Chapter 607 What's the point of raising you? It's better to raise a Magikarp!
At the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, the usually pampered executives and directors were already in chaos.
"It's over. I heard from the guards who escaped that the central city area can no longer be defended. The enemy will attack us soon!"
"Didn't Captain Connor personally lead the guard team to garrison the central city? Did he lose too? He is the strongest captain of the guard team!"
"Damn it, what is the Guard Team for? They have been established for so many years, spent so much money, and employed so many people, but they are defeated so quickly. They are simply a bunch of rubbish!"
For a moment, the hall was filled with all kinds of complaints and curses.
Only a few directors remained calm and did not speak, including Director Locke and Director Gavin who quietly approached him.
"Director Locke, you don't seem to be in a hurry at all." Gavin said in a low voice.
Locke glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "What's the use of being anxious? If I can scold the enemy away, my voice will definitely be louder than theirs."
"The problem is that no matter how much we say here, we can't change the situation, so why waste our breath?"
When Gavin heard this, he nodded in agreement, then looked at Locke suspiciously:
"Although what you said makes some sense, I still think that you have found a way out for yourself, so you are so fearless."
Locke's heart sank when he heard this. When did this guy's eyes become so sharp?
He tried to calm his slightly fluctuating emotions and said as if nothing had happened:
"What retreat? As directors, we and the Chamber of Commerce are in a relationship of mutual benefit and mutual loss. How can there be any retreat? You don't think that Viscount Ryan will let us off easily, do you?"
"Why not? Didn't you work with him before? He screwed me so badly. He couldn't have the power he has now without our help back then." Gavin said confidently.
Hearing Gavin taking the credit for Ryan's rise, Locke laughed angrily: "No, you're pretty proud, aren't you?"
"If your Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce had not been suppressing our Yaojin Chamber of Commerce, causing the factional struggle to become increasingly fierce, Ryan would not have had the opportunity to rise!"
"You and I are both sinners of the Chamber of Commerce to some extent. How dare you take credit for yourself?"
Gavin argued, "When did I take credit for myself? I just thought you had a secret deal with Ryan before, and maybe you'll do it again this time."
"Besides, you and I both followed the orders of the two presidents. According to what you said, aren't the two presidents the culprits?"
Locke snorted coldly when he heard this: "Humph, you are still as good at sophistry as before. I am too lazy to argue with you."
"No, we've been together for so many years, we should have some feelings for each other. If you really have a way out, take me with you." Gavin said with a wry smile.
Locke said expressionlessly: "I've said it before, I have no way out. If you are really afraid of death, you can surrender to Viscount Ryan."
"Perhaps he will spare your life out of mercy because you once gave him a different colored Gardevoir."
Seeing that Locke was still teasing him, Gavin simply stopped hiding his intentions and said directly:
"Okay, stop pretending. President Morgan asked me to come to you. You must have a way out. Take me with you, or I will spread your story."
Locke's expression froze when he heard this, and then he pretended to be confused and said, "I don't understand what you are saying. I have to go and complete the task assigned by President Kro."
After saying that, Locke turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Gavin hurried forward and grabbed Locke's arm, whispering:
"You don't think I'm lying to you, do you? Don't you think that if I didn't get the instructions from President Morgan, why would I think of looking for you?"
When Locke heard this, he immediately stopped trying to shake Gavin off.
He thought about it carefully and realized that Gavin was right!
With Gavin's brain, it was impossible for him to guess that he had a way out. It was most likely that he got the hint from President Morgan.
President Kro also said that their little tricks could not be hidden from President Morgan at all, and as long as they did not cross the bottom line, President Morgan would acquiesce in their actions.
The Yaojin Chamber of Commerce also has to pay a corresponding price. For example, President Kro cannot surrender at will. After the Chamber of Commerce wins, the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce needs to give up some of its interests.
The hope of the Chamber of Commerce winning is extremely slim now, so it is normal for President Morgan to want to change the conditions.
Thinking of this, Locke turned to Gavin and asked, "Did you really get instructions from President Morgan? What did he tell you?"
