Chapter 199 Descendants of the Past
"Oh, this is really incredible." Xie Lian looked at this posture and his hand unconsciously reached behind him. Although as a Sequence 4, he has the ability to resist bullets to some extent, but it is not absolutely safe.
Surrounded by these armed men in red and black jackets, Allen walked forward slowly, thinking about how to ease the situation and get away. Tilan slightly lowered the brim of his hat and stood behind. Avni frowned, and seemed to dislike this kind of jumping and arrogant way of greeting. What's more, the man opposite looked almost thirty or forty years old with a beard, and was probably about the same age as her father.
"Sorry, I refuse." Avni was not a girl who was easily frightened by such a scene. She had even seen more outrageous scenes than this before. There were many weirdos in the rich family.
"Hey, are you refusing just like that?" The man opposite was still confident.
"Come on, come on, someone introduce my identity to this lady." Soon after he finished speaking, the man who had approached him before came forward.
He coughed twice before introducing himself.
"Ahem, beautiful lady, do you know who this handsome man next to me is? He is the second heir of 'Fen Tie Energy', the future king of Lebion, a man who has countless followers, thousands of iron wills, and who has stepped onto the top of the sea and sky step by step." After he finished speaking, he applauded, but the other red and black armed personnel around him did not follow suit, and the applause seemed a little quiet.
"Okay, okay, we should be more humble." Seeing the follower finished speaking, he waved his hand to let him retreat, and then walked towards the four people.
Just when everyone thought he had done something shocking and began to be on guard, the man suddenly stood still, turned his wrist, and revealed a small box in his sleeve.
Opening the red box, a deep red gem was revealed. The gem emitted a faint halo, and then red branches began to grow on it, like a miniature tree. These branches extended, and finally a ring surrounded by golden leaves slowly formed between the branches, hanging on the branches, shaky, but shining with golden light.
"For you, its color is as beautiful as your long hair, like the flowing golden morning light." Although his appearance is not satisfactory, this sentence is still quite poetic. I wonder where he learned it from.
"No need." Avni turned her face away, feeling annoyed. She had received countless expensive gifts since she was a child, and she had long been immune and tired of them.
Seeing that the other party was not shy or deliberately pretentious, but really disgusted and cold, Masiza was surprised and didn't know what to do for a while.
In Lebion, he usually only needed to show his good name to pursue girls. Even some reserved girls would be moved by luxury cars, gorgeous gems, and exquisite rings. This was the first time he encountered such an unexpected situation.
Use force? No, no, no, although the power of Fentie Energy is not small, he, Masiza, is still very face-saving. Robbery is not in line with his usual style.
"This beautiful lady, don't you know the value of this ring? It is--" Before he finished speaking, Avni interrupted him.
"It is the A31 model of the 'Red Gold Leaf' series under the 'Aiqinwei' brand. A total of 2,499 pieces were produced, and 128 pieces were distributed to the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region. The official website sold it for 2.88 million federal coins at the time. The Hester family bought 54 of them and distributed them to young women in the family at the time. That's why this series became popular in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region, and later it was sold for nearly 4 million federal coins each."
"I'm right, right?" After saying that, Avni glanced at him, as if looking at a country roe deer.
Such a look hit Masiza hard, and he also paid attention to the girl in front of him. It seems that she is not a girl from an ordinary family.
"Well, that's true." He put the box away.
Such a scene surprised the originally calm red and black armed personnel, and their eyes couldn't help but gather on Avni, which made the blonde girl a little irritated. She had long been accustomed to being stared at, but she couldn't stand such unscrupulous observation of her figure.
The faint anger ignited the magic power beside her, and a ball of flame gathered in the palm of her hand. The heat in it kept compressing and gathering. It was only the size of a fist, but it made people feel like they were standing in a raging fire, with waves of heat coming.
"No, no, no, my friend, this guest, please put out the flame immediately." The staff of the gas station next to her was very nervous, fearing that something would be ignited at this moment. There was a lot of oil here. If there was an explosion, no one would survive.
For the magic power burning like a raging fire, everyone in the venue was also frightened. Although it had not yet fully erupted, it was also seen that the power was not small.
