"Obviously, he has lost power, there is no need for us to be afraid of him anymore!"

"Agreed, why should we provide free food and lodging to a robber?"

"Kick him out of our hotel!" "Take back our upper floors!"

In the lower bathhouse, several business leaders headed by Shi Ping, the head of the Black Fire Association, were giving loud speeches. They clenched their fists and were very excited.

"Everyone, be quiet and let our Mr. Melov speak." Kiichi Kishimoto of Silver Wolf Capital, the vice chairman/chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, said.

The venue gradually became quiet. Merov cleared his throat and said in a gentle tone, "Everyone, please be patient and don't rush to express your views."

"Chen Xing, Mr. Chen is indeed in trouble now, but we can't add insult to injury because of this. On the contrary, we should treat him with courtesy when he is in trouble, so that he will be grateful to us in the future..."

"I object!"

Before Merov finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shi Ping from Black Fire.

"He's just a low-level mercenary who relied on women to rise to power. He's not worth our investment at all!" Shi Ping said resolutely, "He has no chance!"

"According to the latest reports, both the Red Dragon Grand Duke and the White Night Grand Duke are here. One of them is guarding outside the south gate, and the other is guarding outside the north gate. You don't have to guess who this move is aimed at." Shi Ping said in a bad tone, "He is now

Even if you put on wings, don’t even think about flying out!”

"President Shi Ping, you need to take a longer view."

Although Melov's speech was interrupted, he was not angry and patiently persuaded him, "If we observe the past trajectory of Mr. Chen, we will find that his official career is full of ups and downs."

"Both the queens of the north and the south are not fools. The fact that they can reuse him at the same time shows that he has some extraordinary qualities that we don't know about."

"Perhaps he will be reinstated in two days. By then, aren't you afraid of being liquidated?" Meilov asked Shi Ping.

"This..." Several business leaders who had just agreed with Shi Ping showed fearful expressions.

"What are you afraid of!" Shi Ping blushed and said, "You see what the news said, he was stepped into the mud, how can you expect to turn over?"

Speaking of excitement, Shi Ping swore, "If he can turn over, I will put his head upside down!"

Under Shi Ping's encouragement, several business leaders who showed scared expressions instantly regained their confidence and all agreed, "That's so right!"

"One foot in two boats and two sides benefit from it. How can it be possible in the long run?"

“The nature of the wallflower has been exposed

, I was immediately abandoned by both sides at the same time, I deserve it!"

Seeing that the merchants were getting more and more excited, Merov quickly stopped him, "Everyone, please don't be impulsive!"

"What are the principles that our merchants have relied on for survival for thousands of years?" The scene became quiet, and Merov asked himself, "The answer is..."

"Don't participate in politics and don't fight against those in power!"

"It will not do us any good to rush to take a stand!"

"At least wait and see for a while, wait until everything settles, and it's not too late to make a decision!"

Melov persuaded him earnestly. His many years of experience in the big winds and waves of shopping malls told him that the only way to sail with caution is to sail for thousands of years. Chen Xing seemed to have been abandoned by the core of power in the North and the South, but the other party's political experience was full of ups and downs.

The ups and downs of powerful officials are often caused by the king's thoughts. What's more, there are rumors that Chen Xing has a deep relationship with the two queens.

As the saying goes, if a couple fights at the end of the bed, it is not impossible that the queen will get back to him one day when she is happy.

Therefore, Merov did not intend to add insult to injury. On the contrary, he planned to be an investor who provided help in times of need.

However, Merov's persuasion did not impress the business leaders headed by the Blackfire Chamber of Commerce, and Shi Ping even responded with sarcasm.

"Melov, I think you are too old and you don't even have the basic sense of adventure as a businessman."

"You have lost the spiritual inheritance of the God of Business/Yunhuateng Buffett."

"I can't help but think about whether the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce in Sanchahe City should be replaced by someone else?"

Facing Shi Ping's aggressiveness, Melov's face turned extremely cold.

"Do you know what you are talking about?" Melov asked in a cold tone.

"Of course I know what I'm talking about, Mr. Melov..." Shi Ping said gloomily, and then his face changed, and he said in a strange way, "Oh, I forgot, I should call you Lord/Master."

Merov didn't answer, just looked at the other party coldly.

The smell of gunpowder at the scene became stronger and stronger, and the merchants moved subconsciously. Gradually, they divided into two groups headed by Melov and Shi Ping.

Let’s call them “moderates” and “confrontationalists.”

"Okay, okay..."

After a long silence, Merov nodded and broke the silence.

"How to choose a stance is the right of every citizen."

"I respect the decision of every gentleman sitting here, whether it's

Those who support me or those who don’t support me.”

"As long as there are more than five opposing votes, I can hand over the title of Chairman of the Sanchahe City Chamber of Commerce at any time."

"Even the Golden Flea can break away from the Chamber of Commerce."

"Then……"

"I would like to announce here that Golden Flea will continue to provide free accommodation and all necessary assistance to Mr. Chen and his team."

"That ends today's discussion."

"Everyone, please go back!"

Merov announced.

The business leaders looked at each other a few times, some had complicated expressions, some whispered, and left the bathing place one after another.

The party eventually broke up.

When the business leaders left the bathhouse, it was already dark.

In the upper area, Chen Xing, who had not slept all night, rubbed his face, got up to wash up, and then summoned everyone.

After a night of thinking, he had accepted the fact that he had fallen from the peak of power.

The top priority now is to go to White Elephant City and tell the World Network Center about the problem with the mastermind of the Clear Network.

Sora dares to interfere in human society so blatantly and behaves so confidently, which is really disturbing.

He had suspected before that Sora seemed to be planning something, especially after experiencing the incident of the Gluttonous Lord, he increasingly felt that there was a huge secret hidden behind Sora or Nova.

It's just that Nova and Zhao Ruoxi merged, half of them are human, and their stance has changed subtly.

Sora and Nova can no longer be considered the same species, so it is not surprising that they have differences.

What is Sora planning? He must figure it out. He has a hunch that this will be a major event involving all mankind.

For more than two hundred years, mankind's dependence on the mastermind of the ClearNet has far exceeded mankind's own imagination. If anything goes wrong, the entire world will fall into chaos.

He is not a person with a particularly strong sense of social responsibility. He only needs to cultivate his own one-third of an acre of land, but he caused the trouble himself and cannot let others wipe his ass.

PS:

I took a few days off to have a minor surgery, which required hospitalization.

Some time ago, I was bitten by a mosquito or some poisonous insect on my forehead, and it broke. Then it healed and then buckled, and then it broke and healed again. As a result, it has now grown into a scab and needs minor surgery to remove it.
