Chapter 235 Business and Sponsorship
Hearing Leon's words, Nash quickly waved his hand and said:
“No, no, no! Brother Leon! In the past, I listened to my father, but from now on, you are my father… No… From now on, I will listen to you!”
Leon and Dick on the side: ...
Leon smiled and shook his head. “Okay, since you still have this ring at home, you can sell it for some cultivation resources. Anyway, since this thing is given to you, you can do whatever you want with it.”
Nash nodded heavily, “Thank you, Brother Leon!”
Nash paused, then took the initiative to report another matter: "Brother Leon, you asked me to monitor..."
Perhaps because he felt that surveillance was not a good idea, Nash changed his tone and said, "You asked me to keep an eye on Ti Liyang. He's been relatively well behaved for the time being..."
Good guy, Dick exclaimed, good guy!
A few days ago, Dick went to talk to his eldest cousin. After learning about Nash's existence, his cousin told Dick on the spot that Nash was a strong rival and he should be careful that he might take his brother's place...
Dick didn't take it seriously at the time, after all, he was Leon's blood relative.
But now... Dick felt that maybe he should take the initiative a little more...
……
“Brother Leon, please rest assured, I will definitely continue to keep an eye on him!”
Hearing Nash's assurance, Leon nodded with appreciation. Before he could say anything, Dick said loudly, "I will do it too!"
Leon raised his eyebrows slightly. It was rare to see Dick so active, so the two of them looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding.
After all, Dick was shouldering a "heavy responsibility." Nash was watching over him, and he was watching over Nash...
Thinking of this, Dick sighed in his heart again.
As expected, I am the person Leon trusts the most...
This kind of self-strategy was not Dick's first time. As the number of self-strategies and imaginations increased, Leon's image in Dick's eyes became increasingly taller...
Looking at the two people with positive attitudes, Leon took two steps forward and patted their shoulders one by one.
"You have worked hard."
It’s a pity that these two children have never experienced military training, so they can’t give the answer that Leon is familiar with, and it lacks a bit of flavor. As a result, the next second...
“It’s not hard! Working for Brother Leon is not hard at all!”
Leon: ...
Patting Nash's shoulder again, Leon did not continue the topic, but asked the two to sit down and chat.
Unlike Leon's monotonous and exciting college life, Nash and Dick's lives seem normal and regular.
Go to class, do some assignments; then there are some arguments, and every now and then there's a fight...
Although it sounds a bit outrageous, this is indeed the college life of most young wizards.
Listening to Nash and Dick's conversation, Leon suddenly realized that his life seemed a bit monotonous...
The two talked for a while, and then asked about Leon's college cup competition.
Nash was almost blindly confident in Leon, so he took the reward just now, pointed at the space ring and asked: "Brother Leon, is this a trophy?"
If it had just come out, Leon would definitely not admit it, but he already had Dora's "endorsement", so he didn't deliberately hide it.
Leon nodded casually, "Two people were killed."
But on second thought, Leon couldn't help but add, "I only told you about this. No one else knows. Don't make it public."
Dick and Nash looked at each other and nodded quickly.
"Don't worry, Brother Leon, Dick and I will never tell anyone."
Leon hummed, then pointed at the ring on Nash's hand and said, "That's why I suggested you send it back home first. After all, there's no guarantee that someone might recognize it."
Leon was relatively safe. The two rings he picked out were purely standard rings from recent years. At most, there were some minor differences in details, so they were quite common in the academy.
After Nash confirmed that this was the trophy, he seemed to smell a bloody smell and also felt that the weight had increased a lot.
Holding the ring tightly, Nash said in a firm tone: “Brother Leon, I will use it well!”
Leon opened his mouth, seeming to hesitate to speak.
But in the end, he just nodded and said, "As long as you are happy..."
Nash chuckled, then asked Leon if he had any plans for tonight.
Leon was a little confused when he heard this, but he didn't answer first, but asked Nash.
"Do you have plans tonight?"
Nash put his arm around Dick and said, "Dick found a good place, right near the black market! Dick, you tell me!"
Hearing that it was Dick who discovered it, Leon became curious, so he asked Dick, "What good place? And it's so mysterious?"
Dick was being looked at by Leon, and he said a little embarrassedly: "I also discovered it by chance. It was a cave there. When I passed by there, I saw people coming and going at the door, so I... asked around a little..."
Leon nodded, "And then?"
"Brother, you will definitely like it there. I've only met two of them, and I think they are no worse than Bernadette next to you..."
Huh? How did this get to Bernadette?
wait wait wait!
Could it be...
"There's such a place in the Black Bone Forest?!"
When Dick and Nash saw Leon's reaction, they thought Leon was very surprised!
At the same time, Nash couldn't help but sigh. No wonder everyone said that Leon Shelton loved women the most...
Dick nodded. "Yes, and business is pretty good..."
Leon: ...
"How come... there are all of them in the academy..."
Leon didn't know what to say for a moment, "Have you experienced it?"
Dick shook his head. "No, I just asked about the cost... but it was a bit high, so..."
"..."
No matter what, Leon still felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, this is also a school...
"Who are the people in there?"
Dick patted Nash's arm, and Leon looked at Nash.
Nash patted his chest and said, “Brother Leon, I’ve inquired about it. Don’t worry, it’s okay! It’s absolutely reliable!”
Leon couldn't help but be speechless. Damn it, his reputation was ruined like this!
"Who asked you that? I'm asking who's inside, who organized this, and who..."
"Oh my!" Nash suddenly realized. "Everyone inside, regardless of gender, was carefully selected. There are princes and nobles, young ladies from wealthy families... and even prisoners captured from other places!"