This girl is definitely not an ordinary person. Such thoughts appeared in the minds of the people present, and Masiza also became a little more formal from the previous frivolous and playful.
"It seems that I neglected the guests, and I really deserve to be punished." He bowed to apologize, and then waved his hand again.
"Come on, give them three hundred rifle butts." After saying that, he clapped his hands, and the three people who had been thinking of flattering in exchange for benefits were dumbfounded. Why did you apologize but they suffered?
However, the situation in front of them would not change because of their thoughts. The red and black armed personnel on the side laughed and pressed the three people against the wall. Then the three members whipped their buttocks with the butts of their guns, and bursts of howling could be heard from time to time.
"Okay, I'm not interested in watching you make trouble like this. Can you get out of the way now?" Avni took a step forward. Although the flame in her hand dissipated, the residual heat in the air still told everyone that she was by no means powerless to resist.
"Let? No problem, but today I would like to invite this beautiful lady and her companion to visit my home. I believe this will promote our friendship."
"My friendship with Masiza is very rare, and it will also allow you to have a smooth journey in Lebion." In other words, if it weren't for his friendship, there might be all kinds of obstacles.
This kind of forced invitation is really annoying. Just when several people were thinking about whether they could get a yes, Tilan, who had never spoken in the back, finally spoke. The voice was like mountain water, clear and slightly cool, which made the originally messy scene quiet.
"It's okay to have dinner together, but I think you should also be a polite host instead of threatening in this way."
Hearing the cold voice here, everyone's eyes gathered, and then they found the black-haired girl who had been ignored by them. After she walked out, the others also nodded slightly and followed her, as if this girl who had been ignored was the backbone.
"Oh, it's really interesting. No problem. I agree." After saying that, Masiza clapped his hands again, asked the whipping people to stop, and then gave some instructions.
"There will be a car to pick you up later, please be patient."
Just when Tilan decided to go to the 'Fentie Energy' Group, Jinsenke and Red Hat also discussed the result.
"You mean, take us to the 'Black Hammer Heavy Industry' to participate in the mercenary selection first, and then blend in?"
"Yes, the money they give is still very generous. In this way, not only can we get a sum of money in advance, but also know the arrangement of the Black Hammer." Red Hat seemed particularly confident.
"But we have never been mercenaries before. There should be some standards for this kind of selection. In addition, can strangers get their trust?" Jinsenke is not stupid.
"That's no problem. Mercenaries come from all kinds of strange sources. There is no standard. Just disguise it a little bit..." Red Hat introduced everyone and finished the process. It was already evening.
After listening to all this, Jinsenk and he agreed to meet at a place tomorrow, and then returned to the truck with several companions.
It was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and the lights were still on in the car. Phyllis sat in the cab and chatted with N, asking some interesting things about N in the past. In the car, Yalian sat on the seat and typed on the keyboard, sorting out the information collected today. Avni leaned against the window, occasionally looking at the personal terminal, as if in a daze, and on the other side, Tilan took a nap on Dolores's knees.
"You are back." Hearing the footsteps of getting on the car, Ximu climbed up from behind the sofa, saw Gu Luo and Jinsenk nodded, and then continued to turn over.
"I won't stay in the car tomorrow. I feel more tired than usual driving. Let's change someone." He yawned and complained, saying that people came to harass and peek from time to time during the day, and there were also people trying to steal cars or steal parts.
"No problem, Allen, how are you doing today? I found a good business here. Although the risk is a bit high, the return is indeed generous." Jin Senke wanted to show off a lot of secret information he knew today.
"We are doing well here. I had a sumptuous dinner with a certain second son who was taken advantage of, and then I learned a lot of useful information from him." Allen put down his hands that were typing on the keyboard, then stood up, poured himself a cup of coffee, and prepared to continue fighting until late at night.
"Oh, is that so? Where did you go to eat? I would have stayed with Tilan earlier." Ruby pretended to be envious and regretful.
"Go to 'Fentie Energy'. It is said that they have a lot of power in the local area. I think the chefs in the hotel are a little afraid of him." Allen said his thoughts while telling Ruby and others about the scene he encountered today.
