The room was dark, and there was a smell of moldy wood in the air. The three Dior people were very familiar with this smell. When they were forest rangers in Canada, they would be sick from the smell every day when they were in the company of it. Longtanshuw.com M.longtanshuw.com
Behind the dark table in the corner, a man whose face he couldn't see clearly was smoking a cigar. He watched Pheasant bring three men, threw the match into the ashtray, coughed twice and spoke.
"Dior... is a native of Toulouse, a small town in southern France. He is 41 years old this year. He joined the army at the age of twenty and retired at the age of thirty-seven. As a result, your limited retirement fund was implicated in the bankruptcy of a small bank in your hometown, and you lost everything..."
"I had no choice but to find a job as a ranger in Canada through a friend's relationship. The purpose is to avoid debts, right?"
"Fedya, Bernanke...the two scoundrels on the streets of Lyon made a living by helping loan sharks collect debts, but they killed a mother and her son because of debt collection, and your boss put all the blame on you. On the head..."
"After you escaped to Canada, fellow countryman Dio took you in and lived together in the deep mountains and forests of Canada for three years..."
The resumes of the three Dior people were received gracefully by the people opposite them. From their childhood privacy to their experiences in the military, they even had detailed records of how many antiques Dior had stolen in Beijing.
Dior is not poor. He has a pension after retiring from the army for many years, and he also made a small fortune while in China. Logically speaking, these assets are enough for him to live a safe and prosperous life. At least he will have no problem maintaining a middle-class living standard. .
It's a pity that his money was deposited in the wrong bank. At that time, there was no such thing as national risk-taking in the banking industry. Depositors who put their money in the bank had to bear the risk of the bank going bankrupt and losing everything.
Dior's life was in jeopardy, and he encountered evil-hearted capitalists. The bank that had some reputation in the local area went bankrupt overnight. Dior returned to abject poverty, and even owed a high amount of foreign debt.
As a last resort, he could only escape with the help of his friends and his whole family. His wife and daughter are now working as small laborers in New York, USA, to make ends meet, while he is working as a dangerous forest ranger in Canada.
Originally, Dior thought that he would live alone for the rest of his life, earning a small amount of money every month, sending most of it to his wife and daughter in New York, and the rest to support his own life, and he might never be able to return to his hometown again.
But three months ago, he received a telegram from an old British friend. It was an old friend he met during the joint campaign against the Qing Empire. Fighting side by side made their friendship extremely strong. In the telegram, the old friend gave him A very dangerous job was introduced, but as long as it can be completed, there is no problem even buying a small manor in my hometown, let alone paying off the debt.
Of course, the telegram didn't make it so clear, but there were many clues revealed between the lines. Dio knew very well that except for the business of murder and arson, it was impossible to have such high profits these days.
My comrade is introducing himself to a beheading business. He is risking his life!
But Dio didn't care. He had the potential to be a desperado. He would trade his own life for the good life of his wife and daughter for the rest of their lives. He felt that this deal was worth it.
The three of Dior discussed it for half the night, but that night they raided the pockets of all the forest farm workers and snatched their last bit of cash to buy boat tickets.
The three of them are considered to be in ruins. If this deal fails, they will not be able to return to Canada.
Dio sat down at the table, reached out and lit the kerosene lamp, and the familiar face of his comrade appeared in front of him.
"Oliver... we haven't seen you for a long time and you don't even have a glass of wine? This is not like you before!"
The expected intimate hug scene did not appear. Old friend Oliver's face was extremely cold: "Dior, we can talk nonsense later. Since you are here, it means that you are mentally prepared. You have really decided to work hard to come." In exchange for this money?”
"You have to remember that there is more than a 90% chance that you will die, and the commission can only be enjoyed by your family... Are you ready to die?
The expressions of the three Dior men were ferocious and twisted for a long time before they spoke, "What's the difference between living like this and dying... Tell us the price first! See if the price you offer is enough to buy our lives!"
"One hundred thousand pounds per person! Is that enough?
Hiss... the three of them gasped, "Three hundred thousand... pounds?
This is simply an unimaginable amount of money. The annual salary of an ordinary blue-collar worker in the UK is only more than one hundred pounds. If a family of three can spend ten pounds a month on living expenses, they are already quite wealthy. , you can ensure that there are sausages and milk on the table every day.
Three hundred thousand pounds is an absolutely astronomical figure, so big that they can't even think about it.
"That's right, it's three hundred thousand pounds. This is the price after the mission succeeds. If the mission fails... don't worry, you will definitely die if the mission fails. Then your family can still get a pension of twenty thousand pounds!"
Dio blinked. "If the task is completed, it will be 300,000 yuan. If the task is not completed, there will only be 60,000 yuan in pension? What a good deal! I have another condition..."
"Say!" Oliver nodded.
"The 60,000 yuan pension must be given to us first. This is the deposit... It's not that I don't believe you, it's because this is related to the family's food rations after the three of us die. We have to let our wife and children live, so we have to first Send the money..."
"The request is very reasonable and I can agree...but are you mentally prepared? Do you really want to take on this dangerous task?"
Dio didn't hesitate at all. "The ship has been drifting in the Atlantic Ocean for more than a month. We have already figured it out! No matter how dangerous it is, we will take on this job!"
Oliver sighed, took out a bottle of red wine and a few cigars from under the desk and handed them over, "My old friend, to tell you the truth, this mission is not a narrow escape for you, but there is no possibility of survival..."
"In the final analysis, such a high price is to pay for your life. Even if you complete the mission successfully and escape smoothly...the big shots who don't know their identities behind me will kill you!"
"It's hard to get this money! And you have to understand that as long as I tell you the mission and you hear it, you won't have any choice. You can't do it or not..."
"Oliver... take your hand away from under the desk. I know there is a pistol on it, and I also know that you have ambushed at least twenty killers in the White Goose. I can feel their breathing and murderous intent. !”
"What have we not experienced on the battlefield? I have long been indifferent to life and death... tell me about your mission!"
"Okay! Have fun...have a drink first to build up your courage!"
A large bottle of red wine was poured into four glasses, and the four of them drank them all with their heads raised.
The wine at the corner of Oliver's mouth was as red as blood. He lowered his voice and said very quietly, "We'll take action the day after tomorrow... We've already stepped in for you. In the pine forest on the outskirts of the West District..."
"Kill the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!"