Nash paused, then continued, "As for the organizer, I only know that it's a professor in the college who's in charge of this business..."
Nash was very smart. He could tell that Leon was not surprised, but astonished, and even a little puzzled.
So Nash thought about it and took the initiative to explain: “Brother Leon, this is actually very normal. I heard that because of this thing, the number of duels in the academy has decreased a lot.
Besides, this is also a business, there are always people who like this..."
Thinking that his elder brother was the kind of person who liked this, Nash chuckled twice and decisively shut his mouth.
Leon waved his hand. “It doesn’t matter. I didn’t say anything, and… well, forget it. Let it be.”
Leon originally wanted to explain that he was not a big pervert, in order to save his image...
But he suddenly realized that there seemed to be no point in doing so, and most importantly, Leon felt that having such an obvious weakness was not bad.
You never know when someone will attack your so-called weakness.
For example, some beauty trap, etc...
Nash looked at Leon with some anticipation, "Brother Leon, how about we..."
Leon raised his hand and interrupted Nash.
"No, if you want to go...then you can go and take a look first."
Nash and Dick: ???
Seeing the expressions of the two people, Leon was immediately furious.
"What are you two looking at?!" Leon waved his hands as if to shoo away a fly, "Okay, I do have something to do tonight!"
"Brother...where are you going tonight?"
It was Dick who asked the questions, because the smart Nash didn't dare to ask such private matters.
As for Dick… He had finally mustered up the courage to get closer to Leon, so he was really unwilling to give in. Without thinking too much, he asked directly.
It's worth mentioning that this "socializing"... let's call it a socializing, was also the idea of my eldest cousin Silla...
When they were still in the Shelton family, all the information about Leon was collected by Sheila, so Dick asked himself, his understanding of Leon was really inferior to Sheila's.
Xila is also a talented person. He racked his brains and came up with such a good way to keep in touch.
And Silla also gave Dick some extra advice, saying that he must give the best-looking one to Leon...
Dick memorized all of this and even rehearsed it in his mind more than once...
Leon didn't think much about it and took out the invitation letter.
"I do have something to do tonight. Here, this is it."
The invitation was made of a golden shield, so Leon was not worried about it being damaged by the two of them.
Dick took the golden invitation and flipped it over and over in confusion.
"Brother, what kind of invitation is this?"
As Dick was speaking, he wanted to return the invitation to Leon, but after seeing Nash looking eagerly at him, he glanced at Leon, and seeing that Leon's expression was very calm, he handed it back to Nash.
"There's a dinner tonight, a celebration for the top 20 of the College Cup."
"A... a celebration banquet?"
Leon nodded and said, "Most people will be there tonight, and professors from the academy will also attend the banquet, so I have to go and take a look."
"Huh?" Nash on the side suddenly exclaimed in surprise, as if he saw something.
Leon and Dick turned their heads and saw Nash pointing at the mark on the invitation and asked, "Brother Leon, this mark...if I remember correctly, it seems to be from the Sig Chamber of Commerce, right?"
Dick's eyes suddenly widened. Last time, Leon had told him not to get too close to the Sig Chamber of Commerce. How come he turned around and "betrayed" them?
Leon was very impressed with Nash's intelligence gathering ability. He nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed the logo of the Sig Chamber of Commerce.
This banquet was actually organized by James, and if I'm not mistaken, all the expenses for this dinner should have been sponsored by the Sig family... or the Sig Chamber of Commerce."
"sponsor?"
Dick and Nash were a little unfamiliar with the term, but they quickly understood its meaning.
"Then...what can the Xige Chamber of Commerce gain?"
Leon smiled, "Reputation? And the display of strength?"
Leon was not at all surprised by these operations.
After all, in the past, major brands have already made great use of advertising or sponsorship.
In comparison, the Xige Chamber of Commerce’s advertisement is relatively simple.
Hearing the name of the giant Sig Chamber of Commerce, Nash quickly returned the invitation to Leon.
After Leon took it, he remembered its "membership" model.
"By the way, with this invitation, you can get a discount if you go to the Xige Chamber of Commerce.
Think about it, those who receive this invitation actually have the greatest purchasing power."
Nash nodded, seeming to understand. "If I had one of these, I would probably buy it..."
Facing Leon and Dick's gazes, Nash continued, "Just like Brother Leon said just now, this is also a symbol of status and strength... At least it proves that you are in the top 20 of your level..."
"Then I'll give this to you?"
Leon said, and was about to hand the invitation to Nash.
As a result, Nash jumped up from his seat in panic, "No, no, no...don't...I can't do that! How can Brother Leon attend the banquet without this invitation? No way!"
Leon thought of Crabbe and Gayens and smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay. Someone should be able to take me in when the time comes."
Although Leon said it seriously, Nash refused to accept it.
After a pause, Nash's thoughts became clear, so he quickly said:
"Brother Leon! I actually don't like the Sig family at all. What I meant just now was that others...others will probably go with this discounted invitation..."
Leon knew that Nash was expressing his opinion. After all, he had told Dick before not to deal with the Sig Chamber of Commerce. Nash was the best at observing people's expressions and collecting intelligence, so he must know something.
"It's okay. The three of us can rely on each other, so don't be too restrained. Nash, sit down quickly."
"Yes……"
Nash sat down feeling somewhat moved, while Dick was speechless.
Relying on each other? It means monitoring each other...
After chatting for a while, Dick and Nash expressed their blessings to Leon for the third round, and both promised to cheer for Leon off the court.
In addition, the two also said that they would bet everything...
Leon gave further instructions and told Dick to temporarily stop purchasing experimental materials.
Because with Dick's current ability, the consumables he can buy...are already lagging behind Leon's needs.
We can't let him continue to recruit apprentices...
