Lord of War

Chapter 377 Slave

"Charles!"

In an ancient manor covered by green shade, there was an old but full-pitable sound, shaking the green creeping tigers on the walls of the manor. In those green leaves that are trying to bloom, yellow-brown juice flows in the veins, which is the venom of the mutant mountain tiger. The defense mechanism in the gene is activated by feeling the anger of the sound.

But after a moment, no hostile target was detected, so the venom slowly retreated to the root.

In Charles's room, he struggled to get up in a soft big**. Charles jumped out of bed and looked at the two graceful [corpus] bodies. After returning from the wilderness last night, he vented his anger on the two young maids under 15 years old. I have to say that the two girls were first humane, and their physical elasticity and tightness were amazingly high, which made Charles quickly turn his anger into something else.

After two hours of continuous fighting, he fell asleep. During this period, he has forgotten how many times he vented in these two bodies. It's hard for these two girls to be surprisingly resilient. If it were those delicate women in the old times, I'm afraid they would have disappeared as early as Charles's crazy sprint. However, it is certain that you can't get out of bed for two days.

"Master Charles."

Outside the door, the housekeeper Laurenc's anxious voice sounded. Charles had heard his father's roar, so he shouted impatiently, "I know. Tell the old man that I'll go there immediately."

Changing into clean clothes and trousers, Charles yawned and walked to his father's study. Outside the window, the morning light simulated by the Asgard holographic board cast on the carved ancient window of the corridor, casting beautiful light and shadow on the ground of the corridor. Charles crushed the light and shadow all the way to his father Mebros's study.

It's a little gloomy in the study, and Meblos is sitting on his red leather chair with a calm face. On the desk in front of him, a small rectangular brocade box caught Charles's attention.

Charles saluted his father and said, "Good morning, dear father."

Mebulus snorted from his nostrils, "It's not good at all. Look at what this is!"

He threw the brocade box at Charles, and Charles was shocked. Why was his gentle father so angry today? He casually grabbed the brocade box and opened it. There were three things in the box. They are an eyeball, a note and a pocket storage device.

"What is this?" Charles asked in surprise, but there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.

Mebulus said coldly, "Look at yourself."

Charles unfolded the note, and on the paper was a line of text written in Gothic style: Dear Meblos. Mr. Lambston personally, I regret to inform you that your servant Bodong raided my territory for no reason last night. Because of its rude provocation, I intended to capture it and return it to the mansion. However, the noble servant refused to arrest and even injured our soldiers. He had no choice but to kill him. Because of the fierceness of the war, it is impossible to protect the whole body for your servant, and I am deeply unmeaned. Now I will return the limbs of your servant, with a storage device, including a video of your servant's attack for no reason. You should know what I said.

The payment is "zero"!

Charles was shocked and angry after watching it. What shocked him was that the dark tyrant Bodong killed Zero, and he was angry about Zero's actions, which was a great threat and demonstration. He looked up at his father and gritted his teeth and said, "Father, we can't just forget about this."

Unexpectedly, Meblos stood up and scolded angrily, "You fool, don't you understand? They have evidence in hand, and Bodong attacked for no reason, and we have been in the first place. If you do something about this again, you will only be stoned, and maybe even the Hull family will be affected by this matter. Besides, Bodong is already our most powerful warrior. Unless the Hull family is willing to lend their elite, what should we challenge with zero!"

Charles was sprayed with saliva and paused. He whispered, "Is that all?"

"Of course not, but it needs to be discussed in the long-term. It seems that this zero is not simple, and it does not depend entirely on the relationship. In this way, we can't act more rashly. Recently, you should calm me down and make less trouble for me outside. Don't give them the handle they found. Meblos ordered angrily.

Charles lowered his head and said, "I know."

But he felt unwilling to be done by Zero, which not only swept away the majesty of the Lambston family, but also lost the face of his successor.

Looking at the sunshine from the window at his feet, Charles only felt that his good morning mood had disappeared.

Although the incident of the attack on the [East] base and the counter-killing did not circulate in Asgatry, the news secretly spread among the restaurants. The Lambston family is also a big family on the table in Asgatry. The death of the head of the family's bodyguard was undoubtedly a big slap in the face for the Lambston family. Thinking about it one deeper, it seems that even the Hull family behind it has lost face.

The most wonderful thing is that he holds a video of a wave [East] raid in his hand. With this video as evidence, the Lambston family dare not make a lot of money, otherwise they will go to Asgard's court, and only Meblos will suffer losses in the end.

Three days after the news spread, the Lambston family still did nothing. Mebloss was forced to vomit this dumb loss.

