CHAPTER 40

The dim candle flame reflected everyone's face, and together with this ancient Italian building, the atmosphere of the scene instantly became solemn. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When everyone was seated, the waiter standing at the door brought us a simultaneous translation machine. The waiter helped everyone present adjust the frequency band, then turned to leave, and closed the door of the stone chamber with his hand.

After a few minutes of silence, it was Duke Edward who broke the silence first. He first raised his glass and suggested that everyone toast to today's gathering, and his proposal immediately won the unanimous approval of everyone present. After we had finished clinking glasses and drinking the contents of the glasses, the Duke of Edward turned to look at me with a smile and said, "Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to see you in Paris." I wanted to invite you to Europe a long time ago, and I would like to take this opportunity to invite you once again to visit London as well. There are not many people like you who are both energetic and full of wisdom now, and the world of the future belongs to young people like you. It is truly a lifetime of privilege to meet such a talented young man of your age as I am. ”

The simultaneous translator mechanically translated every sentence of Sir Edward, and Strovsky, who was sitting on the side, saw Sir Edward's words pause for a moment, and took over the conversation with a smile while playing with the whiskey in his hand, and looked at me with a friendly look and said, "Yes, Mr. Chen." We've heard a lot about you from Old Frost, and as a peer, I appreciate the talent and talent you show personally. Of course, it is also my pleasure to meet you on such an occasion, and I hope that we will be good brothers from now on. ”

"In fact, I haven't made any contribution to the world economy, maybe it's just that I have unique research ideas and talents in the field of drones. Now the reason why I was able to make the drone what you see it is also completely coincidental. Therefore, if I interpret my success as good luck and God's gift, I am sure that all of you here will not object. Hearing the words of praise from both of them coming out of the simultaneous translator, I replied with a smile.

"Your OTWC company broke into the world drone market in less than a year and quickly led the development trend of the drone market all over the world. OTWC has now become one of the world's most synonymous with the development of foreign technology, so it is appropriate to praise you with these words now. Old Frost laughed when he saw me justifying myself with such ridiculous words.

"Regardless of the role that the OTWC will play in the development of foreign technology, we still have to rely on your support and help in the external global economy. Okay, let's not talk in front of the Akito, you guys didn't invite me here today just to make it feel like me to eat a French steak in this ancient religious interrogation room. If there's anything you can bring up now, we can talk about it first, and then eat the steak. Finally, take your time to taste the fine wines of the French cellars. At this point, I put down the knife and fork in my hand, and then put my hands on my chest, and looked at everyone present with a smile.

Hearing that I had already spoken thoroughly, Hughes, who had been expressionless since the beginning, had a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying. I saw that his face was warm at first, and then he used a knife to cut a large piece of steak directly from the middle, and then used a knife to fork one of the pieces and put it in his mouth. Then I saw his cheeks squirming hard, and it took about three or four minutes for him to fully swallow the food in his mouth.

After taking a big sip of wine and feeling completely relaxed, he said to me in a rough voice: "Since Mr. Chen is so refreshing and reasonable, then we will no longer beat around the corner." First of all, allow me to introduce you to all of you who are here, and what you see right now is that the five of us belong to an organization called the Dark Pact. For hundreds of years, this organization has been in control of the direction of the global economy, and in layman's terms, the family represented by a few of us controls the circulation and preservation of the world's major currencies. Our family business has always represented the latest trends in global technology and has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. However, your presence has caused us to suddenly realize that the advanced field we represent and the products you have developed have suddenly opened a long distance, which has alarmed the main members of our family. We don't know if you are the Edison of today's world, but we know that what we urgently need now is to have a comprehensive cooperation with the OTWC company you represent, and we hope that this comprehensive cooperation will be long-term and mutually trusting. In return, of course, we will accept you as the sixth member of the Dark Pact, and henceforth enjoy the honor of the Dark Pact organization around the world. ”

"If you agree to carry out comprehensive technical cooperation with us, then the financial support needed for the future development of OTWC will also be solved by us." After hearing Hughes's words, Abrad, who was sitting on the side, added casually while splitting the steak on the plate with a knife and fork.

"You're threatening me? Or do you think OTWC wouldn't be able to survive without your support? After thinking about it, I looked at Hughes at the table in a cold tone and said slowly.

