Chapter 718 The Dilemma of the Chamber of Commerce and the Returned Girl
"That's it..."
After receiving Hui Wu's answer, Xing nodded silently.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly concerned about my plan? You are not normally like this."
Glancing at Xing suspiciously, Huiwu asked with some confusion.
"Or will my plan affect someone or something you care about?"
"No...no matter what you want to do, it has nothing to do with me, and I will not interfere with your plans."
Gently pulling off the broad hood of the cloak, Xing shook his head in denial.
"Forget it, it's up to you."
Hui Wu silently retracted his hand behind his back. According to the results of his prediction, everything [Xing] said was indeed true, and she would not interfere with his plan.
Although some were curious about what happened to the star, he was not prepared to get to the bottom of it. After all, everyone has some secrets that belong only to them.
His current goal is to break through the ninth level as soon as possible. As long as it does not hinder him, he will not take the initiative to explore the secrets of the star.

….….
Federation of the Kingdom of Iter, Headquarters of the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce.
"Sir Raphael, it's an emergency! Recently, the major kingdoms suddenly sent people to seal down our branches of the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce! They said they suspected that we had colluded with the resistance organization [Circle of Truth]!"
In the magnificent office of the person in charge, Vice President Garverman, who was sweating profusely, was reporting the situation to Anvis, who was sitting safely behind his desk.
As he spoke, he took out his handkerchief from time to time and wiped the sweat on his forehead and mustache.
He couldn't help but be nervous. No matter how big the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce was, it was still just a chamber of commerce force. Now that many kingdoms were suddenly accused of such a huge crime of colluding with the [Circle of Truth], anyone would be panicked.
"Currently, due to this slander, our business has been forced to stagnate by more than 80%, and our daily net loss exceeds 100,000 gold coins..."
"Don't be nervous, I know about this, go down, I will handle it!"
After patiently listening to Gafferman's report, Anvis nodded and sent the uneasy Gafferman out of the room.
In fact, when the overlapping area gradually expanded and the strength of the contacts suddenly became stronger collectively, Avis knew that sooner or later, the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce would face what it is today.
Originally, those who came into contact were just stronger than ordinary people and were not qualified to attract the attention of federal high-level officials, but now it is different.
The Black Ring Chamber of Commerce, which has attracted a large number of 'contactees', is like a wild beast that has been fed until it is fat and fat, and is ready for slaughter.
Even with the eighth-level prophet ‘Mirror’ as the backstage, due to its weak power, it is still inevitable to face temptations from the top.
At the same time, as an eighth-level prophet, Anvis also noticed the traces of Gray Fog and other high-level prophets behind this incident.
In other words, the essence of this incident was a distant confrontation between him and other prophets.
As for the reason of colluding with the resistance organization [Circle of Truth], it is actually an unfounded accusation, and even the major kingdoms themselves may not take it seriously.
After all, if this reason is thrown at the head of any force, it can't prove its own innocence. If you say you colluded, you just colluded.
Although he actually colluded, Anvis could be sure that the parliament would not have any substantive evidence for this, it was just looking for a reason to test.
Otherwise, many kingdoms would not only seize them, but directly annihilate the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce branches.
Although the current situation is equally critical, Anvis has already been prepared.
In the following period, Anvis, as Raphael, the head of the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce, visited the senior officials in charge of this matter in each major kingdom with gifts to understand their demands.
From their mouths, Anvis also found out the situation of each kingdom branch.
Some kingdoms just want to get enough benefits from it, while others want to recruit the 'contactees' found by the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce.
Avis has his own response to this.
If he wants to reap benefits, Avis doesn't mind giving money to resume normal operations. Gold coins are just a number to him anyway.
For those who want to recruit those 'contactees', Avis also meets their requirements. Anyway, the real seed members absorbed by the Chamber of Commerce have been secretly transported by him to various safe places for training, waiting to see if the children of destiny will appear in the future.
As for the forces of the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce that have excessive appetites and attempt to directly annex him, Anvis also welcomes them, because they are negative examples that he uses to scare the monkeys.
Because he has the ability to partially control the web of destiny, as an eighth-level peak prophet, when he really takes action, the destructive power is actually quite amazing, and the attack method is difficult to prevent.
If it is not necessary, even ninth-level people are generally unwilling to provoke high-level prophets.
As time goes by, everything is developing steadily.
In this incident, the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce lost some branch locations, but in contrast, Anvis also established interest ties with many high-level officials in the kingdom.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that Anvis made many attacks from a distance, destroyed two cross-kingdom-level forces, and seriously injured an eighth-level prophet.
However, when time advanced to the glorious month (May), Avis was on the main body of Pamir College and received a letter from Claire after a long absence.
The content of the letter was very concise, just saying hello, and then attached a time and place, hoping to make an appointment with him.
While reading the letter, Anvis seemed to see the smile of the blond half-elf girl in front of his eyes.
Anvis is also a little curious about what the girl will gain from her journey to explore the city of origin [Aina].
Especially when the inheritance information he had previously harvested in the dream inheritance land, the ultimate weapon of the star civilization, also existed in [Yaina].
.
….….
It is the eighteenth day of the glorious month of the glorious calendar year 2465.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Anvis went to the unknown wilderness on the outskirts of the imperial capital as promised.
In a sea of bluebells with white flowers in full bloom, Anvis finally met Claire, whom he had not seen for a long time.
She still looks the same as before, with blue eyes like a clear ocean, pure golden hair shining in the sun, white pointed ears that twitch from time to time, and a sense of freedom and dreaminess surrounding her whole body.
the breath.
"Anvis, this way-"
When she saw the figure of Anvis, the half-elf girl's slightly cold expression suddenly turned away, revealing a smile as bright as the moonlight.
Wearing a brown traveler's cloak and a slender silver-gray one-handed sword hanging from her waist, she stood up from the big rock she was sitting on and waved to Anvis.
At the same time, several people around her also stood up.
"Is that the friend you're waiting for?"
Seeing Claire's happy look, a young traveler wearing leather armor spoke in amusement.
Along the way, he had never seen such a beautiful smile on a girl.
"They are traveler friends I met on the road. Because their destinations are all in the royal capital, we travel together."
When Anvis came closer, Claire took the initiative to introduce him.
"Hello, everyone."
Walking closer, Anvis glanced at the few companions around the girl, and while saying hello with a smile, his voice rang in the heart of the half-elf girl.
"Are you traveling with them? These people are not even at level four. Wouldn't it be too cruel to choose them as your companions?"
Claire rolled her eyes slightly when she heard Anvis' message.
'It's just a trip, not an exploration of ruins, and it won't last long, so there won't be much danger.'
