Chapter Seventy-One: Bloody Harry (Part II)
Bloody Harry takes Elliott to his office.
The office was made in a classic Gothic style by Bloody Harry, with dark light and a bright red carpet beneath his feet, making Elliott feel like he was walking in a pool of blood. And the women in leather skirts and black lips also looked very weird. Elliot wouldn't want to stay in this place for a moment if he could, but for now, he could only sit here and silently endure the strange hobby of the bloody Harry.
Letting the women fetch two glasses of the bright red 'Bloody Mary', Harry pretended to take a sip of the wine glass, and squinted his eyes intoxicated, "Taste it, this is a drink that can only be enjoyed here." β
Elliott visibly hesitated as he lifted his glass, for the smell of blood from the glass of 'Bloody Mary' was undoubtedly too strong and real. He stole a glance at the women who brought the wine glasses, and found that there were conspicuous knife marks on their wrists, and his hands shook in fright.
"This damn madman! ο½β
Elliott cursed in his heart, carefully put down his glass, and said with a smile: "Mr. Harry, time is pressing, let's talk about our business." β
"Looks like you don't like ......" Harry said with the tip of his bright red tongue licking the blood off his lips and revealing a regretful expression, "Okay, let me guess. Is that idiot Arnold finally willing to let you kill that little angel of the Byron family? β
"Yes, he promised not to interfere." Elliott straightened his back nervously.
"But if it's just that little girl, why did you come to me? After killing Georgia last time, you vowed not to come to me again. β
Speaking of killing, Harry's eyes suddenly revealed the tyranny in his heart, which made Elliot, who was sitting across from him, feel as if he could be killed by this madman at any moment.
"No, no! I'm sorry for what I said last time, and I beg you to believe that this is definitely not what I meant. Elliott panicked and got up to explain.
"Shut up! ~" Harry angrily smashed the wine glass in his hand, pointed at Elliott's nose and roared wildly: "If you don't control the entire rare substance market, just by what you said last time, I would have unscrewed off your ugly head!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Harry's performance at the moment was extremely fierce, but hearing this, Elliott suddenly felt a little relieved.
Because he knows that Bloody Harry's mercenary organization is just a front, and he will not make a living by undertaking military missions like other mercenaries, nor will he escort the transport fleet like a small mercenary team. His real source of income is actually the freedmen who collect rare substances in the Ultra Nebula. He is like a gang boss of the old times, using the powerful force at his disposal to captivate a large number of freedmen, and then control the entire freedmen world.
In the Ultra Nebula Mine, Bloody Harry's lair, he is the Emperor of the Chaos Lands, and every team of freedfolk who haunt there must pay him a certain fee on a regular basis. And these funds have become the capital for him to continue to expand his force, so he needs Elliot to provide a source of income for those free people, and he also needs Elliot's huge connections in the northern star field.
"Mr. Harry......"
Stabilizing his nervousness, a sly look suddenly flashed in Elliot's narrow eyes, and he looked at Bloody Harry and said in an almost provocative tone: "I'm afraid you haven't realized until now, it's not only me who is facing challenges, but you are also facing a stranger's challenge. β
"Oh?"
Elliott's words made a cruel sneer appear on Bloody Harry's face, and he looked up at Elliott and said coldly, "Tell me about it." β
"My subordinate contacted you a few days ago and asked you about a rare material deal totaling nearly two thousand tons."
Bloody Harry's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this: "Are you accusing me?" β
"No, of course not. I trust your credibility, and I trust that your freedmen will not dare to disobey you to make a private deal with Martina. So that's the crux of the matter! ~" After a slight pause, Elliot slowed down his tone and said in a tone similar to a hint: "Where did that two thousand tons of rare matter come from?" And where did the man next to Martina get the goods? I think you're more eager than I am to know that. β
ββ¦β¦β
Savoring the meaning of Elliott's words, Bloody Harry's expression suddenly changed, and he began to understand what Elliott was talking about as a challenge.
"In the entire Northern Star Domain, only the mining area on the periphery of the Ultra Nebula can collect rare materials. There, no one can escape my eyes and steal the wealth that belongs to me. β
"Yes, I believe that, and I believe in your control over the Chaos Lands of the Ultra Nebula. Therefore, this rare substance that suddenly appeared in the Northern Star Domain was definitely not collected in the Ultra Nebula, but should have come from somewhere else. β
"Somewhere else?"
"For example...... Kuiper rings of the solar system. β
"......" Finally, Bloody Harry's color changed dramatically, and he stared at Elliott breathlessly, expecting something to be discovered in his expression.
And seeing Bloody Harry's excesses at the moment, Elliott's heart, which had been clenched, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had made the right bet, and the mob leader in front of him, who had a strange surname and controlled the entire Free People World in the Northern Star Domain, did have a special background that no one knew. Previously, it was just a guess that Elliot couldn't confirm, but now, he knew that his guess was right, and it was going to be a huge opportunity in front of him.
"Kuiper rings of the solar system?" Perhaps sensing his gaffe, Bloody Harry quickly hid the surprise on his face and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure where this batch of goods came from?" Is there really a rare substance there? β
"Yes, Mr. Harry." Elliot knew that it was time for a showdown, and hurriedly sat up straight and said, "Mr. Harry, I have also come into contact with a large number of free people, some of whom are stowaways from the Nine-Star Republic. Therefore, I know that there is a large amount of rare matter hidden in the Kuiper ring of the Nine Star Republic, which is a huge treasure no less than the Ultra Nebula, and the collection conditions are far safer than that of the Ultra Nebula. You...... Don't you know that? β
ββ¦β¦β
Elliott's suggestive words made Bloody Harry's expression freeze suddenly, and at this moment, Bloody Harry even wanted to kill Elliott's ** immediately after his secret was discovered. But soon, this mouth-destroying ** was forcibly suppressed by Bloody Harry, and the rich murderous aura that erupted in that moment also dissipated.
