Things soon came to light. As the protagonists of the Green Field Tribe’s first corruption incident, Lacey and her partner Han Ji were obviously unqualified.
Allen didn't even use any ferocious means to extort a confession. He just used his cold and ruthless eyes to stare into Lacey's eyes and asked, scaring her so much that everything he and his accomplices did was thrown away like a bamboo tube. Speak up. Patriarch Allen's lustful power and methods could still not be erased from her mind. Lacey did not understand the truth of being a qualified corrupt official: if you confess, you would be punished by being jailed, but if you resisted, you would be punished and go home for the New Year.
After Lacey and Hanji came to Thorn Castle and saw the splendor of the outside world, they couldn't resist the temptations of the outside world and indulged in all kinds of unimaginable lives in the wilderness.
Luxurious and elegant embroidered clothes, exquisite and beautiful jewelry, and a life full of enjoyment and being well served by others. That is the life a pursuing goblin should live! !
Gradually, Lacey began to entertain the idea of buying a property and leaving the Green Field Tribe to live in the Elf Kingdom, hoping to live here for a long time.
And when she mentioned this idea to her friend Han Ji, it happened that Han Ji, who had no feelings for the Green Tribe, had an idea. Anyway, Hanji and Lacey both have good cooking skills. As long as they can raise the funds to open a restaurant and a small shop, life in the Elf Kingdom will not be difficult for them.
The business of Allen's Pasta Restaurant has given Lacey and Hanji strong confidence. Even though they don't actually know the recipe of the pasta restaurant's secret sauce, they may not necessarily need these things to make ordinary dishes in order to win people's hearts. of.
However, if they want to establish a foothold in the city of the Elf Kingdom and purchase a property, the funds required are not something that Lacey and his wife, who have only been working as a noodle restaurant manager and chef for only 2-3 years, can easily accumulate. As time went by, seeing that the five-year supervisory period was coming, but the couple had not been able to save much money, they finally started to have other ideas.
Of course, with the brains and courage of Lacey and his wife, they would not have embarked on this path of no return if no one had encouraged them.
After all, the image of Allen as a strong and shrewd clan leader has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As a member of the clan who has watched the clan grow to this point, Lacey knows the hardships after personally taking charge of a small noodle restaurant. There are also the cruel methods of the wilderness towards betrayers, etc., all of which linger in Lacey's mind, pouring icy cold water on her restless heart again and again.
However, when a human appeared next to Lacey and the others, all obstacles and doubts became worth mentioning because of the other person's eloquent lips.
Humans are a greedy and imaginative race. As a traveler, William Canley traveled to the Elf Kingdom. He was already notorious in his homeland because several of his transactions failed miserably. In the end, Forced to flee to this distant elven kingdom by the debt collectors, he tried to start a new life.
However, the strange Elf Kingdom was not friendly. Wo Lian, who had never suffered much in the first place, was fired for various reasons after changing jobs several times. In this way, after wasting more than a month in the Castle of Thorns, out of curiosity, Wo Lian took out his newly paid salary and stepped into this bustling restaurant filled with the tempting aroma of food to celebrate his 32nd birthday. , a plate of noodles with soybean paste, which cost only 50 copper coins, captured Wo Lian's heart at that time.
In the days that followed, Wo Lian sought various temporary part-time jobs while saving his meager salary. He tasted almost all the food in Allen's Pasta Restaurant in the west of the city. Every food was so delicious and tempting that he gave birth to a child. I want to learn art.
However, the Green Field tribe had long received a stern warning from Chief Allen, and they would never allow anyone to leak or teach the cooking skills of the tribe to outsiders. Even if Wo Lian knelt on the ground and begged to be a free laborer without a salary, he could not do it. Touch Lacey's heart.
The repeated tastings made Wo Lian full of confidence in the prospects of Allen's pasta. He believed that as long as he could learn this craft and bring it back to the homeland of mankind, it would definitely help him make a comeback.
In the end, after observing in secret for a long time, Wo Lian finally figured out the inner needs of Lacey, a bugbear who seemed to be a bit naive, and then took the initiative to advise Lacey and the others, telling them how to falsify in the account books. What Wo Lian gained himself was that he was able to set foot in the Chengxi Pasta Restaurant by helping Lacey and the others create a clever name, change the income in the accounts, and so on. From then on, he began his career of learning from his master.
