When He Ao woke up from the hotel bed again, night had fallen.
The [King of Night] in his field of vision was still glowing faintly.
[Do you want to use two redemption stars to exchange for one day’s use of ‘King of Night’? (The redemption stars you can currently use: 0)]
The use time of the character card has ended, and it seems that the price will increase after the second use.
Before the end of the character card, He Ao said goodbye to his old housekeeper Danilo and Lina, and lay back in the life support cabin.
Regarding 'Vian's' life status, both Danilo and Lina tacitly avoided asking questions.
To them, how Wei An woke up was not important, what was important was the result of waking up.
As long as I wake up once, there will be a second and third time in the future.
He Ao stood up from the bed and looked at the night scene outside the window.
He raised his hand and glanced at the time.
Roger and Aini should have arrived in Kaya City by this time.
The plan to transport the transport plane to Limen City was affected by Star Pharmaceuticals and was not approved. In the end, Roger and Aini's transportation was replaced by an airship owned by the Nolanka Group. During the flight, they had to bypass the sphere of influence of Star Pharmaceuticals.
, the travel time is greatly extended.
However, He Ao had already arranged the follow-up matters for the two of them before the character card usage time expired, so this had little impact.
The mercenary groups from both Nolanka Group and Qunxing Pharmaceutical have arrived near Fortress City No. 146.
The two mercenary groups are currently facing off at the traffic artery outside Fortress City No. 146.
The eyes of the entire federation are gathered there.
There has not been an open war between large consortiums in the Federation for many years, and this sudden incident interrupted the rhythm of many people.
The inquiry letter from the Federal Presidential Palace had been sent to the Nolanka Group's board of directors long before Heao returned.
The Federation strictly prohibits armed warfare between consortiums.
Qunxing Pharmaceutical has most likely received the same inquiry letter.
Regarding this inquiry letter, He Ao asked the spokesperson to hold a press conference before leaving, and once again emphasized that this time was just a 'drill'.
The Nolanka Group has no intention of creating any armed conflict.
In response to this 'claim', Qunxing Pharmaceutical also held a press conference to respond, stating that the Nolanka Group had 'crossed the boundaries of activities drawn between major mercenary groups and entered the Qunxing mercenary group without permission.
The defense range has seriously threatened the normal commercial trade of the Qunxing Pharmaceutical Caravan.'
Nolanka Group denied Qunxing Pharmaceutical’s statement on the limits of its activities, and cited the federal Mercenary Act to say that all licensed mercenary groups are obliged to help emerging cities clean up nearby exotic beasts and maintain security around the city.
.
This bill does exist, but there is no profit, and no consortium is willing to send out its own mercenary group to help others clean up the alien beasts.
Generally speaking, the consortium that belongs to the mercenary group that helps to garrison the newly built city will get some of the city's policy preferences, gain an advantage in the early competition, and even gain a monopoly position.
Although Qunxing Pharmaceutical has put City 146 into its sphere of influence very early, it rarely contributes to the construction and garrison of City 146. The security of the entire city during the construction period basically relies on the direct control of the federal central government.
Made possible by the military.
In short, Qunxing Pharmaceutical wants to get on the bus but doesn’t want to buy a ticket.
He Ao took advantage of this legal loophole and sent a mercenary group to Fortress City No. 146 to intervene. He bought the tickets first, gained a legal advantage, and then grabbed seats in the car.
Qunxing Pharmaceutical is naturally unhappy with this kind of predatory behavior, but they cannot provide any reasonable legal basis to prove that they have priority in City No. 146.
We can only directly transfer a wave of mercenary groups back to Fortress City No. 146 to confront the Noranka Group, and then suppress the Noranka Group in other places, relying on violence and power to seize the dominance of this new city.
In fact, this was something that He Ao had anticipated before sending out troops, which was why Danny reminded him that City 146 was within the sphere of influence of Star Pharmaceuticals.
There is no need to obtain any legal basis, as long as he lets out the word and puts this city into his trade circle, other consortiums cannot rob him, otherwise they will face crazy retaliation.
This is the arrogance and arrogance of Qunxing Pharmaceutical, one of the top ten super-large conglomerates in the Federation.
At this moment, Qunxing Pharmaceutical should also be preparing ways to retaliate against Nolanka Group. The longer the delay, the greater the pressure Nolanka Group will bear.
He Ao raised his head and glanced out the window at the Qunxing Pharmaceutical Building in Limen City, took off his coat from the coat rack and put it on his body.
He adjusted his clothes and looked at the thin and tall middle-aged man in the hotel's full-length mirror.
He opened his coat slightly and stared at the test tubes neatly arranged in the coat.
