Barnes looked at the Big Axe Bar with interest as he walked in.

Unlike other Italian bars, the relatively quiet atmosphere was that after entering this place, an undisguised and arrogant noise came to his face. Barnes looked at the dim bar with light lines and saw many familiar faces, which were particularly noticed by the company's intelligence department. He saw many Croto's big men "chiluo" their upper body without any image, fighting with their backs, commenting on the competition unscrupulously, and despising the contestants.

"It's so funny..." Barnes laughed.

Feng Ji Affairs Department, this monster established on the basis of the Privy Council is destined to be an existence that scares the major chaebols and families, but Barnes is different from others.

In addition to the terrifying power, Barnes also saw opportunities.

An opportunity to make the Hansluna family a powerful force in the gaming world in one fell swoop.

After several defeats at POSEIDON, Barnes began to reflect on himself. He suddenly realized that his original idea was too rigid and he should learn more from his enemies. The reason why Captain, King and others were able to keep their movements in the game world was that POSEIDON was standing behind them, so professional players would not just cause trouble for them.

The Hansluna family has no foundation in the gaming world. They need a protector, a protector like POSEIDON. The relationship between professional players and consortiums has always been very subtle, and professional players are more powerful, but they still need money.

There are not many people in this world who are qualified to protect the Hansluna family. Barnes finally tried to go to POSEIDON to release goodwill, which was worth a total of 10 billion yuan, but POSEIODN refused. According to the feedback from the guests, POSEIDON did not even consider it, was not moved, and simply refused.

POSEIDON is not a good partner. Barnes understands this. This is a stinky and hard guy who still holds grudges. He has had a holiday with him, and their cooperation is a dead end.

The establishment of the Fan Affairs Department gave Barnes an opportunity.

He carefully investigated and got results that were very satisfactory to him.

Patrick, a super genius from Turin, a closed disciple of TONY. He had a history of violence when he was a teenager, had an antisocial personality, hated POSEIDON, and now he is the chief of the Fengji Affairs Department, all of this made Barnes very satisfied.

The Fengji Affairs Department received full support from Croto, and the responsibilities of this department are terrible. They even have a professional recommendation quota every year, and they can directly become Croto's professional players without passing the examination in the Discipline Academy. These are things that have never happened to Croto since its founding. If they can become Patrick's partner, many things will be much simpler.

Barnes responded with expectations and confidence in his trip to Italy.

According to his understanding, Patrick is a irritable person. Most ordinary people think that such people are difficult to get along with, but in fact, this is not the case. People with unstable personalities are more likely to be affected and controlled; what is really difficult to get along with are quiet and indifferent guys like POSEIDON, or people like TIGER who look at everything with a scrutiny look. People with bad tempers are not really difficult to get along with.

Barnes was very confident in his charm, and he believed that he could quickly become friends with Patrick and influence it.

Now that Fengji Affairs Department is full of waste, Patrick will always need help. Who in this world thinks he has many friends? What's more, they all like POSEIDON so much.

Barnes was taken into the private room of the Big Axe Bar. The room had a good sound insulation effect. After the door was closed, the noise outside disappeared immediately.

He saw a bald man in a red vest looking at him, and also watched the game, not caring about Patrick he walked in.

Patrick is thinner than he sees in the photos, but also more energetic.

Barnes smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Patrick, I'm glad to see you."

Patrick turned off the live broadcast and turned his head to look at Barnes. He didn't shake his hands, but just squinted his eyes.

Barnes with some embarrassment retracted his hand.

Suddenly he felt that things didn't go as smoothly as he did.

A small setback will not discourage Barnes. For someone like Patrick, from his side, he will definitely be revengeful to the wealthy family. The key to the matter is persuasion.

Barnes believes that POSEIDON is a good entry point.

He sat next to Patrick and said with a smile: "I watched the opening game just now. On the way, I watched it with Tianxun. POSEIDON's performance was a big loss. This is not his usual self."

Barnes didn't know if it was an illusion, but a depressing smile seemed to appear on Patrick's face.

Soon, Barnes knew that this was not an illusion. Because a big smile bloomed from Patrick's face.

"Yes, it's a big loss." Patrick said lightly: "The pressure from Lin Bo in the league makes him exhausted. KOF will not appear in the league again. He must have been practicing for a long time."

"What's more, he won the final victory. What's the matter if he loses the standard?" Kerry drank beer. For some reason, he didn't like this guy who smiled very brightly. The Hansluna family was registered in the Fengji Affairs Department. They were real nobles, and they were different from the kind of little nobles who were disguised.

This is a family that can eat people with a graceful manner, and not everyone can do this.

Kerry believes that Barnes is close to Patrick's impure intentions.

"I don't like that guy, I have a holiday with him," Barnes said bluntly.

Patrick poured Barnes a glass of wine.

