Chapter 1125: Making a move (please vote for the big chapter)

"It is suspected that Chaos believers have sneaked into Minter City. In order to help defend the city, let the mercenary groups of the two major consortiums stationed outside the north and south cities enter the city?"

Bright and gorgeous lights shine in the office, which is filled with various decorations and artworks, and also shines on the gorgeous desk inlaid with gems.

The man sitting behind the desk put the document in his hand on the table, rubbed his forehead, and sneered, "They might as well ask me to point a gun at myself, and then hand the handle of the gun to them, right - They have to load their guns."

"Mr. Lockett, two major consortiums sponsored our campaign foundation and promised..."

Standing in front of the desk, a figure wearing a pilled silk formal suit looked at the man behind the desk and spoke in a low voice.

"But I have allowed them to cross the fifty-kilometer security line and station themselves directly outside the city gate,"

Lockett put his hand on the table, stood up with a swipe, interrupted the formal figure's words, and stared coldly at the formal figure in front of him, "They still want to enter the city?"

The figure in formal attire trembled slightly and lowered his head.

Lockett stared at the figure in front of him, rubbed his forehead, sighed, and sat back on the chair, "Would you agree to this request if it were you?"

After hearing this question, the figure paused and stopped talking.

Jingle Bell--

At this time, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

Lockett reached out and answered the phone.

"Hey, it's so late, what's wrong? Who? Sauter? The FBI guy? What's he doing here?"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the information on the table. After a brief pause, he slowly said, "Let him in, come directly to my office."

After hanging up the phone, he raised his head, looked at the formal figure in front of him, waved his hand, "You go down first."

"yes!"

The formal figure nodded slightly and backed out of the office.

Lockett lowered his head and looked at the information in his hand.

······

A few minutes later, a man in black stopped at the door of the office with He Ao.

"Hello, before meeting the mayor, you need to put your weapons away."

However, the man in black did not open the door immediately. Instead, he looked at He Ao and stretched out his hand.

"This knife can't be too far away from me."

He Ao said softly.

However, he still stretched out his hand to unbuckle the scabbard.

"No."

There was a chuckle in the office, and then the thick office door opened naturally, "Mr. Sauter is from the FBI, there is no need to go through these procedures."

He Ao turned his head and saw the gorgeously decorated office through the open office door, as well as the gentle-looking middle-aged man sitting behind the exquisite desk.

"Please come in."

The man in black raised his hand, indicating that He Ao could enter the office.

He Ao walked in and looked at the scene behind the desk.

At this moment, the man who looked approachable and gentle had already stood up, and the wall behind him had turned into a wine cabinet filled with a dazzling array of fine wines.

He Ao looked at the figure and said softly, "Mr. Lockett."

"Mr. Sauter,"

Lockett was holding a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses. He poured a little wine into both glasses and looked at He Ao with a smile. "This is our first meeting. You are as heroic as the legend says." people."

He picked up a glass of wine and handed it to He Ao, "Now is not the time to talk about business. Can you take a break and have a drink?"

He Ao looked at the wine glass he handed over, stretched out his hand and took the glass, "Thank you."

He looked at Lockett and smiled, "If it's not time to talk about business, then what should we talk about?"

"You can talk about anything,"

Lockett took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "For example, what you saw in Irons, I have been around Minter City all my life, and I have never been to Irons."

"Does Mr. Lockett want to go?"

He Ao held the wine glass and smiled gently.

Hearing these words, Lockett was slightly startled. He looked up at He Ao, as if by accident, and smiled casually, "I want to go, of course I want to go. Who doesn't want to go to Irons?"

\u0026quot;I heard the Senator from the Senate,\u0026quot;

Howe said with a smile, "Everyone will have their own office in Irons, and most of the federal cabinet bureaucrats, even the vice president and president, come from the Senate."

"That's true, I've heard of it too."

Lockett also smiled and said, "The two senators from Minter City have a good relationship with me. We often get together to discuss Irons' matters."

