"You see, this little trick is of no use to me at all, it will only increase your losses, and smart people will try to avoid them, right?" Henry lowered his voice and whispered in the old man's ear.

He knew very well that conceit, pride, stubbornness, and cunning were the traits of successful people in Kalinshan, who never trusted anyone but himself, not even his wife and children. Therefore, if you want to cooperate with them, the first thing you need to show is not sincerity, but strong strength.

Ares's watch made Hamid's eyes light up, and he immediately couldn't wait to ask, "Is that your pet?" What breed? To sell or not to sell? I can pay ten times more than the price! ”

"I'm sorry, it's my animal companion, not for sale."

Henry politely declined the other party's request for a trade. He now began to admire the calmness of the old man in front of him, and not only did he not get angry after his subordinates were seriously injured, but he opened his mouth to buy a big brown bear disguised as a panda, and the naked merchant's face was exposed.

After hearing the words animal companion, Hamid shook his head with a little regret: "That's really a pity...... It seems that you do seem to be a capable person, but not an easy person to buy. Come with me, you'll see how troublesome this is when you've seen the underground cages where gladiators are kept. ”

With that, he beckoned, and all the guards and thieves withdrew, and Fadini and Ares took the opportunity to come to Henry's side.

Led by the old man, the group passed through the entrance to the grand arena and followed into a narrow path that led underground. Perhaps because of the lack of light for a long time, the walls here are covered with green moss, and the rats are surprisingly large, some even exceeding 40 centimeters. I don't know if it grew up by eating the dead.

It didn't take long for the narrow passage to open up, and an underground hall full of iron cages appeared in front of it, and you didn't have to ask to know that this was where gladiators, slaves, and animals were held.

Look at the walls and cages blackened by fire. Henry laughed suddenly, and so loudly that everyone looked at him.

"What did you find?! Say it! As long as it's any useful clues, I guarantee you'll be rewarded beyond your imagination! Beautiful women (slaves), sturdy gladiators, gold coins, mansions, one qiē and one qiē are not a problem! Hamid didn't hesitate to make a promise that the others were stunned by.

Since then, he has tried many ways to find out what happened that night. Why the most heavily guarded part of the entire arena was breached from within? But alas, all of them failed......

There was no trace of magic or magic ever used, and there was no sign of an outsider breaking in, and the two dozen gladiators who had rioted broke out of their cages and set fire to them, and then disappeared without a trace.

Such a strange scene made the forces behind the East End Arena fearful. Some cautious fellows even offered not to retaliate or open until the matter was clarified, and Hamid was already very upset about this, so he was so generous now.

Henry pointedly at the guards and assassins who were following him and asked, "Are you sure it's okay to say it to their faces?" I can reveal a little bit of a secret first, there are thieves in this matter. ”

"What !!!"

Hamid suddenly felt his head explode, as if he suddenly remembered something, and then the next second, he directly activated the sapphire ring he was wearing on his hand.

Moment!

A level 6 magic "chain lightning" shoots out from inside the gem. After a few guards and thieves saw a bounce, they were slaughtered in the blink of an eye.

Without a hint of hesitation!

So decisive!

So ruthless!

After confirming that everyone had lost their breath, the old man with a fierce look in his eyes took a deep breath. Set your sights on Fatini. Obviously, he wanted to get rid of everyone who could speak except Henry.

The girl was keenly aware of this, and immediately hid behind Ares, her hands trembling slightly from fear.

"Relax! Dear Mr. Hamid, Actually, you don't have to be so desperate, and don't look at my maid with such fierce eyes, or I'll be very upset. Henry took a step to the left as he spoke. Just blocked the other party's view.

"She heard secrets she shouldn't have heard, so she had to die! I can compensate you ten better ones after the fact! Hamid's affection was very emotional. There was a rapid growl.

As a shrewd businessman, he knows all too well what the consequences will be if this kind of thing is leaked. Especially before the truth is found. I don't know if the entire alliance of interests will start to be suspicious of each other, and they don't have to wait for the West Side Arena to make a move.

Henry's eyes suddenly shot out two cold lights, and he shook his head with a sneer: "You don't seem to have heard what I said clearly, my maid is not yet the turn of others to point fingers, so please put away this expression immediately, otherwise I guarantee that once I make a move, the person who falls will never be my person." ”

"You promise she won't leak secrets?" Hamid asked, lowering his voice.

"Of course, she's such a girl, and even if she says it, who will believe it?" Seeing that the other party no longer insisted on killing Fatini, Henry immediately put on a smiling face and spread his hands in a pretended gesture.

