Chapter 127: Inside and Outside the Door
Chapter 127: Inside and Outside the Door
Alas, the troublesome "thugs" are indeed "calm" enough to make people feel like they are in a calm hurricane. If they show any flaw, they will be exploited.
After letting Bijinul send away Leo Sander, who had become "one of his own" after the negotiation and agreed to his terms - of course, he also gave him a simple hand bandage - March felt unprecedentedly tired.
No matter how smart you are or how carefully you think, you will be controlled by your emotions.
Machi subconsciously looked at the blood on his cuffs, and his opinion of Leo rose again.
Maybe this person seems naive, lacking strong rhetoric and high emotional intelligence, but his stance and beliefs are firm enough. He will not be overly swayed by desires, and he will be particularly tough when fighting back.
As long as the opportunity is seized and the table is turned over, the situation will be reversed instantly, and the initiator will become the strong initiator, and will be placed on a high platform from which he will never be able to come down.
I now understand why so many of your peers dislike you. You are a ruthless, direct and cold-blooded killer.
As he was thinking, a figure suddenly appeared beside him and hugged Machi's neck.
"Thank you, March. Without you, I would never have been able to reconcile with my father." Maria said in March's ear with gratitude.
Feeling the body approaching, Machi began to suppress the changes in himself in his habit from the past to the present - recalling the time when that person was in the nest and was taken away by succubi one after another in order to protect himself and his other brothers, to replace their tortured past.
Since he was the direct servant of the master of the nest, no one would really "use" him, but because of this, those female succubi who thought they could not forgive him instead developed a desire to torture that man.
He obviously doesn't need to meddle in other people's affairs. He can move freely in the nest with various additional skills and become the only slave with roughly the same status as ordinary members.
But for them, they are willing to satisfy those abominable succubi and torture the "pigs" who are of the same status as them in order to vent their anger and desire.
Then, that person's pain must be ten or a hundred times greater than mine. The damage he suffered and the pain he caused were unimaginable. If that was the case, what did the strange feeling in my body matter?
With such guilt and admiration for that man, March successfully suppressed his body again, slowly raised his hand to lift Maria's back, and said softly: "You are my friend, this is what I should do, and Uncle Leo is also an important part of our plan, no need to thank me."
"March, I will do my best to achieve your ideal. No, it's our ideal." Maria still didn't let go, and March didn't dare to make any other moves.
"Okay, I believe you." He said sincerely.
Over the past month, he had been able to implement his ideas on tavern management and black market reorganization entirely thanks to Maria's help.
After he told her about his so-called "ambition", Maria joined the plan without hesitation and demonstrated excellent qualities that completely exceeded his expectations.
Originally, he just tried to find out that Maria had strong ideas for reform and had a certain political background. He wanted to win her over so that he could better understand Jincheng’s politics and have someone to provide reference.
Unexpectedly, I thought he was at the same bronze level as me, or just a higher silver level, but in the subsequent proposals and implementation, he actually showed the strength of a king.
He completely transformed his general ideas into concrete operations, and even the management system after the integration of the black market was given to him ready-made.
A genius, a super genius in practice and theory.
Machi thought he was not stupid, but he only knew the theory. Having been in the nest for a long time and just facing this world, he had no idea how to deal with the details.
The appearance of Maria helped him solve this problem perfectly. Although he seemed to be the owner of the tavern now, many actual business expansions and operational details were all led by Maria. He only knew that it was roughly similar to his original idea, but he knew nothing about the specific operations.
Not to mention the black market, he was indeed the nominal controller, but the finances and coordination of all aspects were controlled by Maria. Without Maria, he would be completely in the dark about the development and operation of the black market. Even if he was a genius, he would not be able to learn it in just one month.
Maria is said to have used her family's resources to participate in many practices.
So the embarrassing thing at the moment is that March has almost no real power. As long as Maria wants, she can be regent. But fortunately, after Maria takes power, there are some things that cannot be replaced even if she manages them. So logically, March is not worried.
Logically, there was no need to worry. He could sense Maria's gratitude and happiness, and she would never betray him.
However, what Machi was afraid of was that Maria would find out that he actually had other intentions. Then, Maria could use her great power to overturn everything in an instant. Her ability and quality were too strong.
He had been with Maria for a month and knew very well that the upright girl in front of him had a paranoid desire to control the world and would not allow the existence of sand. Once he found the grain of sand in himself, March felt that he would even desire death.