Three dwarf guys who were involved in this corruption incident were found out. Allen ordered the remaining innocent guys to lock them up with Lacey and his wife, and then began to interrogate the man who could be said to be the culprit. human fellow.
At this time, Wo Lian, a human being, had been controlled by the dwarf goblins and knelt down directly in front of Allen.
"Dear Chief Allen, I'm sorry for everything I've done."
Wo Lian fell to the ground at this time, his image completely lost, and his clothes became messy under the rough actions of the guys. But there was no chaos in his eyes at all, and he was still very calm when facing Allen.
"But I can make meritorious deeds. I am fully aware of everything Lacey and the others have done. I have also made a detailed account of every corrupted fund. I will show it to you now."
"..."
Allen was silent. This human expression was beyond his expectation. After thinking about it, he suppressed all the emotions in his heart and prepared to see what unexpected things the human in front of him would do.
After getting Allen's consent, Wallen walked to his residence under Bush's supervision.
As early as when he was helping Lacey make suggestions, Wo Lian had already made second-hand preparations, because he knew that his ability to do accounting was really impossible to hide from those professionals, that is, he felt that green The wilderness natives of the Wild Tribe may not be that professional, so they can just speculate on their own.
However, before helping to make plans to do these things, Wo Lian also secretly recorded every tampered figure and the original file, fearing that one day this matter would be exposed and he could use this to reduce his culpability.
After Allen got the accounts written by Wo Lian, the more he read them, the angrier he felt in his heart. He even wanted to kill Lacey and his wife on the spot for their behavior.
However, he finally endured it forcibly. As a city of elven civilization, Castle of Thorns has its own rules. Allen cannot do whatever he wants. Killing someone without permission will be punished by city officials.
Therefore, Allen needs to suppress his murderous intention and take these two dogs and the guy they led bad back to the wilderness before dealing with them.
Allen is already thinking about how to use these two guys to waste and use the most vicious means to warn the restless guys in the tribe and let them know the miserable consequences of betraying the tribe.
"..."
"Very well, I can spare your life in this matter, but there must still be necessary punishment."
Allen's cold eyes looked down at Wo Lian on the ground, his sinister aura exuding, and he was ready to beat this guy violently, maim his hands and feet, and vent the evil in his heart.
There were too many rules in the Castle of Thorns, and Allen couldn't kill him like he did in the wilderness. All he could do was to destroy half of the human life of Wo Lian, and then throw him out of the noodle shop and let him die on his own.
Although, as long as Allen kills the bastard in the hall and dumps the body in a dark corner of the Castle of Thorns, the city's garrison and security personnel may not be able to come to the door, but he has always been used to it. Allen, a steady man, decided not to leave the noodle restaurant in a passive state just for trivial matters.
The greater the income of the noodle restaurant, the more important its status in the Green Field tribe is. As the leader of the tribe, he must not put his tribe's only source of income in danger!
"Chief Allen, I have something to say!!"
Warlian saw Allen about to get up and stared at him with evil eyes. Knowing that something was wrong, he quickly begged for mercy.
"I joined your noodle shop because I want to learn the art of making noodles, and then return to our Lion Heart Kingdom to open a noodle shop."
"If Chief Allen is interested and wants to gain more benefits, I think we can work together."
"Our country has always excluded foreigners. It would probably be very difficult for a foreigner, especially a lowly greenskin, to open a noodle shop in the Lionheart Kingdom. But as a native, it's different for me. As long as I have enough funds, With support and sufficient manpower to help, I am confident that in a short period of time, the signboard of Allen’s Pasta Restaurant can be placed in major cities in our Lionheart Kingdom.”
"At that time, Chief Allen only needs to..."
Obviously, these words of Wo Lian were not something he thought of in a moment, but he had already had a plan in his mind. When he told Allen about it, Allen's eyes showed deep thoughts, and he seemed to be really impressed by Wo Lian's words. Lian was moved.
"...As long as Chief Allen is willing to cooperate with me, we can sign a magic contract and distribute our interests well, and then the rest can be left to me."
Warlian's mouth went dry as he spoke, and at the same time his eyes drifted to Allen from time to time, paying attention to Allen's every move, and his heart was full of expectation and anxiety.
