"Thieves' gang!" Upon hearing this, Tie Hu and the others changed color, secretly thinking it was bad.

  On the other side, Wang Chen also furrowed his brow, looking at these people with a hint of solemnity in his eyes. Thieves' gang? What bad luck, to actually encounter members of a thieves' gang.

  Footsteps gathered densely, in the blink of an eye, hundreds of thieves surrounded everyone within this empty space.

  The sheer number of people made Wang Chen and Aileen take a cold breath! Hundreds of people, this is absolutely considered a very large gang of thieves.

  Aileen and Tiehu were both frowning tightly. What's going on? Tianfeng City, although one of the three major towns under the Jinshu Mountains, was prosperous in trade, resulting in many thieves' gangs, but a large-scale thieves' gang of hundreds of people like this didn't exist! The largest one had just over a hundred people, and it wasn't even active around here.

  The appearance of these people made Irene feel somewhat strange.

  "Haha... luck isn't bad, there's even a pretty little girl! Alright, leave your things and the little girl behind, now get lost for this grandpa immediately." The leader of the group of bandits, who had a fierce appearance, laughed as he said, surrounding Wang Chen and his companions.

  These words brought a hint of anger to Tie Hu's face! His life could be said to have been saved by Miss Aileen. Three years ago, Miss Aileen had saved him. Since then he had always followed Miss Aileen as her guard. It could be said that Aileen was the person he respected the most.

  Now, when others say so, he is naturally unhappy.

  At the same time, Irene also furrowed her brow and showed a hint of displeasure on her face. However, it was quickly covered up! A sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "This big brother, we are people from the Black Gold Merchant Association, I am the person in charge of the auction house in Tianshui City, and I hope that you will give us some convenience! If you have time to come to our Tianshui City, little sister will definitely treat you with great hospitality. This time, we are also going out to take care of something, there is nothing valuable, if you want wealth, we will give it to you!"

  Aileen took two steps forward and said to the burly man at the front.

  Her tone was mature and skilled, obviously her communication skills were excellent. Plus that charming temperament, instantly narrowed the distance between them.

  Aileen's words also surprised Wang Chen a bit.

  Hei Jin Chamber of Commerce, this is a major chamber of commerce in the North Territory, with business stretching to every corner of the North Territory. At the same time, it is also the largest chamber of commerce in the Cangyue Kingdom. The three families that hold Hei Jin Chamber of Commerce are all among the top families in the Cangyue Kingdom. Any one of these families is not much inferior to the royal family at its peak. This is something that Wang Chen knows a thing or two about.

  The Black Gold Chamber of Commerce holds 30% of the economic lifeline of the Cangyue Kingdom, with an influence that is truly terrifying and a strong force to be reckoned with! I didn't expect Ailin to be a member of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, let alone the host of the Tian Shui City branch! Such an identity is enough to rival that of a decent family patriarch. At the very least, it can rival the status of the Han family back then.

  This made Wang Chen's eyes somewhat strange, looking at Aileen with a hint of doubt.

  "Black Gold Merchant Guild?" The leader of the bandits muttered to himself, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect it to be Miss Ailin from Tianshui City. It seems we've met at a really bad time. You're quite good! Unfortunately, today I want both money and people! Alright, let's cut the chatter. Hand over your money, leave the woman behind, and the rest of you can leave!"

  The leader of the bandits narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Irene, a hint of a wild smile appearing on the corner of his mouth. "Irene, this is a famous person in Tian Shui City. Seductive and charming, her reputation precedes her, he naturally knew some things."

  "We're all outsiders, aren't we? If you can make things convenient for us this time, the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce will definitely remember your kindness. On behalf of the Tianshui City Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, I'd like to extend a warm welcome to you to come visit us in the future. Who knows, maybe we'll have some business dealings too?" Ellyn said with a hint of a charming smile on her lips.

  This sentence made Wang Chen secretly exclaim "awesome"!

  A simple sentence that reveals too much information! First, it's the use of Hei Jin Shang Hui to suppress the opponent! Hei Jin Shang Hui is a behemoth in Cang Yue Kingdom, no one dares to offend them. Even the largest sect in Cang Yue Kingdom, Yue Hua Men, doesn't want to offend them.

  Secondly, saying that we owe these people a favor is undoubtedly declaring that we will not pursue this matter, and the favors of the Black Gold Association are good things.

  Finally, Irene even offered conditions for future cooperation! The Black Gold Chamber of Commerce representing Tian Shui City can cooperate with these thieves.

  To know, these thieves often do some robbery business, they just rely on such business to make a living.

  Many times, they would snatch some tricky items, but there was no way to get rid of them. Some small businessmen dared not take over some hot goods either. This resulted in many good things being unsalable.

  If they can cooperate with Hei Jin Shang Hui, by relying on the channels of Hei Jin Shang Hui, the thieves' gang will definitely gain a lot of benefits.

