Chapter 1975: Battle Trials in the Dawn (10)
Ten minutes later, the ten boxes of Coke that Palamides had brought to the black market for sale were all sold out.
Palamides, who had become disheveled and a little embarrassed by the fierce scramble, finally persuaded those who had returned home without a drink, and tidied up his clothes before he had time to turn his head to look at Lawrence behind him.
"How?"
"Hey, hey, hey, earned, earned!" Lawrence nodded with satisfaction on his face. The Coke was sold out, and the money bag was stuffed to the brim, and this wave was not a loss at all. The most terrible thing was that in just ten minutes, the people had snatched up all the two hundred and forty bottles of Coke that Palamides had brought and sold. This purchasing power cannot be said not to be amazing.
Oh no, it's two hundred and forty bottles minus two. Palamides and Lawrence each drank a bottle. The sorcerer then took a few dollars from his purse and stuffed it into the public purse.
"Today's stall was a great success. The big cat turned to look at the only box left in the stall, the thing that was placed in the most inconspicuous place: "Is that the only box left?" Why don't you sell it too?"
"That's? that was ordered by the Melson Brotherhood, Photon Coke's [Sleep Flavor]. Lawrence smiled wryly, "I'm going to have to send it to the Brotherhood's base next." I guess no one in Cairo's black market wants to buy something like [Sleep Flavor], after all, you will get sleepy immediately after drinking it. "
"Will you get sleepy?"
"Of course it will, didn't Uncle Leopard drink it yesterday?" replied Lawrence, of course.
"Well, I wasn't asking a question just now...... Palamides continued.
"And ...... just now?" Lawrence then turned his head to look in the direction of the questioner, only to see a strange middle-aged uncle.
"Are you ......?"
"Is it true that you just said that this drink will make people sleepy after drinking?" the middle-aged man asked with a straight face, and at first glance he knew that he was looking for trouble.
"Yes, though------"
"Is there alcohol in it?"
"No ......?"
"In other words, it's just the ingredients of the drink itself that make people sleepy, right?"
"You can say that...... The more Lawrence answered, the more he whispered, as if he sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere------ especially when he saw the shadows of dozens of big men behind the middle-aged man.
"This should already be considered a psychotropic drug, isn't it?" the middle-aged man suddenly grinned, and the cruel sneer like a crocodile made people feel cold: "I'm a searcher for the Egyptian Drug Administration. I received news that there were people here who were illegally peddling drugs, so I came to check it out. Looks like the illegal drug peddling is true?"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey------ there's no such thing...... Lawrence rubbed his hands and replied with a smile: "This is not a drug, it is a drink, a food." [Photon Coke] had already undergone a quality verification at the Food Authority yesterday and got permission to sell it, so you can't ------ that."
"I don't care what the situation is on the Food Administration's side. The man took out a small notebook from his bosom and wrote something on it with a pen, as if he was making a small report: "Since this thing has medicinal ingredients, the Drug Administration should get a piece of the pie...... Uh, I mean, this thing should be strictly inspected for quality before you can get it to the market for sale. Selling illegally without a license, do you want to go to jail?"
"Isn't this the black market in Cairo?" asked Palamides, curious.
"Shhhhhh......h We are new here, we don't know the rules, what should you do, do you want to confiscate the goods, or do you have to pay a fine first? We will then send the samples to the Drug Administration for testing, and we will not cause you trouble------
"Of course the goods are to be confiscated," the Drug Administration official looked at Lawrence's swollen purse with a greedy glint in his eyes. He gestured with his fingers a few times, raised seven fingers and said, "The fine is this number, pay it first." The drug administration tests the drug five times as much as this, and you have to be prepared when you go back. "
"Seven ......?" Paramidis didn't understand what the other party's seven fingers meant, and asked with a frown, "Seven thousand Egyptian coins...... Is it?"
The group of officials from the Drug Administration suddenly laughed, and they realized that Palamides was a fool who didn't even know the rules: "It's 700,000 Egyptian dollars." "
"What?!Why don't you go ------?"
Before Palamides could finish speaking, Lawrence covered his mouth with his hand.
"Calm down, Uncle Leopard, calm down...... Lawrence said with great force, trying to control the scene at one point.
"How do you tell me to calm down!" Paramides muttered to Lawrence in a low voice, "Are they crazy? 70,000 Egyptians? We haven't earned enough 70,000 Egyptians today! Not to mention that the quality inspection costs five times as much?!...... 300,000 Egyptian coins!?crazy ?!"
"It's three hundred and fifty thousand. ...... Well, it's all like this, do you think that the quality inspection and license from the Food Sanitation Bureau can be obtained without money dredging?" Lawrence was obviously used to this kind of thing.
