"Tang Fang" did not have any abnormalities, from stepping off the shuttle, to leaving the airport, and taking a maglev car to arrive at the hotel booked in advance, his expression was always calm, and he could not see any waves in his eyes.

There were still 4 hours before the transaction time announced by "Alice", and almost within an hour of receiving the news, he hurried to Gangadas City, which showed that Captain Tang took the hostages very seriously.

In a villa more than ten kilometers away from the hotel where "Tang Fang" and Bai Hao stayed, a woman in a white suit, about 312 years old, was sitting on the sofa, holding a makeup case in her left hand, pinching an eyebrow pencil in her right hand, pursing her sexy lips tightly, and concentrating on tracing her eyebrows.

On the coffee table in front of the sofa is a PDA, showing two men leaving the airport and taking a taxi.

The woman didn't look at the PDA screen even once, she took care of her eyebrows very carefully and patiently, her demeanor was focused, and her expression was serious, not so much makeup, but carving a piece of jade.

Her name is Alice, and she is the boss of "Alice".

In fact, every "Alice" boss is called Alice.

It's a title, it's a symbol, and it's also a name that is feared and hated.

Like those Alices before her, Alice of this era was a woman who loved beauty to the point of madness, and she was even more youthful than the famous Lady Edwina.

Many times, she will spend hours taking care of this face that is not inferior to that of a 20-year-old young girl, and all her clothes, shoes, hats, and accessories are specially designed to ensure that they will not collide with other celebrities.

More often, she will stand in front of the mirror in the bedroom and carefully admire her face, figure and temperament. It's like treating a piece of art that fascinates and amazes people.

Yes, she treats her body as a work of art, not a craft.

Art and craft are never the same thing.

Art has a soul, craft does not.

There were several people standing behind the sofa, black leather shoes and black trousers. A black suit, a white shirt, a black tie, and, of course, black sunglasses and a crisp bayberry head.

It was her bodyguard, and it was also the green leaves that set off the safflower and the black rice that dotted the pearls.

When "Tang Fang" and Bai Hao entered the hotel, Alice finally put down her eyebrow pencil and closed the makeup box. Smiled contentedly, grabbed the goblet on the coffee table that was brighter than her lips, and took a sip.

There is a special smell that washes away the fragrance of fat powder, some fishy, some rushed, like blood.

Because it was blood, the freshest blood from a beautiful young girl.

This is her unique taste and the fine tradition of "Alice".

"Alice" has never lacked women. Especially young and beautiful, energetic and youthful girls.

It's like they're going to end up being the playthings of the rich. Like the slaves of the nobility, here they are a herd of high-quality cows that specialize in producing fresh blood for Alice.

Legend has it that there was once a baroness named Mary who did the same thing, drinking the blood of young girls as a hobby. Treat the evil blood bath as a pleasure, and believe that you can keep your youth forever.

Just as the children of the nobility have a coming-of-age ceremony, the king will be crowned on the throne, and the man and woman will enter the marriage hall to receive the blessings of relatives, friends and priests, before each Alice takes office. A disobedient beautiful girl would be selected, hung upside down from the ceiling with a soft rope, and then slashed her throat with a sharp scythe, allowing the warm and bright blood to flow through every corner of her body.

This is a test to ensure the absolute loyalty of every Alice to the organization, and it is also a blessing from the devil, and a glass of blood every day is also a tool to distort and influence the human mentality, so that she can turn away from kindness and accept evil.

On the other hand, it can frighten the abducted women and children, and force them to submit to the fate of commodities and slaves.

"How long is it until the deal?" She dipped a pure white tissue in the vivid red of her lips, and the crisp sound was like rain beating on tiles.

The vixen always has a beautiful face, the snake queen always has a coveted figure, and the banshees mostly sing seductive songs - the devil's best skill is disguise, and the more beautiful things are, the more likely they are to have an evil nature.

The man near the door among the bodyguards standing side by side behind the sofa said, "There are still 3 hours and 35 minutes." ”

"It's so early." She arranged herself in a large figure and lay on the soft three-seater sofa, looking up at the enchanting red crystal of the ceiling.

"How's that scientist?"

"After being beaten violently, I have become much more honest." The speaker was the same bodyguard as before.

Alice glanced down at the darkened PDA screen and said to herself, "It's a pity that I couldn't kill him last night, but today...... my,honey…… I see where you run, 'Nasero' is not 'Cabreto'. ”

"People who are enemies of 'Alice' never end well."

She never thought of letting go of the guy surnamed Don, Tripatti gave her a lot of money, Reeves also gave her a lot of money, and the more noble person also paid a lot of money for Captain Don's life.

It is definitely a good business to make money and take revenge, not to mention that the hostage is also very valuable.

"Alice" is a group of human traffickers, which does not mean that they only have one way to make money, and many times they will also take on mercenaries and killers to make a living.

She has only three hobbies in her life, her body, money, and men.

"Tell those people to be ready."

"Yes."

