Chapter 247: The Power of Rumors
Hearing the word immortality, Carl didn't show too much consternation, he didn't exclaim excitedly, he didn't question loudly, he just sat in his chair and didn't speak for a long time.
Rowan didn't urge him, because he knew that this kind of thing should be thought about.
Walking slowly to the window, Rowan clasped his hands and quietly enjoyed the scenery outside the window, his deep pupils no longer had too much hostility.
Because of eternal life, this is enough.
Time passed little by little in the silent waiting and thinking of the two of them.
——————————
Ten minutes later, staring at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, high-rise buildings, Rowan lowered his head and lit a cigarette, and asked lightly.
"How's it going, Mr. Chamberlain?"
Sitting back in his chair with his fingers crossed, Carl smiled and pushed the frames of his sunglasses.
"Let me think about it again."
Turning around, Rowan gave him a deep look.
"Hopefully, you're thinking about whether or not to join us, and not thinking about something unrealistic."
Karl's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak.
Seeing this, Rowan smiled contemptuously, and then stroked his long smooth hair.
"By the way, even if you stupidly give up this opportunity, but in the month from the beginning to the end of the game, I still hope that Mr. Chamberen will cooperate a little bit, and don't do anything that makes us feel embarrassed, such as doing some very helpless small actions and so on."
Shrugging his shoulders easily, Rowan said with a little emotion.
"Because in that case, there is a good chance that this city will see 100,000 blood servants who have been hungry for a long time."
Karl still didn't speak, but his eyebrows twitched heavily.
At this time, Rowan slowly walked behind Carl and looked down at Carl with a mocking look in his eyes.
"How about Mr. Chamberlain, is this step all right? Since you secret party have always claimed to be righteous, then I will be kind enough to threaten you with the safety of the people, so that you will not have that guilt of betrayal, right? ”
Seeing that Carl was still silent, Rowan sighed lightly, and then gently hugged Carl's shoulders and gently persuaded.
"Don't be so obsessed anymore, look, I've done this for you, you should give me a little face, right? Perhaps, if you think about it again, eternal life is worth selling everything a man has. ”
"Of course, you can not give me face, or you can give up eternal life for the sake of faith, but you should at least think about him, right?"
Nodding slightly, Rowan patted Carl on the shoulder, his tone was very emotional.
"He's really done a lot for you, and it just so happens that he's also a very strong person, strong enough to restrain us, so we gave you a month to think about it."
Extinguishing the burned cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, the corners of Rowan's mouth faintly revealed a faint smile.
"After all, the holy weapon is already in our bag, and you are indeed qualified to be one of us, so even if I hate you again, I have to endure the pain and play with you for a month."
After speaking, Rowan re-lit a Liqun and intoxicated the cigarette in his mouth, "Well, it is worthy of being the best cigarette in the Celestial Empire, and it tastes really good, hehe, to be honest, I really don't want to be able to smoke such a good cigarette in the future because of your stupidity, Mr. Carr, you have to think twice." ”
Carl, who was deep in thought, heard Rowan's words, subconsciously glanced back at him, staring at Liqun in his hand, Carl's eyes suddenly became weird.
"You say this is the best cigarette in the Celestial Empire?"
Rowan smiled proudly as he slapped the box of Liqun in his hand on the table next to Carl.
"I didn't expect Mr. Chamberen's vision to be so inferior, and he had been in the Celestial Empire for so long, and he hadn't even tasted the best cigarettes? You're welcome, just smoke one, it's a little gift from me. ”
Looking at Rowan's proud appearance of Liqun, and listening to his words full of pride and disdain, Carl couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hand, his eyes were a little complicated.
At the same moment, in the presidential suite on the forty-third floor of the Donghuang Hotel, several buddies who were also sitting on the bed playing poker would be the eldest brother, and they were also very worried at this time.
"Brother Feng, what do you say, let's fool those seniors of the Holy Party? If they find out, they may die a miserable death, and it is not impossible for them to eat them. ”
Brother Feng, who was holding a phone number, scratched his head bitterly.
"You think I want to?! Isn't it no way! Who made that green-haired ...... Ahem, who made that green-haired senior of the Holy Party too difficult to serve. ”
"Said he wanted to smoke, and he said he wanted to smoke the best cigarettes in the Celestial Empire, there was no way, buy it for him, but what was the result? Buy him Diaoyutai, he said he didn't have much strength, buy him Dazhongjiu and he said the packaging was too rustic? finally brought him the Streamer Years and 1916, and he disliked the taste?! I went to Zhongnanhai to steal the cigarettes of the country's leaders! ”
As he spoke, Brother Feng looked up at the golden ceiling with no love.
"As a result, it turned out that his old man went to the office of the robe master that day, and at a glance he stared at the unfinished box of Liqun on the robe master's table, and after ordering one, it was called comfortable, and he said yes, and he slapped me with a big mouth when he was done, saying that we know how to hide secrets, and take some rags to fool him, damn, where can I be reasonable!"
