Jackson did not disappoint Yang Yi, and without much effort, he found an acquaintance.
Although Yang Yi and Lin Feng didn't need to follow, they had nothing else to do. Considering that the two didn't know this place, they might get into trouble or be targeted by people with ulterior motives, Jackson could only take them. Besides, two more helpers are not a bad thing.
Of course, Jackson introduced this "acquaintance" to Yang Yi and Lin Feng.
This guy is called Ventola, from the far southern region, is the Iceman, a sparsely populated race split from the Polar Race. He is an intelligence broker whose main business is to sell key intelligence to pirates, such as the cargo and routes loaded by a certain transport fleet. In any pirate base, there are intelligence brokers like him, and no pirate will actively engage in evil with the intelligence broker. At the beginning, Jackson relied on the information provided by Ventola, avoided the pirate who was about to kidnap the local tyrant, and sent the local tyrant to his destination smoothly. Ventola got into trouble by selling the information to Jackson, and later lived and escaped in Jackson Shan State.
It is also true that Ventola and Jackson became friends.
In Jackson's words, although more than a hundred years have passed, Ventola owes him a favor, so entrusting him to help shouldn't be a big problem.
However, Jackson also clearly mentioned that any intelligence broker is not worthy of complete trust.
To put it bluntly, an information broker can sell information, as well as other things.
According to Jackson's instructions, Yang Yi and Lin Feng still dressed up as male and female robbers, and they were Jackson's men, members of the Warriors' Mercenary Corps. Although the Warriors Mercenary Group has long ceased to exist, it is very far away from the North Fourth District. Ventola may not know that Jackson and the others have been recruited by the Human Federation.
Following the marks along the way, Jackson took Yang Yi and Lin Feng to Ventola's residence.
Whether it is a pirate or a mercenary, there is a unique set of contact methods, most of which are marks that only their own people can recognize.
This place is not big, just a small house with an area of less than 100 square meters.
Obviously, Ventola is usually very low-key.
Of course, this is also the characteristic of intelligence brokers. Unlike the arrogant pirates, the intelligence broker is very low-key, because for the intelligence broker, if he gets into trouble, even if he doesn't lose his life, he will lose his job. You must know that no pirate is willing to buy information from the daily arrogant intelligence brokers, because the intelligence sold by such intelligence brokers often has big problems.
"Wait, don't mess around."
Both Yang Yi and Lin Feng nodded, expressing that they understood what Jackson meant.
After a long sigh, Jackson knocked on the door.
"Who?" After a while, there was an inquiring voice from inside the door.
"It's me, Jackson."
"I don't know you, no strangers are welcome here."
"Ventola, you don't even know me? I come all the way, and you will cool me out? Open the door, or don't blame me for being polite."
Yang Yi and Lin Feng were surprised, but they didn't show it.
At the beginning, Jackson told them not to mess around, and listened to what Jackson said, if the person in the door did not open the door again, he would smash the door.
"I said, I don't know you, please leave immediately, otherwise..."
Jackson said nothing, reaching out and grabbing the doorknob.
Although he did not exert all his strength, the original energy gushing from him immediately melted the doorknob, and the scorching heat was quickly transferred to the door panel.
"what-"
"Ventola, do you want me to smash the door open?"
"Don't wait a minute."
With a scream, another moment later, the door opened. Standing behind the door is an iceman, with very obvious physical features.
"Ventola, are you tired of your life? The old brother came all the way, and you didn't know you! I knew that I wouldn't save you back then, let the guys of the wild beasts kill you and feed the dogs ."
"Brother, it's really you."
"Why, can there be fakes?"
"Come in, please come in quickly." Ventola let the door open, and at the same time looked at Yang Yi and Lin Feng.
"They are my men." Jackson said casually and entered the room.
Yang Yi and Lin Feng were not wordy, they nodded to Ventola and said hello, and then followed Jackson into the room.
When the three of them entered, Ventola glanced outside again before closing the door.
"Not bad, your little life is very comfortable."
"Brother, look at what you said. It's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you back then, I would be dead."
"Yes, you remember."
There is a large room inside, but in fact this house has only one room. Although the furnishings are not luxurious, they can be regarded as luxurious in this ghost place.
"Brother, you've come here all the way, you can't..."
"Receive money and eliminate disasters for others, right?"
Ventola was taken aback for a moment, and understood what Jackson meant, so he didn't ask more.
"I'm coming to you, besides reminiscing about the past, there is one more thing to ask you for help."
