The familiar oriental-style interior, the familiar simplicity of the office with the smell of incense and tea – and the familiar, sly face. The difference is that this time, in addition to a hint of surprise, there is also a little bit of banter in the person's eyes.

"Long time no see...... Helriga Khottsweil. Compared with the inconspicuous teenager who was so low-key that I didn't even know it existed, now I'm a well-known star...... In the terrorist attack on the imperial capital, the hero who single-handedly left the imperial princess and all the guests unharmed - now that he is here, it's not just "Silver" staring, right? ”

"That's right. Now they haven't reacted yet, and after a while, the eyeliner of the major forces will follow one after another. "What Cao said, Heiliga has been mentally prepared for a long time, and he is already ready to deal with everything that happens next - after carefully evaluating his ability, some forces that don't want Heiliga and Olibat's plans to go ahead will inevitably do something to hinder them, and he must find a way to clear the next obstacles, "That's why I'm here now...... Before those guys can react, let's solve my back road here first. ”

"Huh...... Choose wisely. Cao smiled, still in his own style, "But speaking of this...... Did you hide something from us before? I remember when we first worked together, you kept saying that you had nothing to do with Garcia Rossi, who was also a former member of Zephyr. As he spoke, he looked at the sturdy man beside Helriga with a squiring eye. The latter smiled disdainfully and looked at him without fear, and finally Cao looked away.

"I didn't lie to you, I had never even met him before that." Hyliga shrugged, "However, during the investigation, I discovered a lot of secrets about Rubacher, and I brought them down by the way. Of course, you are happy to see this happen...... If I don't get anything out of it myself, then why would I do this thankless job? ”

"The business of sparkle is a profitable business." Cao reminded softly.

"That's your guarantee here." "But when an extremely reliable resource of combat power comes to you—if you don't grab it, it's a waste." He was a member of Zephyr, which is one of the reasons why we trust each other. ”

"Huh...... That's fine. Anyway, the Rubacher is gone, and no one is going to be able to regain enough influence for them now. Originally, Cao didn't plan to deepen his research with Hailey on this issue, as the two discussed before, fighting each other is one thing, but after putting aside this competitive relationship, both of them are very professional.

"yes. So that's not a problem anymore. It's almost time to finish the reminiscence, but now let's talk about the purpose of my trip. "For some personal reasons...... I want to be able to cash out some of my investment with you and have it managed by the person next to me, Garcia Rossi. ”

"That's fine. If you just want to get back that part of the funds held with us, you only need to send some formalities from the Imperial Bank? For valued customers like you, we will help you solve the daily settings of account opening and the purchase of financial products......"

"yes. I know your service is very attentive, but the problem is, I can't let this money flow into the Imperial Bank...... Rather, I don't even want to leave a record of transactions that are too conspicuous in the "IBC". ”

"Oh?" Cao's eyes shone brightly: Generally, if you don't want the circulation of funds to be discovered, it must be because the use of this money is more or less unsightly, "What does this mean?" ”

"Don't ask so much. You just have to tell me if it can be done and how long it will take. ”

“…… If you must insist, we can turn this money around through our special channels in the Republic. After thinking for a moment, Cao nodded, "What percentage of your investment do you want to cash out?" ”

"What is the current state of existing assets?"

"We only estimated all the additional investments last week. At that time, the amount of money you managed with us was about 38.3 million meters, and now it has increased by about 744%......"

“…… 280 million? Cao deliberately did not say the results, but Hailiga had already silently completed the estimate.

“…… Oh, yes. If you want to take them all out at once, because according to your request just now, we can't go through the channels of regular banks, and we also need some additional expenses in the process of cashing out, and in the end, we can take out nearly 260 million. ”

"Nearly twenty million ...... evaporated directly," Helliga pouted, twenty million Mira was not a small number, "but it can't be helped." This can only be compromised. However, it doesn't seem necessary to withdraw all the money, Garcia, what do you think? ”

“…… The hiring cost of those children is far higher than that of the top hunters on the market. Not to mention super-first-class hunting regiments like "Zephyr" and "Red Constellation", even a slightly inferior existence like "Nidhogg" is far from comparable. As for myself, since you said you would pay me a salary, then I won't be polite to you - for the sake of Faye's face, I hope to be able to get half of my salary when I was at "Rubacher". ”

"Okay." Heliga couldn't help but laugh, now Garcia was still a bit of a businessman, "In this case, I hired you for 6 months - the time is counted from the first time I sent you a mission, including the possible actions we mentioned before in the imperial capital, and then a series of protection work." You can estimate the price. ”

"Okay." Garcia was not ambiguous, and asked Cao for the banknotes, and began to make serious calculations that did not fit his style at all, and those who didn't know thought that this was just a fierce accountant or something, "Martha's kid has a total of 61 people, plus me...... According to the salary issue just mentioned, it is a total of ...... 73 million meters. ”

"Whew, it's a lot less than I thought." Hailiga was originally worried that this money was still not enough, after all, 280 million is not too much, and less is not too little, and anything can happen in a war, "That's it." Cao, help me take out sixty percent of them. In addition to paying them salaries, I have a few other uses that may require money. Garcia, you stay in Crossbell for the time being, and keep in touch with Lévy—wait until the money is out, and then go and buy the necessary things as I want. ”

"Sixty percent, excluding the losses in the transaction, is about 160 million mira. That's not a small number of all the similar deals we've done, please give me a month at most...... I'll take care of everything. Cao looked at the chat between Helliga and Garcia, looking very interested, but he didn't ask any more questions, and Helliga wasn't worried, anyway, he didn't reveal any special details here, "Is that all?" ”

"That's it." Heliga nodded vigorously.

Things have finally come to this point.