When he and Brother Feng went to kidnap Huang Xiaobei, they said with emotion.
"The predecessors of the Holy Party are really extraordinary, you must know that the robes are used to drawing profits, and they don't want to change, but seriously, I still carry Yuxi every day, I really didn't expect the predecessors of the Holy Party to love Liqun so much, and now they are basically a bag per person, alas, should they be said to be good to serve or difficult to serve?"
Brother Feng rolled his eyes, then looked at the cards in his hand, and sighed for a long time, "It doesn't matter if they serve well or not, anyway, those seniors are like uncles, they call for everything, and they don't usually go out, so let them think that Liqun on the street is the best cigarette in the Heavenly Empire." ”
Speaking of this, Brother Feng instructed a few people with a solemn face.
"Don't make any mistakes, just like the previous rehearsal, as long as you see the seniors take out the liqun, you must immediately show a look of envy, and your face must be full of expressions of "worthy of the seniors, you can afford to smoke such a good cigarette". ”
"After they light it, you have to hurry forward and pretend to smoke two puffs of cigarettes, and when the seniors of the Holy Party want to reward you with one, you must also give me a thanksgiving appearance! Let them feel like you are working hard for a group! You know? ”
Lao Ba Lian and the other two people all had the expression of a dead mother.
"Brother Feng, how long can you deceive like this? In case they find out, let's not talk about what to do, but what do you say if the seniors of the Holy Party take Liqun out to talk to others? Why can we still keep a whole corpse? ”
Brother Feng waved his hand very calmly, confident and confident.
"Don't worry, I deliberately analyzed the character of this group of seniors, they all belong to the kind of thief pride, to put it simply, even if others tell them that Liqun is a big road, but I guess they don't want to admit it, who let them smoke for so long? In a word, anyway, as long as you pretend to be like, there must be no problem, well, who should go? ”
"Brother Feng, it's my turn." Lao Ba raised his hand and said.
Brother Feng glanced at the only card he had left in his hand, and said very seriously.
"Do you still want face?"
——————————
Lighting a Liqun that Rowan generously gave him, the muscles on Carl's face couldn't help but tremble, although he didn't go out to buy things in person, but he always felt that the box of Celestial Empire No. 1 cigarettes in Luo Wen's mouth seemed to be very familiar, and he remembered that he seemed to have seen Huang Xiaobei and a few of them smoke this kind of cigarette.
Thinking of Huang Xiaobei's poor ghosts, Carl couldn't help but have a lot more suspicion in his eyes, after all, the cigarettes that those old poor ghosts can afford to smoke will really be the so-called first cigarette in the Celestial Empire?
But after looking at Rowan's proud and proud eyes, and by the way, a little contemptuous of himself, Carl couldn't help but be in a trance for a while, feeling that maybe he didn't know much about goods.
Suspiciously, he lit a cigarette, but as soon as he took a puff, Carl was choked by Liqun's fierce strength and coughed, and he was despised by Rowan again.
"It seems that although Mr. Carr's family environment is very good, but in terms of material enjoyment, it is much worse, such a good cigarette is so painful for you to smoke? Alas, I really don't know what to say about you. ”
Karl threw Liqun aside in frustration and pulled out his Marlboro.
"I'm still used to smoking this."
Rowan glanced at Carl's Marlboro, took Liqun in his mouth, and proudly dropped two words.
"Garbage."
Karl: "......."
——————————
Patting Carl on the shoulder, Rowan smoked half of Liqun in one gulp, and three seconds later, a large puff of smoke was spit out in his mouth and nose very comfortably, making Carl's blonde hair smoky, and those who didn't know thought that Carl's head was on fire.
Well, if you guess correctly, Comrade Rowan just likes cigarettes, no matter how expensive or not, the packaging, anyway, as long as the strength is big, he can't like it.
Alas, Brother Feng really might as well just give him a five-dollar cigar, isn't it much more energetic than this?
"How's it going, Mr. Karl? I've got it all right, so you should be willing to join us, right? Hehe, trust me, it's the right choice, and it's good for everyone. As he spoke, the smoker Rowan lit another Liqun, looking at his posture one after another, and those who didn't know thought he was rushing to kill himself.
After hearing Rowan's words, Carl, who had been pondering for three seconds, also exhaled a long breath.
"Yes, you've come to this point, and I've been thinking about it for a long time, it's time for an answer."
Rowan nodded in satisfaction and patted Carl's shoulder, his handsome face full of a kind smile.
"Haha, it seems that I can't dig your magic eye anymore, okay, I accept it, but you don't want to make friends with me so soon, after all, I'm still a grudge, come, let's talk about the next plan of action."
Silently taking away Rowan's right hand that was patting his shoulder, Carl spoke silently.
"I'm sorry, but I still choose to refuse your kindness."
The smile on Rowan's face vanished.
