"Charles!"
In an old manor covered by green shade, an old but full of spirit sounded, shaking the green and mutated creepers on the walls of the manor to sway. In the green leaves that are struggling to bloom, yellow-brown sap flows from the veins. This is the venom of the mutant creeper. The defense mechanism in the gene is activated when it feels the anger of this voice.
But after a while, no hostile targets could be detected, so the venom slowly retreated back to the roots.
In Charles' room, he struggled to get up on a big soft bed. Charles jumped out of bed and looked at the two graceful [carcass] bodies of **. After returning from the wilderness last night, he vented his anger on these two young maids who were only under 15 years old. It has to be said that these two girls were virgins, and their bodies were surprisingly elastic and tight, which made Charles quickly turn his anger into something else.
After two hours of continuous fighting, he fell into a deep sleep. During this period, he had forgotten how many times he had vented in these two bodies. It's hard to say that these two girls are amazingly resilient. If they were those delicate women in the old days, they would have disappeared under Charles' crazy sprint. But in this way, it is certain that I will not be able to get out of bed for two days.
"Master Charles."
Outside the door, the butler Laurence's anxious voice sounded. Charles had already heard his father's roar, so he shouted impatiently: "I see, tell the old man that I will go there immediately."
Putting on clean clothes, Charles yawned and walked towards his father's study. Outside the window, the morning light simulated by the Asgard holographic panel casts on the ancient carved windows in the corridor, casting beautiful light and shadow on the ground of the corridor. Charles smashed through these lights and shadows all the way, and came to the study of his father Mablos.
The study was a little gloomy, and Meblos was sitting on his red leather chair with a sullen face. On the desk in front of him, a small rectangular brocade box caught Charles' attention.
Charles saluted his father and said, "Good morning, dear father."
Meblos snorted through his nostrils and said, "It's not good at all, see for yourself what it is!"
He threw the brocade box towards Charles, and Charles was startled. How could his usually gentle and gentle father be so angry today? He caught the brocade box casually and opened it. There were three things in the box. They are an eyeball, a note and a pocket storage.
"What is this?" Charles asked in surprise, but there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.
Meblos said coldly: "See for yourself."
Charles unfolded the note, and on the paper were lines of words written in Gothic cursive script: Dear Majesty Maebros Lambston, I regret to inform you that your servant Bodong raided my territory last night for no reason. . Because of his rude provocation, I intended to capture him and return him to the Zunfu. Helplessly, the noble servant not only refused to be arrested, but even injured our soldiers. The only thing we had to do was to kill him. Due to the fierce fighting, I am deeply sorry that I could not save the whole body of your servant. Now I will return the stump of your servant, and attach a storage box, which contains a video of your servant attacking for no reason. You should know that everything I said is true.
Signed, it is "zero"!
Charles was surprised and angry after reading it. What surprised him was that Podong, the dark tyrant, was actually killed by Zero, and what made him angry was that what Ling did this time was a threat and a demonstration. He looked up at his father, gritted his teeth and said, "Father, we can't just leave this matter alone."
Unexpectedly, Meblos stood up and scolded angrily: "You idiot, don't you understand? He has evidence in hand, and Bodong attacked without reason, and we have already owed it. If we make a fuss about this matter again, we will only be punished." To add insult to injury, maybe even the Helben family will be involved in this matter. Besides, Podong is already our strongest fighter, unless the Helben family is willing to lend their elite, what can we do against zero! "
Charles was sprayed with saliva and paused. He whispered, "Is that all?"
"Of course not, but it needs to be considered in the long run. It seems that this zero is not simple, and it does not depend entirely on relationships. In this way, we can't act rashly. Recently, you give me a place, and don't cause trouble outside. Nothing they found." Mebros ordered angrily.
Charles lowered his head and said, "Got it."
But he felt reconciled. Being treated like this by Zero not only discredited the dignity of the Lambston family, but also made him lose face as the heir in line.
Looking at the sunlight coming in from the window at his feet, Charles only felt that the good mood in the morning had disappeared.
Although the incident of Bo [Dong]'s raid on the base and being killed was not widely circulated in Asgard, secretly, the news spread among the wine shops. The Lambston family was considered a prominent family in Asgard. The killing of the head of the family guard was undoubtedly a huge slap in the face for the Lambston family. Thinking about it a little deeper, it seems that even the Helben family behind them lost face together.
The most exciting thing is that Zero has a video of Bo [Dong] raid in his hands. With this video as evidence, the Lambston family did not dare to make a large amount of change to settle accounts, otherwise it would be brought to the court of Asgard, and Meblos would only suffer in the end.
Three days after the news spread, the Lambston family still did not take any action. It can be seen that Mebros vomited this dumb loss.
In this way, Zero and the company behind him were once again looked up to by the nobles. In the next few days, Zero Company received a lot of orders, and Ben and the Black Rose family received a new injection of funds. This caused Zero Point to start recruiting troops, expand the production scale of the arsenal, and put into operation three more new-age weapon production lines.