Alice yawned, lazily stretched her white arms, and got up and walked to the bedroom.

"I'll go back to sleep and wake me up an hour before the trade starts."

An hour should be enough for touch-ups. She is such a person who pursues perfection, she is an untainted Virgo, even if she kills someone, she has to make it an art.

It's not about right or wrong, it's an attitude towards life, and the more elegant the demon, the more crazy and intoxicating it is.

She likes to watch others go crazy and prefers others to go crazy for her.

She is always good at playing with men. And happy to play with men, today, she can enjoy that man's body, as well as his soul, and then turn the page and turn him into a work of art sealed in Alice's endless life.

There's no denying it. When she was very young, she was naïve and kind, but when the red spread out in front of her eyes and flowed through every corner of her body, she had become a different person.

Selling one's soul to the devil is also a way to live.

………………

After Tang Fang, Roy, and Freya entered the city, they did not go straight to the trading place to set up an ambush, but randomly found a suburban café and waited quietly for the trading time to come.

The café after breakfast was a little deserted, which may have something to do with the location of the shop. And the owner's not very warm hospitality is related. Freya says that the boss should hire a beautiful waitress like her, who is guaranteed to make a lot of money.

The proprietress heard this, glanced at her, and let out a sarcastic sneer - the easy-to-look Freya was certainly not pretty.

The fat boss always intentionally or unintentionally focused on the part under Freya's desk, working absentmindedly at the counter, and secretly saying that it was a pity.

Just like the hospitality of the boss and the hostess, the quality of the coffee is just as poor as the first cup of coffee. didn't drink the second cup at all, even Roy, who has never been a picky eater. I also don't like it, and complains from time to time about why Brother Tang doesn't change to a decent café, so I have to embarrass myself so much.

Tang Fang said that it was clean, Roy said that the coffee was really bad, and Freya said that Tang Fang would go wherever she went.

2:1, Roy is defeated. I had to stare at the boss with vicious eyes, which made the boss feel a chill, worried that he would suddenly rush over and bite off the treasure under the owner.

The humble café is always full of body odor mixed with food, inferior shouts, vulgar greetings to the hostess. and the proprietress bold counter-greetings, this is the portrayal of "Nasero".

Whether it's the Monya Empire, the Sulu Empire, the Phoenix Empire, or the United Kingdom of Tulanx, going to college is a very luxurious thing.

Extravagance means spending a lot of money, and most people in these countries don't have a lot of money, just a little money.

Freya gently stirred the coffee with a spoon, and suddenly felt funny to see the foam gather around the edge of the cup.

Unlike Tang Yun, she can always find a different kind of happiness in small things.

Tang Fang was bored lying on the table, looking at a flat-screen TV hanging on the opposite wall and was silent, sometimes taking a sip of the inferior coffee in front of him like drinking liquor.

Curling matches are played on TV, and the two teams are inseparable, and when it is crowded at night, the cramped café is drowned out with shouts or cheers, and sometimes people who support different teams will even go outside to fight to release the excess hormones in the body, or the depression of losing the gambling money.

Tang Fang had no interest in this kind of curling game, so he seemed a little absent-minded, until a sudden news broke out and made him lift his spirits.

Gangadas city state media reported a sudden incident.

A passenger shuttle numbered MHM138 from Gangadas airport to "Dekaben" suddenly caught fire and exploded, fortunately, it had not yet taken off, it was parked on the runway at the time of the explosion, and the passengers holding tickets for the flight did not board the plane, and there were no casualties.

Freya also saw this news, clapped her little hand on her heart and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's scared me to death." ”

Tang Fang asked curiously, "What's the matter with you?" ”

The little girl thought about it seriously and said puzzledly: "Yes, what's the matter with me." After speaking, he hugged his neck: "Tang Fang is obviously here, why do you feel lucky?" ”

"This shows that Freya is a kind and good girl." Tang Fang scratched her little nose and continued to rest her chin on the dining table.

After the news broadcast, the content switched back to the curling match just now, and the team in the blue uniform was already in the lead.

The boss showed a regretful expression: "Why didn't you explode in the air, it's really disappointing." ”

"How can you think that?" Roy quit, he thought that the boss's idea was very bad, as a person with feelings, how could he curse others like this, so he persuaded him very seriously: "Boss, it doesn't matter if the coffee you brew is not delicious, you should never have such extreme thoughts, it is not right to base your happiness on the pain of others." ”

"Have you ever thought about how many people would have died if that airliner caught fire and exploded in the air? It was nothing short of a disaster. ”

The boss stared at him with an idiotic look: "your." ”

"I think so, you care about me? It's good that those people don't die. If I die, I will not only be happy, but I will also waive your coffee money, and maybe my wife will be in a good mood and will leave you for lunch. ”

Roy was both angry and puzzled: "How can you do this, it is all a living life." You...... Are you cold-blooded? ”

The boss was still staring at him with an idiotic look.

