The Great Demon King

Chapter 77 "Position of Guildmaster "

“Bocah, girlfriend?” Grover was surprised and had a very strange expression when he saw Phoebe. His gaze at Han Shuo afterward was even stranger, and confirmed again as if he did not believe what he had just heard. “Is he really your girlfriend?”

“Of course.” Phoebe nodded in agreement, and stretched out her arms with a red face and held Han Shuo's left hand, as if she wanted to prove a connection between the two.

Han Shuo's mouth opened as if someone had inserted an egg into his mouth, a dumbfounded expression appearing on his face. He did not react until he felt Phoebe quietly putting pressure on his arm with her small hands, laughing dryly and nodding without explaining anything.

One of the Guild elders spoke cheerfully with Grover saying hesitantly to Grover in a low voice, “What is the background of this child?”

Grover did not say much, just glanced at this person and turned his body to the side. She smiled, “Because she's your boyfriend Phoebe, then there's no problem. Hurry up and get in. ”

Dragging Han Shuo, Phoebe's facial expression was as usual as she walked into the hall. He greeted the few founding members with a smile and continued to drag Han Shuo to a place with fewer people.

The servants held plates containing high-quality fruits and wine throughout the hall, placing them on a square table located in a large area. A large candlestick overhead sends a bright light into every crack of the room. The decorations, which were scattered throughout the hall, were extremely luxurious, giving the rural person, like Han Shuo, quite a shock.

But, what surprised Han Shuo the most were Phoebe's words earlier. When he saw that there was no one around him, he immediately smiled wryly at Phoebe, “Nona Phoebe, what are you doing by doing all this?”

Comfortably snatching a glass of wine, Phoebe poured herself a glass of delicious red wine, gracefully lifting it to the lips for a light taste, finally spoke after, “Don't think too much, just lift it up, I'm just looking for cover for your presence and don't mean anything else with it. If I hadn't said such things, you probably wouldn't have made it in. ”

Nodding, Han Shuo sighed resignedly and said, “I know that nothing good will happen if I follow you here.”

“You should act more naturally, I'll discuss things for you. This is the Guild's annual meeting and all founding elders will be present. As powerful as Grover was, he wouldn't dare to make a move at the moment, so we don't have to worry. “Phoebe spoke gently to Han Shuo as her eyes constantly scanned her surroundings.

Also taking out a wine glass to pour half a glass, Han Shuo took a sip and tasted it delicious. He scanned his surroundings once again with great interest, finding that many Guild members were also carrying their other parts. There were twenty or thirty people in the entire hall. There were some elderly members and some handsome youths. There were also some beautiful married women with the graceful demeanor and manners of the noble ladies.

Without exception, all of these people were dressed richly and their movements were polite in the city. It looks like this which is called upscale style. Grover held a wine glass in hand and brought everyone together, kindly greeting everyone and looking quite friendly.

“The Boozt Merchant Alliance has always been controlled by the Boozt family. My family had always been Guildmasters before, but since I always traveled outside, the old creature temporarily took the position of a Guildmaster after My father died, but do not think that he has a good relationship with many elders. No one really knows what's going on in the dark, otherwise there's no point in me coming back. ”

As Han Shuo quietly observed the surroundings, Phoebe gave her explanation in a low voice. When Phoebe finished, a thought struck Han Shuo as he suddenly asked, “How did your father die? Didn't you know anything before? ”

When he said this, a trace of killing intent instantly bloomed in Phoebe's eyes. He pressed his voice and said with a cold expression, “I'm still investigating how my father died. I haven't found any evidence yet because I'm usually not in the Guild and therefore not too sure of things. The founding elders might not really believe in my abilities and thus their attitudes were all vague and boundless. My current task is to win the support of the founding elders, otherwise I would not be able to shake that old thing from its position with just my strength. ”

Han Shuo understood that Phoebe also suspected the reason behind his father's death with these words. He did not say much and held his wine glasses, observing them in the hall and personally considering a few things.

A few more people entered after a while. An elder with a gray sideburn walked into the hall with the support of a butler.

When this person appeared, many people in the hall walked over to greet. Phoebe immediately pulled Han Shuo in this direction as well when she saw him, quickly explaining in a low voice, “She Andrew. He founded the Boozt Merchant Guild with my grandfather and is currently the founding elder with the longest service record within the Guild. Even Grover did not dare to act too wildly in front of him. We won't be passive if he helps us. ”

Arriving in front of Andrew, Phoebe bowed and said with a happy smile on her face. “Grand Andrew, you also came!”

“Eh, that's our beautiful little Phoebe. Grandfather hasn't seen you in a while heh heh, You've grown so tall. “ Andrew's left hand holds his cane, while his right hand is supported by a butler as he laughs in Phoebe.

“Good niece, don't just stand around talking, hurry up and let the old man sit down. When one was at that age, it must have been very tiring to ride the carriage here. He must not continue standing, “Grover said to Phoebe as he walked towards Andrew, seemingly wanting to lead Andrew in the seat by his side.

“Heh heh, don't worry. I had a nice conversation with little Phoebe. I haven't seen our little Phoebe in a while. “Andrew avoided Grover's support and actually raised his cane to walk towards Han Shuo and Phoebe.

Grover's eyebrows involuntarily knit into a frown when he saw Phoebe bringing Andrew to the other side with a shocked expression on her face. His gaze patrolled on Andrew's body, seemingly thinking of something.

