"If you have any extra Tony Stark's 1:1 collector's edition of the Mentor figure, please give me one."
Tony Stark's originally relaxed expression gradually became distorted. He looked at the two people with a serious look.
"Don't even think about it! I only have a few."
At this time, the Little Knight and Steve Rogers were strolling around the streets openly. Thanks to the excellent public opinion war, Ghost and his companions were also given the title of heroes, so that even if they were standing openly on the street, there would be no gossip.
Although it walked with Steve Rogers all the way, everyone mistook it for a child who wanted to be a hero, rather than the ghost itself, which made it unable to understand and fell into deep thought.
Steve Rogers himself has also received many compliments such as the following.
"Your kids are so cute."
"What a good kid! Keep going! You'll definitely become a hero in the future."
And so on.
Fortunately, Green and Chunchun both benefited from the huge energy they gained this time, and they had to take a short break in order to integrate this power.
Otherwise, if Green were here, there would be a big fight.
Of course, even if you don't rest, it won't have much impact. At most, you will feel uncomfortable as if your whole body is burning during this period of time, and the energy that was originally fed back to you will be lost in large quantities, and you won't be able to get any of it back.
This is not a big deal for Green, but it does not mean that Green can accept being a drag. For example, in this battle, he did not help at all.
He's not stupid, he's just obsessed with ghosts.
They are very enthusiastic.
The little knight really had no way to describe those people who stuffed food into his hands for no reason. He was a little overwhelmed by such treatment.
The Knight couldn't really understand why people were so overly enthusiastic about it. After all, in its impression, everyone in the chat group was a friend, so it wasn't surprising that friends were so enthusiastic about each other. But in Hallownest, firstly, its popularity was very rare, and secondly, its reputation was too great. When most people saw it, they would avoid it from a distance, just like the maintenance bug before, and hide in a corner to watch it leave before coming out to breathe.
"Because you saved them, they are all grateful to you."
Steve Rogers took a deep breath. He couldn't tell the other party the truth that they were so enthusiastic just because they thought it was cute. Even though he knew that the other party's small and cute body contained unimaginable power, he couldn't treat the other party as an adult. Besides, the other party really looked like an ignorant child.
[Will you feel grateful if you save others?]
The little knight rarely typed a question mark, because it thought of a bug that was very similar to the container. Apart from being very noisy, it didn't have any particular dislike for the other party. If it had to say something, it was probably that the other party in the dream was too hateful. When fighting, the opponent roared and screamed randomly, and his moves did not follow the routine. In short, he attacked randomly. This method of attacking without following the routine often made him suffer losses accidentally, although he could easily get rid of this guy who used the fly sword technique later.
But apart from that, if you ask how much he hates her, he probably doesn't hate her at all, because he doesn't care. In his eyes, the other person is just a passer-by on the road, not even a passer-by. If it weren't for the things that the other person was muttering about being too noisy, he would probably have almost forgotten the other person.
Then, it remembered that it had saved a young girl? Because it was a container and didn't distinguish between genders, it didn't know clearly. But, since the other party thought so, then that was it.
When the other party just woke up, he did express clear gratitude to it, but later it regarded it as a liar. Later, because it sensed that there was a strong dream energy under the other party's home, it challenged it again and again, but in the end it did not get any dream essence.
And the other party, for some reason, also walked away.
Not to mention that unscrupulous businessman. Although the items I bought were indeed worth the money, there was no discount at all.
Therefore, it never thought about what it would gain by saving others until the other party brought it up.
But its willingness to save others is not only because it is convenient, but also because it is more or less influenced by some bugs, such as Quino, Sister Longya whose name it is not sure of, and the masters who are willing to teach it the charged slash.
It seems that all the insects are generous in their efforts and do not care about the rewards.
I haven't been thanked, but I have been helped.
[I have never been grateful to others, but I have helped others]
[It's the same everywhere we go]
155 Silver Gray: I'm cracked
"Why did you come back?"
The doctor came back from there and breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to go back to his office to have a good rest, a voice came faintly from behind him. Of course he remembered this voice, it was Kal'tsit.
"Because I belong to Rhode Island. This will always be my home."
"Family?"
The other party's words were a little surprised and confused, probably because he didn't expect the doctor to give such an answer. Kal'tsit looked at the doctor and laughed for no reason. The laugh was very light, even fleeting.
However, the doctor still caught it with his keen senses, but he did not expose it. He just listened silently and waited for the storm to come. After all, he just wrote a hasty report and left directly when he went out this time. Let alone distrust, even if he trusted, he would still be curious and suspicious.
After all, human hearts cannot stand the test either.
But no, the imagined storm did not come as expected. After laughing, the other party just looked at him coldly, lowered his head, and flipped through the documents on the table.
"There will be a trade document signing with Kalan later, and you will need to personally hand over the documents named. I don't care whether you can do it or not, you must go, Doctor. This is your unshirkable duty."
The Doctor nodded. He certainly wouldn't refuse such a thing. He still had a good impression of the people of Rhodes Island. He didn't even dislike Kal'tsit. He just became more curious about his past.
