Devil's Bible

Chapter 183 White Trade Association
For example, as long as Leah releases her aura, the surrounding environment will protect her.

At least as long as Leah is attentive, others generally cannot detect her presence through their senses.

Unless Leah goes into a berserk state because she has been away from Angel A for too long.

At the same time, Leah is also very sensitive to the scent of whale products. She can sense any whale product that is within a certain range of her.

This is why Poole decided to let Lydia act alone this time.

The White Merchant Guild wasn't very large, and since they weren't nobles, they couldn't live in manors, so they opted for a 'pseudo-manor'.

In other words, it involves taking a manor as the center, buying all the surrounding manors and houses, and then carrying out certain planning to create a manor that is not a manor at all.

Fences cannot be erected around the area, but police posts can be set up, etc.

In a way, the church district is also a kind of pseudo-manor.

The White Chamber of Commerce mainly deals in agricultural products.

That's right, the Bai Te Chamber of Commerce grows vegetables.

However, the entire Baiwei Town is monopolized by this chamber of commerce, which grows most of the vegetables, fruits, and beans.

Besides owning a considerable amount of farmland along both sides of the Weizhong River, they also have a significant amount of land in the suburbs.

They even supply the church restaurant.

The Chamber of Commerce maintains a low profile in the North District, and regularly receives special offerings from churches.

Even Nems has received gifts from them.

This chamber of commerce has attracted many clergy members, among whom three older Iron Seed priests particularly enjoy dining at the high-end hotels owned by the White Chamber of Commerce.

This can basically be considered as supporting the Bait Chamber of Commerce.

Under these circumstances, the White Chamber of Commerce itself still possesses a not-too-weak armed force.

The chairman's son, Xiaobai Te, was promoted to a steel species a few years ago.

He also had some thugs from the chamber of commerce under his command.

These thugs are mostly Black Stone types with certain stats.

He's not exactly a master, but he can easily deal with ordinary people and gangsters.

Therefore, unlike its low-key approach in the North District, the Bait Chamber of Commerce is exceptionally 'fierce' in the South District.

They control most of the crop seeds. Apart from themselves, other farmers who want to grow vegetables need to buy seeds and corresponding fertilizers from them.

Furthermore, the Bai Te Chamber of Commerce has absolute priority in purchasing the vegetables grown by farmers.

This right to purchase is higher than what the farmers themselves possess.

Even if farmers grow their own vegetables and eat them themselves, it's not allowed.

There have been cases where people have been beaten to death by thugs from the White Chamber of Commerce because of such incidents.

Farmers, under the White Trade Association, were not necessarily even as well-off as slaves.

The reason for such domineering behavior is, of course, to maintain the price of fruits and vegetables.

If even humble farmers can have access to fresh fruits and vegetables anytime, how can the price of these products be increased?

Such behavior is naturally hated, but there are instances where farmers have managed to turn their lives around.

There were times when other businessmen were envious of the fruit and vegetable business.

However, over the years, the Bai Te Chamber of Commerce has maintained a firm grip on the fruit and vegetable market.

If we can't win in the direct market, then some off-the-ground tactics are also useless.

For example, some time ago, a farmer was driven to the brink by the Bai Te Chamber of Commerce. At this time, the Bai Te Chamber of Commerce's competitors quietly sent the farmer to a fictitious agreement.

The farmer voluntarily accepted the dual reform.

He planted the rampaging components and sealed the demonic power within his body.

Such a dual transformation, with its fabricated agreements, is not recommended.

Because the Berserk Accessories are also made of demonic power, if there is demonic power in the body, although one will gain stronger power in a short period of time, even the more stable Berserk Accessory Type II will become Type I, causing the modified person's mind to become extremely turbulent.

As the two forces continue to be used, the barriers between them are broken, and in most cases, they will go berserk and transform into demon-like beings who have lost their sense of self.

However, after hearing that he could gain more power as a result, the farmer made up his mind.

After adapting, they rushed into the park.

He didn't think he could defeat that so-called Iron Seed; he just wanted to kill more members of the White Special Merchant Guild.

However, he died soon after storming the White House that night, without causing much damage.

It's as if a string suddenly snapped, and the person died instantly. From killing in anger to becoming a corpse, it didn't take more than a breath.

Nemes's observation through the rope of oath is not omnipotent and also requires a certain degree of assistance from the perception of the oath-bearer.

Unless Nemes is completely brought upon him.

Therefore, even Nems did not discover how the man suddenly died after killing several guards at that time.

This time, let Nemes take a good look at what the White Special Merchant Guild is hiding.

Leah's infiltration went very smoothly.

The sentry posts surrounding this fake manor were mostly made of black stone, making it impossible for them to detect Leah, who was completely integrated with the whale's aura.

They quickly passed the outer residences and approached the central mansion.

Even at night, the mansion was brightly lit.

Numerous guards stood around the mansion, and many large dogs were kept there.

According to Nems's observations, some of these large dogs are even dangerous creatures.

However, these protections could only protect against gangsters. Leah had almost completely blended into the environment, and those dangerous creatures were completely unaware of the problem.

"Hmm? Lord Nai, there's a whale. Stop it, don't let it." Lia transmitted a few words through the communication. Although her vocabulary had increased over the past six months, she still found it difficult to utter a complete sentence.

Nemus understood what Lia meant. She sensed the whale products, but because of the obstruction of magic circles or special materials, she couldn't determine whether there was whale oil in them.

"Let's go inside the mansion." Nemus didn't think too much and let Lydia enter the mansion directly.

Leah nodded, placed her hand on the windowsill, and prepared to enter the mansion through the open window.

However, it was precisely the instant her hand touched it that...

"Who?" With a cry of surprise, a 'sword light' emerged from the sky and slashed down. However, just as the sword light touched Leah, a black flash appeared on her body, completely blocking the sword light.

"Back up!" Nems immediately gave the order.

Leah nodded, then quickly turned and ran away.

Then, a young-looking man in pajamas jumped from the second floor of the mansion.

A pair of golden eyes scanned the surrounding traces, searching for the intruder.

Soon, he seemed to have caught some clue and chased after Leah in the direction she had retreated.
