The three-dimensional topographic map on the table is slowly rotating, and the outline map of an underground city is exposed to the greedy eyes of human beings. Austin swallowed, sat up straight and said in a deep voice, "Miss Beyoncé, don't you think black gold is worth far more than so-called slaves?"
Although Charlotte did not speak, he nodded in agreement.
Beyonce looked at them, then looked at Zero, and finally said: "This is good, I don't need to say, the two gentlemen should also understand. In this era, energy is a precious resource. Therefore, me and Mr. Zero is willing to give up the huge value of black gold to the two, as for us, we can only take all the slaves in the dungeon. What do you think?"
Austin fell silent, then glanced back. Sitting behind Austin would have been his second son Habes and second daughter Fendoer. But now Habes was sent away by Austin, so there was only his daughter Fendol sitting behind him. Fenduoer is only eighteen years old, tall and slender, and she is also a pair of beauties. She was dressed similarly to Beyoncé, in the old-fashioned sophisticated attire of a lady-in-law.
It's just that she seems to prefer red, and the red dress and red trousers make her shine like a flame. However, it was Fenduoer's cold and proud expression, which was in stark contrast to the clothes, but it aroused some impulses in men. For example, the two young men behind Charlotte have kept their eyes on Fenduoer from the beginning to the present, and kept wandering around the sensitive parts of her body, showing great interest.
As for Fenduoer herself, she seemed to turn a blind eye to these two scorching gazes. Seeing her father looking back, she seemed to know something, nodded, took out a pocket brain from her jacket pocket, and started to calculate.
Fan Duoer is a person with abilities in the perception domain, and is good at computing abilities, and the most proud ability is multi-element computing. It can calculate various functions at the same time, and its computing power is comparable to that of an intelligent brain.
Soon, she had come up with a number in her brain, and whispered it to her father.
Seeing the expressions of the two father and daughter in his eyes, Charlotte was unmoved on the surface, but secretly turned his attention to Beyoncé. Now that Charlotte has arrived, she understands why Beyoncé needs to invite herself and Austin for a mere slave-hunting plan. The dungeon is undoubtedly a huge resource. Judging from the scale of the three-dimensional map, the scale of this underground city can accommodate at least 3,000 types of human beings.
Even three thousand migrant slaves are not a small amount of wealth. What's more, aliens have more value, and slaves are just the lowest level. In addition, black gold is another shining point.
But no matter how ambitious the Black Rose family is, they cannot swallow such a large amount of wealth in one go. Regardless of dungeons or black gold, their value is too great, so much that once they are exposed, they will attract the eyes of wolves. The Black Rose family couldn't digest such a large piece of fat alone, so Beyoncé invited him and Austin to join. The three giants joined hands, and the rest of the forces naturally had to stay away.
But Beyoncé's brilliance is to directly give up the fat of black gold, which has the greatest benefit. Compared with black gold, no matter how valuable the lives of alien races are, it doesn't matter if all three thousand slaves of alien races are ceded to Beyonce. What's more, he was straightforward. If he and Austin were still unclear about this, they would be laughed at if they said it.
That's why Austin acquiesced to Beyonce's proposal, and directly asked his daughter to start calculating their benefits.
But these are all Beyoncé's superficial moves, but secretly, she throws the sharpest contradictions directly to Charlotte and Austin. His two powers are quite equal, and the interests of black gold are so great that neither Charlotte nor Austin will give an inch. Charlotte is very clear that no matter how the interests are divided, it is impossible to satisfy the two families, so the seeds of conflict are quietly planted.
And since the seeds have been planted, there is bound to be a day when they will blossom and bear fruit. And this is Beyonce's pawn under the water. It's hateful to know that you know, but Charlotte will not give in to Austin. It can be seen from this that Beyonce has really figured out the temperament of the two of them.
Seeing Austin counting non-stop like a profiteer, Charlotte smiled secretly in her heart, but her fear of Beyoncé increased a bit.
Before coming to the banquet, Beyonce had already informed Zero of the general situation. So when Beyoncé made the promise, Zero was not surprised. It is true that the benefits of black gold are huge, but even Black Rose is unwilling to be involved in this business, and Zero is even less qualified.
It's not a bad thing to have ambition, but if you don't have the strength to match your ambition, it will lead to disaster. Zero knew this very well, so he kept silent, and Beyoncé let Austin and the two of them calculate the benefits clearly.
What followed was a fierce dispute, and Austin, with the help of his daughter Fendol, got the most profitable value for his family. But for this figure, Charlotte naturally did not buy it. The two started negotiating about the share of the black gold harvest, and they did not budge. This allowed Zero to see another level of confrontation. This kind of confrontation in the market was no less intense than any life-and-death battle he had participated in.
Austin and Charlotte are almost fighting for every inch of land. The brains in the hands of the two young men behind Fendoer and Charlotte are constantly clicking, and various reports are coming and going in the mouths of both sides. The accuracy has been confirmed to four digits after the decimal point!
During the dispute between the two, Beyoncé and Zero were in a state of rest. The two leisurely drank the coffee served by the server, waiting for the two bigwigs to end the business war.
