  "That's easy, let's just erase this town from the map." Austin laughed and moved his neck.

  He indeed had the qualifications to say that, even though from the data, the Pavaric had his own army. But to the Sky Three Wealthy Classes, this bit of power was nothing at all. However, Chalod had different opinions on what Austin said.

  Fatty laughed in embarrassment: "Master Austin, how are you going to wipe out this town without batting an eyelid? And once the war started, wouldn't Subterranean Clan, who was only a hundred kilometers away, know about it? I'm afraid that when your army arrives at their doorstep, you'll only get an empty city. Of course, Black Gold cannot escape, but how can you explain this to Miss Biansi? "

  Austin was immediately at a loss for words. Biansi took over and said: "What Mr. Chalod said is right, regarding the Pavaric, we cannot let them go, but we cannot recklessly attack them either. What we need to do is assassinate their leadership and quietly take over the town. And you can also use the Pavaric to cover for our troops, so we won't alarm the Subterranean Clan. "

  "Assassination?" Austin stroked his moustache, "We do not have such talents, we can assassinate their leaders in a small town under the protection of an armed force."

  Chalod knew that since Biansi had said that, she must have already prepared something. In reality, ever since Biansi had thrown out the Black Gold Coin as a profit, this woman had already controlled the initiative and tempo of the meeting. The fatty knew that she would not get anything easy tonight, so she pretended to be stupid. She quietly waited for Biansi to take out her trump card.

  Sure enough, Biansi continued with Austin's words: "It's precisely because of this assassination mission that I invited my family's new partner, Mr. Zero, to participate in this mission. To be honest, Mr. Zero himself is a Shadow Wanderer of the eighth step, it is most suitable for him to execute this kind of mission. "

  This was an important arrangement that Biansi had made specially for Zero. If it was only the will of the Black Rose Home himself, Zero would be allowed to participate in this operation. Austin and Yue Yang would obviously not say anything, but they would never admit to a brat like Xiao Yu. In order for Zero to shine in front of the people of the highest level in Asgard, and also to increase Black Rose Home's bargaining chip, Biansi had to put in a lot of effort. After a variety of clever arrangements, finally let zero in the key to play.

  Of course, he wouldn't waste the result that Biansi painstakingly created. When Biansi called out his name, he stood up and bowed towards Austin to show her respect towards the two Wealthy Classes.

  "As Miss Biansi had said, with my abilities, as long as there are no Tenth Order warriors in the Pavaric, I will not be able to stop me from assassinating their leadership. Furthermore, other than me, my team also has a Night Emissary. This should be a double guarantee. " Zero said.

  Let alone Austin and Chalod, even Biansi was moved.

  Although Night Emissary was only a job advancement, but the future of these kinds of people with cross-domain abilities was limitless, never did he expect that Zero would actually obtain such a person. In this way, if Zero were to view them as enemies, then they would probably be unable to eat or sleep at ease. After all, the Wanderers and Night Emissary were both killer powerhouses. Whoever fought against them would expend all their energy just to guard against their assassination.

  Only, Biansi was surprised to find that even she did not know that there was another Night Emissary in Zero's party. Thinking about it this way, the full strength of Zero should not be as simple as it appears on the surface.

  As he spoke, Findlay whispered to her father. After Austin finished listening, he nodded and laughed out loud, "Then, on behalf of the Herben's family, I would only welcome the Mr. Zero as one of us."

  "Since Mr. Austin has no objections, I welcome him even more." Chalod laughed heartily, then said as though he was a benevolent elder: "Leave Pavaric to Mr. Zero, I think there shouldn't be any problems."

  Zero smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, but I do have a question."

  "Oh? "What is it?" Biansi replied with a tone of zero, not giving Austin and Chalod the slightest chance to reject him.

  Although the two old men were laughing, the coldness in their eyes grew even stronger.

