A Community with a Shared Future in a Multidimensional World

However, when the Marquis took out the cigarette he was carrying and was about to take a puff to suppress his shock, a note fell out at the same time he took out the cigarette.

After noticing the note, the Marquis picked it up. This note is the black gold lettering note that is very common in Griffin cigarettes.

However, when he saw the above words, the earl confirmed that this was not some kind of evil, it was just a warning given to him by Krueger and Griffin.

Because, the slogan of the advertising banner in Earl's hand is——

"G&K, we are always by your side."

Looking at this line of writing, the earl's hand holding the note could not stop trembling slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the Marquis tore the note to shreds like a madman. After that, the Marquis did not forget to burn the scraps of the note with a torch.

Afterwards, the Marquis tossed and cried for a long time in the detention center, not knowing whether he was laughing or howling.

However, when everyone thought that the Marquis had gone mad, and even the Marquis's personal butler was already considering contacting the madhouse, the Marquis' torment came to an abrupt end.

Then, as if giving up everything, the Marquis raised his hand and called his butler over.

"...get me a car and go to the Crewe & Griffin store."

When the Marquis arrived at the Krue&G and Griffin store in the capital, he was immediately invited into the third floor of the store.

When he came to the third floor, the Marquis immediately saw UMP45 who had been waiting for a long time, sitting comfortably on the sofa and drinking coffee.

Looking at the girl in front of him who looked much smaller than him, at this moment, Marquis Jelson no longer dared to underestimate her.

Then, noticing that Marquis Jelson was already standing in front of him, UMP45 stood up from his sofa after just the right amount of time to show off his victory and save face for the Marquis.

"Lord Marquis Jelson is here. Please take a seat."

UMP45 made a gesture of invitation to Marquis Jelson, retaining a minimum of respect for Marquis Jelson.

Regarding UMP45's actions, the Marquis Jelson, who was willing to reconcile with him, was finally relieved. So, after nodding to UMP45 with mixed feelings, the Marquis sat on the sofa beside him.

After watching the Marquis sit down, UMP45 asked the Marquis with a smile.

"Master Marquis, do you want tea or coffee?"

"...Miss UMP45, I haven't rested for many days. Is there any milk?"

"40, prepare a piece of milk for Lord Marquis."

After that, UMP40 came up from downstairs with a glass of milk and a snack.

While putting down milk and snacks for the Marquis, UMP40 explained to the Marquis with a smile.

"Master Marquis, drinking milk on an empty stomach is not good for your health~ I suggest you eat some snacks first to prevent the side effects of drinking milk on an empty stomach."

Looking at the smiling UMP40, although the Marquis couldn't figure out whether what UMP40 said was correct or not, this didn't prevent him from showing a smile at this moment.

"Thank you."

However, looking at the milk and snacks in front of him, the Marquis didn't think too much and ate them directly.

After all, there was nothing left to think about, and if the other side really wanted to poison him, there was no need to wait until now.

After that, the Marquis, who did not have the restraint of the nobles in the past, ate the snacks regardless of etiquette, and picked up the cup and drank the milk like a cow, also recovered a little bit.

"Thank you for entertaining Ms. UMP45, I'm here today..."

"Master Marquis, I know why you came, but according to the rules of our Cru & G and Griffin, all the customers who enter the store are customers, and it is not in line with our Griffin's rules to ask customers to beg us. Therefore, here Before that, please read a contract first."

Then, UMP40 who was beside Marquis Jelson handed a piece of paper to Marquis Jelson.

After accepting the contract, Marquis Jelson sighed for a long time, and after he was ready to face his next decision to lose most of his property in order to save his and his family's life, he pulled himself out of his arms. He put on his monocular and began to read the contract.

However, after reading the agreement, Marquis Jelson's desolation at the beginning gradually turned into a slightly trembling hand holding the contract.

Afterwards, Marquis Jelson raised his head excitedly with a complicated expression and asked UMP45.

