Shadow Empire

Chapter 34 How did you do it?
A family with a missing child?
Officer Braden frowned. "So you want to..."

"Give them a child, healthy, handsome, polite, and willing to give them two hundred dollars!"

"Of course they have to keep their mouths shut for the two hundred bucks."

Lance did not hide his thoughts because Officer Braden's help would be needed in the end.

However, his actions made Officer Braden's eyes light up. "This is a good exclusive business. You shouldn't tell me so simply."

Lance leaned forward slightly. "This is my sincerity, Officer Brad, and I believe that the profits brought by our future cooperation will far exceed these..."

He curled his lips, not looking very interested.

However, Officer Braden was very interested. "I'll keep an eye out for you. There are many children who have gone missing in Jingang City over the years."

"There are quite a few people of the right age. I have to say that you have opened up a new market!"

Braden put the envelope in his pocket. "Still here by this time tomorrow, and I'll give you an answer!"

He finished his coffee in one gulp and walked past the bar whistling, "That kid pays!"

He left the restaurant with his partner and returned to the car.

He told his partner what had just happened, and his partner immediately became interested, "How much money can this get?"

Braden started the engine while looking at the rearview mirror. "Not sure. It depends on how much money he can negotiate with others. We can set a standard."

"Do you know what is the most abundant in Jingang City?" Officer Braden's voice trembled as he spoke. He had discovered a huge treasure that could allow him to achieve financial freedom directly!
Without waiting for his partner to reply, he stepped on the accelerator and shouted, "Illegal immigrants!"

“We sent it!”

Watching the police car leave at an alarming speed, Lance curled his lips and continued to enjoy his coffee and waffles.

The waffles at this restaurant are a bit of a hodgepodge, with maple syrup and jam on top, some chocolate chips, and finally a layer of powdered sugar.

It's still the typical Federal style, so sweet that it makes you question your life, but it seems to be a little better when paired with unsweetened coffee.

Lance ate about one-third of it and couldn't eat any more. He felt his teeth screaming with every bite.

When he paid the bill, the low price made him wonder if the bill was miscalculated, so the boss only charged him one dollar.

Two cups of coffee cost thirty-five cents, a waffle and a hamburger cost sixty-five cents. Mr. Anderson should really come and see the prices here. He is the one with the real black heart.

He knew Officer Braden would definitely take this matter seriously because the business looked big!
In order to prevent Lance from finding someone else and revealing this way of making money, he will definitely help Lance and try to use "friendship" to bind him and prevent him from talking nonsense.

In fact, this business is not that easy to do.

In Jingang City today, how many illegal immigrants can save a few hundred dollars?
People like Alvin who used to work at the docks could save at most three or five dollars a month, and that was already the result of their frugality.

Even if you can save five dollars every month, that's only sixty dollars a year, and it will take five years to save three hundred dollars!
In fact, there are people who can save so much money, but they are very few, maybe only one in a thousand.

So this business may seem promising, but in reality it's like selling real estate to homeless people.

If they had enough money to buy a house, they wouldn't be homeless.

And the fact that they are wandering means they have no money at all!
Saturday morning was the day when the federals gathered outside the Cathedral of St. Naye. This time Lance was more punctual than last time. After greeting some adults, he came to the side.

When the young people saw him, they immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

Don't underestimate the importance of five dollars to these young people at this time.

A meal at the fat boss' place costs only 20 yuan for an average person, and a meal at Mr. Anderson's restaurant costs 10 to 20 yuan, or even 30 yuan or more. Five yuan is enough for these young people to enjoy themselves for a while, and they went to a high-end restaurant to experience it, and they also ate two yuan worth of food for free, which made everyone like Lance!

Jellal was also happy, it was as much to him that people liked Lance as it was to him that they liked him.

Of course, not all of them are good people, and not all of them are positive characters. Someone also asked Lance a question that he actually couldn't answer -

"Lance, I'm curious, how much did you make from this business?"

Greed and jealousy are always the original sins that people cannot avoid. Someone calculated that Lance spent more than a hundred dollars on them in one day.

So much money was spent in one day. Does it mean that he can make more from it?

Moreover, they have seen news about Mr. Anderson's restaurant in the past two days, and what they are most curious about is how much money Lance can make from it.

This question was difficult to answer, and Gerard took the initiative to stand up and rebuked the question, "What does this have to do with you?"

The man smiled playfully, "I'm just curious. I don't mean to offend Lance. After all, I also made money, so I'm just a little curious."

Others also spoke up for Lance, "You don't have to answer this question, Lance. We are all grateful that you thought of us at a time like that."

Lance surprisingly answered their question, "It's about a thousand dollars in total."

The friends around him all gasped, and even Jellal stared at him in amazement, almost saying subconsciously, "So many?!"

The young man who first asked the question also had red eyes from jealousy, "One thousand yuan, my God, I have never seen so much money!"

Lance acted as if it was nothing special. "If you knew that the person who assigned me this job made at least two thousand dollars from it, would you be more surprised?"

Sure enough, these people exclaimed in amazement again. It was hard for them to imagine what it felt like to make so much money all of a sudden.

"Lance, will there be such an opportunity again in the future?" Ennio couldn't help but ask the question that everyone wanted to ask. If you can earn five dollars so easily, who wouldn't want to?

Many eyes were focused on him at once, and Ennio seemed a little embarrassed. "Well, I mean if you need help, I think I can do something for you."

Young people have responded one after another, even if it happens once a month, it is a very good extra income.

"I can too!"

The voices of young people are gradually getting louder. Facts have proved that as long as it involves interests, people will burst out with unimaginable enthusiasm!
Mr. Jobaf heard the voice next to him in front. He looked towards the young people with some curiosity, only to see that almost most of the young people were circling around Lance, which made him very curious.

You have to know that this is only Lance's second time attending the Imperial gathering. He may not even recognize all the people here, but he has received praise from the young people. It's amazing!
His first impression of Lance was good. Most people from the Empire discovered the gap between them after coming to the Federation.

It is not as bad as some people claim, and at the same time it shows that it is clearly better than the Empire, which will make these young people from the Empire feel inferior and unable to take a step forward to embrace a new life.

He had seen many young people who had just arrived in the empire. They were restrained and even timid when saying hello.

But none of these things can be seen in Lance. He looks cheerful, outgoing and mature. It would be more reliable if someone told him that this young man is a Federation citizen rather than an Imperial.

Mr. Jobaf sent an assistant to inquire about it. Not long after, he came back with a strange expression. "You won't believe what I found out, Mr. Jobaf."

"You can choose not to tell me, but I can deduct your salary." Mr. Jobaf disliked this obvious practice of keeping the secret.

His assistant quickly said, "He made more than a hundred dollars with the kids, and he himself said that he made a thousand dollars in the job he just finished!"

Even his assistant was shocked. Although this assistant had a higher salary than ordinary people, one thousand yuan was really too much!

After hearing this, Qiaobafu became even more curious, "How did he do it?"
