Chapter 292: Eternal Defeat
It was a tobacco shop that sold fine tobacco brought from South Asia, which was quite expensive for the rich and aristocratic to enjoy because of the risk of crossing the Ottoman blockade. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Under the pretext of buying tobacco, Brad sniffed piece after piece in front of his nose, and his actual eyes were fixed on the tavern opposite, at John Cena behind the window.
Seeing that another distinguished customer came, the store guy with a lot of insight walked up with a smile on his face.
"I wonder what kind of tobacco Mr. prefers?"
Zheng Fei didn't want outsiders to be present during the conversation, and wanted to break him away.
"A little bit of each. ”
"A little...... How much?"
"Two thousand silver coins. ”
In an instant, the shopkeeper's eyes were straight, and the boss, who had always been sitting behind the counter, trembled, and his eyes almost fell.
Two thousand each, adding up to tens of thousands, can clear the goods of this small shop.
The guy bowed and thanked him, and immediately went to the back warehouse with the boss to prepare.
Seeing the busy appearance of the two guys, Brad smiled and shook his head.
"Hey, what are you doing with all this tobacco? I remember you never smoked. ”
"There are a lot of sailors in the fleet, and they can be divided. ”
There was silence for a moment, and Brad gave a thumbs up.
"You're the best captain I've ever met. ”
"Alright, let's get down to business, is there any movement over there?" Zheng Fei looked at John Cena, who was sitting in the tavern in contemplation.
"Well, not long ago a man in a brimmed hat came in and looked for him, as if he had received some instructions, and hurried away. ”
"What does he want to do with what you know about him?"
After some careful consideration, Brad put down a piece of tobacco and stared at the bustling street.
"It will never be an assassination, there is no one in Constanta worthy of assassination, and even if there is, there is no need for him to act. ”
With that, Brad took a deep breath, raised his head and slowly spit out, muttering to himself: "If it's not an assassination, what could it be?"
Suddenly, he was excited and looked at Zheng Fei urgently.
"What happened to my stand-in while in Venice?"
"Stand-in?"
If it hadn't been for today's mention, Zheng Fei would have almost forgotten about the hapless William Harrison, blaming him for overusing his brain in Istanbul before and not having the energy to think about other things.
"Oh, you're talking about the Harrison family heir......"
Before the heir could finish speaking, he was stunned for a moment, understanding why Brad had such a reaction.
John Cena, sent by the Harrison family to save people and seek revenge?
"He's in the cabin. After a short pause, Zheng Fei said.
Brad put his hand into the pile of tobacco in front of him and crushed the tobacco slices vigorously, which felt like pinching instant noodles in the supermarket, and there was an indescribable refreshing feeling.
"I have to say, you get a great chip when you control William Harrison, but at the same time, you get in big trouble. ”
"How powerful is the Harrison family?"
Zheng Fei never regrets the past, he is more concerned about how to solve troubles.
"The Harrison family, the largest mercenary group I know of, has a power that spans all of Europe and West Asia, and the members of the group are extremely combative, and many small countries have to spend huge sums of money to ask them for help when defending against foreign invasions......
"To the point. Zheng Fei interrupted Brad's rambling remarks.
"Well, the Harrison family is much more powerful than people know, announcing to the outside world that there are only more than 20,000 people, in fact, it also has a large reserve army, at least 100,000 low-level mercenaries, and artillery and navy. What's even more terrifying is that he has set up post stations in all the top cities in Europe, so that he can be the first to know the movements of various places, and provide assistance to the members on the mission through the post stations. ”
Speaking of this, Brad stopped, showed an inexplicable smile at Zheng Fei, and said, "Constanta must have their post station." ”
Strangely, Zheng Fei actually laughed too.
"That is, they're going to do it to us soon?"
Brad didn't answer, but furrowed his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
"Then why are you laughing?" Zheng Fei asked rhetorically.
I laughed...... I want to see you panicked. ”
"I'm laughing because I want to see you surprised, haha. ”
After the joke, the two of them took a deep breath and returned to normal, their faces solemn.
To be honest, they were very apprehensive, and even though Brad knew the Harrison family well, it was difficult to avoid their fear of it.
The Harrison family has invited Brad to join him countless times, but Brad has sternly refused, he looks down on the group of guys who work hard for money, although he himself is.
But there is one difference, Brad never induces war to cause disaster to innocent civilians, and this is what the Harrison family is most passionate about, for mercenaries, where there is war, there are silver coins for nothing.
"There's one thing I didn't figure out. Brad said as he pinched the tobacco slices.
"What?"
"The William in your hand is the future ruler of the Harrison family, and John Cena is the most powerful and prestigious in the entire family, if William dies, he can rightfully replace him, but why should he come to save William?"
"You mean, he had other purposes?"
Brad nodded firmly, speculating.
"Think about it, what is the most tempting thing around you for him?"
After thinking about it, Zheng Fei said tentatively, "Britney?"
"Uh...... Her beauty is not inferior to Aphrodite, but one thing I can be sure of is that Senna guy will not risk it for women, and the most important thing for him is not women or money, but power and status. ”
Power, status.
The two words echoed in Zheng Fei's mind, and after a while, he took out a bone necklace from his personal pocket.
"That's right, that's it. Brad affirmed.
A bone necklace, a token of the conscription of the descendants of Sparta.
The fighting power of the Spartans needs no description, and legend has it that the three hundred Spartan warriors, together with some allied troops, arrived at Thermopylae with hundreds of thousands of troops of the Persian army.
Even if this is just a legend, it is enough to see that the Spartans can be called the incarnation of the god of war in the hearts of the people.
In Romania, there are tens of thousands of Spartan descendants living in the mountains, and after rigorous training, this group of natural warriors will transform into a hundred warriors, and with them, John Cena will have the conditions to compete with the Harrison family and annex it little by little.
In this way, all the power and position he feverishly longed for were in his hands.
Zheng Fei put away the necklace, held his breath and crossed his fingers, rubbing his thumbs uneasily.
"Brad, what do you think will happen this time?"
"Do you want me to be honest?"
"Of course. ”
"With me, Senna would not have been able to succeed, he would have been my eternal defeat. (To be continued.) )
