While Chen Xing was enjoying the fragrant hand-ground coffee on the plane and eating the lattice cake made into small pieces, in the ruins of Crow City in the Red Dragon Principality thousands of miles away, the banks of the Ambergris River's red rock mountain tributary were filled with splashing water. , a negotiation related to the future of Crow City is ongoing.
Exquisite pastries are placed on the dining table covered with white cloth. The walls of the translucent tall glasses are covered with a thin layer of ice mist, which contains ice and snow water from the Longya Mountains. It is refreshing, sweet, refreshing, and deeply loved. Loved by the country's nobles and officials.
"Miss, your beauty is like this iceberg spring, clear and holy, without a single flaw, but your heart is darker than the bottomless abyss."
The middle-aged president of the Crow City Redevelopment Committee raised the cup in his hand towards the woman sitting opposite and said half-jokingly.
This woman was very tall. She was over 1.8 meters tall, which was much taller than many men. She has soft facial features, upright sitting posture, quiet temperament, reserved and slightly cold, unsmiling, and very oppressive to men.
The woman bowed and said, "You're too kind."
I have to say that this woman is top-notch in terms of figure and appearance. She has a pretty face, big breasts and long legs, which is in line with all men's aesthetics of women. However, the chairman's eyes did not dare to glance randomly. He placed it on his own water glass and only dared to observe through the refraction of the glass.
Although the other party is young and looks to be only in his mid-twenties, he is the deputy leader of the North Bridge Regiment, a large armed mercenary group. She is also the eldest daughter of the Ye Yang family, the first family in Gray Corner City, and the most popular in Ambergris River. A great healer with great potential and one of the youngest lord-level powerhouses on the Red Earth Continent.
Several halos superimposed together are too dazzling for people to look directly at.
However, pressure is pressure, and the president still bites the bullet and safeguards the official interests of the Red Dragon Principality.
"The conditions you proposed are too harsh. Do you know how much the income of Crow Port is?" The president paused, "I tell you, even all the marginal towns in the principality combined do not have half of it."
"That was before." Ye Yang Bailiu reminded.
"You're right, that was in the past, but if it wasn't for the reconstruction of Crow Port, which required a large amount of funds, it wouldn't be your turn to get involved. Do you know Jinfen Port? It's the Thousand Sail Port that your mercenaries often call, and it's directly under the royal family. The port has not been canonized since ancient times. It is already a great favor to you that the Grand Duke will give you 10%."
"Mr. President, I must remind you that this is not a favor, but a deal." Ye Yang Bailiu's face turned cold and he stood up and said, "If you dare to use the Grand Duke to pressure us again, this deal will be over and we will go elsewhere. National investment." Her expression was calm, and her voice was low, but full of the smell of gunpowder that would turn the tables.
"Please don't be angry, Miss Ye Yang. I apologize to you for my inappropriate wording." The president said hurriedly, while nodding his head in apology.
Ye Yang Bailiu sat down again, "Twenty-five percent, one hundred and fifty years of income, this is our bottom line."
"This..." The president's face turned pale, probably because he had never seen such a lion speak so loudly.
After a long time, he sighed dejectedly and said, "Young people are getting more and more difficult..." and then said, "Fifteen percent, fifty years, this is the bottom line given to me by the Grand Duke. If it is lower than For this condition, you should go somewhere else and see.”
Without waiting for the other party to answer, he analyzed again, "Under this condition, your investment money can be recovered with interest in twenty years, and the remaining thirty years will be in vain."
"Hmm..." Ye Yang Bailiu pondered for a while and nodded in agreement, "Okay, just follow what the Grand Duke said." The bottom line Hua Beidou gave her was 12%, with a period of 70 years. Judging from the total income, , this condition is slightly higher, so it doesn’t matter if you agree to it.
"I wish our cooperation a success." The president toasted.
Ye Yang Bailiu didn't move, but moved the water glass slightly and said, "Don't be anxious yet, we still want to talk about the central square."
"Central Square..." The president's face looked a little ugly. Does the other party want Crow City to be renamed Beiqiao City?
"As a large enough organization, we need a decent headquarters, and to secure our investment in the City of Crows, we need a seat on the City Council."
The president smiled bitterly, "It seems that Hua Beidou has found a good apprentice..."
"Thank you." Ye Yang Bailiu nodded slightly, showing humility.
At the same time, thousands of kilometers away on the edge of the northern wilderness, a quaint and luxurious Western-style house rose from the ground. The walls are made of rough stones, and the interlayer is made of steel plates tens of centimeters thick. A large number of steel wires are mixed in the cement. The doors and windows are made of large pieces of solid wood, coupled with alloy red copper twisted into a vase pattern, which is thick but not elegant.