“Do not worry Grover, everything is organized under your management. I think if the Group Leader finds out, he will be touched and grateful. ”One of the founding elders suddenly spoke at this moment with the other two people beside him side by side.

Han Shuo watched their appearance with cold eyes, having a clear understanding of the things in his heart. He knew that these people must have had a close relationship with Grover, and simply expressed their attitude with these words.

At this moment, Han Shuo, who was sitting next to Phoebe, could clearly hear Andrew snorting in a very low tone. Phoebe was even closer to Andrew and naturally heard things clearly. He glanced subconsciously at Andrew, and exchanged glances with Han Shuo.

“Guildmaster is dead, but our Boozt Merchant Guild is impossible without a Guildmaster forever. I think we should take advantage of this opportunity to thoroughly discuss the details of the new Guildmaster. What is everyone thinking? ”The same person exclaimed in a carrying voice, and the two founding elders, who had clang before, once again agreed. Grover's face was calm, just sitting there and constantly looking around the four corners of the room, with his slightly longer gaze fixed on Phoebe and Andrew.

“Of course, the position of Guildmaster should not be empty for too long, but who would become a Guildmaster? This is an important question. ”A burly elder said in a chair not too far away in a low and muffled voice.

“What else needs to be discussed, Grover should be the new Chairman of the Board. Ever since the Guildmaster died, Grover had been the one to manage the affairs of the Guild. Everyone had also seen that the Guild had been stable and orderly in its hands. I don't think anyone else is qualified to sit in this chair other than Grover. “Grover supporters suddenly stood up and shouted, winning the approval of two others.

Grover stood up with a smile, his face full of hypocritical humility as he said words that his abilities were limited or that he was ashamed of inappropriate praise. The three were firm in that it was definitely him, and the carefree band showed a pretty incredible partnership.

“Uncle Andrew, who do you think is better suited to become the new Group Chairman?” At this moment, the founding elder, who had previously spoken in a low and muffled voice, looked at Andrew from afar and asked.

All the views from the surrounding founding elders were focused on Andrew, as if waiting for him to express his decision.

Andrew looked towards Phoebe, the latter pretending to be calm and composed. He slightly stood up and chuckled, “It's not me that matters, I don't have many more days to live, heh heh.”

Everyone showed a friendly smile after his words. Grover also smiled and laughed softly, as if he heaved a sigh of relief because he was really afraid that Andrew would step forward and snatch the Guildmaster position from him.

“However,” Andrew's gaze swept across the crowd and he continued, “I think little Phoebe has grown. Since she was the daughter of a Guildmaster and a member of the Boozt family clan, logically, she was the one most qualified to become a new Guildmaster. Why didn't anyone mention this? ”

“No, absolutely not. Miss Phoebe was too young and always traveled outside. He didn't even know all the things in the Guild. If he became a Guildmaster, he could damage the Guild's business. “the founding elders, who had enforced Grover, immediately protested loudly.

“Kiro, that may not be the case. Even though Miss Phoebe was young, I saw that she was quite knowledgeable and mature, she also knew the right limits to speaking and acting when doing things. Perhaps with him at the helm, he would even be able to bring further developments to the Guild. “A founding elder suddenly opened his mouth. All the other elders who had been silent without a word suddenly chimed in when they saw Andrew expressing his support for Phoebe. The other three or four elders still remained silent, as if expressing their neutrality.

“How, how will this do? We cannot take the future of the Guild as an experiment for its competence. “Faithful supporter Grover called Kiro immediately complains.

“How not? If I recall correctly, when the old Guildmaster first took over the Guild, he was only twenty-three years old, but under the guidance of Andrew and a few others, he was only twenty-three, The old guildmaster quickly grew and helped the Guild become more prosperous with each day. . I believe that Miss Phoebe will also be able to do it. Not to mention with us helping him, no big problem will develop as well. “The guy keeps saying.

Grover's face darkened and he stopped talking after Andrew spoke. Finally standing up at this moment, he said to Phoebe, “Good nephew, your girlfriend used to be an errand boy for the Magic and Power Academy of Babylon, and was a slave. Don't think that I poked my nose in too many places, but if people find out that the two of you are together, it will affect the reputation of our Guild. ”

The few founding elders shifted their focus to Han Shuo after these words, unable to hide the humiliation and humiliation on their faces.

Han Shuo gave a shocked expression of horror, finally understanding that Phoebe's worries were not without reason. It seemed like he had underestimated the strength of Grover and Shadow Ghost. Who would have thought that they could investigate her background with just her first name? Fortunately he spent most of his time in the grave of death these days. Otherwise, if he stayed in the school, he might have long been killed by a highly trained assassin.

“Uncle, what do you mean by this?” At this moment, Phoebe suddenly stood up, her charming face cold as she stared at Grover furiously, wanting to throw all the courtesy aside.

“Do not get angry, my dear nephew. I just want to say that your judgment doesn't seem too good. In order to manage the Guild, bold, thoughtful, and farsighted appraisals were of the utmost importance. If you even chose your future husband from the slaves, then I don't think I'm satisfied to let you become a Guildmaster. “A peaceful smile was still on Grover's face, but his words that he said were quite cruel.

“I think someone who can kill his own brother for profit and constantly sends assassins to try to injure his own nephew is even more worthless than the position of Guildmaster.” Han Shuo also stood up and watched Grover with a cold smile, completely fearless and seemingly unaware of how shocking his words were. Pausing in the dumbfounded gazes of the entire hall, Han Shuo said again, “Please remember that I am a student of the Academy now. I no longer have the status of a slave and will never again. ”
