Big Capitalist

In Earl Leo's office, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

The black-robed man clapped his hands and said in a strange voice, "As expected of the exceptional talent who founded the Merlin Chamber of Commerce, you discovered my whereabouts so easily."

Merlin's face turned cold as he asked, "Who are you?"

The black-robed man laughed strangely, then opened his arms as if to embrace the entire room. "Who am I? I'm the envoy who came to guide you to join us, Merlin. We originally thought you were just a small-time thug, but we didn't expect you to be able to control such a huge fortune so quickly. Ever since you disrupted the Royal Chamber of Commerce's plan, we have been keeping an eye on you."

Merlin frowned impatiently. "I hate people who play riddles."

The man in black robes hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I have no ill will towards you."

As he spoke, he pulled out a black envelope from his pocket and raised it proudly. "You definitely know what this is. Congratulations, Merlin, you've been chosen!"

After saying that, the black-robed man threw the envelope towards Merlin with force. The envelope was like a black meteor, carrying a huge amount of magic power, and rushed towards Merlin like a cannonball.

This seemingly simple action was actually a test by the man in black robe. He wanted to see if Merlin was qualified to accept the envelope.

However, Merlin had no intention of accepting it. A double-barreled magic shotgun suddenly appeared in his hand, and he pulled the trigger at the envelope without hesitation.

"boom!"

The first bullet shattered the envelope accurately, and then the second bullet followed closely and exploded directly on the man in black robe.

“Boom—”

There was a loud bang, and the office was instantly filled with smoke.

"Wait, what are you doing?! Don't you understand?"

The man in black robe rushed out of the smoke in a somewhat embarrassed manner, his face beneath the mask distorted with anger.

Merlin was confused. In his opinion, this guy appeared stealthily and released powerful magic. What else could he be but an assassin?

He had no idea what he understood or didn't understand.

The mysterious masked man was almost mad with rage. Just as he was about to continue explaining, two figures suddenly rushed out from his left and right.

The sword in Carl's hand instantly gathered a terrifying magic storm, like a roaring magic dragon, and slashed fiercely at the man in black robe.

The man in black robe felt the fierce sword intent, his face changed, and he hurriedly opened the black magic barrier to resist.

"Damn it! Such a powerful sword intent, but fortunately, this guy is not strong enough, only level five!" The man in black robe said gritting his teeth.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a huge and difficult-to-ignore magical fluctuation erupted from the other side.

In the night sky, that magic is like a rising sun, dazzling and brilliant.

Arthur held the divine weapon Xiguang in his hand, like a god of war descending to earth, and slashed at the mysterious masked man with all his might.

The mysterious masked man was stunned for a moment, his hoarse voice filled with fear: "Divine weapon?!"

A platinum-colored sword energy shot up into the sky, directly tearing half of the sky apart.

The mysterious masked man relied on his seventh-level strength to dodge the terrifying attack, but half of his shoulder was still shattered by the sword energy. He wailed in pain, and then his whole body turned into a black shadow, trying to escape.

"Where do you want to run to!" Merlin's cold voice was like a verdict from hell.

Then, the golden domain instantly expanded. "Domain expansion? Equivalent exchange."

Merlin waved his hand, and the mysterious masked man suddenly felt dizzy, as if the whole world was upside down. His body was out of control and he came directly in front of Merlin from the air.

"What kind of power is this?" The mysterious masked man felt very frustrated. As a seventh-level warrior, he thought that this mission would be easy to accomplish, but he did not expect to fall into such a desperate situation.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on!" roared the mysterious masked man.

At this moment, Arthur, sword in hand, rushed over from afar like a meteor streaking through the night sky, muttering, "Expand the domain!"

In an instant, a black and white picture enveloped the space, and the "time and space" of the mysterious masked man seemed to be frozen.

The artifact Xiguang in Arthur's hand burst out with even hotter magical fluctuations, shining brightly.

Merlin, on his side, had already drawn his bow and arrow, and the Moon God Technique was instantly activated. The powerful power of the Moon God gathered on the arrow, and he fired the strongest Moon God Arrow at the mysterious masked man.

The mysterious masked man screamed in fear: "Sir, save me!"

At the critical moment, a black shadow seemed to break through the constraints of time and space and instantly came to the side of the mysterious masked man.

The black shadow was as thick as ink and exuded a chilling aura.

The moment the shadow appeared, Arthur's golden pupils suddenly flashed, and the divine light instantly covered his whole body. The light in his hand made a pleasant sword sound, and then the divine power surged out, and the sword energy bloomed, like a golden sun rising in the night sky.

At the same time, Selene took over Merlin's body in an instant. The perfect moon magic plus the arrow containing divine power were like a blade of light that tore through space, tearing through layers of space and blasting towards the black shadow.

However, the black shadow did not show any intention of dodging in the face of this powerful attack.

The black shadows on the ground began to boil violently like boiling water. Then, both the platinum-colored sword energy and the arrows of the Moon God Technique disappeared without a trace the moment they came into contact with the darkness, like a stone sinking into the sea.

Then, the black shadow wrapped the mysterious masked man into his body, as if sinking into endless darkness, and disappeared in an instant.

Arthur came to Merlin, looked at the place where the shadow disappeared, and said, "Selene, did you see that? That guy is not dead after all. He disappeared after the war of gods, but he is back again. He is hiding in the continent of Aize!"

Arthur's voice is ethereal, crisp and feminine, which is exactly the voice of the Messiah.

"It seems that the continent of Aize is about to undergo major changes again. First, it was the Lord of Plague, then the Lord of Flesh and Blood, and now the Lord of Shadow has also appeared." Selene said coldly.

"A complete ancient god has been hiding in the continent of Azer and has not been discovered for so many years. Does this mean that a new round of war between gods is about to begin?" Messiah murmured to himself with a hint of worry in his voice.

At the same time, inside the Crown Casino in Earl Rio’s territory, there was another bustling scene.

A very pretty girl was collecting the piles of chips in front of her with great interest. She turned to the muscular butler standing behind her and said excitedly, "This is so cool. I've won more than a dozen games!"

Then, she looked at the dealer beside her, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, and asked, "Can I try the high-end casino?"
