There was a bit of confusion on his face, and he subconsciously muttered: "Which bastard is cursing me when he's full?"
After counting the various precious resources in the storage ring, as well as the number of gold coins and silver notes, he smiled with satisfaction.
"Who was the former great emperor?" Thinking of the information Susanna called to reveal later, Renn touched his chin.
Charles IV? The great emperor in the history books?
But isn't he already dead... It is said that he was killed by the two giants who were the former head of the Knights Templar of the Church of Light and the mysterious presiding judge of the Inquisition.
The current master of the Knights Templar is Gonzalez.
He is the immediate boss of "Holy White Sword" Michelle. Strictly speaking, Gonzalez has only succeeded him recently. He is also relatively young among the saints and his strength has not yet reached its peak.
'It is unimaginable that anyone could survive under the combined influence of Gonzalez's teacher and the presiding judge of the Inquisition.'
Ren was a little surprised.
A king does not necessarily have to be strong. After all, he has to deal with government affairs, not to mention anything else. The current king of Faloran is only at the beginning of the fourth level, and he can't beat him.
But this is none of his business for now.
After taking stock of his net worth, Renn went to bed.
The next day, he went to the bank in the city, took out the gold coins sent by Susanna, and made a shopping list.
In the evening, Renn went to have a tryst with Keisha on time, enjoying the taste of Valkyrie... Finally, the much-anticipated annual auction came.
The next morning.
Ren put on his suit in front of the half-length mirror, put on a half-high silk top hat, sprayed some men's perfume, put on hairspray... holding a cane inlaid with silver and went out the door.
"Middle section of Yaoyang Street, Fanxing Building!"
Lane, who was dressed like a beast, got on a trackless public carriage and gave instructions to the driver.