"Miss UMP45? Is this contract real?"

"Yes, Marquis Jelson, we never cheat on this kind of issue, Marquis, you may not have much time to cooperate with us, otherwise you will know that reputation and customer satisfaction are always at the forefront of Crewe && Gehe Griffin's number one."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Marquis Jelson put on the monocular again, and carefully read the contract again.

Watching the Marquis's brows gradually loosen, UMP45 said to the Marquis with a smile while signaling UMP40 to add another glass of milk to the Marquis.

"Master Marquis, although we have authorized the exclusive agency of cigarettes in the Duchy of Gallia to Earl Celia, countries outside the Duchy of Gallia still have a wide range of cigarette markets. Don't you think that doing business is only in Is it too cramped in the Principality of Gallia? Although this is not an exclusive agency right, this is the first cigarette sales agency signed by our company to outside the Republic of Gallia. A small compensation from the company for the trouble it has caused you recently."

Compared with UMP45's explanation, Marquis obviously believed in the contract in his hand. After confirming the terms of the contract line by line again and again, Marquis Jelson raised his head and asked UMP45 suspiciously.

"Miss UMP45... In this contract, what happened to our previous troubles is not written... Terminate."

Marquis Jelson originally wanted to say how to solve it, but after considering his current situation, he tried his best to think of a word that at least made him appear weaker than "solve" in his opinion.

However, as far as UMP45 is concerned, she actually doesn't care about this bit of word play, and just asked with a smile.

"Master Marquis, did we have any trouble before?"

Looking at UMP45's reaction, the old and cunning Marquis Jelson naturally couldn't possibly get it wrong.

Immediately afterwards, the Marquis spoke excitedly in an octave-high voice.

"No! No trouble! No trouble Ms. UMP45."

And after seeing that Marquis was sensible, UMP45 also agreed with a smile.

"Yes, there is no trouble, Lord Marquis, so are you satisfied with this contract?"

"Satisfied! Satisfied! I will sign now."

Then, Marquis Jelson quickly wrote his name on the two agreements, and pressed his fingerprints according to the instructions of UMP40.

"Then, Lord Marquis, happy cooperation."

Facing the hand extended by UMP45, the Marquis immediately held UMP45's hand humbly.

"Happy cooperation, happy cooperation..."

Chapter 165 Chapter 150

After everything was settled, Marquis Jelson didn't forget to show his sincerity, not only handled the VIP membership business in Griffin, but also bought a lot of goods by the way before leaving Griffin Monopoly.

After sending the Marquis away, Melona, ​​who had seen the whole incident in her eyes, came out from the dark room on the third floor.

"...Miss UMP45, I suddenly realized that I still underestimated you all."

Melona's words are sincere. The best result she ever thought of was to let the Marquis withdraw from the high-level cigarette field under the premise that UMP45 and others compensated the Marquis Jelson to a certain extent, and the two sides no longer confront each other. The issue of Liffin's street massacre in the capital was further pursued. In the end, all parties settled down and pretended that the incident had never happened, which was already the best result.

However, UMP45's response was completely beyond her expectations. The first unexpected part was that she never thought that UMP45 could really force Marquis Jelson to come to the door in person to beg for mercy. When the vicissitudes of life appeared in front of her, Melona even thought about reminding UMP45 not to blackmail the Marquis too much after the Marquis left, but unexpectedly, UMP45 not only did not blackmail the Marquis, but took out Melona's first Two surprises——

That's the contract.

And here, while drinking coffee, UMP45 asked Melona with a smile.

"Why did you say that, Ms. Melona?"

"I originally thought that you would take this opportunity to hit the Marquis hard, but I didn't expect you to give him a contract instead."

Melona walked straight in front of UMP45, went to the sofa where Marquis Jelson had sat just now, and after sitting down, changed a comfortable posture and picked up the contract that Marquis Jelson had just signed and looked at it.

