Chapter 385: I Seem to Have Heard This Name
Outside the castle, a group of well-dressed and well-educated upper-class people were greeting each other cordially, but they didn't know that a pair of eyes were silently watching them in the distance.
"Marlboro, camel, Dunhill, old captainβ" Melinda lay on the ground with a telescope and spat out words from her mouth.
After hearing this, Evenson was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, could it be that the people below are all registered in S.H.I.E.L.D.?Otherwise, why did you casually give them code names?But he suddenly reacted, Damn, aren't all of these...
"I really didn't expect that most of the people below were actually selling cigarettes. Melinda put down the binoculars, rubbed her eyes a little sour, and her expression was very strange, if she didn't know the purpose of her visit, she thought that people from the tobacco industry would come to travel in groups, and by the way, they would have a meeting to control the global price of cigarettes.
"Smoking is bad for your health. Evenson lit a cigarette and took a puff before silently saying, "This can be considered a kind of chronic suicide, and according to Christian teaching, suicide is a depraved act." β
But how many people really care about the damage that a cigarette does to their bodies? β
"And you're still smoking?" Melinda said, looking back, angrily. What is the difference between you and me, who are smoking, and talking to me about the depravity of smoking and the health of those who sit behind the computer?
Evenson took a hard puff and flicked off the cigarette butt, "I usually use magic breath when I smoke, and with this spell, it's okay for me to just smoke nerve gas." Only those detectives from the Demon Realm who were born in the wild will be forced to die by lung cancer. β
"Sometimes I envy you guys with special abilities. Melinda glared at Evenson, then asked, "Then when we go back, will we suppress the cigarette trade and make the world smoke-free?"
Melinda felt that this was necessary, since smoking was a depraved act and a trap of the devil, then it should be stopped, although this kind of thing was always very when S.H.I.E.L.D. came into play.
The old smoker twitched at the corner of his mouth, this is not good, this is one of the few luxuries I have, and I will not be allowed to smoke in the future, can it be that I will inhale European gas?" β
"The reason why they do this is just a hobby, and they don't have the idea of achieving a certain goal, after all, there is no such thing as smoking in the seven deadly sins. β
"As much as you say," Melinda turned her head back to observe the situation below, "but I think the cigarette industry needs to be put in order, and they have provided the devil with a lot of money to facilitate his human activities. β
As soon as these words came out, many of the action team members present had a twitch on their faces, although they did not dare to look at Evenson directly, but they would also secretly cast resentful eyes. And Evenson almost slapped himself in the mouth twice, making you pretend to be too much, this is good, the price of cigarettes will have to increase in the future.
But to be honest, the devil's way of thinking is really hard to understand. Melinda sighed, "Since Locke wants to walk in the world, why doesn't he recruit some influential people, although these cigarette company people have some money, they can only be regarded as a rich man, and they can only provide some financial support." β
Although the tobacco trade can barely be called a windfall profit, there are many industries that make money faster than it, and the influence of this industry is very small, far less than that of finance, oil and arms dealers.
Do you want to control all the smokers in the world? No kidding, it's hard to quit smoking, but I haven't heard of anyone who dares to give up everything to smoke cigarettes.
"The people down there can't all be cigarette sellers, right? There must be some influential guys. Evenson scratched his face, he thought that Locke would not delay his business for the sake of his own interests.
Melinda took a few more looks through the binoculars and found another group of people at a distance from the tobacconists: "There are some people who play politics, but they are all guys who can't put themselves on the table, and their influence is really minimal." β
"If Locke can control them, why doesn't he control some arms tycoons and financial giants?"
"Everything in the world can be priced, and mystical forces are not omnipotent. Evenson said with a slight contempt, "If you want to control the real big guys, Locke doesn't have that ability." β
"Oh?" Melinda was a little curious.
"Let's give you an example. Evenson took the chestnut that Claire handed over, peeled it off, ate it, licked his mouth, and said, "For example, if Locke comes to Tony Stark, I can give you a lot of money to let you live a happy life surrounded by beautiful women, I guess Tony will laser cannon Locke doesn't even know the." β
For those really big people, money is just a number, and the power has long been held in their hands, and the beautiful and macho man is even more lingering, which is a bit of a taste of desirelessness and rigidity, why does Locke still tempt them?
"Maybe immortality and immortality are still a little attractive to them, but even Mephisto can't easily take this price. Evenson shook his head, "It's just Locke, who is incarnated outside the body, so it can't be taken out." β
"So he can't afford to pay the commissions of the big guys. Melinda now understands that the big man asks for a high price and can't afford it, so she has to use these little people at the wholesale cabbage price.
"Well, I didn't expect there to be them?" Melinda's voice suddenly lowered, "yes, cigarettes are degenerate, let alone them." β
"Who?" asked Evenson, curious.
"Laundry detergent wholesaler. Melinda put down the binoculars and said fiercely, "The guessing master of the Golden Triangle, and the three-eyed poison emperor Gule of South America." β
"There is no more sinful trade in the world than the laundry detergent trade, the slave trade destroys the body, and the laundry detergent does not spare the soul. Evenson said indifferently, "This is the real depravity, the poison of the devil, the untainted forbidden thing, the collection of the seven original sins!"
"I'll report to Director Fury and ask him to apply to the committee to increase the crackdown on the laundry detergent trade. Melinda also hated these laundry detergent sellers, "but things got troublesome." β
With the entry of these laundry detergent dealers, more than a dozen large trucks were driven, and all the soldiers who came down from them were heavily armed, although they looked casually dressed and not formal at all, but the blood and gunpowder smoke emitted from their bodies were not comparable to the original mercenaries here, and they looked like elite soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles.
"It's Gule's Jungle Poison Team, and he's brought at least half of it. Melinda gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't expect this guy to be so loyal to Locke, and even brought his family with him." β
"Family?" Evenson raised his eyebrows, this Guler is really a fanatic, not only brought his elite troops, but also went into battle with the whole family.
"Those two women. Melinda pointed to the limousine in which Guler was riding, and two more women got out, but they wore wide-brimmed hats with veils that covered their faces, and Melinda couldn't tell their specific identities, but he speculated that they were probably Gule's family members.
At this time, Evenson rubbed his chin, and he always felt as if he had heard this name somewhere.
