Chapter Ninety-Five: The Descendants of the Past
"Oh, that's pretty impressive." Xie Lian looked at this posture, and unconsciously touched his hand behind him, although as a sequence 4, he already had the ability to partially resist bullets, but it was not absolutely safe.
Surrounded by these armed men in red and black jackets, Aaron stepped forward slowly, thinking about how to ease the situation and get out, Tilan stood behind with a slight pressure on the brim of his hat, and Avne frowned, as if she didn't like this kind of jumping and arrogant way of greeting, not to mention, the man on the other side was almost thirty or forty years old when he saw that his beard was almost thirty or forty, and he was probably about the same age as her father.
"I'm sorry, I refuse." Avni is not a girl who is easily frightened by this kind of battle, she has even seen more outrageous scenes before, and there are many strange things about wealthy families.
"Hey, did you just refuse?" The man on the other side was still in his chest.
"Come on, come on, who will introduce me to this young lady." Soon after speaking, the person who had accosted him before stepped forward.
He coughed twice before opening his mouth.
"Ahem, this beautiful young lady, do you know who this handsome man next to me is, he is now the second heir of the 'Burning Iron Energy', the future king of Lebiang, with countless followers, thousands of iron wills, step by step on the top of the sky and the sea and clouds." After speaking, he also applauded, but the other red and black armed personnel around him did not match much, and the applause seemed a little lonely.
"Okay, okay, I'll have to be humble." Seeing that the attendant had finished speaking, he waved his hand to let him stand down, and then walked towards the four of them.
Just when everyone thought he had done something shocking and began to be on guard, the man suddenly stood still, and with a flip of his wrist, a small box between his sleeves was revealed.
The red box was opened, revealing a crimson gem that emitted a faint halo, and then red branches began to grow on it, like miniature versions of trees, which stretched out, and finally slowly formed a ring surrounded by golden leaves between the branches, which hung crumblingly and glittering with golden light on the branches.
"For you, it's as beautiful as your long hair, like a flowing golden morning light." Although his appearance is not satisfactory, this sentence is still quite poetic, I don't know where he learned it.
"No, you don't." Avne's face was gone, bored, the expensive gifts she had received since she was a child were unknown, and she had long been immune and tired of it.
Seeing that the other party was not shy and deliberate, but really disgusted and cold, this surprised Masiza and didn't know what to do for a while.
In Lebiang, he generally only needs to show his name when he pursues girls, even if he is a reserved girl, he will be moved by luxury cars, gorgeous gems, and delicate rings, and this unexpected situation is the first time he has encountered it.
With strong? No, no, although the power of Burning Iron Energy is not small, he Masiza still has a good face, and robbing is not in line with his usual style.
"Don't you know the value of this ring, this beautiful young lady? It'sā" Before he could finish, Avne interrupted him.
"It is the A31st model of the 'Cuihong Gold Leaf' series under the 'Aegeanway' brand, a total of 2,499 pieces were produced, and 128 pieces were distributed to the four-leaf crystal star field, and the official website was priced at 2.88 million federal coins at that time, of which the Hyster family bought 54 pieces and distributed them to the young women in the clan at that time, which is why this series became popular in the four-leaf crystal star field, and was later fried to nearly 4 million federal coins."
"I'm right." After saying that, Avne glanced at him like a roe deer in the countryside.
This kind of gaze hit Masiza deeply, and he also paid attention to the girl in front of him, it seems that she is not an ordinary girl.
"Well, it does." He put the box away.
Such a scene surprised the originally calm red and black armed personnel, and their eyes couldn't help but converge on Avne, which made the blonde girl a little irritable, she had long been used to being watched by people, but she was still a little unbearable by this unscrupulous gaze of the figure.
A faint anger ignited the magic power on her side, and a flame gathered in the palm of her hand, and the heat in it continued to compress and gather, obviously only a fist-sized fireball, but it made people feel as if they were standing at the scene of the burning fire, and a wave of heat hit.
"Don't don't, this friend, this guest, please put out the flame immediately." The employees at the gas station on the side were nervous, for fear of igniting something at the moment, there was a lot of fuel here, and in case of an explosion, no one would survive.
For the magic power that burned like fire, everyone in the field was also frightened, although it had not fully exploded, but they could also see that the power was not small.
