Aladdin looked at Lin Rui and said slowly, "I understand your distrust. In fact, it is basically difficult for people like us to gain the trust of others. ”

Lin Rui was silent for a while and said, "But you have indeed helped us many times, and this time we still need your help." ”

"Correct a little. I'm not helping you, I'm helping myself. Especially when it comes to the Order, I have to. Aladdin said slowly, "When I was young, I could be fearless. Because I have the ability to protect my family. But now, I'm old.

I can no longer protect my family as much as I used to. Only by doing our best to weaken the power of the Secret Society, and even get rid of the Grand Duke of the Secret Society, can my daughter's survival no longer be threatened.

I'm an egoist and have always believed that helping others either needs to be reciprocated or for other purposes. But only for ourselves, we will always make choices that are beneficial to ourselves. So I'm just helping myself, not others. ”

Lin Rui nodded, "For our mission, what internal information do you provide us?"

"The Four-Nation Conference?" Aladdin said slowly, "you have to know about one person, one team, about this. If my intelligence is correct, this man and his team will be in charge of the security of this meeting. ”

"Who is it?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Octopus. Aladdin said calmly. "The man's name is Matthews, but few people know his real name. Many people call him an octopus. He is one of the best private security advisors today, and he has one of the best bodyguards at his disposal. ”

"Is he a member of the Secret Society or a simple personal bodyguard?" Lin Rui frowned.

"He's worked with the Order, but he's not a Order. However, due to the sensitivity of this meeting, the people of the Order will try to eliminate their own sense of existence. They don't meddle in this matter, and they need a very capable person to keep them safe. So they chose Octopus, one of the two most expensive security consultants in the world and at the same time the best. Aladdin whispered.

"The best security advisor is just a bodyguard. Lin Rui frowned.

"Don't underestimate the octopus, he has taken on such tasks many times. Even the personal guards of many national brains will not be better than his people. I know that you are the best mercenary team in the Black Isle, but you have a specialization in art, and he may not be as good as you, but he can defend better than you. Aladdin winked at Duncan, the black bodyguard next to him.

Duncan nodded, and handed a file bag beside him to Lin Rui, "Here is information about Octopus and his team." It contains some of their most classic examples of security work from recent years. These include the case of the protection of the wealthy in the Middle East, and the case of the protection of private enterprises in Syria. They are very capable. ”

"Thank you. Lin Rui took the document bag.

"That's all I can do to help you, and I need you to do me a favor. Aladdin smiled, "Or rather, my return for your support." ”

"You need our help, what are you busy with?" Lin Rui said with some caution.

"I want Crystal to stay with Black Isle. Aladdin said slowly, "I know that your company has had some financial problems recently, so I can provide you with financial assistance." But I need a credible person to take care of these funds, Crystal has been with me for many years, and she can be a good candidate to enter the Black Isle. Not as a warrior, but as an organizational and managerial talent. ”

"This ......," Lin Rui frowned, "it doesn't seem like I can decide." ”

"Actually, you have this right, and as far as I know, you are also a member of the board of directors of the Black Isle Company. Aladdin said slowly. "For me to continue to help you, I need an alliance that is closer than the current relationship. ”

"You want to inject capital into the Black Island Company?" Lin Rui frowned.

"What's not to do? You are short of money, you are short of help. I have the money and I'm willing to help. Aladdin smiled. "It's all good for us. In addition, it is also a choice for my daughter to gradually get rid of my current protection and live independently. People always have to learn to grow on their own, and I can't be by her side forever. ”

"Dad. Crystal frowned.

"I'm telling the truth. You can't inherit everything I have, in fact, no one can. But you have to be safe to live after I'm dead, so it's a good way out. Aladdin whispered.

Lin Rui looked at this old man, he knew how dangerous Aladdin was, even if this old man was paralyzed, he was still a very terrifying person. But he is still a loving father to his daughter. His move means that he wants Black Island to protect the crystal. Even after his death, the crystal will still have something to rely on.

Lin Rui nodded silently, "I will let Silver Wolf seriously consider this matter." ”

"Thank you. Aladdin said calmly. "When you go back, study this Mr. Octopus carefully, because he will be the biggest obstacle to your mission. ”

Lin Rui nodded, got up and left.

After he left, Crystal turned to Aladdin and asked, "Father, why did you keep me in the Black Isle Company? They are just a mercenary company, and they are not in a good situation at the moment. Even the last few missions have failed in a row, and he was almost shut down by the Secret Society. Do you really think they can protect me?"

"Yes. And you have to always remember what the Chinese once said. It's always easier to be grateful than icing on the cake. We help him at this time and we will win them. Aladdin said slowly.

"But in terms of strength, we are much stronger than them. Duncan whispered.

"It's true, we're better than Black Island in every way. But that's my years of hard work, everything is based on my life, and once I'm dead, neither you nor the crystal can inherit these resources I left behind. Aladdin said in a low voice, "Instead of this, it is better to use some of the resources that I can still grasp at the moment to use the Black Isle Company." Leave a final retreat for you. ”

"Sir, what do you mean......" Duncan's face changed.

"Yes, I have been fighting with the Order for many years, and the final outcome will still be unpredictable. No one can say. So I have to help you plan ahead. Aladdin whispered.

"Sir. Duncan frowned, "The current situation is not so pessimistic. ”

"Prepare for the worst in everything to have the best ending. Aladdin whispered.
