Chapter 810: The Eve of the Crisis (3)
Just as the battle on the front line was in full swing, the imperial capital in the rear was also turbulent, and countless conspiracies were quietly brewing in some hidden corners.
Imperial Capital, Seventh Planet.
This eco-planet is the most famous commercial shopping center in the entire Imperial Capital Province, and now almost all the top luxury brands in Xinghai have franchised stores here. It is also a gathering place for the top aristocratic and wealthy clubs of the empire.
Everything here exudes a strong atmosphere of wealth, luxury, and pleasure, and there is an endless stream of big people who come here every day to shop and have fun. As long as you have enough source crystals, you can buy any kind of luxury goods here, including many ancient brands that existed in the age of the earth! If you wish, you can even let the masters here customize a personalized luxury for you, just for you!
Of course, if you have a way, some prohibited items, the underground industry chain here can also give you advice and strive to get what you want! For example, some high-power weapons, special equipment, various high-level energy potions, and so on.
At this time, it is nightfall, and on the parking apron in front of the gate of the "Dream of Quiet Blue" leisure club in the 29th district, from time to time there are all kinds of luxury flying cars landing, and groups of well-dressed and bright men and women get down from it, and then are respectfully welcomed into the door of the club by well-trained waiters in high-end uniforms.
There were not many guests, but there were quite a few, and after nearly an hour of busy work, they finally coped with the rush of the passenger flow, and the young waiters were all relieved and were able to rest at the door. But even at this time, they still have to maintain a good appearance and image, and they must not affect the reputation of the club because of their inappropriate behavior.
"You know what? The Empire's armies are fighting the aliens on the front lines? A waiter saw that there were no guests coming for the time being, and whispered to his companion.
"Everyone understands this!" His companion said nonchalantly, "After so many days of fighting, it is said that those aliens have suffered heavy casualties, and they are even planning to withdraw their troops!" It may not be long before the Imperial High Command announces the date of His Majesty's triumph. ”
"That's right, however, there seems to be a saying that those aliens see that they can't do anything, and they already plan to concentrate all their chips and fight to the death!" The waiter said worriedly, "If this is true, maybe our army will suffer!" ”
"Ah Qi, you are really, the army of our Starlight Empire has not suffered a defeat in the Star Sea under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, and this time will be no exception! What are you worried about? His companion was somewhat unimpressed.
The waiter who called Ah Qi smiled and said in a low voice: "That's what I said, but before the last moment, some things can't be said for sure!" ”
"Maybe!" The companion said lazily, "But this is not a problem we should consider, compared to this, I am more concerned about how much this month's bonus is, for the sake of good business these days, maybe our beautiful proprietress and Countess Relia will be merciful and give us a few thousand more credits!" ”
"Hey! You unambitious guy, I usually teach you so hard......" Ah Qi had a hateful expression on his face.
The companion shrugged indifferently and turned his head away from making a sound.
Ah Qi sighed, and was about to say something more, when a light gray flying car landed briskly on the parking apron not far away, so he had to stop and go over with his companions to greet him.
The door slid open, revealing a white man in his thirties, with a square face and a burly build.
His eyes fell on the golden pattern decoration at the door of the clubhouse, and he was stunned for a while, before he came back to his senses and said to Ah Qi expressionlessly:
"Take me in! Remember to park my car in the underground garage over there. ”
Ah Qi was slightly stunned, and then said respectfully: "No problem, Your Excellency, everything is as you wish!" ”
As he spoke, he immediately motioned for his companion to come over and park, and then he led the man into the gate of the clubhouse.
In this kind of place, there are always some guests with a strong sense of privacy, or who have some unknown purpose and do not want to attract the attention of those who are interested, will make such a request. It's not his first day here, so he shouldn't be surprised.
After entering the clubhouse, a senior executive in an evening dress immediately greeted him. Without waiting for her to speak, the man said indifferently: "Take me to see Madame, I have an appointment!" ”
As he spoke, he handed over a purple card.
A flash of surprise flashed on the director's fair face, and he nodded and said, "Okay, sir, please come with me!" ”
Ah Qi looked at the other party's back, thoughtful.
……
In the depths of the clubhouse, in a luxuriously furnished secret room, under the soft orange light, the young and beautiful clubhouse owner was wearing a translucent red silk nightgown, leaning lazily on the wide sofa of dark shark cloud animal skin, and was elegantly flipping through the financial statements in his light head.
It seems that this month's income has increased a lot, which shows that the people below are still more attentive to their work. Of course, the main reason is, of course, that you have a good way to run your own business and run a family! In this way, a third-rate club whose business was originally sluggish or even on the verge of bankruptcy can be brought back to life, and it will flourish all the way and develop better and better! The Countess thought to herself.
This clubhouse is just one of her many businesses, which are now used by her not only to make money, but also to deal with things and businesses that are not humane. For example, the man who just came in was one of her most important clients!