So you have to be extra careful. Think about how the woman in front of you treated those former managers of the black market who wanted to join you - because they had done evil things in the past, in the end they didn't even know how they died.
I can only say that she is worthy of being the daughter of a "thug". Their personalities are very similar.
The disadvantage of Maria discovering the truth is that there is another person who also gives him a headache.
"Maria Sandersi? So this is your full name, huh, so you're so lacking in love, no wonder you always like to put your hands on March, do you like to take advantage so much?" The door opened again, and Bijnur walked in again, looking at the scene of Maria hugging March, and said sarcastically.
Maria's ears turned red. She really didn't like the dirty words said by this obscene dark elf, but she was a little afraid that Machi would believe it, so she had to let go of her hand and glared back at Bikinul, saying, "I think the one who has taken the most advantage is you. Just as Machi's bodyguard, you don't care about the plan at all, but you can jump around in front of me and become one of the core members by relying on your relationship with Machi."
Without hiding anything and without even considering her own feelings, she said words that were extremely stressful - as if she wanted him to fire Bijnour - this was also where March felt helpless about Maria.
He is my subordinate, but how can a subordinate put pressure on the boss? And this subordinate did not realize this at all, and directly believed that useless people should be eliminated.
"So what? I see, little Machi actually likes being taken advantage of by me!" Bikini gave a wicked smile. As a sixth-level warrior, she was able to move so agilely in high heels that Maria and Machi couldn't react. She stepped forward, grabbed Machi's hand, pulled it over, and began to press on his arm with her chest.
“Bijinor, don’t…” Machi wanted to say something and tried to break free.
"Shh, today you even deceived Maria's father. You are so bad that you must be punished." Bijnur blew air into his ear and whispered. Just at this position, this room could reduce her voice.
Machi only felt his body going soft and his ears numb. He gave up struggling and let Bijnur's other hand pull him over and start touching his buttocks.
On the surface, business operations and the integration of the black market are all operated by Maria through strong intervention, and they are all relatively "decent" management methods, which is related to Maria's personal character and values.
But dirty things have to be done behind the scenes many times, so Machi has to have his own hidden dagger, and this hidden dagger is the "native" of the black market, Bikini Noor, who is proficient in assassination and familiar with the rules behind the Golden City.
Moreover, Bijinul did not have any obvious shackles, so there was no means to restrain her. She did not have any further needs. She had stayed in the black market before only because she had a shameful deal with a leader - buying slaves and transporting them back to the dark elves' caves.
As a dark elf, it would be difficult for her to be deceived by himself. After all, if a dark elf is not cunning, he will die. Machi feels that this is still more difficult than the environment where he has to constantly observe people's words and expressions in his nest.
While there was no solution to this, what was even more difficult for him to cope with was that Bijnul's purpose in staying with him was to get him.
Originally, he was well aware that Bijinuer had such desires, and thought he could use her. At worst, there was still the mysterious power left by Brother Heng as a guarantee.
The biggest difference between Machi and the person he imitates, Xu Heng, is that he can understand a person well enough in order to use him. His starting point is different from Xu Heng's from the very beginning. He is doing it for his own selfish desires, so he can also understand the selfish desires of others.
So would Xu Heng dare to leave the tavern without leaving anything behind as a guarantee? After all, he could guess that Xu Heng had discovered that they had done something he didn't allow long before.
But how did he discover it? Later, based on his understanding of Xu Heng's "love" for them, Machi tried to figure out that perhaps there was always a "bodyguard" hiding around them, monitoring their every move, who would not appear until the moment of crisis.
Before he became "Sewell", he went in and out of the black market many times and rarely encountered robbery. He was not like Nolan, the idiot, who thought he looked intimidating.
Then they can be used to fight against parliament.
Bijnur had been by his side all along, actually just waiting for the parliament to destroy his business so that she could take advantage of the situation to rob him, but she didn't expect that she could go so far. Machi knew that she had already guessed about herself.
However, March still underestimated her. As he continued to take advantage of her, Bijinul gradually got to know more of his secrets and even a vague idea of his ambitions.
She secretly obtained a lot of evidence that could expose his lies, and threatened to expose it to Maria in order to stay by his side, waiting for an opportunity to strike like a hungry wolf every day.
She couldn't eat him, but she wouldn't leave. He knew he didn't dare let her leave, and he couldn't use force to drive her away.
As the plan progressed, more and more dark things were done, and Bikini became more and more outrageous and bold in his behavior. He would only restrain himself a little when a strong person like Maria was around.