The proprietress took a spoon and knocked on the tin box behind the counter where the spices were placed: "Brush the dishes." ”

"Brainless goods." The man didn't dare to throw fire at the woman, glared at Roy viciously, and obediently went to the back kitchen to brush the dishes.

The proprietress came out from behind the counter and filled the cup in front of Don with coffee, and saw that Roy's cup was still full, a little displeased.

"Do you know who the passengers of MHM138 are?"

Roy frowned lightly and didn't speak.

"The MHM series is a luxury airliner, and the passengers on it are either rich or expensive." She turned and walked back to the counter, continuing to grind her coffee. "For people like us, it's even happier to see that than Christmas," he said. ”

Roy didn't understand: "This is not an excuse for you to gloat, hatred of the rich and hating officials can neither improve your life, nor can it change this society, if you can't look at the problem with a more positive eye, it will only make life shrouded in darkness, no light, no future." What you need is optimism and hard work. Instead of complaining. ”

His emotions were a little excited, and when it came to the end. There was a touch of redness on his cheeks, which looked a little silly and a little cute.

The proprietress looked at him with a smile: "Little brother, is this the worst coffee you have ever drunk in your life?" ”

Roy didn't know why she asked, glanced at the cooling coffee in front of him, and nodded honestly.

Outside the door, a homeless man walked by his home. Looking at the flavored coffee poster posted outside the window, he licked his slightly dry lips and continued to walk towards the graffiti wall at the end of the street with many unbearable words.

A happy smile appeared on her face, which had long since lost her youthful color, and she said eloquently: "You know what, if it's night. The room would be full of guests, drinking coffee and gossiping, many of them would leave complimenting the coffee for its good taste, and some brazen guys would stick to it until we closed. ”

Roy looked down again and swept the coffee cup in front of him, clearly remembering its taste, very astringent, and a little bitter, without the smoothness of Yingluo.

Is it delicious? Knowing that this was what it tasted like, he would rather have a glass of boiled water.

The proprietress glanced at the half-dead Captain Tang on the table next to her, a faint light flashed in the depths of her pupils, and she looked back at Roy and said, "Little brother, do you know the price of this cup of coffee?" ”

Roy turned his head to glance at the electronic menu next to the counter: "6 yuan a cup." ”

"Nope." The proprietress said, "It's not worth 1 yuan." ”

The face of the half-grown child was a little ugly, and he said that it was no wonder it was so unpleasant, and besides, this store was too dark, and things that cost less than 1 yuan were sold for 6 yuan, and the profit was 500%.

The proprietress stopped what she was doing, dipped the back of her hand into the beads of sweat on her forehead, and continued: "Even in such a remote area, such a small shop, the monthly rent alone is worth the annual income of two ordinary laborers. ”

"Water costs money, electricity costs money, and garbage throws away."

"I have to pay the protection fee, because I have to open my business to do business, we have to eat, our children have to study, there are eight elderly people who have no pension to support, there is a mortgage to be repaid, and there are medical and education funds to save."

"Taxes and fees must also be paid, as well as market management fees, property fees, fire equipment fees, annual examination fees, land use tax, business tax, transaction deposits, individual income tax, air pollution fees, environmental treatment fees, additional taxes, ......"

"Do you still want to hear it?"

Roy shook his head, he was completely stunned by the taxes.

The proprietress continued: "If you factor in the above costs, then the actual profit of a cup of coffee is only 1 yuan. ”

Roy blinked vigorously: "What a high cost!" You can use groundwater, and solar power is good. ”

"There are water level detectors buried deep in the ground, do you think they are used for something, to protect the underground ecological environment? No, it is used to monitor whether the groundwater has been stolen, because the ecological environment of the entire planet is transformed by the government, whether it is drinkable water, non-drinkable water, underground mineral veins, and heavenly air, they are all national property. Therefore, the illegal mining of groundwater is illegal, which not only destroys the planetary environment, but also embezzles national property, and should be punished heavily. ”

"As for solar power generation, you need to apply for a permit at the power department, report to the energy management department, go to the fire department to get a submission, go to the fire station to submit a plan, and finally get the approval of the emergency management office, the occupational safety and health administration, the registration office, the technical standards authority, the town hall, etc. This way, you can install solar panels on the rooftop. ”

"It's complicated." Roy was puzzled: "Since all these taxes are handed over to the state, and the cost of transforming the planet is actually everyone's money, why is there such a crime as embezzlement of state property?" ”

The proprietress showed a look of disdain and looked at him like an idiot: "This country is not yours and not mine, it has both a name and a surname...... Its surname is Olybald. ”

"Oh, and one more thing to forget, whether it's the cup you use for coffee, or the table and chair under your buttocks, the surrounding furnishings, and the utensils on the counter, there are taxes that exceed the actual value of several times in it. And the solar panels you said used in your mouth, as well as the fire-fighting equipment at the door, and the electronic billboards on the wall...... Such things are only available in specific stores, as for the price...... Hehe. ”

She didn't say it, and she didn't have to say it. (To be continued.) )
