Steel steam and flame

Wimmer sent Cassia back to the rented house. On the way, we couldn't avoid talking about what happened just now.

"Mr. Soriato, Evan has this kind of character. Please allow me to apologize to you on his behalf." Such sincere words made Cassia think that what happened not long ago was not an act. But in the end, he classified it as a test that the two had colluded with for a long time. Whether it was not obvious or his excellent acting skills were well hidden, Cassia thought clearly that it had nothing to do with him, so he gave up thinking in this regard.

"It's not important. Just what I said just now, Mr. Weimer, can you regard it as a requirement? The limo must be good. It doesn't need defense. It only needs strong power and speed. It will be scrapped after running more than two hours." It doesn't matter." Cassia replied, and Wimmer has been testing other aspects, especially about the overall team behind Cassia.

Until Cassia got out of the car, he didn't get the result he wanted. But I still got something like a guarantee.

"Don't worry about the air defense base. It's the same as the imperial surgeons. As competitors, we have been planning this plan for several months. All preparations have been completed. We are just waiting for a suitable opportunity. We are in the same situation as you. "Cassia said when getting off the car, "If you have anything to do, use the communicator to contact us. Of course it is important. Mr. Wimmer, while you are preparing, we will also make the necessary adjustments to meet our competitors again. .”

Recalling what he had just said, after standing behind the window and watching Wimer leave through the curtain, Cassia sat back at the table and took out the communicator to contact Waters.

"..., about 80% has been paid in full, and the rest is the amount agreed to be paid by both parties in the contract later. Based on a rough calculation, not counting the 20%, the profit during this period is also It’s about 300 million holy coins. And there is a lot of land in barren and remote areas. We have made money anyway. After all, the king’s power has contributed a lot to the facilities and construction of the factory.”

"That's good, remember we are businessmen." Cassia imitated Ye Jielin and spoke like this. This time she really felt the joy of making money. Numbers will become largely unimportant in the future. What makes people obsessed is often knowing that this business has made money, and made a lot of money.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you and Delya in advance." Then he continued, "It should be very recently. I will allocate an amount of about 500 million holy coins to the factories managed by the two of you. Will it have a big impact?"

"No, the orders from the Kingdom of Chir will decrease rapidly in the future. Unless we can find another customer like the Kingdom of Chir immediately, the arms and ammunition business will soon become normal in the next time." Wo. Tes's answer reassured Cassia a little. The investment from Tavel and Trivikan would be even greater, but Cassia was confident that the benefits they would bring would far exceed this amount of money.

On the third day after returning to the gathering town, a message came from Trivikan, saying that the people who were going to be introduced to Cassia had been contacted, but the meeting required the other party to have time to spare. Ask Cassia if time is available at any time, and he can make appropriate arrangements so that both parties can meet and talk at the right time and in the right mood.

"I am no longer in the city. I have taken over a small business, which needs to be taken seriously." When asked where he was now, Cassia replied, "Mr. Trevikan, thank you. Tavel Has the lady left here?" Still pretending to be concerned.

"I left the day before yesterday, and I was still in this small country. I said that I had finished handling business matters, and if I had the chance, I would come back to the city and go to that restaurant to sit there. I made it clear, and it counts as experience at my age. No matter how important things are at that time, you have to make time. Seeing that you are quite proficient in Imperial and Yuanhai Common Mandarin, I guess you must have the idea of ​​​​developing in these two countries. This opportunity is comparable to that in the near future. The few people you are going to meet are much better. Well,,, if you work harder in the middle, you can pay for your results in a few years."

Cassia adjusted herself at the right time: "Isn't this good?" in a tone that was a bit unforgiving.

"What's wrong? You tell me, I'll listen."

After waiting for a few seconds and not receiving a reply from Cassia, Terry Weikang continued: "Boy, this is an opportunity to save you from working hard for ten years, or even decades. It's now, and I'm a little unclear about what you have. Not good. You know, in a giant country, people like you are not said to be at the bottom, but they are also the kind of people who can grab tens of thousands of things if they want. This opportunity is given to other people, and I don’t know them yet. How will you fight for it? How come you are not willing to let it go?"

"You are still too young, kid. Since you have the idea of ​​going to giant countries for development, have you ever understood the conditions in these countries? Do you really think that the environment there is the same as this small country, and there are small arms traders like you? Living space? There are several fixed forces in each place that are dividing this interest. As long as you feel that you have the idea of ​​​​getting involved, their joint attack is waiting for you. "

"If you were really Miss Tavel's dead friend, you would be qualified to say, 'Isn't this good?' But as for you, the room for improvement can be described as huge."

"When I was young, I didn't seize such an opportunity. I still regret it when I think about it now. If I had grasped it firmly, now I would be at least one of the leaders of a big family. How could I still stay in this small country. In the decades I have been an arms dealer, ever since my business gradually improved, I have never had a good rest. Even though I am half asleep every night, I still worry about the day when another arms dealer or my former enemy will appear. Come here, and myself and the house will be blown to rubble." The second half of the words was Trevicorn, that is, General Pullman's true thoughts. When Li Suman came to him, he had never been in a relaxed mood.

"There's still more time, think about it yourself." Maybe Pullman couldn't say these words anymore, so he cut off the contact without waiting for Cassia's reply.

Cassia pressed the communicator button, exhaled and laughed. What Li Weikang said was correct. He agreed with this, but it was not very practical for him.

,,,,,,

"Mr. Lisham, do you really think you are qualified to negotiate terms with us?" Danielle's face was full of helplessness. The doctor's assistant who was not dead finally regained consciousness today. When his condition stabilized, what he brought to her was this. As a result, "The energy it takes to treat you well is enough to offset the value of you painting a new face for Charlotte. All your patience is wasted. I hope you understand it as soon as possible."

