Chapter 116: Spoils Sharing Conference
The next day.
Crocodall and Galen agreed to meet not in his office at the Rain Banquet Casino, nor in the luxury hotel where Galen stayed, but in a villa with a view on the edge of the city.
When Galen came to the cottage by appointment, he immediately sensed Klockdahl's intentions:
Located on the edge of a rainy oasis, this villa is far from the abundant water of the riverside city, yet within easy reach of the stunning views of the vast desert.
In other words, this is the most favorable battle terrain for Klockdahl, who has the ability of Rustle Fruit.
"As for it?"
Galen muttered to himself with some amusement, "You need to be so cautious about me too?" ”
Princess Vivi beside her was worried, and involuntarily got a little closer to Galen:
"Galen, do we really want to go in? What if it's a trap? ”
"Don't worry, I have a way to keep us safe."
Galen replied earnestly.
Although Galen's face did not show a trace of fear, and the tall figure that stood like a tree looked very secure, Vivi, who had the courage to accompany Galen here, was still a little flustered.
Because in the past, Wei Wei only had a vague idea of the title of "Seven Martial Seas":
I only know that the Seven Martial Seas are very strong, but I don't know how strong they are, and maybe they still have the strength to resist.
However, after witnessing the true strength of another Hawkeye Mihawk up close, Wei Wei immediately had an extremely intuitive and deep impression of the strength level of the "Seven Martial Seas" in her mind, and it was inevitable that she made the wrong judgment of "Eagle Eye = Seven Martial Seas = Sand Crocodile".
So much so that from yesterday when Hawkeye said that she was not interested in brushing the picture with a trumpet until now, Princess Vivi has been shrouded in the shadow of the three words "Seven Martial Seas";
Vivi not only has great doubts about her plan to save the country, but also takes the initiative to persuade Galen and Nami to leave Alabastan as soon as possible and not to give their lives for her sake of her affairs.
Galen is well aware of the true level of the sand crocodile, so naturally he will not run away.
Nami is actually much braver than Galen, and like Vivi, she is genuinely afraid of the Seven Martial Seas Klokdal, but she doesn't show the slightest hint of retreat in front of Vivi, who has become a friend.
But Weiwei naturally didn't feel at ease, and when she walked to the door of the enemy's lair, she was even more flustered.
Galen laughed at Vivi's worries and knocked on the door of the villa.
The door opened, but no one stood behind it.
It's just that a white and delicate arm slowly sank into the wall behind the door, and disappeared completely.
This slightly strange scene made Wei Wei, who was already like a frightened bird, even more frightened, and subconsciously grabbed Galen's arm beside her, and the vague fragrance of the blue-haired girl faintly came over.
Galen suddenly has the illusion of taking his girlfriend to a haunted house on Earth, even though he doesn't have a girlfriend.
"Please come in."
A slightly cold female voice came into her ears from afar, and a figure finally appeared at the end of the empty hallway:
The desert-style wide-brimmed cowboy hat hangs down with straight shiny black hair, and the pure white slim women's small suit shows off her graceful figure, and the neckline of the suit lining on the chest is also just right, showing off a somewhat dazzling white greasy without hesitation.
Unlike Nami and Vivi, who are still young girls, this lady exudes the intellectuality and stability of a mature woman all over her body, which is a perfect combination of figure and temperament, sexiness and sensibility.
And when facing Galen, who is still in the hostile camp, the meticulous and formulaic smile on her face can actually smile with a very relatable feeling, making people not feel neglected but deliberately keeping a safe distance.
From the perspective of a workplace secretary, this lady can be said to be very competent; In comparison, Galen's secretary, Miss Vivi, looked much younger.
And as soon as Wei Wei saw her, she immediately turned frightened and defeated:
“miss·all·sunday?”
Vivi doesn't know Robin's name, only her code name at the Baroque Workshop.
Lockdahl cherished feathers and never made an official appearance in the workshop, and all orders were issued one-on-one through Robin, the secretary.
Weiwei, who has just entered the work club, has not yet found out the identity of the boss behind the scenes, and the information that "the enemy is a sand crocodile" is still heard from an outsider like Galen;
And now the appearance of Robin, the number two person in the work club, has completely confirmed that the information provided by Galen is true, and the enemy she has to face is indeed an extremely terrifying Seven Martial Seas.
"You brought her with you?"
Robin didn't respond to Vivi's exclamation, and a slightly displeased voice could already be heard in the living room behind her.
Galen and Vivi followed Robin into the living room of the villa, where they saw Crocodall sitting on the couch and spitting through the clouds.
Klockdahl's face was not pretty, and a pair of cold, bloodthirsty eyes like crocodiles were firmly nailed to Princess Vivi's slightly pale cheeks;
Compared with the male Klockdal, Princess Weiwei, who has been raised in the boudoir all year round, naturally lacks momentum.
His eyes were full of malice, and Vivi couldn't help but clench Galen's arm a little tighter, and the body temperature from the girl's body even warmed Galen's cold gauntlet.
"Why did you bring her here?"
Crocodall finally withdrew his compelling eyes from Vivi, and said to Galen rather dissatisfied:
"What I called you here today to talk about, you should know."
He called Galen over in order to reach a certain degree of exchange of interests and political compromise with this skilled thief.
In other words, two thieves split the spoils behind their backs.
What is the matter of calling the bitter lord over at this spoils sharing meeting?
Galen, on the other hand, had no intention of conspiring with the sand crocodile at all, and just replied casually:
"After all, this is Weiwei's country, and of course she should listen to what we are discussing."
"You..."
Klockdahl narrowed his eyes slightly, and burst out laughing:
"Hahaha!"
"You really deserve to be a careerist who is not inferior to me!"
After laughing, Klockdahl glanced disdainfully at Vivi, who was a little nervous:
"Yes..."
"When talking about these things, where is the need to avoid such weak and deceitful masters?"
"The terms we discussed today, you, the princess, just need to remember them and cooperate obediently!"
"Uh..."
Galen stopped talking.
This time, Weiwei's companionship was actually requested by herself;
Although Wei Wei is very weak and afraid of the prestige of the Seven Martial Seas, she will still bravely overcome her fears and insist on standing on the front line when it comes to national affairs.
It just so happened that Galen also had a way to ensure the safety of this trip, and he fulfilled the strong girl's thoughts.
However, Klockdahl directly regarded Vivi, the seemingly non-threatening princess of the kingdom, as a humanoid stamp that was coerced by the careerist Galen, watching the great powers divide the fruits of victory, and finally sign a traitorous treaty.
Klockdahl couldn't help but think:
Stealing the country from behind the wall and stealing the country from behind like himself, his behavior is very despicable;
Even if he succeeds in taking control of Alabastan, a discerning person will know what is going on with him as a "hero of Alabastan" at a glance.
And like this knight of the East China Sea, Galen does not engage in intrigue at all, but forcibly divides up the land and embezzles interests in front of the waste royal family, and then forces the royal family to recognize the unequal treaty, the result is completely different:
Although this is essentially a robbery, the posture shown is domineering and exposed, and it has a certain sense of "legitimacy".
If we are a little more shameless, we can completely imitate some rogue powers and say that they have come to bring freedom and democracy to the people of Alabastan, who have suffered greatly from the dictatorship of the feudal royal family.
Anyway, power is justice, and under the strong cooperation of the two sides, the royal family of Alabastan will not be able to make any waves in any way.
"Professional!"
After thinking about it, Crocodall felt a little more sympathetic to Galen, a fellow practitioner.
