  However, after a while, he could not sense any hostile target, so the venom slowly returned to its roots.

  In Charles's room, he struggled to get up from a soft bed. Charles jumped off the bed and looked at the two beautiful bodies on the bed. After returning from the wilderness the previous night, he had vented his anger on the two young maids in their fifties. It had to be said that as the two girls had just finished speaking, their bodies were astonishingly agile and tight, causing Charles to quickly convert his anger into something else.

  After two consecutive hours of battle, he finally fell into a deep sleep. In the meantime, he had forgotten how many times he had vented his emotions in these two bodies. It was hard for these two girls to have such astonishing tenacity. If it were those weak females from the old era, they would have long perished from Charles's crazy charge. In this way, it was certain that he would be unable to get out of bed for two days.

  "Young Master Charles."

  Outside the door, the housekeeper Laurenk's anxious voice sounded. Charles had already heard his father's roar, so he impatiently yelled towards the outside: "I got it, tell the old man that I will be there immediately."

  After changing into a set of clean clothes, Charles yawned and headed towards his father's study. Outside the window, the morning light simulated by the Asgard's holographic board shined on the ancient carved windows of the corridor, casting beautiful light and shadows on the floor of the corridor. Charles stepped all the way as he shattered these light shadows, and arrived in his father Meboulos's study.

  Meboulos was sitting on his red leather chair with a sullen face. On the desk in front of him, a small and exquisite rectangular box caught Charles's attention.

  Charles saluted his father and said: "Good morning, dear father."

  Meboulos snorted from his nostrils, "It's not good at all, take a look at what this is!"

  He threw the embroidered box at Charles, who jumped in fright. How could the usually gentle and refined father be so angry today? He took the box and opened it. There were three things inside. They were an eyeball, a note, and a pocket storage device.

  "What is this?" Charles asked in shock, but he felt unease in his heart.

  Meboulos coldly replied, "Take a look for yourself."

  Charles unfolded the note and saw lines of words written in Gothic style on it. Respected Meboulos. I am sorry to inform you that your esteemed servant, Bodon, ambushed my territory last night without reason. I wanted to capture him and send him back to your house for his rudeness and provocation. Unfortunately, not only did your esteemed servant refuse to be arrested, he even injured our soldiers. Due to the intensity of the war, it was not possible to save the body of your servant. Now that I have returned the body parts of the noble servant, I have a storage device attached to it. There is a video of the noble servant attacking without reason.

  The signature was zero!

  Charles was shocked and angry at the same time. He was shocked that Bodon, the tyrant of darkness, would actually kill Zero. He looked up at his father and said through clenched teeth, "Father, we can't just let this go."

  Unexpectedly, Meboulos stood up and scolded: "You idiot, do you still not understand? They have the evidence, Bodon's sneak attack for no reason, we owe them that. If they continued to talk about this matter, they would only be attacked from the bottom of the well, and perhaps even the Herben's family would be implicated because of this matter. Furthermore, Bodon is already our most powerful warrior. Unless Herben's family is willing to lend us his elites, how can we fight against him! "

  Charles was spat all over and stopped in his tracks. He said in a low voice, "Are we just going to let it go like this?"

  "Of course not, but we need to consider it over a long period of time. It seemed that this zero was not a simple zero, nor was it something that relied entirely on relationships. This way, we can't act rashly. "You should settle down, stop causing trouble for me outside, and don't give Zero and the rest any evidence." Meboulos instructed in a bad mood.

  Charles lowered his head: "I understand."

  However, he felt indignant. After getting played by Zero, not only did the Langston's house lose its prestige, even he, the successor, lost face.

  Looking at the sunlight shining in from outside the window beside his feet, Charles felt as if his good mood from the morning had disappeared without a trace.

  Although the fact that Bo [East] was killed in the raid on the base was not spread widely in the Asgard, but this news secretly spread among the wineries. Langston's house was considered to be a very big family in Asgard. The death of the head of the bodyguards was undoubtedly a huge slap in the face for Langston's house. Thinking deeper, it seemed like even the Herben's family had lost face for him.

  The most exciting part was that he was holding a video of a wave of [East] raids. With this video as evidence, the Langston's house didn't dare to go all out to settle the score with Zero. Otherwise, the only one who would suffer if this were to end up in the Asgard's court, would be Meboulos.

  Three days after the news had spread, Langston's house still did not make a move.

  As a result, Zero and the company behind him became even more highly regarded by the nobles. In the next few days, Zero Point Company received more orders, and he and the Black Rose Home received a new infusion of funds. This caused the Zero Point Company to recruit new soldiers and expand the production scale of the weapons factories. This caused the production lines of the three new era's weapons to be put into operation.

  Everything was going according to plan.

  On this day, Biansi invited Zero to meet him. Housekeeper Cassero personally came to meet him at Zero's apartment and went with him to Black Rose Home. On the way, Cassero looked at Zero with interest.

  After a few days of recovery, the tendons which had been cut off by Bodon's Dark String of Fate had already healed, and the minor injuries on his body were also quickly healed. However, there was still a dark green color on his face. From another angle, it showed that Zero had also paid a considerable price for killing Bodon.