  Ling Yun calmly replied: "According to your estimates, there should be around three thousand people in subterranean race. I'll make a discount, and I'll take two thousand slaves that I can capture. I only want two hundred slaves, but I hope to be able to take over the management rights of the Pavaric. "

  When these words came out, the smiles on Austin's and Chalod's faces froze slightly. If it was in another place, so what if it was 10 Pavaric s that were to throw it at Zero? However, this small town had to be near the subterranean race. This meant that although the Austin and Austin families had obtained the profits of the black gold, the black gold mining and trading industry would definitely not be able to leave the Pavaric as a transfer station. Furthermore, the Pavaric was connected to the Earth City. It could be said to be the first line of defense for the Black Gold Mine.

  On the other hand, it could also become a threat to the Black Gold Mine. This way, the Pavaric would have a very important strategic location. Austin and were certain that this matter had already gotten the approval of Biansi, and with him making the request when it was already close to zero, it was difficult for Austin and Yue Yang to reject.

  After all, Zero had already taken a big step back. In terms of emotions, neither Austin nor Chalod had any reason to reject.

  However, how could these two old foxes allow such an important town to fall into Zero's pocket? Therefore, Chalod coughed dryly, and a young man behind him immediately understood. He stood up and smiled: "Mr. Zero, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tucson, I'm Uncle Chalod's assistant. I think that this is the first time Mr. Zero is participating in this kind of family connection plan, so it is normal for us to not know some rules. "

  Zero also smiled and said, "May I ask what kind of rules it is?"

  Tucson's eyes revealed a hint of ridicule, and answered: "Generally speaking, for actions like this, the distribution of benefits depends on the contribution. Simply put, you reap as much as you pay. And usually we mean the price, depending on the number of troops we send out. Like our Pranning family, we have prepared 2000 slave warriors as well as a few who can advance to the next level. I think that Miss Biansi and Mr. Austin should be around the same, I wonder how many people the Mr. Zero can come up with to obtain the authority to manage a small town like the Pavaric? "

  Su Ming nodded her head, but did not answer her question. "May I ask Mr. Tucson, for an expert like me, how many troops would be able to match up to their manpower?"

  Tucson hesitated, but after seeing Chalod giving a light nod of his head, he said: "Mr. Zero is indeed a High Ranked Ranker, but forgive me for being blunt, but wandering people do not specialize in destruction. If we are to convert it into an army of five hundred men. "

  Zero nodded again, then said, "And what about a Destroyer?"

  Tucson's eyelids jumped, he braced himself and said: "The Destroyer's words, are enough to make an army of a thousand."

  "Where is the Hand of Thunder?"

  Tucson clenched his fists tightly, and his breathing became disordered. He reached for his bow tie, the ornament that made him look gentle, and now he wanted to tear it off. Tucson licked his lips, and said with all his might: "Ditto!"

  Su Yun smiled and said: "Then this time, other than me and Night Emissary, I will send out at least one Hand of Thunder, one Destroyer, and around six hundred soldiers. If it is combined, it should be no less than your family's army. If that's the case, does Mr. Tucson think that I have the qualifications to obtain control over the town? "

  Chalod waved his hand, allowing Tucson to sit. He looked at his old rival Austin, who had his head lowered, obviously wanting to throw this difficult problem to him. Speaking of high-level espers, be it Planning or the
other two Wealthy Class families, they did have them. For example, the old housekeeper Cassero of the Black Rose Home. He alone was comparable to at least three to four high ranked experts.

  However, the cost and the benefits were proportional. Every high ranking ability user was a valuable combat power to them, and should be used in more crucial areas. For a slave catcher, it was a waste to go to higher levels. Moreover, for someone like Zero, to use two or three high-level abilities just for a single operation, that was simply not a ratio of benefits to costs. But the others didn't care, so there was nothing that Chalod could do.

  Then there was the word "at least" in Zero's mouth, which meant that there might be even more power in Zero's grasp.