In this way, Zero and the company behind him were looked up by the nobles. In the next few days, the zero-point company received a lot of orders, and Ben and the Black Rose family had a new injection of funds. This made the Zero Point Company begin to recruit and buy horses, expand the production scale of the arsenal, and make three new era weapons production lines begin to take action.

Everything is going step by step.

On this day, Beatrice invited Zero to meet. The housekeeper Cassilio personally came to Ling's apartment to pick him up and went to Black Rose's house with him. On the way, Cassilio looked at Zero with great interest.

After a few days of recovery, the tendon cut by Podong with a dark line has healed, and the major and minor injuries have recovered quickly. But there is still some black on his face, which shows from another side that Zero has also paid a considerable price for killing Podong.

"Okay, Mr. Casilio. I know it's impolite to meet your master with a broken face, but please forgive me. There's nothing I can do." After being stared at by an old man for ten minutes, he felt unbearable with zero indifference. He only had to protest.

"The dark energy of Bodong is not so easy to remove. Dark energy is the most obscure power in the world. Sometimes you think they have been completely cleaned up, but after a long time, you will find that they are still stubborn and have caused some irreparable damage to your body. Cassilio smiled faintly and stretched out his hand and pressed it on Zero's face.

After a burst of energy flashed, the residual injuries on Zero's body quickly recovered, and even some obscure injuries in the body were removed by the old man in one fell swoop.

Zero wanted to say something, and Cassirio had smiled and said, "Don't thank me. As you said, it's impolite, isn't it?"

So when the car stopped in front of a quiet manor, he couldn't even find a trace of injury. He got out of the car and walked into the manor under the leadership of Cassirio. The manor was very quiet. It was in the afternoon that the gardener was silently trimming the branches and leaves of the plants in the garden of the forecourt. A stone fountain quietly spits out the spring, and the fountain floats scattered petals, quiet and elegant.

Stepping on the cobblestone road, Zero followed Casilio to a house. The house adopts Gothic architectural style, and there is a precipitation atmosphere in the gorgeousness, which is aristocratic introverted and symbolizes an irreplaceable status.

Stepping on the deep corridor paved with red carpet, Casilio took Zero to Beatrice's study and said lightly, "Go in. Miss is waiting for you in the room."

Nod, reached out and gently pushed open the door of the study. He didn't dare to use too hard for fear that the sound would be too loud and destroy the silence of the place.

The room was very quiet, and the sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling window fell into the study from the side. The window was open, and countless dust was floating under the beam of light, like a dancing elf. Beatrice is writing hard on the case, stacking hill-high documents on her left. Beyonise is constantly taking down these documents and scanning them for the necessary review.

She processes documents very fast, but this does not mean that Beyonris just browses and makes a conclusion. On the contrary, although she has ten lines at a glance, every word is clearly engraved in her mind. These documents are related to the development and later planning of the whole family. Each owner is at the helm of the family. If Beatrice's instructions are wrong. Then it is bound to trigger a series of late reactions, which may lead the family in a direction that Beatrice does not want to see.

"Zero, are you here? Please wait a moment and give me another 10 minutes." Beatrice said without raising her head.

Nod at zero, sit quietly on the sofa on one side. He looked at Beatrice. Today, she changed her dress at the banquet and wore a streamlined dress, reflecting Beyonris's love for efficiency.

Naturally, without the cover of the hat veil of the day, Beatrice at present fully reveals her real appearance in Zero's eyes.

Beatrice is nearly 30 years old, but in terms of appearance, she is no different from a woman in two decades. Thanks to her careful maintenance and the prescription of genetic agents, Beatrice succeeded in letting time stop on her, although she was not a capable person.

Her hair is high, and from the side, Beyonris's forehead is smooth and full, which is a symbol of wisdom. She has a knife-like outline, and when her facial features are perfectly proportioned, it presents an amazing beauty.

There is a frameless flat glasses on the bridge of Beatrice's nose. The purpose of the glasses was originally to filter out the harmful light to the eyes, but at this time, it is on the high bridge of Beyonice's nose, blurring the sharp outline of her face.

From beginning to end, Beyonise didn't look at zero at all, but she seemed to know something and said as she instructed the document, "It doesn't seem to be the work of a gentleman to stare at a lady, right?"

Zero shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "I have always been a gentleman. Besides, with the beauty of Miss Beyonris, if I don't pay attention to the courtesy, it is the greatest impoliteness."

At this time, Beatrice finally stopped her pen at the end of her hand. She looked at Zero and shook her head and laughed, "This is the smartest flattery I have ever seen. Presumably Mr. Zero must be extraordinary in pleasing girls' hearts."

"Miss laughed and said that love is the patent of Mr. Duo Jin. How can I, who struggle to survive every day, waste so much time on such a thing?" Zero replied with a smile.

