Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 178 Everyone else is with me, how do you want to use them?
Scarlett chose her own bar as the location for the negotiations.

This newly purchased tavern has a large wine storage room in the basement.

Scarlett led a group of people inside, then pointed to one of the walls and said, "We'll dig from here."

"Damn?" Ashley bit into his apple, his expression slightly stunned.

Scarlett had no intention of bringing the negotiations into the open; she always wanted to have a way out.

She roughly measured the distance between Lanxi Street and Landon Street.

Digging through this tavern will quickly lead to a path that connects to the basement of the Phantom Club.

Scarlett explained briefly, and the others didn't ask any more questions. They picked up shovels and started digging the road.

A large hole was quickly dug into the thin wall. Following the hole, everyone soon heard the same clanging sound of shovels hitting the wall.

Zheko stood at the front, pulling Riley behind him to dodge, and sure enough, they saw the entire mud wall collapse towards them.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice complained.

"What's wrong with the boss? Making us dig up the road so early in the morning. Are we even going to do business? I was busy until 5 a.m. and only slept for two hours. If I die from overwork, the boss will have to pay me double, no, triple my wages!"

"Stop talking nonsense! If you delay the boss's business, you'll be in big trouble."

The skinny monkey received a solid slap on the back of the head.

He quickly grabbed the shovel and continued digging.

Just as he looked up, several highly noticeable gazes fell upon him.

It was chillingly cold, penetrating straight to the bone, even colder than snow in winter.

The skinny monkey looked up as if possessed.

He met Zheko's gaze.

"Oh my god! Ghost!"

He jumped up and hid behind Black Tiger.

Bloom, who was following behind him, was startled by his scream. He stumbled back and looked up at Scarlett, just in time to see her.

He frowned deeply!
……

……

The underground passage has been dug.

Rachel's group of people all came over.

There were only two sofas in the basement.

Scarlett sat down at one of the tables.

Rachel sat down at one table.

In a dim, gloomy environment where you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone remained silent, focusing intently on the person next to them, waiting for their leader to speak.

Rachel raised her hand, asked Aphrodite for a cigarette, lit it, and placed it on the table, saying, "We only have the time it takes to smoke a cigarette. If we leave for too long, we'll be discovered."

"Why?" Riley's dark green eyes gleamed with a cold light.

Rachel didn't look at him or answer; she simply kept her gaze on Scarlett and smiled calmly.

It was obvious that she looked down on Riley and thought that a male was not qualified to speak to her.

Scarlett saw through Rachel's thoughts and softened her tone, saying, "Rachel, I've never negotiated before, and I don't know what information needs to be coordinated for cooperation. My husband may have some simple opinions and doubts, so I hope you don't mind."

Rachel then turned her attention to Riley and the other males.

When she touched on Tyron, she paused for half a second, then smiled faintly and said, "Sure. We can be the owners of Renton Street not because we are so capable, but because we have an agreement with Murgard that we cannot leave Renton Street."

"This agreement is not an ordinary agreement, but..."

Rachel rolled up her sleeves.

A thin, bright red line appeared on her pale arm, twisting and turning like a wriggling worm.

“A Gu Pact.” Holst’s gaze sharpened instantly.

Rachel lowered her sleeve. "I don't know what this is either. Anyway, if you want to be a boss on Langton Street, everyone has to have one of these bugs hanging on them." She took a breath of cold air from her thin red lips. "Or as a sacrifice."

“Sacrifice?” Scarlett frowned.

Rachel said, "Mergard is a pervert. To become one of his people, you have to sacrifice a relative. After the sacrifice, he will give you corresponding wealth and status, ensuring your lifelong security. However, once the sacrifice stops, he will take back the wealth and status he has given you."

wealth!

status!

Sacrifice!

Scarlett calmly considered the meaning of those three words.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Mo Ting spoke first, "You mean that once a sacrifice is made, it will continue indefinitely?"

“Yes.” Rachel’s voice was cold.

How often?

"Three months."

Riley's expression hardened. "He's just a businessman, how could he have so much power?"

“He’s not just a businessman; he has people above him.” Seeing her sister’s displeasure, Manqiusha took a step forward and answered for her.

Zheko pressed on in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

Just as Manchusa was about to answer, Rachel raised her hand, stopping her from speaking.

She pursed her lips and stepped back to her original position.

His worried gaze lingered on his sister, growing increasingly intense.

Rachel placed her hand on the table, staring intently at Scarlett, her gaze fixed on the half-lit cigarette, and said, "It's your turn."

Scarlett raised her eyes. "Mergard is a businessman. You want me to destroy his business and make his superiors deal with it, right?"

"Correct."

"Why don't you do it yourself?"

Rachel laughed and said, "Do you know why Lanxi Street collapsed? It's because Murgard would suppress every merchant who came here. Everyone was afraid, including us."

After saying that, Rachel slowly added, "It's not just Lanxi Street, but all the shops around Landon Street are the same. No one can benefit from Landon Street's influence. If they do, they will be ruthlessly suppressed, either dying or becoming crippled. Generally, the former is more common."

Scarlett pondered the words, "It's strange, Nofigar is a small town, not too big, not too small, so why does Mergard like it so much?"

The bosses hidden in the shadows all turned their gazes to Rachel at the same time.

Rachel said expressionlessly, "I don't know either."

Seeing that the cigarette was almost completely extinguished, she stubbed it out with her hand, staring coldly at Scarlett, her calm eyes like a long-dormant abyss. "I can provide the money, I can provide the goods, it just depends on whether you have the guts, whether you're afraid of dying."

This is a statement that deserves careful consideration.

Scarlett didn't think for long. She lifted her eyelids and flashed a bright smile. "One last question, do you people keep animals here?"

Rachel's eyes lit up suddenly, and a smile appeared on her lips. "It's been a long time."

Scarlett felt reassured by the answer.

"Okay. I promise you."

She stood up, took a piece of paper out of her pocket, unfolded it, and pushed it in front of Rachel. "You've been here for so many years, I believe you're quite capable. I don't plan to do anything else but the theater, to go directly against Murgard."

"Can you help me with these things?"

"can."

Rachel glanced at the note casually and answered with ease.

Then, with a slender finger pointing to one of the names, she said gently, "This person, like your beast husband, was taken away six months ago. The others are with me. What do you want to do with them?"