Gavin replied: "The president said that if I want to save my life and the family heritage, I should come to you and you will help me."
"And then?" Locke asked, frowning.
"That's all, he just said this much, so I asked you if you have any way out." Gavin said expectantly.
Locke looked at Gavin and felt that Gavin's expression did not seem fake, and he could not make up such a coherent lie.
So Locke glanced around, confirmed that no one noticed them, and dragged Gavin to a corner and said:
"I do have a way out, and it was President Kro who found it himself."
When Gavin heard this, his eyes widened and his voice became louder:
"Ah? President Kro is not going to lead the surrender?"
"Keep your voice down! Are you afraid that others can't hear you?" Locke said unhappily.
"Who said President Kro wanted to surrender? He just wanted the family to continue. Isn't that what President Morgan did? Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Robin to Connor in the name of punishment."
Gavin looked puzzled and asked, "What do you mean? Robin is related to President Morgan, but what does it have to do with Connor?"
Locke saw Gavin's face full of confusion and couldn't help but sigh:
"You should be thankful that your family is also related to President Morgan, otherwise you would die without knowing how you died."
"How do you know that President Morgan and I are relatives?" Gavin asked in surprise.
Locke said helplessly: "In the entire Chamber of Commerce, from the shop assistants to us directors, everyone knows that you and President Morgan are related. Only you think you have hidden it well."
"You don't really think you became a director by your own intelligence and talent, do you? If it weren't for President Morgan's care for you, you would never have become a director in your lifetime with your ability!"
Facing Locke's disdainful gaze, Gavin said in disbelief: "So you guys have been laughing at me all along?"
Since joining the Chamber of Commerce, he has been walking on thin ice all these years, fearing that his relationship with President Morgan would be exposed and would have a negative impact on President Morgan's reputation.
Who would have thought that everyone in the Chamber of Commerce knew about it, but he was the only one who was kept in the dark. He was so happy that he thought he was a business genius and was easily appointed as a director.
It turns out that in the eyes of others, he has always been a person with connections. Then what are the points of his efforts over the years?
Well, although he didn't seem to have tried very hard, the feeling of being treated like a clown made him feel very uncomfortable.
Just when Gavin was doubting his life, Locke's voice came to his ears:
"We dare not treat you as a joke. After all, you are President Morgan's most trusted confidant."
Locke curled his lips, and then said seriously: "Based on this alone, you are better than us directors."
"It's not hard to tell from the fact that President Morgan asked you to come to me that he values the relationship between you two very much."
"You should be happy to have such a great man as your backer. Why are you pretending to be sad?"
Gavin's eyes lit up: "That's right, it's not a bad thing that I have connections, you can't go through the back door!" Locke couldn't bear to see Gavin's smug look, so he deliberately hit him:
"It's a pity that you will no longer have this relationship. The two presidents will live and die with the Chamber of Commerce. This is also the condition for President Morgan to acquiesce in our search for a way out."
Gavin's smile froze on his face for a moment, and then he said in a complicated tone:
"President Morgan, why do you have to do this? Even nobles live in disgrace. We are just businessmen. Why do we have to go to such lengths?"
"Don't you know President Morgan? He values the Business Association more than his own life. How could he give it up so easily? Giving you relatives and families an extra way out is already his greatest concession."
Locke looked up at the reception room on the second floor and muttered to himself.
Gavin clenched his fists and said, "He knows that the business association is doomed, so he asked me to come to you."
"As for Robin, I'm sure Captain Connor has a way out."
Locke nodded slightly: "You still have some brains. According to our analysis of Viscount Ryan, he has always valued talents."
"And Connor believes that strength is supreme. As long as Viscount Ryan defeats him, Connor is likely to surrender, and Robin will then be able to join Viscount Ryan's army."
Gavin nodded in understanding, then asked Locke curiously, "What's your way out here?"

"Do you really want to know? Once you take this path, there's no turning back!" Locke stared into Gavin's eyes.
Gavin smiled bitterly and said, "Do I have any other choice? I can't let President Morgan's good intentions go to waste."