"I don't like it either." Patrick whispered: "I don't like it very much. Cheers."

After clinking the glasses, Barnes smiled and said, "I came here today to--"

"It's to get close to me and control me." Patrick interrupted Barnes: "You think I'm a guy with a flawed personality, and you, Barnes, have an IQ of 190, have a strong desire to control and are stubborn. You dare to take risks, a business genius, ruthless, Croto's newly established department, the Fengji Affairs Department, what a wonderful thing it would be if you could influence such a department."

Kerry and Barnes were both stunned. But Kerry soon laughed. He suddenly felt that he was quite stupid. Even he could feel that Barnes had ulterior motives. Who is Patrick, how could he not be vigilant?

Barnes didn't expect Patrick to be so direct.

He hates professional players' attitude of talking about conspiracy without any concealment. They are rude, barbaric, and uneducated. Unfortunately, he has no final say here, so he can only endure it.

"Control such words is really ugly." Barnes raised his glass and took a sip of wine. "If you have to say that... Patty, you have to know that humans are social creatures, and we need each other's help. In the process of living together, there will always be part of the rule of another person. This is the game of human beings. You are in power now, and I think you can understand the meaning of this. If we can be closer, who controls whom, this is something that is unsure. After all, the better person always controls other people, right?"

"Well, it makes sense." Patrick nodded in appreciation: "This is what POSEIDON and I are now. We can't control each other. So we barely work together, but we pass by each other, and we don't know each other like passers-by. So, well, these words are still very knowledgeable, and we deserve to be a genius with an IQ of 19."

Barnes was stunned for a moment and couldn't handle it.

"Mr. Barnes." The smile on Patrick's face disappeared. "Actually, I wanted to see you a long time ago."

Barnes was stunned.

"You are here today, and it seems that I don't need to send my men to France to ask you to meet you." Patrick smiled: "I need to ask you a few questions. If the Feng Ji Affairs Department has questions about your answer, it may impose sanctions on the Hansluna family. So please answer truthfully."

Barnes's face became gloomy. He understood what Patrick meant. Isn't this just trying to interrogate the prisoner?

"I came with kindness, Mr. Patrick," Barnes felt the situation begin to fall out of his control, and he flatly rejected Patrick's request: "But now it seems that the Clotos are not friendly, and today you should just pretend that I have not been here."

As he said that, Barnes was about to get up and leave.

"You rejected me," Patrick said gently.

"I can't agree to yours." Barnes replied stiffly, his hand was already on the door. The next moment, he felt his neck being held by a favorable hand. The hands suddenly increased their strength. Barnes felt a pain in the Adam's apple, and then a suffocation surged throughout his body.

The strong man in a red vest strangled his throat and threw him back to the sofa.

Barnes's mind was blank. He had been pampering since childhood and did not expect such a thing to happen.

He was beaten up.

No matter how vulgar or uneducated my opponent in the past, no one dared to punch and kick him. To Barnes's opinion, such a thing as being beaten is too strange and unimaginable.

But now he was thrown on the sofa in the Big Axe Bar, and the strong man looked at him with mockery and contempt.

Barnes felt that he had lost the ability to think.

"Your mental state is not suitable for questioning," Patrick chuckled, "It seems that I have to provide you with psychological counseling. You young masters who have been pampered since childhood are really... I have been in office for two weeks. One of them needs psychological counseling, and one of them needs psychological counseling. Do you know how annoying you are? Well, maybe you don't realize this at all."

Patrick shook his head: "I want to tell me that the old godfather is still too indulgent to POSEIDON. When POSEIDON forced his way into the Fire Palace and finally escaped unscrupulously. This incident really gave countless people the courage to fight Cloto, as if we were a charity - Mr. Barnes, before you came to the Big Axe Bar today, you never thought that you were alone to the base camp of a black (harmonious) society?"

Barnes gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"And you dare to reject me." Patrick sneered: "There are quite a few people in this world who are qualified to reject me. You, you are definitely not one of them."

"You're illegal!" Barnes shouted angrily.

"Of course it's illegal." Patrick said: "Why do you think the Clothing Party is called a gangster? It's because we do these illegal things." As he said that, Patrick waved to Kerry.

Kerry knew it, pinched Barnes' neck and raised him in front of Patrick, who drew a sharp knife.

"Don't move, Mr. Barnes, I won't kill you." Patrick whispered: "Although, if I want to kill you, you will never be able to see the sun tomorrow, but I will have a little trouble myself. You are not worthy of my doing this. I want to teach you some lessons to let you understand the consequences of saying no to me. I have a premonition that we will meet again in the future, so when you reject me in the future, you will think twice before you can do it."

Barnes struggled desperately, but he was held tightly by Kerry and could not move. He could only watch Patrick walk in front of him with a knife.

"What are you going to do!" Barnes could no longer control his fear and shouted.

"Psychological counseling begins." Patrick said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
