Chapter 279: Callista's Temptation

Resume Update~

..................

That's a fat man.

Belch...... Words like fat or fat don't seem to be enough to describe him, his body can already be described as huge.

Although he sits, his height is about the same as that of the thug guards standing on either side, and if he stands up, he is likely to be more than 2.5 meters tall, a height that is very rare even among the dark elves who are known for their tall stature.

At the same time, he was very fat, very, very fat, and the huge silk coat he was wearing was completely held up by his body, making his body look like a balloon, or one of those balloons that was about to burst at any moment.

He doesn't have a neck, or rather, his neck is as thick as his head, so when you look down from above, it's a big fleshy head with fat eyes and mouth that is almost squeezed out by the flesh.

Interestingly, he was still bald, and he could clearly see the folds on his head due to too much flesh.

At this time, the room was actually very cool, even a little cold for ordinary people, but he was still sweating, or bubbling with oil, which caused the folds on his head to shine against the light above, and it looked like a large light bulb with a strange shape.

He seemed to be reading something, his fingers, which were much thicker than turnips, were grasping a special pen, several times thicker than ordinary pens, and he was constantly writing something, and the other hand grabbed the towel on the side from time to time to wipe the sweat on his head.

This is Langdon's acquaintance, or rather...... A familiar mountain of Roshan!

Such a look is certainly impressive, but the reason why Langdon is familiar with him is because he has dealt with him a lot in his previous life.

He is not an ordinary person, and don't be deceived by his somewhat honest appearance because he is too fat, this guy who managed to enter the Hundred Cities Federation Council and become the deputy speaker in his previous life is essentially a person as cunning as a fox.

Because of his appearance, when he was young and hairlined, people gave him the nickname "Oil Can" to describe his obesity and the ridiculous appearance of sweating as if he was bleeding out of his body.

Later, as his status became higher and higher, this nickname was not lost, but more and more people called it, but the oil pot was no longer an oil pot, but an oil fox!

Smooth as a fox, oil fox Callista!

Seeing him, Langdon couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he knew that this Roshan had a very unusual past, but he never thought that he would still stay in the Gold and Wealth Organization.

You must know that this organization is equivalent to the dark side of the Hundred Cities Federation, which relies on this organization to obtain a lot of wealth, but at the same time tries to get rid of its relationship with him.

It is also because of this that the people who work in the Gold and Wealth Organization have basically lost the possibility of continuing to serve in the Hundred Cities Federation, after all, once their identities are exposed, it is equivalent to giving others an excuse to do something against the Hundred Cities Federation, which is not something that the Hundred Cities Federation wants to see.

Of course, those people are not nothing, and in order to compensate for their identities that can never be exposed, he will receive a far greater amount of wealth than ordinary, enough for themselves and their children and grandchildren to live a carefree life.

But now, right in front of Langdon, Langdon's first acquaintance in the real sense after coming to this world gave Langdon a big surprise.

Now one of the high-level leaders of Gold and Wealth, the future vice president of the Hundred Cities Federation, if such an identity change spreads, it is enough to make him a legend!

Just after Langdon and the others entered, Callista also stopped what he was doing, put down the special pen, and looked up at Langdon and the others carefully.

It wasn't until Langdon and Pad led him to the middle of the two rows of thugs in the center of the room that he withdrew his gaze and asked in a calm and neutral voice that was extremely inconsistent with his stature, "You guys, you must be the friends Pad said helped the convoy get rid of the robbers, right?"

"Yes, it's me, Mr. Callista. Langdon bowed slightly, and replied in the same calm voice.

"Oh, do you know me?" Callista was a little stunned, perhaps because there was so much fat on his face that it was difficult for him to make some expressions, and he could only know how he could react through his voice.

Langdon keenly caught a sharp glint from his little eyes that were almost invisible when he was surrounded by fat around him, but he didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "Of course, Oil Fox Callista, a legendary figure in the Federation of Hundred Cities, there are descriptions of you everywhere, how can a person like me who has been here for a long time not know?"

This explanation is reasonable, and it is just right to show that Langdon only identified the other party's identity from various legends, and not deliberately investigated.

After saying this, Langdon also felt that Pader, who was leading the way in front, also felt slightly relaxed, and listened to Callista continue: "Ha, when did I become a legend, I don't know myself, you are so flattering to me, Mr. Langdon, but aren't you curious to see me here?"

As the deputy speaker of the Hundred Cities Federation, of course, there were many people who investigated his life history in the previous life, and they basically formed a relatively complete set of materials, but now it seems that many of those are obviously made to cover up his true identity, and his question is also aimed at this, how can a celebrity of the Hundred Cities Federation actually appear in such a notorious organization as Gold and Wealth, how can it not be surprising and curious?

Langdon remained calm and smiled: "Who in this world does not have some little secrets? I have never been a person who likes to explore those secrets, and for me, some tangible benefits are far more interesting than pursuing those secrets that may never be answered." ”

Callista looked at Langdon for a long time, and Pader was already sweating on his back.

He knew that the conversation between the two people was not so simple, and Callista's questions actually revolved around a core, that is, to warn Langdon that the relationship between the Gold and Wealth Organization and the Federation of Hundred Cities was not something he should be curious about, what to know and what not to know, Langdon needed to figure it out.

If such a topic is not answered well, and Callista misunderstands that Langdon and his party are deliberately trying to probe the secrets of the Hundred Cities Federation, those people will die, and he will definitely not be able to bring people here.

Langdon's answer was straightforward, telling Callista bluntly that I was only interested in my vital interests, and that I had no interest in the secrets.

The answer is very direct and clear, but it is uncertain whether it can make Callista believe it, and this is the most important level.

Callista looked at Langdon for a long time, and suddenly, the smile that had been stuck in the corner of his mouth suddenly began to spread, and the horizontal flesh of his face trembled, helping the smile to turn into a big laugh.

Seeing that smile, Langdon and Pad were relieved at the same time and passed the test.
