Chapter 664: new
A smile like a March spring breeze suddenly appeared on Durin's cold face, he let go of his hand, and the girl fell to the ground, helping the girl to brush her hair while helping the girl to stand up, "Look, it's very simple, isn't it? Why do you have to make such a mess?", Dulin helped the girl to the edge of the sofa and sat down, and then decisively pulled out two blades from the girl's thighs and shoulders, "Get some wound medicine and bandages, and prepare a set of clothes for her by the way." โ
His eyes were gentle like a warm boyfriend in love, carefully and attentively helping the girl to deal with her wounds, making Angela, who had been trembling, suspect that the handsome but imposing young man in front of him was a psychopath.
She didn't dare to speak, and when Durin helped her get rid of the wound and put it on the bandage, she curled up in the corner of the sofa and lowered her head, feeling very sad. She felt that she didn't love her family for sixteen years as much as she thought she would, and she was willing to say something she shouldn't have said in order to survive, which would most likely cause her family to be killed by the warriors of the Earth God Cult.
The Cult of the Earth God spent sixteen years building a world for her that she once felt happy and fulfilled, and then shattered the world with her own hands, and gave her a new hope, a future that could be touched. But now, she ruined this future with her own hands, she felt that she had betrayed her family, she was sad and couldn't breathe, she felt at this time that if she was a little braver just now, maybe her family would be able to live.
Even if you lose her, you will definitely be very happy and happy in the days without her in the future. Even if she gave her life for this, maybe she would be happy to see the happiness of her family in heaven, right?
Durin patted the couch cushion beside him, "Come, sit here." โ
The girl glanced up at him, then quickly lowered her head, and she slowly moved to Dorin's side, and she was now more afraid of Doolin than the woman who had shot her with a blade.
If Dulfo had known, he might have killed her.
"Tell me the answers I need, I can give you what you want, it's equivalent exchange, and I'm a very honest businessman. Dulin took out his cigarette case, he felt that Angela would give himself something to gain, "Do you want a cigarette?"
The girl glanced at the cigarette case quickly, hesitated and nodded, Durin directly lit one and handed it to her, the girl took a puff, and coughed violently. At the time of the Earth God Cult, smoking was not allowed in both boys and girls. Because it doesn't take long for the habit of smoking, but it takes time to quit, and if necessary, it's not too late for them to learn it after they've assigned a goal.
Not all target people like the kittens around them who can smoke.
"Charles...... He is the great priest in the church, second only to the apostles and elders, and has a high status in the church. Some time ago, an elder disappeared, and the Apostle said that he wanted to fill the vacancy, and Charles wanted to go up to the next level, so he received a task. At this point, the girl looked up at Durin, who was listening attentively, again, "The task of pulling you into the church is very difficult, and Charles feels that if he can do it, he will definitely be appreciated by the apostles, and let him fill that void." โ
"I'm just a tactic he uses, and he wants me to persuade you to attend an in-church event next month, and if you can, you'd better be able to ...... If you like me, you have a better chance of success. โ
"The headquarters of the Cult of the Earth God is in Mount Wagra, and there is a cave halfway up the mountain to the east, which is inside the cave. โ
Durin nodded, "Very good, this information is very valuable, do you know some other things, for example, what is the purpose of the Earth God Cult to develop to this day, and what big names have joined this church?"
Angela hurriedly shook her head, "I don't know much, I've been in the Holy Court Academy all these years, and I haven't been in contact with other affairs in the sect. It was only last month that I was slightly exposed to some common sense of life outside because I was selected, and I really don't know anything else!"
Looking at the girl's expression on the verge of crying, Durin felt that what she said could not be fake, even if it was not true. He beckoned to Dove, "Take her to a shower, change her clothes, and lock her up in the attic on the third floor." When I figure things out, I'll consider not letting her out. As he spoke, he glanced back at Angela, "Do you have anything to say about my arrangement?"