"Are you implying that I wasting your time?" Beatrice stood up and raised her eyebrows.

She is extremely tall, with a height of 180CM and a pair of high heels, so that idle men have to look up. What Zero saw on that day, Beyonris was wearing a dress, but it covered up her height. Today's office girl's dress and streamlined clothes decorate Beyonice's figure, especially the long legs, which present an almost perfect leg line under the suit trousers, challenging the self-control of all men.

Zero withdrew his rude eyes and smiled faintly, "How dare you. Miss's time should be much more precious than mine. Speaking of which, I should waste your time.

Beatrice smiled and said, "Okay, I'm kidding. It doesn't matter who wastes whose time. In short, it's not a waste to talk about business.

She went to the opposite side of Zero and sat down, with her legs together and leaning against the sofa, with a lazy beauty in her dignity.

Zero said, "Oh, I don't know what Miss Beatrice is talking to me about?"

"It's a project."

"What project."

"Catching slaves." Beatrice pulled out a cigarette from the cigarette box on the table, lit it and took a sip in her mouth. I have to say that no matter what she does, her posture is so elegant, but she has never given people a sense of delicateness, but a sense of clean and capableness.

Zero was slightly surprised: "Asgard also has the job of capturing slaves?"

"This is not appropriate." Beatrice said with a smile, "We just make reasonable use of some idle resources in the wilderness. Recently, our factory is understaffed and needs a batch of new slaves. I happen to remember that your company is on the right track now, but if you continue to expand, you will soon face a situation of understaffing. No company's workers in the wilderness are purely recruited, and most of them are slaves. Compared with formal workers, the cost of slaves is lower, but the work efficiency is twice or more that of ordinary workers.

"If you need it, I can let you participate in this project. The captured slaves are divided into 20 cents, and you only need to pay the necessary handling fee to our family. Of course, if you contribute yourself, this handling fee can be saved. How about it? Are you interested in participating? Beatrice looked at Ling and asked.

For a "project" like this, it is reasonable that Beatrice will not be so cheap. After all, although the exiles in the wilderness cannot fight against the regular troops, the capture of slaves also requires a large number of manpower and an accurate grasp of the distribution information of the exiles. Capturing a large number of slaves can not only be provided to their factories for manpower, but can also be resold to others through the black market.

No matter how you look at it, this is a profitable business.

Business like this will naturally not take advantage of others. Beatrice is willing to let Zero participate. On the one hand, in addition to establishing a deeper cooperative friendship with Zero, on the other hand, she also killed the head of the Lambston family's bodyguard recently.

According to Cassirio, although the bodyguard leader Bodong is not yet a ten-order strong man, the particularity of his ability can match the ordinary tenth-order ability. In particular, the ability of the "dark power" of Pudong, which can form a main power field similar to the field, is a very rare ability. Zero can kill him, which illustrates the value of Zero itself from another side.

Compared with cooperative friendship, this is probably an important reason why Beatrice intends to let Zero participate in the slave-hunting program.

Zero nodded and said, "I will participate. I don't know when I will leave. I will try to form a team of about 100 people before that."

At present, in addition to the security personnel of Zero Point Company, only Zero and Feng can fight. Therefore, it is imperative to recruit soldiers. Now that the company has stabilized, what Zero has to do is to open up a new territory. The endless wilderness is not something that several people in their area can explore, and the existence of soldiers is necessary.

In this case, Zero intends to form his own team of soldiers as soon as possible, and the slave hunting plan is a great opportunity to sharpen this army.

Beatrice smiled and said, "I thought people like you would oppose the existence of slaves. I heard that you haven't experienced the era of catacism?

nodded and said, "Yes, so I have no way of knowing the cruelty of the era of catastrophe, and I can only think about it from this era. To be honest, most of the ideas in my mind are still in the old era. Things like slaves did not exist in the old era. But no matter what era, it is not uncommon for people to eat people and exploit people. In the old days, there were no slaves, but many people lived no different from slaves.

"I don't want to flaunt how noble my moral conscience is, I just need to know what I want to do. Many sacrifices are inevitable before fulfilling their ideals. As for the slave, I think it is already the lightest sacrifice, but only my personal reputation. Zero said, "Besides, as a slave in my hands, at least I can guarantee not to abuse them. As long as they work hard, they will have food to eat, and I can also provide them with the most basic medical insurance, making their lives several times better than in the wilderness. Of course, they also have sacrifices, that is, freedom and name. But in turbulent times, these two things sometimes don't look so good.

Beatrice nodded and said, "I'm glad you have this idea, Zero. Really, compared with some people who shout to overthrow slavery and promote famous masters. But it's much better to secretly have countless [sexual] slaves and hardships.

"Well, this project will be carried out in two months. I hope you will be ready by then.