"..."
"I have to think about this matter."
Allen stared at the human in front of him expressionlessly, his eyes were deep, and he did not reveal too much in front of Wo Lian. Then he waved his hand and ordered the dwarf man next to him: "Help him find a room and settle him in a safe place. I'll come over." Come back in a few days."
"OK."
The dwarf man nodded slightly, while Warien on the side was overjoyed. Although he did not receive a positive response from Allen, the change in Allen's attitude could not be faked, and he must have been persuaded by himself.
"Yes, yes, this matter needs to be carefully considered. I am not in a hurry. Chief Allen, you are busy, you are busy!"
It is said that human beings are greedy and smart enough, and sometimes they are even braver than the natives in the wilderness. From this incident, we can see something.
On the way back, Allen was in a daze, thinking only about what Warlian had said before. The other party's rhetoric is really tempting. If it can really succeed, it won't be long before their Green Field tribe will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Having money means that the population can expand rapidly. Even if there are few goblin tribes in the Green Field Plain, Allen can hire a slave-catching team, collude with the slave chamber of commerce, and exchange money for the goblin population. At the same time, Allen can exchange money for knowledge and inheritance, so that important knowledge such as potion plant cultivation, potion refining, and alchemy that were previously slow to progress will be greatly improved in a short period of time.
As the demon appeared in the Green Field Plain and almost wiped out the Green Field Tribe, Allen felt a sense of crisis in his heart. No one knew whether the Green Field Tribe would still exist in the wilderness next moment. middle. Aren't the so-called cooking skills and the so-called secret seasonings just a passing thing in the end?
All kinds of thoughts were flying in Allen's mind. After returning to his residence in the south of the city, he casually dismissed the tribesmen who had been waiting for him for a long time. He lay in his room with all kinds of thoughts and could not fall asleep for a long time.
Having almost no sleep all night, it didn't have much impact on Allen, who had reached the limit of a mortal. After washing with the stimulation of a basin of ice-cold water, Allen regained his clarity and consciousness.
Yesterday, the most important thing at hand was solved. Allen came to Thornburg this time, and there was only one thing left, and that was to visit Ferok, an old goblin who took great care of their tribe and was very kind. .
"Bush, Linus, you two clean up and go out with me later."
Allen was used to bringing the younger generation of children with him every time he went to see the master. However, the big event that happened in the village this time made it difficult for Allen to bring too many people, so he didn't bring him. The younger children in the clan were ready to blame Bush and Linus, two men who were not as good as teenagers.
"oh."
"good!"
Bush smiled naively. Linus, who was beside him, had learned a lesson yesterday afternoon and was now very well-behaved in front of Allen, and his responses were even more cheerful. However, the black and blue marks looming on his face made him look a little funny.
After bringing some bean paste and jam prepared for the elderly, and having breakfast, Allen took Bush and the others out.
More than half a year had passed since the last time Kerr and the others brought back news that the old man Ferok wanted to see him, and Allen didn't know why the old man suddenly wanted to see him.
With doubts, Allen came to the dark alley where the Oak Merchant Group was located. He approached the shop clerk, gave his name and came to pay a visit to Master Ferok.
"I'm sorry, Master Ferok has been in poor health recently. He has resigned from his duties as chief appraiser and has stopped taking turns here."
The elf guy guarding the store was not a familiar face to Allen, so he politely explained to Allen at this time.
"What? Are you sick? Is it serious?"
Allen was shocked that none of the four store managers knew how they handled such a big thing! !
"He is old, and it is normal for him to get sick. But I heard that this time his illness was very serious, so the business group let him recuperate. From now on, he is free."
The elf guy didn't know much, so he just told random information he had heard from hearsay, regardless of whether the information was true or false.
"Thank you then!!"
Allen's eyes were a little more anxious, and he was about to turn around and leave, but thinking that this time could not be in vain, he reminded the other party: "Don't sell the remaining goblins and jackals in your store to the outside world for the time being. I’ll keep it.”
After saying this, Allen threw a silver coin over and was caught firmly by the other party. The smile on his face suddenly became more friendly.
"Okay, sir!"
