Steel steam and flame

"The remaining route is the technical direction. Sotagang has its own transportation route, so it is natural to want to maximize this advantage to expand the business. The position of the intermediary agent is neither high nor low, rather than reselling the goods To make money on the Internet, it is better to say that they are earning dangerous transportation fees by relying on their own transportation routes. It is better in the empire, but those locations close to the border, especially large areas bordering other small countries, are because they are originally controlled by the empire. Things that are expressly prohibited by law are not protected by the power of the empire. And most of the benefits have to fall into the pockets of the Golden Bank." Ye Jielin obviously knows much more than Cassia, so It was the knowledge that was naturally imprinted in her head after being born in the same environment since she was a child.

"What we need is his transportation route. It would cost a lot of money and manpower to open it up by ourselves, and time does not allow us to do it. The special transportation provided by Golden Bank is reliable, but the price is too high. It’s too expensive and is not an option for us to consider now.”

"Golden Bank?" Cassia was very interested in these. He knew that in addition to providing money deposits and withdrawals, Golden Bank was also doing most of the postal mail delivery business in the empire.

"It is recognized that the strength of the seven giant companies is the first, and Webley Arms Company is only ranked third among several companies." Ye Jielin lamented at the same time, "The route over Sotagang and the Golden Bank also have A little bit related, but only Sotagang himself knows what it is. This is not what we need to consider. Cooperation can also be regarded as a transaction. We need the identity of Sotagang's intermediate agent and a relatively safe transportation route. .At the same time, he also needs the technology we have in hand. It is in line with the basic principles of trading."

"Furthermore, there is another point that interests me, that is, he is also actively doing smuggling business in other small countries. It is an unstable place. Including the empire, three giant countries have extended their hands to The chaos caused there is the best environment for the dark world to exist there." Ye Jielin's words suddenly stopped here, and when Cassia looked over, she had already stood up.

"It's almost time. Go get your luggage first, and then rush to my temporary residence. There may be what you need there." Ye Jielin stood up, stretched her body, and waved her hands deliberately and said, Cassia followed her out of the conference room.

Outside is a spacious room with machines placed in an orderly manner. There are far fewer people monitoring the machines now. They all went back to rest. Sotagang and Bota are not here either. They probably returned to their temporary residence. They came here because of an important transaction. The area Sotagang is mainly responsible for is not here.

"By the way, what's the deal for Sotagang coming here?" Cassia thought on the road and looked at Ye Jielin who was leaning against the car window and looking at the flashing street lights outside. Almost every time she rides in the car, Ye Jielin has this lazy look, with an expressionless but relaxed face.

"Several small super vapor compression devices that have been repaired will be shipped out of the empire in the next few days and sent to other small countries." Ye Jielin did not look back and just talked to herself, her eyes reflecting the flowing scenery. "It is said that the returning personnel this time secretly dismantled the damaged war machine and brought it back from the outer reaches of the extreme area."

"Lord Sotagang..." The voice was a little serious.

Sotagang was driving, and Berta was sitting in the passenger seat. She glanced at the cephalic vein on the back of her hand that was gradually dissipating. The medicine she had just injected was flowing to her whole body with the blood.

Sotagang didn't seem to hear it. It wasn't until the limo passed through the tunnel under the railway line and pressed on a serious road that he turned back and glanced at Bota.

"I know what you want to say. Just be clear. We are not absolutely hostile to Ye Jielin. They are here all because of the mission of the military school. If you are worried, they just want to take advantage of us. , I don’t think so. Since it is a cooperative relationship, we should give the other party basic trust. Putting aside their tasks, we will become very good collaborators." Only then did Sotagang reply. He was already in his thirties. Although he is 30 years old, the surgery has made his appearance change very slowly. At this moment, he still has the face of a student who has just graduated from school. The eyes reflected the light from the street lamps that rushed towards them, making Berta unable to see clearly the eyes under the lenses.

What else to say, the pair of reflective lenses made Berta subconsciously close her mouth.

"How is the injury?" Sotagang asked other questions.

"It's just a shock to the internal organs. It can probably be recovered in one night." Berta replied. "The power is incompatible with that body. The sensitivity is amazing and the strength is very strong." Berta commented.

"Then what do you think will happen if you face Cassia alone?"

"The situation will be much worse than it is now." Berta exhaled, "I am just a doctor. Following you, I only supervise you to inject medicine on time."

There was a brief silence, and the two seemed to suddenly talk about a topic that neither of them wanted to touch upon, and they each closed their mouths. When several other limousines suddenly appeared on the quiet road, Berta spoke again.

"When you were driving just now, new news came from your residence. The injuries of three people have stabilized, but the remaining four people were seriously injured and died not long ago because the treatment could not keep up. You did not let the medical staff Are they sedated?"

"No." Suotagan answered simply, "This news is as I expected, those seven people are not Ye Jielin. The purpose of their coming here is only to complete the mission of the military school, and they have no intention of becoming our allies. possibility. You also saw it three days ago. It is very common for them to turn their guns and point their guns at the heads of their teammates at any time whenever they have disagreements. Even if they will agree to cooperate with us and become allies. But How much trust can we exchange between us?”

"Anyway, I can't trust them. As for the three people who survived..."

The rest of the words were drowned in the roaring sound of the limousine's engine. There were only two rows of street lights on the road at night. In a city dominated by railway lines, limousines had long ago become a rare thing.

The red taillight of the limo quickly disappeared into the winding road and headed to the other side of the steam emission tower. There were multiple sounds of running water, and there was a smell of sulfur in the air. It was an area rich in geothermal resources.