After the man came in, his eyes turned on the other party's plump and seductive body, and a faint smile appeared on his tense face: "Venerable madam, I haven't seen you for many days, and your beauty still amazes me!" ”
"Hmmm! It turned out to be Mr. Zaluku's here! The Countess greeted warmly. He personally stepped forward to take his hand and gave him way to his place, and under the thin nightgown, the plump chest rubbed against his arm, intentionally or unintentionally.
The man named Zaluku was unmoved, and after sitting down on the sofa, without waiting for the Countess to pour him a wine, he spoke bluntly:
"Let's get down to business! I came here this time, I took a big risk, just to fulfill the last promise, after this order, maybe in the future, I will not come again! ”
The countess's beautiful face couldn't help but show a touch of astonishment, and the movements under her hand paused slightly, before she hesitated and asked:
"You...... Is it all true? Could it be that the situation has ......?"
Zaluku shook his head, didn't say anything, he fumbled in his arms for a while, took out a few space bracelets and put them on the crystal table in front of him, and said:
"Here are ten tons of TR-3 high-purity energy crystals, all of which have just left the factory, and they are specially supplied to the high-quality goods of the Imperial Praetorian Guard 'Kun Xuan' class battleships! In addition, there are 30 sets of 5-star 'Lilong' ability sets, 10 sets of 6-star 'Mengtan' level pocket light crossbows, and 30 sets of 5-level and 6-level genetic optimization reagents! The seventh-level potion is too tightly watched, and I can't get it for the time being! ”
"That's all I can bring out at the moment, but the wind has been tight lately, and those people don't dare to do it, so ......"
The Countess took a space bracelet, skillfully activated it with her spiritual power, took out a small and delicate lightsaber hilt from it, examined the delicate and elegant pale gold pattern on it, nodded and said:
"Yes, they're all good for the Imperial Praetorian Guard! General Zaluku, it is really a blessing to have your help for the great cause of the organization! ”
Zaluku didn't think much of her compliment, and said with a cold expression:
"Needless to say, polite words, I just want to get some extra money, I don't have the slightest interest in what kind of organization or business you have! I've already brought the goods, take the money, after we go out, none of us owe anyone! ”
"Money? Of course, yours is indispensable! The Countess smiled coquettishly and said, "But before that, how about introducing you to a personal acquaintance?" Maybe you can become friends! This may have unexpected benefits for your future career! ”
Zaluku stared at her suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”
The countess smiled slightly, and gently pressed a dark button on the back of the sofa, and in an instant, there was a slight noise behind the screen, and a brown-haired fat man with a bloated body and wearing the rank of first-class general walked out.
"Your Excellency, Major General, don't come unharmed!" He smiled.
"Admiral Andul?" Zaluku's face changed suddenly, and he subconsciously grabbed the hilt of the lightsaber in his arms.
The Countess took the first step, pointed a light crossbow at him, and said gently: "Your Excellency, don't be impatient, we don't have any malicious intentions, we just want to talk to you about cooperation!" ”
"You ......" Zaluku was shocked and angry, and his heart sank.
He finally understood that he had been dragged into a well-designed trap, and today's matter was just that the other party felt that the time was ripe, and he intended to quit, so he just wanted to see the dagger!
However, he was also a little curious in his heart, Admiral Andul, as the commander of the imperial capital garrison, was still standing after several dynasties and many bloody purges, and his ability to save his life was not trivial! Since the other party's organization can even recruit a powerful general like him, the energy of this organization, as well as their ambitions, seem to be ready to come out!
In the current situation, if you continue to resist, you can't be sure if the other party will be angry and angry, and you can directly kill your mouth.
Thinking of this, he finally calmed down and asked in a low voice:
"Your Excellency, what do you want to say? I'm just a small logistics director in the Praetorian Guard, and occasionally I can exchange some supplies for some pocket money, but I don't have much ambition and courage to play those games of raiding your family and exterminating your family! ”
"Raiding the family and exterminating the clan? Do you think so? ”
Andul sat down on the sofa with a smile, took out a golden cigar, sharpened it with a bright knife in a hurry, lit it, took a beautiful puff, and then said leisurely:
"Relative to this possibility, why don't you think about how much you can get in return if we succeed? You may add two more stars to the epaulettes of this major general! Your role will also become the logistics director of the entire Imperial Legion, not just the logistics director of a certain legion, as is the case now! ”
"Moreover, in the future, the empire will change the sky, and a hero like you will be able to share far more benefits than these, titles, wealth, women, as long as you want, we can provide it to you! What do you think? Such a prospect is worth your fight, right? ”
“…… That's a nice thing to say, but what chance do you have? Zaluku sneered slightly, "His Majesty the Emperor is now out on an expedition and has no time to take care of the country, so there is a chance for you to stir up the wind and rain, and when His Majesty's army returns, I think you can still stir up some Lang flowers?" ”
The Countess said faintly: "You don't have to worry about this, Your Majesty will never come back from this expedition!" The future of the imperial capital must be our world! ”