I thought to myself, no matter what kind of contract organization you are, how powerful it will be, and no matter how much of the family industry behind you will account for the global economic and financial market. Anyway, with Julie behind me, I'm afraid you won't make it.

"Absolutely not, I think there's one thing you're probably interested in. Those are the two outer spaceships owned by the Dark Pact, which are real UFOs. We, the patriarch of the Orray family, have asked me to tell you that if you are willing to share the results of the OTWC research with us, then we will also share those two ships with you. Of course, these ships are not legends, they are real in our hands. So far, there are no more than ten people in the world who know about the existence of the ship, so I hope you will think about it carefully. Seeing that I didn't want to buy his account, Hughes raised his tone and argued in a hurry.

"Spaceship? Alien spaceships? You're not kidding. I've only seen these things in science fiction and movies and TV shows in the past, are you going to use it to deceive me in front of God now? Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Or can I consider this just a **naked insult and provocation? "Although deep down I was already excited about this unexpected gain when Hughes said that the ship was in their hands. But in order not to show my true thoughts on my face as much as possible, I immediately slapped the table hard, and then stood up and pointed at his nose and scolded loudly.

"What do you want, I'll bully you." Hughes quickly stood up as he spoke. Then, without knowing it, he quickly pulled out a desert eagle from there, opened the safety and pointed the muzzle of the gun directly at my eyebrows.

"If you have the ability, you will shoot and deceive me with the story of coaxing children. Do you think I'm just fooling around like that? You think I'm here to tease me? You are still a representative of a country's financial consortium. We sell real airplanes, not children's toys as you would call them. As I spoke, I looked at him with cold eyes.

"Hughes, put down your gun. Mr. Chen is my guest here, and in any case, you have to give me the respect I deserve as a host. Frost looked at Hughes with a gun pointed at me, and sat there with an unchanged face and whispered.

"Anyway, Frost, don't worry about it today. I see that this kid eats hard rather than soft, and I'm going to bring this kid back today, and I promise he'll tell everything when he's there. I'm going to get rid of his leg right now and give him some color, this damn yellow-haired dog. As soon as Hughes finished speaking, he turned the muzzle of the gun, and the muzzle of the gun pulled the trigger on my left thigh.

Looking at this sudden change, I had no preparation in advance, and my heart suddenly became extremely cold, and then I heard the sound of gunshots. But soon I felt as if there was nothing wrong with me, and on the contrary, it was strange that Hughes, who had been flying and domineering just a moment ago, fell straight to the floor in front of me. Blood and shredded flesh had blurred the right side of his face, his outstretched arm twisted and slumped on the floor, and his right hand was still tightly gripping the silvery-white large-caliber desert eagle. The trigger of the gun had been pressed tightly to the innermost point by his index finger, and the trigger could still be clearly seen by his index finger. The only remaining eye was filled with disbelief and deep fear, while the other half of his face had been completely torn off by the Desert Eagle's large-caliber bullet. Blood, brains, and charred flesh stained his skull and the floor around him, disgusting.

"I'm so sorry for Hughes's collision, but now he can accept this punishment to make up for his recklessness. This kid has been spoiled by me since he was a child. doesn't know the rules and is self-willed, maybe now this is the best ending for him. Accompanied by a fluent Chinese mouth, several golden large-caliber pistol bullets fell from the hands of the man in black next to the stone slab where Hughes was lying, making a crisp sound.

"You are? What's going on? Why are you eavesdropping on our conversation in that stone chamber next door? Who are you? Frost, what the hell is going on? I asked in surprise as I looked at the old man who suddenly appeared in front of me from behind the dark stone door.

The man in black didn't answer my question right away, he just sat down slowly from where Hughes had been sitting, and then pressed a button on the edge of the table with his hand.

Soon a stone door opened on a stone wall behind us, and the four big men who quickly flashed in stood respectfully in front of the man in black. The man in black didn't say anything to them, just pointed with his hand at Hughes's corpse on the floor.

The four people who knew what the master meant immediately began to be busy, only to see those who carried the corpse and wiped the bloodstains. No one asked why, and within five minutes everything fell into calm again with the departure of the big men and the closing of the stone door.