Angela's eyes widened suddenly, she raised her hand, trying to grab Durin's arm, but in the end she didn't dare to put it back, "Just now...... Didn't you just say that you would be able to save my family, and that Charles might kill them for my betrayal...... Please, whatever you ask me to do, just save them. โ
Angela then told Durin what had happened to her, and Durin nodded after listening with a calm face, "What I promised will always be valid, tell me their names and addresses, and if you haven't been deceived, you'll be able to see them here in ten days." โ
Dรผrin's answer made Angela's whole body freeze there, as if the soul had left the body at a moment, leaving only an empty shell. She soon came to life, tears bursting out of her eyes, and she was too excited to organize any effective words.
Doolin is not a good person, nor is he a bad person, he is a person who has a self-code of conduct. He will not pursue to shape himself into a good person for the sake of external factors, nor will he give up the correct three views because of others' evaluation of him. He is a person between good and bad, those who love him think he is an angel, those who hate him regard him as a demon, as for what kind of person he is, Durin feels that as long as he can face the world according to his own ideas, he is a satisfied person.
The next evening, Durin went to Henry's estate on the outskirts of the city.
Owning a private estate is a very face-saving thing in an economically developed area, after all, a manor often represents status and status, but owning a manor in the west does not make you look great, because westerners call manors "farms". This group of very realistic people do not care about how much garden it takes to build a house on this worthless land, they are more concerned about what different things they can eat at night, or where they can get a sum of money to improve their lives.
The evening buffet was very small, and there were only eleven people in total, but all of them had great prestige in the west.
First of all, Henry, as the master, is a very famous person, and the second son of the steel tycoon alone is enough to make him famous in the west, because of his background and because he has always fallen behind in the struggle with the Western Mining Association. In addition, there is Sandra, a woman like a femme fatale in the eyes of Westerners, and Mr. Cliffluff of the Jindes Mining Group, as well as other representatives of large conglomerates in the west. These people all serve different group companies or consortia, but they all have the same characteristic in the west, that is, they have been suppressed by the Western Mining Association.
There is no doubt about the influence of the West Mining Association, and even if the Orvili Group wants to get a little ore and metal ingots, they need to use the bloodbath to wash the mining area and then buy it and operate it themselves, which shows that the dominance of the West Mining Association is definitely not just as simple as talking.
In the past, they may have had some connection with each other, but they were only closely connected, but since Durin came to the west, he realized that this was a powerful force. The reason why they did not form an effective interest group before they appeared may have something to do with their chaotic competition with each other. The intricacies of competition make it impossible for many large group companies to form an effective circle of cooperation, and they need a fulcrum to support their limited cooperation with each other, and Dรผhrin is this fulcrum.
First of all, Durin does not have any competition with them, after he came, he has been enclosing land to build farms, even if there are some minerals under his command, there are only some, that is not his main business, he is not a threat. Secondly, Durin's status in society still has a certain deterrent effect, and the reputation of the uncrowned king of the East Coast and the underground emperor of Otis also makes these people willing to recognize his status and accept his invitation.
Due to a variety of factors, through Henry as a bridge, Doolin brought these people together.
Next, just like all the big fish eat the small fish in the capital game, they need to discuss how to completely dismember the West Mining Society, which has been injured.
and how to distribute the profits after the dismemberment and form a whole new interest group.
As soon as Durin arrived at Henry's manor, he was greeted by a young man he did not know, in his thirties, dressed very modestly, with a scar on his forehead, giving him a special temperament that had nothing to do with money.
"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Carlos, the executive director of Bondica West. After shaking hands with Durin, Henry began to introduce the young man beside him, "Mr. Carlos heard that you were coming, so he had to meet you with me. He smiled and glanced at Durin, explaining why a stranger greeted him with him, and then introduced Dulin to Carlos, "This is the best of the young people of the empire that we often talk about, Durin." โ
Durin reached out and shook Carlos' hand, "It's an honor to know you, Mr. Carlos. โ
Carlos smiled and agreed with Doolin, "Me too, Mr. Doolin. โ
