Chapter 189: Intent
"What an idiot". At the dock, at the sound of the whistle, Maria lowered her arms, and then stepped forward and snatched the box from the hand of the former circus director who had fallen in a pool of blood:
"There is no such thing as a free lunch. I don't even understand such a truth, I really lived in vain for so many years. β
"But, damn it...... That man, unexpectedly, actually ......" The former regimental commander who was shot in the calf struggled to get up. Beside him, his two long-dead bodyguards with pistols crawled over, trying to continue struggling to resist.
"If you want to blame you, you're stupid."
So Maria shot again, first breaking the man's limbs and then hitting the man in the abdomen. The body of the former regiment commander who had lost too much blood was pumped one after another, but he was not dead. But that's pretty much it.
"Goodbye, then."
With the last shot, the other party died. Maria, who had done a lot of dirty work in the guerrillas, quickly cleaned up all traces of herself. Then he left briskly with a large suitcase full of bonds, stocks, large bills, and gold bars.
"Really...... It doesn't seem like anything has changed in my life. She smiled self-deprecatingly as she walked.
β¦β¦ After that, a group of guys in black suits and sunglasses who didn't look like good people quickly poured out. The bodies of the former circus director and his bodyguards were disposed of......
In this way, I passed a corner in the hands of others, and then successfully hooked the other party's life savings, successfully multiplied the money, and returned to my hands. It's really gratifying.
So, I won the matter. In the first few days of taking over the circus, Kokuli was scared, but it wasn't long before she saw it. I don't have any ill will towards her. Kokuli, who was relieved, was still a little strange about why I would be so nice to her, but she finally didn't cower at me. It's a great start. All that's left to do is ......
"You want her to be a dancer at Chanel?" I tilted my head and looked at Granmar sitting across from me with a disgruntled expression.
"Your Excellency, I have taken a fancy to that child's spiritual talent. Since this child can be favored by Your Excellency, he must be a scheduled member of the Paris Chinese Strike Regiment. Then there's nothing wrong with inviting her to Chanel, isn't it? Granmar replied.
"In fact, that kid does have a high spiritual gift. But that is not a reason for us to force her to participate in the war. I said, "As a soldier, it's a shame to send a girl like her to the battlefield." β
"Is that really what you think, Your Excellency?" As if she had heard something funny, Granmar looked at Rainey sitting next to me: "Then how do you explain the existence of Miss Rainey sitting next to you?" β
"Rainey is different." I replied, "She's differentβit might be unfair to say that, but Rainey and Kokuli are different." β
"I don't understand what you're saying. I thought that in the eyes of the general, the soldiers were all the same. β
"You're stealing concepts, Kokuli isn't a soldier, we're not talking about the generality of soldiers."
In this way, I went toe-to-toe with Granmar, fighting over Kokuliko's ownership. But of course, I had the upper hand.
"But, sir, you know, we need men, and to defend Paris we can't rely on the efforts of our men alone, we need more soldiers."
"If it's for this reason alone, then I can notify the Imperial Government and send three or four more Guangwu pilots with spiritual powers. But please don't involve children who don't know anything in the war! β
And I also occupy the moral high ground. As for Granmar's use of Rainey, the rest of the Paris Strike Regiment knew Rainey's difference, so no one thought I was wrong.
"yes, if you pull Kokuliko in like this, then Kokuliko is too pitiful." On the other side, Erica said loudly.
"The task of defending Paris is left to us, and there is no need to add new players." Kulishnu agrees with me.
ββ¦β¦ Well, let's leave that out for now. After a little sigh, Granmar decided to hold back for a moment, and then took out a newspaper: "Everyone, look at the news, here are things that we are all interested in. β
So I took the newspaper from the maid Akane and began to read. One of the headlines talks about the recent increase in jewelry thefts in the Paris area, while the other is about how much the famous thief Robella has stolen in recent times. The first one is relatively fresh, and the second one is old news.
"I've heard of Roberia's words, and the other party will use superpowers or similar means to commit crimes...... In other words, you want to win her into the Paris Chinese Strike Regiment? I asked.
"Very perceptive, Lord Leon. I do mean that. Granmar said, "I do have the intention. There are very few people with spiritual power in this world, and there are even fewer people like Roberia who have such powerful spiritual power. If you don't bring her in, it'sβ"
"--I object! How can such a sacred mission as the defense of Paris be entrusted to such a scoundrel!? Kulicinu shouted excitedly.
"So, it's just an intention now, and it's useless for you to object." Granmar then slashed Kulishnu's anger: "Besides, there is another thing, do you see?" β
"Jewelry theft?" I asked.
"Yes, traces of demonic power have been detected at the scene of the theft of jewelry."
"Is it like the rabbit guy before?" Erica asked.
"Maybe, maybe not, but since there is a demonic reaction, then it is indeed time for us to appear." I replied like this.
"In fact, we've laid out a decoy." "In three days' time, there will be a joint jewellery exhibition by several famous jewelers," Granmar said. The conclusion will be clear at that time. β
"After three days, get ready for battle." So I ordered. Everyone responded with a bang and left the command room. The moment I left, Granmar stopped me again:
"Your Excellency, you said that you didn't want to win over Kokuliko to drive the light martial arts, so why did you buy that circus?"
"What do you think, manager?" I didn't answer, I asked the other way around.
