Chapter 0777 - Closing the Deal
The dawn dispelled the darkness, and the pesky magpie reappeared on the branches, chirping.
Giovanna and Stella woke up in unison. The first thing the sisters saw when they opened their eyes was not Charleigh, but Arthur, as well as the Russo sisters, Rosa and Teresa. Arthur and Russo's sisters lay on the couch and didn't wake up.
"What's going on?" Stella slapped her forehead, trying to remember what had happened, but her head was too groggy to remember anything.
"Didn't we sleep with Xia Lei?" Giovanna's eyes were also full of confusion.
What about Xia Lei?
This question is probably the most important thing the Gray sisters want to figure out.
Stella got out of bed and walked over to the couch, she shook Rosa's shoulder, "Rosa, Rosa, wake up, wake up!" β
Not knowing if it was the shaking or her call working, Rosa opened her eyes leisurely. Seeing Stella's face close at hand, she was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly grabbed Stella's hand, "Oops! We were fooled! β
At this time, Arthur and Teresa also woke up.
Arthur's first instinct was to reach into his pocket. That thing is still there. He pulled out the cloth bag and opened it, and the silver metal naturally came into his sight.
The five men from the Knights Hospitaller were stunned.
People have been caught, why are the holy relics still in their hands?
The door suddenly opened, and Charley walked in. He held a plate in his hand, and the plate was covered with a red silk cloth, but he did not know what was under the cloth.
Five men from the Knights Hospitaller looked at Charlei warily.
"Good morning." Xia Lei smiled and greeted him very friendly, and then said, "Did you have a party here last night?" β
No one left him.
Giovanna's gaze quickly swept over the bedside table and coffee table, as if searching for something like a fruit knife or scissors. But there was nothing.
Charley placed the plate on the coffee table and sat down across from Arthur.
Stella quietly walked behind Charleigh.
Xia Lei said lightly: "Miss Stella, I advise you not to move. I'm still being polite to you, and that's because we're not enemies. But if you hold me around my neck and try to strangle me, then we are enemies. β
Stella suddenly stopped.
Arthur slipped the cloth bag into his pocket. He couldn't understand why Xia Lei still left the holy relic on his body, but he subconsciously wanted to hide it.
Xia Lei smiled, "Mr. Arthur, it's not hidden. I saw it all. β
Arthur still put the cloth bag in his pocket, "What do you want to do?" β
"Then the negotiations, I'm still waiting for the outcome of the Knights Hospitaller's meeting, and then we'll continue to talk." Xia Lei said.
Arthur grimaced and didn't say a word.
Xia Lei smiled, "Don't you think you've got the holy relic, and then you don't need to talk to me anymore, do you?" With that, he suddenly grabbed the red silk cloth that was covering the plate and lifted it.
The five men from the Order were dumbfounded.
On the plate beneath the red silk cloth lay four pieces of silver metal, identical to the one on Arthur's body.
"Isn't that what you're here for? Why drug me and steal it? I'll give you a piece of it one by one. Charley grabbed a piece and threw it at Giovanna.
Giovanna reached out and caught it.
The remaining three pieces also flew to Rosa, Received, and Teresa, and each woman was given a relic.
Is this a relic?
The four women each held a piece of silver metal and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"You're fooling us!" Arthur couldn't hold back any longer, and he stood up with a fierce expression.
Xia Lei said lightly: "Tricking you? What about playing with you? I didn't drag you to the back mountain and bury you alive, even if I was kind enough to you. β
Arthur took out the silver metal from his coat pocket and said indignantly: "You know that my people will steal it, and you actually put a fake one!" β
"Hahaha......" Xia Lei couldn't help laughing, "What kind of logic are you?" I knew you were going to send someone to steal it, so I'm going to put it in the safe? I'm a shameless person at times, but I find that I'm a far cry from you. β
Arthur slammed the silver metal in his hand to the ground. He called Angelio and said that he had gotten the relic, but now it seemed like a prank. He didn't know what to do with Angelio, but he knew he would be a joke within the Knights Hospitaller.
"Don't forget, Mr. Arthur, I am a munitions maker, and my factory has the best equipment in the world, and I can make you as many holy relics as you want. But if you want to be real, then you have to agree to my terms. Xia Lei said.
Arthur was silent for a moment, "I need to see if it's true before I contact Mr. Angelio to explain the situation to him." β
Xia Lei reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out a piece of silver metal. He placed it on a plate.
Arthur followed, reaching for the silver metal. He grabbed it, but couldn't pick it up. It was at that moment that Xia Lei's hand fell, grabbing his wrist.
The sisters of the Gray and Russo families suddenly rushed towards Xia Lei.
"Stop!" Arthur snorted coldly, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. Not for anything else, because Xia Lei's hand that grabbed his wrist was like an iron tong! That power almost crushed his bones!
