Chapter 373 The next head of the Green family will be my subordinate.
Chapter 373 The next head of the Green family will be my subordinate.
The Taiwanese woman's voice was still trembling.
His eyes were fixed on Chen Xian, filled with fear and confusion:
"How...how did you know?"
Chen Xian released his grip and took half a step back.
Leaning against the carved window sill, his tone was flat:
"It's very simple."
"The ale in the Fox House is produced by the Green family's winery."
Taiwan immediately retorted, raising its voice slightly:
"What's so strange about that? The Green family has always been in the liquor business!"
"Half of the taverns in Lin Yuan City sell their wine. They can't all be spies of the Green family, can they?"
Her words seemed reasonable.
But Chen Xian merely curled the corners of his lips:
"Then do you know that this ale isn't produced locally by the beastmen?"
Taiwanese woman's expression changed instantly.
Chen Xian continued:
"The malt used for this beer can only be found in the southern plains of human territory."
"The transportation has to cross three monster mountain ranges, which is extremely costly. It is a special supply that only troll nobles can drink."
"A fox-man manor that claims to 'work for the troll royal family' actually uses the Grimm family's special human-only ale."
Do you think this is normal?
Wanwan's lips moved, but she couldn't utter a word.
She genuinely didn't know where the ale came from.
All I know is that it was a gift from my family, "wine for entertaining distinguished guests."
I never imagined there were so many intricacies involved.
A look of alarm instantly spread across her face.
She took a step back, her hand stealthily reaching for the dagger on the bedside table:
"Who are you? Why are you asking these questions?"
"Leave here now, or I'll call the guards!"
Chen Xian didn't move.
Instead, he took something out of his pocket and gently placed it on the table.
It was a gem the size of a pigeon's egg.
It glows with a pale blue light and is engraved with the vine patterns unique to the fox clan.
It was Lucy who gave her the heart of the fox clan.
Wanwan's eyes widened instantly.
His body froze on the spot, and he even forgot to breathe.
"This...this is the heart of the fox clan?!"
"Impossible! The fox-human royal family has long... long since been wiped out!"
She rushed forward, trying to snatch the gem.
But just as he reached halfway, he suddenly pulled out a dagger from the bedside and stabbed at Chen Xian!
"Where did you come from, you swindler! You think you can fool me with a fake? I'll send you down to meet the dead royalty!"
The dagger flashed with a cold light, aimed straight at Chen Xian's chest.
But Chen Xian simply dodged to the side, his movements as fast as a shadow.
At the same time, he reached out and grabbed Wanwan's wrist, giving it a gentle twist.
With a "click".
Wanwan cried out in pain, and the dagger clattered to the ground.
Chen Xian then pressed her against the wall, his arm against her shoulder, making her unable to move.
Wanwan struggled, but her eyes reddened:
"Let me go! There's no hope for the fox people! Don't try to fool me with these fake things!"
"Kill me if you want! I'd rather die than cooperate with a liar!"
Chen Xian looked at her reddened eyes and let go of her hand:
"When did I say that the fox-human royal family is all dead?"
Taiwan was stunned.
Tears still clung to the corners of my eyes:
"What...what do you mean?"
"There is a fox tribe over Langya Mountain."
Chen Xian picked up the fox heart from the ground and handed it to her:
"Princess Lucy is still alive, and the old patriarch Fox is also here."
"Have you heard of the 'Fox Cub Wine' that's been all the rage with the troll royal family lately? That's what they brew."
"Fox Wine?!"
Wanwan's eyes lit up for a moment, then quickly dimmed again:
“I know! The troll nobles are all scrambling to buy it, saying it’s ‘ancient fox-brewing method’…”
"But those were just a few dozen old people, women, and children, right? How could they possibly save the fox people from the troll territory?"
"I'm lucky to be alive, I gave up hope a long time ago..."
"I can."
Chen Xian's voice was not loud.
But it was like a pebble thrown into the heart of a bay.
She looked up and met Chen Xian's eyes.
There was no joking in those eyes, only certainty.
"you?"
Wanwan frowned and shook her head:
"Impossible. You have no idea what's going on here!"
"The fox people of the troll territory were broken into countless small pieces."
The men were forced into hard labor by the Green family, while the women became playthings for the nobility!
"It's difficult for everyone to even meet, so how can we organize ourselves? Besides... and my father is still in the hands of the Green family!"
As she finished speaking, her voice lowered, tinged with despair.
That was her biggest weakness.
Everyone thought her father was dead.
Only she knew that her father was imprisoned by the Green family, and she had to work for them.
Chen Xian, however, was already prepared:
"I can handle your father's matter."
“As long as the werewolves and trolls go to war, the Green family will be too busy to help themselves, so it won’t be difficult to save him then.”
"Moreover, the next head of the Green family will be my subordinate."
Wanwan's head buzzed, as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer.
"What did you say?"
"A war between werewolves and trolls is somewhat possible... but what about the head of the Green family?"
“Nikki has already been chosen as the next one! How could you, an outsider, possibly make him your subordinate?”
"This is impossible!"
She thought Chen Xian was talking nonsense.
The Green family is the number one merchant guild among orcs. How could the position of patriarch be controlled by an outsider?
Chen Xian laughed.
Take out a small porcelain bottle and place it on the table.
The bottle is engraved with the Green family crest and contains a pale purple liquid:
"Do you recognize this?"
Wanwan's gaze fell on the porcelain vase, and her pupils suddenly contracted:
"This is... Holy Spirit Potion?!"
"The Green family's most crucial secret! The patriarch now wants to use this potion to enhance his strength and plot to seize power from the troll royal family!"
"How come you have this?"
Chen Xian picked up the porcelain bottle and gently shook it:
"Because the Holy Spirit potion for the Green family is supplied by my people."
"boom!"
These words struck like a thunderbolt into the minds of Taiwanese people.
She was completely stunned, standing there with her hands and feet feeling cold.
The Holy Spirit Potion is the lifeblood of the Green family, and its supply channels are absolutely top secret.
How terrifying must someone be to control this channel?
And… she suddenly remembered something, and her face turned deathly pale:
"Isn't the supplier of the Holy Spirit Potion... a human caravan?"
She suddenly looked up and stared into Chen Xian's eyes.
His voice was trembling:
"You...you're human?!"
