After her identity was exposed, she began to chase her husband to the crematorium

"Humph!"

The three of them snorted in unison, then turned around and stopped looking at him.

292. The Skatu family is full of flaws

　Originally, Jingchen really wanted to talk about something, but when he mentioned Lux, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and the uneasiness rising in his heart for unknown reasons, he decided to go to this family first to check out the situation.

By the way, he took out a magic scroll from his collection that was no longer useful to him, but was still a good thing, and planned to take it to the Skartu family group to auction it, as if it would increase their performance.

If something he finds useless is on the market, it will be an out-of-print scroll, which he got when he was raiding near the magic city earlier.

So someone in the mirror, escorted by the silent gaze of the harem, opened the portal again and walked out with them.

It seems that except for Ke'er, the other two are not used to staying in there all the time. After all, living alone in such a vast space is quite stressful.

Of course, the most important thing is that they don't know how to open the portal and leave this place. Even Jingchen doesn't know how to give them a copy of his portal so that they can enter and exit this place freely.

After everyone left the portal, they went about their own business, and Jing Chen also left the Magic Academy without stopping.

Yes, that's right, even if he returns to the academy, he will still leave here as soon as possible, so your attempt to find him in the academy is simply wishful thinking.

The distance between cities does not exist for Jingchen. As long as he wants to rush on his way, it will only be a matter of time before he reaches the Skartu family.

Even though he has deliberately restrained his magical aura, the overly powerful magical aura still makes those living in the Skatu family be more vigilant.

The leader of the Hel Cult was processing official documents. These documents were all forced to be signed after the last consultation with the market manager of the Aston family. And she knew in her heart that when she signed these words, it was equivalent to He mortgaged half of his net worth to others, and from now on he must obey all the arrangements of the Aston family. The Scattu family will do whatever they ask.

Not only can there be no complaints at all, but even after the business has achieved results, it has to pay 70.00% dividends to others, leaving only 30.00% for itself.

The worst thing is that in addition to the daily expenses of a family, the remaining 30.00% includes the alliance's franchise fee and various taxes.

The Alliance doesn't pay attention to these families whose business has not improved at all, but even so, they still want to exploit them crazily.

The leader of Hel couldn't tell the story of his suffering. Later he realized that he had simply inherited a mess, but on the contrary, the people of the original Skatu family who had been buried underground were completely relieved.

Various agreements require signing, which is already quite a headache. At this time, another person with such a powerful magical aura has been killed. Could it be that he is from the alliance again?

The leader did not dare to act rashly, but opened the curtains of his room and stared at the young man standing in front of the door below.

Just one glance and she was stunned.

Jingchen?Why is he here?

The leader could naturally see the horror of this young man from the memories he had stolen from others. It was this young man who first broke into the Skatu family alone, dismantled the most iconic clock, and even dismantled it. The old patriarch was so frightened that he almost paralyzed himself, and then he showed those genius-like performances in Pei Lei's memory.

Nowadays, many people in the city are extremely afraid of this young man. Naturally, the Hull Sect is not a stubborn church.

Especially now that the leader can't tell what kind of magician Jingchen is...

"Master!"

The door of the office behind him was suddenly pushed open, and the substitute of the old patriarch walked in.

"A young boy came outside and said he wanted to do business with us. How should we deal with it now?"

The leader gritted his teeth and closed the curtain.

"What else can we do? Go down and see him."

"But......"

The leader was the first to say, "By the way, ask someone to contact the Aston family to see if they are really taking care of things. If the owner doesn't care about his dog, then death will definitely not do him any good."

"I see......"

The substitute of the old patriarch also sighed.

In fact, he wanted to say something just now, although there is no benefit, there is absolutely no harm.

The Skartu family is simply not worth mentioning to the behemoth of the Aston family, and they will die like dogs.

But even so, they still honestly sent a request for help to Aston's family.

Jingchen, who was outside the door, certainly didn't know what he would face next, but he felt in a good mood.

I met four beauties one after another in the morning, and the Skartu family was even more important. Who wouldn't be tempted?

But unfortunately, when the door was opened, in addition to the old patriarch, there was also a strange woman he had never seen before.

Jing Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly after coming to his senses, and then asked with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, clan leader. How are you doing lately?"

The "Clan Leader" also smiled and said: "It's nothing serious anymore, but what's the matter with Young Master Jing's visit today?"