"Except for me, you can't find anyone who knows the new face of Charlotte. The others are all senior managers in the region and there is no way you can catch him."

After hearing this, Daniel obviously lost confidence. McDonald was still upstairs waiting for her to go back and report the results. She turned around and sat at the table behind her. The two people next to her looked at each other, pulled an iron table over and placed it in front of Lisam, and placed a silver box on it with a thud.

There was still white smoke for cooling when it was opened. One person took out a bottle of red liquid, took out a syringe, and with skillful operation, completely injected it into Lisam's body in less than half a minute.

"The red 311 type of symbiotic bacteria has been improved to become a boarding type. I hope you like it, Mr. Lisham. Well, you still have about half an hour to think about it. As a physician's assistant, you should understand the characteristics of boarding bacteria. very clear."

"If I die, you will lose the opportunity to know Charlotte's new face!"

No one paid attention to it. The three of them looked at Lisam indifferently. Within a few words, his skin started to turn red, just like the name of the bacteria. There was no pain, and Lisham began to sweat profusely, suddenly looking much, much tired.

The effect seems to be to make people clearly feel that they are being rapidly consumed by the host bacteria, which is equivalent to knowing clearly how they are slowly dying. After more than five minutes, Lisham's limbs began to tremble slightly. Facing the three people who looked at what was happening to him coldly like sculptures, he finally couldn't hold on anymore.

"I am willing to personally identify who Charlotte is!"

His body seemed to be hollowed out bit by bit. He felt that his vitality had been changed into a clear number after being injected with this bacteria, and he saw with his own eyes that the number was decreasing with time. There was still no response, and when his lips began to twitch, Lisam's words were filled with tears and he agreed.

Only then did Daniel smile. The person next to him walked over and injected another medicine into Lisam's body: "It's for relief. I'll give this to you after you finish drawing the portrait." He flicked the other medicine in his hand with his fingers. A glass tube, that is the corresponding release potion.

But the final result was that after Lisham drew a dozen portraits as required, Daniel's men put the disarming potion on the ground in front of him, crushed it with their feet, and pulled out a pistol and shot him through the knee. and elbows. The three of them left the room without looking back and closed the door. Leasham was left alone shouting in the room, then squirmed from the bed to the floor and crawled towards the potion.

"Remember to deal with it, otherwise it won't be good if it spreads." Before the stairs, Danielle did not forget to remind, "Also prepare everything. It should be departure time tonight. I don't want to find out what is missing after I go there. Then The doctor has some skills and can get a lot of strictly controlled things, and the power behind him is very mysterious."

With the assurance of the two men, Daniel went to the room where Macdonald was resting and handed over a dozen portraits.

"Then quickly process it into a finished product that can be copied, so that every member will remember this face." McDonald looked at it and said, "According to the plan, you will lead the team to set off tonight to support Patrick. He There is an internal war in the country you are in. Remember to help out when you have time. If it succeeds, it will become the largest cooperation base in the region. At that time, it will contact the surrounding cooperation bases to form a network. Not to mention the benefits it will bring, the internal cooperation within the family will The evaluation will also be higher. Before Ovelia’s matter is settled, if you want to surpass the other four, you will have to find some resources to use on your own.”

"Be careful. Patrick said there are strong people on the other side, so don't be careless. I have to wait here for Mavis to come and meet me. I will follow you in about three days."

Two days later, at the station in the city where Cassia had been, Patrick had been waiting in the waiting room for nearly two hours.

The announcement of the arrival of the train came over the loudspeaker, and a few minutes later, when Patrick stood up, Danielle was already standing behind him.

"Two hundred and thirty-two people, four batches, have you arranged the connection? Lord MacDonald is going to meet Mavis, and the large force must stay for protection."

Patrick looked up and down at Danielle, who was wearing a long skirt, and praised her before answering her question. With Patrick driving the car, and after putting away their luggage, the two drove to the city near the mine, where they stopped in front of an ordinary residence. Crono, and two of Patrick's surviving men were inside.

"Since Charlotte left the Kingdom of Bolandon until now, with the help of the forces here, officials from the king's side and people from some powerful families have conducted investigations. I have carefully compared the portraits in the past two days, and only one of them matches. This information records He is said to be the Army Logistics Minister who has been appointed for several years.”

"It's almost certain that he is Charlotte. He brought the captain's order, right? What should I say?"

"The orders of the Knights of the Round Table are orders. There are several people executing them together, but they are responsible for different directions. If half of the people complete the task, we will complete it. If less than half of the people complete the task, the task will be considered a failure. Your Excellency has said , he is very interested in the forces behind Charlotte. There is nothing that cannot achieve a win-win situation, it just depends on the limits of each other's trade-offs."

"Then arrest him first? If you come, there will be no accidents." Patrick shook his head as if understanding.

"First make sure that the identity is indeed what you said." Daniel directly rejected Patrick's opinion, "Just let people keep an eye on it. Before that, I will help you investigate which knight attendant the king's imperial surgeon is. This is as important as Charlotte’s matter.”

"After the last time, the other party completely disappeared. I think it is better to focus on Charlotte, or the internal war here. Of course, when you come, you will be the commander here. I just suggest it."

"Mr. Soriato, the time is Friday next week, and we need to destroy all air defense facilities from 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. the night before yesterday. Bombers and combat aircraft will take off immediately after the air defense facilities are disabled." The quietness of the gathering town On the path, Cassia and Wimmer looked at the large fields of weeds covered with gray and black dust around them, as if they were seeing a large mountain fire that would burn in five days.
