"There is no free lunch in the world." Rotia replied with a smile. "So, what can I get?"

"Of course... I'm willing to turn a blind eye to you." Ashu Rufate said seriously. "Now, the underground world of Eagle City is yours. If anyone dares to object to this... well, I can provide assistance."

"It's a pity, Mr. Ashurufate, you may have misjudged the situation." Rotia replied.

"Ah, is there something that I don't know?"

"I have to say that you have vision and foresight." Rottiya sighed long. "As Mr. Asu Ruffatt said in the past, the throne of the king of the underground world is built in the void. A ray of light from outside will cause the throne to collapse directly. You should know what Duke Byron did, which was the period after the death of Byron."

"Ah...this..."

"He transferred an army from somewhere... I guess it was his own private army and then mixed it into the guard force of the Hawk City. As the Regent, he had no difficulty in doing so. I remember telling you my concerns in the past, but the facts still proved that I underestimated that one."

Asu Ruffat remembered the warning that Rotia once gave him. Of course, the street killing scenes he had witnessed with his own eyes. Those are not the usual "arrests".

"Later, in the two days when the coup was launched and martial law was in progress, Byron added another effort. The situation now is... the entire underground world collapsed temporarily. I don't know where he got the list. In short, most of the leaders... let alone the leaders, there are not even a few middle-level or backbone members left. If someone survives, then he must be deeply hiding now, or simply escape from the city and wait for this wave to pass."

"Luckily you're fine."

"Fortunately I never come forward, or someone is concerned about it...my sister." Rotia sighed again. "You understand now that the throne of this underground world has disappeared, because without subjects, there is no throne."

"you mean……"

"After this time the underground gangs have basically disappeared. Perhaps only the property of those gangs can be proven to exist... Of course, they are all inheritances now." Rotia said in a sigh.

Ashu Rufate smiled. "Well, since that's the case...what is the price I have to pay? To be honest, everything except money is easy to say."

"Okay...but, I don't seem to want anything particularly to do now. So, Mr. Ashurufat, you might as well give me a promise. That is, one day in the future, you must promise me something. Of course, this thing will definitely be within your ability, or something you can do."

"It's fair, I promise you."

"Very good..." Rotia took paper and pen from the side and started writing. "I'll give you a list and address... They can help you. In fact, there are several people who are your neighbors. But I heard that you and your neighbors are not particularly related."

Soon, she wrote everything and handed it over to Ashu Rufate. Ashu Rufate began to read slowly.

"Let's make it clear first, those guys from the chamber of commerce... are not easy to deal with." Rotia said. "Gangs often use the chambers of commerce to dispatch funds and store wealth... Now that something happens, the first reaction of these chambers of commerce is to swallow the funds quietly. In other words, if there is not enough backend, if those guys don't give them a little color, they will definitely not spit it out obediently! However... the merchants are greedy on the one hand, but also timid on the other hand."

Ashu Rufate put away the paper, but he had no intention of leaving.

"What, Mr. Ashu Rufate, is there anything else?"

"Actually...well, I have another request." Ashu Rufate said.

"Hey..." Rotia sighed. "The woman's intuition is indeed correct. Let's talk about it, what else do you need?"

"This... although it's a bit presumptuous, I hope Ms. Lalia can help me with some help."

"What kind of small busy?"

"I want to find a...suitable personal guard for our little queen." Ash Rufate said. "In this situation, I really can't spend too much time on the queen's safety. I thought about it, but I only thought of a suitable candidate, that is Lalia... Miss."

"There is no free lunch in the world." Rotia repeated this sentence.

"I can see a suitable price. For example... let the girl keep her identity confidential. In addition, it can...well... cancel the wanted order for "Blood Rose". Finally... as long as you want, I can ask the Queen to sign a secret agreement with you... This area called Huajie... can truly become your territory."

"I don't have any interest, can I refuse?" Rotia asked, but before Eshu Ruffat could answer, she laughed again. "Well, actually, I want to get something else."

"What kind of thing?"

"...If one day the vampire discovers my sister's affairs, he will definitely send minions to cause trouble... By that time, I hope that Groney official will give me all possible help."

"Of course, this is fine." Ashu Rufat smiled softly. "By the way, I'm not here for a few days, how is Ajin?" he asked casually.