Hamid calmed down for a moment, glanced at the girl's expression full of fear, and sighed slightly: "Hey...... All right. You can now talk about what you have discovered. What exactly led you to conclude that there were traitors inside? ”

Henry didn't answer this question directly, but smiled playfully and asked, "I'm afraid I already have the answer in your heart, right?" ”

"Yes, I recall some not-so-good signs, but I'd like to hear your judgment first." Hamid did not deny it, but only vaguely covered up the past.

There was no doubt that he didn't trust Henry very much for the time being, because every nobleman and merchant in Port Carlin had experienced countless intrigues, so it was difficult to trust a stranger lightly.

In this regard, Henry had been prepared for a long time, so he directly pointed to the narrow corridor behind him and explained: "It's very simple, I don't know if you noticed it just now, those huge rats move very quickly. And he is not afraid of people at all, and at first glance he lives in a place where few living people can be met in the sewer. It's clear that these rats are being manipulated by some kind of person, and if I'm not mistaken, you should double-check them in the arena. A big hole that has been dug will definitely be found. Think about it, who knows so much about the structure of an entire arena? Who can quietly contact more than twenty skilled gladiators? ”

Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, suddenly revealed a meaningful look, and stretched out a hand to pat the old man on the shoulder: "Mr. Hamid, I think you should check your partners carefully, I guarantee that one of them must be planning a conspiracy." Good to take your place. See, it won't be long before this person will act again, but this time it's not as simple as causing some trouble......"

Hamid was obviously aware of the severity of the situation, touched the beard on his chin and raised his head and asked, "But can you help me solve these troubles, right?" ”

"Hahahaha! Of course, dear friends. That's what I'm here for. But business is business, and before I take on this task, I need to talk about the conditions. In case you don't know, my asking price is very high. After saying that, Henry deliberately pretended to be mercenary.

As the saying goes, if you want to enter a certain circle, you have to have a common topic with these people, and wealth and profit are precisely the things that businessmen have been tirelessly pursuing, so he asks for benefits directly. Not only will it not make the other person feel sad, but it can bring the relationship closer to each other.

"That's right, business is business. I love this quote. Come on, let's talk about how we can find out the real culprit behind this incident. With that, Hamid took Henry's hand and walked outside.

Along the way, they were like old friends who had known each other for many years, joking with each other, as if what had just happened underground was an illusion.

Fadini only felt that her brain could not keep up with the two of them, and she couldn't believe that Henry looked a few years older than herself. But he can talk eloquently in front of big people, and even threaten each other.

Ares, on the other hand, didn't care about any of that at all. All I could think about was what I should have for lunch. After all, for a carnivore and foodie, Port Carlin's flavorful barbecue is simply an irresistible temptation. If it weren't for Henry's constant control of its appetite, I'm afraid that this big brown bear disguised as a panda would soon be fattened and unable to run.

It has to be said that Hamid's character is very decisive, and as soon as he stepped out of the ground, he ordered his men to start a comprehensive search of the entire arena, even the stables, manure pits and dirty gutters.

Two and a half hours later, a muscular man came up and whispered in his ear, followed by the old man slapping the table and roaring, "Rubbish! Get out of here! ”

"Ah, it looks like your men have found the hole. Let me guess, is it in the gutter? Henry did not care in the slightest about the old man's thunderous appearance, nor did he pay attention to the anger in the eyes of the messenger.

"That's right, you're all right, if I hadn't known you only came to Port Carlin yesterday, I wouldn't even suspect that you planned it. Let's talk about it, how did they quietly release the gladiators? Hamid asked, gasping for breath.

Henry smiled and replied, "My friend, I'm afraid you don't know much about the skills of such animals. Not only can they dig up any warehouse without magical protection, but they can also bite through the steel and have your men check the locks on the cages, and I'm sure they're all bitten off, not picked open with tools. ”

"You mean to say that a bunch of rats dug through the gutter and then snuck into the dungeon and let the gladiators go? The gods are above, and I can't believe that's the case. Hamid's voice trembled slightly, and his face was extremely ugly.

"Hehe, dear friend, it seems that you have remembered something again, but don't worry, check slowly, I'll go have lunch first, and if you want to solve the whole thing, then send the clues to me before two o'clock in the afternoon." With that, Henry stood up and walked out the door.

Just as he was about to cross the threshold, Hamid suddenly stood up, took out a large bag of gold coins from under the drawer and threw it out: "Take it, I'll invite you for this meal at noon." Thank you, Bois, you are the smartest young man I have ever met, and at the same time very capable, but this matter is a bit complicated, and I have to think about it. ”

After grabbing the money bag, Henry nodded lightly: "Of course, think about it slowly, you still have more than three hours." (To be continued)
