Lord God Investigator
Chapter 158 The Threat of the Shadow Thief
Being exposed by the president of the Shadow Thieves Guild in person, Luo Feng pretended to be innocent: "Mr. Bloodhead, I don't understand what you are talking about at all. I am just an ordinary artist and I don't deserve your praise."
Anyway, the Harper Alliance has escaped from Amn, and even if the Shadow Thieves Guild guesses something, there is no definite evidence. Besides, even if the testimony of a group of thieves is published in public, it will be regarded as rumors and stir up trouble.
God knows if this guy is trying to deceive himself, Luo Feng will not admit it.
Renoir-Bloodhead didn't take it seriously and smiled: "I can understand your caution, but I wouldn't admit anything. It doesn't matter if you don't mention it, in fact, I have long seen that group of people as an eyesore. , I want to drive them away but I can’t find a good way, so I would like to thank you for your generous action.”
"I still don't understand you. Are you speaking the common language of Faeren?"
"Alright alright."
The Shadow Thieves Guild Leader shrugged helplessly and stopped mentioning this matter. As a senior criminal, he understood the rules of this industry, so he could only change the topic and said: "Now, the Bradero Troupe and the Shadow Thieves Guild have become neighbors. The two of us have similar philosophies on how to deal with people and the world, so we can get closer. I think the Bradlow Theater Company and the Shadow Thieves Guild can cooperate in business in the future."
"You should have told me earlier."
Luo Feng understood this time and said with a smile: "Business cooperation is mutually beneficial and win-win. This is a good thing. Even if you don't deign to come to visit, I will take the initiative to come to you to seek cooperation."
Seeing that Bredlow was so wise, the Shadow Thief Guild President smiled and nodded: "Mr. Bredlow is indeed a smart man. I believe that the cooperation between us will be very pleasant."
"Then, I would like to ask Mr. Bloodhead, what are the specific regulations of our cooperation?"
"You are an artist. An artist's job is to create wonderful plays. Minor chores such as ticket sales can be left to the Shadow Thieves Guild. We will sell all the tickets sold by the theater group every day at a price of 10 gold coins each. Pack it up."
Reynold Bloodhead spoke eloquently: "We will not get involved in the luxury private rooms sold to nobles, nor will we touch the theater troupe's advertising revenue. It will not have any impact on your troupe, and it can even increase the troupe's income. After all, There is no profit from your gift tickets. If you transfer the gifts to the Shadow Thieves Guild, you can earn at least ten thousand gold per day."
The cooperation plan of the Shadow Thieves Guild seems to be quite cost-effective. The troupe's income has increased instead of falling, and a cooperative relationship has been established. With the protection of the Shadow Thieves Guild, the troupe also has a great security guarantee and intelligence source in Amn.
"Sorry, we cannot accept this plan." Luo Feng shook his head and said: "Our plan is that after the new theater is built, the theater troupe's ticket prices will be further reduced, and the number of lottery tickets will be greatly increased. And I hope that the theater will The Thieves Guild should not be interested in ticket sales, so that more ordinary citizens can enjoy our troupe's plays, instead of driving up ticket prices and blocking civilian audiences from the theater door."
The boss of the Shadow Thieves Guild's face sank, and his killing intent was released. Only then did he lose his disguise, showing the true temperament of a gangster overlord.
"Mr. Bredlow, my proposal is already very sincere. Any boss of any chamber of commerce in the city who can get such a cooperation charter will smile from ear to ear."
He said coldly: "I made a concession after seeing that you made an extraordinary move and expelled a group of people we all disliked from Amn, and provided you with a win-win agreement. Please don't make the mistake of becoming a Being an enemy of the Shadow Thieves Guild is not an easy thing to do.”
"Oh, are you as uncomfortable as the mysterious forces that have been at war with you recently?"
Luo Feng also sneered: "Mr. Bloodhead, I would like to advise you that our pursuits are different. It is the basic principle of the theater to allow as many people as possible to attend the theater. You can definitely follow us in the traditional field of Shadow Thieves." Build partnerships instead of making new enemies when the guild already has big enemies.”
The shadow thief boss was furious when he was exposed. He refrained from getting angry immediately and asked: "Then tell me what your so-called 'traditional field' cooperation is all about."
"Things like smuggling and providing security."
Luo Feng said: "Our theater group can hire the Shadow Thieves Guild as the theater's security after the new theater is built. The security fee is 10,000 gold coins per day! The newly established chamber of commerce also needs to purchase some products that are not available on the market. Shadow thieves can Through smuggling channels, if the quality of the goods can be guaranteed, the price can be easily negotiated."
Renoir-Bloody Head pondered, and the conditions provided by Bredreau could not be said to be insincere. He could receive a protection fee of 10,000 gold coins every day for doing nothing. This was a good deal that any gangster group could only dream of.
The smuggling business is also very profitable. After increasing the price of some smuggled goods, the profit can almost double.
Adding the two together, the Shadow Thieves Guild's income is likely to exceed the income from reselling tickets.
"It's a pity." He shook his head and refused: "The Shadow Thieves Guild is determined to win the tickets for the Bradero Theater Company. What we are pursuing is not just the gold coin income. It seems that we can't reach a consensus."
Luo Feng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and immediately clarified his thoughts.
The film thief doesn't just want to make money by buying tickets for the theater troupe. Tickets for performances by the Bredlow Theater Company are hard to come by. In many cases, aristocrats can't buy them even if they spend a lot of money. The lottery tickets are all a matter of luck, costing ten dollars of the original ticket price. Twenty times the price may not be available.
The Shadow Thieves Guild is more than just a den of thieves. The shadow master Ellen Linville has a seat in the six-person Council of Amn and secretly controls many members. This is a "vibrant" society with political demands and ambitious goals. organize.
By mastering the ticket source, they can use this to win over the upper class people in Amn, win the favor of nobles and businessmen through gift tickets, and subtly increase their influence.
"well……"
After figuring out the whole story, Luo Feng sighed: "That's such a pity. It's a matter of principle. The troupe must not give in. I also ask Mr. Bloodhead to think about it again. Personally, I really want to make friends with the Shadow Thieves Guild. After all, Many friends mean many paths."
"We should be friends. If you refuse now, it doesn't mean you will refuse in the future." Renault Bloodhead said meaningfully: "Soon, I will provide you with an offer you cannot refuse."
After that, he stood up vigorously, bowed to Luo Feng and said goodbye, turned around and walked out of the mansion gate without looking back.
Luo Feng looked at his departing back coldly, and the joy of occupying the secret base of the Harper Alliance disappeared. How could he not hear the threat implicit in the words of the Shadow Thief Guild Leader?
He often used this kind of words to threaten others. Unexpectedly, the situation changed and someone actually used the same words to threaten him.
However, the last person who threatened him had already been killed by him.
But that's just a small role. The Shadow Thieves Guild is a giant, with members all over Amn. The city of Askatra has a population of 110,000, of which at least 10,000 or 20,000 are members of the Shadow Thieves Guild or are related to the Shadow Thieves Guild. .
You can't wipe the necks of all these 20,000 people, right? Not to mention that these people are all extraordinary assassins. Even if they kill 10,000 pigs, they will be too tired to kill them.
The patron saint of shadow thieves, Arkanis-Gas, is a super assassin in the legendary realm. Luo Feng dared not say he would win 100% against him. You must know that in the original plot, there were so many plot bosses, but he was the only one who killed Chanem. Chicken, no matter whether you are a legendary mage, a chosen one or a descendant of the evil god, you will all be killed with one sword!
It’s really one wave after another!
