The spacious and clean hall has numerous high-power LED lights at the top that illuminate the entire space like daylight.

In the center is a huge round table. Other than that, there are no extra decorations, not even a small potted plant.

At this time, there were only two people sitting in front of the huge round table. One of them could easily tell his background from the military uniform on his body, and the other was a very strong old man, probably in his sixties, with some gray hair.

His hair was slicked back, most of the cigar in his hand had been smoked out, and his brows were deeply knitted together.

"Modeng, we need your help this time, and only you, as the president of the Association of Superpowers, can mobilize all the superpowers. Don't worry, the military feels that the compensation that should be paid will satisfy everyone.

"

The man in military uniform spoke very sincerely. With the military rank on his shoulders now, there are probably not many things that can make him be so humble. This shows how much importance he attaches to summoning people with powers.

"Dear General William, it's not like you don't know that the Superpower Association, as an organization, has a very loose structure. Even though I was elected as the president, there is actually no reporting relationship for everyone.

Since your military can bring out more benefits than before, it can just issue the mission as usual. As for my participation or not, it doesn't have much impact."

After talking about this, it was actually very obvious that the modern old man refused. He didn't know the mission that the military was going to carry out this time.

It sounds nice that he is cooperating with the military ground troops to search for Zhang Jinlong, a genetic doctor who may be hiding in the Gulf of Mexico. In fact, he has already learned from other channels that not only will the Chinese Hidden Dragon Club send a large number of ancient warriors, but there will also be some from Russia.

Druid is involved, and even R will make the few Onmyoji come out.

It is precisely because of this that even if the military of Country M releases a high bounty, only a few superpowers will participate. In the final analysis, whether it is a Druid Onmyoji or an ancient Chinese warrior, the reason why they do not hesitate to do this is

They are all manifestations of the will of the country.

But Western superpowers are different. They only belong to themselves, and only sufficient interests can drive them. As for the sense of belonging to the country, I'm sorry, it is really difficult to have this kind of feeling in country M.

"Earl Modern, don't think that we don't know. The reason why we didn't see many applicants after we released the mission is because you are obstructing it.

Ha...you are too naive, do you really think that the fifty pieces of chalcedony spirit promised by Huaxia Hidden Dragon are so easy to get?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Modeng's entire face turned livid, and his eyes suddenly stared at General William.

Seeing how weak he was, William immediately changed his face and said jokingly:

"Haha... don't be nervous. In terms of intelligence, the CIA is still very good.

I won’t beat you around the bush. We still have some evidence regarding the misappropriation of Rothschild family funds over the years. The country only needs you to issue a unified call to the entire association members to eliminate the doubts that have arisen about this mission in everyone’s minds.

Just worry about it. As for the fifty pieces of chalcedony spirit that the Chinese promised you, we can turn a blind eye."

Crackling...

I saw the blue arc flashing in the hand of the modern old man, and half of the cigar was burned to ashes in an instant.

"In fact, the military does not want to make the relationship between us so tense. Considering the sincerity I showed when I first came here, please accept the most sincere apology from me, Williams!"

I think Mr. Modern is a smart man and will make the right choice."

In fact, the modern old man has no choice now. First of all, he never thought that his conversation with Long Xiaofeng would be eavesdropped. Furthermore, evidence was obtained that he had embezzled a large amount of family funds to his daughter's company during this period. The former

It's not a big deal. With the Rothschild family as the backing, it's not enough to be accused of treason. If the latter is found out, then the matter will be very serious. By then, it will be more than just treason. In the end

, the modern old man had no choice but to compromise with Williams.

Another cigar was lit again, and smoke curled up from his mouth. He sat there for two full hours, and it was not until night fell that there were footsteps approaching outside.

Button button...

"My lord, it's getting late, and you haven't had your dinner yet."

The old servant who looked like a butler reminded softly outside the door.

Modern dusted off the cigarette ashes and rubbed his temples with a headache. In fact, he didn't care much about the life and death of those guys in the Superpower Association. The reason why he hindered them was more because of the fifty pieces of chalcedony spirit promised by Huaxia.

Because of his spirit. As for the misappropriation of family funds, if he has the shame to ask his daughter for help, it is just a little data, and it is not difficult to modify it. But in that case, his daughter will know that his father has gone bankrupt, and when necessary

He went so far as to misappropriate public relations to support her. This is the most unacceptable thing. He has been omnipotent in the eyes of his daughter since she was a child. What's more, now is the period when the careers of her daughter and son-in-law are on the rise. I must not do that.

Revealing the truth will make people look down on you, especially the trouble that will come from the family. It would not be good if your son-in-law is also looked down upon by others.

"Ah, what time is it now?"

