Chapter 838 Deceitful Negotiations, Original Sin of Greed

"No, my old friend, I have come."

Amid some cold laughter, a gentleman dressed as a foreigner had already sat in front of Smith Zhou, and smiled brightly at him.

And for this terrifying, even disgusting smile, Smith frowned, with a rare bit of anger.

"You are late, Mephisto. According to our agreement, you should have arrived an hour ago."

"It's not easy to do the work you arranged. Besides, I came a long time ago, but I just saw the guy sitting next to you. I don't have the courage to come up."

The smile on his face didn't even change, and Mephisto replied like this. As he spoke, he also unceremoniously stuffed the food in front of him into his mouth. That ferocious eating appearance made many diners who are used to seeing foreigners eating appearance feel horrible.

As for this, Smith just frowned slightly, and then said to him with a little sarcasm.

"What, the majestic Mephisto, the lord of hell. Is there such a low-level emotion as fear?"

"Fear?" Hearing this, Mephisto, who was feasting, raised his head, showing a greasy smile. "This kind of emotion is not low-level at all. This is something that any living creature in this world must learn. Only when you learn fear, can you know what is worthy of awe. And only when you learn awe, can you know what It is what I deserve. Isn't it because of awe that human beings can stand out from all living beings and become the masters of the earth now?"

"I'm not here to discuss this kind of human development with you. Tell me, how is your preparation going?"

Putting down the water glass in his hand, Smith asked him directly about his work. Hearing his question, Mephisto raised his head so that he could wipe his mouth leisurely, before speaking to him slowly.

"Of course I have done everything you ordered. However, I have to explain that just to pave the way for your plan, it is not good to directly make all your loyal running dogs into sacrifices." Bar."

"You mean those from the Yashida family?" Smith immediately sneered when he heard him say that. "Why, do you think I don't know that they contacted you secretly, trying to use your power to defeat me and seize control of Hydra?"

"You know. Well, I'm no exception to that. After all, it's the baron who can't fail,

If you can't even see the double-heartedness of your subordinates, then you are not worthy of cooperating with me to this extent. Just, is it necessary to do that? You know, without Yashida, your control over Hydra's Asian region will be completely out of control. At this time, facing an aggressive government alliance, this is not a wise decision. "

As if he had some good intentions, Mephisto persuaded Smith like this. As for his statement, Smith is completely sneering.

"Did you know? Mephisto, in this country, there is a saying that you must first secure the inside if you fight against the outside world. If you can't even subdue those who have two hearts under you, then how can you face the more powerful outsiders?" What about the enemy?"

"But, my old friend. The history of this country is also telling you such a thing. If you fight among yourself desperately, the end result is nothing more than letting outsiders take advantage of it. There is a saying that says So, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins?"

Mephisto's expression has evolved to the point of heartbroken. If someone who doesn't know him, I'm afraid he really thinks that he is distressed to this extent because of his friends. It's just that Smith knows very well what kind of guy this guy with a layer of gentleman's skin is like in the Mainland. So he wasn't impressed by his expression at all. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and asked him a cold question.

"So, who will be the fisherman?"

As soon as this question was asked, Mephisto, who was still smiling, immediately restrained his expression, and no longer entangled in this question. And this also proved that the reason why he showed this appearance was just to cover up.

The snipe and the clam compete with each other, and if a fisherman wants to make a profit, he must see the pair of snipe and clam competing. And Smith used thunderous means to wipe out those double-minded guys under him. It can be said that overnight, blood flowed into rivers for those evil-minded guys, and they were completely wiped out.

In order to cover up such actions, he even mobilized secret troops, went directly to the isolated island prison and gave the US government a surprise attack, and used a fancy bomb to seduce all their eyes. In this case, the completely dazzled government allies naturally cannot be the so-called fisherman. And the real fisherman is obviously only this well-dressed guy in front of him.