"Yes, I know that. And not only do I know this, but some nobler people have learned it from me. β
"A nobler one?" Elliott keenly grasped the word.
"Yes." Bloody Harry smiled faintly and looked in the direction of Othello.
"Yes......"
Thinking of the name implied in Bloody Harry's gaze, Elliott's expression flashed with ecstasy after shock. Because he never imagined that behind the bloody Harry was actually the actual ruler of the entire Proxima Centauri, the Osvid family.
In fact, he didn't expect that the reason why the Raymond Federation would launch two consecutive foreign wars against the Nine-Star Republic was entirely because of the piece of information that Bloody Harry provided to the Osvid family.
As a wealthy member of the Federation, although the Osvid family has a huge amount of power, due to the distance from the Alpha Capital Area, the Osvid family has never been able to set foot in the real political core of the Federation. Therefore, a long time ago, Osvid II gave up the idea of setting foot in the capital area, and began to use Proxima Centauri as a stronghold, secretly building Othello into a private domain belonging to the Osvid family. And Harry the Blood, who was born in the Knights of the Twin Stars, is an underground force secretly kept in captivity by Osvid II for this purpose.
With the covert support of the Osvid family, the bloody mercenaries led by Harry grew rapidly at an almost expansive rate. In the process, Harry the Bloody became a blade hidden in the shadows for the Osvid family, successfully eliminating all political enemies from the Alpha Capital for the Osvid family, and helping the Othellod family to completely establish Othello as a private domain. And Bloody Harry, with the tacit consent of the Osvid family, took advantage of Dawson's opportunity to open the northern star field and conquered the entire free people world in one fell swoop.
It was after conquering the entire Free People world that Bloody Harry discovered that a large number of stowaways from the Republic would arrive in the Northern Star Domain every year, and through the interrogation of these Republic stowaways, the Ausvid family hidden behind the Bloody Harry began to gradually grasp some of the information of the Nine-Star Republic, and was keenly aware of the great value of the Kuiper Ring.
Thus, Ausveld II's ambitions swelled again. The scheming man hopes to take advantage of the domestic contempt for the solar system to take the solar system, the birthplace of mankind, in one fell swoop, and try to make it the back garden of the Osvid family, so that the Osvid family can further occupy the solar system after owning the pedal of Othello, and have the possibility of establishing a country. Therefore, when proposing the first expedition to the solar system, Ausvid II almost single-handedly formed an expeditionary force, despite the suppression of other families in the country.
An expedition to a thriving country with a ragtag army did seem risky at the time. But according to Osvid II's calculations, this fleet, which is almost equivalent to the private army of the Osvid family, should be enough to win the current stage of the Nine-Star Republic. Therefore, in order to hide his true intentions, Ausvid II did not apply too much to the parliament for military spending and mobilize a large number of regular troops.
However, the outcome of the war was very different from his calculations. He never imagined that his well-conceived plan would be utterly defeated by a trivial infantryman, and that the wonderful prospect he had conceived would be shattered in an instant. After this defeat, the Osveld family not only failed to obtain a territory with amazing potential, but was unanimously questioned by the people in the country, and even directly questioned the Osvid family's non-boiled rule over Othello.
This defeat made Osvid II ill, and Ansel, the first in line to the throne of the Osvid family, quickly took over the family and began to formulate a new course of development for Osvid.
Unlike Ausvid II, who had grand ambitions, the young Ansère did not expect to create an empire for the Ausvids. And after the failure of the first expedition, the strength of the Osvid family suffered an unimaginable heavy blow, so on this basis, self-preservation became the first thing to consider for Ansel.
The change in the development policy of the Osvid family has also made the bloody Harry no longer so important to the Osvid family, and his position in the Proxima Centauri field has begun to become delicate. Even, Bloody Harry began to feel that Ansel, who became the new generation of power holders of the Osvid family, had already had the idea of getting rid of himself after various forces entered Othello. Therefore, after being revealed by Elliot, Bloody Harry did not impulsively choose to kill Elliott, but planned to continue to cooperate with Elliott and use Elliott's funds to further expand the Bloody Mercenaries until they could break away from the control of the Osvid family.
Elliott naturally wouldn't know about the inside story between Bloody Harry and the Ausvid family. Therefore, he didn't know that he was actually looking for a tumor that was ready to be cut off by the Osvid family, and now he even naively thought that he could use the Bloody Harry line to catch up with the Osvid family, so as to solve Martina's henchman's big trouble.
Elliott lost his usual calm because of his wonderful vision of the future, and he had taken the Osvid family as his refuge, revealing all his speculations about Robin's source of goods, and guessing that Robin might come from a large family rooted in the capital area, trying to carve up the big cake of the Northern Star Field.
Elliott's performance at this moment is no less than a clown in the eyes of Bloody Harry, and he quietly waits for Elliott to propose to him the attempt to kill Robin and Martina halfway, and asks Elliott for a sky-high price that can almost bankrupt Elliott.
In other words, Elliott would never have accepted such a price. But now, after confirming that Bloody Harry is part of the Osvid family, Elliott naively regards this as a vote to join the Osvid family, so he gritted his teeth and agreed to Bloody Harry's financial request, and paid a large deposit on the spot.
Confirming that the funds had arrived, Bloody Harry called his right-hand man in front of Elliott and dispatched an armed landing ship and a combat formation of eight space shuttles on the space station to ambush the arriving TR-735......
