Chapter 905: Who Is the Real Background Coffee
The news that the Montenegro family and United Mining spent money to take Eros away did not hide it, but publicized it.
After all, in so many years of confrontation with Eros, this is the first time they have caught each other, which is definitely a morale booster.
In the previous confrontations, although they were able to besiege Eros in Port of Stars, this guy always had a way to escape every time, and the small forces were itching with anger.
This time he successfully "captured" Eros. After hearing the news, the small forces in Port of Stars were comparable to New Year's Eve, and almost all sent out congratulations.
Next, we only need to carry out an arbitration judgment on Eros according to the losses of each company. According to preliminary statistics, the bad influence and losses caused by Eros are enough to be sentenced to life imprisonment!
Just send it to Qunxing Port Self-Government Committee for execution.
When he arrived at the prison of the Port of Stars Self-Government Committee, it was not something that Eros could escape if he wanted to.
Just when everyone was expecting to see Eros's tragic end, this guy escaped on the way to escort him to the dungeon of the Montenegro family!
Disappeared without a trace.
Everyone was overjoyed and sad, and the Xiaoxin family who heard the news was even more angry, and it was difficult to find a place to vent their anger.
At this time, someone made a bold guess.
The front hand of the Umbrella Foundation collected money and sent Eros out, and the second hand Eros was lost. No matter how you look at it, the ultimate beneficiary is also the Umbrella Foundation.
And before leaving, Link also sold the tools to bind Eros, and the price was 10 million, but was rejected by the Montenegro family and United Mining. Now that Eros is gone, the Umbrella Foundation is the most suspected!
Looking at the members of the Phantom Thieves Legion, after they left, Link let go of all the members of the Phantom Thieves Legion. And now these members have disappeared without a trace, as if the water melted into the sponge, it is hard to find traces.
After some turmoil, the income from Eros' kidnapping and the income from the two forces' extortion from Eros all went to the Umbrella Foundation. The only winner in this event is Link!
From the Black Mountain family and United Mining, they also learned about Link's general strength, which is around the B level. Moreover, the strength of the cadres in the foundation also ranges from C to B level. If it is purely based on paper strength, the Umbrella Foundation is at best the standard of a small power in Qunxinggang.
Of course, the Umbrella Foundation with its keel and psychic powers is definitely not as simple as it seems. There must be super figures sitting in it, and even Link, the president, may be the spokesperson launched by the big boss behind the scenes.
But small powers don't care about this either,
They just need to find the Qunxing Port Self-Government Committee, write a joint letter to express this doubt, and request the Self-Government Committee to investigate.
These small forces add up and pay billions of taxes to Qunxinggang every year. Of course, this money can't be spent in vain, can it?
The Montenegro family and United Mining rejected the request of the small forces to unite. They admitted their losses in this matter and decided to stop here.
As for what other indignant forces think, that has nothing to do with them.
The price paid for this matter is enough, and they agreed to Link's request when they bought Eros, and now openly join the small forces in the accountability of the Umbrella Foundation, which will seriously affect their reputation. If one party fails to keep its promise, no one will cooperate with them in the future.
Small forces have also acquiesced to this situation, and verbal promises are also considered promises, which are the foundation of the power. Even happy to see this scene.
After all, they are targeting the Umbrella Foundation, so what if they don't know the internal situation?
The Montenegro family and United Mining are in charge of making friends and inquiring about the actual situation of the Umbrella Foundation. They are in charge of putting pressure on the Autonomous Committee and requesting an investigation. Only a two-pronged approach can be effective and ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Soon small forces united to submit an application requesting an investigation of the Umbrella Foundation.
The autonomous committee is also very difficult. On the one hand, it is a super-large aircraft, and the civilization represented behind it is the object they need to make friends with.
On the other hand, there are small forces in Port of Stars. If this matter is not handled well, it will lose popular support, which in turn will affect the self-government committee's rule over the Morvor galaxy cluster.
So the Self-Government Committee hesitated again and again, and after discussion, decided to ask the Qunxinggang Gendarmerie to investigate the matter.
If the investigation is true, Qunxinggang will not pretend not to see it, and will definitely give the small forces an explanation.
However, if it is determined that the Umbrella Foundation is innocent, the Self-Government Committee requires small forces to apologize to the Umbrella Foundation and provide financial compensation to a certain extent.
All the small powers nodded in agreement with the request made by the Autonomous Committee.
The current situation couldn't be more clear, the Umbrella Foundation is definitely inextricably linked with Eros.
Everything was too coincidental, and according to Xia and the joint mining committee's statement, Link and Eros hit it off, and the two sides also had friendly exchanges inside the mechanical fortress, and there was no trace of tension at all.
So, call this hostage?
Just as the undercurrent was surging in Port of Stars, Link and some cadres were already shopping.
In the previous life, Qunxing Port was the main activity place for players, and Link was quite clear about the layout and location here.
Although the time of arriving at Qunxing Port was a year behind the previous life, when browsing, Link checked the navigation guide, and the shops and facilities he knew in the previous life are also here, and there is no change because of a year earlier.
