Steel steam and flame

"In the end, they will turn into corpses for various reasons. Several of them were your teammates not long ago." Sotagang sighed, but the smile on his face clearly revealed his true thoughts at the moment. We had such a plan, otherwise we wouldn’t have kept the few survivors until now.

"If we are really teammates, at this time, there are more than just the four of us around the table." Ye Jielin said matter-of-factly, "When the plan is actually implemented, remember to send more secret protection behind you. Manpower. Cassia will also follow you, but she will not take action until there is a crisis. The first step of the plan is to find out the detailed information around Ovelia. The size of the armor and Firepower configuration, as well as numerical strength. I am still worried that the Astus family will take special care of Ovelia."

"There must be a special reason."

"Of course." Ye Jielin stood up at this time and looked at the time, "He is the core candidate for a very important assessment in the empire next year. There are too many things involved. Now the four forces are cultivating their own people, hoping to be able to It’s good to get enough benefits from this opportunity.”

"It's almost time. The airship will arrive at around nine o'clock in the evening. My team will arrive at each airport in batches. I hope Mr. Sotagang can make arrangements in advance."

"I won't let you down. Bota and I left first, looking forward to meeting you in the evening." Bota followed Sotagang out of the small building. After the sound of the limousine's engine disappeared, Ye Jielin looked at Cassia looked very carefully, as if trying to find something from that serious face.

"You don't have to do some things forcefully. If it's harmful to you, just accept it as 'can't' or 'won't'. It's the best choice. Your own safety should be the first priority, even if you can't do it this time Solving Ovelia will not have a big impact on us. At best, it will leave a huge trouble to be solved later. If Delin dies, our goal is almost achieved. If she dies, there will be nothing. Yes, the lifespan of an operator is very long, more than a hundred years. How long do you think you can leave an impression in our memory? Sotagang is much smarter. That is what he should do as a man who is mixed in the cracks of the major forces in the empire. There is an attitude. Neither you nor I think that Sotagang really can't use pneumatic weapons, right? It certainly won't work for a long time. There is still basic trust between us. But what about a short time?"

Cassia was speechless. She couldn't find the point that Ye Jielin, who was tilting her head to one side, wanted to express. She could only stare at the side face with a faint shadow.

"I'll be completely busy tomorrow. I need you to help me at Sotagang. You don't have to go to the factory tonight. You can stay here and have a good rest." Ye Jielin smiled slightly, "You seem to like the feeling of soaking in hot springs, too. ,,”

,,,,,,

Berta was driving, heading straight towards the factory. The wind blew in, causing the long hair to fly in the car. Sotagang pressed the window lift button and raised the window glass on both sides of the driver's seat.

An optically treated sheet is affixed to the glass, filtering out most of the light from the outside. It was very dark inside the car, so Berta naturally turned on the lights in an instant.

"As a bait, aren't you afraid of danger?" Berta knows very well about Sotagang's physical injuries, which can be reflected intuitively through detailed data on paper, but for Sotagang himself, it has not been known for several years. Find out clearly, "You must know that your current physical condition does not allow long-term high-intensity fighting. The hidden dangers left by the failure of surgical development may break out at any time. Then the patience and repair surgery over the past few years have finally brought about the therapeutic effect." It’s all in vain.”

"Not for the time being. I still have this little bit of confidence. After staying in the dark world for so long, I have learned a lot, Doctor Berta." Sotagang always had a smile on his face and his words became gentler. Many come.

Without replying immediately, Berta pressed the limousine horn hard several times. The sound stimulated the ears of the two of them, and it seemed as if all the surrounding light was eliminated, leaving only the heatless light in the car.

"Is the great power so attractive to you? After a few years, the injury will be completely healed. I don't think that with your strength and brains, you will not have the opportunity to move to a higher position. It only takes a few years. For us For an operator, time is probably one of the least expensive things."

Sotagang shook his head: "To me now, time is the most important thing, and nothing can take its place, Berta."

Berta did not deny this statement, and the point she wanted to delve into was not on this.

"Then you think Ye Jielin will be your chance?" Bota couldn't understand. "As a doctor, although I have been with you for less than three years, I have been helping you manage the black market for a long time. Business. In just three years, you have come into contact with more than three-digit people in big forces, right? Behind them are also huge backgrounds and forces, which are equal to Webley Arms Company, and there are many among them. There are some people with strength and future, and there are several candidates for succession. Why didn't you call these people opportunities at that time? Or was it just because Ye Jielin is a,,, very beautiful woman? "

Berta's words swirled around in her throat before speaking in a lowered voice.

"Although you haven't cooperated with those people like you do now. But you have also followed them. What was the final outcome? How long has it been? How many of those people are still alive and well, and how many of them were really the same as them at that time? As expected, they got to where they wanted? They all fell down and became vassals of their own power and family, without much power and power in their hands. Do you really think Ye Jielin is different from them? ?”

"I don't know." Sotagang replied, "It doesn't matter if it's the same or different, I can't wait any longer. And in the past ten years as an intermediary agent, I have learned more than just how to negotiate terms with others. , lower the price and obtain more profits. There is also something called vision. I think I have this important ability now."

"In the past ten years or so, I have come into contact with too many customers. Some of them only made one transaction and then lost contact with them forever. Some of them have frequent business contacts, but I still haven't seen any improvement in their power in a few years. Walking back and forth in circles. Of course, those big customers are the ones that businessmen like us like. One transaction can bring huge profits, and the risks are much smaller. It’s just that such big buyers and customers are more powerful than the dark ones. In the world, the base does seem too small. So I probably figured out that instead of competing with others to win such big buyers, it is better to look further and not be limited to the current situation. In fact, we agents can also Of course there are risks in cultivating such big customers by yourself, but the rewards brought by success and the relationship with customers will be much stronger."

"For those who have strength and brains, we can spend our own money to provide them with high-quality weapons and machinery to help them expand their power. Afterwards, the orders they bring to themselves can also be spent within a few transactions. The money will be made up." Suota Gang said his thoughts, "The same is true for Ye Jielin, but the reason is not that she is a beautiful woman, but that she has the above conditions. And opportunities cannot only be seized. Smart people know how to create the opportunities they want, and turn things that do not have advantages but have advantages and opportunity potential into their own advantages bit by bit."

"I shouldn't be considered a fool, right?"

"I feel like..." Berta drove the car seriously.