The Gray and Russo sisters stopped.
Jingling. The silvery metal landed on the plate again.
Xia Lei let go of Arthur's hand, grabbed the silver metal in his hand, and said lightly: "This is my territory, and the FA organization and the CIA don't dare to come here to attack me, I don't know where you got your courage and confidence." Putting that aside, even if you want to rob it, you should at least send one or two hundred masters over, just the five of you, and my men can get you done. β
Arthur's eyes were fixed on the silver metal in Xia Lei's hand, and his eyes could not hide the excitement in his eyes.
"It is your holy object, and I can imitate its shape, but not its material. I guess you know this very well, right? Xia Lei slipped the silver metal back into his trouser pocket.
Arthur came to his senses, "Yes, it's true. β
"On what basis did you determine it?" Xia Lei said: "Have you ever seen such a metal? β
Arthur said, "Mr. Xia, I thank you for your mercy, but please don't take my words. I will call His Excellency Angelio now and explain the situation here. β
"Please." Xia Lei said.
Arthur didn't call in the room, but left the room and went outside to make a call.
Xia Lei turned around, and was about to awaken the clairing ability of his left eye, when Giovanna blocked the path of his vision. What he saw was Giovanna's small waist comparable to A4 paper, and her chest as angry as a cannonball. His left eye couldn't help but jump slightly, a white beauty, a small piece of golden beauty suddenly entered his sight, and the close distance made him full of stimulation.
Xia Lei frowned, "What are you doing?" β
"What happened last night?"
"What's going on?" Xia Lei got up and took a sideways step.
Stella suddenly moved sideways again, blocking his view.
"Last night, we ...... you," Stella mustered up her courage, "did that happen?" β
There was no surprise that she took the initiative to enter Xia Lei's perspective line of sight, and the fabric on her body melted like frost in the sun in an instant. The same A4 paper-like soft waist, the same cannonball-like angry peaks. What's even more amazing is that the sisters of the Gray family not only look exactly the same, but even their bodies are exactly the same.
If such twin sisters slept in the same bed, would they be called by the wrong name?
Xia Lei couldn't help but have such a ridiculous thought in his mind.
"ThisγThis is important to me, please let us knowγ Giovanna said, with a hint of pleading in her tone.
Xia Lei had a headache, "No, nothing happened to us. If you don't believe me, check it out for yourselves. β
Giovanna and Stella looked at each other, and the two girls breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Lei followed the direction of the door, but at this time, Arthur had already finished the call and walked in from the door, and he said straight to the point: "Mr. Xia, I'm sorry, we can't meet your conditions. β
"Well, it's a pity." Xia Lei shrugged his shoulders, "Then you guys go, we won't have any more negotiations." β
"Wait." Arthur said, "What Lord Angelio means is that we can't do it alone, we need you to provide us with resources. β
"Is it money?"
Arthur nodded, "Yes, we need money to get mercenary organizations and some armed groups to help, so that we can meet your conditions." β
Xia Lei said: "Pay to buy people to do things, I have money, I can ask the killer to hire mercenaries or even the armed organization you said to do things for me at any time, why should I give you holy relics?" β
Arthur smiled, "Hehe, Mr. Xia, do you think I don't know your thoughts?" You're a legitimate businessman, and you're paying for killers, mercenaries, and even illegal armed groups, and that's going to get you in trouble. You don't want to get in those troubles, and you don't want to get in touch with those people. In addition, those people are not good people, and even if you give money, they will not necessarily do things for you, let alone deal with FA organizations. They're not stupid enough to do something that makes money but doesn't cost it, right? And we are different, we have been in this world for a thousand years, and we have our own way of dealing with those people. I guess that's why you came to us and let us out, right? β
This is indeed Xia Lei's true thoughts, if there was an organization in this world that could kill the FA organization by collecting money, he would have contacted the other party a long time ago, and he would not have contacted the Knights Hospitaller at all.
"How much do you want?"
"100 million dollars."
Xia Lei smiled, "Do you think I am a money printer?" Fifty million dollars, not a single cent more. β
"Deal." Arthur said, "However, we need a batch of weapons made by the Reimaa Group, XL2500 sniper rifles, wind assault rifles, and Cerberus individual guns. β
Xia Lei frowned.
Arthur followed and said: "Don't get me wrong, it's not that we take the opportunity to ask for your supplies, but once the war starts, we must kill the FA organization, and we don't want to leave the aftermath." Your weapons are the most advanced in the world, and if our men can equip them, our odds will be greater. β
"Okay, I promise you." After a pause, Xia Lei added, "However, how do I know that you won't take my money and not do things for me?" β
"Rest assured, we assure you in the glory of the Knights Hospitaller. In addition, I will leave four hostages behind. Arthur gestured to the women of the Gray and Russo families, "They will remain here as hostages until we complete the deal." β
Charleigh, "......"
