Chapter 8 Debt!

The shade lemon was shocked by him. In the conversation between the vampire and the dark night elf, she overheard that Greenless was the backbone of the Shadow Guild here, but she didn't expect that he was not only the backbone, but even the president at all.

"What can surprise you with a president who knows when he will die?" Greenless took a look at her.

"Is the Bloody Guild really so powerful?"

"In fact, it's not good," Greenless frowned. "It should be said that the reason why the Shadow Guild was at a low end from the beginning was mainly because it was caught off guard. No one would have thought that so many vampires appeared in this city overnight, and coupled with the internal traits on their side, they would lose a lot because of an enemy's trap. When they regain their feet, the situation could not be brought back. Of course, the Blood Moon Guild is not all vampires. There are also many assassins from other cities and traitors from our side, and we can't figure out who their president is until now. However, after all, the Shadow Guild has developed in this city for decades, and it is not what they say can be eradicated. Up to now, although we have been at a disadvantage, at least we are still in a stalemate for the time being.

"But," Meng Meng thought, "from the vampire's dialogue, they seemed to have any plans for Alina, and even did not hesitate to offend Si for it."

"Well," Greenless nodded, "Alina herself has nothing to pay attention to. If the Blood Moon Association has any attempt on her, I'm afraid it's also for her Miyuan business. However, Mihara Commercial Bank will no longer be able to do it in her father's hands. If it hadn't been for the Copasan family to guarantee and provide loans for her, Miyuan Commercial Bank would have been acquired by Senator Montt because of bankruptcy six months ago.

"Guido Monte?" The lemon suddenly stopped. She has heard the name more than once.

"Does Guido Monte have an adopted son named Yu Ruohan?" She looked at Greenless.

"Is it as cold as rain?" Greenless frowned, "I don't know much about this. Although Guido Montt is relatively powerful in the parliament, his secret relationship with the Shadow Guild has always been good, and we have never paid much attention to him.

"I have always felt that there is something wrong with the rain, although I can't explain it." The shade lemon sighed.

"Guido Monte?!" Greenless seemed to be reminded by her of some key points, "I'm afraid I'm going to send someone to investigate him and his adopted son. Now that I think about it, there are indeed some problems with some of Senator Montt's recent proposals.

"Is it related to *?" Meng thought of Barr's father's death. "I heard that a batch of inferior quality * that caused many deaths has recently flowed into the underground market. I have seen one of the dead, and I am a little concerned about the appearance of his death."

"Well," Greenless nodded, "that group* has nothing to do with the Shadow Guild, so it may only come in through the Blood Moon Guild. However, the market of * has always been very fastidious, and the Blood Moon Guild has not fully controlled the underground market here. It is reasonable that they have no reason to destroy their image in underground trading at this time. After all, once there are more deaths caused by smoking *, it will force the authorities to crack down. And for some reason, Senator Mont has been obstructing the bill to intensify the crackdown in parliament during this period. Although he knows that this practice is only a delay and inevitably damages his image among the citizens, he still wants to do so. I'm afraid he really has ulterior motives.

"It's really messy." Meng smiled bitterly, "But for me, the biggest headache now is the safety of Anna and Alina. I don't know when the assassin will start to attack Anna, and I'm not sure if the Blood Moon Guild's plot against Alina will put her in danger. But I'm just one person, and I can't protect both of them at the same time. I wanted you to protect Anna for me. I'll take care of Alina, but you're so busy now..."

"So that's the problem," Greenless smiled faintly. "You just need to protect Alina. Anna has been protecting her all the time."

"Are you the one sent?" Yin Meng was stunned first, and then a little confused, "No, if someone protects Anna secretly, I can't have found it until now..."

"Not from the Shadow Guild." Greenless said, "It's a person you, me or Anna know. Don't ask who that person is. Anyway, you can give Anna to him at ease.

The yinmon looked at him confusedly.

Of course, she believes Greenless, and Greenless will never joke about such things.

But who the hell is that person?

Seeing that Greenless didn't seem to want to say it clearly, she had to forget it. After thinking about it, she said, "Yes, do you have any way to get me some of that kind of problem*? I want to see what's in it.

Greenless nodded.

