Blackstone Code

Mike is a "gold digger". He is different from those real gold diggers who run around. He is a gold digger who specializes in the gold digger business.

Not every country in the world is as developed and advanced as the Federation. Some countries are even very backward. This is simply incredible!

Just like the country called Suger where he is now.

This country has a population of more than 20 million, which is not a lot. Their technological level is also very backward, equivalent to the federation more than ten or twenty years ago.

When Mike stood on this land, that heartfelt sense of superiority couldn't stop growing from his heart, and his whole body was about to be full and overflowing in an instant!

The locals do not have frequent contact with the international community. It is relatively backward when they come here, and there are no products that are particularly worthy of people's attention.

Secondly, the distance is relatively long. Even if some goods are cheaper than elsewhere, the cost will increase exponentially after being shipped out, and it may be more expensive than buying at the place of sale.

However, there are still some federal people making a living here. They always believe that various treasures, gold mines, and oil are hidden in certain parts of this country.

As long as they can find these things, they can live on money for the rest of their lives.

This is a gold digger. He may be poor all his life, but as long as he seizes one opportunity, he can surpass 93% of people.

Every once in a while, Mike will ask someone to deliver some goods from the state or nearby places. These goods are mainly sold to local wealthy people and federal people.

By the way, he can also send back some of the purchased goods, such as some precious metal currencies, as well as some complete leather, spices, etc. These are very popular goods among the middle and upper classes of the Federation.

In order to ensure that there would be no problems with his business, Mike took his younger brother and some relatives to do business here.

First of all, they are foreigners here. If there are not many people, they will be easily bullied by the locals. Don't think that because this place is backward, people here must be afraid of foreigners.

Sometimes they don't care at all about the consequences of attacking foreigners and only think about some immediate benefits.

During this time, they acquired a lot of leather and fodder, as well as some gold and silver.

These things are not like bulk transactions, which require a lot of containers to transport. For example, most of the gold can be taken away with just a personal ship ticket.

Leather, spices too, easy to transport.

In order to ensure that there would be no problems with the shipment, they asked some relatives and helpers to escort the goods back to the Federation.

But here, only Mike and his brother were left.

The two had just delivered the goods to the ship. When they stood on the dock and watched the ship go away, Mike's heart suddenly trembled.

It was like... being pinched by someone so that it could not jump. With a bang, the body lost all its strength in that moment.

He covered his chest with one hand, frowned and lowered his head.

His brother immediately reached out to support him, "What's wrong with you?"

He felt that today was a bit strange, and he felt a little uneasy, "It's nothing, maybe the food he ate is not clean, and his stomach is a little uncomfortable."

If you were to ask those currently traveling around the world if there is anything they find difficult to face, then it is most likely the different eating habits of each country.

Taste, seasonings, and eating habits are definitely a challenge for the people of the Federation who consider themselves civilized people.

Mike's brother smiled, the local food in Suge could never be processed cleanly.

It's hard to imagine how the natives managed to survive. Perhaps they evolved powerful stomachs.

"Then let's go faster..."

Mike's store is located in the core business district of the city.

It is said to be a commercial district, but in fact, this city is a market. There is a circle of scattered buildings, and inside are stalls. Every day, people bring their own things to sell from all directions.

Of course, compared to those hawkers without fixed stalls, Mike bought a house here without spending much money and started a business.

Considering safety issues, he and his brother specially hired some craftsmen to re-strengthen the house and add steel bars and steel plates to key parts.

As long as you don't open the door, no one from outside can rush in.

He returned to the shop and closed the door. At this time, the uneasiness lingering around him gradually dissipated, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

What he didn't know was that he had been targeted for a long time, or that this store had been targeted.

They were targeted by a group of local gang members. In the eyes of the federal people, this place may be very poor and socially backward, but to the locals, they think this is an ordinary society and an ordinary living environment.

They have lived here since childhood and cannot see the "backwardness" of the foreign population. Of course, they cannot see the "development" and "advancedness" of other countries among the foreign population.

So it's not surprising that there are gangs here.

There is a gang that is eyeing Mike's store. The wealth of the federal people makes these gang members who cannot be restrained by law and morality go crazy with jealousy.