"My name is Pierre, and I am the adoptive father of Ole Hughes. I apologize to you for what happened, the ships are real, and I can let you visit them at any time if you want to see them. You will see what a miraculous existence it is, and they are really wonderful. As if nothing had happened at all, Pierre waited for the door to close again and then sat there describing the two ships to me.

"You're the giant of the global software and arms industry? Oh my God, how could it be you. I used to see you on TV, how could it be you. No wonder I felt familiar when I saw you just now, it turned out to be you, Auré Pierre, the richest man in the world. I said with a tone of extreme surprise.

"It seems that Mr. Chen Xinyao is still a fan of mine, which makes me so proud." Pierre said a little smug when he saw that I was surprised to see him.

"A minute ago, I was a big fan of yours, and it was your grandfather's company that put technology on the fast track. We have a global network and freedom of communication, which has completely changed the way the world should be, and has accelerated the pace of human development. But now, I don't have a good impression of you and your family. Hughes was a little impulsive, he pointed his gun at me, and he pulled the trigger. But he's just going to take one of my legs, and you're going to kill him. You brutally shot him in the head, even though you had taken the bullets from his gun beforehand, but you still shot his head. In such a holy place, I really can't think of any reason for a father to shoot his adopted son's head with a gun without hesitation. Your actions have frightened and deeply disturbed me, and I don't know what reason I could have persuaded myself to continue talking with you about our cooperation? Thinking back to the scene just now, I couldn't help but scream at Pierre.

"Mr. Chen, what happened just now was too sudden. Originally, Monsieur Pierre had only wanted to train his son to attend the meeting in his place, but Hughes's violent temper had not changed. You also saw it, if it weren't for Pierre's bodyguard who was hiding in the shadows just now. You wouldn't be standing here like this. You are our most valued guest, and from that point of view, we want to make sure you are unharmed. Seeing that I was emotional, old Frost quickly looked at me and explained.

"If one of my legs can be exchanged for a person's life, then I would rather break my leg than blow his head. What is the difference between you and those fascists, and those dictators. Your reputation in front of the camera is so high, but I didn't expect that the first time I saw you, you gave me the impression that you would be such a cold-blooded butcher, your heart is the incarnation of a demon, otherwise you wouldn't have killed a living life so easily just now. I looked at Pierre, who was sitting on the side, with fierce eyes, and said aloud, still a little emotional.

It was the first time I had ever seen someone killed, and the first time I had seen someone die because of me, and they died at my feet, brains and blood splattered all over the ground. I feel like my emotions are really out of control at the moment, and I can't help myself.

Looking at my still angry expression and indelible anger, Pierre frowned, thought for a moment before looking up and said to me with a serious expression: "Dear Chen, you are right. I was too reckless just now, it was my fault. I was mad at Hughes's utter stupidity, and I shouldn't have hurt his life. For God's sake, let all the sins pass for a while, and don't be angry, I will now formally apologize to you for my reckless behavior, and apologize like all of you here. With that, Pierre stood up and bowed to me and the other four people in the room.

"Now that Pierre has apologized to everyone, in the words of you Chinese, 'people cannot be resurrected after death'. Dear Chen, see if this matter can be put aside for the time being, you can forgive the reckless Pierre for once, give him a chance, I don't think he will do that again in the future. Seeing Pierre apologizing to everyone, Sir Edward, who was sitting on the side, looked at me with an inquiring look and said.

"Alright then, I hope you can bury him well, and promise not to do such a cold-blooded thing in the future, otherwise our cooperation will end here. I'm not going to do business with a cold noodle butcher, it's a shame on me. Still unable to dissipate the anger in my heart, I continued to speak loudly.

"Well, I promise it won't happen again. Face God, I swear. When he heard my words, Pierre drew a cross on his chest, and then looked reverently at the statue on the wall.

"Since you have given me enough face, I am not the one who wants to gain face. I am willing to cooperate with you on drone technology, and of course, I can also cooperate with you on future OTWC research and development projects. But I have two preconditions, and if you can do it, then our cooperation will be long-lasting. ”

"Tell me about your conditions, and we will definitely meet you if we can promise you. Anyway, I pretty much admired your temper just now. I'm a nice guy, I didn't think your personality was so similar to mine. Seeing that I no longer blamed him, Pierre asked in a gentle tone after a long sigh of relief from the corner of his mouth.
