Chapter 402: One Die, Five Hundred Thousand(1/2)
Chapter 402: Five hundred thousand dollars to die (please subscribe!!)
In the era of barbaric development, there are no rules and orders. It does not exist. Only certain people can do what kind of business.
But now we are no longer in a barbaric age, but in a civilized age.
In particular, London is famous as a country of gentlemen.
so……
Some businesses are not accessible to everyone.
Among these businesses, the most exquisite is the military business.
Military orders are a big deal. Even though Stark closed his weapons research and development department, he did not close his business channels with the military.
Even someone as powerful as Stark is unwilling to give up military orders, let alone other companies.
In the City of London, among local companies, those who can do military business must either have a background or have a background.
Merrick is one of them.
Merrick's background is in the House of Commons as a London military supplier.
As for the company where this cool beauty works, their company's background is even tougher than Merrick's.
Merrick relied on the House of Commons, and the beauty company in front of him relied on the House of Lords.
or……
House of Lords.
And it is different from a simple background. The company where this beauty works represents the background. To be precise, the name of this company represents a seat in the House of Lords.
The company this beauty works for is called Crawford.
Full name, Crawford International!
The Butner Arms Company, a subsidiary of Croft International, has been competing with Merrick's company for business over the years. Merrick even had a lot of business taken away from him during the confrontation between the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
While Merrick was angry at the time, he also wondered why Sinister didn't do anything at all, as if he was letting Crawford steal their business.
at the moment?
Merrick understood.
"Bella Miller."
Merrick quickly recovered from the shock, called out the name of the glamorous woman in front of him, and said with some surprise: "I didn't expect that it's you, Ms. Anna Miller, who is here."
But you can tell from the name that the Bella Miller in front of you is a relative of Anna Miller who now controls the Crawford International Group.
The glamorous Bella Miller glanced at the right hand Merrick handed over, ignored it, and said directly: "You should know the purpose of my coming here."
Merrick was not angry when he saw that he was being ignored. After all, he was not really Merrick.
"certainly."
"Where are the people?"
Bella Miller crossed her arms and spoke in a cold tone, as if she had completed a task: "Sir, you want to see them tonight, please give them to me. If you miss your job, you know the consequences."
When Merrick heard this, he seemed to have thought of something, and followed Merrick's reaction and asked, "Do you also know where the manor is?"
When Bella Miller heard this, her eyes were cold, and she shot at Merrick like a sharp sword.
After Merrick said this, he seemed to realize that his reaction was not quite right. He covered his mouth and apologized, and said to the soldiers on the side: "Give them the man."
The soldier nodded.
Merrick then looked at Bella Miller: "Sorry, she's over there."
Bella Miller stared at Merrick for two or three seconds, then snorted coldly, then turned around gracefully, leaving Merrick's office with a group of soldiers behind her, leaving behind a very good smell of perfume.
"Sir, they have passed."
"good."
Half an hour later, the small room where Hawke and others were detained was opened from the outside.
Immediately afterwards, as a cold voice finished speaking, there were footsteps, and then, lying on the floor with his eyes closed to relax, Hawk felt himself being picked up.
The next second.
There was a clang.
Hawke felt as if the back of his head hit some steel plate, and then he heard the muffled sounds of Joe and Nicky's gagged mouths.
quite a while.
With the sound of the van closing, Hawke opened his eyes and found that he, Andy, Joe and others had been thrown into the car.
Chug tug tug.
The engine of the van underneath me started, and soon the tires began to run.
"gentlemen."
Bella Miller's voice on the phone while sitting in the passenger seat was heard by Hawke.
Bella Miller, who was sitting in the passenger seat, grabbed the phone and was reporting the situation to the Red Devil who gave the order: "The target has got in the car and is driving to the manor."
The red devil on the other end of the phone hummed.
Bella Miller seemed to have thought of something and said to the Red Devil: "Sir, just now... Merrick seemed to want to know the location of the boss's manor."
The red devil was slightly startled.
"Merrick?"
"Yes."
Bella Miller applied eye drops to Merrick vigorously: "And it seems that he really wants to know about this matter."
Merrick and Crawford International are obviously in a competitive relationship, and neither one is convinced by the other.
Although Crawford International belongs to Crawford in name, in Bella Miller's view, Crawford International should actually belong to her Miller family.
If it weren't for her aunt Anna Miller, Richard Miller, who was obsessed with archeology and couldn't help himself, would have lost all his family fortune long ago.
Therefore, Bella Miller, who regarded Crawford International as her own property, naturally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to apply eye drops. In case the Sinister side was dissatisfied with Merrick, they would be able to swallow up Merrick Industries.
Yet.
but……
The Red Devil listened to Bella Miller's words, but smiled and said: "That guy Merrick has always been like this. If she knew that you knew the manor without asking, I would doubt him."
Bella Miller was slightly startled.
After the red devil said this, he immediately changed the topic and said: "Don't be so subtle, Bella, I can indulge you, but the boss won't. Complete the task, and the boss and I will wait for you at the manor."
Bella Miller's expression condensed and she nodded quickly: "Yes, I understand."
Finished.
Bella Miller immediately hung up the phone, and immediately after, there was no more sound coming from the cockpit.
After listening to this, Hawke's expression gradually became a little strange.
Crawford.
Bella Miller.
Anna Miller.
George?
Hawke felt that he should be able to connect these clues, but the bumpy journey and the sudden appearance of the female fragrance beside him made Hawke temporarily forget to think.
"Andy?"
"Um."
Andy didn't know when he came to Hawke's side and lowered his voice: "What should we do next? Get out of the car and drive straight away?"
The corner of Hawke's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he looked at Andy without speaking.
Andy frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Hawke shook his head, came back to his senses, and looked at Andy curiously: "Ms. Richards, in your long years, have you learned all the experience in your fists?"
Andy blinked: "You want to say, observe first, and then decide whether to do it or not?"
Hawke nodded: "The normal steps are like this."
Andy shrugged and said, "I know that too, but after observing first, the final result is to start working. After a long time, I feel that it is simpler and saves time to just do it."
Hawke opened his mouth, but for a while he couldn't find a reason to refute the explanation given by Andy.
after all……
