When he came out of prison, Shen Yi saw that Atkins was already waiting for him.

"The complexion is not bad. Atkins asked, "Enough cool?"

"Honestly, in general. Shen Yi spread his hands with a regretful tone: "The time is too short, and she is too dry there." ”

Atkins was stunned, he turned and walked towards the door: "You've made me a little unappetizing, man, I never thought you would be such a nasty bastard. ”

Shen Yi looked down at the coat of arms.

Damn, one sentence directly drops ten points of favorability.

There's not much left, okay?

He walked up briskly and walked alongside Atkins: "I don't have that hobby, General, but there are always some women who deserve to make an exception...... If it weren't for her status as a princess and a shadow assassin, I'd rather find one on the street. And I chose her because I thought it would make you happy. ”

Atkins stopped and looked at Shen Yi: "Do you think I'll like you to do that?"

"After all, she assassinated you twice, didn't she? This woman deserves a lesson, but there are some noble things that you don't fit to do, and someone needs to take care of them for you. ”

Atkins could hear something in Shen Yi's words.

He replied with a hint of caution: "I have enough men and friends to solve my problems." ”

"But not all problems and troubles, the most important thing is that you also need to pay, but I am different......" Shen Yi replied with Atkins in the face.

Atkins' eyes narrowed.

As a general, having experienced countless storms and tests, he certainly understood the meaning of Shen Yi's words.

In fact, I don't know how many people have made similar proposals like Shen Yi, but most of them have been rejected by Atkins.

Not because Atkins is incorruptible - the virtue of incorruptibility is noble because it is rare.

Rather, it was because he was cautious - only a bribe that was safe and undetected had value to accept.

And for a sum of money to be safe, it needs to have at least two conditions.

One: From credible people. 2. The "service" purchased by the other party should be within his authority as much as possible and will not cause trouble.

Because of this, Atkins has always been very cautious when it comes to money, which also makes him have a good reputation, and at the same time, he has a lot of money.

From a practical point of view, a general who has the principle of collecting money is a good general.

Shen Yizhi already has the qualifications of the former, no matter what, he is the person who saved his life twice, and he can be trusted.

The question is what does he want, and what can he give?

After thinking about it, Atkins said, "It seems that you are very ambitious, I can understand your feelings...... You've been given a chance and you don't want to miss it. ”

"Yes, General. ”

"So how are you going to make the most of this opportunity?"

"That's the kind of general, you know that a few days ago I just leased a factory and was producing some standard equipment, which was originally intended to be sold to those mercenaries. But as you know, it's not an easy business. ”

"It's really hard to do. Atkins nodded, he was clear about Shen Yi renting a factory. The rent of the Imperial Factory is so expensive that it is actually used to trick people who think they can make a fortune in business. If the weapons produced by those factories cannot be sold for a good price, the people who lease the factories will lose money and will not know their families.

"But I'm renting it out anyway, and not only that, but I'm going to expand the business. ”

"What?" Atkins was stunned, thought for a moment and said, "If you need me to help you lower your rent......"

"No, no, General Atkins, I didn't mean that. Shen Yi hurriedly said.

What are you kidding, even if Atkins comes in, how much rent will he be able to help him with? That's not what he wants.

Shen Yi said quickly: "Actually, I hope you can invest." I intend to set up two companies as quickly as possible, an equipment production company and a security company, and I am willing to leave 20% of the shares for you, of course...... The price will be very cheap. ”

"I'm not interested. Atkins turned and walked away: "I don't think your company has any future. ”

It would be nice if a high-priced rented factory would not lose money.

Shen Yi hurriedly followed: "Under normal circumstances, this is true, but what if the war happens?"

"What did you say?" Atkins stopped again and looked at Shen Yi in shock.

Shen Yi leaned into Atkins' ear and whispered a few words.

The next moment, Atkins's face changed drastically, and he took a few steps back in a row: "This is impossible!"

"In fact it's happening, General. Shen Yi pressed step by step: "Taiyi Zhenren is about to enter the city." ”

"He can't do ......"

"He can do it, General, this is the Empire, as long as His Majesty the Emperor nods!" Shen Yi didn't give an inch, he was like a reborn, no one understood the rhythm of history better than him, not only that, he even directly decided history: "The war mobilization order will be issued faster than you can imagine, and the attack will be launched within three days." ”

"It is impossible for the country to ...... without more than three months of preparation"

"The Empire is always preparing for war, and is ready to go to war, General, you know this better than I do!"

Atkins took a long breath.

He stared at Shen Yi: "Are you sure what you said is the truth?"

Shen Yi smiled, and he took a few steps forward.

This time it was Atkins who followed.

Shen Yi said leisurely: "General, the shares are there, it doesn't matter if you want it or not, but I suggest you prepare now." His Majesty's War Mobilization Order will not be long before it is issued, if you can respond in advance before then...... You know how good that is for you, right?"

Atkins' eyes lit up.

He knew all too well what that meant.

"But if you're wrong......"

"Then you won't have anything to lose, will you? General. Shen Yi said with a smile.

Atkins was a hawk in the military, and it was only natural for him to make war rhetoric.

Only this time, the effect of the rhetoric will be different.

Thinking about this, Atkins nodded: "I'm going to prepare for a press conference, if you're right...... Shen Yi, I don't need your shares, but I need some help from you in other areas. ”

"If it's a security company, there's no problem!" Shen Yi put his right hand to his chest and bowed to Atkins.

Sure enough, a smart young man, Atkins thought.

Although he had only been in contact for a few days, Atkins had already truly felt that Shen Yi was very human.

