The town of Anar is thirty miles away from Tilea City.

The sky is slightly brighter and the sun is rising.

In a tavern called "Fishbone and Knife Shield", two sleepy-eyed waiters were leaning against the glass and yawning. The shopkeeper at the bar was also a little dazed, looking at the ray of sunlight peeking through the door and glowing. Leng. Obviously, getting up so early is painful for both master and servant.

"Uninvited guests" Bai Kang led a few of his men and walked in swaggeringly.

His men dropped the wooden boxes they were carrying on their shoulders with a thump on the floor, startling the two waiters who were confused and woke up.

The shopkeeper has been running the tavern for so many years, so he can naturally see what kind of people like Bai Kang are. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva and secretly cursed why he was so unlucky today. When he just opened the shop, he ran into these gangster mercenaries. Nothing good happens.

"Sir, do you have any advice?" The shopkeeper hurriedly came out of the bar with a shy face.

"Shopkeeper, you have business, do you want to do it or not?" Bai Kang said seriously with a straight face.

"Hey, sir, it depends on what kind of business it is. My store is a small business, and I can't do big business." The shopkeeper said with an apologetic smile.

Bai Kang pointed to the boxes of wine on the ground with his chin, "Here, take a look."

The shopkeeper glanced at Bai Kang suspiciously, knelt down, opened the wooden box and saw that it was filled with unopened Philodi brand red wine. There are several boxes, with high and low specifications, some cheap, and some vintages with good taste. Of course, no matter how high-end the red wine produced in Tyrell City is, it is still not as good as the wine produced in Joffinland in the south.

"Is this...?" The shopkeeper looked at Bai Kang and asked strangely.

"Brothers can't finish what we just robbed, so I'll give it to you in exchange for some Looney Flowers." Bai Kangpi said with a smile.

The shopkeeper's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what his ears heard.

In this world, someone actually dares to rob the Philodi family’s goods?

And it’s near Tilea City?

The shopkeeper couldn't believe there was such a bold person in the world.

"What? You don't believe it?" Bai Kang said lightly.

The shopkeeper had not yet recovered from the shock. He rounded his mouth, nodded or shook his head.

"Open a bottle to try?" Bai Kang asked with drooped eyelids, his expression showing disdain for the shopkeeper's questioning look.

After saying that, Bai Kang randomly selected a bottle of red wine from the box. With a flick of his thumb, the cork flew out along with the mouth of the bottle.

The shopkeeper Na Na took the bottle of red wine with a broken mouth from Bai Kang's hand. With such a pricked mouth, he would definitely not dare to drink it. Unless your lips are made of iron, you can blow into this bottle. But after all, he has been running a tavern for half his life, so he will know if it is genuine when he smells it.

The shopkeeper took a short sniff and knew that this was authentic Tyrell red wine.

"Indeed...it is indeed the wine of the Philodi family." The shopkeeper said hesitantly. He glanced at Bai Kang and the others, his eyes filled with fear.

"These boxes of wine, some are better in vintage and some are average in vintage. I'm too lazy to bargain with you, the shopkeeper, so we'll just calculate the price by the box. What do you think?" Bai Kang asked with a smile.

"How much is one box?" the shopkeeper looked at Bai Kang Xiaoyi and asked. He was afraid that Bai Kang would shout a sky-high price and then forcefully buy and sell. After all, this group of desperadoes even dared to rob the Philodi family's goods, so there was nothing they couldn't do. At this time, the shopkeeper had to curse inwardly that he was unlucky. The Universal Master was really blind. It was a waste of time for him to pray every day.

"Let's see. We suffer a bit. After all, it's in such a hurry. Ten rupees per box? What do you think, shopkeeper?" Bai Kang said, looking at the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the price offered by the other party was not such a preferential treatment. He simply got a big advantage.

Even the cheapest box of wine costs more than ten rupees.

"Huh?" Bai Kang was still waiting for the shopkeeper's reply.

"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper nodded quickly, "I'll open two more bottles to test. If there's no problem, I'll give you the money."

Bai Kang made a "please" gesture.

The shopkeeper gave the two waiters a wink, and they quickly fetched the bottle opener.

The shopkeeper selected a few bottles from other boxes and tested them. Sure enough, the bottles were genuine. There is actually a box of the new high-end treasure "Fu Yu" from the Philodi family.

This box alone is worth hundreds of rupees.

"There are six boxes in total here. I'll get the money for you right now." The shopkeeper was delighted and hurried back to the counter to get the Looney, hoping to complete the transaction immediately. At this time, he probably won't scold Universal World Honored One anymore. He has to praise him, he has to praise him fiercely. This Universal World Honored One has opened his eyes and allowed him to take such a huge advantage.

Bai Kang watched coldly and smiled to himself that everything was going smoothly.

Then the group of people took the sixty runis and left the tavern with satisfaction.

The shopkeeper looked at the leaving figures of several people, and the joy in his brows gradually turned cold, thinking that he would never see these people again in the future.

But what he didn't expect was that Bai Kang and his men came again a few days later and gave him several boxes of Philodi brand red wine at a low price.

