After ending the conversation among the members of the Taoist temple, Victor returned to the material world and took a peaceful vacation. He didn't do anything. He just stayed at home and lay down, waiting for someone to visit him.
One day, he was reading quietly in his study, with an iron basin holding charcoal fire at his feet, a blanket covering his body, and a warm breath enveloped his whole body.
Next to it is the window. Through the glass, you can see the garden outside. There are some flowers and trees in the garden. The carriage is in the middle of two lush sycamores. The door is open, and you can see Eredin's bare feet dangling with slippers between them.
.
This woman lives in that small space every day and barely shows up. Is she plotting some conspiracy secretly?
As long as Victor is at home, he will always watch over there to prevent the female witcher from causing any trouble for him.
It's not a problem to stay in his house like this all the time. He has to find an opportunity to send her away.
Bang! Bang!
While Victor was thinking, there was a knock on the door and it was Will who came in.
He looked a little surprised, and after closing the door, he told Victor: "It's Mike Campino, he wants to see you."
finally come!
Victor was very happy and asked Will to call Mike in.
After the other party was invited into the study, Victor asked him to sit down in front of the bookshelf. Will was about to leave, but was stopped by Mike.
"We need you to stay. You have to participate in the things we are about to discuss."
Will was stunned on the spot. After seeing Victor nodding, he stayed and sat across from the glass coffee table.
Mike didn't hang up his gloves and coat in the entrance hall. It looked like he wouldn't stay long.
Permis served tea to the guests. She did not dare to look at Will, nor was she curious about the reason why Victor was sitting here.
After the maid left, Mike said straight to the point: "I believe you already know the reason for my visit, Mr. Victor."
Victor picked up the tea and took a sip, but found that Permis had only prepared two teacups, and his deacon's was obviously not among them, so he raised his eyebrows and put down the teacups as if nothing had happened.
"Of course, I heard that you have a business that you are looking for cooperation with."
Mike didn't hide anything and said directly: "It's the Frenzy Fire. We need to go to the Western Continent to transport it here and take action."
Fanatical Fire?
Will's face was filled with shock. He remembered what Victor had asked him to do before.
"You just need to know that that thing is extremely valuable." Mike thought Will didn't understand, so he simply explained to him.
Will glanced at Victor, swallowed his saliva and said, "It was shipped here from the Western Continent. Do you want to use our smuggling route?"
Mike tapped his index finger on the table: "Exactly, take advantage of the transportation of the next batch of goods and send that thing to Renekton."
Will was a little overwhelmed and asked in panic: "This is too risky. First of all, we don't know how much that batch of goods actually weighs."
Mike held his chin and replied with a slightly guessing tone: "It shouldn't be too heavy, maybe it's just a box."
However, before seeing the real thing, Mike actually couldn't determine how many "goods for sale" the writer planned to provide.
Victor has never used anti-death items, but he believes that since it is a plant, as long as it is not a tree, it will not weigh much.
Abigail originally said that the entire pool was covered with growth, so after a little estimation, she had a rough idea in her mind.
And for the first batch of goods, Abigail probably won’t put all the money on it. She’ll probably get a few copies to test the waters. If it can really bring her a lot of wealth, the subsequent cooperation can proceed smoothly.
.
But Will was not willing to buy it. First of all, he did not understand the value of the Zealot Fire and felt that it would probably occupy their space for smuggling steel. Secondly, he also said a very important point - the people in charge of ocean transportation are all Iraqis.
Captain S. Ben's men had no way of placing their own men on the Greycove.
In other words, even if the other party bypasses Rockefeller's inspection after delivering the goods on the ship, it will still be discovered by Isben's people, and it will be unclear at that time.
"If the thing is particularly large, we won't be able to get it on the boat at all, let alone whether it is worth anything. Even if it is really valuable, oh no... This is what I am worried about, that is, it is really very valuable.
It’s valuable, if Is Ben’s blood-sucking leech discovers it, he will definitely take it for himself and then kick us all!”
Will looked very excited, and his tone seemed to feel that Victor had stayed behind for too long and had no idea how difficult it was for him to maintain this business line.
Although Victor didn't like this guy's growing ambition, it had to be said that Will did have a business acumen and was indeed protecting Victor's interests.
No one is perfect and can still use each other, and Victor is willing to listen to his advice.
Will's worries are not unreasonable. Although on the surface, the idea of smuggling steel and bypassing Rockefeller Company was theirs, in fact, the biggest controller is still the guy named Is Ben.
The murder of the Progressives caused the death of another owner of the Greycove, causing Isben to acquire all the property rights of the ship. Without this ship, Will's business would face collapse and he wanted to find another owner.
It would be too difficult for the captain or the chamber of commerce to cooperate.
The wild fire that was right in front of him was blocked by an outsider, and Victor felt very unhappy in his heart.
Load the goods at the dock, bypass the censors accompanying Rockefeller Company, unload the goods before entering Port Violet, use fishing boats to deliver the goods to the warehouse on the Cambino family's territory, and sell them to customers...
This process has proven to be flawless, and the key still lies in the staff on board the Greycove.
"Can you give them some benefits and bribe them?" Mike suggested.
"Impossible!" Will retorted decisively, "I have already said that those guys are all Is Ben's people, that ship is his ship, and the crew members are all his cronies, there is absolutely no way they can be bribed."
Victor stared at the branches outside the window. There was a tit chirping on the treetop. Listening to the chirping sound, he suddenly thought of a good plan.
"Since hiding it will arouse Is Ben's suspicion, then... it's better to just tell him directly!"
Hearing this, Will and Mike were shocked at the same time.
Will held the coffee table with both hands, his face turning red.
"Mr. Victor! Do you know how much profit that bastard took from us? Seventy percent of one shipment! The remaining 30% is what we distribute. Maybe that leech is still hiding in the cabin to laugh at us and gossip.
We are maggots eating leftovers!”
"I also think this plan is not feasible..." Mike shook his head, "As we have discussed just now, it is difficult to guarantee that Isben will not be betrayed. You must know that those are anti-death items, which are useful to the seers.
Huge value, maybe far more than the value of our business.”
Victor continued to pick up the tea and said confidently: "Who said we should tell him directly...that we plan to smuggle Zealot Fire? What I mean is, tell him directly that we have a batch of contraband that needs to be put on board, such as...happy nectar
