Chapter 183 The Boss Behind the Black Market
After taking the black gold card back, Duan Ming did not put it back in his pocket, but placed it directly on the table, obviously determined to win the last item.
"This last piece should be the Titan flagship battleship, right?"
When Duan Ming heard the staff member's answer, his expression suddenly became a little strange.
"Sir, the last auction item is always randomly selected from the most valuable auction items in our black market. It may not necessarily be the Titan flagship battleship."
Ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and Duan Ming couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw the last auction item appearing on the big screen.
Not the Titan flagship battleship!
Turning to look at the staff member, Duan Ming asked: "You said earlier that most of the things are sold at auction. What if I want the Titan flagship battleship?"
There was a hint of embarrassment on the staff member's face, and he thought for a moment before speaking.
"Sir, how about this? I'll report to the boss and see if I can open a back door for you?"
Duan Ming nodded and motioned for him to do this.
After the staff member left the room, Chong Nu whispered in Duan Ming's ear: "Master, those who followed us have found the garage."
Duan Ming was stunned, which also meant that they could not stay here for too long, but the temptation of the Titan flagship battleship was too great for Duan Ming, and he was not willing to miss it like this.
"Go and guard the boxing ring just now. If those people find out about this, kill them!"
The insect girl nodded, stood up and left the room.
Duan Ming was not worried about Chong Girl's safety. He was now thinking about how to find a perfect explanation if he killed these people sent by Admiral Nico to follow him.
…
Ten minutes later, the staff member returned to the room. Duan Ming could tell from the expression on his face that this matter must have been discussed!
"Sir, our boss invites you to come over. Do you want to see it?"
Duan Ming stood up and replied with a smile: "Lead the way."
After leaving the room and following the staff member deeper into the corridor, the two stopped.
"Sir, the boss is inside."
Duan Ming opened the door without knocking. It was an office-like room, and in front of the desk, a man with the same mask was sitting there looking at Duan Ming.
"Dear guest, please take a seat."
Duan Ming sat opposite the man. The two looked at each other through their masks for a long time before the man spoke.
"I wonder why you are so interested in the flagship battleship Titan?"
Duan Ming did not hide anything and said truthfully: "Buying a warship is naturally for war, otherwise it would be just for viewing?"
The reason why he is not too polite is because Duan Ming wants to have enough momentum to achieve the momentum that a master of his seventh domain should have!
"I wonder what price you can offer?"
Duan Ming had already thought about this question on the way here. He raised his hand and stretched out five fingers.
The man was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Five hundred million star coins?"
There was obvious disappointment in the tone, which made Duan Ming a little surprised. The cost of building the Titan flagship battleship was only around one billion. This was on the black market. Isn't five hundred million still less?
"Dear guest, you may not know exactly what we are selling. What we are selling for the Titan flagship battleship is the manufacturing drawings!"
Hearing this, Duan Ming was also surprised. He thought it was a completed warship. If it was really a production drawing, not to mention 500 million, even 5 billion would not be much!
The atmosphere in the office was a little silent for a while. Duan Ming's mind was spinning rapidly. He thought about all the ways to get money, and finally came to the conclusion that he still couldn't afford it.
"Businesses cannot be done in a righteous way. No one will be able to afford the production drawings of the Titan flagship battleship for a while. I will consider it after you go back. I look forward to your next visit."
Duan Ming had no intention of getting up even though he had already spoken about "seeing guests off".
"Do you...have anything else?"
Just when the man finished speaking, Duan Ming's actions made him startled.
Duan Ming raised his hand to put his mask on, then took it off, showing his true face.
"Guest, what do you mean?"
The man had already stood up and looked a little wary. After all, he knew that Duan Ming was a person with super powers. Could it be that he was going to rob someone by force?
Duan Ming stood up and walked to his side, raised his hand to push him back to his seat, and whispered.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I just have a business I want to talk to you about."
"W-what business?"
Duan Ming did not directly state his intention, but instead asked: "How long have you been doing black market business in Nicostar Port?"
The man swallowed and said, "Three, three years."
"Three years? It is really not easy to avoid being discovered by Admiral Nico for three years. Let me ask you again, isn't it enough for a customer of my level to meet the real boss behind this black market?"
Hearing Duan Ming ask this, the man turned his head sharply.
"What do you mean? I just..."
Before the man finished speaking, Duan Ming took off his mask directly. Although Duan Ming knew countless people and never missed them, the dodge in the man's eyes proved that Duan Ming's guess was correct.
He is just the puppet of the black market boss!
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Three rounds of applause sounded, and a secret door in an inconspicuous corner of the office opened, and a middle-aged man walked out.
"The current ruler of the Seventh Domain, the head of the Duan family, a young talent who is feared by all the Earth Alliance, is indeed extraordinary when we meet him today!"
This middle-aged man is the real boss behind this black market!
Three minutes later, Duan Ming and the middle-aged man sat opposite each other in the office, neither of them wearing masks.
"Tell me, what kind of business do you want to discuss with me? Head of the Duan family!"
Duan Ming smiled: "Before we discuss business, should I know your name first?"
The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent.
"Gu Fei, the brother of Lieutenant Colonel Gu Li who you killed."
Hearing his answer, Duan Ming was startled. He never thought that he would meet Lieutenant Colonel Gu Li's brother at Nicoxing Port! And he was so sure that Lieutenant Colonel Gu Li was killed by him!
"But you can rest assured. I broke away from the family ten years ago, and the family does not recognize my existence. Now, I care more about interests!"
Duan Ming took a deep breath to calm down his emotions.
"Okay! I will pay 500 million star coins to buy the production plans of the Titan flagship battleship, and I will find an asteroid for you in the seventh domain for you to build another black market! A black market that lives on the ground!"