It can be seen from the appearance that the cost is huge. Hundreds of workers were busy, carrying tools or plywood back and forth.
Below the house, the intricate corridors are like the roots of old trees, stretching for dozens of kilometers in a radius and reaching a depth of up to a thousand meters.
In the tunnel, groups of termite workers with round bellies as big as calves sprayed white slurry towards the cave wall. The slurry seeps into the soil at a speed visible to the naked eye, quietly changing the strength of the soil.
Behind them, the cave wall of the corridor appeared smooth and shiny, as if it had been sprayed with a layer of varnish.
Strengthened by grout ants, today's underground kingdom is so impregnable that it can survive even if a nuclear bomb explodes above.
"When will brother come back? Suna is so bored~"
A girl's sigh came from the depths of the underground kingdom.
After a moment of silence, there was the murmur of electricity.
"Shashasha... The Black Prison Trial has made another meritorious service. Steve, Viscount of Ice Blue City, is suspected of selling arms to Saudi Arabia and is suspected of treason. Shashasha..."
This is the Dungeon Master's new hobby - listening to the news on the radio.
At the same time, at the location reported on the radio, in the mansion in the Ruby District of Ice Blue City, Steve's family, men, women and children were huddled in a corner of the hall, surrounded by a group of fully armed female non-commissioned officers.
They wore uniform clothing, brown-red long-heeled leather boots, black non-commissioned officer uniforms with epaulettes, armed belts around their waists, small boat-shaped hats tilted on their heads, and white gloves holding assault rifles. They were both powerful and powerful. enchanting.
"Bang!"
The double doors of the hall were suddenly pushed open, and a female officer walked in. The long high-heeled leather boots made a crisp sound on the floor as he walked over.
Her clothes are similar to those of other female officers, but she has a pair of sunglasses on her face and a riding crop in her hand.
The lady officer made way for her, and with her hands behind her back, she circled around Steve's family. The true expression is hidden behind the dark glasses, making it difficult for people to grasp and guess. The whip gently hits the palm, making a clicking sound from time to time, which is extremely heart-stopping.
"Let, let us go, I, I didn't do anything!" Steve said with his fists clenched.
"Hehehe~" The female officer seemed to have heard the best joke in the world. She laughed so hard that her whole body was shaking, and her chest was bulging, as if her buttons would fall apart at any time.
"Damn it!" Thinking of the humiliation suffered by his family and himself, Steve clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. But what he got in exchange was a whip on his face.
Blood stains gradually appeared, shocking.
"You bitch, I'll fight you!"
Steve's whole body flashed with blue light, he pulled out the dagger he had hidden in advance, and stabbed the female officer in the abdomen.
The tip of the blade shone with cold light, and if it was stabbed hard, the intestines would be dislodged immediately. However, the female officer looked indifferent and took a step sideways, grabbing the woman on the ground and blocking her in front of her.
Everything happened in a flash of lightning. Steve's eyes only felt blurry, and then there was a "pop" sound, the blade entered his body, and the power of feedback and the warmth of blood came from his hand, but the target was changed to the one who had been together for twenty years. Yu Zai's wife.
Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, heartbreakingly red.
"Mother!"
The child screamed and Steve, holding his wife in his arms, went crazy.
"Whoaaah!"
"You bitch, I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"
A cruel smile appeared on the female officer's lips, and she announced, "Viscount Steve refused to be arrested and intended to harm the first inquisitor of the Black Prison!"
She was like a snake, sliding close to Steve's body. The latter was caught off guard, his hand was empty, the dagger was taken away, and then he felt pain in his waist.
Looking down, he saw a big hole in his waist and blood gushing out like a fountain.
"You! You!" Steve covered the wound with one hand and pointed at the female officer with the other. His whole body was shaking, his feet went weak, and he took a few steps back.
"Daddy, daddy!" Little Steve screamed at the top of his lungs, covering his father's wound with his two little hands, but blood still spurted out.
In just a moment, the other party tore Steve's kidneys into pieces. Unless an advanced healing needle is used, or a fast healer is here, the bleeding will never stop. But everything had been taken away from them, leaving them with nothing but their hands and their thin clothes.
Steve soon closed his eyes from the loss of blood.
Little Steve looked at the female officer in front of him, with hatred and anger burning in his eyes.
The female officer leaned down with a smile on her lips, "What, do you hate me?"
"One day, I will kill you!" Little Steve said word by word, the anger in his eyes turning into determination.
"Hehehe~" the female officer sneered, patted the scared little boy on the shoulder, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll wait." After saying that, she waved her hand and ordered in a deep voice, "Take them away!"