Smith will never forget the devil's real face under the skin of this well-dressed guy. Such a guy would never have kindness to anyone. Even if they currently have the status of partners, it is completely impossible for Smith to trust him.

Just like it is now, Smith asked him to wipe out the Yashida family, perhaps because he found out that they were colluding. This is a nomination certificate, an opportunity for Mephisto, a partner, to prove his position. And as a cunning guy, Mephisto naturally made the smartest decision.

For him, cooperation belongs to cooperation, and interests belong to interests. When he needs to make a choice, he will naturally choose the side that is more beneficial to him. At this point, Smith undoubtedly maintains a huge advantage. So naturally he would not hesitate to show his loyalty to him.

Of course, they all know that this is just a performance. In the end, it was just that the conditions provided by Smith moved his heart too much. Otherwise, with his temper as a devil, it would be impossible for him to do his best for Smith. Moreover, a large part of the reason for this is that Smith is too tight-lipped.

He took every step of the way and didn't give Mephisto a chance to take advantage of the loopholes. And the conditions he proposed were like a carrot tied in front of a donkey, making Mephisto salivate. Always being hung up like this will naturally make Mephisto feel uncomfortable. And he and the people under Smith had quietly reached an agreement, perhaps because he wanted to give him a warning.

He believed that Smith's wisdom should also understand his warning. It's just that he couldn't help but remind him.

"Smith, about your plan. I think I need to remind you. Should you speed up the progress? You know, I have put in a lot of effort for this plan of yours, but until now, your plan has not been connected. Not a single one. It's not good, very bad. You know, a lot of people have a limit to their patience, including me."

"Mephisto, if you have a way to hold back the person you just saw here. Then I don't mind launching my plan now. And if you can't, then just wait for me , don’t make trouble around me. I can tell you very clearly that I will only start my plan when I think it is the most suitable time. If you are impatient, you can quit my plan now .”

Faced with Mephisto's hint, Smith naturally saw it clearly and clearly. But he didn't mean to compromise. On the contrary, on this issue, he insisted on his position very much, and he didn't even allow anyone to give him any opinions.

Facing Smith's attitude, Mephisto's pupils shrank, and the smile on his face suddenly became a little hideous. He really wanted to overturn the table and use the most violent and direct actions to get what he wanted. He has done this kind of thing countless times in the past countless years, and it can be said that the experience has been sufficient and cannot be sufficient. But facing Smith, he couldn't do that at all.

The reward proposed by Smith was full of temptation for him, so he couldn't make up his mind to turn the table. And his cunning also made it impossible for Mephisto to get any reward even if he overturned the table. Mephisto is a devil after all, and the devil is the most profitable existence. After weighing the gains and losses several times, he immediately restrained the expression on his face, and then restored his smile to his most gentlemanly state.

"I understand what you mean. Smith, I will give you full patience. But I also hope that you can be worthy of my trust. You know, a devil's trust is not something easy to get. If you let me down If so, then even an outstanding man like you will definitely feel the torment of hell. On this point, please believe me, I have no lies."

"Of course." The threat from the devil did not make Smith feel any timidity. He twitched the corner of his mouth and revealed an indifferent smile. "Since I dare to deal with the devil, I have already made full mental preparations. Therefore, you don't need to worry about anything unnecessary. Everything is under my control. Just show a little patience, You'll get what you want."

"That's the best. In this case, I will wait for your summons, Mr. Smith Zhou."

After taking a deep look at Smith, Mephisto stood up and quietly walked away from him. And looking at the figure of the devil gradually disappearing in the darkness. The most obvious disdain appeared on Smith's face.

Greed is always the original sin of man. And even the devil cannot escape the influence of greed. There is no end to being greedy together, but don't they all think about whether they will be exhausted because of this? I'm afraid it's not that they don't know these things, but that they don't want to think about them at all. In the final analysis, it was the huge interests that made him selectively forget about this possibility.

In Smith's eyes, this will be the biggest mistake he has ever made, a mistake that will never happen again. (To be continued.)
