On the gloomy and dark river, through the slightly chilly mist, the shallow moonlight fell on the Thames.
Wieskerut Street is a famous food street in London. Not only various domestic specialties will appear on this street, but also delicacies from all over the world will appear here. It has received unanimous praise at home and abroad.
Even during the war, specialty snack bars from various countries were still open on this street. It was one of the few unspoiled blocks in London. I heard that the background of this street was very deep. As for how deep, Chu Long didn’t know
knew.
Chu Long went ashore at an undamaged stone step near the river on Westkrut Street.
Standing on the shore, Chu Long looked at the black market steamships that gradually disappeared into the fog through the weak street lights, like ghost ships hiding in the darkness in the dark night.
Viskerut Strasse is different from other neighborhoods in that there are bars and restaurants open even at midnight.
There are no beggars in the entire block, day or night, and there are no black industries. The only businesses open are restaurants and bars. The deepest impression the block gives people throughout the day is that it is endlessly memorable and popular. Anyone who has been to London
There is no one who doesn’t know Wieskrut Street. No matter you are a foodie or not, as long as you have been here, there will be an indelible impression deep in your memory.
This is the second time Chu Long has come to Wiskerut Street. The first time he came was with Corporal Linn, but that was during the day. After having lunch, he left quickly. The biggest impression left on Chu Long was
Honey pine nut tart is so delicious!
As a dessert, it has an endless aftertaste and is really unforgettable. Even people like Chu Long who are not very interested in sweets can still remember it fresh.
Without staying too much, Chu Long left the food street and returned to his room in the hotel. Corporal Lin En was out for something, but he didn't run into him.
Lying in bed, my brain is like a video recorder that is rapidly replaying all my experiences tonight. The first time I entered the black market, the first time I inquired about information, the first time I participated in an auction...
He experienced countless firsts in one night. Even though he had vague memories deep in his mind, Chu Long knew that those experiences did not belong to this world. What he saw and heard tonight was real.
of.
My auction tonight can be said to be a surprise and a joy. To my surprise, the treasure in the auction almost failed to be auctioned. Not only did I have to pay a handling fee, but I also achieved nothing, and my trip was in vain. Fortunately, there were two "cute" ladies who came to auction for it.
His ignorance paid the price and he successfully auctioned the treasure at a price higher than the market price.
The final price at the auction was £112,000.
According to the handling fee regulations, one-tenth of the handling fee is required, which is 11,200 pounds.
Fortunately, his consumption in Shadow allowed him to obtain a Shadow sub-card, which allowed him to reduce the handling fee for the proceeds from the black market auction.
With the help of the Shadow Sub-card, the handling fee was reduced by one-tenth again, and I finally paid the same hefty handling fee of 10,080 pounds.
At the auction house, I not only sent the bracelet for auction, but also bought another item that almost failed to be auctioned, a mysterious bead.
Since "waking up", Chu Long's physical changes have gradually increased. Not only is his physical fitness several times stronger than that of ordinary people, but his mental state has also undergone different changes every day, which is of course for the better.
The crystal necklace in the photo of John's house gave me a strange attraction, but I was the only one who noticed it.
Others feel nothing.
This special attraction, Chu Long's intuition was related to the physical changes that were different from ordinary people. It was precisely because of the strange attraction of John's crystal necklace that he wanted to understand it and get it.
It is for this reason that Chu Long entered the black market. He wanted to understand the changes in his body. He also wanted to understand why the necklace in the photo gave him a special feeling, even if he used some unfair means.
The bead in the auction house was the second item that gave Chu Long a special feeling since he "awakened". Moreover, it was so close that it was not like the necklace in the photo when viewed through the mirror. It always gave people an unreal feeling.
feel.
He left the venue early, and based on the introduction of the black market guide Bird, he found the mercenary with the highest reputation and the best credibility in the black market.
The Golden Lion Mercenary Group is one of the top five mercenary groups in the empire. They travel in both black and white. They have eliminated political opponents for politicians, eliminated hidden dangers for nobles, and "served justice" for civilians. As long as you have money, they will do it for you.
Solve all problems so that they are no longer worries and live happily every day.
The most important thing is professional ethics. They never take advantage of others.
With blond hair, an angular face, thick eyebrows, and lion-like pupils, he stares at everyone who looks at him. He is the leader of the Golden Lion Mercenary Group, Cook Barton.
The first impression Cook gave people was that he was polite and polite, not at all as rough as his appearance. He took the etiquette of a British gentleman to the extreme, and the polite Chu Long was a little uncomfortable with it.
Cook was very shocked that Chu Long wanted to attack Barclays Bank. There were few forces in the country who dared to openly and openly have bad intentions against Barclays Bank, but this young boy in front of him actually had such courage.
!
No, it’s not courage, it’s madness!
