The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

"Useless, they're all a bunch of useless trash. No wonder they've almost been wiped out."

Archbishop Lockston Kingsol, a man of greed and avarice and president of the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild, was so angry he laughed.

However, his direct followers of the cult knew that their archbishop was far from being enraged; otherwise, he would have been gloomy and would not have been laughing out loud.

When they learned of the rise of the Grand Chamber of Commerce, which diverted a significant amount of customers, the Golden Weasel Chamber of Commerce's profits plummeted by more than ten percent. The Archbishop's expression at that time was truly terrifying; they were all afraid that the Archbishop would use them as a punching bag and tear them apart at any moment.

The scene was set a few days earlier.

"Silver weapons? What do you want with these? They're so effective against you that you can't even use them, right?"

Looking at the veteran pureblood vampire who came to ask him for a silver weapon, Lockston was somewhat puzzled.

"Never mind that, just borrow it," the veteran pureblood vampire said urgently.

Lockston scoffed, "We're the Order's money-grubbing and greedy faction. You want to borrow expensive silver weapons from us, and this is your attitude? Aren't you going to offer anything in return?"

Lockston flicked a gold coin, which landed on the table with a crisp sound.

"Negotiation requires leverage. Tell me, what benefits can you offer us?"

"You!" The veteran pureblood vampire was furious, but had to suppress his anger.

Now, the survival of the entire vampire clan is at stake. Even if the vampire clan lacks cohesion and a sense of racial honor, it should still unite to face the crisis together.

The vampire clan is indeed in dire straits now.

According to the intelligence relayed by the mixed-blood vampire cannon fodder sent out, the last female pure-blood vampire to appear was unreasonable and extremely hostile towards them. Instead of killing them at the slightest provocation, she was even more aggressive, starting a fight within five seconds of meeting them. She wouldn't listen to anything they said, and her strength was exceptionally powerful.

However, the veteran pureblood vampires couldn't accurately determine the extent of the last female pureblood vampire's magical power, given her supposedly "exceptionally powerful" abilities.

However, it seems impossible to surpass the seventh rank, which is the pinnacle of the vampire race, an insurmountable gap for them.

They assumed that the last female pureblood vampire had reached the peak of the seventh rank.

Facing a "comrade" of this level, it would not be difficult to gather the strength of the entire vampire clan to kill him, but their purpose has never been to kill him, but to bring back the only remaining pure-blooded female comrades to continue the reproduction of the race.

Capturing someone alive is far more difficult than killing them. Facing a peak seventh-tier opponent who harbors great hostility towards them, they cannot guarantee a high success rate in capturing him alive. If the opponent chooses to die rather than submit or even commits suicide, things will be terrible, and they will be unable to stop him.

This concerns the very survival of the vampire clan, and this matter cannot be taken lightly.

That's why a group of veteran pureblood vampires decided to send themselves to negotiate with the cultists of the money-grubbing and greedy faction.

If they could get their hands on the silver weapon, they could quickly teach that "rebellious" female comrade a lesson. She wouldn't even have time to think about suicide before they could grab her and give her a sound defeat CG.

She took turns with them one by one; it was her honor to have relations with so many outstanding pure-blooded clansmen and give birth to their offspring!

Therefore, negotiations with Lockston are particularly important. This veteran pureblood vampire, who was sent to negotiate, can distinguish between advantages and disadvantages and will not be blinded by anger. This is why he was chosen as the negotiator.

They can't afford to turn against these greedy guys yet.

This veteran pureblood vampire ultimately dared not speak out against his anger, and could only swallow his rage, trying to make his tone sound as normal as possible.

"We will consider whether to proceed with the transaction based on what you want."

The old fox, Lockston, naturally had no intention of listening to the veteran pureblood vampire's evasive words, and pressed on relentlessly: "For us merchants, intelligence is extremely valuable. We can make a lot of money through intelligence. First, tell me why you need silver weapons. Be honest with your allies, otherwise, there's no point in talking about lending silver weapons!"

The veteran pureblood vampire was surprised by Roxton's firm stance and, after much deliberation, decided to tell the truth.

“We have found a female pure-blooded member of our tribe, but she is a bit tricky and difficult to deal with. We are asking for silver weapons to suppress her.”

“I see.” Lockston gave a meaningful smile. “Then I must congratulate my dear allies on finding their sweethearts.”

Listening to Lockston's sarcastic remarks, the veteran pureblood vampire felt extremely uncomfortable.

That's why he doesn't like dealing with such cunning people!

The veteran pureblood vampire kept his composure and raised his voice slightly: "Let's skip the pleasantries and tell us what kind of reward you're asking for."

Lockston maintained that unsettling smile and said, "You are indeed a straightforward man. We don't intend to offer you any difficult conditions; after all, I am no devil."

That's settled then. You can continue to help us attack the Grand Merchant Guild's caravans until the Grand Merchant Guild goes bankrupt.

How about it? Pretty good conditions, right?

The veteran pure-blooded vampire continued, "I don't know anything about your human business battles. That so-called Gran Merchant Guild is quite troublesome, isn't it? Otherwise, you wouldn't want to rely on the power of our vampires."

Lockston chuckled and waved his hand in denial: "No, no, no, that Grand Chamber of Commerce is nothing but a clown. If we really wanted to deal with them, we would have countless ways to make sure they are nothing but dust in no time."

It will only cost us some money and resources, but we are the faction driven by greed and avarice. We've kept Lord Avaris's teachings firmly in mind. If we can solve a problem with the cheapest method, we'll use it. A problem that can be solved simply by lending you silver weapons doesn't need any further effort. I'd rather sit in my treasury and count my money than waste that time."

This veteran pureblood vampire has witnessed firsthand just how stingy this faction driven by greed and avarice truly is.

"How about it? Isn't this a great proposal? It's something you can solve with just a little time investment, and you'll also gain our friendship. It's a win-win situation and a great achievement in one fell swoop."

Ultimately, the vampires accepted the terms and successfully borrowed the silver weapons.

Lockston's anger stemmed from the news that the vampires had vanished without a trace.

Whether the vampires failed and were killed, or broke their promise, it caused them losses.

"Fine, I knew these vampires were unreliable, we have to rely on ourselves."
