Chapter 12: The Prey Takes the Bait
"Looks like something is wrong with your business!" Carré pulled a chair, sat down next to the man, ordered a glass of liquor for him, handed it to the man, and said with a faint smile.
"Ugh!" The middle-aged man burped, opened his eyes a little hazy, looked at the very young Carré, and muttered complainingly: "Why, even a boy who hasn't grown hair is going to laugh at me Mars, tell you, my Mars will make a comeback, and when the time comes, let you mock me look good." ”
Picking up a glass of liquor that Carré had placed in front of him, Mars grumbled in a daze, snorting the pungent smell of wine in his mouth, recounting Carré of his former glory.
It's no different from Carré's guess, this Mars used to be a good fur merchant, but unfortunately he offended one of the clerks in Creery, and as a result, the clerk operated behind the scenes, and Mars's partners withdrew from his caravan, causing the collapse of Mars's caravan, and Mars had done fake accounts in taxes before, and the clerk turned it over, was fined a lot of money, and now he still owes a lot of debt.
And because of the officer's background, Mars's friends dissociated himself from him, and he could not borrow a penny at all, and because he was in debt, he could not borrow money from the bank.
Although Mars has a good fur channel, but without capital, he can't enter the grassland to buy fur and turn over, so he can only come to the bar to get drunk.
"I'm telling you, I'm going to kill that bastard at Grandet tonight, damn it, dare to shadow Lao Tzu behind his back, Lao Tzu is finished, don't think about it!" Mars slammed his clenched fist on the bar and yelled at Carré, causing some of the guests in the bar to look sideways and smile disdainfully when they saw that it was Mars.
"Down-and-out merchants!" Carré looked at Mars, who was already hunched on the bar, muttering in a vague tone, a glimmer of light flashed in the depths of his eyes, his fingers nimbly playing with the wine glass in his hand, the thoughts in his head turned rapidly, and finally, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Waving to the barmaid for a pen and paper, he wrote down the location of the Rose Hotel on a slip of paper, and waved the note in front of Mars, and Carré smiled elegantly: "If you want to make a comeback, come to me tomorrow at noon at the address on the note!" ”
With that, he placed the note in front of Mars, and Carré left the bar, the net had been laid down, and now he just had to wait.
Mars's brain was hazy and dizzy from the stimulation of alcohol, but when he heard Carré's words, he subconsciously put the note carefully into the inner pocket of his clothes.
Bathed in the bright moonlight, Carré returned to her room in the hotel, where Delina had not yet fallen asleep, a thin translucent gown draped over her body, her white skin half-concealed, and her long dyed white hair fell down like flowing water, as smooth as silk.
Leaning lazily by the window, bathed in the bright moonlight, he saw Carré with a somewhat relaxed face, and his slender white palm picked up the goblet and took a sip of mellow wine.
I don't know if Delina did it on purpose, a red wine flowed from the corner of her mouth, and the bright red wine formed a dazzling contrast with the white skin, slowly sliding down the smooth skin and flowing into the ravine between the two tall valleys.
"My face is a little relaxed, why, I found the merchant who entered the interior of the grassland!" Delina said with a faint smile.
"Poor...... Almost, if nothing else, we will be able to enter the Nurha steppe in a few days. Seeing Delina dressed and behaving like this, Carré felt his mouth dry, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and said with a dry smile.
"It's amazing, whatever reward you want, my sister will promise any reward!" Delina twisted her graceful posture, walked into Carré, and whispered in Carré's ear.
"I want you!" With a wave of his arm, Carré took Delina into his arms, and his palm flexibly played with Delina's two soft and slippery balls, and he gasped for air in his mouth.
All of a sudden, the spring was so bright that even the full moon in the sky hid in the clouds, and I was too ashamed to look at this scene.
At noon the next day, the sun was blazing, the light was blazing, and the hot pavement of midsummer came, even if there was a breeze, but it was not cool, but like a rolling heat wave, there were no people on the streets, only the summer cicadas planted on the linden trees on both sides of the road made a high-pitched and passionate chirp.
After lunch, Carley returned to the room to refine the Yuan Force and nourish the Yuan Force Seeds in his body, after half a month of almost sleepless refining of the Yuan Force, he could clearly feel that the speed of the Yuan Force Seeds absorbing the Yuan Force had decreased slightly, and it seemed that the Yuan Force Seeds had entered the germination period was not far away.
When refining the Yuan Force to nourish the Yuan Force Seed, Carley discovered a phenomenon that surprised him, the Yuan Force he refined unconsciously increased in quality slightly, although it was very weak, but it was enough to shock the world.
As we all know, once the Black Iron Warrior is promoted to the peak of the Black Iron, in addition to the promotion of the Silver Warrior or the transformation of the more powerful Yuan Force, the quality and quantity of the Yuan Force will not increase in the slightest.
Carré speculated that the increase in the quality of Yuanli should be inseparable from the Yuanli Seed, which should be a gift after the Yuanli Seed absorbed the Yuanli.
"Bang bang bang!" A knock on the door interrupted Carré's practice.
Delina opened the door, talked to the waiter who knocked on the door, and said to Carré with a faint smile: "The fur merchant named Mars is here, and it seems that your plan is half successful. ”
A confident smile appeared on the corner of Carré's mouth, he stood up, tidied up his clothes slightly, walked up to Delina, took Delina's left hand, bent down with the other hand behind his back, and said, "Dear Miss Delina, can you accompany me to meet the businessman?" ”
"Of course!"
At the front desk of the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, a middle-aged man paced back and forth a little anxiously, looking at the stairs from time to time, his eyes were full of eagerness, this person was the same person Mars who had met the down-and-out fur merchant Mars last night.
Mars was uneasy, and when he woke up from the bar this morning, he vaguely remembered that a teenager had handed him a note last night, saying that he could make a comeback, and went home to change into the most imposing suit, and according to the address written on the note, he came to the Rose Hotel with the idea that he would rather believe it than not.
He didn't think that the other party would deceive him, now that he had nothing, and he owed a large amount of debt, he had no capital to be cheated at all, but why did the other party help him make a comeback, could it be that Grandet deliberately found a teenager to tease him.
Mars's thoughts were flying in his heart, his heart was up and down, he hugged his fists and prayed that the young man really wanted to help him, he was now in debt, if he couldn't pay it off on time, according to the laws of the empire, he would definitely be sent to the army, the empire is now at war with the Jialan Empire, the war is extremely fierce, if he is sent to the battlefield for a long time, it is estimated that he will not survive for a day.
At last, Mars saw a blonde boy coming down the stairs, and the boy's face seemed to coincide with that of the boy last night, and Mars hurried up to meet him, with a dry smile on his face.
"Well, is that Mr. William?" Mars rubbed his hands, a little cramped.
