In the north city of Atlanta, when Li Mochen and his party entered the lobby of the Cardinals Club through the secret passage, they happened to meet Franks who came in from another passage, and his right-hand man Philip Luxemburg.

"What a coincidence. ”

Franks directly gave Li Mochen a warm bear hug: "Is it right to come here for human resources? I have heard of your situation, it is not easy to integrate the escort armament of five ships in such a short period of time, and now the human resources of the entire Atlanta are about to be swept away by you, there is not much left, and many of my friends are complaining." ”

"Today I plan to visit the human resources market here, but not all, I am also interested in this auction. ”

Li Mochen was also worried when he thought of the rapidly expanding armed forces under his own banner.

As Franks said, his Rising Sun Retail Company, as well as Rising Sun Safe, renamed by Bloody Hands Preservation Company, is recruiting people on a large scale throughout Georgia.

However, there are not many magic professionals above level nine, and there are even fewer people with innocent backgrounds who can pass the triple loyalty review of Jemiri Burt and Li Tailai and Alyssa.

In this regard, Li Mochen would rather be lacking, even if he can't recruit enough people, he doesn't want to put those unreliable guys in.

His current situation is different from before, and he is being hostile to some members of the Dragon Witch Cult, the Medici family, the Wildenstein family, and some business competitors at the same time, so he must be extremely careful.

At present, the Rising Sun Retail Company has only completed the formation of sixty-five defense teams and five extra-legal combat teams, but due to the lack of prestige of Zhang Wei, the acting chief security officer, it is completely scattered.

Then there is the unit called 'Rising Sun Protection', which is actually his private army, and the escort forces that are also hung under the banner of 'Rising Sun Protection'.

Among them, the three armed forces led by Lee Tae-lai, Sampson Brut and Thompson Adams are not bad. All three teams have enough backbones that they just need to be filled with manpower. At present, there are 35 combat groups and seven extrajudicial squads.

The problem was the formation and recruitment of escort forces, and Li Mochen encountered a great setback. In the past half a month, he has not even hired even a single outlaw above the fifteenth level.

If this continues, even if Li Mochen transfers Li Tailai's team to the sea, there will be insufficient manpower.

According to the conventional configuration, five armed merchant ships must hire twenty extra-French combat teams. But he has only completed six of them so far.

However, the number of high-level outsiders can be exceeded by Li Mochen's side. The brothers Li Tailai and Lawrence are currently above the seventeenth level, and there are two secondments that Alexandra Candela promised to second.

However, as the leader of the ship, his overall strength should have surpassed all the members.

"Then you'll have to pay attention, Andrey, you're like a balloon about to burst. ”

"Of course, I'll pay attention. ”

Li Mochen understood what Franks meant. But after he finished speaking, he looked at the other side with a different color: "Franks, you will also come to the Cardinals Club?"

"Ha, can't I come just because I have the black market on Laurel Street?"

Franks chuckled, "You know who is behind this Cardinal Club, right? And what is really useful for our level can only be bought here. Andrey, if you have time at nine o'clock, go to the A7 auction hall on the second floor, where you may be able to see what you want. ”

Li Mochen's expression suddenly condensed slightly, and he replied very seriously: "I'll go and have a look." ”

The A7 auction hall of the Cardinal Club is generally dedicated to auctioning all kinds of magical artifacts, but what he is most lacking now is manpower.

However, Li Mochen knew that this big cadre of the Teutonic Cross had deep roots in Atlanta, especially in terms of underground transactions, and there were news channels that those big families and big forces might not be able to.

This made Li Mochen's heart slightly breed a little expectation. He decided that when the time came, he would go over and have a look.

Li Mochen is not worried about spending money now, but he is worried that he can't spend it. If the A7 auction hall really has something that he can use, Li Mochen will never spare a lot of money.

"Anyway, let's get all the people as soon as possible. ”

As he spoke, Franks patted Li Mochen's shoulder heavily: "Do a good job! ”

This person did not go with Li Mochen, and walked out when the elevator descended to the sixth floor. And Li Mochen took a group of people and went straight to the fourth-floor human resources market.

It's a pity that this time he was disappointed again, and the stack of resumes taken out by Cardinal's human resources manager overlapped with the resumes that were recently submitted to Rising Sun Retail and Glorious Sun Security. The difference is that there is a guarantee from the Cardinals Club here, and there is no problem in terms of reliability, but Li Mochen also has to pay a lot of money to the club for this.

Then in the slave market on the third floor, Li Mochen also found nothing.

There are also quite a few extra-legal grades here, but the cost performance is extremely low. One or two million gold shields can take down a slave of a thirteenth-level magic energy profession. But they are either exhausted of potential or lack will, as Isadora is in the first place.

Instead, Hazel opened her eyes to the many humanoid races that had unlocked the magic of disguise. In addition to the common elves, half-elves, dwarves, even Medusa has them.

Isadora Wicks, who was dressed as a maid in the back, had complicated eyes, and no active slave would have a good impression of this kind of place.

"In my textbook, it is said that all races in this world should be fraternal and equal. ”

When the group reached a third of the way through the slave market, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Hazel's lips: "There should be a lot of humanoid slaves like this, there should be a lot of them in America, right?"

"Hazel, are you being cynical?"

Alyssa said: "If you think that thousands of years ago, our ancestors were enslaved by all kinds of humans, and even used as food, it will be much better. Even now, can the ordinary people of America be equal and friendly in front of those who have advanced magical classes? In the final analysis, it is nothing more than one side is strong and the other side is weak, the so-called law of the jungle, the surface and the inside of this world, but completely different rules. ”

Hazel was stunned when she heard this, and then she fell into contemplation.

Li Mochen originally planned to talk to Hazard seriously, but after he listened to Alyssa's words, he stopped talking about it and walked straight ahead.

It wasn't until they came to a magic material shop on the first floor that Li Mochen picked up his first harvest after coming to the Cardinal Club.

They were two specially made medicine bottles, each containing a mass of blood.

"According to your request, ten drops of the blood of the Legendary Titan Holy Warrior can be determined to be the line of Xuperion, and ten drops of the dragon blood of the young blue dragon, the price is a total of fourteen million gold dong. ”

The manager of this magic material shop once again emphasized to Li Mochen: "We only accept cash, or checks from Cardinal's underground bank. ”
