When the black-clothed maid walked out of Bernier's mansion, it was drizzling lightly. This wide street was already empty, and the houses and shops along the way were all closed.
In this city called Cenarion, Ike Bernier's status was equivalent to that of the city's lord. His mansion was also where the city's most powerful forces were gathered.
Thus, when the battle broke out, everyone locked themselves in their homes, not daring to have the slightest bit of curiosity. Even after the ceasefire had been stopped for ten minutes, they only dared to peek through the cracks in the walls and the corners of the windows to see what was happening outside.
But when the black-clothed maid walked to the other side of the street, she saw a man in a gray suit standing in the corner with a pipe in his mouth. She furrowed her brows and looked over. Her cold gaze made the man in gray's already pale face even more unsightly.
"Andre Lee Wildenstein!"
When he said this, the man's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. This was because the black-clothed maid's sword that pierced through the tip of the umbrella was less than three centimeters away from his neck. Just a little bit more and it would have cut open his carotid artery or cut off his head.
He was filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have accepted that mission no matter what. Although the commission was very generous, as high as three hundred thousand gold duns, this was a mission with frighteningly high risks.
But those who dared to risk their lives to accept this mission naturally had extraordinary courage. Although the maid's blade almost pierced through his skin, he still spoke clearly, "Atlanta's Andre Lee Wildenstein asked me to ask you, are you going back or not?"
"Young Master Mochen?"
Robert Yvonne's eyes were dazed. Then, he retracted the blade of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. "Please tell Young Master Mochen that I will return to his side, but not now."
The middle-aged man couldn't help but let out a long sigh, knowing that his life was saved.
"There's one more thing that someone asked me to tell you. The various powers on the continent of Antoria have already allied together to eliminate you. If this alliance is formed, there will be at least four Legends participating. "
"Understood!"
Robert bowed to the middle-aged man. "Thank you for your reminder."
When the maid in black opened the umbrella and walked into the rain, the middle-aged man, who was a private detective, suddenly lost all his strength and leaned against the wall behind him.
He thought to himself, what kind of terrifying existence is this? Ignatius of the Church of Light was a Level-19 Holy Knight who possessed these two sacred artifacts. But even though he was a Level-20S Holy Knight, he could not withstand a single strike from Robert Yvonne.
It seemed that this bloody whirlwind that had swept through half of the Anatolian continent would continue to blow here for a while. That maid had the right to do so.
…
"Five and a half new 10,000-ton merchant ships?"
In the Unicorn Apartment, Li Mochen let out a bitter laugh as he looked at Alexandra Kandra who had come to visit again, "Mister Kandra is really sincere."
This person was very sincere. Although he could not get back his father's five armed merchant ships, he provided five and a half new ocean-going container ships. Two of them were 16,000 tons and three of them were 14,000 tons — and they were all modified versions.
Among them, the most modified ones were the two 16,000 ton ships. Not only were their hulls and keels strengthened, but they were also equipped with two 150mm naval cannons in the front and back, two 4x2 missile launchers, three sets of six-barreled 20mm automatic rotary cannons, and a Level-17 ship's magic defense array.
The Sacred Blood Hunters were not giving them away, but they were selling and giving them away. The total price was less than 132 million gold duns, only 50% of the market price. The key was that they could pay in installments. After a year, they would start to repay the debt. There were five installments, and the interest was zero.
According to the deputy leader, these came from a few merchants who could not repay their debts. They were confiscated by the Sacred Blood Hunters and the Cartier Hunting Group as collateral. But as to what the situation was, Li Mochen did not know, and he did not bother to find out.
"But I'm very curious. Can't your hunting group find anyone else? The conditions you offered are so good, and the profits are also amazing. I think there are not many people in America who can reject your invitation. "
"There are many people who want to do business in Anatolia, but there are not many who have the ability and can open up the sea routes in the near future. And most importantly, the problem of trust — "
Alexandra looked helpless. "André, during the war, we need to ensure that our logistics are not controlled by anyone. Do you understand?"
If there were other better options, he did not intend to lower his head here. He had thought that this young man had no other choice, but the explosion of the Xuri Company had made this young man's career in Atlanta a new force to be reckoned with.
But this situation made him even more determined to ask this young man to take over the business.
"But I still don't understand. Why must it be me?"
Li Mochen shook his head. "To be honest, I have never been involved in my father's business before. Now that I know nothing about his connections, I'm afraid I can't help you. "
"You don't have to worry about this. I think we have a good understanding of your father's situation."
Alexandra looked confident. "If you, André, never set foot on the sea, then the connections your father has in Anatolia will naturally disappear with his death. But now, I will remind them. Those who owe your father will return what they owe you sooner or later. Those who have worked with your father will not reject the heir of their former partner, right? Especially those easterners, they pay attention to the fact that after the death of the father, the son will take over. As long as your people appear in front of them, then everything will be fine. "
"The reason why it must be you is that we hope you can come forward and reorganize the United Wings Fleet. In the past two months, two of the leaders of this ship group had died. Now, no one can reorganize this fleet except for you. "
Li Mochen continued to shake his head. "The problem is, even if I want to accept it, I can't find enough reliable crew members."
When Alexandra heard this, there was a hint of joy in his eyes. "That's not difficult, right? I said that I can provide you with an interest-free loan of 50 million gold duns. I think that as long as you have money, you can recruit any kind of talent. "
"That's too little. How many people can you recruit with this?"
Li Mochen shook his head. "I know from what you said that it will be difficult to suppress the situation without three or four 17S who are good at sea, right?"
Alexandra thought for a moment before replying, "Eighty million gold duns, interest free for five years. This is as far as we can go."
He then waved his hand and signaled a woman in silver armor with an oriental face to walk to the sofa.
"This is our Hunter Group's deputy captain, Wang Daina. Although she can't compare to your maid, she is also a level-18 magic hunter. If we reach an agreement, then in the next two years, she will be stationed here as our special agent. You can let her participate in the escort, and you can let her do anything, I mean anything- "