"In one more year, Mr. Lockett's term will be over?"

He Ao did not continue the question just now, but asked with a slight smile while holding the wine glass.

"really,"

Lockett smiled, picked up the red wine and took a sip, "Mayor's job is not easy to do, it's easy to offend people, and the salary is not high, so you have a lot to do with less money."

He Ao lowered his head and took a sip of the fragrant red wine in the glass. "Does Mr. Lockett have any thoughts on re-election?"

There is no limit to the re-election of the mayor of Minter. This is Lockett's third term.

"I've been in this city for too long,"

Lockett walked to the wine cabinet and looked at the dense red wine. "Some people like me and hope that I can continue to work until I die. Some people don't like me and wish that I would die in office now."

He turned around, looked at He Ao, and said with a smile, "Actually, I'm also very worried about whether I should continue doing this. Mr. Sauter, do you have any suggestions?"

"Actually, I also have a lot of friends in Irons,"

He Ao picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile,

"I'm lucky enough to have met the President several times. However, my connections can only be used in Irons. If there are senators who want to enter the Federal Center, I can help introduce them. There is nothing I can do in Minter City. As an outsider, I can’t give Mr. Lockett any good advice.”

"Hahaha,"

Lockett laughed, "It is said that Mr. Sauter traveled to the east and west of the Federation and visited countless cities. Based on your knowledge, you must have your own opinions on Minter City's policies, but it doesn't matter."

"There aren't many good insights,"

He Ao smiled and said, "But there is one clumsy opinion."

"oh?"

Lockett seemed interested.

"Don't Mr. Lockett feel that Note Intelligence and West Steel have stretched their tentacles too far in this city?"

He Ao looked at the quiet city outside the office window and chuckled, "They have also sent the mercenary group outside Mingte City. I have seen many such things. Once the consortium sends the mercenary group in, When you go to a city, bad things often happen.”

"You mean, don't let the mercenary groups of the two major consortiums enter the city?"

Lockett narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the documents on the desktop without trace, and then smiled, "This is indeed a pertinent suggestion, and it is indeed worthy of serious consideration."

"Then I hope Mr. Lockett is 'clearly aware'."

He Ao raised his glass and smiled softly.

"I don't dare to say anything. I can only say that I will try my best to make Mingte City develop better."

Lockett smiled and raised his glass.

boom--

With a soft sound, their wine glasses clinked together.

--A few minutes later--

Lockett watched He Ao disappear into the corridor under the leadership of the man in black, and the smile on his face disappeared along with it.

He handed the glass and red wine to the waiter who walked in from the side, then sat back behind the desk and gently brushed his hand across the table.

The unfolded wine cabinet quickly folded and shrank, turning back into its original wall.

After a while, the man in formal attire from the beginning gently knocked on the office door and walked into the office.

He looked at Lockett and said respectfully, "Mr. Lockett, you called me?"

"The FBI's deputy chief of staff, Sauter, just arrived."

Lockett looked at the man in formal clothes and smiled, "He doesn't want the mercenary groups of the two major consortiums to enter the city."

Upon hearing this, the man in formal attire changed slightly.

Then, without waiting for the formal man to react, Lockett continued, "He offered me a bargaining chip. As long as I don't let the mercenary groups from the two major consortiums enter the city, he can help me introduce him after I retire to run for the Senate. Irons’ big shot.”

"Well, the FBI is just an organization under the Department of Justice. It has three deputy chiefs of staff alone,"

The man in formal attire hesitated for a moment and whispered, "He is a deputy chief of staff, and he doesn't know many big shots."

"I've seen his information,"

Lockett smiled and looked at the man in formal clothes, "He has a close relationship with the FBI Director and the current President, not to mention,"

He paused and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you sure the Department of Justice can control the FBI?"

"this,"

The man in formal attire swallowed, wiped the sweat from his forehead slightly, and defended, "I, I don't know much about the situation in Irons."

