"Master, those humans are really too much!!"
Looking at the grinning Zayen in front of her, Ina puffed up her cheeks and reported to him angrily.
"These humans are completely ungrateful!
They have completely forgotten how they accepted our aid in the first place.
But now, we only asked for some interest and they are using all sorts of excuses. They even intend to rely on the Church of Holy Church's power to suppress us. These guys are simply despicable!! "
The more Ina spoke, the angrier she became. In the end, she even slammed her fist on the table, causing the things on the table to bounce.
Tilly, who was supposed to stop Ina, also revealed a helpless smile and had no intention of stopping the half-elf girl.
It was no wonder that Ina was so angry. Although Oldman had agreed to their request in the meeting,
Although Oldman agreed to their request during the meeting, not everyone could personally understand how important the aid that Tilly and Ina gave to the Freedom Army was.
Therefore, many people protested and opposed the decision of the Freedom Army's military committee. In their opinion, no matter how much aid these two girls gave to the Freedom Army, it wasn't worth exchanging with the Golden Sand.
In fact, it was no wonder that these people had such thoughts.
In Jenn's opinion, a mere Golden Sand Trade Union wasn't worth much at all.
But in the Freedom Army, most of the people were lower-class civilians, slaves, and small merchants.
To them, a few thousand gold coins was a huge sum of money, tens of thousands of gold coins were equivalent to mountains of gold and silver, hundreds of thousands of gold coins were enough to blind a dog's eyes, and hundreds of millions of gold coins … That was the entire world.
And because of this, although the Golden Sand Trade Union was only a medium-sized "miscellaneous brand" in the eyes of the major forces, in the eyes of the Freedom Army, it was a true mountain of "Golden Sand" piled up into a mountain of gold.
Therefore, in Jenn's opinion, this was just a reasonable payment. But in the eyes of the Freedom Army, this was simply asking for their lives!!
As the saying went, "Cutting off one's path to wealth is like killing one's parents." It could be said that this time, Tilly and Ina didn't even blink an eye and formed a feud with three-fifths of the Freedom Army. It would be strange if they could get away with it.
Thus, the Freedom Army was willing to go to any lengths. They even invited the Holy Church to be their backer in an attempt to renege on their debt.
Fortunately, as the spokesperson of the Holy Church, Nadia managed to stop the situation from escalating. Only then was the conflict barely quelled.
But even so, the National Freedom Army refused to give up. They didn't listen to persuasion or reason.
Instead, they sat in front of the Church of the Holy Church and started protesting. The reason for their protest was simple, even a little naive. In their opinion, the faction behind Tilly had taken away the Golden Sand, which was equivalent to taking away their path of survival. Regardless of whether the other party was right or not, they couldn't continue living after losing their path of survival!
Facing this situation, Nadia was also helpless. In the end, she had no choice but to negotiate with Tilly that if Enclave didn't have enough people to take over the Golden Sand Chamber of Commerce, the National Freedom Army could send some people to take over the vacant positions.
With the support of the National Freedom Army, the remaining members of the Golden Sand also resisted the takeover of Tilly and Ina.
Although they didn't know what kind of organization Enclave was, the fact that the other party was able to force the National Freedom Army to spit out the Golden Sand proved that this organization was definitely powerful.
Once they obtained the Golden Sand, they would have no choice but to become obedient slaves.
On the other hand, most of the members of the National Freedom Army were illiterate and uneducated people who were easier to sway and deceive.
Due to this reason, most of the remaining members of the Golden Sand responded to the National Freedom Army's actions. In their opinion, if they could defeat Enclave's takeover, the Golden Sand would definitely be managed by the National Freedom Army in the end.
And these uneducated and illiterate people obviously didn't have the ability to manage such a huge and powerful chamber of commerce that had its tentacles in almost every industry.
When that time came, they would still have to rely on experienced merchants like themselves.
This way, they could use another method to regain control of the Golden Sand Chamber of Commerce and obtain more power and wealth.
They would be taken over by Enclave and become his slaves.
They could also join forces with the National Freedom Army and secretly obtain everything from the Golden Sand Chamber of Commerce.
It was apparent that the latter was more cost-effective, which was why Tilly and Ina faced many obstacles when they took over the Golden Sand Chamber of Commerce.
It was due to this reason that they came back to seek help from Jenn.
However, both of them were clearly upset. After all, this was a mission given to them by Zayen, and Tilly and Ina had done a good job all this while. They did not expect such a slip-up to occur at the final moment of harvesting the fruits of their labor. It was no wonder that Ina was so depressed and angry.
