That's why she told him, "If you want to become a Jade Phoenix Mage, you can go find that Jade Phoenix Mage who is about to fall."

Who would have thought, Louis, that bastard, could just cheat like this!

After sorting out his thoughts, Louis deliberately sighed and said:

"I feel it, another of our compatriots is about to meet their end."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell silent instantly.

On the star-like faces of the people, waves of emotions appeared. Clearly, many were shocked by this news.

Mr. Chi lowered his head, pondered for a long time, then suddenly sighed and said:

"So the news was true... If that's the case, things might get chaotic over in Tunisia."

Louis said in surprise:

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Mr. Chi glanced at Louis and replied warmly:

"No need to probe me, Mr. Mayer."

"I know that some companions in the Jade Phoenix Alliance still remain wary of their partners."

"That's why, even when a demi-plane is opened, there are people like you who are unwilling to join in."

"After all, we came through like this back then."

"But as long as you get along with others for a long time, you will understand that, in the belief of suppressing that thing and protecting the Star Continent, our wills are united."

Mr. Chi seemed to have misunderstood something, looking at Louis with increasingly gentle eyes and said:

"A few days ago, my friend Fox went to Tunisia to suppress the remnants of 'that thing.'

"On the way, he suddenly felt something and sent me a message saying that after he goes, he might not return."

"I was mentally prepared for this, but I didn't expect, in such a short time, he has already become a candle in the wind."

"Mr. Mayer, thank you for intentionally bringing this news to the alliance."

"Knowing the news in advance, we still have a chance to buffer."

"If it was delayed any longer, it might really cause some trouble."

Louis:...

Did he make up something strange in his mind?

But Louis couldn't explain it now.

You can't just jump up and tell everyone, "I'm actually not a member of your alliance; there are 14 people for 13 Jade Phoenix positions; that makes sense, right?"

That would risk causing some trouble later on.

However, the news about a Jade Phoenix Mage falling is likely true, as it was told by his mother-in-law.

So he emphasized, "It's not necessarily him, it could be another Jade Phoenix Mage."

When Mr. Chi nodded without reacting further, he could only accept it.

At that moment, a Jade Phoenix Mage suddenly said:

"Are you Mayer Morgan Rockefeller of the Ense Empire Mayer Commerce Association?"

Louis' mouth curled slightly.

He had always been a flexible thinker.

Upon discovering his true identity had been exposed, he made the decisive choice to utilize the identity of "Mayer."

So, without changing his expression or heartbeat, he said:

"That's me. If there's anything you wish to cooperate with our association on, feel free to contact me."

"Considering everyone here are Jade Phoenix Mages, I will offer a fair price."

The venue was filled with hushed whispers.

Someone asked, "Mayer Commerce Association? What's that?"

Then someone next to them replied:

"Haven't you heard about the news outside lately? Over in Tino City, a business genius emerged..."

With his constant chatter like noise from a rainy night, this mage directly educated the attendees about Mayer's remarkable achievements.

In his words, Mayer's acquisition of waste handling equipment technology from various forces had already made his name known from Ense all the way to the Sword Coast.

Especially over in the land of merchants, Mayer's top-tier open scheme had made them adore him to the point where they would shout "holy cow" without elegance.

Of course, as Huang Fanfan continued to chat, he even touched on the Mayer Commerce Association.

As Louis expected, the conversation soon led to rumors like "trusted business ally of the wise of the empire," "association protected by legendary dragons," and even "Mayer is a dragon."

For a moment, everyone's expressions grew more astonished as they looked at Louis.

Behind him stood a powerful empire, and even legendary dragons were there to protect him; no wonder this "Mayer" dared to expose his true identity.

At that moment, a short mage from the corner suddenly said:

"Do you know the newcomer?"

Upon hearing this, star-like ripples again appeared on everyone's faces.

"Mr. Mayer is acquainted with the newcomer (Olivia)?"

"What does this mean?!"

People's thoughts churned, intertwining various wonderful ideas in their minds.

But soon, their thoughts reached a consensus.

"The legendary comrade who had already died hailed from the ancient human empire Ense."

"Heard there's an unprecedentedly massive body of 'that thing' beneath Ense."

"Thus, the Jade Phoenix Mages, who currently make up the majority in the alliance, are from the Ense Empire."

"Saying this, does the newcomer (Olivia) still stand with the Ense Empire?"

"No, it's more than that."

"Mayer doesn't even intend to hide the overwhelming dragon power within him."

"Moreover, there is the protection of legendary dragons by his side."

"And the stance of Mayer Commerce Association in reality is firmly beside Prince Louis."

"Thus, the cooperation between the Ense Empire and the Jade Phoenix Mages has deepened further?"

At this moment, the Jade Phoenix Mage attendees had frequent thoughts in their minds.

Especially the mage who questioned Louis if he was Mayer, was deeply shaken and uneasy.

Because his name was Sanox Ford, an Am Empire citizen.

Like those Jade Phoenix Mages lurking in Ense's dark corners, he was also part of Am Empire's hidden high-ranking force.

"Not good, must remind the O5 Council not to act recklessly."

"If taking a loss, take a loss; don't entangle ourselves, that's the real trouble."

In fact, Louis stirred up the storm outside with Mayer's identity, causing dissatisfaction among certain people in the Am Empire.

Especially in the negotiations where the Wealth Can Reach God Commerce Association suffered a minor loss.

This association is directly connected to the O5 Council of the Am Empire.

To be precise, it involves the son of one of the council members.

Although they obtained a major order, due to Louis' final wave of mad price slashing, the actual funding received fell far short of expected revenue.

For merchants, not earning enough is a loss.

The person behind Wealth Can Reach God was naturally quite dissatisfied.

Rumor has it that he even planned to show Mayer, the mastermind behind this, a lesson.

Now it seems if really attempting to show a lesson, it might cause big trouble.

Originally, he thought Mayer might just be borrowing the fame of 2 legendary dragons.

——In a sense, he guessed correctly.

Actually having close relations with the wise of the empire but not elevated to the level of being backed by the Ense Empire.

——Half correct and half incorrect, depending on whether Mayer would strike as Louis.

But now it seems, this Mayer not only knows the empire's new Jade Phoenix Mage but also has close ties with the one who is about to fall...

"Hiss, things are not looking good, Mayer is absolutely not just a cooperative partner of the Ense Empire, they might have reached deeper cooperation"

"Just like me with the Am Empire!"

"No, I'll personally visit the O5 Council later, I can't let the juniors mess around"

"Not only him having deeper cooperation with the Ense Empire than imagined."

"Carelessly targeting Jade Phoenix Mages is provoking Mr. Chi and two other Legendary Mages"

"Tsk, should I remind those people more to truly manage their juniors, or directly smack them against the wall!"

Louis was completely unaware that, unintentionally, he resolved a potential minor trouble.

Of course, now his attention was drawn to Mr. Chi above.

Just as Mr. Chi lightly tapped the long table once.

The venue instantly quieted down, everyone straightened their bodies, looking towards the three Legendary Jade Phoenix Mages.

"Now, let's talk about the challenges we need to overcome next year and the evil that needs to be eradicated as soon as possible."

"...Also, it's time to let some of you, along with the newcomers, see what we've sealed."

"Let you experience firsthand, the ultimate fear from the past."

"And understand why we sacrifice so much to maintain the seal."
