A smile like the spring breeze in March suddenly appeared on Du Lin's stern face. He let go of his hand and the girl fell to the ground. While helping the girl smooth her hair, he helped the girl stand up, "Look, this is very simple. , isn't it? Why do you have to be so embarrassed?" Du Lin helped the girl to sit down on the edge of the sofa, and then decisively took out two blades from the girl's thighs and shoulders, "Get some wound medicine and Bring the bandage and prepare a set of clothes for her."
His eyes were as gentle as a warm boyfriend in love. He carefully and attentively helped the girl deal with her wounds, which made Angela, who had been trembling, suspect that the handsome but imposing young man in front of her was a psychopath.
She didn't dare to speak. After Du Lin helped her heal the wound and put a bandage on it, she curled up in a corner of the sofa and lowered her head, feeling very sad. She felt that she didn't love her family as much as she thought she had been separated for sixteen years. She was actually willing to say some things that she shouldn't have said in order to survive. This would most likely lead to her family being taught by the Earth God. Killed by soldiers.
The Earth God Cult spent sixteen years building a world for her that made her feel happy and fulfilled, and then shattered the world into pieces with their own hands, and then gave her a new hope, a future that she could touch. But now, she has ruined this future with her own hands. She feels that she has betrayed her family. She is so sad that she can't breathe. At this time, she feels that if she had been a little braver just now, maybe her family could survive.
Even if I lose her, I will definitely be happy and happy in the days without her. Even if she sacrifices her life for this, maybe she will be happy when she sees the happiness of her family in heaven, right
Du Lin patted the sofa cushion next to him and said, "Come, sit here."
The girl looked up at him, then quickly lowered her head. She slowly moved to Du Lin's side. She was now more afraid of Du Lin than the woman who shot her with a blade.
If Dufo knew, he might kill her.
"Tell me the answers I need, and I can give you what you want. This is an exchange of equal value, and I am a very honest businessman." Dulin took out his cigarette case, and he felt that Angela It will give you something to gain, "Do you want a cigarette?"
The girl took a quick look at the cigarette case and nodded hesitantly. Du Lin lit one and handed it to her. After the girl took a puff, she coughed violently. During the Earth God Religion, smoking was not allowed, regardless of male or female. Because it doesn’t take long to develop a habit like smoking, but it takes a certain amount of time to quit. If necessary, it’s not too late to learn this behavior after they are assigned a goal.
Not all targets like to be surrounded by kittens who smoke.
"Charles... is the great priest in the church, second only to the apostles and elders, and has a very high status in the church. Some time ago, an elder disappeared. The apostle said that he wanted to fill this vacancy, and Charles wanted to be the next one. level, so he accepted a task." At this point, the girl looked up again and glanced at Du Lin, who was listening carefully. "The task of pulling you into the church is very difficult. Charles feels that if he can do it, he will definitely do it. He will be appreciated by the apostle and let him fill that vacancy."
"I am just a means he uses. He hopes that I can persuade you to participate in an intra-sect event held next month. If possible, it is best to make you... like me, so the chance of success will be greater."
"The headquarters of the Earth God Cult is in Wagra Mountain. There is a cave halfway up the mountain to the east, right inside the cave."
Dulin nodded, "Very good. This information is very valuable. Do you know anything else? For example, what is the purpose of the development of the Earth God Cult to this day? What big figures have joined this church?"
Angela shook her head quickly, "I actually don't know much. I have been in the Holy Court Academy for these years and have no contact with other affairs in the church. I only started last month, maybe because I was selected. , so I got a little exposure to the common sense of life outside, I really don’t know anything else!”
Seeing the girl's expression about to cry, Du Lin felt that even if what she said was not true, it couldn't be all false. He waved to Dove, "Take her to take a bath, change her clothes, and then lock her in the attic on the third floor. I will consider whether to let her out after I figure things out.", said Then he looked back at Angela, "Do you have anything to say about my arrangement?"