"In other words, if we don't have enough people to take over the Golden Sand Chamber of Commerce, they will rebel?"
Upon hearing Ina's grumbles, Jenn twitched his brows, narrowed his eyes, and said calmly.
At this moment, Tilly, who had been silent, finally nodded.
"Yes, Master. Although we don't wish for things to develop to this stage, it seems inevitable now.
If we don't take down the Golden Sand Chamber of Commerce in time, perhaps the National Freedom Army will snatch it away.
After all, they have no qualms about doing things now. "
Upon hearing Tilly's answer, Jenn narrowed his eyes and pondered for a few moments. Then, he asked.
"So then, what's the opinion of the Holy Church?"
"Although Paladin Nadia thinks that we should fulfill the contract, many people in the Holy Church think that we should focus on the bigger picture."
Although Tilly didn't explain it clearly, the people present weren't fools. They naturally understood what she meant by 'focus on the bigger picture'. Anyway, it definitely wouldn't be Enclave's bigger picture.
"Haha, how interesting."
Upon hearing Tilly's answer, Jenn let out a cold laugh. In fact, Jenn wasn't surprised by the National Freedom Army's decision.
After all, it was human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. Besides, it was really difficult to expect those stupid civilians to understand the spirit of a contract.
Humans were greedy by nature, not to mention in the face of such massive wealth. If the National Freedom Army were all selfless saints, it would be more surprising to Jenn.
However, Jenn didn't give the order immediately. Instead, he leisurely sipped on a cup of tea and looked at the two of them with a smile.
"So then, what do you think we should do?"
"Although I really want to say that we should just get rid of these ungrateful people, but …"
As she spoke, Ina pouted and glanced at Zayen.
"Master probably won't allow us to do that, right?"
"Based on the current situation, it's indeed not suitable for us to fall out with the National Freedom Army."
Tilly also nodded slightly.
"Although I'm not sure what Master wants to do, I think Master wants to infiltrate this organization.
If not, he wouldn't have intentionally allowed it to grow.
I'm sure Master is well aware of the weakness of the National Freedom Army and they will face this day sooner or later.
But Master still insists on helping them, so I think there must be a deeper meaning behind it.
It seems like the best way for us to take over the Golden Sand Trade Union in a way that no one can find fault with … "
"But how can it be that easy?"
Hearing this, Ina instantly complained.
"We've calculated that in order to take complete control of the Golden Sand Trade Union, we need more than a hundred people in the upper echelons.
It's not that Master can't send a hundred people, but everyone is familiar with Master's people. Once we send them out, won't the Holy Church know that Master is behind it?
If Master wanted to expose his identity, he wouldn't even need to create this Enclave! "
Upon hearing their words, Jenn nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed like Ina and Tilly had grown a lot during this period of time.
If it were before this, they wouldn't have such insight.
Although the solutions proposed by the two of them were very immature, they were very clear and understood their own thoughts.
As for their inability to come up with a solution, it was entirely because they weren't mature enough.
But for now, their suggestions were already a pretty good return for Zayen.
"Alright, I understand what you mean."
Hearing this, Zayen smiled and interrupted the conversation between the two.
"In fact, just as you said, the most important problem now is how to take over the Golden Sand Trade Union.
I admit that the Golden Sand isn't gold to me. It's just a pebble at most.
But it does have a rather important meaning to me. "
At this point, Zayen paused for a moment. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smug smile.
"By the way, Tilly, Ina. Do you want to see the National Freedom Army crawling before you like dogs, wagging their tails and begging for mercy?"
"Them?"
Upon hearing Jenn's words, Ina closed her eyes and imagined it. Then, she put on a bitter expression.
"Forget it, I feel disgusted just by looking at them."
But unlike Ina's grumbles, Tilly's eyes lit up.
"Master, do you have a way for us to successfully take over the Golden Sand?"
"That's right."
Upon hearing Tilly's question, Jenn nodded.
"The biggest problem now is that we can't find enough capable and relatively unfamiliar people to take over the affairs of the Golden Sand.
So, as long as we find enough qualified people to do this, everything will be solved, isn't it? "
"Eh?"
Upon hearing this, Ina finally reacted. She widened her eyes in surprise and looked at Jenn.
"Master, do you have a way to find 100 people?
That's a hundred people, and they have to understand business operations. You don't know how those guys looked at us like we were idiots when Tilly and I went to take over. It's so infuriating … "
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Upon hearing Ina's grumbles, Jenn smiled.
"I can guarantee that this will definitely not be a problem."