After Masiza appeared, his pursuit was rejected by Avni, and in the end, he seemed to be a little angry and had to invite several people to dinner to save some face. When several people were hesitating, Tilan stood up and agreed to the other party's request for the time being.
However, the dinner was not held at Masiza's home, but at a hotel in Lebion. During the dinner, the other party also tried to toast and inquire about the origins of several people, but they were all handled well by Allen and Avni.
"Although it was a bit troublesome to deal with him, fortunately, a lot of information was obtained, and direct conflict was avoided." Allen pushed his glasses.
"Masiza seems to be a dandy and face-saving person, but in actual contact, I feel that it is not that simple. Although he has always expressed that he is very interested in Avni, he is different from those who are really obsessed with beauty. I always feel that he is a little too persistent, but not so crazy, as if, as if..." He wanted to find a word to describe it.
"It seems that everything is just a disguise." Not far away, Tilan supported herself from Dolores's knees and said what Allen vaguely felt was wrong.
The black-haired girl stood up, poured herself a glass of pure water, and then sat by the window, blowing the cool night breeze.
"We also encountered interesting things here." After listening to the stories of several people, Jinsenk also pulled out a chair and sat down, talking about what happened during the day. Valk supplemented from time to time, while on the other side, Ruby said sleepily that she would take a shower and go to bed first.
...
"It seems that the two largest forces in the city are 'Black Hammer Heavy Industry' and 'Fen Iron Energy'." Allen briefly summarized.
"I heard from Masiza that a hundred years ago, the relationship between 'Fentie Energy' and 'Black Hammer Heavy Industry' was actually very good. At that time, the two sides even tried to form a marriage alliance. Unfortunately, the eldest daughter of 'Fentie Energy' died unexpectedly, which led to the failure of the marriage. After that, the relationship between the two sides became worse and worse."
"That's because, a hundred years ago, it was 'Fentie Energy' and 'Black Hammer Heavy Industry' that joined forces to defeat the other three groups and control the last cake of Lebion. They had a comradeship with each other." Jin Senke said the information collected today.
"Speaking of which, although I don't trust the plan of the red hat, I am very interested in many of the news and old stories he told. As you know, my family is an industrial group mainly engaged in suspension vehicles. The reason why it rose in the past was also related to the change four hundred years ago. However, they declined because of this, and our family rose because of this. "Jin Senke leaned back in his chair, speaking slowly, drinking some iced beer from time to time.
"When I came back, I checked the information on the Star Network about 'Black Hammer Heavy Industry' and 'Fen Tie United', and I really found some interesting historical materials. "
"In fact, their predecessors are all descendants of the 'Thirteen Heavy Industries' in the North Star District. These thirteen groups were very powerful in the North Star District at the time, with millions of employees under their command, many large heavy assets, and a lot of say. "
"But in contrast, their production lines or production by-products have caused a lot of pollution, and the large-scale discharge of toxic products has caused a lot of dissatisfaction, but because of the joint efforts of these thirteen groups, the North Star District Government has been suppressing and ignoring news related to pollution. "
"In this way, until the poisonous rain broke out in the end, the dark rain curtain submerged the northern districts, and things could no longer be suppressed, and even the Federal Central Council began to inquire. "
"Under the investigation of the investigators and interrogators sent by the Federal Central Star Region, the truth gradually came to light, and almost all the top leaders of the Thirteen Groups were thrown into prison to appease public anger. Later, the Thirteen Groups were dismembered by the Federation, and all the assets were sold to remedy and restore the local environment. "
"Factories and assets will not disappear out of thin air, and most of those who took over these factories and assets were middle-level employees of the Thirteen Groups. They were familiar with this and were also funded by some other capital. "
"Although a large number of polluting production lines were dismantled and modified, a small number of them still inherited their original functions. After all, some raw materials and intermediate products are indeed needed by various industries. "
"It's just that because the overall environment has been damaged and the North Star District has been declining, their situation has become worse day by day, until the North Star District was finally cancelled, the entire area was required to relocate by the government, and the remaining heavy industry groups began to fight each other internally. "
"Is this a kind of self-inflicted trouble? "Avni, who had been silent before, finally spoke up and woke up from her daze.
"The cause in the past is the result today."
I'm a little stuck, thinking about how to unfold it better
