"Guest, if there are no other questions…"

"At least tell me, are the Fox Merchant Guild, the Old City Merchant Guild, the Empty Mountain Merchant Guild, and the Phoenix Organization related? And where exactly can I find clues about the Phoenix Organization?"

"The former is 100 disaster stones, the latter is 500 disaster stones."

Are you slaughtering pigs?!

Fang Yue was shocked. What kind of price is this!

The information merchant shrugged. "You must have asked quite a few people before finding me, right? In the entire Chu Nuan City, only our [Xu Dou] information organization dares to sell information about the Phoenix Organization.

"And under the guise of confidentiality fees, any information about the Phoenix Organization is valuable, even some information that we don't know or simply don't sell.

"The mystery of the Phoenix Organization is far from as simple as you think."

Fang Yue was silent.

Compared to the previous quotations that were in gold stones, disaster stones were indeed within his acceptable range.

At least, it wasn't in units of silver stones.

After thinking about it, Fang Yue finally gave the disaster stones.

Looking at the disaster stones that had suddenly decreased by a large amount, Fang Yue felt a heart-wrenching pain.

And looking at the information he obtained, Fang Yue's face darkened.

"All three major merchant guilds are involved with the Phoenix Organization."

I'm impressed!

My 100 disaster stones are only worth this one sentence??

"That's it?"

"That's it."

"I… can I chop you to death?"

"Feel free, if you can withstand the revenge of the [Xu Dou] organization, which spans several national borders and can still take root and sprout…"

Seemingly seeing Fang Yue's anger exploding and really about to chop him to death at all costs, the information merchant's expression stiffened, and he modified another piece of information, pushing it over.

"Many Qingyi of the Qing Si, many Lan Wei invited by Lan Shan, the top 100 merchant guilds of the Tian Shang Alliance, the top 100 [Night Thieves] on the [Thief Ranking], are suspected of being involved with the Phoenix Organization. The leader of the [Thief Ranking], Ming Wuzei, was rumored to have traveled with the Rabbit Seat of the Phoenix Organization for a while, and is suspected to be related."

Wonderful~ Wow~

Seeing this information, Fang Yue finally felt that it was worth the price.

Look at the previous information, what the hell was that line of words!

Just telling me they're involved and that's it? How are they involved? How do the two sides interact? Can the Phoenix Organization be dug out through the three useless merchant guilds? None of this information was even mentioned.

If the next piece of information hadn't revealed something, Fang Yue would have really chopped him to death.

Most importantly, it actually mentioned the Rabbit Seat, one of the twelve seats of the Phoenix Organization!

Wasn't this guy saying that the whereabouts of the twelve seats were very expensive? As expected, fear of death is the key.

Fang Yue's eyes became dangerous, and the information merchant's face darkened. "If you really want to kill me, then do it. If I die, it's not just you who will be in trouble, your relatives and friends will all be implicated. An information organization can't stand on its own just by relying on information."

The information merchant's words were meaningful, causing Fang Yue to calm down.

He remembered that before, the information merchant said that the whereabouts of the Ox Seat were expensive, not the information of the twelve seats.

In other words, the distribution of power or importance of the twelve seats is actually very clearly divided into classes?

Revealing information about the Rabbit Seat, which sounds weak, isn't a big deal.

But if it were about the Ox Seat, the price would skyrocket.

In any case, this cost of materials was still worth more than its value.

"By the way, you keep the customers' information confidential, right?"

"…"

"…You're not going to sell the fact that I bought information to the Phoenix Organization, are you?"

Fang Yue was anxious. He hadn't planned to confront the Phoenix Organization head-on yet.

"…If someone asks or inquires, we will send someone to investigate your identity. If the guest feels it is inappropriate, you can pay a confidentiality fee for your identity. If others can't afford the confidentiality fee, we will not provide your information."

That's fine. Fang Yue thought for a while and gave himself a confidentiality fee of one disaster stone.

With the financial resources of the Phoenix Organization, money can't stop them from investigating him at all.

But it should be enough to block the probes of other small organizations and small figures.

Compared to confidentiality fees, hiding one's own identity is the most important thing.

Since entering Chu Nuan City, Fang Yue had been wearing a mist-shrouded black robe, and the human skin mask was of a subordinate of the Da Yang Merchant Guild.

Even if someone took off his mist-shrouded black robe, it wouldn't reveal his true identity. This is called double insurance!

However, frequently entering and leaving the Da Yang Merchant Guild is indeed prone to problems. It seems that he still has to find an inn to stay in.

Leaving the information merchant's office, after confirming that no one was following him, Fang Yue quickly walked outside.

Not far away, Fang Yue suddenly frowned and, in the crowd on the street, the black blade brushed a knife through the void.

Glaring at the space behind him, Fang Yue spat out a word: "Scram."

Then he left without looking back.

And the information merchant of the [Xu Dou] information organization stared in astonishment at Fang Yue's departing figure on the mirror surface.

"Invisible, odorless, silent, and intangible virtual ghosts can be seen? What is his strength?"

After a moment of silence, the information merchant controlled the remaining [Xu Gui] to return.

No wonder the killing intent he felt just now was so real and wild.

It seems that the other party really had the intention to kill… and indeed has the arrogant strength.

The information merchant understood that if no one commissioned him, he probably wouldn't investigate any information about Fang Yue again.

When facing the strong, you must always have a humble heart, otherwise you won't know how you died one day.

…

After leaving the information merchant, Fang Yue first joined up with Mang Liuzi, and then led the team back to the Da Yang Merchant Guild.

That's right, Mang Niuzi is not called Mang Niuzi, his real name is Mang Liuzi, but later he felt that he always heard vagrants bragging about how big his niuzi was, so he changed his name to Mang Niuzi.

Fang Yue wouldn't indulge him in this, and directly changed his name to Mang Liuzi.

Returning to the Da Yang Merchant Guild, Fang Yue found that Steward Hai was waiting early at the door, with a look of anxiety on his face.

"Steward Hai?"

"Lord Ye, that's great! You're finally back! Come with me quickly, the eldest miss has something to…"

He pulled Fang Yue inside, took two steps, suddenly stopped, and turned his head sharply to look at Mang Liuzi.

"I remember this guy is…"

"A guest official of the Fox Merchant Guild." Fang Yue said, "He's not doing it anymore, and now he wants to get a guest official position in the Da Yang Merchant Guild. Do you think it's suitable? Also, maybe you can get some information about the Fox Merchant Guild from him."

Mang Liuzi quickly said, "Brother, I'm still here."

"Do you think I'm just saying it for Steward Hai to hear?"

"…But I have professional ethics!"

"Steward Hai, use torture at will, I'll take responsibility, he can't run away."

God!

Mang Liuzi was stunned.

Isn't he walking into the tiger's mouth?

Steward Hai said depressedly, "We'll talk about his matter later. It's not important what the Fox Merchant Guild is like for now. Lord Ye, come with me first. Everyone else stays behind."

Hearing this, Fang Yue told the others to stay behind, and he followed Steward Hai to the eldest miss's room.

Soon, he heard the sound of smashing things and throwing a temper coming from the room.

The eldest miss?