Allen knew that Master Ferok would usually go out of the city to recuperate in a manor outside the city if he was not on duty at the Chamber of Commerce, or he would recuperate in a residence near several major temples. Although the elf did not tell him where Master Ferok was now, Allen also knew where he should go to visit Master Ferok at this time.
Of course, there is no need to consider the situation outside the city. Although the situation in the Elf Kingdom is peaceful now, there is an undercurrent surging underneath. It is not a safe place outside the city. Therefore, Allen ran towards the old man's residence in the city without thinking.
Sure enough, when he knocked on the door at the old man's residence adjacent to the temple area, a voice in goblin language answered quickly from behind the door.
When the other party opened the door, what came into view was Roberta, the female dwarf goblin who had taken care of Master Ferok all these years. When he saw Allen's thin figure and face, which was very different from ordinary bugbears, the other party suddenly let out an exclamation. : "You guys are finally here!!"
Obviously, Master Ferok probably asked Allen a lot about his tribe during these days of recuperation.
Allen apologized and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, sorry, something happened in the village, and I haven't been able to leave. I didn't come to visit the master until now!!"
"How is his health now, old man?"
"Oh, I can't do it anymore, I've been holding on!!"
Hearing Allen ask about the old man's health, Roberta's mood suddenly changed from excitement to a little sad, shaking her head and saying.
"Come on, come on in quickly, I will take you to see the master, he has been talking about you before!!"
"well!"
Allen's heart was heavy, but he cheered up. After rubbing his stiff face twice, he walked into the house under the leadership of Roberta, followed closely by the two teenagers Bush and Linus. Followed and closed the door smoothly.
Master Ferok's residence in the city does not have much riding skills. The only thing that has some special features is a garden opened in the middle of the wooden building courtyard. The plants planted in the garden are not the exotic flowers and plants of the Elf Kingdom, but are all grown in the Mansha Wilderness. The most common shrubs, flowers and plants have been carefully taken care of by the elderly as if they were treasures.
At this time, the old man was lying on a couch under the shady eaves, with a thin brown blanket wrapped around his body and his eyes closed to relax. He seemed to hear some movement, and his eyes moved a few times but still did not open. Beside him, his most valued disciple, the middle-aged dwarf Charles Mackenning, was gently waving a feather fan to help the old man drive away mosquitoes and the hot air, making the old man less uncomfortable.
Seeing Allen and the others arriving, Charles's eyes became a little brighter, and the movements of his hands did not change, but his eyes lightly clicked twice to say hello to Allen.
"Teacher, who do you think is here?"
At the same time, Ciel lowered his head slightly and called softly into the old man's ear.
"Ah? What did you say?"
Allen and Master Philok haven't seen each other for more than a year. At this time, the old man's face is full of vicissitudes and age, as if life is slowly passing away from this gradually hunched body, which makes Allen heart Some are not tasteful.
Ferok opened his dim eyes. His eyes were no longer as deep as when he looked at Allen in previous years. Instead, they felt a little dull and slow. He only felt a few tall figures shaking in front of him, and then he used his old wrinkled palms to gently push away the eye droppings and turbid water on his lower eyelids, and then he could barely see the familiar faces in front of him.
"You bastard, it's getting harder and harder to get me now!! Tell me, how long ago did I ask you to come see me?"
When the old man saw Allen, his eyes really showed happiness and excitement, but when it came to his words, he was more complaining and angry.
"It's my fault, my fault!!"
It was rare that Allen, who always spoke his mind in Green Lake Village, faced this old man who had helped the village and himself too much. He simply surrendered, slowly squatted down in front of the old man, and then issued a sincere apology.
"Didn't something happen in the village, so I came late? You said you want to punish me, I will admit it."
"Something happened in the village? Is it serious?"
As soon as Allen said something happened in the village, the old man became a little impatient and quickly asked questions.
"It's okay now. A group of demonic troops appeared in our plain before and came to attack our village. Then I, along with your darlings Gupoker and Irene, killed them all. Jing, even the altar of flesh and blood that summoned them to the world was found by us and destroyed directly."
Allen originally didn't want to tell these things to the old man, so as not to make the old man uneasy, but the old man was well-informed, and he probably already knew what was happening in the wilderness and the human kingdom, so he definitely couldn't hide it.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Allen always felt that the old man had a deep affection and bond with him and the Green Field Tribe, as if the old man had already regarded him as a member of the village.
