Chapter 119: Goldfinger
Over the next few days, Matt met with the emissaries of the various powers, and an agreement was reached with some of them, which only needed to be further agreed upon before the agreement could take effect. At the same time, Matt visited the Mossoli family again, after all, the Mossouri family still has a strong power in Balip City, and Matt is ready to cooperate more closely with the Mossouri family.
Sending off emissaries from all sides, Matt officially began to work on the development of Balip City.
"I called all of you here today to ask you your views on how to develop our Balip City, I think you also know that although the forces of all parties on the surface are now better than our Balip City, who can guarantee that they will not turn their faces, especially this time we have formed a grudge with the Kavin Empire on the Hao Lai House, the Kavin Empire is close to our Palip City, although we are canonized by the Holy See of Light, but there is no eternal friendship, only eternal interests, how can we guarantee that we will always maintain friendly relations with the Holy See of Light, so we must strengthen our strength and power”
"There is no eternal friendship, only eternal interests" Roger muttered, chewing on Matt's words, in the history of the continent, there are too many things like this, and at the same time he also thought of the decision of the old family master, it seems that it is this one that is invisibly taken, only if it is directly linked to Matt's interests, then, the Mossoli family, can survive.
"Young master, I think, the main thing we need now is to build up our own army, now, we only have more than 2,000 city guards, if there is a real conflict with the Kavin Empire in the future, then in the face of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of Kavin Empire's army, we are powerless to resist" Stephenson stood up and said respectfully.
"Well," Matt nodded, "and what do you think we should do?"
"Lord Lord, I don't think it is possible for us in the Ballypur Territory to recruit a large number of troops like the Four Great Empires, not to mention that we don't have so many people in the Ballypu Territory, even if we do, we can't afford to raise them" Roger expressed his opinion.
"yes, I think we should go the lean route," Edward said.
"Yes, yes, it's that elite route, our Devouring Demon Ant Cavalry, although there are only five hundred people, but I am confident that we can defeat an army of 10,000 people" As the commander appointed by Matt, Wardma was very touched.
"Well, Stephenson, what do you say?" Matt asked Stephenson, here, Stephenson and Edward were the most experienced, and the others were either too young or like Wardmar, with a tendon in their heads.
Stephenson thought for a moment, and then said, "Actually, we have to do a lot of things, not only do we have to develop our troops, but we also have to establish territories, and at the same time increase trade with all parts of the continent, in short, we need to do a lot, not just a little, of course, this development of the army is our guarantee"
"Well, okay, it makes sense, you only thought that we want to develop troops, but we also want to develop trade, and so on, this matter will be handled by Stephenson and Edward, and the others, Roger is in charge of recruitment, and Wardmar continues to train, Roger, I hope the Mossoli family can help me"
"Of course, Lord Lord, rest assured, our Mosoori family will work with Lord Lord to develop Balip City together."
"Well, I'll be visiting Kaiwei #123 @ Mr. Mossouri when I have time"
"It is an honor for our Mosoori family to be able to visit, Lord Lord."
"Well, okay, Stephenson stays, everyone else goes down, let's work together for the prosperity of Balipling"
"Yes"
......
"Stephenson, I'd like to buy some slaves back," Matt said, sitting in his chair.
"Buy slaves?" asked Stephenson, "I wonder what the young master wants to do?"
"We're not just going to develop Ballypro, I'm going to grow the world of the Ten Thousand Beasts," Matt said with a smile.
"Develop the world within the Beast Map" Stephenson somewhat understood what Matt meant.
"Yes, you also know that the hatred between us and the Holy See of Light is absolutely impossible to reconcile, even if I don't look for them, they will eventually find us, so, I'm going to just in case."
"Young master, I see, I'm going to buy some slaves tomorrow," Stephenson said.
"No, let's go together, I'm going to do it myself," Matt said.
"It's the young master"
The next day
Balip City is one of the most prosperous cities on the mainland, and the slave trade is naturally indispensable.
In the commercial area of Xicheng District, there are not only magic cores, weapons, magic scrolls, daily necessities, etc., but also brothels, casinos, colosseums, slave farms and other trades, which can be said to have everything, although Matt became the lord of Balip Territory, but for a while, Matt did not change too much to the original life order of Balip City, which also made the subjects of Balip City a lot easier.
Accompanied by Stephenson, Matt travels to the West Quarter, the most prosperous part of Ballypur City.
I saw that busy people kept walking on the streets, some came to shop, and some came to do business.
This is a man who saw Matt and Stephenson, and his eyes lit up, his name was Lukes, he was a goldfinger, he was the famous goldfinger of Ballypu City, and he ruled all the goldfingers of Ballyp City. As a golden finger, his vision is very vicious, he doesn't steal the rich and noble, because he can't afford to mess with those people, and he doesn't steal the poor, because there is nothing to steal, he only steals those who are rich but powerless, so even if he is caught, it doesn't matter, hehe, it's a coincidence today, it's really good for him to run into it, but he looked away today.
Lux cautiously followed Matt and Stephenson, ready to strike at the right time.
But today he ran into his opponent, and Stephenson, as a thief, smelled his peers at the first time.
"Master, be careful, there's a golden finger," Stephenson said carefully in Matt's ear.
"Oh, what a coincidence, hehe, but alas, he seems to have had bad luck today and ran into you"
"Hehe, the young master laughed"
"Okay, don't alarm him, let's keep walking, I'll see what he can do"
"Yes"
The two people in front of him were walking side by side on the street very leisurely, and at the same time, one of the people's money bags was exposed, looking at the bulging money bag, Lukes was even more itchy in his heart, how much money it must be, except for those who are rich and noble, I am afraid that few people have so much money on their bodies.
After following Matt and Stephen Sue for a long time, Lux didn't find a chance to do it.
Finally, an opportunity came.
"Alas, let's let, let's let"
An oncoming vehicle drove quickly on the main road in Xicheng District, and everyone on the side of the road hurriedly dodged, and Matt was no exception, Matt stopped, and Lucas took advantage of this opportunity to quickly follow.
Opportunity, hands-on
Just as Lucas was about to touch the wallet hanging from his waist, suddenly, a strong hand grabbed his sneaky golden finger.
"Ah" Lucas was taken aback, and hurriedly looked up, what he saw was indeed the face of a middle-aged man, and his deep eyes, as if he had already seen through himself, Lucas had never felt such a penetrating gaze.
"Let him go" Matt suddenly turned his head and looked at Lucas, and without waiting for Lucas to react, he said to Stephenson.
"It's the young master"
In Lucas's unclearing, Stephenson lets go of Lucas's left hand.
Looking at the figures of the two in the distance, Lucas came back to his senses for a long time, and his back was already soaked at this time, with that deep eyes, that kind of momentum.
"Did they already know about me" Suddenly a strange thought appeared in Lucas's mind, lingering.
"Young Master, why did you let him go?" asked Stephenson, puzzled.
"Hehe, Stephenson, tomorrow you will bring someone to bring that golden finger to me, I have something to do today," Matt said.
"Well, why?"
"Hehe, Stephenson, don't you think our news is too closed?"
"Oh," Stephenson didn't know what Matt meant.
"By the way, how far is the slave trading area?"
"Oh, it's not far, it's just ahead"
"Well, okay, let's go"