It's just that their security work is usually very strict, and there are federal people in the store and next door. Even if the local gang members are very jealous of Mike's family, there is no good way to get rid of this meaty bone.

But some time ago, they found an opportunity.

Men like Mike who are doing business in foreign countries, far away from their wives and families, sometimes feel a little empty and lonely.

It's their little secret to find cheap local men of the opposite sex to solve their physiological problems here. In fact, it can't be considered a secret. Everyone knows it, including people in their family.

It’s just that in this era, money means everything. If you have money, you will be happy. If you don’t have money, you will only be sad. So the women who stayed in the Federation didn’t say anything and just pretended that they didn’t know.

Some time ago, Mike's brother had an affair with a local girl who had just grown up. This scene was discovered by gang members who had been watching them.

They saw this as an opportunity, a chance to make their dreams come true.

Early this morning, they had focused on the two brothers. At this moment, those people were hiding outside, but the two people in the room had no idea at all.

According to the rules set by Mike, once someone escorts the ship and there are not enough manpower here, the business will stop, and only the federal people's business will be done during the day, not the local business.

The purpose of this is to prevent the locals from thinking about their ideas.

This rule has protected them all this time, and everyone follows it.

At night, before it was dark, the two brothers closed the door, inserted the bolt, and locked it from the inside.

"What's the sound?" Mike, who was packing his things, suddenly stopped. He heard some noises coming from above his head.

The younger brother who was packing things aside said casually, "Maybe it's a cat?"

Mike didn't think much about it. There were indeed many wild cats and dogs in the area, so he continued to pack his things.

After the shop was packed up and the two of them lay on the bed, they couldn't sleep for a while.

Although the usual work is very busy, at least it does not close until eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

It's just past five o'clock and it's closed now. There's no TV here and there's nothing for entertainment. Time seems to be going against them and it's getting slower and slower.

The younger brother, who was tossing and turning in bed and unable to sleep, suddenly thought of the girl he had just been with for a short time.

He is already in his thirties and almost forty years old. He also has a family in the Federation, a wife, and children. It cannot be said to be a happy life. They just live together for the sake of responsibilities that he himself does not understand.

This situation is very common in the Federation. Men and women have met several times, and they can't tell whether they like or dislike them.

The man just wants to vent his excess energy without spending any extra money. He just wants to have a hot meal after coming back from a tiring day, and he doesn't need to take care of some trivial matters at home.

What the woman wants is just a man who can have a legitimate job. He doesn't need to be handsome. As long as he can support himself and occasionally spend a little money as he pleases, that's enough.

They became a couple without even the slightest feeling for each other.

Many important things in life have been accomplished without talking about likes and dislikes.

Get married, have children...

My younger brother is also such a person. It's not a question of whether he likes him or not. It's just a responsibility that he doesn't know why he has to bear.

Lying in bed unable to sleep, he began to think about the girl from not long ago. It was a kind of heartbeat and a feeling of love.

When he was with the girl, he seemed to be back in high school, happy because of the girl's joy, sad because of the girl's sadness...

His fingers gently stroked the wall. The slightly uneven wall was far less smooth than the girl's skin. There was an indescribable mean smile on his face, as if he was remembering something.

It's great to be young...

He sighed, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still.

He turned over and sat on the edge of the bed, patting his head.

Mike, who was sleeping on the bed next to him, glanced sideways at him and quickly looked away.

The younger brother asked with a flattering smile, "Can I go out?"

Mike said nothing.

He asked again, "Can I get out?"

Mike was a little irritated, "It's getting dark and it will be very dangerous outside!"

Perhaps the feelings that had been suppressed for twenty years broke out at this moment. The younger brother did not give up the idea, but thought about fighting for it.

"There are still many federal people active outside. They hung out in the bar until late at night before going home. No one did anything to them!"

Mike also sat up and looked at his brother seriously, "That's because they are poorer than the locals. You will get nothing if you hurt them, and they will be targeted by gold diggers."

"But we are different. We have this store and a business that is not big but not small either. Do you know that there are many people outside who are trying to rob us?"

He looked at his brother, "You know, you just have some boring emotions covering your eyes, you have to open them."