Just as everyone was shopping to buy the materials they needed, a group of people suddenly appeared to stop them.
This group of people wore white armor, and their faces were completely covered by the helmets. Only the eye sockets and nose showed black mirrors and breathing valves.
The soldiers are equipped with standard weapons, and it can be seen from the style of the weapons that the specifications and technological content of these weapons are higher than those made by Helen. The gap is not a gap in strength, but a result of advanced knowledge. As long as Helen gets the corresponding advanced knowledge and completes the knowledge of these weapons, she can also create weapons of the same level.
"Hello, is this President Lin of the Umbrella Foundation and his party?" the armored military police headed by one of them said, with a hoarse voice like electric current.
The cadres around Link sent scrutinizing glances one after another, and a strong aura surged from his body, and they were on full alert.
"Yes, what's the matter with you?"
Link has already recognized the armored military police in front of him, this is the military police guard of Port Qunxing. It is responsible for maintaining the law and order of Qunxinggang, a population of 8 billion. It is an official organization above all forces, and it is only loyal to the Autonomous Committee.
"Hi, I'm Jiawen, deputy captain of the Qunxinggang Gendarmerie. We need to know something, and we need you to go to the Gendarmerie with us to talk and confirm. I hope Chairman Lin will cooperate."
Not only was Link not angry, but he even smiled.
If the expectations are correct, this incident must have something to do with Eros.
Before Link could speak, the cadres around Link quit.
Gamesh and Graves stood in front of Link: "When we first came here, it's unreasonable for you to arrest people for questioning without any evidence?"
Miranda and Sean also grabbed Link's sleeves tightly, not wanting Link to pass by, their eyes full of tension and reluctance. The energy of Phoenix True Fire and Shadow Flame around the two of them seemed to be irrepressible.
Link touched the heads of the two, comforted them, and then asked Jiawen: "What you want to know is related to Eros, I just heard that he escaped at the hands of the Black Mountain Family and United Mining. Why do you say this is necessary, to save 10 million, let Eros slip away, isn't it a loss to the wife and a loss of the army?"
Jiawen also upholds a fair attitude, nodded slightly to Link and said: "President Lin, we are not arresting people, but just want to confirm some things with you. If you have nothing to do with this matter, Qunxinggang will compensate you."
"If my guess is correct, it should be the joint application of the small forces in Port of Stars to investigate me thoroughly, right?"
Jiawen didn't hide anything, and nodded.
"President Lin, please believe in our law enforcement level. The Gendarmerie Guard is responsible for investigating this matter, and will definitely investigate the truth and return your innocence!"
Link glanced and saw some men with furtive eyes not far from the gendarmerie. Not surprisingly, these people should be sent by small forces to monitor the actions of the gendarmerie guards.
But who knows that these small forces are gradually falling into the trap set by Link.
Link tidied up his clothes a little and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll go back with you to accept the investigation, and I hope Qunxinggang's compensation won't disappoint."
On the way back, Link talked to Jarvan.
"What about your Captain Chris? Why don't you see him in charge of this mission?"
Jiawen's heart moved, and he asked with some doubts: "Does President Lin know our captain? The captain has returned from vacation in other places, and there are still a month or so of vacation left, and he is resting at home now."
Facing Jiawen's doubts, Link didn't directly tell the truth.
Link replied: "Oh, it's not considered acquaintance, it's just a one-time relationship."
Link really wasn't lying, during his fight with Thanos, he really only had a brief encounter with Chris. Chris then continued his vacation in Mustafar, and he used the portal to return to Vormir.
As for the token that Chris handed over to Link, Link didn't take it out in a hurry. If the identity is announced directly, then this scene will not be fun.
Link arrives at the Port of Stars Gendarmerie Guard.
The architectural style here is quite a Soviet minimalist style, and the sculpture at the door has a strong unique artistic style.
The image of a standing gendarme, covered with gendarme armor, half of the body is in a realistic style, and the other half is composed of planetary buildings in Port of Stars, including three mechanical star rings.
All these cleverly fit together to form a sculpture with strong tension.
Behind the sculpture, a white road leads directly to the lower buildings behind.
The building of the Gendarmerie Guard is not tall, and there are only five floors by the naked eye.
However, each floor is extremely wide and located in the center, which immediately gives people a sense of calm and solemnity.
Entering the gendarmerie building, the other party did not directly restrict the person, but Jiawen and Link started a conversation and asked some things about Eros.
"May I ask President Lin, when and where did you and Eros meet?"
Link didn't hide anything, and said directly: "The Umbrella Foundation came all the way from the edge of the Moor galaxy cluster. Two days before we were about to arrive at Port of Stars, we happened to find a battle in the ore belt. After inquiry, it was Montenegro There was a dispute between the family and the United Mining Industry over the ownership of an ore belt. While the two sides were fighting, Eros appeared with the monster thief army to reap the benefits of the fisherman and captured both sides. And I have also heard strange things about Eros in the universe. Fame. I was quite interested in his maverick character, so I invited them to sit on the Black Throne. During the one-and-a-half-day contact, I found that this guy is indeed a maverick. There are always unexpected behaviors. For I'm not interested in the fact that Eros created the opportunity to kidnap the Black Hills family and the United Mining Commission. So I didn't get involved in this matter. Feeling that Eros had a little hostility towards me, I thought about kidnapping him to earn a ransom. I'm curious what this guy with a happy nature looks like when he gets deflated? Apparently I did, it's a really interesting guy."
