Chapter 9: Subject

"This is indeed 179 Bay Avenue... Ibu, are you in the wrong place... ”

Standing at the door of a huge spare parts market, Nataya and Eevee carefully stared at the house number displayed on the electronic sign in their hands, as if it was indeed correct.

"Let's go in and ask!"

Ibrahimovic walked in front alone, Nataya followed, and Starck put his individual goggles on his left ear and placed them on top of his left eye.

Although this is already a relatively safe area of the Alliance, in such a crowded place, it is often more important to predict the possibility of anything happening than to take measures before the battle.

"Excuse me, do you know Bernie, Bernie Teuton."

When Eevee finally finds a fat administrator who isn't a robot, they make sure they're not mistaken.

"Bernie ... Are you also here to pay him back? That kid hasn't shown up for half a month... You go inside, you go through about two stalls, and there's a door on the right, and you can see a scrap parts recycling plant, and Bernie lives on the second floor of the recycling plant.

But don't get your hopes up, I guess he's so poor that his social security has been stopped for a year or two! ”

The fat administrator raised the wine bottle in his hand, and once again put his eyes back on the concert that was being played in front of him, Stark glanced at it, and it was Xinghai Mining's image spokesperson wearing an exaggerated red suit: Mika.

I don't know if he made Xinghai Mining popular, or Xinghai Mining's advertisements made him popular, and the ubiquitous advertising is undoubtedly one of the key factors contributing to Mika's popularity.

Eevee takes Stark and Nataya to the recycling plant that the fat administrator said, and she sees a scene that looks like an apocalyptic ruin.

The mechanical parts everywhere are still in line with the identity of this location, but the so-called second floor is actually just a temporary platform, and the top of the platform and the surrounding walls are all roofs and walls composed of various rags and old clothes.

This bizarre style and the splendid mansions that the three of them have seen since they landed on this planet are simply not like products on the same planet.

"Hey, I can see you, don't be afraid... Is Bernie here? We're looking for Bernie Teuton! ”

On Stark's tactical glasses, the infrared light behind the rag wall on the second floor clearly depicted a figure crouching and peeping outside, and he shouted towards the crack in the rag that revealed one eye.

"Let's go, he hasn't come back for half a month, and I don't have any money! If you're in a hurry, I can fix something for you to pay it back! ”

A boy who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old stood up the stairs on the second floor, with a dirty gray tank top and blue-black denim bibs, and various tools inserted in the side pockets of his bib pants, making the child look like a seasoned mechanical mechanic at all times.

"My name is Eevee, I'm Bernie's junior, and I'm from the Federal Central Armored Academy. This time I happened to be passing by Gertu, and I wanted to come to him to ask him about something...

If he's not here today, forget it, I'll leave you a star number, and you can contact me when he's back... ”

Before Ibu finished speaking, he felt that a few people seemed to be walking behind him. When they looked back, they found that about two dozen people with big shoulders and round waists had surrounded them.

"What do you want to do?"

Stark looked around left and right, although these people did not carry heavy firearms, but each of them had cold weapons hidden on them.

"Senior sister, it's better to come early than to come by chance, we really didn't expect that the poor ghost Bernie turned out to have relatives of the Central Star!

Half a month ago, that kid borrowed a lot of money from us and said that he wanted to buy goods, we have been doing business with him for five years, and I think this person is usually reliable, so I lent him it, but I didn't expect him to run away like this!

Now that you're here, then help him calculate the account, I only need the principal! ”

At the head was a man with a crooked face and long hair, wearing a tight leather jacket and a folding knife the length of a small arm hanging from his waist.

"I said, guys, are you a little bit of a face? What does it matter to us that he owes you money? I really don't believe you dare to touch us today."

Stark laughed when he heard this, these people who play private loans have already deducted nearly 50% of the interest from the beginning of giving the principal, and then when they find someone to repay the money, they will calculate 100% of the principal.

Basically, it's no different from blackmail, it's all played by gangsters or little people walking in the dark world.

Stark has seen a lot of such people, but they are just some cowards who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard.

"How much money did he borrow from you, it's worth your enthusiasm!"

Although Ibu knew that Starq and the CIA behind him were not afraid of these ruffians.

But the last contact with Bernie should be this group of people, if you want to get some news about Bernie, this is the only clue left.

"He took 1.7 million federal dollars in cash, saying that he had received the latest bid from Xinghai Mining, and that he would return the money to us after the bid was opened next month. But half a month ago, the other person disappeared, where will I find someone to repay the money next month? ”

He looked at Eevee with a crooked face and smiled

"Central Star Armor Academy, the three major academies, it turns out that this down-and-out ghost really has a few wealthy relatives, one million and seven million, and you still pay me back in installments?"

"What bid did Bernie take from Xinghai Mining? It costs so much money! ”

When Ibu and Nataya heard about Xinghai Mining, they couldn't help but be happy. This is really a nowhere to go, originally looking for Bernie to use the resources he has lived in the local area for many years to get close to Xinghai, but now it seems that the target is much closer.

The crooked face thought about it, and also showed a look of joy

"That's right, you are from the Central Star Armored Academy, I heard that some of your professors and doctors have nostrils that have grown to the sky, and they usually only receive orders from the federal military, and civilian development is basically a secondary development that is thrown out by the elimination of military technology.

If you come to help him take this order, the odds of success are quite good! If you're willing to pledge, I can postpone it until after the bid opening next month! ”

"Don't listen to them! Uncle Bernie had said that only half a hundred thousand federal coins would be enough for him to gather all the materials, so how could he borrow as much as 1.7 million from them!! ”

The boy, who had been standing on the second floor, jumped down the stairs and rushed to Ibu's side.

The boys, who had witnessed the whole passing by before and after, could already believe that the three men had not come to Uncle Bernie to ask for money or take advantage of the fire to rob them.

"Who are you? What is your name? ”

Nataya looked at the boy who smelled of engine oil.

"My name is Arnold, and I'm Master Bernie's apprentice and the only mechanic in this repair shop!"

The boy puffed up proudly.

"Arnold, do you know what this subject matter is?"

Eevee lifted his glasses, and a determined reflection flashed through the mirror.

"Clear, and Uncle Bernie has already bought all the materials he needs, and I have the drawings here!"

Hearing this, Eevee looked at the crooked face with a smirk.

"According to the original agreement, we will still be bound to the bid of Xinghai Mining. I'm the assistant dean of the Federal Armored Academy, and that blonde girl is the dean's assistant professor, and it's up to us to do it ourselves, and you can put ten thousand hearts"

He looked at the two girls with a crooked face and smiled

"Okay, come and scan the iris to make a guarantee, I'll wait for your good news!"

After handling all the formalities, the crooked face left with more than 20 big men.

Before leaving the door, the crooked-faced man in leather turned around and said a few words, which made Nataya even more convinced that Ibu's decision was completely correct.

"The list of Xinghai Mining Spiritual Power Research Institute is rare in a hundred years! If you win the bid this time, I will help you become the agent of Gertu in the future, and ensure that the money you earn is a hundred times higher than the salary of the academy! Come on, my God of Wealth! ”