After two hours of arguing, the result finally came out. Regarding the proceeds from the black gold, Charlotte's Planning family received 67% of the total income, and Austin's Helburn family owned the rest. But Charlotte had to provide the Helburn family with an additional batch of munitions, including the design drawings of some new-age weapons. If not, Austin would not make such a concession.
Just like that, a dungeon far away in the dense forest of Silver Frost was divided up by the three giants.
Seeing that the two of Austin finally reached an agreement, Beyoncé stood up and continued: "Okay gentlemen, we still have one more problem to pay attention to. Although the target this time is the underground tribe, the town of Pavalici we But we can’t ignore it. Don’t forget, they have trade relations with the underground people, and their interests follow, so it’s hard to guarantee that they won’t tip off us when we make a move.”
"It's that simple. Let's just wipe this town off the map." Austin laughed and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
He is indeed qualified to say so, although from the data point of view, Pavalic has his own armed forces. But for the three giants of the sky, this power is nothing at all. However, Charlotte disagreed with Austin's statement.
The fat man sneered and said, "Lord Austin, may I ask how you will wipe out this small town quietly. And once the war starts, the underground people who are only a few hundred kilometers away will not know about it? I'm afraid your army will arrive at the door of other people's houses." At that time, all you got was an empty city. Of course, Hei Jin couldn’t escape, but how did you explain it to Miss Beyoncé?”
Austin was at a loss for words, and Beyonce took the words and said: "Mr. Charlotte is right. We can't let Pavalic go, but we can't attack. What we need to do is to assassinate their leaders." layer, and quietly took over the town. And we can use Pavalich to cover up our army, so as not to alarm the underground people."
"Assassination?" Austin rubbed his mustache and said, "We don't have the talent to assassinate their leadership in a small town under the protection of an armed force."
Charlotte knew that since Beyoncé said so, she must have made arrangements. In fact, starting from the benefit of Beyoncé throwing black gold, this woman has controlled the initiative and rhythm of the entire meeting. The fat man knew that he couldn't get any bargains tonight, so he just pretended to be stupid and waited for Beyonce to show her cards.
Sure enough, Beyoncé continued Austin's words: "It is because of the assassination that I invited our new partner, Mr. Zero, to participate in this mission. To be honest, Mr. Zero himself is an eighth-level shadow wanderer. He is the perfect fit for a mission like this."
This is an important arrangement made by Beyoncé for Zero, if only according to the wishes of the Black Rose family, Zero will be allowed to join this operation. Of course the two of Austin wouldn't say anything, but they wouldn't admit to a brat like Zero. In order to let Zero stand out in front of the highest-level figures in Asgard, and to increase the bargaining chip for the Black Rose family, Beyoncé took great pains. After various ingenious arrangements, Zero was finally allowed to play at a key point.
Of course, Zero would not waste the results created by Beyonce. When Beyonce called his name, he stood up and bowed to Austin to show his respect for the two giants.
"As Miss Beyoncé said, with my ability, as long as there are no tenth-level ability users in Pavalici, I can't stop me from assassinating their leadership. Besides, besides me, there are other people in my team. There is a night messenger, this should be a double guarantee." Zero said lightly.
Not to mention Austin and Charlotte, even Beyonce was moved.
Although the Night Messenger is only an advanced profession, this kind of cross-field ability has a bright future. I didn't expect Zero to get such an ability. In this way, if they are regarded as opponents by Zero, then they will probably have trouble sleeping and eating. After all, rogues and night messengers are terrifying killer-type ability users. Whoever is against them will exhaust their energy just to prevent their assassination.
What surprised Beyoncé was that even she didn't know that there was a night messenger in Zero's team. Thinking about it this way, Zero's full strength should be more than that simple on the surface.
While Zero was talking, Fenduoer whispered to his father again. Austin nodded after listening, and laughed: "Then, on behalf of the Helben family, I only welcome Mr. Zero to join."
"Since Mr. Austin has no objections, I welcome it even more." Charlotte laughed heartily, and said like a benevolent elder: "Pavalic will be handed over to Mr. Zero, I think there should be no problem."
Zero smiled and said: "Thank you two gentlemen for your trust, but I have a question."
"Oh? What is it?" Beyonce said in a tone of zero, not giving Austin and Charlotte a chance to refuse.
Although the two old men were laughing, the chill in their eyes was even more chilly.
Zero said calmly: "According to the estimates of several people, the population of the underground race should be about 3,000. I will make a discount, and the number of slaves that can be captured will be 2,000. I only need 200 slaves, but I hope to get Pavalic management in the future."
As soon as these words came out, the smiles on the faces of Austin and Charlotte froze slightly. If it is placed elsewhere, so what if ten Pavalichs are thrown to zero? But this small town is near the underground tribe, which means that although the Austin family will obtain black gold income, the mining and trading of black gold must be inseparable from Pavalici as a transit point. Besides, Pavalic's Dependent Dungeon can be said to be the first line of defense against the black gold mine.
