Abel is really not a braggart. In the past two years, he has been here and there and has really withheld a lot of good things.
Smuggling arms itself is a huge profit, so every time he keeps a part of the goods for himself, it's not too much.
And even Doflamingo knew about this kind of thing, but he just didn't bother to care about him.
At most, when someone comes to complain, they will call him over, give him a few words of 'preaching', and then let him go without any pain.
On the contrary, people who file complaints will basically die ugly in the end.
As time went by, naturally no one would bother Abel because of this 'little thing'.
Abel felt that he was quite successful in portraying this 'greedy image'.
Because people with more obvious shortcomings are easier to control. On the contrary, it is those who have no desire for anything and are the most difficult to deal with and the most uneasy.
Doflamingo is not afraid of your greed. As long as you don't go too far and don't cross the red line, you'll get a kickback and be given less cannons and dozens of guns. That's nothing!
Therefore, Abel has always been very arrogant and greedy in the family, and he especially likes to eat, especially all kinds of delicacies.
When this reputation spreads, naturally countless people will try their best to curry favor with him.
Abel also ate a lot of good things because of this, which pushed the progress bar of the evolution of gourmet cells forward a lot. Although he has not yet reached the stage of evolving again, he has made progress.
This time he happened to make use of all the hidden weapons.
Although the high-tech weapons developed by Gaji are powerful, they are too expensive and complicated to produce, and are destined to be impossible to equip every clone soldier. Therefore, most cannon fodder still requires ordinary firearms.
"The number of artillery pieces seems not enough."
Abel pinched his chin, his eyes wandering.
Not long after, in the warehouse of the family's residence.
Abel was directing people to move things, while the steward next to him was sweating profusely and his face turned pale.
"Lord Abel, where are you going to transport these five hundred artillery pieces? I haven't received any orders from the young master."
"Oh, you mean I don't have the right to mobilize the family's resources, right?"
Abel looked at the other party with a smile, which frightened the steward so much that he almost knelt down on the spot.
"No, of course that's not what I mean. The Young Master has already issued an order, and your rights are equivalent to those of the highest cadre of the family. But... these are five hundred artillery pieces!"
"You just dragged them all away without saying a word. When the young master comes to question you, I really can't explain it to you!"
Abel immediately put on an arrogant attitude and said extremely impatiently: "I didn't take the family's things for nothing. I paid for these five hundred artillery pieces. I remember that top cadres can buy things at a 40% discount on the internal price?"
The manager bit the bullet and said, "Yes, but there are also goods ordered by others."
"Then there's nothing good to do. What others order is none of my business."
"Okay, don't be so embarrassed. Calculate the price later. You won't be short of even a penny."
The steward was about to cry, but he could only let Abel take the goods away.
There is no way, who makes this person a family cadre, and also has the authority of the highest cadre.
Fortunately, the other party was reasonable and actually kept the money.
Although the price was 40% off, it was barely enough for him to make a deal.
Doflamingo was speechless when he learned about this.
"Five hundred artillery pieces?"
"This kid's appetite is really getting bigger and bigger."
Doflamingo took it for granted that Abel had found a big buyer himself, and in order to make a profit on the price difference, he did this.
Otherwise, you can use it yourself?
This kind of thing happened often before.
Doflamingo just turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.
After all, Abel once saved his life!
In addition, Abel's mission completion rate is one of the best within the family, which has indeed contributed a lot to the development of the family.
In this case, it is impossible for Doflamingo to do anything to Abel just for a little money.
This time, the number was a bit large, which made him murmur.
"When Abel comes back, let him come to see me immediately."
After thinking about it, Doflamingo still felt that this was not a big deal, so he did not make a fuss about it.
But when this kid comes back, he will definitely have to teach him a lesson.
Otherwise it would really be getting too much.
In this way, Abel easily obtained another five hundred artillery pieces, and then through layer-by-layer transfers, the secret of success was handed over to Gaji.
The price was that he was severely scolded by Doflamingo when he returned.
Of course, Abel must have heard the sound through his left ear and out his right ear, but he didn’t hear anything at all.
Doflamingo gritted his teeth in anger as he looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling meat.
"The family will soon enter the new world and implement that plan."
"Since you are so free now, go to Dressrosa and set up an outpost first."
Doflamingo had a headache just looking at him now, so he simply sent him away first, out of sight but out of mind.
Abel was stunned for a moment, knowing that Doflamingo was still going to attack Dressrosa.
He couldn't stop it, and he had no reason to stop it.
All he cares about is what kind of answer Doflamingo can deliver when facing those formidable enemies after heading to the new world.
This will also determine his choice.
After all, a deposed king who has lost his spirit and is left with only fear is not worth following.
Whether it is a dragon or an insect, Abel will witness it with his own eyes.
"I can go, but when will the last vacant top cadre position be given to me?"
Abel asked very directly.
It was never in his nature to beat around the bush.
"Since I joined, I have completed countless tasks, large and small. I have even cracked the hard nut of developing the South China Sea arms market."
"In comparison, Diamanti was so much slower than me and almost screwed up."
"Not to mention Pika. She was tortured twice by red-haired Shanks and almost even died in the East China Sea. In the end, she could only run back in despair."
"I feel that due to emotion and reason, I should also take the position of top cadre."
Doflamingo seemed to have expected this day, and he laughed outright.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I thought you could bear it until how long before you come to ask me."
"To be honest, with your achievements, strength, and contribution to the family, you are worthy of the name 'Red Heart'."
"But there are some things you did that were indeed a bit excessive. No matter how many times I told you, you never changed it. People have to wonder if you were really allowed to become the top cadre, it would be okay!"
Speaking of this, Doflamingo glared at Abel who was laughing dryly.
"But I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. After I capture Dressrosa, I will reward you based on your merits. It will be up to you whether you can become the top cadre by then."
"I understand, I'll leave now."