The entire office fell into silence for a moment. After a brief hesitation, the man in formal clothes carefully asked, "Are you planning to cooperate with that 'Sote' and completely reject the suggestions of the two major consortiums and not let their mercenaries Has the group entered the city?"

"What do you think?"

Lockett did not answer, but picked up the information on the table and asked with a smile.

"I,"

The man in formal clothes lowered his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said tremblingly, "This is something that you can decide."

"Okay, you can go back."

Lockett didn't say anything to answer, and directly waved his hand to see the guest off.

The man in formal attire froze. He didn't know why Lockett gave such an order, but he still nodded, "Yes."

Then he exited the office and closed the door.

Lockett lowered his head and continued to look at the information in his hand.

Click——

The small door on the side wall of the office opened, and a deep voice sounded in the silent office, "He doesn't seem to be very loyal to you."

"He was originally a dog raised by Yin Yin Smart, and he was just placed next to me."

Lockett held the information in his hand and stretched.

"If he leaves this office no more than ten meters away, he will call his real master to report the situation just now.

"He will tell his master that I have been persuaded by Sauter and am willing to completely ban the mercenary group from entering the city.

“Then his masters would meet to discuss how to deal with it.

"At the latest tomorrow morning, someone will contact me and give me a truly 'reasonable' offer."

He sneered and threw the information in his hand on the table, "What the hell, just throw in two or three bones and you want to send me away and treat me like a wild dog on the roadside?"

He rubbed his eyebrows slightly with his hand, "The bastards in the consortium are becoming more and more unruly."

Then, he seemed to remember something and chuckled, "But that Sauter came at the right time, but I don't have much leverage, otherwise I could have raised the price a little more."

The figure who had just spoken stood quietly beside Lockett without speaking.

He knew that his 'employer' just wanted a 'tree hole' to pour out his emotions and games, and did not need any reaction from the 'tree hole'.

"correct,"

Lockett looked up at the figure beside him, "What do you think of the strength of FBI Deputy Chief of Staff Sauter?"

"very dangerous."

A low voice sounded slowly.

"Is he strong?"

Lockett was stunned and nodded slightly, "It is said that he is the only C-level among the three deputy chiefs of staff of the FBI. Is he still somewhat capable?"

"He's not strong,"

The deep voice spoke again, "But his knife is dangerous."

Under Lockett's slightly puzzled gaze, the figure slowly added, "However, his willpower is very strong. When he was talking to you just now, his body was suffering from almost fatal injuries."

"What?"

Hearing this, Lockett was stunned for a moment, and then said with a little surprise, "But when we chatted, he acted and behaved like a normal person."

"So, he has a strong willpower and a lot of control over his body,"

The deep voice said slowly, "He controlled his facial and body muscles to prevent himself from appearing abnormal in front of you."

"Can you beat him?"

Hearing the figure's words, Lockett muttered.

"With that knife, it might take a while,"

The figure said calmly, "Without that knife, he doesn't deserve to stand in front of me."

"My safety still depends on you."

Lockett breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"It is my responsibility."

The figure said in a low voice.

Then he turned around and walked back into the secret door.

Lockett lowered his head slightly, rubbed his brows, and seemed to be deep in thought.

——

Mayor's Palace side entrance

Under the gaze of two men in black, He Ao walked out of the side door and looked up at the night sky above his head that was covered by lights.

Before coming to Minter City, 'Saote' conducted an in-depth investigation on Minter City Mayor Lockett.

Greedy, vicious, and full of ambition for power.

‘Go further in Irons and enter the center of the federation’ may indeed be able to impress him, but the bargaining chip He Aoneng can offer cannot impress him.

Compared to He Ao's verbal promises, he is definitely still more willing to believe in the two major consortiums that have been cooperating for a long time.

The 'promise' given by He Ao will only become a bargaining chip between him and the two major consortiums.

He Ao knew this before he came, and he never thought he could convince Lockett.

The purpose of his trip was to give 'Lockett' a 'chip' so that Lockett could enter the 'negotiation' phase.