*

As for the person Greenless said, "I have been protecting Anna", no matter how Meng guesses, he doesn't know. After returning to the pharmacy, she has been observing the surroundings, and the same is true on the way back to her residence. However, she did not find anyone following Anna all the time.

If you have to name the most suspicious person, the most suspicious person is herself.

After dark, Alina also came back, but she came back alone, not sent back by Yu Ruohan. However, Lin Meng felt that Alice didn't look very happy. In fact, since Lin Meng came to Katia to see her, she felt that she had never been happy.

They didn't do anything special that night. After dawn, the lemon began to taste Alicena and insisted on following her.

"Aren't you going to the pharmacy with Anna?" Alice asked.

"The pharmacy is not fun at all." The shade lemon pouted.

"It's even worse if you are with me." Alina rubbed her hair funnyly, "I have a lot of things to do and I can't stay with you all the time."

"It doesn't matter," Meng hugged her. "I just want to be by your side."

"Well, all right."

So, Alina dressed her up and made her look like a little princess with a plaid dress and a white hat, with a knot on her chest and a ribbon at her waist. To be honest, although Alina is kind-hearted, Lemon doesn't like it at all. She felt that this dress made her more awkward.

After saying goodbye to Anna, they got into the carriage. The carriage rumbled on the street, mixed with the noise around, making Katisya's morning look particularly energetic. At the beginning, Alina just came to some stores affiliated with Miyuan Commercial Firm with her lemon. Miyuan Commercial Company operates a lot of goods, but it is mainly a pharmaceutical shop. They have their own medicinal materials cultivation base and a factory specializing in processing various drugs. Of course, these drugs are commonly known as blood bottle therapeutic agents or melting agents, which have always been popular with adventurers.

In New Asia, although the Adventurers' Guild is also subject to some restrictions, it is not completely banned as in the Fair Kingdom.

In addition, magic medicinal materials are also one of the main commodities of Miyuan Commercial Bank. Generally speaking, magicians are relatively rich, and they usually do not have time to collect materials by themselves. Therefore, the sale of magical medicinal materials is like decorative boutiques. Although the sales volume is not high, they are quite profitable.

After making some things to the guys in those shops, they got into the carriage and drove east of the city. As she passed a street, Alina suddenly stopped the car. She poked her head and carefully observed the carriage driven by the other party. It was a two-horse carriage, which was designed to be relatively simple, but it could properly reflect the noble identity of the user.

The people in the carriage obviously also noticed Alice and immediately stopped the horse.

A middle-aged man came down and came to Alice's carriage to take off his hat.

"Mr. Maupassant?" Alina looked at him in surprise, "I'm about to go to your place."

"Miss Alina," Senator Maupassant looked at Alina with an apologetic face. "Because of an important matter, I had to rush to the conference square. I have sent a servant to inform you that I want to temporarily cancel the meeting with you this morning, but it seems that he didn't make it."

"I went out early today." Alina said, "If possible, please let me take you to the conference square in my car. I just have something to discuss with you and won't bother you for too long."

"I'd love to," Senator Maupassant bowed gracefully. "I'm also sorry for being forced to cancel the meeting with you."

"It's not your fault," Alina smiled. "You're a busy person."

So, Alina let the senator get into the carriage and let the carriage fall down and drive to the parliament square, while Parliamentarian Maupassant's own carriage followed them.

Out of courtesy, Alina introduced the lemon to the senator, and then the senator stiffly took the lemon's little hand and kissed her on the back of her hand. Although it's just the back of her hand, it still makes her feel cold to be kissed by a man. She looked at the man to find out what the relationship between him and Alina was.

The congressman is wearing a cotton top with a wide black knot and a white wrinkled collar shirt. His expression is also very serious. Even if he treats the lemon that is obviously a child, he is modest and not rude like a lady who has reached the age to attend the dance. Although she has always disliked to get with such a serious person, anyway, she feels that she at least doesn't hate him.

"Mr. Maupassant." Alina said apologetically, "Actually, this time, I hope you will grace the repayment period of Mihara Commercial Bank for a few days. I know this will embarrass you, but I will raise the money as soon as possible..."

"Please excuse me," Senator Maupassant politely interrupted Alicena's words. "As far as I know, it is difficult to repay the loan in the current situation of Miyuan Commercial Bank, and according to the contract, if you still can't pay it off tomorrow, we will have the right to dispose of the plantation you used as collateral on Linpu Island. To be honest, I don't want to see this happen, but as you know, I don't have the right to deal with this loan at will.

