Before Ai Luo could say anything, Coco on the side puffed out her cheeks and shouted loudly: "Shameless! Brother President will not want a bitch like you!"

Margot snorted coldly, then leaned on the staff and assumed a slightly enchanting posture. As the morning sun shone down, her somewhat bifurcated skirt opened up, revealing her big white legs: "Oh? I'm not like that.

I think, after all, as long as you are a man, you can’t stop that demand, right? President Arrow.”

Coco still looked unconvinced, but at this moment she suddenly turned her head and stared at her president, as if she lacked confidence.

Seeing Coco's expression, Ai Luo couldn't help but feel a little funny.

He shook his head slightly and said: "I don't want your company. To be honest, I have never thought about letting this staff leave our Mermaid Song. After all, it can be regarded as the property of Mermaid Song, and

Furthermore, this is still the property of the Holy See of Light. We, Mermaid Song, are just keeping it for you. Do you want to take it away? Haha, I’m afraid no conditions will help.”

Hearing what Ai Luo said, Coco's confidence immediately increased! She nodded vigorously and turned her head to face the coquettish woman again.

But the corner of Margaux's mouth now twitched involuntarily. She hummed, secretly mustered up her energy, and continued to send magic power into the staff of light.

But no matter how much she encouraged, the staff could never return to the state of being in tune with her mind as before. Let alone accepting any of her own magic power, it seemed to be somewhat resistant.

Without the help of the Staff of Light, Margaux knew that it would be impossible to escape from the encirclement of Mermaid Song just by relying on her own power to shine light with her hands.

She had no choice but to sigh helplessly, insert the light staff into the mud, open her hands and step back slightly, saying: "Okay, okay! I'll surrender to you! I lost, now it's OK

Alright? I’ll give you the staff in exchange! Can you let me go?!”

Arrow winked at Brad, and the big man nodded, stepped forward, pulled out the staff of light, and stepped back.

Seeing that the staff was confiscated, Margaux's eyes were full of unwillingness and helplessness. But she also knew that it was useless to say anything now, so she could only endure the sigh silently, lowered her head, and turned around to want to

leave.

But at this moment, Ai Luo waved his hand again, signaling his members to surround the woman again.

Seeing that her way out was blocked again, Margo was slightly startled!

She quickly turned her head and looked at Ai Luo with an incredulous expression. Similarly, although other guild members also followed suit, there was also some doubt in their eyes.

"What are you doing? I've returned everything to you! Why don't you let me go!"

With his hands behind his back and a smile on his face, Arrow slowly walked to Brad and took the staff.

The staff of light is still as dim as before.

But that's not important, what really matters is what he says next.

"Miss Margaux, it's not that I don't want to let you go, but I have something I want to talk to you about."

Margo gritted her teeth and clenched her fists slightly. But due to the pressure from the adventurers around her, she did not dare to resist at all.

"After you leave here, where do you plan to go? You don't have any money, right? Even if you plan to sell it all the way to pay for travel after leaving Pelican Town, you still need some basic funds for travel, right? Do you have these?

"

Ai Luo's tone was very understated, with a hint of joking.

But Margaux over there seemed a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and looked at herself. The white gauze skirt she was wearing had become dirty due to all kinds of hard work that night. The package she was carrying out

His clothes had also been thrown into the underground passage, torn to pieces by those fangs and flesh.

It can be said that she is really penniless now. She may not even know where to go for breakfast today.

The only thing that was valuable was the pearl necklace hanging around her neck.

"Hmph! I want you to take care of it! I...of course have my own methods! For example, I still have this piece of jewelry to sell..."

Originally, Margaux's tone seemed relatively strong. But when she mentioned that she wanted to pawn off her last piece of jewelry, her voice softened significantly.

Of course, Ai Luo would not let go of this moment of weakness of his negotiating opponent, and immediately followed him, saying: "We are human beings, and everything humans do will have a cost and benefit."