  "Okay, Mr. Cassero. I know it's impolite to bring a wounded face to your master, but please forgive me, it's also something that cannot be helped. " After being stared at by an old man for ten minutes, Zero couldn't take it anymore and had no choice but to protest.

  "Bodon's hidden energy is not so easy to remove. Darkness energy is the most obscure power in the world. Sometimes you think you've completely wiped them out, but after a long time, you'll find they're still stubborn and have done irreparable damage to your body. " Cassero smiled lightly, extended his hand and pressed it on Su Ling's face.

  After a flash of energy, the wounds on Su Ming's body were quickly healed. Even some of the hidden injuries on her body were healed by the old man in one go.

  Zero wanted to say something but Cassero said with a faint smile, "No need to thank me. As you say, it's impolite, isn't it? "

  As a result, when the car stopped in front of a quiet manor, there was not a single wound on his body. He got off the carriage and followed Cassero into the villa. The manor was very quiet. It was the afternoon, and a gardener was silently pruning the leaves of a plant in the front garden. A stone sculpture of a fountain quietly breathed in the spring water. The surface of the fountain was sprinkled with scattered petals, tranquil and elegant.

  Stepping on the cobblestone road, Zero followed Cassero to a house. The house was built in the style of Gothic architecture, and the magnificence of the building had its own settling atmosphere. This was aristocratic restraint, symbolizing an irreplaceable status.

  Stepping through the deep corridor paved with red carpets, Cassero brought Zero to Biansi's study room and said indifferently: "Go in, Miss is waiting for you inside."

  Zero gently opened the door. He did not dare to use too much strength. He was afraid that his voice would disturb the silence.

  The room was very quiet. Sunlight from the French windows entered the study
from the side. The window was open, and under the pillar of light, there was a huge amount of dust floating about, like a dancing daemon. Biansi was scribbling on the table with a pile of documents on her left. Biansi was currently taking down all of the documents, scanning through them and conducting the necessary checks.

  She handled the documents very quickly, but this did not mean that Biansi was merely browsing through them and coming to a conclusion. On the contrary, although she read ten lines at a glance, every word was clearly etched into her mind. These documents were all related to the development of the clan, and their plans for the future. Every patriarch of the clan was the leader of the clan, and if Biansi gave any instructions, it would be a mistake. These reactions might bring the family in a direction that Biansi did not wish to see.

  "Zero, you're here? Just a moment, please. Give me another ten minutes. " Biansi said without raising her head.

  Zero nodded and quietly sat on the sofa. He looked at Biansi. Today, she had changed from the extravagant attire she had worn at the banquet to a simple set of clothes. This showed Biansi's fondness for efficiency.

  Naturally, without the hat and veil that day, Biansi revealed her true appearance in front of everyone's eyes.

  Biansi was already close to thirty years old, but from her appearance, there was no difference between her and a twenty year old woman. This was thanks to her meticulous care and care, as well as the beauty of the gene drug, although Biansi was not a capable person, she was able to make time stop on her shoulders.

  Her hair was tied up, and from a side view, Biansi's forehead was bright and full, a symbol of wisdom. She had the contours of a knife, and when her features were matched in perfect proportions, she was astonishingly beautiful.

  On Biansi's nose was a frameless plain glasses, the use of which was to filter out the light rays that would harm her eyes, but right now, when it was placed on Biansi's nose, she could vaguely make out the sharp outline of her face.

  From start to finish, Biansi had never even looked in the direction of zero, but she seemed to know something, and while showing her documents, she said: "Staring at a lady, it doesn't seem to be the doing of a gentleman, does it?"

  Su Ming shrugged and said indifferently: "I have never been a gentleman. Furthermore, with Miss Biansi's beauty, if I do not have a proper look, then that would be the greatest disrespect."

  At this time, Biansi finally stopped writing. She looked at Su Yun, and laughed as she shook her head: "This is the best flattery I have ever seen, I think that Mr. Zero must have something extraordinary about trying to win the hearts of girls."

  "Miss must be joking, talking about love is Young Noble Duojin's privilege. As a person who struggles to survive every day, how can I waste so much time on such things?" Zero answered with a smile.

  "Are you implying that I'm wasting your time?" Biansi stood up, and said with an eyebrow raised.

  She was already extremely tall. With her 180cm height and a pair of high heels, the man could only look up at her. Back then, she had witnessed Biansi wearing a ceremonial dress to hide her height. Today, with the appearance of an office lady and the simple clothes she wore, Biansi's figure, especially her long legs, which appeared to be a perfect line under her western pants, challenged all of the men's self-control.

  Zero retracted his rude gaze and said with a smile, "Of course not. Miss' time is much more precious than mine. Speaking of which, I should be the one wasting your time. "

  Biansi let out a soft laugh, and said: "Alright, alright, I was joking. It doesn't matter who wastes their time. In short, it's about proper business, so it's not a waste. "

  She walked to the opposite side of Zero and sat down with her legs together. She leaned against the sofa with a kind of indolent beauty in her poise.