Jingchen also lowered his voice and said: "Of course I have business and want to talk to you. I went out a few days ago and got some good goods. I guarantee that this is the only one in the entire South Continent. If it is placed in your family auction house, it should be able to Sell ​​it at a good price and everything about the share is easy to negotiate.”

Speaking of the auction, the old patriarch suddenly felt bitter in his heart, because he didn't know how to answer, so he could only secretly look at the leader aside.

The leader also said with a smile: "Master Jing has not been a guest at our house for so long. You must not know some things. Our family is no longer in the auction house business and has switched to tea processing business, so if you want If it's an auction, the young master can just go to the only auction house in the city."

"No more auction business?"

Jing Chen was stunned at first, and then asked: "This lady looks very unfamiliar. I have never seen her before."

The leader soon said: "My name is Joanna Skatus, and I am the wife of the second manager of the Skatus family. Now my husband is away doing business, and the old patriarch and I are taking care of the family affairs. "

And this sentence also triggered Jing Chen's third doubt so far.

The first doubt, and also the biggest doubt, is why the magic aura in the two people in front of them is not of the fire attribute, but has become other attributes.

He had fought against the old patriarch, so he naturally knew the other party's magical aura. The person in front of him was not the old patriarch at all.

Even under the strengthening of divine power, in Jing Chen's sight, the face of the old patriarch was even a little blurred at this time, giving people a rather unreal feeling.

The second is the two biggest doubts in the leader's words. Now the person who talks about the family should still be Lux, and Lux ​​is also doing the daily work of welcoming guests.

When he thought of this, Jing Chen immediately restrained his casualness, but did not show it on his face...

293. Temptation

Jingchen did not expose them to their faces, but continued to say with a smile: "In that case, forget about the business. There is one more thing I want to do when I come here this time. I want to meet Lux and take care of your business. Since you are now They have already started selling tea, and I happen to know a little about tea tasting, so I might as well try the tea sold by the Skatu family."

"I'll buy some back if it suits me."

Qiao Na then said: "Lacus is not here right now. Didn't I say before that the second manager went out to discuss business, so naturally Lacus went out with him."

But soon she discovered the danger of Jingchen's words. First, she showed that her first purpose was to meet Lacus, and then her second purpose was to discuss business after meeting Lacus. Now that Lacus is not here, you can always do business. You have to do it, you won't even have to drive away the customer, let alone a customer from the leading family.

Jingchen is very skilled in setting traps for others. To be honest, the leader would definitely not be able to refuse this kind of talk, unless he is really thick-skinned.

But alas, they are not particularly shameless people.

Then you can only suffer the loss of being dumb.

"If you want to buy tea, just come in, Master. However, the house has changed some furniture and had a major cleaning a few days ago, so it looks a bit messy. Master, please don't dislike it."

"fine."

With that said, Jingchen followed the two of them and walked into the Skatu family again.

It is worth mentioning that the Scato family's mansion was designed and built based on the standards of the auction house, and the place where family members live is just above the auction house. The first floor is a large auction room, even in size. It is larger than the lobby on the first floor of the Jing family mansion. It is decorated like a classical concert hall, a large performance stage with many chairs regularly distributed underneath.

How glorious it was in the past, it is so depressed now. When Jing Chen came to this place again, he not only lamented the decline of the Skartu family, but also the auction house that used to be overcrowded at all times, but now there is no one left.

There was even a lot of dust visible on some of the seats, obviously this place hadn't been open for a long time.

"Our tea roasting factory is placed elsewhere, and the family hall is used as a packaging factory. Sir, please come with me to the backstage to see the tea products."

Qiao Na said and made an inviting gesture towards Jing Chen.

Jingchen nodded, lifted the curtain and walked into the backstage of the auction room.

The backstage, which was originally responsible for delivering goods to bidders and auction bidders, has now been cleared of tea and other hospitality facilities. What remains are only some machines for packaging tea, and piles on the ground. Trash-like tea.

In fact, Jingchen could tell at just one glance that the tea in front of him was not of good quality at all, and was even low-end.

So even though the tea leaves almost filled the reception room backstage, the fragrance of the tea leaves was still difficult to fill the entire room.

The sharp-eyed Jingchen even saw prices marked on some of the packaged tea leaves.

The prices are divided into many ranges, and the most expensive set can be sold for one thousand gold coins per pack.

Although tea is indeed sold at a high price in the Magic City because there is no production, it is basically only sold to wealthy people, just like the sugar in the Magic City.

But this does not mean that buyers are fools. Who would spend a thousand gold coins to buy tea that has no tea fragrance at all?

