169 No Evil in the World
Chen Xiansong listened, just listened, he was very calm. As a child who was spoiled by new humans in the 22nd century, he was kind and innocent, which is a good quality, but in this world, if such quality is too much, it will become a burden. It may not only harm oneself, but also harm one's own relatives and friends.
Chen Xiansong understood this, so he was trying to change it as much as possible. If he had just left the surface and heard this, he might be anxious and shocked. But now he could sit quietly and just smile easily: "Your Excellency is really a joke. I don't make enemies with others easily, so someone will harm me. In addition..." Chen Xiansong looked at him and suddenly changed his mind and said, "This is my second time to come to Emperor Moon City... It is also the first time I met you. You all know my name. I don't know your name yet. I am really sorry."
"You came here but didn't ask for my name?" The middle-aged man seemed surprised. He was silent for a moment and smiled: "It's so interesting. Your person is quite interesting. My name is Ricardo, and I am the current patriarch of the Izesen family. The underground black market is the industry left by my grandfather. Of course, the association also has a considerable say in it."
Chen Xian smiled and said, "This is a good place."
"It's indeed a good place. I think so too, I'll accept your noble words." Ricardo smiled and continued: "Sitting in this position, what we pay most attention to is intelligence. What happened to the royal city and what happened to the association. We all need to know that although the underground black market claims to be brave enough to trade anything, in fact, there are some things that are too sensitive and we really don't dare to let it flow into the association."
With his eyebrows slightly raised, Chen Xiansong asked, "Aren't the Dragon Clan still sensitive?"
It seemed that he guessed that Chen Xiansong would ask this question, and Ricardo just chuckled: "Maybe sensitive, or maybe not. The dragon clan is indeed very powerful, but the dragon clan rarely appears before us. Whether the dragon clan will cause trouble by buying and selling the dragon clan has to try it out before you know, you said yes."
Chen Xiansong gently tapped his finger on the table. After a while, he asked: "How much tax did you draw from this business?"
"Not too much." Ricardo leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair: "The association has paid you three thousand gold coins, which cannot be counted as the transaction amount. Our sharp gold is one hundred draws. In addition, we have to give one to the association, so our family has only received about one hundred gold coins, which is not too much."
Chen Xiansong fixed the food on the table... He contributed 100 gold coins to the other party a day alone. There are so many customers in the underground black market, and the transaction volume is definitely not much lower. Just estimate the turnover here and the daily income. It may be calculated based on "ten thousand".
From childhood to adulthood, Chen Xiansong has no worries about food and clothing. He has not had a big idea of money, but he is not stupid. He knows how much impact the money will have over time and after a certain period of time.
"It seems that your family is already rich enough to rival a country." Chen Xiansong sighed.
Ricardo smiled again. He did not deny or admit it, but judging from his complacent expression, Chen Xiansong should not have guessed correctly.
Chen Xiansong has heard of this saying: huge amounts of money can swell people's desires and eventually make people do crazy things. Now he finally knows why he always feels that the other party is harsh when he looks at Ricardo. Ricardo has too much money, and may even be much richer than the entire royal family, so the other party feels that everything he sees is not as good as himself. He even thinks that the whole country may belong to him, and he may even think that he can buy anything with money.
Ricardo saw Chen Xiansong thinking deeply, thinking that he was frightened by his wealth, and felt very satisfied. A few days ago, he read Chen Xiansong's detailed report and thought that this was a talent, but he was still young now. When he was mature and a few years older, it would not be too late to win over him.
This time, Rikarl saw Chen Xiansong and had something else to do: "Just talk about this, Your Excellency, what I said just now is no joke. I did receive a very important news for you. As far as you are a new member, it would be okay to give it to you for free."
This sentence was a bit like giving. Chen Xiansong didn't care. He said, "Your Excellency, you can't be in a square without rules. Forget about free things, you'd better come to you as you should."
Ricardo smiled and looked at it, looking weird: "Okay, since you say that, I will follow the rules. This news is very important, at least I think so, so you must pay the corresponding reward."
"Please say it."
Ricardo looked at Bai Min, his eyes fell on her ears, and said, "I heard that you have obtained an ancient relic, which is very beautiful. It must be what Ms. Bai Min wears now. I want to use this news to exchange for this heart-wrenching treasure. I wonder if you can give up."
