My silence lasted less than half a minute, and then I quickly laughed.
Anyway, I had already thought about it before I came here. This concession is what I have to do, so now it is better to accept my fate honestly. Instead of finding a way to refuse, it is better to think about how to get more benefits for myself.
Having made up my mind, I immediately smiled: "Mr. Thorin, I have indeed achieved some results in my business recently, but of course, without the support of your powerful ally, I'm afraid I would not be able to make this step. "Then, I pretended as if I had just remembered it, with a look of "surprise", and said: "Ah, by the way, I suddenly had a good idea. I am a little bit powerless about the business at sea... um, Since you are also interested in this business, how about we talk about it, maybe we also have the opportunity to cooperate. Mr. Solin, I wonder if you are interested in making some investment in the sea business?"
Damn, this is where I'm out of place! Obviously he used his power to force me to bow my head, but I still wanted to "invite" him into the game as if I was voluntary.
I secretly swear in my heart, I will definitely find a chance to get back such a useless person in the future! !
However, thinking so, I didn't show half of it on my face.
Seeing me "going on the road" like this, Sorin immediately gave Yang Wei a deep look. He was probably very satisfied with the work of Yang Wei, a "lobbyist".
But this guy is a bitch and wants to set up a memorial archway, so at this moment, he deliberately made a somewhat troubled expression, and thought about it with his head, and slowly said: "Oh, I think your proposal is very interesting, um, although I've been a little tight on funds recently, but since everyone is an ally, and I've always been willing to help young people... Well, Chen Yang, I'm very interested in your proposal, why don't we find someone in the back Let's talk in a quiet place."
Shit, are you interested in my proposal? If I don't mention this "proposal", I'm afraid you will show your knife to me!
My heart was full of anger, but I smiled more calmly on my face: "Okay, I'm very happy."
"Okay, Wei Wei, it seems that I will borrow your male companion for a while." Suo Lin still smiled happily and said to Yang Wei.
Yang Wei nodded immediately: "OK, I can just take a look around, Uncle Sorin, I happen to be very interested in the racecourse behind you, oh, I really miss Garros so much... I know it's very late Yes, but if you don't mind, I'd like to go and see the horse."
Of course Sorin would not refuse such a small request, not to mention that Yang Wei just made a great contribution to him and successfully "persuaded" me. Sorin waved his hand, and immediately asked someone to take Yang Wei to the racecourse behind.
Sorin smiled at me: "Come on, young man, I'll show you something interesting."
I followed Sorin around the left side of the castle, the cobblestone road, and the carefully trimmed tree walls on both sides, none of which highlighted the magnificence and dignified nobility of the entire castle.
"Do you like this place?" We walked slowly all the way, and walked away from the lively banquet hall. There was no one here, and Sorin smiled as he walked slowly: "How about my castle?"
"It's like a palace here." I sighed, admiring it from the bottom of my heart.
"Hehe, the road you are walking now is completely modeled on the garden road in the French royal palace. Even the gardeners I hired are French, and they have been working as gardeners for eleven generations. He is a member of the royal family of France."
When Thorin said these words, he was somewhat proud.
Under the corner of the castle, under the base of the large block of white marble, there are various exquisite carvings, and on several exquisitely designed angles, there are huge searchlights that shine upwards, brightening the castle at night. Dyed with a dazzling color.
We went all the way from this road to the back, passing a fenced off area, which was guarded by some of Thorin's bodyguards.
"This is an area for non-tourists." Sorin smiled and pointed to himself: "Because I made some special toys here, and I usually don't let guests see these things. You Look, although I'm old, I always have a little secret, don't I?"
I walked to the left side of the castle and walked straight down this road. Although there are still tree walls and lush greenery on both sides, I have vaguely seen the iron fence from behind the tree wall, but it is not so obvious because it is blocked by the tree wall.
I just feel that this place is getting more and more gloomy. It no longer has the rich and noble atmosphere in the castle, but it has a smell like death... Well, it's like a prison!
It was another fence gate. I walked in with Sorin, and Sorin's men immediately closed the gate. In front of me is a large yard surrounded by tree walls. Although it is still green, there is a bloody smell in this green.
There is a row of low stone houses in this yard. To my surprise, these houses are very short. Obviously, only part of the building is exposed on the ground, and the other part should be underground.
And in the middle of the yard, there is a big pool that is four or five times bigger than my swimming pool at home! But obviously, this is definitely not a swimming pool. Although I also heard the sound of rushing water in the pool, the concrete platform outside the pool is as high as my chest, and there are high iron fences on it! !
"Look, this is my little toy." With a smile, Sorin pulled me towards the side of the pool.
The outside measurement of the cement platform on the left side of the pool, this area of about ten meters is built very high, a full three meters, and there are steps all the way up, the two of us walked on the steps, looking down, the whole pool is All fell into the eyes.
In the pool below, which is five times larger than my swimming pool, the bottom of the pool presents a slope, and only half of the pool water is filled, so that about one-third of the area is dry ground exposed to the water. And there, there were some piles of scattered stones, and some strange plants, among which I even saw a few...
I was stunned!
The hard leather skin, narrow but long body, lying on the ground, is as quiet as a ghost. Pointy long crocodiles, thick ones, the smallest one is at least three meters long...
"Amazon man-eating crocodile." Thorin's eyes flashed almost cruel, and the smile on his face didn't look so kind now: "Look, this is my little toy—my favorite small toy."
He seemed very excited about these "toys" of his own, and his speech speed was much faster: "Look, there are four in total... well, I originally raised six in total. But you know, this is North America, It's Toronto, Canada. This little thing that survives in the tropics is a little uncomfortable here. Although I have spent a lot of money to take care of them and installed all the necessary equipment here, two of them died. Fortunately, The current four are still thriving.”
I counted silently, there were only three on the ground, and then, I saw a slight fluctuation in the water surface, and a huge black figure emerged from the water, revealing a little body, and then approached the shore... A nearly four-meter-long crocodile slowly climbed up, and when its huge body came out of the water, it looked like a monster.
"Oh, this is Jamie, look, Jamie, that's my name for her... oh, you heard me right, I said 'she', it's my favorite girl because she's very Edible, very edible." Thorin was smiling, and then with a wave, the people around him immediately handed over two cigars. Thorin took one for himself and handed me another at the same time.
I silently lit the cigar and glanced at the dark pool below.
At this moment, with a bang, four high-power searchlights were turned on on the four railings around the pool! The strong light hit the pool water, and everything became so clear immediately! !
Thorin was smoking his cigar, with obvious enjoyment in his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Every time I'm in a bad mood or in a good mood, I always come here." He glanced at me deliberately: "By the way, Let me watch something interesting."
He snapped his fingers...
Afterwards, Sorin's two men immediately dragged out a sack from the low house in the back! From the size of the sack and the wriggling shape, I can tell that there is a person inside!
Sure enough, the sack was untied, revealing a ragged white man with blood all over his face. The man had already collapsed. He was thrown under the steps where we were standing, with his hands and feet tied. When he saw Thorin, Immediately, he shouted loudly, and then seemed to be struggling to jump up and hug Sorin's legs, but he just moved a little before he was kicked away by Sorin's men.
"Dear Mr. Larry." Thorin said lightly: "You are my old friend... As an old friend, you should understand that it is a very painful thing to be betrayed... You see, when you were my friend, Life is so good, but why did you betray me? Since the day you betrayed me, you have chosen to stand on the side of my enemy. You should know that I am not soft-hearted towards enemies. "