Locke observed Gavin for a moment, and after confirming that Gavin had no other thoughts, he leaned over and whispered:
"In that case, I will tell you the complete plan, President Kro's son."
Gavin listened to Locke's plan and the expression on his face was wonderful.
When Locke finished talking about the plan, Gavin couldn't help but say:
"You are actually going to betray the Chamber of Commerce and arrest the two presidents?"
"Are you sure this is a plan that the two presidents have tacitly agreed to? Are you lying to me?"
Facing Gavin's question, Locke responded calmly:
"Why would I lie to you? Is there anything about you that is worth my deceiving? If President Morgan hadn't asked you to come to me, I wouldn't even bother to talk to you."
Gavin looked at the disdainful expression on Locke's face, and instead of feeling angry, he felt a lot more at ease.
Yes, yes, it’s this tone and disgusted expression. It seems that what Locke said is true.
But Gavin still felt something was wrong: "Even if the two presidents acquiesce, this plan will be difficult to implement. Let alone the few priests who stayed at the headquarters, we can't even deal with the guards."
Locke said confidently: "Don't worry about the guards. We have our accomplices among them, and the priests will be sent away by President Kro."
Gavin's mouth twitched slightly: "In other words, President Kro, as a father, deliberately sent away all the defensive forces just to let his son catch him. What kind of thing is this!"
"What do you know? Only by capturing the two guild leaders can Master Andy leave a deep impression on Viscount Ryan."
"Instead of letting the two presidents be buried with the Chamber of Commerce, it is better to let them survive as captives," Locke explained.
Gavin thought for a moment, made up his mind and said, "Okay, when do we start?"
"Don't be in a hurry. Let's wait until the Tyrant and the others leave the headquarters." Locke said in a flat tone.
"They are the last few top fighters of the Chamber of Commerce. How could they just leave the headquarters so easily?" Gavin said worriedly.
Locke crossed his arms and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry too much. President Kro has his own plans."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure hurriedly walked into the hall and went straight to the reception room on the second floor.
When the supervisors and directors in the hall saw this figure, they immediately surrounded him and shouted at once:
"Captain Will? Why did you come back?"
"You rubbish! How dare you come back?"
"What's going on in the Central City area? When will the enemy attack?"
Will was already upset, and when he heard the noisy noises, his anger instantly surged up.
He shouted angrily, "Shut up, all of you. I have important information to report to the two presidents. If you delay, none of you will be held responsible!"
"Get out of here now! Do you really want my sea slug to ask you to leave?"
Seeing that Will was really going to give an order to the Sea Slug, the supervisors and directors were forced to make way.
Will didn't stay for long, and quickly went up to the second floor and walked into the reception room.
Only after seeing Will walk into the reception room did the merchants in the hall dare to scold Will.
Locke ignored these timid businessmen and looked at the door of the reception room and said:
"The time has come. The worshippers will leave soon."
"How do you know?" Gavin asked with inquiring eyes.
Locke said casually: "Because I have a brain."
"I have it too, how come I didn't know?" Gavin scratched his head and said.
Locke: “Not necessarily.”
Gavin: "Are you saying that even if I have a brain, I may not know the answer?"
Locke: “No, I mean you don’t necessarily have a brain.”
Gavin: “.”

"Kacha!"
Another exquisite teacup fell to the ground. This was the third cup that Kro had broken in two days. This showed that the situation of the Chamber of Commerce was becoming increasingly critical.
"Waste! You are a bunch of waste!" Kro's roar echoed in the reception room.
"It's been less than two days and the enemy is almost reaching our headquarters. Those who know you are guards, but those who don't think you are Magikarp!"
"No, you are not even worthy of being Magikarp! Even if there are hundreds of Magikarp, the enemy can't catch them so quickly!"
"What's the point of raising you guys? I might as well raise Magikarp! We'll lose anyway, but at least they cost less money!"
"Why don't you say anything? What's your excuse this time?"
"Ah? Speak!" (End of this chapter)