Angela's eyes suddenly widened. She raised her hand to grab Dulin's arm, but in the end she put it back because she didn't dare. "Just now... didn't you just say equal exchange? Can you save me?" 's family? Charles may kill them because of my betrayal... Please, no matter what you ask me to do, I just want to save them."
Then Angela told Du Lin what happened to her. Du Lin nodded calmly after listening, "The things I promised will always be valid. Tell me their names and addresses. If you have not been deceived, If so, you will be able to see them here in ten days.”
Dulin's answer made Angela's whole body freeze there, as if her soul had left her body at that moment, leaving only an empty shell. She quickly came to life, tears bursting from her eyes, and she was too excited to form any effective words.
Dulin is neither a good person nor a bad person. He is a person with his own code of conduct. He will not pursue shaping himself into a good person because of external factors, nor will he give up his correct views because of other people's evaluation of himself. He is a person between good and bad. People who love him think he is an angel, and people who hate him think he is a devil. As for what kind of person he is, Dulin feels that as long as he can follow his own ideas To face the world, he is a satisfied person.
The next evening, Doolin went to Henry's suburban estate.
Owning a private manor is a very honorable thing in economically developed areas. After all, a manor often represents identity and status. However, owning a manor in the west does not make you look so great, because westerners call the manor as a "farm". This group of very realistic people will not pay attention to the size of the garden required to build a house on this worthless land. They are more concerned about what different things they can eat at night, or where they can get money to improve it. Let’s live together.
The buffet party in the evening was very small, and there were only eleven people in total including Du Lin, but these people all had a huge reputation in the west.
First of all, Henry, as the owner, is a very famous person. Just being the second son of a steel tycoon is enough to make him famous in the west, because of his life experience and because he has always been at a disadvantage in the struggle with the Western Mining Association. In addition, there are Sandra, a woman who is like a snake or scorpion in the eyes of Westerners, and Mr. Cleranf of Jindis Mining Group, as well as other representatives of large group companies in the West. These people all serve different group companies or consortiums, but they all have the same characteristic in the west, that is, they have always been suppressed by the Western Mining Association.
There is no doubt about the influence of the Western Mining Association on the western mining industry. Even if the Orveli Group wants to get some ores and metal ingots, they have to wash the mining area with blood and then buy it and run it themselves. This shows the dominance of the Western Mining Association. It's definitely more than just words.
In the past, they may have had some contact with each other, but it was just a connection. But since Dulin came to the west, he realized that this was a powerful force. The reason why they did not form an effective interest group before their appearance may be related to the chaotic competition between them. The complex competitive relationship prevents many large group companies from forming an effective cooperation circle. They need a fulcrum to support their limited cooperation with each other, and Dulin is this fulcrum.
First of all, Du Lin did not have any competitive relationship with them. After he came, he kept enclosing land and building farms. Even if he had some minerals under his command, he only had some. That was not his main business, so he was not a threat. Secondly, Dulin's status in society still has a certain deterrent effect. His reputation as the uncrowned king of the East Coast and the underground emperor of Otis also makes these people willing to recognize his status and accept his invitation.
Due to various factors, Dulin brought these people together through Henry as a bridge.
Next, just like the big fish eating the small fish in all capital games, they need to discuss how to completely dismember the weakened West Mining Association.
And how to distribute the profits after dismemberment and form a new interest group.
Dulin had just arrived at Henry's manor, and besides Henry, he was greeted by a young man he didn't know. He was in his thirties, dressed very simply, and had a scar on his forehead, giving him a look that had nothing to do with money. Special temperament.
"Let me introduce you. This is the executive director of Bondika Western Group, Mr. Carlos." After Henry shook hands with Dulin, he began to introduce the young man next to him, "Mr. Carlos heard that you If you want to come, you have to come with me to greet you." He glanced at Du Lin with a smile, explaining why a stranger would greet him, and then introduced Du Lin to Carlos, "This is our regular guest. Said the leader among the young people in the empire, Dulin."
Dulin took the initiative to reach out his hand and shake it with Carlos, "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Carlos."
Carlos smiled and agreed with Dulin's point of view, "Me too, Mr. Dulin."