  Chalod suddenly felt that before he participated in this banquet, he should clearly read through the names of the important people in Black Rose Home as well as the names of the members in the organizations that he belonged to. Otherwise, it would be like giving Biansi a tight slap right now.

  Chalod laughed and said: "I never thought that Mr. Zero's team would have so many talents. If the Mr. Zero sends out so many capable people, then in terms of contribution, it's not any less than the three of us. It's just that Mr. Zero, you don't think your manpower is too weak. There is no need to mention the power of capable people, but you can't possibly leave them in Pavaric, right? This way, with only a few hundred troops, I don't think you can control this place on your own. "

  That was what he had been waiting for. Seeing him smile, Chalod suddenly felt that something was wrong. In the next moment, he heard Zero say, "I can't manage it, but I can sell it. I think there will be people willing to buy it. "

  When those words came out, Chalod could not even maintain his smile.

  This meeting ended at ten o'clock. When they walked out of the meeting room, all the benefits from Pavaric and Earth City had already been divided up. The authority to manage this small town, was ultimately jointly bought by Chalod and Austin. With just a simple sentence, he was able to earn ten thousand over the future earnings. As a result, when they walked out of the meeting room, both Austin and Yue Shan's expressions were a little ugly. After all, this was an unexpected expenditure.

  After sending off the managers of the two great families, Biansi said to Su Yun: "Well done."

  "In the end, Miss Biansi still informed me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to obtain these benefits." Zero answered truthfully.

  Biansi shook her head: "Nothing, this is what you deserve."

  Seeing his tall and straight body disappearing into the shadows of the villa, Cassero said to his young miss in a soft voice, "I can tell that this young man is not easy to control."

  Biansi laughed, "What's good about bowing down to obedient puppets? Allies with judgement and strength are what we need, isn't that right?"

  Cassero lowered his head and remained silent. Biansi had always been this confident. This made him think of an old friend.

  This kind of confidence, was very similar to her mother's!

  Chapter 387 - Justice of the Victors

  There was still one more day until the expedition.

  It was early in the morning, so he went back to the company's base to make some arrangements. This time, other than the six hundred soldiers, the ones with the ability were Su, Berrien, Brown and one other Yoru. Feng and Hedwig were kept by him, the former was in charge of guarding the main camp, the latter needed to continue training, in order to be of great use. Feng didn't have any objections to this decision, but Hedwig couldn't sit still any longer and continued to grind on as she brought her along.

  With just a few simple words, the young girl was left behind.

  Zero said, "You are our secret weapon, so we can't let others discover your existence so quickly."

  Suddenly, the young girl's heart burst with vanity. She laughed out loud to show that she understood and rushed towards the training field with a face full of passion and blood. It was once again proven that it was sometimes easy to deceive this straightforward girl, Hedwig.

  Aside from not wanting to reveal his full strength, Ling Xiao did have plans to let Hedwig continue his training so that he could improve more. In the battle at Els, Hedwig, Yoru and the others had undoubtedly appeared. But compared to Yoru, Hedwig who had not started to level up, was still young in terms of strength. Su Yun hoped that Feng could teach him a few more combat lessons when he was free, even though his real experience was from fighting to the death on the battlefield. But with the circumstances now, Zero did not want warriors with potential like Hedwig to enter the battlefield too early. He could completely activate Hedwig's potential bit by bit through a gradual process.

  When Hedwig reaches a certain degree of strength, when she enters the battlefield, not only will she gain more experience, she will also have a bit more capital to protect herself. But through training Hedwig, Zero could completely pass this successful case and use this mode to recruit people with potential, then train them in it, making them become the elite amongst the elite in an army.

  Of course, this was all a story in the future. Now zero just has this concept, as for implementation will have to be done step by step.

  The road ahead was long.

  After making the necessary arrangements, he drove the car back to the Asgard. Looking at the seemingly endless wilderness, Zero thought to himself.

