Section 6, Two Calculations
"Exactly, exactly." The three elders beside him echoed in unison
According to the plan discussed, the two individuals disguised themselves as maids to serve tea and snacks to this vulgar and arrogant fellow. Then, while he was drinking tea, Rebecca used a soft whip hidden in her sleeve to ensnare Leo's feet, causing him to fall to the ground. Following this, Nicole, who was serving the snacks, poured the treats over his head. In such a scenario, it was likely that the tea would also be spilled. To make the situation even more disgusting, Rebecca specifically selected two particularly repulsive snacks for Nicole to serve. The first was "yellow currant," which, when peeled and poured into a bowl, created a sticky, gooey, yellow mess. The second was "spider candy," which, like a spider web, easily stuck to everything.
Indeed, according to family customs, entry into the chamber of commerce requires a member of the chamber to act as a guarantor, and there is also a three-month evaluation period..." said Men Die, feeling quite troubled.
A sharp scream, and both individuals hurriedly stepped back at the same time
No way, this joke has gone too far
This ... ... '', Mendi thought for a moment, looked at Leo, and said: ``However, Brother Leo has a predicament that is difficult to explain to the clan ... ... ''
Leo reached out his hand towards the cup
Rebecca and Nicole were wearing maid outfits, and boiling water splashed on the legs of the three of them. Leo, wearing long pants, was naturally unharmed, but the two young ladies were scalded quite badly. In their panic, they both took a few steps back. Leo reacted as if he were an ordinary woman encountering a mouse, casually tossing the yellow berry he held in his hand.
Nicole's beauty is striking and ethereal, her eyes resembling deep pools of black jade shrouded in cold mist. The delicate silver gauze adds to her otherworldly presence, while her slightly arched, jet-black eyebrows enhance her noble and elegant demeanor, exuding a remarkable charisma. The light from the stone lamp in the darkness outlines her face and the half of the book, revealing a contour that is extraordinarily beautiful
"There are ten thousand gold coins on the card. Although money cannot replace our gratitude, it can express our appreciation..." Mende was taken aback by Leo's direct question, and his response seemed noticeably a bit stiff.
Boban stood up with a sudden burst of energy and said loudly: "Leo, my brother, save my life. Moreover, based on my observations along the way, he is extremely straightforward and is by no means a spy or a shameless person. Such individuals should not be allowed into the business association; what use do I have for him?" His words prompted everyone to nod in agreement.
If we say that spider sugar is part of Leo's plan, then the yellow pulp fruit can only be considered outside of the plan
"This ... ... didn't you hear what we were talking about?"
The predecessors of modern jelly and marshmallows
The influence of the Free Alliance Kingdom was something Leo had known a bit about previously. Mende's sister married into the Golotis family, and over a decade later, Ignatius Golotis ascended to the throne, being referred to as Emperor Ignatius the Great. Within the kingdom, the Solomon family had always maintained a good relationship with the Golotis family, but they remained quite low-key. Now, faced with the weakening of the royal family and the rise of the Storm Harp Mercenary Corps, which sought to control the Elder Council and challenge the royal family, the Solomon family was compelled by the circumstances to stand up and confront the Storm Harp.

"Oh? Do you still have tea here?" Leo pretended to be delighted, standing up to greet them, and as he walked over, he said, "Ah, just when I was very thirsty, bring it over, bring it over..." While speaking, he reached out his hand to take a cup.
As he reached the door, Leo suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said: "Oh, right, regarding the price, it will be based on the mercenary rates at that time, no need for anything excessive"
"Patriarch, you are being too polite. In fact, I was just passing by and did not come specifically to accompany Boban." Leo glanced at Boban.
Hmph, trying to probe into my secrets? No way!
Leo took the magic crystal card, glanced at Rebecca with a smile, and said: "It's not really that, I'm just seeking revenge for myself, ... by the way, how much money is on this card?"
At the moment Leo's hand touched the cup, it suddenly changed direction and reached for the yellow berries on Nicole's tray beside him. At the same time, Rebecca's soft whip had already begun to slowly slide out from her sleeve, where her attention was naturally divided between controlling the whip and not realizing that Leo would pick up the snack. The weight that should have been lightened remained unchanged, and yet the force was reduced by a few degrees on its own, causing the plate to naturally tip over
Leo was left speechless
Boban chuckled and said, "In fact, the Leo brothers came here because they want to become mercenaries and broaden their horizons. Brother Mende, this is the territory of our Solomon family. Allowing someone who has received our kindness to go out and be an ordinary mercenary will surely lead outsiders to mock us for our lack of decorum and hospitality"
The yellow pulp fruit traced a strange arc in the air, colliding with the tray in Nicole's hands, sending a full plate of spider candy flying forward, completely covering Rebecca's head.
