Chapter 386 Eve 3
The three-dimensional topographic map on the table is slowly rotating, and the outline of an underground city is exposed to the greedy eyes of human beings. Austin swallowed his saliva, sat up straight and said in a low voice, "Miss Beyonris, don't you think the value of black gold is far above the so-called slaves?"
Although Charlotte didn't say anything, he nodded in agreement.
Beatrice looked at them, looked at Zero again, and finally said, "That's good. Needless to say, the two gentlemen should understand. In this era, energy is a precious resource. Therefore, Mr. Zero and I are willing to give up the huge value of black gold to you. As for us, we can only take all the slaves in the city. What do you two think?
Austin fell silent and then looked back. Sitting behind Austin, there was his second son, Harbes, and his second daughter, Fendor. But now Harbes has been sent away to Austin, so only his daughter Fendor sits behind him. Fendor is only 18 years old, tall, and a beautiful girl. Her dress is similar to Beyonise, and she is dressed like an old-fashioned girl.
It's just that she seems to prefer red, and the red trousers make her as dazzling as a flame. However, Fendor's expression is cold and proud, which is in sharp contrast to her clothes, but it evokes some male impulses. For example, the two young men behind Charlotte have been looking at Fendor from the beginning to now, and have been wandering in the ** part of her body, showing great interest.
As for Fendor herself, she seems to turn a blind eye to these two hot eyes. Seeing her father looking back, she seemed to know something, nodded, took out a pocket-sized smart brain from her coat pocket, and began to calculate.
Fendor is an ability in the perceptual domain and is good at computing. The most proud ability is multivariate computing. Various functions can be calculated at the same time, and the computing power is comparable to that of the intelligent brain.
Soon, she came up with a number on her brain and whispered it to her father.
Looking at the look of the father and daughter in his eyes, Charrod was unmoved on the surface, but secretly looked at Beyonris. Charlotte has come to understand why a slave-catching plan requires Beyonise to invite herself and Austin. The underground city is undoubtedly a huge resource. Judging from the scale of the three-dimensional map, the scale of this underground city can accommodate at least 3,000 human lives.
Even 3,000 exile slaves are a lot of wealth. What's more, aliens have more value, and slaves are just one of the lowest levels. In addition, black gold is another shining point.
But no matter how ambitious the Black Rose family is, it can't swallow such a large amount of wealth in one breath. Whether it is a underground city or black gold, they are so valuable that they will attract the attention of wolves as soon as they are exposed. The Black Rose family couldn't digest such a big piece of fat alone, so Beyonice invited him and Austin to join. When the three rich families joined hands, the rest of the forces naturally had to retreat.
But Beyonris's brilliance is to directly give up the fat meat of black gold, which is the most beneficial. Compared with Black Gold, no matter how valuable the alien life is, 3,000 alien slaves will all be ceded to Beyonris. Moreover, if he and Austin are still involved in this, they are afraid of being laughed at.
Therefore, Austin acquiesced to Beyonice's proposal and directly let her daughter start calculating their benefits.
But these are the chess moves on Beatrice's surface, but secretly, they throw the sharpest contradiction directly to Charlotte and Austin. His two families have equal power, and the interests of Black Gold are so great that neither Charlotte nor Austin will give in any concessions. Charlotte knew very well that no matter how this interest was divided, it was impossible to satisfy the two families, so the seeds of contradiction were quietly planted.
And since the seeds have been planted, there must be a day when they bloom and bear fruit. And this is the pawn of Beyonris on the surface of the water. Hate to know, but Charlotte will not give in to Austin. From this, it can be seen that Beatrice has really figured out the temperament of the two of them.
Looking at Austin like a profiteer, Charlotte smiled secretly, but his fear of Beyonris increased a little more.
Before coming to the banquet, Beyonris had informed the general situation. Therefore, when Beatrice made this promise, Zero was not surprised. It is true that black gold has great interests, but even Black Rose does not want to be involved in this business, and Zero is even more unqualified.
Ambition is not a bad thing, but without the strength to match ambition, it will lead to disaster. Zero was very clear about this, so he didn't say anything, and Beatrice let Austin calculate their interests clearly.
The next was a fierce dispute, and Austin got the biggest profit value of his family with the help of his daughter Fendor. But Charlotte naturally doesn't buy this number. The two families began to negotiate with each other about the share of the black gold harvest. This makes Zero see another level of confrontation, which is as fierce as any life-and-death battle he has participated in.
Austin and Charlotte are almost bound to compete for an inch of land. The intelligent brains in the hands of the two young people behind Fendor and Charlotte keep pressing, and all kinds of reports come and go in the mouths of both sides. The accuracy of their numbers has been confirmed to the last four decimal places!
In the dispute between the two families, Beyonris and Ling Cheng were in a state of rest. They leisurely drank the coffee served by the waiter and waited for the two bosses to end the business war.
