Tang Tang keenly noticed the details in Isolde's words.

Have you always taken the normal route in the past?

That means...

Sure enough, the next second Isolde looked up at Tang Tang and said, "But this time it's different. According to the final signal, the cargo ship deviated from its course and disappeared into the high seas."

Isolde always spoke in this way, with a calm and cold tone, appearing calm and cool. Now, when she said this, the whole room felt a little cold.

Edmund silently raised his hands, hugged himself, and then moved closer to Tang Tang in a very pretentious manner. He snuggled up to Tang Tang like a big bird, and said pitifully, "Is it haunted? It's so scary."

Karlaci found it simply unbearable to watch. Who would have thought that Edmund, who was arrogant and quite distant in the news, was actually such a horrible person in private.

He felt a little nauseous and looked away.

Tang Tang was quite accepting of Edmund's various green tea behaviors. After all, when she looked at Edmund, she always remembered that this kid had only just turned 18.

No matter what kind of dog it is, they are all very naughty when they are young. Considering that Edmund is a very good-looking puppy who has just reached adulthood, Tang Tang dotes on him quite a bit.

She raised her hand and ruffled Edmund's soft blond hair, teasing him, "Are you ashamed?"

Edmund was not ashamed.

What a joke! What's the point of saving face? Your wife is your own, okay?

Tang Tang ignored him and looked at Isolde and said, "Although Edmund's story about a haunting is a bit far-fetched...but it's still not right that it disappeared without a trace."

Karlazi also said, "There are two most likely scenarios. Either the equipment lost contact, and the ship simply became a ghost ship and drifted away at sea."

"Or maybe there were pirates or some other force that intercepted the ship."

"That's what I thought," Isolde said coldly, "so I want to hire Nicoletta's mercenaries to help me investigate."

Isolde was certain that if one ship could vanish, then another would most likely vanish as well.

Her subordinates were all family members, so they couldn't be consumed indefinitely. But mercenaries were different; they were paid to do the work, and everyone was willing to do it.

As one of the major capitalist families in Italy, Isolde is not short of money.

"Okay," Tang Tang agreed, nodding his head. "I'll post the mission information on the forum, and mercenaries who want to take on the mission will sign up. Then I'll have them form a team and contact you."

"But you should know the rules, right?"

Isolde nodded curtly, "I understand. Aside from the mercenary himself, everything else is the employer's responsibility."

This was the unspoken rule in the mercenary world. Besides paying commissions, the employer was also responsible for providing all transportation, food, lodging, weapons, and equipment...

Isolde said, "I will also prepare the ship, but I am not sure whether to prepare the crew."

Because Isolde was not sure whether the disappearance of the ship was due to a spy among the crew.

"I suggest you not do that," Tang Tang said, looking at Isolde lazily and smiling. "After all, you can't be sure whether you're being targeted or not, right?"

It would be bad if a few spies were actually put on board.

Tang Tang said, "I'm actually very curious."

Who attacked Isolde's cargo ship?

"What on earth did you carry on board?"

Isolde said, "Ore."

"Ore?" Tang Tang raised his eyebrows slightly. "Where's the ore?"

"South America," Isolde said, "fluorite mines. I want to open a mine there, so I plan to ship a few ships of ore back to see if I can get one."

The mine Isolde favored was extremely remote, with virtually no trace of modern technology. It was more like the remains of an ancient primitive tribe, abandoned until traces of ore were accidentally discovered.

Fluorite is also called luminous stone. It is not very expensive, but it is very beautiful. Fluorite with high purity is actually very valuable.

That's the mine...

Tang Tang half-jokingly said, "Tribal ruins? They sound a bit legendary. Could they be cursed?"

Isolde glanced at Tang Tang and said, "If curses really existed, you and I would have been cursed to death millions of times."

"Hahahahahaha", Tang Tang couldn't help laughing when he heard that, "That makes sense."

Although they are not ruthless people who kill innocent people indiscriminately... quite a few people have died at their hands.

If the curse really existed, those enemies would have cursed them to death long ago.

Tang Tang and Isolde toasted, then said, "Don't worry, just prepare everything. Once the time is confirmed, all the mercenaries will be able to set off in a few days."

……

Although it was a dinner for four people, it seemed that Tang Tang and Isolde were the ones doing most of the talking.

Tang Tang was curious about the fluorite mine that Isolde was talking about, so he kept pestering her to tell him more.

Isolde did not hide anything and slowly told Tang Tang everything she could remember, even including many local legends that Isolde had heard before.

Edmund and Karl Lazi can only be two quiet decorations with no sense of existence.

After the event, everyone dispersed. Edmund couldn't hide his relief as he watched Carlazi and Isolde leave.

Tang Tang looked at him, "What's with that expression on your face?"

Edmund tilted his head and looked at Tang Tang and said, "I don't like him."

"why?"

Edmund was always very frank and direct in his responses to questions about his relationship, not even trying to hide anything. "The way he looked at me wasn't like he was looking at an ordinary friend at all."

Tang Tang glanced at Edmund after hearing this, then asked in surprise, "Are you so sure?"

Edmund complained, "I am one of them. My dear, I have always been polite to him."

"Really?" Tang Tang laughed at him, "I don't see how you're polite at all."

Edmund's behavior from beginning to end was simply that he didn't curse at Karlazi. As for being friendly? Not even in his dreams.

"So do you like him?"

Edmund looked at Tang Tang seriously and said, "Nikoletta, this is the first time I like someone. If I do something wrong, don't be angry. You can tell me directly."

"For example, I've tried hard to control myself," he muttered a little aggrievedly, "but I still don't like him."

After all, who would like a love rival? He's not from the Green River Danmei section, he only likes Nicoletta!

Tang Tang felt soft-hearted because of his muttering, especially since Edmund's hair was all styled and combed up today, and the face he showed at the moment was very sharp.