Bijnour is using Maria to fight back against him, and he is also using Maria to try to fight Bijnour, because it is indeed not good for anyone to put Maria on the opposite side.
In short, March knows that he can't get to where he is today without Maria and Biginur, but the more he gets along, the more he finds that he is restricted by the two of them, and spends every day in a state of tangle.
However, once we control Jincheng and then expand, there will be fewer such dealings. By then, when Brother Heng comes back, we can further utilize the power of the demigod to gain more benefits for our brothers.
You can use whatever you want, you can check and balance whatever you want. As long as Brother Heng and the brothers can live a freer life, I can bear and use any price and any means.
"Bijinol! Let Machi go! You have no manners at all! Don't bully Machi just because he is soft-hearted!" Seeing Bijinol continuing to take advantage of Machi, Maria became anxious. She rushed forward and tried to pull Machi's other hand, but she couldn't pull it, so she could only stay in the stalemate.
"This is called close protection! I saved March's life, so what's wrong with touching him? But you, why did you hug him too? You are just pretending to be noble! You actually like March, right?" Bijnur liked to tease the overly innocent Maria, and immediately started torturing her.
"You...you hooligan! I..." Maria blushed and didn't dare to look at March's reaction, but she really wanted to know what March was thinking.
"Okay, you two, stop it. Biginul, stop teasing Maria. As a human, Maria has just reached adulthood. And don't tease me. As a cat person, I have been an adult for a long time." Machi came out reluctantly to smooth things over. His first mask was that of a gentle, kind gentleman who basically never gets angry.
However, as a succubus, Machi is not an adult.
"Alright, alright, I have to go to the black street for a stroll, little Maria, I'll give you a chance to be alone with March~" Bikini secretly pinched March's waist while Maria wasn't paying attention, then let go and walked towards the gray door in a nonchalant manner, making jokes.
"Then... then I have to go and take a detailed look at the finances of the black market. After all, I have to give a sum of 'life-saving money' to those parasites in the parliament... March, I'm leaving first..." Maria also let go of her hand, speaking awkwardly and nervously. Suddenly, she blurted out for no reason, "Then March, do you want to come with me?"
Alas - facing this situation, March couldn't help but sigh. It was not right to go to the front door, nor the back door. He could only smile and say, "I want to stay here for a while and deal with the blood on the ground. Only the three of us know this room. If we keep this pool of blood, it won't disappear by itself. We'll need this room in the future."
He then pulled out a blue handkerchief from his pocket and added without further ado, "You guys go quickly. You know I have mysophobia and I like doing this kind of work..."
The implication is don't wait for me.
Now, the two girls walked out of the room without any excuse.
"Huh, Brother Heng, this gift prepared for you is very difficult to come by." As soon as the person left, Machi threw away his handkerchief, slumped straight on the chair where Leo had sat, and sighed softly.
Mysophobia? If there was a mysophobia in the nest, Machi probably would really commit suicide. This was just an excuse for him to minimize physical contact with Maria or Bikinoir. At least they would be more careful.
Once he closed his eyes, he just wanted to be alone and quiet for a while.
Naturally, there was no smile on Machi's face anymore, and it turned into a cold and gloomy poker face.
What he didn't know was that behind the two doors in front and behind, Maria and Bijnur didn't actually leave. They were leaning against the door, quietly trying to find out what was going on inside.
I am really becoming more and more fascinated by this bad boy who likes to lie. He appears to be gentle and polite on the surface, but he has so many little thoughts in his mind. He wears layer upon layer of masks and thinks he is in control of the overall situation. He is so cute.
That's why I want to strip you naked, press you under me, and watch you act disrespectful and out of control.
Bijnur's body was hot, and she kept recalling the touch of Machi just now, as well as the inexplicable pleasure brought by the feeling of being in a superior position when threatening him.
Originally, she was indeed attracted by March's appearance and wanted to have some fun, but now, the pleasure of "exploring" March as a person and letting him be slowly mastered by her through repeated attempts has really made Bijnur unable to extricate herself.
Behind the other door, Maria just squatted on the ground, buried her red and hot face in her knees, feeling extremely shy about her excited hug and Bijnur's teasing, and her mind was blank.
In fact, she wanted March to see her as a woman with desires rather than a simple friend or partner.
She considers herself a decent person, but because of March, she always has many thoughts that she thinks are "obscene", which makes her feel ashamed, but she can't help thinking about them.
