Big Capitalist

At this moment, a familiar figure gradually walked over. It was Laken who served as a guide for Merlin and Scarlett.

Laken's appearance seemed to bring a ray of light to the dark street. He had a sunny smile on his face, and it seemed that he still maintained a rare optimism in this chaotic environment.

"Boss Merlin! Long time no see! I have been waiting for you here since I learned of your arrival." Laken waved excitedly, his eyes flashing with a long-lost friendly light. "What are you doing in the Lower City today? Do you need me to lead the way?"

Laken is now very different from when Merlin first met him. He is full of energy and his clothes are much more decent.

Merlin smiled and said jokingly, "Okay, I haven't seen you for a while, and it seems like you're doing pretty well."

Laken chuckled, his eyes gleaming with confidence: "Isn't this all thanks to the boss?"

Merlin nodded, then asked, "Okay, have you done everything I asked you to do?"

Laken patted his chest and assured repeatedly: "I will definitely do what the boss asked for. Please follow me."

About twenty minutes later, Laken brought Merlin and Alex to a small courtyard.

Merlin frowned at the sight of the door as he pushed it open. There were many orcs gathered in the courtyard. When they saw Laken, they instantly smiled with joy. However, when they turned their eyes to Merlin and Alex, who were dressed in fancy clothes, their faces immediately turned gloomy.

One of the very muscular half-bear men stepped forward, clapped his hands, and his face was full of vigilance: "Laken, is this the opportunity you mentioned to give us to make money and support our family?"

Another cat lady snorted, "This delicate fellow is obviously a noble from the upper class. Hurry and go back to your golden nest. You are not welcome in the lower class."

"Are they here to buy slaves?" another orc said with some concern.

"Laken, what's wrong with you! Have you become a running dog of the nobles?" A mocking voice came from the mouth of another orc.

Ilex walked forward with a sneer, his hands ablaze. "I thought the boss was looking for someone, but it turns out you are a bunch of lowly orcs. The Orc Empire does not accept you, and the human race also regards you as slaves. You can only survive here in the Arcane City."

Alex has already entered the fifth level and has extraordinary strength. The fluctuations of his magic power make the surrounding elements seem to be under his control and constantly gather together.

The orcs felt this surging power and their faces instantly became serious, but the half-bear man was not afraid at all and said coldly: "You are not welcome here!"

As he spoke, a strong earth power surged from his body, and he was actually a fifth-level existence. Alex's face changed slightly, and he thought to himself: With such a strong momentum, he must be a fifth-level strongman. How could such an orc still stay in the lower area?

Seeing the situation tense, Laken hurried forward to mediate. Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, Merlin suddenly whispered, "Two thousand faiths."

Instantly, a terrifying pressure swept over, making Alex and the half-bear man unable to move. This invisible pressure filled the two of them with fear, and their eyes fell on Merlin involuntarily.

Alex looked at Merlin in disbelief, thinking to himself: Isn't he a junior wizard? How can he release such terrifying pressure?

The half-bear man thought to himself, oh no, is all this aimed at him?

Merlin raised his hand, and the pressure gradually disappeared. He looked at Alex coldly and said in a serious tone: "Electron, I asked Laken to find these people. They are not the lowly people you said. And before I tell you to do it, don't act on your own. I hope there won't be a next time."

Electrolux was sweating profusely, and he patted his chest and promised: "I will never make this mistake again."

For a moment, he forgot that he was just Merlin's subordinate. He was used to being a superior, so facing Merlin's pressure, he couldn't help feeling a little afraid.

The half-bear man Bolt looked at Merlin and found that the handsome young man in front of him was looking at him with curiosity. He did not look at him as a "commodity" as other nobles did, nor did he have any contemptuous expression. This made him feel a little uncomfortable. After all, it was the first time he saw such a look, especially from a human.

Laken quickly explained: "Bolt, this is Merlin, my current boss. Please don't misunderstand me. He is a student of the Arcane Academy and the current president of the student union of the Arcane Academy. He is not the kind of nobleman you think."

Bolt nodded. As an earth shaman, he could clearly feel the kindness emanating from Merlin, but the other orcs were full of hostility towards Merlin and Alex, especially Alex. The orcs still looked at them with hostility.

Bolt, the half-bear man, pulled a chair out from behind him and placed it in front of Merlin. He asked calmly, "So, young human, why did you gather us here? Laken said you would offer us a job. Is that true?"

Orcs are the bottom of this world, not liked by the Orc Empire, nor accepted by other races. They seem to be born to be hated, and they have to do their best to survive, let alone work.

Merlin sat in the chair naturally and nodded, his tone firm: "Of course, I came here to select talents to work for me, I think you are all suitable."

At this time, Electrolux came close to Merlin and whispered, "Boss, are you sure you want to choose them? Orcs are a race with a deep-rooted habit of stealing, and most of the people here are members of gangs. If you give them work, they might just steal the goods you sell and run away. That's too dangerous."

"We won't do that!" Bolt's face flushed and he shouted excitedly, "The people around me have long since quit gangs and won't steal! We just want to have a job and live with dignity."

Laken walked up to Merlin and added, "Bolt is a well-known orc in the lower district. He never steals and always strives to seek benefits for the orc community. He is looking for a job, which is why he was not recruited by the nobles."

Merlin looked at Bolt and thought to himself. He knew that these orcs were burdened with social prejudice and discrimination, but perhaps it was this background that made them more eager to change their fate.

"Elux, we can't look at them with tinted glasses. I believe they can bring me surprises." Merlin clapped his hands.

"Everyone, I plan to open a supermarket in the downtown area. Is there anyone willing to be my employee?"
