Chapter 838: Deceitful Negotiation Greed Original Sin

In a burst of somewhat grim laughter, a foreigner dressed as a gentleman had already sat down in front of Smith Chow, and smiled brightly at him.
And for this somewhat terrifying, even disgusting smile, Smith frowned, and rarely brought a little anger.
"You're late, Mephisto. As we agreed, you should have arrived an hour before. ”
"It's not easy to do the work you've arranged. Besides, I came a long time ago, but I didn't have the courage to come up to you when I saw the guy sitting next to you. ”
The smile on his face didn't even change, and Mephisto replied. As he spoke, he unceremoniously shoved the food in front of him into his mouth. The ferocious eating appearance made many diners who were used to seeing foreigners eat have a miserable feeling.
In this regard, Smith only frowned slightly, and then said to him with a little mockery.
"Why, mephisto, Lord of Hell. Is there also such a low emotion as fear? ”
"Fear?" Hearing this, Mephisto, who was feasting on it, raised his head and showed a greasy smile. "This emotion is not low at all. This is something that every living creature in this world has to learn. Only when we learn to fear do we know what is worth fearing. And only when you learn to be in awe can you know what you deserve. Isn't it because of awe that human beings can stand out from all living beings and become the masters of the earth now? ”
"I'm not here to talk to you about this kind of human development. Tell me, how did you do with your preparations? ”
Putting down the water glass in his hand, Smith asked him directly about his work. Hearing him ask, Mephisto raised his head so that he could wipe his mouth for a moment before speaking to him slowly.
"Of course I've done everything you commanded. It's just that I have to explain that just to lay the groundwork for your plan, it's not good to make sacrifices to all your loyal lackeys. ”
"You mean those people from the Shida family?" Hearing him say this, Smith immediately sneered. "Why, do you think I don't know that they secretly contacted you and wanted to use your power to defeat me and seize control of Hydra?"
"You know. Well, I'm not an exception at all. After all, Lord Baron, who will not fail, if you can't even see the half-heartedness of your subordinates, then you are not worthy of cooperating with me to this extent. Just, is it necessary to do that? You know, without Shishida, your control of Hydra Asia will be completely out of control. At this time, in the face of an aggressive government alliance, this is not a wise decision. ”
As if with some kind intentions, Mephisto persuaded Smith like this. And for his statement, Smith was completely scornful.
"You know what? Mephisto, in this country, there is a saying that if you go outside, you must first settle inside. If you can't even subdue the people who have two hearts under your command, then how can you rely on to face a more powerful enemy in the outside world? ”
"But, my old friend. The history of this country is also telling you such a thing. If you desperately fight among yourself, then the final result is just for outsiders to pick up the cheap. There is a saying, how do you say that the snipe and the clam compete with each other, and the fisherman profits? ”
Mephisto's expression had evolved to the point of distress, and if people who didn't know him would have really thought that he was distressed to this extent for his friend. It's just that Smith knows very well what kind of goods this guy in a gentleman's skin is in the mainland. So he wasn't at all impressed by his expression. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and asked him coldly.
"So, who will be the fisherman?"
As soon as this question was asked, Mephisto, who was still smiling, immediately restrained his face and no longer dwelt on this issue. And this also proves that the reason why he shows this appearance is just to cover it up.
The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman must see the pair of competing snipe clam if he wants to profit. And Smith exterminated those half-hearted guys under his hands, using thunderous methods. Almost overnight, it can be said that those bad intentions were bleeding and completely eradicated.
And in order to cover up such actions, he even mobilized classified troops and went directly to the isolated island prison to give the US government a surprise attack, using a fancy bomb to seduce their eyes. In this case, the government allies who were completely blinded could not be the so-called fishermen. And the real fisherman is obviously only the well-dressed guy in front of him.
Smith won't forget the devil under the skin of this well-dressed guy. Such a guy would never have good intentions towards anyone. Even if they were currently partners, it was impossible for Smith to trust him.
Just like now, Smith asked him to clean up the Shida family, not because he found out that they were colluding. It's a petition for Mephisto as a partner to prove his position. And as a cunning guy, Mephisto naturally made the smartest decision.
For him, cooperation is cooperation, and benefits are benefits. When it comes time to make a choice, he will naturally choose the one that is more beneficial to him. And in this regard, Smith undoubtedly maintains a huge advantage. Therefore, he naturally did not hesitate to show loyalty to him.
Of course, they all know very well that this is just a show. In the final analysis, it's just that the conditions provided by Smith are too exciting for him, otherwise with his temperament as a devil, it would be impossible for him to do his best for Smith so much. Moreover, a large part of this is due to the fact that Smith is too leaky.
He took it one step at a time, not giving Mephisto a chance to exploit the loopholes. And his offer was like a carrot tied to the front of a donkey, making Mephisto salivate. Being hung like this all the time naturally makes Mephisto feel uncomfortable. And he and Smith's men quietly reached an agreement, not to be a warning to him.
He believed that Smith's wisdom should have understood his warning. It's just that he can't help but mention it to him.
"Smith, about your plans. I guess I need to remind you. Shouldn't you speed things up? You know, I've put a lot of effort into your plan, but until now, I haven't even seen a hint of your plan. It's not good, it's very bad. You know, a lot of people have limited patience, including me. ”
"Mephisto, if you have a way to hold back the person you just saw here. Then I don't mind launching my plan now. And if you can't do that, then just wait for me honestly and don't make waves around me. I can tell you very clearly that I will only wait until what I think is the most appropriate time to start this project. If you run out of patience, then you can quit my plan now. ”
In the face of Mephisto's hints, Smith naturally saw it clearly and clearly. But he did not have any intention of compromise, on the contrary, he insisted on his position on this issue, and did not even allow anyone to give him any opinion at all.
In the face of Smith's attitude, Mephisto's eyes shrank, and the smile on his face suddenly became a little hideous. He wanted to just knock over the table and use the most violent and direct action to get what he wanted. He has done this kind of thing countless times in the past countless years, and it can be said that the experience is too full to be sufficient. But in the face of Smith, he simply couldn't do that.
The reward offered by Smith was so tempting to him that he couldn't make up his mind to turn the table. And his cunning made it impossible for Mephisto to get anything in return even if he overturned the table. Mephisto is a devil after all, and the devil is the most profit-oriented existence. After weighing the gains and losses several times, he immediately restrained the look on his face, and then let his smile return to his most gentlemanly state.
"I see what you mean. Smith, I'll give you plenty of patience. But I also hope that you can live up to my trust. You know, the trust of a devil is not something to obtain, and if you disappoint me, then even a person like you will inevitably feel hellish torture. At this point, trust me, I'm not telling you anything. ”
"Of course." The threat from the devil didn't make Smith feel any intimidation. He tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing an indifferent smile. "Since I dare to deal with the devil, I am naturally fully mentally prepared. So, you don't need to worry about anything unnecessarily. I'm in control. With a little patience, you'll get what you want. ”
"That's the best. In that case, I will wait for your summons, Mr. Smith Chow. ”
After a deep look at Smith, Mephisto stood up and quietly walked away from him. And watch this devil gradually disappear into the darkness. Smith's face was marked with disdain.
Greed is always man's original sin. And even the devil is not free from the influence of greed. Greed is endless, but don't they think about it, will they be supported to death because of this? I'm afraid it's not that they don't know this, but they don't want to think about it at all. In the final analysis, it was the huge benefits that made him selectively forget such a possibility.
And in Smith's eyes, this will be the biggest mistake he has ever made, a mistake that will not be repeated again. (To be continued.) )
