Chapter 132: Cooperation
Ryan walked around the study, unable to organize the language and not knowing how to speak to the milk.
"What's the use of you walking back and forth like that?" Lucifer looked at him speechlessly.
"I haven't spoken a few words to Milk in decades, and this time I have to whisper to him to borrow someone and a boat." Ryan sighed helplessly.
"It's been like this, you still can't put it down?" Lucifer frowned.
"It's not all about face." Ryan explained, "In my opinion, milk is even scarier than King's. He has a strange personality and is very withdrawn. β
Lucifer couldn't help but smile when he saw Ryan's uneasy appearance throughout the whole process, and said, "As the FΓΌhrer, you still have a lot of work to be strengthened. β
"It's not your turn to teach me a lesson, you can make this call!" Ryan said unhappily.
"It's useless for you to provoke me!" Lucifer looked at Ryan playfully, "I don't have a position on this call, and milk doesn't necessarily give me that face." β
"I'm just afraid that I will be rejected, and it will be embarrassing to meet in the future." Ryan muttered.
"What do you want to do so much? It really doesn't look like your personality! Lucifer smiled and said, "You just have to do it, and I'll help you clean up all the mess during the economic reconstruction." β
"Okay, that's what you said. If I can't borrow it, I'll need you to do it. Ryan emphasized.
"Don't worry, Milk will agree." Lucifer said with great firmness.
"Well, then I really called......" Ryan picked up the telephone receiver and put it to his ear, and glanced at Lucifer with a hesitant look.
"Hurry up, if you have the time to talk nonsense, it's better to solve the problem as soon as possible." Lucifer urged.
Ryan finally mustered up the courage to dial the landline in the Milk office.
After the phone rang, Ryan kept on guard, waiting for the other party to answer.
"Ryan, what are you looking for me?" Milk's slightly tired voice came from the other end of the phone.
Ryan didn't expect Milk to go straight to the point, and he glanced at Lucifer.
Lucifer directly chose to ignore his little eyes for help, and leisurely sipped tea.
"Well, that, how are you doing?" Ryan asked awkwardly.
"If you have anything to do, just say it. Don't go around in circles with me anymore. Milk said indifferently.
"Okay, then I'll be blunt, I want to borrow someone from you to borrow a boat." Ryan's voice was obviously lacking in confidence.
Milk frowned slightly and asked, "Why?" β
"The economic reconstruction project in Wu District has encountered some difficulties in the implementation process." Ryan, even if reluctant, chose to tell the truth.
"We need to go to sea for field trips, but our people don't have enough experience to go to sea." Ryan explained.
"Is it the economic reconstruction that was mentioned at the last summit?" Milk asked.
"That's right." Ryan hurriedly replied.
"I can lend you both people and boats." Milk said cheerfully.
"Unconditionally?" Ryan was surprised.
"Well, your Wu District's economy is too sparse, and Cole and King's concerns are correct." Milk continued, "If you can't survive the martial arts area, you will inevitably pose a threat to other regions. β
Ryan listened silently to the voice on the other end of the phone.
"The ship will depart for the waters of the Wu District tonight, and it is expected to arrive early the day after tomorrow." "The crew will ask you to take care of them when the time comes, and I hope to see them return safely." β
"Milk, thank you." Ryan still thanked him, he originally thought that with Milk's character, he probably wouldn't answer his request.
Ryan hung up the phone and walked over to Lucifer.
"How do you know he'll say yes?" Ryan asked curiously.
"The resources of the island area are very limited and the population is small. This time, milk sells you this face, which is beneficial to the future safety of their island area. Lucifer analyzed, "The island area must have comrades-in-arms, otherwise it will be easily invaded by powerful countries." β
"Why didn't Milk choose Neo? The power of Yi District is obviously superior. Ryan asked.
Lucifer sighed, the seven heads are all smart, except for Ryan, who has well-developed limbs and a simple mind. However, getting along with Ryan is not afraid of being calculated, and it is quite reassuring and down-to-earth.
"Yi District is very strong, and its comprehensive strength ranks first among the seven districts. In cooperation with Yi District, the island area is undoubtedly at a disadvantage. Lucifer said with a smile.
"Are you laughing at our lack of status in the martial arts area, so it's easy to bully?" Ryan's mood immediately turned bad. "Is the strength of our martial arts region underestimated?"
"Ryan, this is the reality you have to face." Lucifer said calmly, "You are not stronger than the Yi District, you are not stronger than the Dynasty, you are not stronger than the Fog District, you are not stronger than the Fog District, and you are not stronger than the Naval Combat Strength, you are not as strong as the Island District......"
"Our martial arts district is really degraded to worthlessness by you." Ryan smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Now your martial arts district is facing an opportunity." Lucifer said with a smile, "Once you seize the opportunity of this economic reconstruction, your overall strength will undoubtedly be significantly improved." I am still very optimistic about Xian Xian's idea, and her plan can be said to have mobilized the enthusiasm of the whole people in the Wu District. β
Ryan pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you think we can make it?" β
"All I can tell you is a 50% probability." Lucifer replied.
"If the martial arts district can really change greatly, I will agree to three conditions." Ryan said with a smile.
"Whatever she offers, you'll say yes?" Lucifer asked curiously.
"Of course, it's up to you to be the witness." Ryan said with a smile.
"What if she wants you to step down?" Lucifer asked with a smile.
"Is she really going to want me to step down?" Ryan was stunned, he had never thought of such ifs. He just felt that Xian Xian was different from King, and he wouldn't calculate him and the people of Wu District.
"Probably not, you have to find someone to fill in after you step down, it's very troublesome." Lucifer said with a smile.
"Then why are you asking such a thing to scare me?" Ryan looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
"I just want to see your anxious and scared face." "She may not want you to step down, but she may make you give up your revenge on humanity." β
Ryan frowned, "I'm surprised, why is King's sister on the side of humans?" β
Lucifer looked at Ryan speechlessly, and among the seven heads of state, Ryan was probably the only one who never doubted Ryan's true identity. I've always thought that Burn is King's own sister.
"And that human kid named Hu Xin, whose parents died because of canine people, why does he still help us rebuild the economy?" Ryan really couldn't figure it out, he didn't think that humanity would really be that great, and would lend a helping hand to his old enemy.
"Also, he seems to have a good understanding with King's sister, and there is a bit of a resemblance between his eyebrows." Ryan said after thinking about it.
Lucifer looked at Ryan in surprise, he didn't expect him to observe so closely. He couldn't help but wonder what Ryan's expression would be if he knew his true identity.