Not long after reading the contract, Melona put down the contract in her hand and continued.

"And, the most unbelievable thing is that your contract is so fair that no one who sees this contract would have imagined that the two of you almost got into trouble with each other a few days ago."

"You're wrong, Ms. Melona, ​​we Griffin and Krue&G are doing business, but we never thought of getting into trouble with the Marquis. Although we occasionally do business with dead people, in most cases Next, we are more willing to do business with living people.”

Regarding UMP45's statement, Melona raised her eyes noncommittally, and then continued to look at the contract.

After repeatedly confirming that there are no trap clauses or ambiguous parts in the contract, Melona still frowned suspiciously and said

"So, you want to tell me that you really haven't prepared any plots?"

Regarding Melona's question, UMP45 just asked Melona back.

"Ms. Melona, ​​is it of any benefit to us to kill the Marquis? Aren't you the one who warned us repeatedly not to kill the Marquis a few days ago?"

"...You're right, but..."

"'But we should at least take the opportunity to knock the Marquis for a fortune', Ms. Melona, ​​have you ever thought that the Marquis has a unique advantage in the business of cigarettes? Rather than taking a piece of meat from him, we actually hope to take advantage of it. Lord Marquis expands our goods sales channels, money can always be earned quickly for our company’s high-quality goods, as long as there are channels.”

Then, UMP45 pointed at Melona who was covered in Griffin merchandise all over her body.

"Also, don't you know the charm of our company's products the most, Ms. Melona? So, as long as there is a convenient channel, we don't care about the 'meat' on the Marquis."

After looking down at the Griffin merchandise on her body, Melona sighed as if she was finally persuaded by UMP45.

"Yes...you are right, Ms. UMP45."

After sending Melona away again, this "farce" finally came to an end.

However, for Melona's last question, in fact, UMP45 just received Xiao Yun's order to do so. As for the explanation to Melona, ​​it was also the rhetoric prepared by Xiao Yun.

And after this question was raised by Melona, ​​UMP45 actually didn't think about it.

"...So, this method of scaring the Marquis was conceived by the alchemist himself?"

Listening to UMP45's routine report repeatedly mentioning the key role played by alchemists in this stage of operations, Xiao Yun was somewhat moved, as if seeing her own child finally able to take charge of her own side. .

"That's right, she also borrowed the optical camouflage from Lightning... I have to admire this guy, she even thought of deliberately leaving free time when counting down, and then taking advantage of the discontinuity of time By further destroying the psychological preparation of the Marquis Jelson, he broke the Marquis's psychological defense, did this guy really arrange the whole plan just relying on the knowledge instilled in her when he left the factory?"

Listening to UMP45 talking about this, Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel a little admiration for the alchemist. The day when 99 suddenly jumped to 78 really played a very critical role in breaking down Marquis Jelson's psychological defense.

"However, Commander, I think you should take the time to pay attention to the alchemist. Although this guy is good at work, her personality is really too weird. How can I describe it... Everyone trusts her, but at least we Few of these people are willing to communicate with alchemists."

Hearing what UMP45 said, a word popped into Xiao Yun's mind——

"Huh?? Workplace bullying??"

After all, Xiao Yun's first job when she was just out of college was because of the stupid X boss in a cheating company who enjoyed this treatment, but later, Xiao Yun reversed it with a recording and went to that company to get all kinds of illegal overtime during the period. Overtime pay plus 3N+1 compensation for illegal dismissal, so the original cheating process has become a good memory.

"...Commander, what are you thinking? How could we, who are so cute, bully the alchemist?"

Faced with UMP45's malicious show of cuteness, Xiao Yun also responded with a joke.

"You really don't need any face to boast about yourself, just open your mouth."

"Crying children have milk to drink~"

Then, Xiao Yun, who was conditional on the keyword of UMP45 plus milk, blurted out without even thinking about it.

"...you have that thing?"