After two hours of debate, the result finally came out. Regarding the proceeds of black gold, Charlotte's Planning family share 67% of the total income, and the rest is owned by Austin's Hull family. But Charlotte must provide an additional batch of arms to the Hull family, some of which are the design drawings of weapons of the new era. Otherwise, Austin would not have made such a concession.
In this way, a city far away in the dense forest of silver frost was so divided by the three rich families.
Seeing that Austin and the two finally reached an agreement, Beyonris stood up and continued, "Well, gentlemen, in fact, we still have another problem to pay attention to. Although the target this time is the underground people, we can't ignore the small town of Pavaridge. Don't forget that they have trade and interests with underground people, and it's hard to guarantee that they won't tip us when we take action.
"This is simple. Let's just erase the town from the map." Austin laughed and wiped his neck.
He is indeed qualified to say so, although according to the information, Pavalić has his own armed force. But for the three rich families, this power is nothing at all. However, Charlotte disagrees with Austin's statement.
The fat man smiled and said, "Lord Austin, how can you quietly erase this town? And once the war starts, will the underground people who are only more than 100 kilometers apart not know? At that time, I'm afraid that when your army drives to someone's door, all you will get is an empty city. Of course, Black Gold can't run away, but why did you make it to Miss Beatrice?
Austin immediately said, and Beatrice took over and said, "Mr. Charlotte is right. We can't let go of Pawarrich, but we can't attack it. What we need to do is to assassinate their leadership and quietly take over the town. And Pawarichi can use our army as a cover-up, so as not to disturb the underground people.
"Assassination?" Austin touched his beard and said, "We don't have talent in this field. We can assassinate their leadership in a town protected by armed forces."
Charrod knew that Beatrice had said so, and she must have arranged something. In fact, since Beyonris threw out the interest of black gold, this woman has controlled the initiative and rhythm of the whole meeting. Knowing that he couldn't get any advantage tonight, the fat man simply pretended to be stupid and waited for Beatrice to take out her card.
Sure enough, Beatrice continued Austin's words: "Because of the assassination, I invited my new partner, Mr. Zero, to participate in this mission. To be honest, Mr. Zero himself is an eighth-order shadow wanderer, and it is most appropriate for him to carry out such a task.
This is an important arrangement specially made by Beatrice for Zero, if only with the will of the Black Rose family itself, let Zero join this action. Of course, Austin and the two won't say anything, but they won't admit such a hairy boy as Zero. In order to make Zero stand out in front of the highest-level figures in Asgard, and to increase the chips for the Black Rose family, Beatrice took great pains. After various clever arrangements, Zero finally played at the key points.
Of course, Zero will not waste the results created by Beyonise. When Beyonise called his name, he stood up and bowed to Austin to show his respect for the two rich families.
"As Miss Beatrice said, with my ability, as long as there are no ten-level capable people in Pavalić, I can't stop me from assassinating their leadership. Besides me, there is also a night messenger in my team, which should be a two-fold guarantee. Zero said lightly.
Not to mention Austin and Charlotte, even Beyonris was moved.
Although the Night Messenger is only a promotion profession, the future of this cross-domain ability is unlimited. Unexpectedly, Zero got such a capable person. In this way, if they are regarded as opponents by Zero, they may have trouble sleeping and eating. After all, wanderers and night messengers are terrible killers. Whoever is their enemy will exhaust their efforts just to prevent their assassination.
It's just that to Beatrice's surprise, there is a night messenger in the team that even she didn't know zero. In this way, all the strength of Zero should be more than superficial.
While talking, Fendor whispered to her father. After listening, Austin nodded and laughed, "Well, on behalf of the Hull family, I only welcome Mr. Zero to join."
"Since Mr. Austin has no objection, I welcome him even more." Charlotte laughed and said like a charitable elder, "Pavarid has been handed over to Mr. Zero. I think there should be no problem."
Zero smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, but I have a question."
"Oh? What is it?" Beatrice followed Zero's tone and did not give Austin and Charlotte a chance to refuse.
Although the two old people were laughing, the chill in their eyes was one more.
Zero said calmly: "According to several estimates, there should be about 3,000 people in the underground. I'll give you a discount, and 2,000 slaves can be captured. I only need 200 slaves, but I hope to get the management rights in the future.
As soon as this came out, the smiles on Austin and Charlotte's faces stiffened slightly. If you put it somewhere else, what if ten Pavalich are thrown to zero? However, this town is located near the underground clan, which means that although the Austin family will make profits from black gold, the mining and trading of black gold must be inseparable from Pavaric as a transit station. Besides, Pavalić's dependent city can be said to be the first line of defense against the black gold mine.