"I heard that the business is doing well," Rotia replied. "I have hardly seen him in that apartment during this period. Maybe I'm so busy. This is normal. The 'Scroll' Chamber of Commerce he formed has officially opened now."

"Hey, can he still do business in such turmoil these days?" Ashu Rufat felt that this was really incredible.

"That's his ability," Rotia replied. "If martial law comes and martial law, he will not be able to stop him. After all, he is now a partner of the church... a team of priests from the church are followed by, even Duke Byron, he must give him a special pass. The guards must not dare to stop him."

"Where can I find him now?"

"You can have an impression of a white independent double-storey building over there, with a very unique shape. Now it is his office. But I guess it will be difficult for you to find him recently because I heard that he is running around and expanding his business. It will take about a while."

...

"General," as Robin spoke, Beller was drinking tea leisurely while looking at a document. In theory, Beller is recuperating at home due to illness, but in fact, he is completely lazy.

Because of the illness, Berell has closed his door now. He has not seen anyone except Robin and a few close friends, and even his colleagues who visited the disease are locked outside the door. The reason is that "it may be a vicious infectious disease, so the doctor told him not to contact outsiders." However, perhaps it was because there was a tacit understanding between the monarch and his subjects, or it was planned by Berell that every day people in the palace would send some documents to record the various major events that are happening.

"What's the matter?" Berel said leisurely, without even raising his head.

"The latest mansion from the palace." Robin delivered the letter in his hand to Beller. "Sir, the situation is not as you expected."

"What did I expect?"

"You said that Grooney's little queen...will collapse himself soon."

"Ah, this... I just say that she was facing a helpless bad situation, but when will she end the curtain call... This is hard to say. In addition, she did something smart, which is actually a very smart thing."

"What kind of clever thing?"

"Ah, she copied a windfall from the Eagle Falcon City. Of course, although it was nominally stolen money, God actually knew what it was. But with at least such money, she could finally breathe for a while." Berel smiled. "If I were to give her a suggestion, I would suggest that she flee to a foreign country with the huge sum of money she had copied."

"Ah..." Robin didn't expect Bell to have such a conclusion.

"The key is...these money is all one-time," Beral explained. "Sitting out the road, it's gone after it's used up. Byron will do his best to prevent the little queen from getting a stable source of wealth. And he is indeed easy to do this... As long as he can win over several major lords in the central region, he can cut off the western route of the Hawk City - the main direct territories of the royal family are on this side. Once this happens, she may not be able to get taxes."

"Is there no chance?" Robin asked suspiciously.

"There's no chance." Berel replied. "She can't attack because she has no money to maintain the cost of military war (this is something our country has deeply understood), she can't defend because it means waiting to die slowly... Well, in fact, it's also the guy Byron who is too cunning. It makes our little queen lose the only chance to win."

"The only chance to win?"

"Well, it's just to lead the guards to catch up and kill Byron. This is a very small chance, but it must not be said to be impossible." Belle said. "Belle is very smart. He killed or took away all the officials of the Falcon City... and left the little queen a chaotic city. To be honest, this trick seems meaningless... and a bit despicable, but it has indeed won time. Robin, do you think I'm like a crow's mouth?"

"Absolutely no such intention, General."

"To be honest, I feel very sorry, too." Berel put the empty cup back on the table. "The little queen of the Markremiz family has done much better than anyone expected - including me. Do you know, she actually succeeded... and ransomware from the vampires in the Chamber of Commerce."

"Chamber of Commerce? How is it possible?" Robin asked in confusion. "Didn't you say that no matter how internal strife, no one will attack the Chamber of Commerce? Because those merchants are not so easy to deal with, hurting them is equivalent to committing public anger... In addition, it will also cause long-term harm..."

"Ah, it's not what you understand. Indeed, it's hard for those cross-border chambers to deal with... But this time the chambers of commerce were in the first place. Well, in fact, this is the case. The "criminals" who were searched by the queen this time were in the chambers of commerce. As usual, the chambers of commerce would embezzle the ownerless money, but unfortunately the little queen found evidence and forced them to hand over the money, and asked them to pay a fine. She may have one or two million gold Olis on hand now, enough for her to last for several months..." Beller reported a number lightly, indicating that he knew much more than Robin expected. Of course, Robin would not be surprised at all.