He suddenly thought of the lovely girl named Lan Du, who looked at him gently. The doctor remembered the girl's surprised expression when he asked her if she could taste those sweet pastries. At that time, he almost thought that her eyes were filled with tears, but she didn't. She just carefully held the cake with her gloved hands and handed it to him. After his sincere praise, she smiled.
the other party asked.
"Aren't you worried, Doctor?"
He didn't react at first, but then he remembered the description of Blue Poison in the Tantric case files he'd read. "Poison." The doctor felt it was unfair. How could such a lovely girl be described with such a word? It wasn't right.
But it was not a good time to change the Tantric case file. At that time, he planned to find a time to talk to Kal'tsit later, so he just answered the other party with a smile.
"I won't easily overlook your caution and prudence, nor the careful attitude you've shown me. I have no reason to worry. However, there's no need to be so cautious next time. After all, I'm not a fragile glass container in a laboratory. Trust me, and I'll trust you."
The doctor looked at the man's dazed expression and reached out to ruffle his hair, but he restrained himself. He didn't want such close contact with someone he had only just met. Furthermore, he had to treat him with respect. If he ruffled his hair to dispel his doubts, was that a sign of fear or not? Was it another form of special treatment?
The other party probably expects others to treat her like an ordinary person. Whether it is discrimination or excessive pity, the doctor does not think it is a good thing, because in his eyes, the other party is indeed just an ordinary and cute girl. He will not act casually until the other party shows clear needs.
So he finally decided to treat her the same way he treated other girls.
The doctor came to his senses and planned to discuss this issue with Kal'tsit. For example, "poison." He didn't think this name should appear on a gentle girl.
The discussion between the Doctor and Kal'tsit came to an end for the time being.
Let's shift our focus to the spacious and bright conference room.
Enthyodis Shivaash—no, now it should be called SilverAsh.
He was leaning back leisurely in a chair for guests to rest, with his fingers crossed.
He had already conducted a detailed investigation into Rhodes Island before, but all the evidence pointed to them being just an ordinary medical company with nothing new.
But no matter what kind of medical company it is, once it has a relationship with the infected, then those ordinary ones, no matter how inconspicuous, are probably just disguises.
Especially since his sister has also come here, it is reasonable for Rhodes Island to be cautious.
In particular, he has recently investigated some interesting things. The other party had some conflicts with the Integration Movement in Che City and escaped unscathed. At the same time, the natural disaster that completely destroyed Che City was blocked by an unknown thing. He intended to investigate the survivors and got a similar answer.
They have forgotten the memories of that period, but every time they think about it, they feel a chill all over their bodies and are filled with fear. Perhaps something terrifying took advantage of the natural disaster to sneak into this world.
SilverAsh thought of this terrible possibility, but he did not jump to conclusions, so he wanted to find Rhodes Island, not only to investigate the matter, but also as a huge game and investment.
Of course, he never suffered a loss, so he specifically asked the doctor from Rhodes Island to negotiate with him. He was deeply impressed by the thin and taciturn man. Although it was only a brief encounter at the time, the other party's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything and his keen intuition made him unable to help but recall what happened that day until now.
Even though it was just a simple conversation he had on the run, it is undeniable that the other party had a profound influence on him.
But, in addition to this, there is a more important reason. After completely controlling the Kalan Trade, he spent a lot of time investigating and finally found out some details about the other party. He once worked at the Tower of Babel, was an impeccable doctor of medicine, and was also a feared battlefield commander, but the other party had no involvement in business.
This provided him with convenience. After all, businessmen valued profits, and negotiating with those who were familiar with business would not be beneficial to him. Rhodes Island probably would not be willing to just find someone randomly.
The doctor has enough prestige but no talent for business, making him the best candidate, and he is looking forward to meeting him again.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face, like a cheetah about to catch its favorite prey, dangerous and cunning.
Of course, in order to achieve good communication and cooperation, he will not do anything too extreme, and may even agree to make some concessions on the surface. The business world is different from the battlefield. Temporary concessions and losses will not lose more.
The sound of the doorknob turning lightly reached his ears. He looked at the person who came with anticipation, and then his expression cracked.
He did see a familiar piece of clothing, but who could tell him what this guy was, who was much taller than him and had a strong sense of oppression!
156 Doctor: You think you have earned money, but you have not
calm.
I have grown from that young boy to what I am now, so it should not be surprising that the other party has undergone such earth-shaking changes.
...SilverAsh looked at the other person who was much taller than him and fell into deep thought for a long time.
After a moment of embarrassment, he decisively threw aside all that damn common sense and accepted the theory that even if one has exceeded the age of physical development, he can still grow again.
Because he didn't think Rhodes Island would deceive him, because that would be meaningless.
Forget it, no matter what the other party looks like, when it comes to business negotiations, it is your own field.
He took out the contract he had prepared long ago, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of the other party.
Picking up a pen, Silver Gray returned to his confident look. After all, he had seen all kinds of storms and waves, and even if some of them were beyond his expectations, it was not enough to shake him.
"I've heard a lot about you, Doctor. I hope we can achieve a perfect cooperation."