Jingchen was not optimistic about the transformation chosen by the Skatu family, so he said directly: "Madam, what kind of tea are these? The fragrance doesn't seem to be particularly outstanding when I smell it."

When it came to varieties, the leader, who was completely ignorant, didn't know how to answer. He could only deduce: "These are all discussed between Lux and the boss outside, and we haven't asked her, so I can't answer the young master's question. .”

You can use Lux to get away with it, right?

Jingchen knew this trick of pretending to be stupid, but it was inevitable to make complaints.

"With all due respect, madam, although some varieties of tea have no obvious aroma, their soup color and taste are excellent, but these teas can be judged just by their appearance."

"Generally speaking, tea leaves with a good taste and Tibetan aroma will appear slightly curled after being stir-fried and spread out in hot water. However, the tea leaves in your family are now in the state of straight leaves, indicating that they are new shoots, and the new shoots taste bitter. , the taste is astringent, but the aroma is more intense.”

"The teas sold by your Skatu family are not in line with my knowledge at all, and the prices are unreasonable. The most expensive one costs one thousand gold coins, and the cheapest one costs two hundred gold coins. This kind of price is not available in the market. Even if it is aimed at the high-end market, it has no impact.”

I have to say that Jing Chen's words directly made Qiao Na look bitter. They were just killers, who knew these insignificant things.

She didn't even know how to answer. If the topic was transferred to Lacus at this time, Jingchen would definitely say, "Didn't you say that now that Lacus is away, you and the old patriarch will manage the family affairs together?" You don’t even know about the family business?”

And since Qiao Na arrived, the old patriarch has been standing next to her like a servant, seeming to look at this woman's face every time he speaks, which explains a lot of problems.

Jing Chen wanted to continue testing to see what other flaws these two people could reveal.

But then, a magnetic male voice came from the backstage door.

"This business of the Skatu family is under the instruction of my Aston family. Just now I heard that Mr. Jing seems to have opinions on our business. These two are just managing the family's internal affairs and are not involved in the business. If you If you have any dissatisfaction, feel free to tell me."

After hearing the sound, Jingchen quickly looked towards the door with a slightly confused look, and saw an unfamiliar face.

This man was wearing a neat and capable suit, looking like a manager, and the majesty expressed in his words gave people the feeling of a powerful person.

The person in front of me must have a lot of background.

Qiao Na and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the Aston family show up. If Jing Chen really asked, they didn't know what would happen.

"A member of the Aston family?" Jing Chen wondered.

As one of the core member families of the alliance, the Aston Martin family is mainly responsible for the market management and monitoring of the entire Magic City. It can be said that within the jurisdiction of Magic City, no matter how borderland you open a store, you must first Obtain an operating license from them.

And the monthly market tax for each shop is also paid directly into the pockets of these people.

They are also one of the biggest enemies when the Jing family relocates this time.

When he thought of this, Jing Chen didn't have a good look on the person in front of him.

He is just a dog of the alliance, what kind of good looks can he give to such a person.

What's more, the other party has a murderous aura almost as soon as he comes up. It seems that as soon as he opens his mouth to express his dissatisfaction, the other party will take action the next moment.

And the person in front of him does have the ability to challenge him.

294. The Wicked Have Their Own Grinding

Naturally, Warren would not give Jing Chen any good looks, but he looked down upon others from the beginning.

And he directly said: "How do the people in the Jing family teach children that they don't know how to say hello to adults when they see them? If you call someone from the Aston family that, is it possible that you don't even know who I am?"

Jing Chen said with a natural expression: "I'm sorry, I really don't know who you are."

Warren said: "It's no wonder that your Jing family has been targeted. Just looking at your attitude, no family will take care of you in the future."

Jing Chen smiled and said, "I won't bother you with that, so who are you? I'm discussing business with people from the Skatu family. What does it have to do with you?"

Seeing that the two sides were full of gunpowder, Qiaona just wanted to be a good person at this time. Moreover, she had saved up for many years this time and finally gained a firm foothold in the Magic City. If the two of them really fight in the Skatu family at this time, I am afraid that It will cause devastating damage to the buildings in this place.

With the family's current funds and the need to feed so many people, it is really too much.

So Qiao Na took advantage of the gap between the two of them talking and said: "Mr. Mirror, this is the third steward of the Aston Martin family, Warren Aston Martin, who mainly contacts with merchants like us in the market. You are also running a family, how come you don’t know about this lord?”