Of course, Chu Long was not crazy. He did not want to have an arm-wrestle with the strongest force in the empire. He was just preparing to direct a drama that would shock the world through the information from the shadows.
Chu Long did not want the Golden Lion mercenary group to attack Barclaine Bank, but he could harass it and make Barclaine Bank angry, forcing those who wanted the ruby necklace to make a decision as soon as possible.
Chu Long knew that basically all well-known mercenary groups had unknown "shadow" existences. There were always some very risky, but surprisingly profitable tasks that would appear in the commissions. Giving them up would ensure the safety of himself and his team.
Worrying about missing a big development at the same time; but if you accept the mission, no matter whether you succeed or not, there is a great possibility that you will be discovered, which will cause you and the mercenary group to fall into a big crisis.
At this time, the "shadows" came into being, and their appearance solved the troubles of the mercenary group leaders. Basically no one knew about their existence except the group leaders. They belonged to neither the mercenary group nor the mercenary group.
, they were all found by the leaders of the mercenary group through various special channels and secretly cultivated. Those with "cannabis"
The "annoying" tasks are usually rejected by the leader of the mercenary group, and then the "shadow" is secretly notified to ask them to contact the employer. It has nothing to do with them from the beginning to the end. If the task is successful, the "shadow" will disappear for a while to avoid the limelight.
Except for a few who were able to hide after their mission failed, most of them embarked on their way to the underworld.
"Shadows" sometimes don't even know who their boss is. Team leaders will hide their identities in various ways, and few shadow members know their boss.
Chu Long was able to learn so much about the inside story of the mercenary world, thanks to his trip to the black market and meeting Bird, a black market guide. When chatting with this guy, he talked about mercenaries. This guy has been hanging out in the black market all year round.
He earns living expenses on the black market. He knows many secret and unknown things.
After hearing Chu Long's plan, Cook declined the deal. However, not long after Chu Long left the Golden Lion Mercenary Group's station, a short, unspectacular guy approached Chu Long.
Said he could help him.
He took Chu Long to a mobile wooden house. There was no one inside. The other party took out a piece of paper without saying anything, which recorded all the information about the task that Chu Long asked Cook to take on.
Even the down payment that needs to be paid is clearly written down.
Chu Long knew at that time that this was the so-called "shadow", otherwise he would not have understood it so clearly. Chu Long thought about it and agreed to let them do it, but he only left five hundred pounds as a deposit. After all,
Don't understand each other.
After leaving each other's contact information, Chu Long left.
As for how the plan is implemented, that is the other party's business.
There is a piece of information in Shadow's intelligence that is not very eye-catching. In half a month from Barclaine Bank, senior executives from the head office will come to inspect. At that time, the security level of the vault will be raised to the highest level. Even bank insiders want to
Access to the treasury requires permission from superiors.
The senior management of Barclain Bank has always attached great importance to security, and every high-level inspection represents an improvement in the security level. This is not good news for some people who have ideas about the treasures in the vault!
so what!
All those who have ideas for gem necklaces or other treasures are running out of time, but fortunately they still have nearly half a month to prepare, so there is still time.
I believe that everyone agrees with this idea, otherwise we would have taken action long ago!
But Chu Long was planning to alert the enemy and force Barclays Bank to increase their security level in advance, catching them off guard and allowing them to act in advance before they had time to prepare.
Chu Long learned from the intelligence that even before the gem necklace entered Barclain Bank, someone was planning a vault. Apparently there were rare treasures in the vault that were attracting the attention of outsiders, but this was different from Chu Long.
It doesn't matter to the dragon, he just wants that "charming" necklace.
We learned through intelligence that there have been a lot of changes at the police station near Barclays Bank in recent times.
Some areas of the police station need to be renovated, and Barclays Bank has donated money to fund the renovation. I heard that this is the latest decision made by the Police Department after a meeting between high-level officials from both sides.
The former top officer of the police station was a senior inspector. He was a little too old. He was already close to sixty years old. In fact, he just celebrated his fifty-fifth birthday a few days ago. The police department wanted to transfer him back because he was too old.
As for the senior inspector, his successor will not be lower than the superintendent this time.
The changes in the police station were only mentioned in the intelligence. The more detailed inside information was not mentioned in the intelligence. However, even if you only have the information in front of you, you can still make use of it.
Through the summary of intelligence, Chu Long can confirm two points:
First, the forces with ill intentions towards the bank's treasure trove have been "checked out" many times. It is believed that the strongholds of the leaders of each force are not far from the bank, making it easy to monitor.
Second, there have not been many police officers stationed at the police station recently. Due to renovations, most of the police officers have been temporarily assigned to nearby police stations, waiting for notification! In addition, the Police Department has not dispatched a new person in charge to take over the police station.
This is Chu Long's opportunity, and it's also an opportunity for everyone who has "ideas" about the treasure house.