SilverAsh deliberately avoided mentioning the trade between Rhodes Island and Kalan by using words like "we". Although this was just a simple trick, it was effective enough.
But the other party simply said "hmm", picked up the contract on the table without any extra words, and read it carefully.
This stubborn attitude made Silver Gray squint his eyes. In the business war, he completely regarded the other party as an opponent who needed to be observed, and ignored the question of whether the other party was reasonable or not. His originally round pupils gradually narrowed into a vertical line, exuding the unique intimidation of large carnivores.
But the doctor remained motionless.
In fact, he had already sensed the other party's scrutinizing gaze from the moment he entered the room. He didn't like such a look, but he wouldn't say much. Rhodes Island still needed the other party's support and help. As long as it didn't harm its fundamental interests, a small amount of effort was completely worth it.
Moreover, he keenly realized that the other party's "I've heard a lot about you" was not just a compliment, and the other party might have met him before.
But he didn't see the other person after he woke up, so it could only be before he was put into the sarcophagus. He had heard of his name for a long time, and it seemed that he was very famous in the past. Perhaps the books inside Rhodes Island may have erased his past existence, but there must be some places in other cities that would leave his name.
As for the contract, in fact, he didn't even look at it. He knew very well that he was not cut out for business. Even if he was forced to learn a little, he would never be as good as the other party, a veteran who had been in the business world for a long time. But he still had the chat group. Isn't the chat group a place for exchanging information and helping each other?
So the first thing he did after opening the contract was to open the private message to Tony Stark.
[Chess Player] The unknown man nailed in the coffin: Tony Stark, I need your help with a small favor.
[Iron Man] Ordinary rich man: ...To be honest, I'm used to seeing a certain cube man and I... yelling in our daily conversations, but seeing you being so elegant and polite, I'm a little uncomfortable with it?
[Chess Player] The nameless person nailed in the coffin: Come back to life, fast! Hmm... is that so?
[Iron Man] Ordinary Rich Man: ...It's strange that this is the case, but, brother, you better speak properly. Okay, I won't talk about this anymore. I've been chatting with Steve for a long time and I always get off track. Let's talk about what's going on.
[Chess Player] The unknown person nailed in the coffin: [Picture] [Picture] [Picture] Could you please take a look at these business contracts for me?
【Iron Man】Ordinary rich man: It’s a small matter, just wait a moment.
Then Tony Stark looked at the picture in silence for a while, and with tears in his eyes, he typed it out word by word, rewriting three contracts of about ten thousand words.
After all, no one except them can see the chat group, and technology cannot input it, so they can only use this method.
After the three documents were completely copied, he first glanced at them, nodded, and called out Jarvis.
"Jarvis, pass these three documents to Pepper. Tell him it's an urgent task. If possible, try to do it as quickly as possible."
At this moment, the doctor was still pretending to look at the document contract, praying in his heart that Tony Stark could be faster. After all, he had been looking at the contract document for almost half an hour, and he was not sure if he would be exposed if he continued like this?
At this moment, SilverAsh, who was sitting opposite the doctor, had no idea that the other party had such a rich inner drama. He could not see the other party's expression under the mask. If he relied entirely on his own judgment, he would just feel that he might have underestimated the other party.
Time passed in this anxious waiting.
Then the doctor saw the message from the chat group, which made him feel relieved.
Tony Stark gave him two answers.
This contract is very clever. There are not many traps in it, but there is not much sincerity either. Either some clauses that are beneficial to the party are added without removing the traps, or all the traps are removed, but at the same time appropriate concessions are made to the other party.
Following Tony Stark's advice, he recommended that the Doctor choose the latter, but the Doctor hesitated for a while and chose the former.
He Xuan Ke relied on the information sent by the other party, pointed out the problems in the contract one by one, and made a few modifications.
"I'm sorry for wasting a lot of your time. If you think this contract is okay, then please sign it, Silver Gray, right?"
He took a look at the contract and chuckled softly. After all, the other party's ability in the business world was still too immature. Some of the terms proposed were just small favors. Well, just give these small favors to the other party, and you can also earn more points in the other party's impression. Why not do it?
"Of course, I will sign this treaty, even though I see that every clause in it is beneficial to you and Rhodes Island. I believe that you will not let me down, Doctor."
Silver Gray twirled the pen and signed his real name on it without hesitation. Maintaining his usual fake business smile, he stood up and extended his hand.
The Doctor also stood up and shook hands with the other party, looking peaceful. However, if SilverAsh had the chance to see the cunning smile on the other party's face, he probably wouldn't think so.
It is easy to give favors, but difficult to get favours. Since the other party is a smart person, he naturally has to use the method of dealing with smart people. What if he just eliminates some traps and gets some small benefits? Maybe this will not make him and SilverAsh enemies, but the impression left in the other party's mind will most likely be that of an evenly matched opponent.
But he was very ambitious. He wanted to become a true comrade-in-arms of the other party. What Kalan Trading had was too insufficient for Rhodes Island. Even if he had to use some tricks, he would get those supplies. He believed that in the near future, the other party would find out that he was making concessions. By then, no matter how the other party reacted, it would undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to him.