  This remark made the burly man at the forefront furrow his brow, and after a long moment of contemplation, a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes: "The terms are very enticing! If it were before, you could have really moved me. Unfortunately, it's today! You're saying this at the wrong time! Miss Aileen, I'm also a straightforward person. Miss Aileen looks quite pleasing to my eyes! I won't make things difficult for you either; just leave everything behind and take the people with you can leave now! I won't make things difficult for you either, how about it?"

  Aileen's way of dealing with things is indeed good, and the thieves' gang has finally taken a step back!

  After all, Hei Jin Shang Hui is indeed not easy to mess with, no need for you to die and I live!

  Tianshui City, one of the three major towns in the Cangshan Mountains, the third largest town in the Tsang Kingdom, and the fifth most important commercial hub of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce. Ailin's status within the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce is not simple at all! If things really get to the point of life and death, it would be difficult to handle. Once the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce investigates... even if there are people helping you take the fall, it won't be useful!

  After all, Hei Jin Shang Hui is not controlled by a single family.

  "Alright!" Irene agreed readily and then turned her head to look at Tie Hu: "Tie Hu, hand over all the gold coins to this big brother, let's go!"

  It's just some money, Irene won't mind too much! At present, the enemy is strong and we are weak, there's no need to tear our faces apart for a little money.

  Upon hearing Irene's words, Iron Tiger hesitated for a moment before pulling out a bag of gold coins, mainly consisting of one gold card and one silver card!! This is the commonly used gold coin savings card in Beijiang, with one gold card being equivalent to 100,000 gold coins and one silver card being equivalent to 10,000 gold coins! This instantly amounts to 110,000 gold coins! Wang Chen's eyes widened in amazement. Truly, wealth knows no bounds.

  One hundred and ten thousand gold coins were taken out without batting an eyelid, with a faint smile still hanging on the corner of her mouth. This made Wang Chen look at Aileen in a new light again. Indeed, she was not an ordinary woman. No wonder she could become one of the leaders of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce at such a young age. This kind of sophistication in social interactions and handling matters, as well as being able to remain calm under pressure, was not something that just anyone could do.

  At the same time, Wang Chen couldn't help but furrow his brow and look at these thieves, especially the leader of the thieves and several masked men beside him.

  These people bring him a sense of unease and danger! Intuition tells Wang Chen that the purpose of these people should not be so simple.

  The Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, a large merchant guild like this, is not one that thieves' gangs dare to provoke. The main targets of these thieves' gangs are usually small merchant teams. There's also some suspicion here. Adding the fact that these people didn't bat an eyelid after finding out Eileen's identity, especially the glint in the leader's eyes at that moment.

  All of this seemed unusual, and Wang Chen secretly felt a sense of vigilance, preparing for the worst.

  "Hmm, hmm, hmm, it's indeed a lot of money!" The result was that Tie Hu handed over the gold coins and cards, and the big man smiled slightly, but then his face changed, revealing a hint of a gloomy smile: "What a pity, these are not what I want. Miss Aileen still has good things that haven't been taken out, right? Since you can make Miss Aileen run errands in person, this time must have brought something unusual, right? I think I'm more interested in getting that thing!"

  As expected, just as Wang Chen had anticipated, these thieves were not so simple after all! The intention of the drunk old man is not in the wine.

  At the same time, Irene on the other side also changed her expression and revealed a hint of ugliness: "What is your purpose?"

  Can't Irene feel something is off now?

  "I just want to see what good stuff Miss Aileen has brought this time. I've heard that Miss Aileen has gotten her hands on some great items, and in five days, Tian Shui City is going to have a large-scale auction, right?" The big man said with a playful smile on his face.

  "You're here for this!" Aileen's smile was gone, her face looking unpleasant. At the same time, she quickly thought of something in her mind.

  This time I went out to get those two things very secretly, not many people know. The few people around me who knew definitely wouldn't betray me, so next is...

  Suddenly, Irene seemed to think of something: "How much did others pay you to hire you? I can give you double the amount, let's be friends!"

  Thinking of that matter, Aileen calmed down and looked at the big man seriously.

  "Miss Irene is really generous, unfortunately, we don't have an employer, otherwise I wouldn't mind making a fortune! We only want the things Miss Irene brought, hoping Miss Irene will cooperate." Upon hearing Irene's words, the big man narrowed his eyes and revealed a hint of a sly smile.

  "Aren't you afraid of the Black Gold Merchant Association's revenge? Do you think your backstage people can protect you? You're just their tools!" Irene's voice was somewhat cold.

  "We don't have anyone behind the scenes, I don't need to repeat that. As for the Black Gold Merchant Guild's revenge, Miss Aileen doesn't need to worry about us!" The big man smiled and said.

  "But it seems Miss Aileen is not cooperating! In that case... don't blame us for being impolite, and if we hurt Miss Aileen, I hope you'll forgive us!" After that, the big man narrowed his eyes and his tone became heavier.

  As soon as the voice fell, the man who had been noticed by Wang Chen and others beside him suddenly surged in momentum. At the same time, the surrounding thieves also narrowed their encirclement.

  For a time, the situation was precarious and the atmosphere was completely frozen.