This feeling was not Shen Yi's indiscriminate anger, but felt from the contact over the past few days.

A young man who had nothing before entering the city had become an arms dealer in just a few days.

What could be more telling than that?

This made Atkins also interested and confident in Shen Yi's upcoming security company.

A better bribe than money is a military merit!

"I need to see their fight. Atkins said.

"Then I need you to arrange some high-level tasks for me that my current reputation can't undertake, such as S-level ones, how about it?" Shen Yi replied.

"S-class?" Atkins looked at Shen Yi in shock, "It seems that you have a lot of confidence in the troops you are about to build." ”

"More confidence than you can imagine. ”

"So...... I agree. ”

In this way, without paying any price, Shen Yi was given the right to freely pick any high-level task at one time.

It is worth noting that when Atkins left, Shen Yi saw that his favorability with Atkins had risen again.

"It's a realistic guy...... But I just like to deal with real people. Shen Yi muttered to himself.

casually stopped a car, and Shen Yi sat in the car.

"City Hall. He said.

Before the mobilization order is issued, all the factories that can be rented are rented, all the stocks that can be bought, and all the tasks that can be taken on are followed -- leaving no residue.

―――――――――――――――

"What did you say?" the receptionist looked gentle in shock.

Gentleness, who was sitting across from the receptionist, leaned forward, a movement that made the receptionist instinctively retreat.

Gentleness could only hook her fingers impatiently and let her close to her: "I need you to tell your president, Lord Maxis, two things. One: Princess Carmela was arrested after a failed assassination. Two: The Tianlu Dynasty and the Arente Empire are about to join forces to attack the kingdom. Do you understand?"

She wasn't worried about someone stealing her information to risk her money.

In such a major event, it is necessary to confirm the source and ask about the incident in order to judge its reliability.

The receptionist looked at the gentleness dumbfoundedly: "This can't be...... God is above, this is impossible!"

Her performance made Gentle very dissatisfied.

"You are not qualified to judge, Miss Eva, please inform the elder of the news immediately, and I will wait for him here!"

"Ah...... Alright, alright!" the receptionist hurried away, entering a secluded courtyard through the back passage.

Gentle just waited leisurely, surrounded by a group of mercenaries who were also stunned when they heard the news.

It wasn't long before an old man with gray hair but good spirits appeared at the door of the passage, followed by four people close behind him.

An axe-resistant man with a naked/naked upper body, a handsome blonde man in a red cloak with full armor and a lion eagle wing coat of arms engraved on his armor.

An old man in a white robe with a high hat on his head and a man covered in shadows, his face covered with a black cloth.

There was a sigh of embarrassment all around.

"It's President Maxis, he's really here. ”

"Next to that should be Zakubi, the beast. ”

If it wasn't a surprise that President Maxis and Zakubi, the beast known as the king of mercenaries, were here, the other three couldn't help but be surprised.

"Oh my gosh, that's ...... That's Prince Apollo, the head of the Royal Guard, and they'll be here too?"

"And Archpriest Crumpton, the true God is above, why is even the red-robed Archpriest coming?"

"Who is that faceless man?"

"Shut up, you idiot, you know at a glance that they are high-ranking people in the Dark Temple, don't ask who they are, only the dead know their identity!"

Even a fool realizes at this time that the gentle news is not groundless.

The white-haired old man had already come to Gentle's side, he looked at Gentle, and waved his hand: "When the others leave here, everything they heard just now must not be passed out, otherwise they will be executed, do you understand?"

In terms of power, Maxis did not have the power to execute anyone, but a group of mercenaries were so frightened that they nodded hurriedly and ran out of the guild hall one after another, leaving only Wen Wen and a few others on the scene.

Scared off a group of no-brainers, the president of Maxis was about to speak, and the blonde Prince Apollo had already taken the lead and asked gentlely, "You are the one who gave the news of Carmela's arrest?"

"It's me, Your Royal Highness the Prince. Gently stood up and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Source?" said the prince, succinctly.

"I have someone in Canterlot. ”

"What about the evidence?"

"Your presence is proof...... How long has it been since the Dark Temple has contacted Her Royal Highness, or has it been given more definite news?"

Prince Apollo's face immediately changed, and he looked at the black-robed man beside him, who just lowered his head and remained silent.

That's right, if it weren't for the fact that they had lost contact with Carmela for a while, how could they be alarmed by such a gossip.

It was precisely because he knew that the news was not groundless that Apollo appeared here.

At this time, the Archpriest of Crumpleton, who was wearing a high hat and holding a holy canon, suddenly said, "So what's the news about the Tianlu Dynasty and the Arron Empire?"

"Tianlu National Master Taiyi Zhenren personally went to the Aaronte Empire to meet the emperor and invited the two countries to attack our country together. ”

"Evidence. ”

"There's no evidence, anyway, it won't be long before you get the news, I'm just saying hello in advance. ”

Zakubi, a beast that resembles Augusta, stepped forward and shattered the masonry on the ground: "Without evidence, your news is worthless, you are wasting our time!"

Gentle pouting: "Who said I came to sell intelligence?"

"Huh?" Zakubi snapped.

Gentle had replied leisurely: "I'm here to apply for a mission." ”

"Mission, what mission?" Zakubi was puzzled.

"The mission to save Princess Carmela, of course. She replied with a gentle smile: "Within three days, I will be able to rescue her...... So you'd better be polite to me. ”

Everyone was frightened by this at the same time.

"You can't do it, no one can do it!" Zakubi shouted.

Gentle smiled more and more happily: "Are you reminding me to ask for a good price? ”