  After returning to the Asgard, he went to Victor's laboratory. Lea's rebirth plan had already entered into its later stages, and was now in the memory import phase. The progress bar was increasing by 2% every day, and it had already reached a level of 12%. In about forty days, he would be able to finish writing all of his memories. At that time, Lea would be able to awaken.

  Originally, the speed at which memories were transmitted could have been faster. However, for the sake of gene stability, Victor still took a relatively safe route. Zero was satisfied, which meant that the doctor was very attentive to the rebirth of Lison.

  The rebirth plan was already in its late stages, so Doctor Victor used the remaining resources in his research and development project. However, due to the limited resources and manpower, the research on the rebirth plan could only be limited to ordinary gene drug s. Because of this, Zero planned to buy a private research room for Victor at the zero point technology's base camp after the plan to capture him slaves. He planned to bring in talents and equipment so that Doctor Victor could progress towards the area of ability medicine.

  If zero point technology had the qualification to produce a medicine, even if he could only produce a medicine of the ordinary type, the profit from that would be ten to twenty percent higher than the profit from the weapon factory. What's more, for the sake of the blueprint of the zero-future, an army composed of basic ability users was necessary.

  In addition, Eva's exploration of the Dark Crown had also yielded slight results. She tried many different methods and finally found out that when gathering all the energy into a bundle and probing into the Dark Crown, this black crystal would give some vague data back to Eva. Eva was sure that these things were only the Dark Crown's surface data. It could also be some kind of password that was used to protect himself.

  If he wanted to completely develop the data in the crown and use the True King's biochemical technology, Eva would also need a laboratory. Including all the necessary super intelligence brain s and related equipment. This was similarly a huge and necessary investment. It was just that with zero financial resources, supporting the weapon factories and drug development rooms was already the limit, so Eva was no longer able to provide a research lab.

  As such, the Dark Crown research was suspended. Eva would be in charge of assisting Victor in the development of the ability medicine. At this point, Zero was deeply aware of the importance of money.

  Standing in front of the culture tank, Zero looked at the girl floating in the green liquid. Lea seemed to be asleep, his expression tranquil. Occasionally, her eyebrows would twitch, but she reacted to the introductio
n of her memories. A few pocket-sized laser generators floated around Lea's head. Memory information was transferred into Lea's brain through the laser, and then deeply engraved into Lea's mind.

  When she woke up, she would only think that she had slept for a long time.

  The application of gene biochemistry technology in the new era has made mankind achieve immortality to a certain extent. As long as he had the gene archive, along with the corresponding funds and materials, he would be able to achieve immortality. Naturally, this sort of undying life wasn't something everyone could enjoy.

  "You're going to fight again tomorrow? I heard that you are going to capture slaves this time? "

  Eva's voice came from behind, and without turning back, Zero asked, "What, are you interested?"

  "Nope, I can't even support myself anymore, how can I afford to raise slaves?" Eva stretched a little and laughed at herself.

  "But I was a bit surprised. I thought that someone as old-fashioned as you would keep justice and morality in your mouth all day. I never would have thought that you would actually go and capture slaves." she added, standing beside Zero.

  Zero shook his head and smiled, "This is an era where there are no rules and restrictions. The only thing I can do is to persevere in my own thoughts, even if it means that I am forced to. Furthermore, since ancient times, there has never been a war of righteousness, only the righteousness of the victor! "

  "The righteousness of the victor?"

  While Eva was carefully mulling over the meaning of the words, the latter had already turned around and left, and said: "While I'm gone, I'll have to trouble you to take care of this place."

  "I know. Just remember to come back alive." Eva replied unhappily.

  She turned around and looked at the girl inside the culture tank, and said softly: "You little boyfriend, this older sister is getting more and more interested."

  As the voice fell, it was unknown if it was a coincidence or not, but Lea's closed eyelids twitched slightly, as if she had reacted to Eva's words.
