Mr. Otayat looked at Alberta, and the former said slowly, "I need you to do something, assassinate a man named Faltober, Yasfoot Faltober!" ”

As soon as Mr. Otayat finished speaking, Alberta frowned. Mr. Otayat then asked: "Do you know the man of Asfut Faltober?" ”

Alberta did know the man of Asfurt Faltober. Because the port of Epalai under the rule of the empire has three major forces, the most powerful of which is the power of the Imperials, the second is the power of the local tycoons, and the third is the power of the resistance group. And in this, the power of the Empire is dominated by the power of the sheriff and the local Imperial guard army. There are three main powers of tycoons: Ocrot tycoon, Aktau tycoon and Faltober tycoon. Among them, the tycoon of Okrot was the spokesman of the forces sent by Dzerkatsky, which was well known in the port of Epalai. And the identity of the Aktau tycoon is a bit confusing. After all, because Aktau Tycoon's power is supported by the Opperon Imperial Guards, Imperial Security Corps, and even Resistance Groups, Aktau Tycoon never takes a stand.

The origin of the Faltober tycoon is unknown, and it is only known that when he appeared in the port of Epalai, he was already in the sky and had huge assets. The first two tycoons were obedient to the Empire and did not dare to disobey. The Faltober tycoon, on the other hand, was somewhat dismissive of the Empire.

Of the three tycoons, Faltober was the most powerful and powerful, and legend has it that he had more than two thousand rifles, armed with five combat teams, and if anyone dared to disobey him, they would be killed directly. This is followed by the Oklote tycoon, and the smallest is the Aktau tycoon. It can be said that Aktau Tycoon is left and right, and he is good at dancing with long sleeves, and if he does not have this ability, Aktau Tycoon will not be able to survive in the cracks of many forces.

Alberta pondered for a while, and Mr. Otayat asked Alberta randomly, "Do you know Faltober Tycoon?" On the contrary, at this time, Alberta did not tell the truth. In fact, when he tried to enter the port of Epalai, he had already done a deep study of these tycoons and the various forces of Epalai, but at this time he pretended not to know.

Mr. Otayat then let out a long sigh: "I used to ...... He is very fond of Yasfut and cares about him very much...... I didn't expect that this Yasfoot Faltober would become the biggest obstacle to my business......"

Alberta listened to Ortayat's words, and he even called Faltober Tycoon by his name, which shows that their relationship is not ordinary. Even Alberta suspects that the backer behind the Faltober tycoon is Mr. Ortayat. And Alberta is well aware that the power in the port of Epalai is very complex. First of all, the resistance in the port of Epalai numbered more than 3,000 men. This is the number of resistance forces in the city. If the number of resistance troops in the suburbs and nearby towns of Epalai is included, the number of resistance troops in Epalai will exceed 8,000. These eight thousand people are undoubtedly a huge threat and a time bomb for the Empire.

It's not that the empire doesn't want to get rid of these 8,000 people, but every action of the empire is almost known to these resistance forces, and they make all kinds of transfers as quickly as possible, not to confront the main forces of the empire, or even to clash head-on with the empire. These resistance forces were mainly composed of the former guards of the port of Epalai, accounting for about 1,000 to 2,000 men. The remaining 5,000 or so were citizens of the port of Epalai who did not want to be enslaved, and they also accounted for a large number. Later, in some way, the Duchy of Casdilipa sent to Epale some of the citizens of the Capetian Merchant Free State who were unwilling to give in, although the Capetian Merchant Free State was defeated and the empire became its protectorate. However, a considerable number of former Free State soldiers were unwilling to give in, so they were transported by the Duchy of Castilipa to the port of Epale in some special secret form, where they became part of the resistance. They occupy at least a thousand men of the Resistance.

The Resistance unit that Alberta last found in Epale Harbor, the resistance team led by the lawyer, was a group of resistance groups disguised by local citizens. In the port of Epalai, there is an inexplicable balance: the Empire cannot fully occupy the port of Epalai, but the Empire continues to invest in the port of Epalai. Because the empire did receive a lot of benefits from the port. Although the Empire was unable to fully occupy the port of Epalai, it fostered a large number of tycoons, some of whom were not controlled by the Empire, but the Empire was completely happy with them.