"Your Majesty, it's almost ten o'clock."

"It's so late! Where is Elena? Invite her to eat together."

"Your Excellency, Miss Elena has gone to the auction. Do you need me to pick her up?"

"Forget it, let's go pick it up together and then have something to eat."

The modern old man took another deep puff of his cigar, wondering if he had to take action once and just kill Williams. He had acted so cowardly just now, but now that he looked back, he felt that the thoughts in his mind were particularly unreasonable.

"It's still wrong. The military is not a fool. No matter how clean it is, it will always find something to implicate itself. Ah, no matter what! Let's call my precious daughter. Didn't she say she would be back at the end of the month?

Is it a trip..."

The modern old man started to think casually again as he got older. The old servant behind him had long been used to his master's state, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but went downstairs to prepare the car...

At the auction, everyone's attention was drawn to Zhang Xiaofan at the back of the hall. Apart from pity, they looked like an idiot. But when they thought that the other person had a face from Zhang Huaxia, their hearts brightened.

.

It’s understandable that outsiders don’t know the rules. Otherwise, no local would bid with Miss Elena. Wouldn’t that mean that the birthday boy would hang himself and seek death?

The reason why the bidding was so lively just now was because Miss Elena had taken a liking to this jade pendant before the auction started. The organizer was so happy that she wanted to offer it with both hands, but in order to maintain the so-called aristocratic pride,

I still want to buy it normally at auction.

People want to save face, but the organizers can't take it seriously. In order not to overdo it, the original cost price of the jade pendant was more than one million yuan, so they directly lowered it to 800,000 yuan and asked a few of their own people to raise the price to the same as the cost price.

It's even, so I'm just waiting for Miss Elena to bid. But I didn't expect that someone would dare to increase the price even if they risk their lives.

At this time, Smith saw that the person bidding was Zhang Xiaofan, and the expression on his face was wonderful. The pair of round little eyes winked at each other without interruption, but he couldn't get any response.

"Two million and two million..."

Seeing Elena increasing the price again, and there was no sign of displeasure, the fat man beside him couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he also noticed that Yao Bing was looking at him, thinking that this would be the case.

But before he could even breathe out, he heard Zhang Xiaofan raise his hand again.

"Two million two hundred and fifty thousand..."

"Oh my god, these two idiots. Do they still want to get in touch with the Mexican gang? Are they crazy to compete with the boss's favorite woman for a jade pendant?"

Smith was so anxious that he cursed his mother, and his whole face was distorted from the constant hints.

"Two and a half million..."

At this time, Elena's tone clearly had a hint of anger. Modern Rothschild is the underground king of the entire Texas. Since becoming his woman, no one in Austin has dared to be like this.

Go against her.

At this time, Smith could no longer sit still. Before Zhang Xiaofan could raise his hand, he trotted over with three steps at a time.

But Zhang Xiaofan ignored this. He just wanted to get the Pisces pendant back, and he couldn't care about anything else. Seeing that the other party directly shouted the price to 2.5 million, this guy raised his hand again without even thinking.

Smith, who was far away, saw that the opponent's arms were about to be raised, and he quickened his steps in a hurry. However, he tripped over the chair next to him and fell to the ground with a loud thud. He weighed more than two hundred kilograms of fat.

He just knocked on the steps and almost couldn't catch his breath.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan's hand that he wanted to raise was pressed down by Yao Bing beside him.

"What are you doing! I'm not hungry for grandpa's relics. I have to take it down!"

After breaking free from Yao Bing, Zhang Xiaofan wanted to raise his hand again.

"Wait a minute, who said you have to buy it to get it back! It's more than two million US dollars, and that's not how you spend money!"

Yao Bing quickly reminded in a low voice. With his crooked thinking, he might have wanted to wait until the auction was over to get both the person and the jade pendant back.

"Don't make trouble, you can't lose this jade pendant. Not to mention more than two million, you have to buy it for ten times more!"

After saying this, Zhang Xiaofan's hands tried to break free again.

"Aren't you stupid? You have so much money! If you pay ten times as much, that's ten farts!

He put his hand down and let the woman buy it. Judging from her status in Austin, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to lose the jade pendant.

Let's follow after everyone disperses. With our skills, it's easy to climb over a wall and steal a jade pendant. Is there any need to spend the unjust money and offend others?"

Yao Bing's voice was very low, and it was still in Chinese. However, Smith, who was still thrown not far away, listened. After hearing this, the fat man, who had some knowledge of Chinese, originally wanted to struggle to stand up.

, but in the end he just pretended to be seriously injured and fainted.

He had to faint. The records of the two guys in front of him were well-known in the mercenary world. He would never dare to report to the big boss, so selectively fainting himself was the most correct way at present.
