Demon King: Hero, don't run away!-Chapter 412 Unforeseeable Defense

...

...

Sitting in his own office, the Commerce Association President of the Silver Orchid Commerce, Big Pancake Face, was reviewing the latest documents. freёweɓnovel_com

If the business empire he had envisioned hadn’t collapsed, he would already be freely enjoying life instead of being stuck in this cramped room for over ten hours a day, constantly busy.

After a long reorganization, Silver Orchid Commerce had finally stabilized, but there were still mountains of issues to deal with, which had significantly slimmed down Big Pancake Face.

Their scope of business had been significantly reduced but at all costs, they kept the most basic and profitable potions business. Big Pancake Face wanted to use this as a pivot point to leverage the country’s business system.

Unfortunately, ideals are plump, but reality is skinny.

Big Pancake Face originally thought that doing business here would be as smooth as it was in Terun.

Little did he know that every commerce association in Serti was cunning, taking advantage of their instability to desiccate them.

Big Pancake Face was like a fallen girl, surviving on social assistance, encountering men pretending to be innocent virgins everywhere who not only wanted to freeload but also tried to swindle money from him.

Even with precautions, the others’ techniques were too good, simply impossible to defend against.

The usually astute Big Pancake Face had suffered quite a few losses in front of those commerce associations.

After a series of maneuvers, they had stabilized, but the expenses during this period were huge, and it was uncertain how much business needed to be done to earn back the lost money.

To rise again, Silver Orchid Commerce not only had to adapt to the business rhythms of this country but also needed some products that could cause a significant stir in the market, kicking off an exceedingly grand marketing campaign.

And that opportunity was about to come.

Taking out a letter and opening it, Big Pancake Face couldn’t help but smile wearily. If everything mentioned in the letter was true, the problems troubling him could be solved.

This letter had been brought by a talking Nine-Life Cat Demon a few days ago.

It turned out that this unremarkable little cat was actually a member of the S-rank adventure group "Red Blood Rose."

The letter from the captain of the "Red Blood Rose," Gordon, was clear—they had found a miraculous potion in the Goblin Maze. Hearing that their commerce was extremely proficient in potion-making, they wanted to visit and collaborate with him to replicate this potion and make a fortune.

This was a heaven-sent opportunity.

Collaborating with "Red Blood Rose" could instantly make a name for their commerce association in this country.

If they could really develop the potion brought by "Red Blood Rose," they would have their first highly competitive product. They could also use "Red Blood Rose’s" "first collaborative potion" as a gimmick to attract a myriad of fans who had a favorable impression of "Red Blood Rose," spurring massive consumption to fill their increasingly dry wallets.

Big Pancake Face couldn’t miss this opportunity. He told Luo that he was willing to host "Red Blood Rose" to discuss that bottle of potion.

The date for their appointment was tomorrow.

Starting from last night, Big Pancake Face had been dealing with a large volume of documents in his office to free up ample time and energy to host "Red Blood Rose" tomorrow.

Without sleep all night and combined with a day’s effort, Big Pancake Face finally managed all the current documents.

He moved his invisible neck, stored all the documents properly, and took a walk outside.

To welcome this important guest, he had the people clean this cheaply purchased Trade Hall from top to bottom, leaving no dust, and had also refurbished the hall as much as possible within the limited time.

The cage that was originally placed in the center of the courtyard, holding Hake, had now been moved to the basement.

Even if Yang Yu and others were unobservant, they absolutely wouldn’t choose the time of such a dignitary’s visit to intrude; as long as this trade was successful, they could continue to lie low and wait.

Everything orderly, Big Pancake Face returned to his room, planning on having a good sleep when he saw a sinister, twisted dark shadow standing beside his bed.

Upon seeing the twisted dark shadow, Big Pancake Face swiftly closed the door, looked around to ensure no one was there, then cautiously reopened and walked back in, gently shutting the door and locking it from inside.

The twisted dark shadow looked at him, the air felt as if it froze in an instant. Big Pancake Face forced a smile,

"I wonder, Lord, what brings you here this time?"

"By your method, can you really lure her here?" the voice of the shadow was cold and piercing, instantly dropping the room’s temperature by several degrees.

Big Pancake Face said very calmly, "You are too impatient, patience is required. They have rescued our important item, and that item’s brother is in our hands, she won’t abandon her brother and return to Wansheng Country just like that.

And your target definitely has established profound friendships with her and that despicable man. Once one person comes, all the others will follow, and you naturally can trace back to find your target."

The shadow shook, "I don’t mean to doubt you, but we have been waiting for too long."

"I have been waiting much longer than you all, I can’t even wait a moment longer to tear those two people into pieces."

"It’s still uncertain who has waited longer. Besides, do not harm the traitor’s daughter. We still need what’s on her. Random actions might damage the Storage Magic Array on her, and if we cannot find the item then, you will be wholly responsible.

We might even offer you to the Demon Lord."

The shadow’s body enlarged slightly in Big Pancake Face’s room, but he didn’t mind,

"I am only responsible for luring them here, catching her is your job. Don’t forget what I said, if you see that man, tear him to pieces completely, and you can take the woman as you please, but absolutely do not harm my important material for goods."

"I certainly understand the limits."

The shadow responded thus, and Big Pancake Face changed into a new set of clothes, went to his bed, and put on his sleep mask,

"Don’t forget what I told you, I have an important guest arriving tomorrow, don’t expose your tracks and involve us. Tomorrow, take a break for yourselves, sometimes relaxing a bit lets you do your jobs better."

"For us, we truly don’t have the leisure to rest, all of this is to make the Demon Lord descend to the Mortal World sooner."

After speaking, the shadow dispersed on its own in the room, leaving not a single trace.