The idea that this girl was by no means ordinary appeared in the minds of those present, and Massiza became a little more formal from the previous rashness and playfulness.
"It seems that I neglected the distinguished guest, and I should indeed be punished." He bent down to apologize, then waved his hand again.
"Come, give them three hundred butts." After saying that, he clapped his hands, and the three people who were still thinking about flattery in exchange for benefits were dumbfounded, why did you apologize but they suffered.
However, the situation in front of them did not change because of their thoughts, and the red and black armed men on the side laughed and pressed the three of them against the wall, and then the three members of the group beat their butts with the butts of their guns, and from time to time they could hear a burst of howls.
"Okay, I'm not interested in seeing you guys make such a fuss, can you get out of the way now?" Avne stepped forward, and although the flames in her hands dissipated, the residual heat in the air still showed everyone that she was not powerless.
"Let? No problem, but I would like to invite this beautiful lady and her companion to my house today, and I believe it will be a good boost to our previous friendship. ā
"The friendship of my Masiza is very rare, and it can also make you unhindered in Lebiang." In other words, if there is no friendship with him, there may be all kinds of obstacles.
This kind of forced invitation is really tiresome, just when a few people were thinking about whether they would agree, Ti Lan, who had not spoken in the back, finally spoke at this time, the voice was like flowing water in the mountains, clear and slightly cool, quieting the originally chaotic scene.
"It's okay to have dinner together, but I guess you should also be a polite host and not threaten in this way."
Hearing the cold voice here, everyone's eyes converged, and then they found the black-haired girl who had been ignored by them, and after she walked out, several other people also nodded slightly, following her, as if this girl who had been unnoticed was the backbone.
"Oh, that's interesting, no problem, I promise." After saying that, Masiza clapped his palms again, asked the few people who were beating on the side to stop, and then gave another order.
"There will be a car to pick up a few people later, please don't be impatient."
Just when Tilan's side decided to go to the 'Burning Iron Energy' group to have a look, on the other side, Jinsenke also discussed the result with Red Hat.
"You mean, take us to the 'Black Hammer Heavy Industries' to participate in the selection of mercenaries, and then blend in?"
"That's right, the money they gave is still very generous, so that not only can you get a sum of money in advance, but you can also know the arrangement of the Black Hammer." Red Hats seems to be extraordinarily confident.
"But we've never been mercenaries before, so there should be some kind of criteria for this kind of selection, and can strangers be trusted by them?" Kinsonk is not stupid.
"That's no problem, the mercenaries come from all over the world, there's no standard for this, you just need to disguise it a little......" Red Hat finished introducing everyone, and it was already night after finishing the process.
After listening to this, Kinsenke made an appointment with him on a meeting place tomorrow, and then returned to the van with a few companions.
It's already 10 o'clock in the evening, the car is still bright, Phyllis sits in the cab and chats with N, asking some interesting things about N's year, in the carriage, Aaron sits on the seat and taps the keyboard, sorting out the information collected today, and Avne leans against the window, occasionally looking at the personal terminal, as if in a daze, while on the other side, Tilan is sleeping on Delores' lap.
"You're back." Hearing the footsteps of getting into the car, Xi Mu got up from behind the sofa, saw Gu Luo and Jin Senke nodding, and then continued to turn over.
"I'm not in the car tomorrow, I feel more tired than usual driving, let's change someone." He yawned and complained, talking about the days when people came around to harass and peep, and there were people trying to steal cars, or steal parts.
"No problem, what is the situation of you today, Alian, I have found a good business here, although the risk is a bit high, but the reward is indeed rich." Jinsenke wanted to reveal a lot of the secret information that he knew today.
"We're in a good situation here, and we had a hearty dinner with a certain wronged second son, and then learned a lot of useful information from him." Aaron put down his keyboard hand, then stood up, poured himself a cup of coffee, and prepared to continue fighting until late at night.
"Alas, is that so, where are you going to eat, I knew that I was also with Tilan." Ruby feigned envy and regret.
"Go to the 'Burning Iron Energy' side, it is said that they have a lot of power in the local area, and I think the chefs in the hotel are a little afraid of him." Aaron talked about his thoughts as he told Ruby and the others about what happened today.
After Masiza appeared, his repeated pursuit behavior was rejected by Avni, and in the end, he seemed to be a little annoyed and asked to invite a few people to dinner together to save some face, and when several people were hesitating, Tilan stepped forward and agreed to the other party's request for the time being.
