In the face of the sudden change, Duck kept a polite smile: "Oh, can you tell me why?"

Bolmer is crisp and neat: "Red Coral wants to be rich, and it doesn't want to get into trouble for no reason." Your strength is unfathomable, and the value of self-heating bento is immeasurable, but we can't assess the risks that come with working with you – we are just merchants, at best businessmen with a little money. ”

Darker secretly screamed.

This is really self-defeating!

It's obvious, you can eat all the way, raise your hand and pull a fleet, stomp your foot and an ambassador will appear, if you are in a bad mood one day, smack your lips, will the red coral be gone?

Duck was considering the wording, but Hickstu smiled and said, "I have something to do this time, I don't know who the head of the Red Coral family is now, Mr. Valentin or Mr. Bolmer?"

Valentine said: "It's me, but the business is all taken care of by Bolmer, talk about business, you'd better ......"

"The Holy See is rich all over the world, and for the time being, there is no need for red coral, it is a matter of the individual. Mr. Valentine, can we find a place to talk in secret?"

Valentan was a little strange, he had nothing to do with the Cult of Light, how could a Holy Envoy of the Cult of Illumination find him? But since they had said it, he had no choice but to agree, so he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

As he passed by Duck, Hickstu glanced at Duck, but Duck didn't understand what it meant.

Seeing Valentan and Hikstu leaving, Bolmer also said to Dark, "So, when the banquet is over, let's go and visit the Red Coral Headquarters together, and I'll send you back to the Merchant House, how about it?"

Duck smiled, "I still want to make another effort, because businessmen are chasing profits, as long as the interests are big enough, they can do it-"

Georgina intercepted: "But we can't put our lives in it for money, Dad has made it very clear, please go back - what is that?"

Duck slapped a piece of paper on the table: "The information of the North Sea Troll, it appears southeast of Jacque, it has the ability to destroy floating islands. ”

"You're alarmist!"

"Wait a minute," said Bolmer, "Mr. Duck, I think we should have a good talk about it too. Please. ”

"Please. ”

Hickstu and Valentine arrive in a small conference room, surrounded by double curtains and with a large red coral logo on the front wall.

"Ah, Red Coral, Jacque's largest investment company—well, perhaps the largest investment company in the mainland, Mr. Valentine, with his discerning eyes and extraordinary courage, single-handedly worked hard to create such a large family business, which is really admirable. ”

"Holy Envoy, please speak directly if you have anything to say. ”

Hikstu didn't rush to speak, but stood in front of the red coral sign with his hands behind his back, looking at the sign in distraction.

"What's wrong with the Chamber of Commerce's logo?"

"No, I just think that adding a fan to the outside of the coral branch as a background would be a brain?"

Valentine was secretly frightened: "Holy Envoy, please don't talk nonsense. ”

"You must have heard of Alexia, the widow of Mr. Nicholas, one of the Three Sages of Alchemy, how could I have come all the way here without her advice?"

"What the hell are you trying to say!"

Hikstu was silent for a moment, then said, "Let me start at the beginning." The Three Sages of Alchemy, Nicholas, Rodriguez and West, who had been close partners in their youth, and who were often engaged in deviant research, chose a small island in the sea outside Port Snell as a secret laboratory in order to ensure that they were not disturbed by the world. ”

"What does this have to do with red coral!"

"Absolutely. It costs a lot of money to hollow out an island, and I want to ask, where do they get their money?"

Valentine stared at Hickstu, trying to find clues in his face, but he failed, and the young man's face was neither smug nor frustrated.

Hickstu continued: "It was your investment that gave life to that island. However, the later you go, the more wary you become of the terrible alchemy, and finally, you resolutely stop funding the Three Sages. Having lost their main source of income, the Three Sages began to quarrel, and when selling their technology could not get enough money, the Three Sages parted ways, and Alcatraz sank to the bottom of the sea. Until two years ago, a group of veterans for the sake of pension and honor reoccupied it. ”

"I'm sorry about that, but I don't regret it. ”

"Of course, if you continue to invest, you may be like Rodriguez in the Drake Chamber of Commerce. Now, Rodriguez is dead, Nicholas has been killed by the hypocrites of the Cult of the Illuminati, and West has escaped from the kingdom of Doland, and his whereabouts are unknown - three fools, like you, who got out early and exchanged a little bit of the skills of the three sages for more possessions, Red Coral is known as Jacque. ”

"You're threatening me?"

Hickstu said, "It's just a reminder that the nightmare that let you escape in the first place has reappeared." ”

Valentine's facial muscles twitched a few times.

"I'll be blunt, the hypocrites of the Cult of the Illuminati have their hands on Mr. Nicholas's unfinished work, and now they're busy copying and continuing to develop those horrible technologies. ”

"Oh no!"

"You think you can get rid of those terrible nightmares by hiding on a floating island in the snow? ”

Like a flash of lightning, Valentin snapped into the complete, bloody, fresh human brain, the last experiment of the Three Sages he had ever seen.

The brutal study of the extermination of humanity finally awakened his conscience, which had been obscured by money, and from then on, he began to cut back on his investments until it was completely terminated. But, after countless midnight dreams, the blood-drenched brain still weighed heavily on his chest, leaving him breathless.

Hickstu pointed lightly at his head: "Lady Alexia is a master of mind magic, and she has looked at the research materials of the hypocrites I have ventured to obtain, and concluded that they are trying to improve the unfinished experiments of the three sages, which are related to the human mind, and once they are completed, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Please tell me what role you intend to play and what role you want me to play. ”

"The Savior, and the visionary businessman who follows the Savior. ”

"It's a big gamble. Well, your first command is-"

"Dark. Duck and those behind him are allies. Letting them rush to the front is the right choice. Please invest in Dak's project. ”

"If it's just a boxed lunch, there's nothing wrong with that. ”

"How can a hero just stare at a boxed lunch? They want to buy a small island and turn it into a strong position. Mr. Valentine, this is a very important matter, and I ask for your support!"

Valentine smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I didn't notice it for a while, alas, forget it, just take it as atonement for the mistakes of the year!"