Everything is proceeding step by step.
On this day, Beyoncé invited Zero to meet. The housekeeper Casilio personally came to Zero's apartment to pick him up, and went with him to Black Rose's house. On the way, Cacilio looked at Zero with interest.
After a few days of recovery, the tendon that Ling had cut off with a hidden thread by Podong has healed, and he is recovering quickly from major and minor injuries. But there are still some bruises on his face, which shows from another aspect that Zero also paid a considerable price for killing Podong.
"Okay, Mr. Cacilio. I know it's impolite to go to your master with a wounded face, but please forgive me, there's nothing you can do about it." After being stared at by an old man for ten minutes Minutes later, Yi Ling's indifference also felt unbearable, so he had no choice but to protest.
"Bodong's dark energy is not so easy to clear. Dark energy is the most obscure force in the world. Sometimes you think you have completely cleaned them up, but after a long time, you will find that they are still stubborn , and has already caused some irreparable damage to your body." Cacilio smiled lightly, stretching out his hand to press Zero's face.
After a flash of energy brilliance, the remaining injuries on Zero's body quickly recovered, and even some hidden injuries in his body were eliminated by the old man in one fell swoop.
Zero wanted to say something, but Cacilio smiled and said, "You don't need to thank me. As you said, it's impolite, isn't it?"
So when the car stopped in front of a secluded manor, there wasn't even a trace of injury on Zero's body. He got out of the car and walked into the manor under the guidance of Casirio. The manor was very quiet. It was the afternoon, and there were gardeners in the garden in the vestibule who were silently trimming the branches and leaves of the plants. A stone fountain spits out spring water quietly, and scattered petals float on the fountain, which is quiet and elegant.
Stepping on the cobblestone road, Zero followed Caxilio to a house. The house adopts the Gothic architectural style, and there is a precipitating atmosphere in the beauty, which is aristocratic restraint and symbolizes an irreplaceable status.
Stepping through the deep corridor paved with red carpets, Cacilio brought Zero to Beyoncé's study, and said lightly, "Go in, the lady is waiting for you in the room."
Nodding, he stretched out his hand and gently pushed open the door of the study. He didn't dare to use too much force, for fear that the noise would be too loud and destroy the tranquility of the place.
The room was very quiet, the sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling windows poured into the study from the side. The window was open, and under the beam of light, there were countless dust fluttering, like dancing elves. Beyoncé is scribbling on the desk, and there is a small pile of documents on her left. Beyoncé is constantly taking down these documents, scanning them for necessary review.
The speed at which she processes documents doesn't mean Beyoncé is just skimming through them and jumping to conclusions. On the contrary, although she can see ten lines at a glance, every word and sentence is clearly engraved in her mind. These documents are related to the development trend and later planning of the entire family. Every patriarch is the helm of the family. If Beyoncé's instructions are wrong. Then it is bound to trigger a series of later reactions, which may lead the family in a direction that Beyonce does not want to see.
"Zero, are you here? Please wait a moment, give me another 10 minutes." Beyonce said without raising her head.
Zero nodded, and quietly sat down on the sofa to one side. He looked at Beyoncé. Today she changed from the fancy attire she wore at the banquet to a streamlined outfit, which showed Beyoncé's love for efficiency.
Naturally, without the cover of the veil that day, Beyoncé now fully reveals her true appearance in Zero's eyes.
Beyoncé is nearly thirty years old, but in terms of appearance, she is no different from a woman in her twenties. Thanks to her careful maintenance and the beauty of the genetic medicine, even though Beyoncé is not a person with abilities, she managed to stop time on her body.
Her hair is high, and from the side view, Beyonce's forehead is smooth and full, which is a symbol of wisdom. She has a knife-like outline, and when her features are matched in perfect proportions, she presents an astonishing beauty.
On the bridge of Beyoncé's nose is a pair of frameless plain glasses. The function of the glasses is to filter out the harmful light to the eyes, but now they are placed on the bridge of Beyoncé's tall nose, blurring her face Some sharp outlines.
From the beginning to the end, Beyoncé didn't glance at Zero at all, but she seemed to know something, and while instructing the document, she said: "It doesn't seem like a gentleman to stare at a lady, right? "
Ling shrugged and said indifferently: "I have never been a gentleman, besides Miss Beyoncé's beauty, if I don't pay attention, it will be the greatest impoliteness."
At this time, Beyoncé finally stopped the pen she had stopped for a moment. She looked at Ling, shook her head and laughed and said: "This is the most brilliant flattery I have ever seen. I think Mr. Ling is trying to win the girl's heart. There must be something special.”
"Miss, you are joking. Talking about love is the monopoly of rich men. As a person who struggles to survive every day, how can I waste so much time on such things." Zero smiled and replied.