However, the dinner was not at Masiza's house, but somewhere in the city of Lebion, during which the other party also tried to toast and inquire about the origin of several people, but they were all well dealt with by Aaron and Avne.
"Although it was a bit troublesome to deal with him, fortunately, I also got a lot of information, and in addition, I avoided direct conflict." Aaron pushes his glasses.
"Masiza seems to be a good person, but when I actually come into contact with it, I don't think it's so simple, although he has always said that he is very interested in Avne, but unlike the kind of person who is really obsessed with beauty, he always feels a little too obsessed, but not so crazy, as if, as if ......" He wanted to find a word to describe it.
"It's as if it's just a disguise." Not far away, Tiran propped herself up from Delores' knees and said something that was vaguely wrong in Aaron's heart.
The dark-haired girl stood up, poured herself a glass of pure water, and sat by the window, blowing the cool night breeze.
"We've had an interesting thing on our side, too." After listening to the stories of several people, Kinsenke also pulled out a chair and sat down, and talked about the events of the day, in which Valker added from time to time, and on the other side, Ruby said sleepily that he had gone to the shower and slept first.
ā¦ā¦
"In this way, the two biggest forces in the city are 'Black Hammer Heavy Industry' and 'Burning Iron Energy'." Aaron summed it up slightly.
"I heard from Masizana that a hundred years ago, the relationship between 'Burning Iron Energy' and 'Black Hammer Heavy Industry' was actually very good, and the two sides were still trying to marry at that time, but unfortunately later because the eldest lady of 'Burning Iron Energy' died unexpectedly, this marriage finally failed, and then the relationship between the two sides became worse and worse. ā
"That's because, a hundred years ago, it was 'Burning Iron Energy' and 'Black Hammer Heavy Industries' that joined forces to defeat the other three groups and control the last cake of Lebiang, and they have the friendship of comrades-in-arms with each other." Jinsenke said about the information gathered today.
"Speaking of which, although I don't trust the Red Hat's plan very much, I am very interested in many of the news and old things he said, and as you know, my family is an industrial group dominated by hovercars, and the reason why it rose back then was also related to the change four hundred years ago, but they fell because of it, and our family rose because of it." Kinsenke leaned back in his chair and spoke slowly, sipping a cold beer from time to time.
"For 'Black Hammer Heavy Industry' and 'Burning Iron Alliance', when I came back, I checked the information on the Xiaxing Network, and I really found some interesting historical materials."
"In fact, their predecessors are all descendants of the 'Thirteen Heavy Industries' in the Beixing District, these thirteen groups were extremely powerful in the Beixing District at the beginning, with millions of employees under their command, many large heavy assets, and a lot of right to speak."
"But on the other hand, their production lines or by-products of production have caused a lot of pollution, and the large amount of toxic products has caused a lot of dissatisfaction, but because of the cooperation of these thirteen groups, the Beixing district government has been suppressing and ignoring pollution-related news."
"In this way, until the poisonous rain broke out in the end, and the dark rain curtain flooded the northern districts, the matter could no longer be suppressed, and even the federal central parliament began to intervene."
"Under the investigation of the investigators and inquisitors sent by the central star field of the Federation, the matter gradually came to light, and almost all the upper echelons of the Thirteen Groups were arrested and imprisoned to appease the public anger, and then the Thirteen Groups were dismembered by the Federation, and all their assets were sold to remedy and restore the local environment."
"Factories and assets will not disappear in a vacuum, and most of the people who take over these factories and assets are middle-level employees of the original thirteen groups, who are familiar with this and have also received some other capital funding."
"Although a large number of polluting production lines have been dismantled and modified, a small number of them have inherited their original functions, after all, some raw materials and intermediate products are really needed in various industries."
"It's just that because the general environment has been damaged, the North Star District is declining day by day, and their situation is getting worse day by day, until finally the North Star District is canceled, the entire area is required to be relocated by the government, and the remnants of these heavy industry groups have also begun to tear each other apart."
"Is this some kind of self-inflicted blame?" Avne, who had not spoken before, would finally speak, sobering up from her daze.
"The cause of the past, the fruit of today."
It's a little bit of a cardin, and it's better to figure out how to unfold it