Both individuals had finished grooming themselves again. Initially feeling quite embarrassed and unwilling to return, they were compelled by their father, who repeatedly sent people to summon them. Upon seeing Leo, Nicole naturally felt a flush rise to her cheeks and dared not look up at him. Rebecca, on the other hand, glared at him with gritted teeth, and given the glint in his eyes, it was clear he was a clever person. She had intended to play a prank on him but ended up being the one humiliated, dragging her cousin into the embarrassment as well. To make matters worse, their father scolded them, and the situation remains unresolved to this day. Although the elders nearby treated it as a joke, considering it harmless, just the thought of Leo's expression was enough to infuriate them.
With a "bang," the cup and teapot fell to the ground, and scalding tea splashed everywhere
Mendie stood up, grasped Boban's hand, and with a face full of shame said: "Upon hearing Boban's words, I realize that I have judged you with a petty mindset, feeling deeply ashamed! Since Boban has vouched for you, I will make an exception this time. I announce... Leo brothers, are you there...?"
It seems that throughout history, the so-called red-faced and white-faced theatrical performance method ultimately leads to the same conclusion. Before Leo could utter a word, he was already entangled in the Solomon Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, Boban further used his life as a guarantee, transforming into a messenger of justice to speak up for Leo and advocate for fairness. It was thought that regardless of whether Leo complied obediently or felt pressured by the situation, there would always be an explanation. At the very least, he would owe a favor, which could later be leveraged for the benefit of the Chamber of Commerce. However, to everyone's surprise, while everyone was putting in great effort in the performance, Leo quietly slipped aside and distanced himself from the situation.
Ah
"That makes sense," Elder Corbis interjected. "Moreover, our family has numerous external business dealings. If you are truly interested, joining the merchant caravan for some practical experience would not only allow you to help us keep an eye on the goods, but also fulfill the training your master assigned to you. It would be a win-win situation. What do you think, Clan Leader?"
The girl serving tea is indeed Rebecca. Upon seeing Leo reach out to take the cup, she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in her heart
"Hmph, you little rascal, you still want to ambush me." Although there was no killing intent, the hands and thighs of the two, exposed beneath their ordinary maid outfits, were both fair and translucent, unlike the skin tone of commoners in the underground city. Moreover, as they moved, there was an intentional yet unintentional oddity about them, likely due to the concealed weapons hidden beneath their clothing. Coupled with the scent of high-end perfume and the necklace they had forgotten to remove from their necks, their entire disguise was simply unbearable to look at.

After a pause, Boban said, "I am willing to guarantee with my life that the Leo brothers will join the chamber of commerce, and I ask the clan leader to allow them to be exempted from the examination!" His words were even more forceful, resonating with conviction.
Upon Leo's arrival in this esteemed place, he was met with generous hospitality from the chief of the Mendi tribe. Feeling uneasy, he expressed, "If there is ever a need for my assistance, please do not hesitate to send someone to call for me; I will certainly do my utmost."
"Is what Brother Mende said about the Leo brothers entering our chamber without any guarantor?" Boban asked
Mende introduced two young ladies to Leo after completing his daughter's education. Mende has one son and one daughter: his son Roy is a 4th-tier swordsman, and his daughter Rebecca is a 3rd-tier assassin. Nicole, on the other hand, is his younger sister, who is currently the daughter of the Queen of the Free Alliance Kingdom; in other words, Nicole is actually the third princess of the kingdom.
A whole bowl was turned upside down on Nicole's chest, and the yellow pulp flowed from the low-cut neckline, spilling entirely into Nicole's undergarment between her exquisite curves
Hearing his name called, Leo turned around, still marveling at the embedded gold ornaments on the wall, his face displaying a look of confusion. He said, "Uncle Mendi, is there something you need?"
Elder Klin, who manages the family guards and soldiers, said: "Rather than the Leo brothers going out to be mercenaries, it would be better for them to stay with our family as guests. This way, they can also teach the children, and in case of any issues, there will be someone to look after them"
Sitting in the conference hall, Leo completely disregarded the murderous glares from the two young women across from him. He smiled to himself, listening to the elder of the Mendi tribe preach while sizing up the two beauties.
"You are having a meeting, and I feel it would be inappropriate to eavesdrop, so I thought I would just take a look around your place. Rest assured, I haven't heard anything at all." Leo wore an expression that was utterly harmless: "You don't need to worry about me, just carry on, I can take care of myself..."
Rebecca's features are striking, resembling a jade carving; her hair is unbound, left to fall in disarray, as if strands of pure gold cascade to the ground. Her golden eyebrows arch gracefully into her temples, naturally exuding a vibrant spirit.
Mendie felt a flush of embarrassment and said, "Leo brothers, we are talking about you..."
Mendie, in front of everyone, scolded his daughter and niece, which greatly honored Leo. Afterwards, Mendie turned around and, in front of the crowd, took out a magic crystal card and presented it with both hands: "Brother Leo has saved the merchant caravan of Elder Boban this time and helped me bring back all the goods. This small token of appreciation, please be sure to accept it"
Leo looked at the two girls who were about the same age as him and suddenly came up with a plan, preparing to play a good joke.
Now it is the turn of several elders to be stunned
As Leo walked in, Rebecca extended the tray with her left hand while her right hand subtly dropped, preparing to retrieve the riding crop
Having spoken, he gracefully departed under the gaze of the crowd