There are nineteen life potions and thirteen D-level strengthening potions in the underground safe of the research institute. Zaidi has six C-level strengthening potions on his body. At the beginning, he also obtained three life potions on Shadow.
So he now has a total of twenty-two life potions, thirteen D-level strengthening potions, and six C-level strengthening potions.
He put these medicines in test tube bags stuck inside his coat.
Originally, he planned to wait for Aini to leave before going back to get his coat, but unexpectedly, Aini brought it out for him.
The number of reagents was not wrong, and Aini would not touch his things at will.
The dagger and bayonet were also pinned inside the coat.
He stared at the man in the mirror.
From now on, he is alone again.
He walked to the door, took off his bowler hat from the coat rack, and placed it gently on his head.
His initial purpose was never to seize the market in City 146.
Among the armed forces of Qunxing Pharmaceutical near Fortress City No. 146, only the mercenary group stationed outside Limen City is the closest and can rush to City No. 146 in a short time to form a confrontation with the Nolanka Group mercenary group and stop Nolanka
Group actions.
As this confrontation unfolds, the attention of the entire federation will be drawn to the vicinity of City 146 by He Ao. Even the central government of the federation will be attracted by this struggle.
And for some people, this is the best time.
He Ao slowly opened the hotel door and left the room.
The role of the [King of Night] character card is not only to allow him to experience Wei An's life again in a short period of time, but also to allow him to use his previous achievements in a limited time to mobilize a large amount of resources for layout.
Ability.
He was still alone, but not alone.
The hotel elevator descended quickly, and with a crisp sound, the elevator door slowly opened.
Directly in front of this hotel is the magnificent Star Pharmaceutical Building.
He Ao could see the tallest building in the building through the transparent glass wall filled with dazzling lights.
Originally there were two Class Bs in this city, but now there is only one.
Ho walked out of the hotel building.
The moment he left the hotel lobby, he felt a certain moist feeling in the air.
Limen City is not far from the Storm Sea, and the overall humidity is relatively high, but the humidity He Ao feels at this moment is much higher than the humidity he remembered before.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky. The moon and stars in the sky were dim, and gray clouds covered the sky.
These clouds reflected the diffuse light under the flickering neon lights, slowly covering the city.
He Ao stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful in the void.
The moist breath flowed away from his fingers. The air was so moist that it seemed as if water droplets could condense in the void.
People coming and going on the street seemed not to notice the changes in the air. They were either in a hurry, laughing or cursing, and moved in the increasingly dense clouds.
He Ao straightened his clothes and walked slowly along the sidewalk.
"dad!"
There was a shout from behind.
He Ao stopped and turned to look behind him.
A girl of twelve or thirteen years old, who looked like she was in middle school, was lying in front of the shiny display window, staring at the beautiful little cakes inside.
"What's wrong?"
A man in an old coat slowly came from behind and stood behind the girl. He saw the small cake in the window through her daughter's sight.
He reached out and touched Qiu Qiu's coat pocket.
"Look at this cake, it's so beautiful."
The girl stared at the cake in the window, the bright light reflected in her pearl-like eyes, and the crystal clear colors constructed the world in her eyes.
"Want to eat?"
The man behind him glanced at the electronic price tag in the window, fumbled in his coat pocket, raised his palm, and slowly revealed the corners of several crumpled banknotes.
"I don't want to eat it," the girl immediately turned around and glanced at the man with a smile, "I can do this too,"
She put her hands behind her back and skipped forward, "Dad, let me tell you, I have just learned how to make a small cake. Although it is not as pretty, it is definitely more delicious than this one."
The man glanced at his daughter's back, then at the beautiful display window, smiled wryly, and put back his half-stretched hand.
He kept up with his daughter.
"Dad, you don't believe it if you don't speak," the girl said with a smile, "then buy me bread flour, I will make it for you in the morning, I have taken care of it,"
She drew a circle in front of her, "Five yuan for a big bag."
"so cheap?"
The man asked pretending to be surprised.
"That is!"
The girl smiled and pinched the white corners of her washed clothes.
······
He Ao withdrew his gaze, turned around and continued walking forward.
The humidity in the air was getting higher and higher, and the moisture brought a slight icy chill to He Ao's cheeks.
The number of pedestrians on the street gradually became less and less, and the dim yellow street lights shone in the misty clouds, blurring people's sight.
He Ao stopped.
He suddenly remembered that he had not eaten for a day.
He put his hand into his pocket, preparing to find a fast food restaurant to buy some food.
And the moment he put his hand into his pocket, his movements paused.
He took out a small, somewhat deformed box from his coat pocket.
It was a small cake with simple packaging, and it was written with a signature pen on the box,
[Silly dad, remember to eat.]
There will be another update later, and this is for the daytime.