  Su Yun said seriously: "Oh, then what business does Miss Biansi have with me to discuss business?"

  "It's a project."

  "What project?"

  "Slave catching." Biansi took out a cigarette from the box on the table, lit it up and took a sip. It had to be said that no matter what she did, her posture would always be graceful, but it didn't give off a delicate feeling. Instead, it gave off a feeling of cleanliness and dryness.

  Zero was surprised: "Asgard also has a way to capture slaves?"

  "That's not appropriate." Biansi said with a smile that was not a smile: "We are only rationally using some of the idle resources in the wilderness. Our factory has been running out of manpower lately, and we need a new batch of slaves. As I recall, your company is now on the right track, but if you continue to expand, you will soon face a shortage of manpower. No company in the wilderness employed workers, most of them slaves. Slaves are less expensive than regular workers, but are twice or more efficient than ordinary workers. "

  "If you want, I can let you participate in this project. I can give you 20% of the captured slaves. You only need to pay the necessary service fee to our family. Of course, if you were to do it yourself, you could save on this fee. "How about it? Are you interested in participating?" Biansi looked at Ling Yun and asked.

  Logically speaking, for such a "project", Biansi would not be so cheap. After all, even though the refugees in the wilderness could not fight against the regular army, they still needed a lot of manpower to capture the slaves. Capturing large numbers of slaves could not only be used to replenish their own factories, but could also be sold to others through the black market.

  No matter how one looked at it, this was a profitable business deal.

  A business like this would naturally not be taken advantage of by others. Biansi was willing to allow Ling Xiao to participate. Firstly, other than wanting to establish a deeper cooperation between him and Ling Yun, it was also because had recently killed the head of the Langston's house's guards.

  According to Cassero, the head guard, Bodon, might not have reached the Tenth Order Warrior yet, but the special nature of his ability was such that it could rival ordinary Tenth Order warriors. Especially with Bodon's "dark power" ability, being able to form a domain-like main force field was a very rare ability. Zero was able to kill him, but that was just another way of explaining the value of Zero itself.

  Compared to cooperating with him, this was probably the main reason why Biansi wanted to involve Zero in the plan to capture slaves.

  Zero answered, "I will. I don't know when we'll leave, but I'll try to form a team of about a hundred people before then."

  At present, other than the security personnel from Zero Point Company, the only people who could fight were Su Ling, Feng and a few others. Recruitment is therefore imperative. Now that the company has stabilized, all it needs to do is to open up a new territory. The endless wilderness was not something a few of them could explore. The existence of soldiers was a necessity.

  Since that was the case, Zero planned to set up his own team of soldiers as soon as possible, and his plan of capturing slaves was a great opportunity to sharpen this army.

  Biansi laughed: "I thought that people like you would oppose the existence of slaves. I heard that you did not go through the Cataclysm era? "

  "That's right, so I have no way of knowing the cruelty of the Cataclysm era. I can only deduce it from the current era. To be honest, most of the ideas in my head are still from the old days, when things like slavery didn't exist at all. But no matter what era it was, it wasn't uncommon for people to eat people and take advantage of others. In the old days there were no slaves, but there were many who lived like slaves. "

  "I don't want to declare how noble my moral conscience is. I just want to know what I want to do. A lot of sacrifice is essential before you can fulfill your dream. As for the slaves, I think that was already the lightest sacrifice, and that they were only sacrificing my own reputation. " Besides, as a slave in my hands, at least I can promise not to mistreat them. As long as they work hard, they will have food. I can also provide them with basic medical care, making their lives several times better than in the wi
lderness. Of course, they also had sacrifices, and that was freedom and fame. But in turbulent times, these two things sometimes didn't seem so beautiful. "

  Biansi nodded and said: "I am glad that you have such a thought, zero. Really, there were some who called for the overthrow of slavery and for the name of the Lord. "However, it's much better to secretly keep [sex] slaves and countless laborers."

  "Well, the project will take place in two months. I hope that you have prepared your own men by then. "

  Chapter 378 - Military Training

  Ever since he met Biansi that day, upon returning, he planned to use a portion of his funds to recruit soldiers. Because of this, he and Feng held a small meeting, and the others at the meeting naturally did not object to this investment. After all, which company in the wilderness didn't have their own army? A company without an army is like a tiger without teeth. Although the zero point technology had their few capable people, but it was impossible for them to do everything personally.

  Thus, on the day after the meeting ended, Zero released the recruitment notice through the Asgard's mission system. Very quickly, zero point technology's ground floor building was filled with people who came to apply for the job.

  Because of this, Zero called everyone back. Even Eva, the borderline person, was urgently summoned back from the laboratory. Including Zero, several people personally tested the overall quality of Su, including the ability to recruit soldiers. Because of limited funding, Zero did not plan to recruit any soldiers on a large scale this time. He intended to refine them and select them in the days to come. The only ones remaining would be the elite soldiers and generals.

  These first batch of soldiers would be formed from them, and would be groomed to become the generals of the next batch of soldiers.