Of course, even though he told the old man the truth, Allen ignored the many hardships and dangers in an understatement. Anyway, everything was over. He was now standing completely in front of the old man, which was enough to show that there were no too many people in the village. Big problem.
"Oh, I just said that something is wrong with this world. I asked Irene to call you here just to give you a heads up and make you be careful!!"
"I didn't expect that the danger will befall you in the end. I know that your village may not be in an easy situation. Did many clan members die?"
What else could Allen say? Facing such a wise elder, how could he hide his secret? He could only smile bitterly: "Well, at least the little guys in the clan are all safe!!"
"By the way, I heard that you have resigned from the Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, please come with me to visit our village this time!!"
Allen didn't want to tell the old man sad things, so he calmly changed the topic to the other side. The old man regards himself as a member of the Green Field Tribe, and Allen regards the old man as his mentor on the way forward!
In these years, Allen would come to visit the old man for many things and decisions. After listening to the old man carefully analyzing and solving his doubts, he made the final decision. It is not true at all to say that the old man is the most important teacher in Allen's life. Too much.
"Oh, I would like to go see the wilderness, but my body won't allow it!!"
When the old man heard Allen talking about this matter, his mood suddenly became depressed, which made Allen feel overwhelmed. Even Roberta who was standing beside him couldn't stand it anymore and gave Allen a blank look!
"...Hahaha, I forgot to tell you, Erin and the others didn't come with me this time, but Boy Bush came with me. Look, has there been any change in this young man recently?"
"You don't know, this kid has strong wings now, and he told me last time that he wanted to go out and explore the wilderness!!"
"Also, isn't his grandma the beauty of our village? She found a foreign elf as a companion. You can't believe that this elf turned out to be a legendary dragon!!! This time we..."
In order to change the topic of the old man, Allen acted like a bastard in a very unethical way and made fun of the trivial matters in the Bush family. This immediately attracted the attention of the old man and the two dwarfs beside him.
The breeze was blowing gently in this small garden. Perhaps because of Allen's arrival, the old man became a little more talkative and his face became a little flushed. Next to the old man, Bush is honest and simple. Although Linus has been infected with many bad habits, living in the Castle of Thorns these days, he is much more talkative than Bush. A few words of flattery from time to time around the old man can often make the old man look good. There was a bit of satisfaction on his face.
"I really want to see what the Green Lake looks like! And the Green Lake Village, I heard it was built on the mountain, so the scenery shouldn't be bad..."
The old man seemed a little tired and became weak when speaking. When Allen and the others saw this appearance, their tone gradually became lower, not wanting to disturb the old man. When the old man's cloudy eyes slowly closed, the corners of his mouth were still hanging. With a faint smile.
The old man seemed to have had a beautiful dream. In the dream, his body and face were slowly returning to youth, and the scenery around him also changed. It was a wilderness that was mostly gravel Gobi, but at the same time there were scenes of grasslands and trees growing occasionally. .
The old man began to run in the wilderness with vigorous steps. Slowly, more figures appeared around him, including his parents and relatives in his childhood, his loving partners in his youth, and those who accompanied him. A good friend to spend some time with.
Until familiar figures such as Allen, Irene, and Kerr appeared around him, the old man's face was already filled with an unstoppable smile, and his steps became more brisk.
Mansha Wilderness, my hometown, after so many years, your child finally returned to your arms...
Old Philok left this world with a smile in the company of Allen and the others. By the time Allen and the others realized something was wrong, the old man's body had no remaining warmth.
With a sad mood, Allen stayed in Thorn Castle for a long time, accompanying Charles and Roberta to send the old man to the cemetery he had prepared.
There was no grand ceremony at the funeral. Only the old man's apprentices and their family members, as well as the person in charge of the Oak Merchant Group in Castle Thorn, an old elf who was also somewhat old but energetic, saw the old man off with a desolate expression.
"Are you the young man that old guy Ferok is interested in?"
When the old elf saw Allen, he had a somewhat scrutinizing look in his eyes, then he patted Allen's slender elf-like shoulder and asked kindly.
"Teacher Philok taught me a lot, but it's a pity that he passed away before I could repay him."