"I understand." Alina nodded. The other party is a family business. Although MP Maupassant's reputation is the highest in his family, the specific business is even operated by his father.

She said, "However, if you are willing to help me, I think you should be able to persuade your father to relax the loan by ten days."

"This is what I can do." The congressman said, "I'm willing to help."

"Thank you, sir."

"However," Senator Maupassant looked at Alina, "If you are willing to listen, I would like to give you a proposal."

"Please say it."

The congressman looked at her and sighed slowly: "If the price to be too high, I hope you will give up your efforts to repay the loan. That plantation is not worth paying for it, and there is also Miyuan Commercial Firm. Instead of reluctantly operating, it is better to choose a good price as soon as possible. As far as I know, there are still many people who want to buy it.

Alina's face began to become angry: "Do you suspect that I don't have the ability to maintain my father's business? Or do you suspect that I just want to delay the repayment time unsurely?

"No, Alina, you misunderstood," Senator Maupassant smiled bitterly. "I'm just worried that you worked hard and didn't get anything. Katisya is just a beautiful shell. Once war breaks out, it will collapse immediately, prices will begin to rise wildly, and * will turn into waste paper. New Asia is a country that has developed by free commerce. Once the commercial system is chaotic, all conflicts will arise immediately. At that time, New Asia's resistance may not be as good as the already declining Fair Kingdom.

"War?" Alice was stunned there, "Didn't you say there would be no war? President Dante personally assured the citizens in Parliament Square a few days ago..."

"His guarantee is not worth mentioning," Maupassant sneered. "Those people are still dreaming. They don't believe that the Fair Kingdom and Si can make peace, and even want to take advantage of the war between the Fair Kingdom and Si to make a fortune.

"However, it is impossible to fight against the Fair Kingdom and Si at the same time..."

"They don't need to fight on both sides," Senator Maupassant said lightly. "It's us who need to fight on both sides. The aristocracy in the north of the Kingdom of Fair is so divided that it is impossible to counterattack the south. On the contrary, we need to face the army that has occupied Bincheng and put Xinya in the middle at the same time. I have been trying to make others realize this in parliament and mobilize mercenaries in advance for defense, but they are like ostriches burying their heads under the sand. They just believe that the war will not happen to themselves. Instead, they are worried that the action of dispatching troops will cause a 'misunderstanding' to General Dreddington. Humph, That's ridiculous!"

Alina's face gradually turned pale.

Although the senator's words worried her, Alina was still a little hesitant to believe that the war would really happen in Xinya. She has escaped from Fort Long to here. If there is also a war here, where else can she go?

But Meng knew that Senator Maupassant's analysis was right. She has been listening and has to admire the senator's grasp of the situation. What Maupassant said is almost the same as the judgment of the former lone wolf general Leot, who left the White Sands Castle. Unfortunately, although the parliamentary system in New Asia is far superior to the Kingdom in terms of democracy and fairness, it is surprisingly slow in decision-making on important matters. And if you can't convince others to agree with your judgment, Maupassant's personal analysis of the situation is useless even if it is correct.

The carriage soon arrived at Parliament Square, and Senator Maupassant calmly got out of the carriage and said goodbye to Alicena and Meng.

Alina gave the driver an address and asked the carriage to continue on the road. And she sat in the car, thinking uncertainly.

Shamemon knew that the senator's judgment of the situation had shaken Alina's heart, but the city's usual noise and vitality also made Alina hope from the bottom of her heart that the senator's guess was actually wrong. The lemon was half lying on Alice's lap. She knew that she was just a child in Alice's eyes and couldn't give her any advice, so she had to accompany her quietly.

After a while, Alina sighed slowly. She looked at the lemon and suddenly thought of one thing: "Where's your wooden stick?"

"I gave it away!" Meng raised her head and smiled at her.

"Isn't that your mother's relic?"

"Well," theemon hugged her and said softly, "but I have Alicena now!"

Although Yin Meng just found an excuse to explain that she gave Xue Qiner the wooden stick she had been holding for the past few days, Alice's heart was warm.

"Stupid child!" She fell down and kissed the girl on the forehead...