"When we humans feel that the costs we pay are completely unable to earn satisfactory benefits or we feel that we are losing money, then we will not do such a thing. Even if we do, we will feel very uncomfortable, as if we have eaten something.

It's as disgusting as a fly, and I can't let it go in my heart for a long time."

"And in my opinion, Miss Margaux, you are now planning to do something that requires huge costs but almost no... no, there is no benefit at all. Yes, that's right, Miss Margaux, you

If you leave now, you will lose money, and it will be a huge loss."

Margaux's hand was gently stroking her pearl necklace. After hearing Ai Luo's words, her expression looked a little confused, but more of a kind of vigilance. She took a step back and let herself

Trying to keep a certain distance from the short president, he said: "What on earth do you want to say? Where did I lose money? I don't have anything to lose at all!"

Ai Luo shook his head, with an expression of pity and regret in his eyes, and said with a smile: "No, you lost. As I said just now, everyone will measure the cost when doing anything.

Just like a person who is about to die of thirst sees a well in front of him, he will never give up the well and move on thinking that there may be ice-cold lemonade further away."

"As for Miss Margaux, everything we have experienced together just now, all the sacrifices made in that dark underground passage, the blood shed, the injuries suffered, all these adventures, are just as important to you.

It’s all a cost.”

"Then let's take a look now. After taking such a risk and paying a huge safety cost, did Miss Margot receive any benefits?"

Ai Luo paused slightly to give Margo a little time to think. However, this kind of thinking time was enough in just a few seconds. He had no intention of letting this woman really think everything through——

"In my opinion, not at all."

"After spending so much time, energy, and even doing so many things at the risk of her own life, what Miss Margaux wants now is to leave immediately. So naturally, you have nothing to do in this matter.

Get any profit! From the perspective of me, an incompetent economics graduate, this is a huge loss-making business.”

Buffy was panting in Brad's pocket, trying to recover the magic power she had spent in the battle. However, she heard mutterings outside for a long time, and felt that Brad hadn't moved for a long time, so she couldn't help but take a look from her partner's pocket.

Climbing out, he looked at Arrow over there, then at Margaux, and then asked Brad: "What's going on? What is the president doing?"

Brad raised his finger and shushed, saying, "Stop talking, the president is lying."

Over there, Margot tilted her head and looked at Ai Luo as if she had heard some strange remarks that she had never heard before. As a girl who had not received any higher education since she was a child, she knew only a few people.

Of course, it is impossible to understand the knowledge of costs and benefits in economics in just one word. I just feel that I have been persuaded by this short president? However, why does this kind of persuasion always feel a bit strange?

"You said I...lost? Well...well, if you insist on thinking so, I did not get any reward after risking my life to help you kill that monster. In this way, I am indeed a loser.

Yes. So what are you going to do? Pay me?"

Ai Luo laughed, as if he had heard something very funny, shook his head and said: "Money is always within the reach of one's own force. Miss Margaux, do you think you have the force to use it now?"

Do I get any iron coins in return? This is a mistake. This mistake is the same as the reason why you were swept away by Count Ruiying before. All your assets are owned by the money that exceeds the reach of your fists.

.”

Margo seemed a little anxious. She snorted and said loudly: "So! What exactly do you want to say?"

Seeing that Margaux was anxious, Ai Luo became even more calm. He clapped his hands gently and said with a smile: "Are you angry? If you are angry, it means that you are also aware that you have lost money, right? You are

After working hard, we were not able to get any reward. But we, Mermaid Song, got a stone sword after this adventure. Although we also suffered some losses in this adventure, these losses

It’s also within the acceptable range.”

"So, Miss Margot, have you ever thought about trying to make some profit from this adventure? Even the smallest profit is better than having no profit at all."

Margot bit her lower lip gently. She was a little annoyed at this man who always looked at her with a playful smile, but seemed to have no interest in her body and face. She said with a bit of resentment: "So, you

What do you want from me?"
