Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1126: Chapter 397: Arrival at Merlin City, Cao Xing’s Connections

He extended his right hand.

Jas, looking flattered and overwhelmed, immediately reached out to grasp it.

"Lord Cao Xing, how have you been!"

Meanwhile, Davis, watching everything from behind, was utterly bewildered.

What had she just witnessed?

Jas, whom she painstakingly tried to curry favor with, was showing such respect to this Otherworldly Lord!

Who was Jas?

He was the vice president of the Woodpecker Commerce!

In the entire Merlin City, half of the shops were owned by their Woodpecker Commerce.

The other half belonged to Count Winstar!

It could be said that even Count Winstar usually had to show them some respect in business matters.

And now, it appeared that this Otherworldly Lord had an extraordinary status.

This realization brought a trace of fear to Davis’s eyes!

She had just spoken such words to this Otherworldly Lord and even swindled his deposit!

A strong sense of fear instantly filled her heart.

Quickly, the woman reacted.

She hurriedly took out a bag from her backpack, filled to the brim with crowns.

She ran forward and stuffed it into Yaskin’s hand.

Putting on a big smile, she said, "Oh dear~ I didn’t know this lord is acquainted with our President Jas, my apologies for the offense."

"I’m very sorry, here is your deposit back, please accept it."

Yaskin, seeing her change of demeanor, displayed a look of disdain on his face.

He swiftly grabbed the bag back from her hand.

With a taunting expression, he said, "Weren’t you just saying you’d have the City Guard arrest us and rob us of our deposit?"

The woman’s expression changed quickly, and she hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding... it’s all just a misunderstanding!"

Jas, understanding what transpired with just a glance, looked at the woman calmly and inquired, "Did you just disrespect Lord Cao Xing and attempt to forcibly withhold his deposit?"

The woman quickly explained, "No! Absolutely not!"

"President Jas, it really was just a misunderstanding!"

But the nearby Yaskin gave her no face and directly retorted, "It was this woman, we clearly negotiated a price."

"When the Lord arrived, she immediately changed her mind and unilaterally raised the price!"

"And she also swindled us out of our deposit."

Upon hearing Yaskin’s accusation, the woman’s face turned deathly pale.

She tried to defend herself further.

Yet Jas remained unfazed, directly instructing the attendant beside him, "Starting tomorrow, have someone else manage the shops on this street."

"Additionally, blacklist this woman from our commerce, and never hire her again."

The attendant nodded, "Understood."

With a casual demeanor, they made the decision.

At that moment, Davis felt as if the sky had collapsed, sitting down heavily onto the icy ground.

Before this, relying on the status of Woodpecker Commerce, she had used the same tactics to swindle many deposits and offended a lot of people.

But due to the vast influence of Woodpecker Commerce, those people could only swallow their bitterness.

However, once she lost this job, those people would certainly come to cause her trouble.

The thought of future hardships filled her heart with immense fear!

In that moment, she was constantly begging on the ground, pleading for Lord Cao Xing’s forgiveness.

However, Cao Xing completely ignored her.

Everyone else also paid no attention to her, continuing on their way.

As they walked along the road, Jas’s face bore an apologetic expression.

"I apologize, Lord Cao Xing, for letting you encounter such a matter just upon arriving at Merlin City."

Cao Xing smiled and shook his head, "It’s nothing, I didn’t dwell on it."

Jas nodded slowly.

After a pause, he continued to ask, "By the way, does Lord Cao Xing want to purchase shops to venture into the commercial industry of Merlin City?"

Cao Xing did not deny it and directly said, "Yes, I happen to have a batch of weapons I want to sell, originally planning to open an armory."

"But now, I have given up on that idea."

Jas nodded slightly, chuckling lightly, "Actually, Lord Cao Xing might want to give it a try."

"Your territory has the magical creature, the Cloud Yak, there would practically be no competition if you stepped into Merlin City’s commerce."

"You could quickly establish your renown in this city."

Cao Xing glanced at him, remembering that this guy still held a grudge over losing to Hilton last time.

He shook his head and said, "That won’t be necessary, I have already agreed to a long-term cooperation with Hilton."

"Moreover, my place is indeed too far from Merlin City, just the transportation would consume a lot of manpower and resources."

Upon hearing this, Jas naturally understood that it wouldn’t be easy to sow discord between Cao Xing and the Black Lion Commerce.

Sighing, he said, "Hilton truly is lucky."

"To think he found Lord Cao Xing shortly after the Chosen Lords descended and forged a good relationship with you."

Cao Xing shook his head, not continuing on this topic.

"Honorable Jas, although the Cloud Yak business is already in cooperation with the Black Lion Commerce,"

"as I mentioned last time, we still have other opportunities for cooperation."

The merchant Jas’s eyes lit up immediately, "You mean..."

"Take a look at this." Cao Xing said directly.

With that, he took out a pure white, jade-like egg, emitting a faint glow.

Upon seeing the egg, Jas squinted his eyes.

He received it as if it was a treasure, carefully observing it for a while.

In the next moment, Jas’s eyes shone brightly!