In Chen Xiansong's eyes, human life is more important than external things. However, when he turned around and saw Bai Min, who had no expression on his face, he was stunned for a moment, then turned around and sighed: "Your Excellency, this is a bit difficult. Can you change to other conditions, such as gold coins or something?"
"Do you think I'm like a person who is short of money?" Ricardo asked back.
It's really different, operating such an underground black market, money is really just a number for Rika. Chen Xiansong also felt that he was abrupt. He rarely talked to such people, so he had to think about it for a while and said, "That's what other things are, such as technology."
"Technology?" Ricardo thought about the word for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I have a lot of knowledge in my conception, and I don't have much time to implement it one by one. Let's forget it. You, why don't I add more money and 20,000 gold coins in this way?"
Chen Xiansong shook his head. It was not that he didn't want to, but that Bai Min liked it very much. He didn't want to take it away again, which disappointed Xiao Min.
"Thirty thousand." Ricardo looked at him with a smile.
"Fifty thousand." Ricardo's expression became cold.
Chen Xiansong still shook his head.
"Seventy thousand." Ricardo's expression became very cold.
At this time, Chen Xiansong stood up: "Your Excellency, I remembered that I still have something to leave first."
After saying this, he left directly, Bai Min and the little guy followed, leaving Ricardo alone in the room.
It seemed that he had not expected such a result. Ricardo was stunned for a while, then reacted and slapped the table hard, and the quill on it was shaken to the ground. After a few breaths, he shook the golden bell on the table. After a few seconds, a man in black robe came in outside the door.
"Go to inform Scarlet that when he was in action at night, he caused some accidents and killed Chen Xiansong in that hotel." Ricardo thought for a while and continued, "By the way, I cleaned up the old man, I secretly killed his students. He will definitely be anxious with me in the future. Keeping it is a trouble, so I will clean it up."
The man in black robe bent over and said, "Master, there is a famous Sun God servant behind him, we are no opponents."
Ricardo took out a copper key from the drawer and threw it into the black-robed man's hand: "Let's open the warehouse and handed the seven crystal breaking crossbows to Scarl. In addition, he would also tell him that the jewelry worn by the Sun God servant must be kept. Since I have seen such a treasure, it cannot be left to others."
The man in black robe took the order and left.
Not long after, another man in black robe walked in outside. He walked quickly and closed the door as soon as he entered the room, then removed his mask and exposed a childish young man's face.
"Father!" The young man held his hands heavily on the desk: "I heard you were going to deal with Chen Xiansong. He had a sun god servant beside him. At such a critical moment tonight, why did something else happen? What if..."
"Child, don't worry." Ricardo's expression softened, and the mean smell disappeared without a trace: "I was very sure that I did this. Even if they couldn't kill Chen Xiansong, it would not have any impact on our plans. You just need to continue to hide your identity until your father takes over the association and sits on the throne. At that time, you can express your identity in surprise, worship, and envy everyone."
"But does this have anything to do with you wanting to kill Chen Xiansong?"
"You should know that I have more than ten lovers, thirteen sons and nine daughters." Ricardo smiled: "Of all these children, you are the only one who inherits the talent of a soul-thoughtman. Like me, there are many peers who have worked hard to give birth to offspring, but few of them have succeeded. I am very lucky to have you."
"But I found a strange reality." Ricardo's expression turned serious: "Our president, Artemis, her grandmother is a soul-thinker, her mother is a soul-thinker, and so is she, and they all have one thing in common, both are blonde and golden-eyed women."
"Isn't President Artemis an orphan?" The boy's face looked strange.
"Hey, so our president is hiding very deeply. Think about it, an orphan, no matter how talented he is, why should he be our president?" Ricardo smiled: "She has a strong power behind her, and I extremely suspect that there is a special bloodline in her family that can inherit the qualities of a soul-thinking person."
"But what does this have to do with Chen Xiansong."
"I will not kill her after we succeed." Ricardo smiled: "I will let the president be your wife, and you will also be the one who will hold the most power in the future. For this reason, an earth-shaking wedding gift is essential. Such a precious gift can only be left in our house, and only your future wife can own it."
The boy had seen Artemis, his face turned a little red and he was also a little excited.