Allen's heart was very heavy at this time, and he also had a lot of regrets. The old man was a guiding light for Allen in the first half of his life. At the same time, the old man unknowingly used his selfless feedback in exchange for Allen's most valuable experience as a wilderness man. Rare family affection. I don't know since when, Allen has already regarded such an old man as his elder, and has a deep bond with him.
"Everyone will die sooner or later, so please be patient!! Ferok has talked to me about your affairs before. If you need help with anything in the future, you can come to me. My name is Jagos."
The old man comforted Allen, then sighed, and left the cemetery on the Oak Temple site accompanied by two servants.
As old man Ferok's coffin was buried in the soil and returned to dust, Allen and Charles returned home.
For the funeral of the old man, Allen was delayed in the Castle of Thorns for five full days. Now that he had nothing else to do, he was about to say goodbye to Ciel and the others when he was stopped by Ciel.
"Teacher already knew that he wouldn't live long, so he had already arranged his funeral arrangements before you, Chief Allen, came."
"These things were accumulated by the teacher over the years. He said they were all left to our village."
"And Roberta and I, there are 17 goblins in total who will return to the wilderness with you."
"..."
Allen was silent. He never thought that even though the old man had passed away, he had not forgotten to take care of the tribe and himself. Looking at the palm-sized and slightly bulging cloth bag in Charles's hand, Allen felt that there was a 10,000-pound boulder pressing down on his hand, making it impossible for Allen to reach out and take the dimensional bag that originally belonged to the old man. .
"Are you really willing to go back to Green Lake Village with me? You know, life there is not as comfortable as in Castle Thorn, and life may be in danger at any time."
Compared to the wealth left by the old man, Allen was more concerned about whether Ciel and his students and servants, like the old man, were really willing to go back with him.
The old man said that in his early years, he lost the ability to have children because he was a mage's experiment. Therefore, although he had a partner before, there was no direct bloodline left. This is also an important reason why his old man will pay attention to outstanding goblins like Allen and Kerr when he reaches old age.
Although they did not have their own bloodline to reproduce, people like Charles and Roberta were actually another form of continuation of the old man's bloodline! Allen has received too many favors from the elderly. Now facing Ciel and the others, although he is eager for talents with knowledge and expertise like Ciel to join the tribe, he also hopes that Ciel and the others can live a better life.
"We students, who have not come out of the wilderness, naturally know what the wilderness is. The teacher has already asked our opinions when arranging us, and we are also willing to return to the wilderness that originally belonged to us. On this issue Patriarch Allen doesn’t have to worry about us.”
There was a little more sparkle in Charles's eyes. He was the closest person to the old man Ferok, and he knew best what the old man's biggest regret was in his life. After the old man passed away, as his student, he had to take his place no matter what. He went back to the place where he dreamed of.
"Many items in this dimensional bag were sold by the teacher, and some were distributed to us students and servants. In the end, 2 inheritance crystals were left to you, the patriarch."
"One crystal is the heritage crystal of the Hercules, and the other is the heritage crystal of the Shield Warrior."
"For these two crystals, the teacher spent a lot of money to get them from Vice President Jagos."
"..."
Ciel put the dimensional bag in his hand into Allen's hand, and without stopping, he told Allen everything the old man had left for him.
"The two stores in the city, as well as the teacher's residence and the manor outside the city were also transferred to my name by the teacher. From now on, they will become the public property of our clan."
For a time, Allen's net worth skyrocketed, but he did not feel the slightest joy. Instead, there was something heavy in his heart, and something seemed to be spinning in his eyes.
Because of the surprise that the old man left for Allen, Allen's trip was delayed for another two days. Accompanied by Charles, he reorganized the manor and the old man's residence. After a while of cleaning up what should be left and what should not be left, this Just ready to return to my hometown.
"Mr. Charles, please stay in Thorn Castle for the time being. There is something wrong with the supervisor of Chengxi Pasta Restaurant. I need a new supervisor to help take care of the store."
Allen suddenly remembered that the Chengxi Pasta Restaurant had not opened in the past few days because there was no supervisor to take charge of the overall situation. Now that Ciel and his team of capable dwarfs have joined, Allen has realized that he can leave the affairs of Allen's Pasta Restaurant in the west of the city to Ciel to manage.