"Are you implying that I'm wasting your time?" Beyonce said, standing up, eyebrows raised.
Her stature is already extremely tall, with a height of 180cm and a pair of high heels, ordinary men have to look up. From what I saw that day, Beyoncé was wearing a dress, but it concealed her height. Today's outfits of an office girl, the streamlined outfits even more embellished Beyoncé's figure, especially the pair of long legs, showing a near-perfect leg line under the trousers, challenging the self-control of all men.
Ling withdrew his somewhat impolite gaze, and said with a faint smile, "How dare you. Miss's time is much more precious than mine. Speaking of it, I should be wasting your time."
Beyonce let out a chuckle, and said: "Okay, I'm joking. It doesn't matter who wastes someone's time. In short, we are talking about business, so it is not a waste."
She walked to the opposite side of Zero and sat down, with her legs close together, her body leaning on the sofa, with a dignified and lazy beauty.
Zero sternly said: "Oh, then I don't know what business Miss Beyonce is looking for me to discuss?"
"It's a project."
"What project."
"Slave catcher." Beyonce took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table, lit it, and took a sip in her mouth. It has to be said that no matter what she does, her posture is so elegant, but she never gives people a sense of frailty, but a clean and capable feeling.
Zero was slightly surprised: "Asgard also has the business of capturing slaves?"
"This is inappropriate." Beyonce said with a half-smile: "We are just making reasonable use of some idle resources in the wilderness. Recently, our factory is short of manpower, and we need a new batch of slaves. Just what I thought Get up, your company is now on the right track, but if you continue to expand, you will soon face a shortage of manpower. There is no company in the wilderness whose workers are purely recruited, and most of them are slaves. And officially Slaves cost less than ordinary workers, but work twice or more as efficiently as ordinary workers."
"If you want, I can let you participate in this project. You will get 20% of the captured slaves. You only need to pay the necessary handling fee to our family. Of course, if you contribute yourself, this handling fee It can be saved. How about it, are you interested in participating?" Beyoncé looked at Zero and asked.
For a "project" like this, it stands to reason that Beyonce would not be so cheap. After all, although the refugees in the wilderness were unable to fight against regular troops, slave hunting also required a large number of manpower, and it was even more necessary to accurately grasp the distribution information of the refugees. Capturing a large number of slaves can not only be used to replenish manpower in one's own factory, but also can be sold to others through the black market.
No matter how you look at it, it's a solid business.
A business like this will naturally not be cheap for others. Beyoncé is willing to let Zero participate, not only because she wants to establish a deeper cooperation and friendship with Zero, but also because Zero recently killed the head of the Lambston's guard.
According to Cacirio, even though the head guard Bodong is not yet a tenth-level powerhouse, his special ability can rival ordinary tenth-level powerhouses. Especially Bodong's "Dark Power" ability, which can form a main force field similar to a domain, is a very rare ability. Zero being able to kill him just explained the value of zero itself from another aspect.
Compared with cooperation and friendship, this is probably an important reason why Beyoncé deliberately let Zero participate in the slave hunting plan.
Zero nodded and said: "I will participate, I don't know when to start, I will try to form a team of about 100 people before then."
At present, apart from the security personnel of Zero Company, the only ones who can fight are Ling Hefeng and the others. Therefore, recruiting troops is imperative. Now that the company has stabilized its operations, what Zero has to do is to open up a new territory. The endless wilderness cannot be explored by a few of them, and the existence of soldiers is a necessary thing.
That being the case, Zero plans to form his own team of soldiers as soon as possible, and the slave capture plan is an excellent opportunity to sharpen this army.
Beyonce smiled and said, "I thought people like you would oppose the existence of slaves. I heard that you haven't experienced the era of cataclysm?"
He nodded and said, "That's right, so I have no way of knowing the cruelty of the catastrophe era. I can only speculate from this era. To be honest, most of the concepts in my mind are still in the old era. Things like slaves did not exist in the old days. But no matter which era, it is not uncommon for people to eat and exploit people. There were no slaves in the old days, but there were still many people who lived like slaves. "
"I don't want to flaunt how noble my moral conscience is. I just need to know what I want to do. Before realizing my ideals, many sacrifices are inevitable. As for slaves, I think that is the lightest sacrifice. I sacrificed only my personal reputation." Ling said: "Besides, as a slave in my hands, at least I can guarantee that I will not abuse them. As long as they work hard, they will have food, and I can provide them with the most basic. The medical security makes their lives several times better than those in the wilderness. Of course, they also sacrifice, that is, freedom and fame. But in turbulent times, these two things sometimes do not seem so beautiful."
Beyonce nodded and said: "I'm glad you have this idea, zero. Really, compared to some people who shouted to overthrow slavery and promote famous masters. But secretly there are [sex] slaves, Much better with countless coolies."
"Then, this project will be carried out in two months. I hope that by then, you will have prepared your own staff."