On the other hand, it can also become a threat to black gold mines. In this way, Pavalic has a very important strategic position. The two of Austin are almost certain that this matter must have been approved by Beyoncé, and when it is important to zero, he will make such a request on his own terms. It is really difficult for the two of Austin to refuse.
After all, Zero has made a big step back. Emotionally and rationally, neither Austin nor Charlotte had any reason to refuse.
But how could these two old foxes allow such an important town to fall into Zero's pocket. So Charlotte coughed dryly, and a young man behind him understood, stood up and smiled and said, "Mr. Zero, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tucson, and I am Uncle Charlotte's assistant. I think Mr. Zero should This is the first time to participate in this kind of family-style linkage plan, so it is normal to be unclear about some rules."
Zero also smiled, and said, "Dare to ask what kind of rules it is."
With a hint of mockery in Tucson's eyes, he replied: "Generally speaking, for actions like this, the distribution of benefits depends on the amount of contribution. Simply put, you get as much as you pay. Usually we refer to Paying depends on the number of troops dispatched. Like our Planning family, we plan to dispatch 2,000 servants this time, as well as how many advanced abilities. I think Miss Beyoncé and Mr. Austin should be similar, I don’t know how many people Mr. Zero can use to obtain the management rights of a small town like Pavalic?”
Zero nodded, but asked instead: "Mr. Tucson, how many manned troops can a person with my abilities be worth?"
Tucson hesitated for a while, and said after seeing Charlotte nodding slightly: "Mr. Zero is indeed a high-level ability user, but with all due respect, wanderers are not good at destroying. If it is converted, it should be worth five hundred Human army."
Zero nodded again, and continued: "Then what about a Destroyer."
Tucson's eyelids twitched, and he said bravely: "The words of the Destroyer are enough to reach an army of thousands."
Ling Zai said, "Where's the hand of thunder?"
Tucson clenched his hands tightly, and his breathing was slightly disturbed. He reached out to flick his bow tie, an ornament that made him look so refined, but now he was so annoyed that he wanted to tear it off. Tucson licked his lips and said forcefully: "Ditto!"
Zero smiled and said: "Then, in this operation, besides me and the Night Envoy, I will also send at least one Thunder Hand, one Destroyer, and about 600 troops. It will be less than your army. In this case, I wonder if Mr. Tucson thinks I am qualified to obtain the right to manage the town?"
Charlotte waved his hand and told Tucson to sit down. He looked at his old opponent, Austin, who lowered his head, apparently throwing him this difficult problem. Speaking of high-level ability users, whether it is Planning or the other two giants, they are not without them. Just like the old housekeeper Casirio of the Black Rose family, he alone is worth at least three to four high-level ability users.
But the cost and benefit are proportional, every high-level ability user is a precious combat power to them, and should be used in more critical places. For a slave-hunting operation like this, going to a high level is simply overkill. What's more, like Zero, dispatching two or three high-level ability users for one action is simply out of proportion to the benefits and costs. But people don't care, and Charlotte can't help it with zero.
Then there is the word "at least" in the snacks, that is to say, there may be more power mastered by Zero.
Charlotte suddenly felt that before he came to participate in this banquet, he should have a clear look at the list of important partners of the Black Rose family and the list of members of the organization. Otherwise, like now, give Beyoncé a craving to eat to death.
Charlotte chuckled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Zero's team to have so many talents, that's right. If Mr. Zero dispatched so many capable people, they would be no less than the three of us in terms of contribution. It's just Mr. Zero, don't you think My own manpower is too thin. Needless to say, the combat power of capable users, but you can’t just leave them in Pavalich. In this way, with an army of only a few hundred people, I don’t think you can control this place independently .”
Zero smiled, this is what he was waiting for. Seeing his smile, Charlotte suddenly felt something was wrong, and in the next moment, he only heard Ling say: "I can't manage it, but I can sell the management right. I think someone will be willing to buy it."
As soon as these words came out, Charlotte couldn't even maintain a superficial smile.
The meeting ended at ten o'clock, and when they walked out of the meeting room, all the proceeds of Pavalic and Dungeon had been divided up. Zero's town management rights were finally bought by Charlotte and Austin. With a simple sentence, you can earn tens of millions of dollars in your future income. Therefore, when they walked out of the conference room, the faces of Austin and the two looked a little ugly. After all, it was an unexpected expense for them.
After sending off the heads of the two major families, Beyonce said to Zero: "Good job."
"It's better to be notified by Ms. Beyonce, otherwise, I won't get these benefits." Zero said truthfully.
Beyonce shook her head and said, "It's nothing, you deserve it."
He nodded, thanked him again, and then left. Watching his tall and straight figure disappear into the shadow of the manor, Cacilio whispered to his lady: "It can be seen that this young man is not easy to control."
Beyoncé smiled: "What's so good about a puppet who can only obey and obey? Allies with assertiveness and strength are what we need, aren't they?"
Cacilio lowered his head and remained silent. Beyonce has always been so confident, which reminded him of his old friend.
How similar is this confidence to her mother!