Conversely, it can also become a threat to black gold mines. In this way, Pavalić has a very important strategic position. Austin and the two were almost sure that the matter must have been approved by Beyonice, and it was difficult for Austin to refuse such a request by him to cut his own conditions at the time of zero importance.
After all, Zero has made a big step backwards. Reasoningly, neither Austin nor Charlotte had a reason to refuse.
But how can these two old foxes let such an important town fall into a pocket of zero? So Charlotte coughed dryly, and a young man behind him stood up and smiled and said, "Mr. Zero, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tucson, and I am Uncle Charlotte's assistant. I think Mr. Zero should be the first to participate in such a family-style linkage plan, so it's normal not to know some rules.
Zero also smiled and said, "What kind of rule do you dare to ask?"
Tucson's eyes showed a faint mocking and replied, "Generally speaking, for actions like this, the distribution of benefits depends on the amount of contribution. Simply put, you can gain as much as you give. Usually, the effort we refer to depends on the number of troops dispatched. Like our Planning family, 2,000 servants and a number of people with advanced ability are ready to be dispatched this time. I think Miss Beatrice and Mr. Austin should be similar. I don't know how many people Mr. Zero can bring out to get the management of a town like Pavage?
Zero nodded, but did not answer the question, "Mr. Tucson, how many armed forces can a capable person like me be worth?"
Tuson hesitated and said after seeing Charlotte nodded gently, "Mr. Zero is indeed a high-level capable person, but with all due respect, wanderers are not good at destruction. If it is converted, it should be worth the 500-person army.
Zero nodded again and said, "What about a destroyer?"
Tucson's eyelids jumped and said bluntly, "The words of the destroyer are enough for thousands of troops."
Zero said again, "Where's the hand of thunder?"
Twson clenched his hands and his breathing was slightly disordered. He reached out and moved his bow tie, a decoration that made him look polite, but now he is so annoyed that he wants to tear it off. Tucson licked his lips and said hard, "Same as above!"
Zero smiled and said, "So in this operation, in addition to me and the Night Messenger, I will have at least one thunder hand, a destroyer, and about 600 troops in this side. If combined, it should not be less than your army. In this case, I wonder if Mr. Tucson thinks I am qualified to manage the town?
Charrod waved his hand and asked Tucson to sit down. He looked at his old opponent Austin, who lowered his head and obviously wanted to throw the problem at him. When it comes to high-level capable people, whether it is Planning or the other two rich families, they are not without it. Just like Cassilio, the old housekeeper of the Black Rose family, he is worth at least three to four high-level capable people.
The cost and benefits are proportional, and every high-level capable person is a precious combat power for them and should be used in more critical places. Like this kind of slave-catching operation, it is useless to go out to a high level. What's more, like zero, two or three high-level capable people are dispatched for one action, which is fundamentally disproportionate to the cost. But people don't care, and Charlotte can't do anything about it.
In addition, there is the "at least" word in the zero mouth, that is to say, the power of zero mastery may be more.
Sharod suddenly felt that before he came to participate in this banquet, he should clearly read the list of important partners of the Black Rose family and the list of members of his organization. Otherwise, it's like now, giving Beatrice a strange meal to death.
Charrod laughed and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Zero's team to have so many talents, that's right. If Mr. Zero has so many capable people, his contribution is no less than the three of us. Just Mr. Zero, you don't think your manpower is too thin. It goes without saying that the capable people are fighting, but you can't leave them in Pavalić. In this way, it's only an army of hundreds of people. I don't think you can control this place independently.
Zero smiled, and that's what he was waiting for. Seeing his smile, Charlotte suddenly realized that something was wrong. The next moment, he only heard Zero say, "I can't manage it, but I can sell the management right. I think someone will be willing to buy it, right?
As soon as this word came out, Charlotte couldn't even maintain a superficial smile.
The meeting ended at ten o'clock. When I walked out of the conference room, all the proceeds of Pavalić and the Dungeon had been carved up. Zero town management was eventually bought by Charlotte and Austin. In a simple sentence, you can win more than 10 million yuan in your future earnings. Therefore, when they walked out of the conference room, Austin's faces looked a little ugly. After all, this is an unexpected expenditure.
After sending away the head of the two families, Beatrice said to Zero, "Well done."
"There is still more information from Miss Beatrice, otherwise, I won't get these benefits." Zero said truthfully.
Beyonris shook her head and said, "Nothing, you deserve it."
Nod, thank you again and leave. Watching his straight figure disappear into the shadow of the manor, Casilio whispered to his young lady, "I can see that this young man is not easy to control."
Beatrice smiled: "What's good about a puppet who can only bow down and obey? ally with independent opinions and strength is what we need, isn't it?"
Cassilio lowered his head and said silently. Beatrice has always been so confident, which reminds him of his old friend.
How similar this self-confidence is to her mother!