The shopkeeper has also heard in the past few days that the Philodi family's goods have been frequently robbed recently. But he didn't expect these robbers to show up in his store so openly. But he didn't care much about who robbed whom. As long as he has money to earn, it doesn't matter. As long as Bai Kang delivers the goods, he can take whatever he wants. After all, if you don’t earn money, you will live in poverty for the rest of your life.

As the old saying goes, once Bai Kang comes, he becomes familiar with the shopkeeper.

After a drunken encounter, Bai Kang revealed to the shopkeeper that his group was actually hired by Earl Oneyin to come to Tilea City to rob the Philodi family's goods.

After saying this, Bai Kang also told the shopkeeper to keep the matter confidential.

The words spoken in the tavern are like flies spreading their joy, darting wherever they want without being able to stop them.

Moreover, Alvin said at the time that he wanted to diversify his investments and develop more flowers, so the scene just now did not just happen in the "Fishbone and Knife Shield" tavern. Several taverns in several towns near Tilea City received low-priced Philodi red wine.

Since then, rumors have started, and everyone has a vague idea of ​​what role Count Oneyin played in this "big move". Of course, this is the role assigned to him by Alvin. Count Oneyin himself is still in the city of Zantz, waiting foolishly for when Alvin will pledge his allegiance to him.

-------------------------------------------------- -------------

Tyrell City.

Philodi Manor.

The noisy conference room was already full of people.

In addition to people from the Philodi family, many side branches also came.

From this point of view, the strength of the Mengqi mercenary group is still certain.

After all, there are so many people coming to Philodi Mansion to complain, which shows how serious the losses of these wealthy businessmen have been recently.

"What can I do? It's only been seven or eight days, and I've already been robbed of dozens of boxes of goods." A wealthy businessman from the sidelines said with a bitter look on his face.

"Tch, I've lost one or two hundred boxes." This person's tone sounded richer than the one just now, with a bit of disdain in his tone. This person should be from Philodi's family. Of course, the most important thing in his tone was the gritted hatred, the hatred for this group of robbers with unknown origins.

"Oh, the people who look after my home and care for my home are really no match for those gangsters. They are dead and injured. They have been replaced three times. I am stunned that even a batch of goods has not been delivered to me. I've been out before." Another wealthy businessman sighed with a wry smile.

"That's right. I don't know where the gangs came from. They don't know where they came from. They rob our goods when they see them." Someone echoed.

"The most disgusting thing is that they robbed the goods and sold them at low prices, which pushed our prices down. They sold them for less than the cost price, which is too much..."

"Yes, there are a lot fewer orders now. I heard that many customers are vying to grab the goods from those gangsters, and the prices are really so low that they can't even survive..."

"It's not an option if this continues, Big Brother, you have to come up with an idea." At this time, someone in the crowd said this.

"Yes..." Upon hearing this, everyone agreed.

This big brother refers to McNee Philodi, who has been sitting in the main seat and has not spoken.

From the beginning, Old Wine Barrel had been playing with the hourglass cup in his hand with a frown on his face, and said nothing to everyone's discussion. This hourglass cup is a new creation recently launched by the Philodi family, specially used for drinking "Fuyu". After pouring "Fuyu" into the cup, the ice stone in the base will trigger the enchantment and quickly freeze the red wine into a pointed upward cone shape. It turns out that there is a mystery hidden in this cup, which contains a conical glass mold. When the freeze is formed, you can turn the glass mold, just like turning over an hourglass, flip the frozen red wine over, and wait for it to melt immediately when heated. The falling drops of "Fuyu" are said to taste wonderful.

Seeing that the people at this table gradually became quiet, McNee coughed slightly, which put an end to these meaningless complaints.

As the leader of the clan, Lao Jiugong's goods must have been robbed the most. So he knows better than anyone else what everyone just said. If everyone knew that thousands of boxes of red wine had been robbed at Old Wine Barrel, they would probably be so frightened that they fell off their chairs.

And the most important thing is that the "Shock Salamander" mercenary group under McNee went out several times, but did not make any gains. Each time, they were easily dodged by the gangsters.

So, when it comes to feeling depressed, no one can compare to Old Barrel McNee.

"Have you found out who is causing the trouble?" McNee asked sharply. His cheeks are biased, which may cause the space inside his mouth to be relatively large, so when he speaks, it's like he has a ball of cotton in his mouth on each side. He is low and vague, but he has the flavor of a big brother.

He was not asking the businessmen at the table, but the two sons behind him.

The eldest son Rusty took a step forward, walked out of the shadows, and replied with a gloomy face: "It should be the person arranged by Oneyin."

His words seemed to be in response to his father's question, but his voice was just enough to reach every corner of the conference room.

"Are you sure?" McNee leaned his head towards Rusty, but did not turn his face.

Rusty whispered something into his father's ear.

McNee nodded after hearing this.

"It seems that Oneyin's soft-footed shrimp has taken action against us." McNee looked at the people on the table and said calmly.

In fact, it wasn't just Lao Jiugong who found out the news, some wealthy businessmen also found out. It's just that only McNee is qualified to say this.

Because once these words are spoken, it is tantamount to declaring war with the down-and-out nobles in Zantz City.

"Okay..." This time it exploded.