"You say we stuffed the Egyptian government with nearly a million dollars just to sell a few bottles of broken Coke?!" Palamides couldn't bear it anymore, and more bruises appeared on his forehead.
"It's like doing business, investing early...... Lawrence replied as a matter of course.
"If you mean [early investment] by bribing these corrupt officials with money......
"I've already discussed with the boss and the old mage, and they each contributed 500,000 yuan as a capital. All of this is within reasonable range, and it has not exceeded expectations for the time being...... "
"No, it's more than expected!" Palamides angrily got up from the stall, "It's unreasonable. "
Seeing the leopard warrior get up with an angry face, the group of officials couldn't help but take a strategic step back, and the middle-aged man who took the lead asked tremblingly, "What do you want to do?"
"I'm not going to do anything. Palamides' eyes glowed with murderous light, but he clenched his fists and did not make a move against these corrupt officials: "Please get out of the way." You can discuss the rest yourself, I don't care!"
"Hey, wait," when Palamides was about to leave, the other party stopped the leopard warrior alive and dead, and grinned greedily: "Seventy thousand Egyptian coins is a fine, and you should pay it as a matter of course." Since you are two people who are setting up a stall here to sell medicine, it is very important that everyone should act according to the standard of punishment------ so it should be that everyone should pay 70,000 Egyptian dollars. "
"You're ......!" the leopard warrior's eyes widened, the other party was challenging his lower limit again and again, and this time he could barely endure it anymore, and he was about to explode!
Lawrence immediately took out the money from his money bag and stuffed it into the other party's arms: "Don't quarrel, everyone is angry and make money, okay? The punishment rules of the adults are very reasonable, we should pay the money!
"Don't indulge them!" said Palamides angrily.
"It's not connivance, it's according to the law!" replied Lawrence, the situation was too critical for him to bother with Palamides' feelings.
Palamides didn't speak, and he suddenly had the feeling of wanting to slap Lawrence's soft egg to death. However, as a candidate of the Knights of the Round Table, he had thought about the British side, no matter how much he wanted to kill the insatiable corrupt officials in front of him, he couldn't do it in public. Bruised, he took a step back.
"We'll see you again. He whispered, his tone filled with a jelly-thick killing intent that spread in all directions.
As a leopard man, he had memorized the smell of the other party, and these officials were not far from death. The big cats are at the right time------ when these guys go to a remote place where no one else is watching, Palamides can make a move.
No one will notice this. And in this world, just a few greedy dog officials have died.
Of course, Palamedis had no idea that anyone was secretly observing all of this while he was planning to kill.
It was about half an hour later.
The black figure of Palamides stalked and moved on the crumbling rooftops of the Old Town, observing the movements of those walking on the road. As a leopard man, stealth and assassination are not uncommon things. He used to be a murderer without blinking, he didn't need a special reason to kill, and now he was just back to his original self.
"Ahh The bastard in the lead even walked around with the money bag he had legally stolen from Lawrence, tossed it in a conspicuous manner, caught it, and tossed it again. He listened to the ding-dong sound of the coins in the money bag hitting each other as they ran, and he was probably dimming.
"Mentally retarded people who don't understand any rules have come to the market in Cairo to spread wild, and this time it's a lesson for them!" said another official, smiling maliciously.
"When you go back, remember to check with someone from the Esophagus Bureau again. How much money the people in the esophagus department have collected from them, we must also collect enough, and no one will be missing!"
"Of course, Chief!"
This group of corrupt officials is talking loudly, because they have entered the more remote areas of the city, and as soon as there are fewer pedestrians on the road, they have no scruples to speak, and they are even more presumptuous.
Of course, they had no idea that they had gradually walked into the ghost gate. The less people there are, the easier it is to be their burial place.
Palamides covered his head with rags. Fortunately, the scorching sun in Egypt was already fierce, and Palamides went out to protect himself from the sun, so he brought plenty of clothes. The clothes he had taken out of his pocket were enough for him to re-dress, to cover all of his black leopard fur, and no one would recognize him afterwards.
At the same time, the big cat took out a dagger, the kind of very ordinary goods, which he had just stolen from the waists of those corrupt officials. It is enough to kill people with this, and the agile Palamides wants to kill with a dagger, which is nothing more than rushing up and wiping the opponent's neck. Then he completely sank the dagger in the Mediterranean, there was no murder weapon, no eyewitnesses, nothing, but there were six scumbags missing from this world out of thin air.
Officials have walked to a very remote area, on the edge of this black market in Cairo. Further out, it's a dense urban area.
Now is the time!
The big cat jumped off the roof without hesitation, and the moment it landed on the ground, it rushed towards the group of damned scum, the dagger in his hand was ready, and he saw blood to seal his throat as soon as he made a move!
However------
Several poisonous blowguns shot the group of officials one by one before Palamides could do it!
