Steel steam and flame

It was around eight o'clock in the evening when we returned to the family, and the sky was completely dark. He read some of the information collected by Lyle and recorded everything that happened during his absence. He stopped about a third of the way through. After drinking a glass of wine, he closed his eyes and leaned back on his chair while coordinating other information.

This has been my practice for many years, not sure if it works for others. The Hill family itself is famous for being agents and assassins. The blood of the family members has similar elements to some extent, and the environment in which they grew up later also had a huge impact. They are excellent in performances and various disguises. Sometimes in order to hide themselves, changing their identity is an ability that they need to practice continuously as they grow.

Therefore, I am very good at putting myself in someone else's shoes, that is, bringing my own spiritual feelings to the target person as much as possible through limited information and data, so as to simulate the target person, obtain more reasonable inferences and analysis, and master the current goals. With more accurate information about the characters, it is possible to predict possible next directions of action to a certain extent. The rest is to rely on the influence of human factors - which can be regarded as hypnotic mental suggestions - to allow the prey to choose the direction that is most beneficial to itself.

He is very good at doing this and loves doing it. It is also feasible to say that it is an important activity in his daily life. He wanted to find out the current general status of the characters he was paying attention to and prepare for the next action plan.

Two or three hours had passed since he opened his eyes again. He walked to the window and stood still. After about ten minutes, he sat back on the chair and continued his daily routine.

,,,,,,

The area of ​​Samsung College has become relatively deserted, with most students choosing to return to their respective family groups. While Cassia used the library of the military school to learn more knowledge, she also took time to practice her basic abilities with Selmer.

Seeing that a week had passed, Cassia chose to leave the school one afternoon, packed several of Perkinz's books and other things in the rented house in Manoma, and came to the Imperial History School.

After checking around for a few times, I still felt like someone was hiding there. It may not necessarily be the person used to monitor Shako, Cassia thought, the history school is definitely not as good as the military school and the seminary, after all, the nature is completely different. But there are still some people worth paying attention to.

He borrowed a communication machine nearby to contact Shaco. After Cassia paid a stranger to hand over the book to Shaco, she returned to the villa base and met with Delya. Recently, several preparations have been made to improve the plan, and the factory here in Manoma is one of them. Many people know that the industry gained in exchange for solid red mercury is tied to them.

Delya brought some news, all related to Waters.

"With the help of quality and low prices, transactions quickly expanded in the Chil Kingdom. Taking this opportunity, Waters also began to contact higher-level forces. He wanted to obtain more reliable orders and attract the Chil Kingdom. Investment from local forces will speed up the construction of factories there. The price is that in the future, investors will be given priority in providing goods at lower prices. Now that the factory in Manoma has been restored, in addition to a few old customers within the empire, the supply Quantity will soon be equal.”

"In addition, there are large and small battles happening all the time inside and outside the Chil Kingdom. Compared with the Empire, the security is much worse. Our entry took away many people's business, and the temporary base was jointly attacked several times by some small workshop owners. , three of the people he brought died. Waters could only spend money to hire a lot of mercenaries to help, and barely got relief. But judging from the voice when contacting him, the pressure there was great. Maybe among those mercenaries There are many people who have their own ideas.”

Having said this, Delya stopped and looked at Cassia: "My idea is, firstly, to send more people there, so there is no need to worry about trust. Secondly, let the knight commander Mr. Hessler go to help. I think the environment there is He will like it very much. As long as it lasts for a period of time, after contacting the local powerful forces in the Qil Kingdom, relying on their background strength, it will become much safer. The internal and external chaos has left everything lacking there, except for the loss of jobs. There is no need to worry about the labor force, the labor cost is worthy of the goods we sell at low prices."

"I will contact Hessler, but don't have too high expectations. He has important matters there recently." Cassia replied, "You can just make decisions about factory and business matters. It's just a reminder that our power and their In comparison, it is not strong, it can even be said to be weak. Although it is just a small country with continuous internal and external wars. But don't imagine that we can change the situation there by our entry. Once you put yourself in and cross the line, it will be very difficult. It’s hard to guarantee a safe escape.”

"Waters and I used to be people who have been in the dark world and gray areas all year round. Please rest assured, leader, we clearly know that we are just businessmen who settled there. After making enough money, We will choose the right time to withdraw. We will definitely not be able to stand on a firm footing. We will either be torn apart by the merger of forces within the Qil Kingdom, or swallowed up by the forces that protect us. We have guessed this outcome a long time ago."

"That's okay." Cassia breathed a sigh of relief, "I asked you to come here this time because there is something very important that needs to be done."

Delya listened quietly and left the Brino area. This was the first time she felt such a commanding tone from Cassia.

"I will abandon the factory here in Manoma, and the remaining time will only be a few months. During this period, while producing and developing, please also quietly transport important machines away by replacement or transfer in an orderly manner. As long as You can hide it carefully and develop in the areas around Manoma. Of course, I have no objection if you choose to sell them off. I will give you a specific time soon, as long as we let others know before that that these factories have nothing to do with us. , it will be completed if the boss is completely changed."

"You should know what I want to express, right?" Cassia asked.

"Turn completely into darkness?" Delia tried to ask.

"I have this idea, but the result must be cleaner than it is. Completely draw a clear line with several factories in Manoma, and I think even those old customers will have to be abandoned in the end. Between you and me Between you and the factory, you must create a gap artificially. It looks like a gecko. It can cut off its tail in dangerous moments and leave no traces. Few people know the connection between you and the factory. The relationship between you and the factory must also be like this. ensure safety."

"I know." Delia nodded with a thoughtful expression. Moving on to other things - that batch of jewelry was recently designed and processed by an outsourcing company, and all were sold to several large jewelers in Manoma. The money obtained was immediately used to purchase raw materials. The daily operation of nearly thirty factories in two areas was indeed not an easy task.

Afterwards, the two of them simply filled their stomachs with the long-lasting food in the refrigerator and left here separately.

Delya opened the wooden fence door of the garden in front of the house and looked at Cassia who turned away with her head in her mouth.

"Captain, are you protecting us?" A question with a clear answer. Seeing Cassia standing there all of a sudden, Delya sighed with a smile and shook her head, but she thought of Cassia when she first met in Brino. The changes were indeed great, but some things could not be destroyed by the simple erosion of time, she thought. The "feeling of uselessness" that Waters often talked about arose in his heart.

Cassia turned her head and glanced at Delya, then walked towards the corner of the street: "It's almost time, go back quickly, and pay attention to safety on the road."
