169 There is no evil in the world
Chen Xiansong listened, just listened, he was very calm. As a child who was pampered by the new human in the 22nd century, he is kind and naΓ―ve, which is a very good quality, but in this world, if such a quality is too much, it will become a burden. Not only may you harm yourself, but you may also harm your relatives and friends.
Chen Xiansong understands this, so he is trying his best to change. If he had just come out of the surface of the earth, he might have been anxious and frightened when he heard this, but now he could sit very calmly and just smile easily: "Your Excellency really likes to joke, I am a person who does not easily make enemies with others, then someone will want to harm me." In addition......" Chen Xiansong looked at him, suddenly changed his words, and said, "This is my second time in Emperor Fall City...... It's also the first time I've met you, and you've already told me my name, and I'm sorry I don't know your name. β
"You came here without asking my name?" The middle-aged man seemed surprised, he was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "It's really interesting, you're very interesting." My name is Riccardo and I am the current patriarch of the Izesen family. The underground black market is my grandfather's legacy property, and of course the association also has a considerable say in it. β
Chen Xiansong smiled: "This is a good place. β
"It's a good place indeed, and I think so too, and I'll take your word for it." Riccardo smiled and continued: "Sitting in this position, what we pay the most attention to is intelligence, what happened in the royal city, what happened to the association, we all have to know, although the underground black market claims to dare to trade anything, but in fact, there are some things that are too sensitive, and we really don't dare to let it flow into the association." β
His eyebrows raised slightly, and Chen Xiansong asked, "Isn't the dragon clan still sensitive?" β
As if he had guessed that Chen Xiansong would ask this question, Riccardo just chuckled: "Maybe sensitive." Or maybe not sensitive. The dragon clan is indeed very powerful, but the dragon clan rarely appears before our world, whether buying and selling the dragon clan will cause trouble, you have to try it to know the way, Your Excellency, you say yes. β
Chen Xiansong tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and after a while he asked, "How much tax did you take from my business?" β
"Not too much." Riccardo leaned back and leaned back in his chair: "The association helped you pay three thousand gold coins, which cannot be counted in the transaction amount, our sharp gold is one hundred draws." In addition, we had to give one to the association, so our family only got about a hundred gold coins, which is not much. β
Chen Xiansong froze as he banged on the table...... He alone contributed a hundred gold coins to the other party in one day, and with so many customers in the underground black market, the transaction volume was definitely not low. Just give a rough estimate of the turnover here. Income per day. Probably in terms of '10,000'.
From childhood to adulthood, Chen Xiansong has no worries about food and clothing, and he doesn't have a big concept of money, but he is not stupid, this money accumulates over time, after a certain period of time. For the national level, how much impact there will be, he knows very well.
"It seems that your family is already rich enough to rival the country." Chen Xiansong sighed.
Riccardo laughed again. There was no denial, no admit, but judging from his smug expression, Chen Xiansong should not have guessed wrong.
Chen Xiansong has heard such a saying: A huge amount of money will make people's desires swell, and at the end of the day, it will make people do crazy things. Now that he finally knows what he is doing, he always feels that the other party has a mean smell when he looks at Ricciardo. Riccardo has too much money, maybe even richer than the entire royal family, so the other party feels inferior to himself when he sees anything, and he even thinks that the whole country may belong to him, and he may even think that he has money and can buy anything.
Riccardo saw that Chen Xiansong was pondering, thinking that he was frightened by his wealth, and he was very complacent. A few days ago, he had read Chen Xiansong's detailed report and felt that this was a talent, but he was still young, and when he matured and grew a few years older, it would not be too late to win him over.
This time, Ricarl saw Chen Xiansong because he had something else to do: "Let's talk about this, Your Excellency, what I said just now is not a joke, I did receive a very important news for you." For the sake of you're a new member, it doesn't hurt to give it to you for free. β
There is a bit of charity in it. Chen Xiansong didn't care, he said: "Your Excellency, there are no rules, there is no circle, forget about the free matter, you can come as you want." β
Riccardo looked at it with a smile, and his expression was very strange: "Well, since Your Excellency said so, I will follow the rules." This news is important, at least I think, so you have to pay for it. β
"Please."
Riccardo looked at Bai Min, his eyes fell on her ear, and said, "I heard that Your Excellency has obtained an ancient relic, it is very beautiful, it must be the thing that Lady Bai Min is wearing now. I want to use this news in exchange for this heart-warming treasure, I wonder if Your Excellency Lu Dao can cut love. β
In Chen Xiansong's eyes, human life is more important than external objects. However, as soon as he turned around, when he saw Bai Min with no expression on his face, he was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and sighed lightly: "Your Excellency, this is a bit difficult, can you change to other conditions, such as gold coins and the like." β
"Do you think I'm going to be like a man who is short of money?" Riccardo asked rhetorically.