Link's answer was impeccable, and this situation is consistent with the information obtained from Xia and the United Mining Committee.
"Then I would like to ask Chairman Lin, why did you think of selling things to control Eros to the Black Mountain family and the United Mining Industry?"
Link asked with a slight smile: "Do you still remember the first time you met Eros, how did he make you feel?"
Link didn't answer directly, but instead asked a rhetorical question.
Jiawen thought for a while, and replied directly: "The first impression of Eros is that he is weird and maverick. And this has been confirmed in the subsequent incidents. His ideas are completely different from ordinary people. If you want to understand a person, you have to consider the situation from his thinking. But this guy has a strange thinking, and no one can get in sync with him, which is why small forces have been losing."
"That's what I discovered. The Montenegro family and United Mining were randomly designed by the other party using tactics. If I hadn't been here this time, his ransom of 16 million would have been obtained. And before the small forces jointly captured Eros , Let him escape successfully every time, do you think such a person has no cards? It just so happens that I have a few things that can limit him, and the price of 10 million is already a friendly price, but it’s a pity that some people don’t know what to buy!”
Link's words severely mocked the short-sighted Black Mountain family and United Mining, and even small forces have become waste in his mouth.
And the representatives of various small factions who appeared in the other room were furious when they heard Link's words, but they couldn't find any reason to refute.
The conversation between Jiawen and Link ended, and Jiawen asked, "President Lin, you don't mind if I save the content of the chat just now?"
Link showed a mysterious smile and said, "It's okay to save, but can some of the content be deleted?"
Jiawen was a little curious, not knowing that Link felt that those contents were sensitive.
"Which part of the content is President Lin referring to?"
"There are those words about my complaints about small forces. If these words are heard by them, they must not jump out of embarrassment~"
Jiawen chuckled. The representatives of those small forces were all watching in the next room. He could already imagine that this remark would cause great harm to them.
"President Lin was joking, thank you President Lin for cooperating with our investigation work, and I am very sorry for wasting your precious time. In order to express Qunxinggang's apology again, please accept this discount card very much. With this card, you can You can enjoy a 10% discount once you spend anywhere in Qunxing Port, and there is no upper limit. It is compensation for wasting your time. If after investigation, it is determined that you have nothing to do with Eros, we will give you additional compensation."
Jiawen's answer was very decent, and Link accepted the discount card without too much refusal.
10% discount once, no cap.
Used well, it can save a ton of money.
Although this compensation is very tricky in Link's view, in order for the Umbrella Foundation to gain a firm foothold in Port of Stars, some necessary steps still have to go through.
The idea came about after Link met Eros.
If all rely on their own strength, then the rise of the Umbrella Foundation will be an extremely slow process.
But now that there is Eros, Link can take advantage of it.
This "momentum" is the hostility towards Eros from the small forces in Port of Stars.
As long as there is this hostility, it can easily blind their nerves and cause them to make wrong judgments.
He just invited Eros to accompany him for two days, but was judged by small forces as an accomplice of Eros, and even moved out of the gendarmerie for interrogation. After digging into the background, it must be a joint letter to the self-government committee.
But he, Link, was sitting upright and standing upright, which had nothing to do with Eros.
After some investigation, it was determined that Link had nothing to do with the escape of Eros, and got rid of the relationship between the two accomplices. At that time, no matter whether it was Port of Stars or a small force, they would only have guilt and apology for Link.
Relying on this kind of guilt and apology, as well as the compensation in his mouth, Link can quickly establish contacts with these forces in Port of Stars, paving the way for the development of the Umbrella Foundation.
So now the deeper the misunderstanding, the greater benefits Link can gain, and he even wished that some medium-sized forces would join in and express their opinions on him.
After all, you still have to believe in karma!
"Okay, thank President Lin for cooperating with our work, our conversation is over here." Jiawen smiled and stood up to shake hands with Link.
In another room, the representatives of the small forces were a little unhappy.
"Why let him go?"
"Can you leave just by talking?"
"He must have something to do with Eros, the two belong together!"
It's just that these complaints are useless. As the deputy captain of the Gendarmerie Guard, Jiawen will definitely handle it impartially and will not favor any side.
Because he represents the justice of Qunxing Port.
"Quick, go and ask Captain Chris to come here, now only Captain Chris can make the final decision!"
It's just that Captain Chris, as the captain of the gendarmerie, has a high position and authority, how can such small forces like them have access to it?
Although some small forces have this relationship, they don't want to use it lightly.
But just as they were jumping to the fire, Link got up and walked to the door. Just as he went out, a voice rang out and stopped Link.
"After coming here, you still want to leave so easily?"