Because of the power of the Resistance Group, the Empire needs these tycoons to maintain a certain level of chaos in the port of Epalai, and maintaining a certain level of chaos is not harmful for the Empire to rule the port of Epalai, on the contrary, it has certain benefits. Because the empire is always unable to fully control the port of Epalai and maintain a certain level of chaos, it makes the citizens of Epalai who want to resist be shared by the chaotic power of the chaotic port. And the empire only needs to collect its wealth. As a result, the port of Epalai under the rule of the Empire was prosperous but also chaotic.

And this Faltober tycoon played an important role in this. Because of his existence, the Resistance was leaked several times by information that the Empire was preparing to exterminate, which made the Resistance narrowly escaped several times. The main thing is that the Faltober tycoons were not completely attached to the empire, but were in their own right in the port of Epalai. In a sense, the empire did not dare to move this tycoon lightly, lest the weak balance and fragile ecological environment of all aspects of Epalai be destroyed.

Alberta was thinking that if he killed the Faltober tycoon, then the Resistance would have one less partner to work with, after all, Faltober assisted the Resistance several times, although he was not for the righteous resistance of the port of Epale, but only for his interests, but Alberta was afraid that once he died, it would cause serious instability to the forces of the port of Epala, so that the balance of the empire would be heavily tilted in favor of the power of the empire, and even a considerable part of the resistance would be wiped out...... That's what Alberta fears.

Thinking of this, Alberta said slowly, "Dear Mr. Otayat, I wonder what makes you so angry with this Faltober tycoon?" ”

Mr. Otayat smiled, and he looked out the window at the scenery of the train from the city of Apercinka in the Akron Yatingate to the town of Atumt, and he said thoughtfully that "the world is about to fall into a war...... But what does this war bring us? Will humanity continue to progress, or will it be stopped? It's been over 900 years since we developed the power of steam, but it wasn't until the Empire invaded that we knew that the world's steam could still be used for trains! It's incredible......"

Mr. Otayat paused at this point, and he said slowly: "What I am thinking about is how to make my business stand in the world and continue to grow my strength...... War and other politics are not a businessman's concern, but my main concern is ...... How can you earn more wealth! ”

Alberta smiled: "You said that wealth is just a number for you......"

Mr. Otayat smiled again: "Then I will add now: there is no one in the world who does not like this number!" ”

Mr. Otayat laughed. Alberta, on the other hand, asks Mr. Otayat, "Why do you want the life of Tycoon Faltober?" I want you to answer this question positively. ”

Mr. Ortayat looked out the window and said, "Do you see the world?" I am used to referring to a kingdom as a world, because a kingdom is not the same as a kingdom. In this world, it seems that only guns and cannons can decide everything...... And decide who is strong and who is weak! But...... What now? In fact, it is exactly the same in business, there is no safe place, there are always many people who go bankrupt in one day, and there are many people who get everything in the same day...... Therefore, business is also a war in a sense......"

After Mr. Otayat had finished speaking, he said meaningfully: "Therefore, if I want to achieve more in business, I need to defeat more enemies, and Tycoon Faltober has become an adversary in my business, so I will get rid of him!" It's as simple as that. ”

Alberta stared at the merchant gentleman carefully, and he pondered how a small unscrupulous tycoon, who was not even a wealthy businessman, could be Mr. Otayat's enemy? This puzzled Alberta. Therefore, Alberta decided that there must be hidden secrets and conspiracies. But Alberta is thinking about what the situation at Port Epale would look like if he killed the Faltober tycoons!

Alberta asked Mr. Ortayat, "Then why do you need me to pretend to be someone killed by the Principality of Castilipa?" ”

Mr. Otayat sneered, "Because it's in my best interest!" No matter what I do, the Empire will always think I'm the one who killed, so I need you to do it! This Faltober tycoon who made the Empire think that it was the Duchy of Casdilipa who assassinated him. ”

Alberta pondered for a long time, pondering whether this matter would be a danger to the Principality of Casdilipa. But in the process of his thoughts, he thought: why would the assassination of the Faltober tycoon as the assassin of the Duchy of Casdilipa be in the best interest of Mr. Otayat? And the tycoon himself can't do it, and he has to not let the empire find out...... There are so many intrigues and suspicions......"

Alberta felt like he was at odds with the tiger, and that his dealings with Mr. Otayat were like walking on a wooden bridge in the dark, and if he was not careful, he would fall into the darkness of the abyss......

But at this point, Alberta suddenly said, "I promise you!" I agree! ”