It's really not like running such an underground black market, and money is really just a number for Ricarto. Chen Xiansong also felt that he was abrupt, he rarely talked to this kind of person, so he had to think for a while and said, "Then use some other things, such as techniques or something." β
"Technique?" Riccardo pondered the word for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I have a lot of knowledge and restructures in my conception, and I don't have much time to realize them one by one, so forget it." Your Excellency, if not, how about I add some more money, 20,000 gold coins? β
Chen Xiansong shook his head, not that he didn't want to, but that Bai Min liked that thing very much, and he didn't want to take it away again and let Xiao Min down.
"Thirty thousand." Riccardo looked at him with a smile.
"Fifty thousand." Riccardo's expression froze.
Chen Xiansong still shook his head.
"Seventy thousand." Riccardo's expression turned cold.
At this time, Chen Xiansong stood up: "Your Excellency, I remembered, I still have some things to leave first." β
After saying this, he left directly, and Bai Min and the little guy followed, leaving Riccardo alone in the room.
As if not expecting such an outcome, Riccardo was stunned for a moment, then reacted and slapped the table with a heavy slap, and the quills on it were all knocked to the ground. After taking a few breaths, he rang the golden bell on the table, and within a few seconds, a black-robed man came in from outside the door.
"Go and inform Skoll that when you act at night, you will create a little accident and kill Chen Xiansong in that hotel." Riccardo thought for a moment and continued: "By the way, clean up that old man too, I quietly killed his student, he will definitely be in a hurry with me in the future, it is troublesome to stay, and I will also clean it up." β
The black-robed man bent over and said, "Master, there is a Sun God Servant behind him, and we are not opponents. β
Riccardo took out a bronze key from the drawer and threw it into the hands of the black-robed man: "Find the warehouse, give the seven crystal city-breaking crossbows to Skoll, and tell him that the jewelry on the ears of the Sun God Servant must be kept, such a treasure, since I have seen it, it cannot be left to others." β
The black-robed man took the order and left.
Not long after, another black-robed man walked in outside, his steps were hurried, and as soon as he entered the room, he closed the door directly, and then removed his mask, revealing a childish young face.
"Father!" The young man propped his hands heavily on the desk: "I heard that you are going to deal with Chen Xiansong, there is a Sun God servant by his side, at such a critical moment tonight, there is one more thing to do, in case ......"
"Don't worry, kid." Riccardo's expression softened, and the caustic taste disappeared without a trace: "I am completely sure that I will do this, even if they can't kill Chen Xiansong, it will not have any impact on our plans." As long as you continue to hide your identity until your father takes control of the association and sits on the throne, then you can show your identity in the amazement, admiration, and envy of everyone. β
"But does this have anything to do with you trying to kill Chen Xiansong?"
"You should know that I have more than ten lovers, and I have thirteen sons and nine daughters." Riccardo smiled: "Of all these children, you are the only one who has inherited the gift of a soul-contemplative. There are many peers who have worked as hard as I have to have offspring, but few have succeeded, and I was lucky enough to give birth to you. β
"However, I found a peculiar reality." Riccardo's expression became serious: "Our president, Artemis, her grandmother is a soul thinker, her mother is also a soul thinker, she is too, and they all have one thing in common, they are both blonde women with golden eyes. β
"Isn't President Artemis an orphan?" The boy's face was strange.
"Hey, so our elders are very hidden, think about it, an orphan, no matter how talented he is, why should he be our president." Riccardo smiled, "She has a lot of power behind her, and I highly suspect that she has a special bloodline in her family that can pass on the traits of a soul thinker." β
"But what does this have to do with Chen Xiansong."
"When we succeed, I won't kill her." Riccardo smiled: "I will let the president be your wife, and you will also be the one who will hold power in the future." For this, an earth-shattering proposal is indispensable. Such a precious gift can only be left in our home, and only your future wife can have it. β
The boy had seen Artemis, and his face was a little red and a little excited.
Riccardo rubbed his hands: "I originally wanted to buy it, it doesn't matter how much it is, but Chen Xiansong doesn't know each other, so he can only rob it." That guy is also a talent, although it's a pity, but there's nothing to be done. He exuded a look of regret and heartache. (To be continued......)