Ventola nodded and invited Jackson to sit down. He looked at Yang Yi and Lin Feng again, but Jackson didn't ask Yang Yi and Lin Feng to avoid them, so it was difficult to ask more questions.
"Brother, let's not hide it. Brother has already taken refuge in the federal authorities and is now a federal soldier."
Yang Yi and Lin Feng were surprised secretly, not understanding why Jackson blew himself up. However, neither of them said anything, and now is not the time to talk nonsense.
"This… "
"This time, I'm here to perform the mission." Jackson exhaled and said, "Presumably, you have heard that the Human Federation has sent a special envoy to the Alliance Star."
Ventola was taken aback for a moment. Although he didn't speak, his expression showed that he knew these things.
"My task is to secretly protect the envoy."
"Brother, you know the rules of our business."
"Of course, it's just that I have no other way, otherwise I won't come to you."
"Brother..."
"Not long ago, the spacecraft that the special envoy was in disappeared here. At least as far as I know, the small spacecraft did not appear at the nearby space node as normal. Although it is not clear what happened, it is very likely to suffer. By the time of the attack, we won’t lose contact.” Jackson paused for a while and said, “Others, it’s not convenient for me to disclose, but the envoy’s destination is the Hidden Spirit Star, and the Hidden Spirit Race has been notified before departure. If the special envoy hasn’t Arriving at the Hidden Spirit Star on time, the Alliance Council will definitely inquire about the Hidden Spirit Race. At that time, in order to give an explanation to the Human Federation and to give the Alliance Council an answer, the Hidden Spirit Race will definitely initiate a search operation."
Ventola was taken aback again, and heard Jackson's overtones.
"Of course, it would be nice to be able to find a special envoy. But I am very worried. If it is a pirate who attacks the envoy, then after the troubles, they will definitely kill people. I came to you just to get relevant information. Find the special envoy before the hidden spirits take action."
"Brother..."
"Brother didn't beg you, did he?"
Ventola sighed without saying much.
"Furthermore, if the envoy is killed, no matter it is you or everyone here, it will definitely not end well." Jackson shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "You should know that the Human Federation is an ally of the Hidden Spirit Race. Now. , The Sixth Greenwich War has broken out, and the Human Federation determines the fate of the Galactic Alliance. With so many relationships, the Hidden Spirit Race will never let this matter go unnoticed. If the attacker is really a pirate, even if it’s not a pirate here, In order to quell the anger of the Human Federation and the Alliance Council, the Hidden Spirit Race will go to war. If the special envoy dies in the hands of the pirates, I am afraid that the Hidden Spirit Race will dispatch a legion to eliminate all the pirates in the central area."
"This… "
"Do you think that by then, you can still live here and enjoy a comfortable life?"
Ventola gritted her teeth, her expression visibly shaken.
"Of course, you can run away, you can go to other places to make a living. But, as an iceman, you know the top civilizations better than me." Jackson smiled faintly, and said, "Also, now is the time of war, and the Galaxy Alliance is very fast. There will be full-scale war mobilization. At that time, do you think there is a place for you in the Southern Alpha Galaxy? I'm not threatening you, I just hope you can understand."
"give me some time."
Jackson's brows jumped a few times, and he didn't rush to speak.
"I also heard about what you said. The spacecraft that the human envoy took did appear nearby and did not go to the next space node. It's just that all I heard are rumors, and there is no reliable information yet "Ventola took a look at Jackson before saying, "I understand what you are saying, but it takes time to gather information. Anyway, I will help you find it out."
"Brother, you made a mistake."
"what?"
"Not to help me, but to help yourself." Jackson smiled and said, "The above knows that I'm here, and knows who I've been to here."
"you… "
"Brother, I didn't mean to deal with you. As a soldier, I have to obey orders. Of course, as a soldier, if I fail to complete the task, I will be very disappointed."
Ventola was surprised, then sighed.
Obviously, Jackson was threatening him, and very directly.
"Okay, I'll give you some time." Jackson stood up and said, "Twelve hours, then..."
"Not enough, it will take at least three days."
"At most twenty-four hours, I will come to you again at this time tomorrow."
"Brother..."
"Of course, you can choose to escape. But, I have to make it clear. If you run away, you will no longer be my Jackson's friend."
Ventola was speechless, but didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Remember, you only have one day."
Abandoning these words, Jackson called Yang Yi and Lin Feng and left Ventola's residence. As for what channels Ventola used to collect intelligence, Jackson didn't care, because Jackson's purpose was not to let Ventola collect intelligence, but to spread the news through Ventola.