"Oh well."
Ciel did not refuse, nodded in agreement, and asked curiously.
"Can I ask what happened in the store?"
"Oh, the supervisor of the noodle shop colluded with the bookkeeper to create false accounts and embezzle the store's income, and we found out."
Allen was not afraid of embarrassment and told what Lacey and the others had done one by one, which made Ciel frown.
"To be honest, Chief Allen, there seems to be a big problem with the management of several stores in our tribe. You have given too many store managers too much power, which is why this situation has occurred. I personally suggest that it is best to re- Develop a charter to delineate the authority of each store supervisor.”
The knowledge that Charles learned under the old man Ferok was more focused on management and overall planning. The old man's best appraisal ability was not as good as that of several other students. Although when he left the Oak Merchant Group, Charles was just an insignificant little manager in the middle level of the business group, but for the green field tribe's pasta restaurant, which only had four stores, he could tell at a glance what Allen and the others were currently encountering. problem lies in.
"Ah, you are the teacher in this regard, so let's make a rule!"
Allen also followed the trend, knowing that he lacked the ability to run a store, and there were no talents in this area in the clan. He didn't feel at all that there was anything wrong with Charles making suggestions to him when he first arrived, and nodded. So I agreed with the other party's suggestion.
"When the time comes, after you have drawn up the regulations, you can talk to me about the problems involved."
At this moment, Allen began to show his thirst for knowledge again and spoke to Ciel calmly and seriously.
"good."
Charles smiled softly, his eyes filled with admiration.
Charles and Allen didn't spend much time together. When the old man was still in good health, Charles was still working as an audit supervisor in the business group. When Allen visited the old man Ferok, he also had a relationship with Charles. It was just a few encounters, and there were no deep friendships.
Ciel knew more about Allen from Teacher Ferok. Because the old man looked at Allen, a bugbear, in a different light, that's why Ciel gave up his position in the business group after the old man passed away and obeyed The old man's arrangement brought Roberta and others to join the Allen tribe.
Now it seems that Alan, the leader, at least in terms of learning, is really like what the teacher said, he never feels any shame in being inferior to others.
The two chatted again, and Allen took Charles around several stores in the city. After greeting the remaining three store managers, he began preparations for his return trip.
"I have thought about the suggestion you mentioned before for a long time, and also discussed it with my tribesmen, and I think it is possible to continue cooperation."
The last thing Allen did in the Castle of Thorns was to bring the imprisoned human Wo Lian in front of him and tell him clearly his thoughts on the previous proposal.
"I knew it!!!"
Warlian felt so happy in his heart. Although he was still a prisoner of Allen's men at this time, he still stamped his feet on the ground in excitement.
"Don't worry, Patriarch Allen, our cooperation this time will definitely make money, make a lot of money, make much more money than we do now!!!"
Wo Lian now feels like he is putting everything on the line. In his hometown of the Lion Heart Kingdom, he has a lot of debts waiting for him to repay, otherwise he may not be able to return to his hometown in this life, let alone his relatives in his hometown. It was not easy for him to find a business opportunity, so he naturally tried every means to impress the other party and get the other party to cooperate with him, a poor guy like himself. Now he only has a glib mouth left.
"Since we are talking about cooperation, let me tell you the truth. There are many cooks in my village who are good at cooking, but if you want to persuade them to work with you, you have to rely on yourself. I have no choice!"
The human kingdom is too far away, and Allen doesn't even have a layout for Mansha City in the heart of the wilderness. It's not because he doesn't have this idea, but because the tribe has a natural resistance to traveling far away.
"That's nature, that's nature!"
Wo Lian was full of confidence in persuading people. Didn't he see that he could convince Allen, the bugbear leader, even when he was a prisoner?
"Okay, you clean up. I'm going back tomorrow. You can come with me."
Allen's seemingly casual words made Wo Lian feel uneasy and a little uneasy.
But thinking about the debt he was carrying and the current situation of being alone, Wo Lian gritted his teeth and nodded on the spot and said: "I have nothing to prepare, I can hit the road at any time."
"Well, then you should think more about the contract between us on the way. I hope that when you get to my tribe, you can come up with a perfect contract."
"Okay, no problem!"
