The adjutant, Zorn, was a little worried and poured a cup of coffee for him.

"General, have some coffee to perk yourself up."

Mattis nodded blankly, gesturing for his adjutant to place the coffee cup on the table.

The smoke from the cigar enveloped half of the figure.

Mattis suddenly spoke up: "Zorn, do you think we still have hope?"

Zorn asked in confusion, "General, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand."

"I mean, the failure to encircle District 13 showed me the weakness of a powerful European nation."

Mattis shook his head slightly:

"Just now on the phone, I told the President that our country of Gaul may not be as powerful as we imagine."

“What was the President’s response?” Zorn asked.

He said, "Paris doesn't believe in tears."

"......"

"I'm still very worried. How could a gang be powerful enough to stand up against a developed country? That's terrifying!"

Zorn pondered for a moment: "General, please have a cup of coffee to calm yourself down. Five minutes ago, the last batch of artifacts from the Guimet Museum was loaded onto a truck and transported away."

"Oh? This is the most exciting good news I've heard all night."

"At this rate, the strategic underground warehouse in the Lozer Mountains can be successfully shut down before sunset tomorrow."

......

The streets of Paris.

One after another, large trucks loaded with goods filed out of the city under the escort of fully armed soldiers.

Lin Dong concealed himself and quickly circled the city.

The amount of black gold that Paris, this ancient city, can convert is an astonishing astronomical figure.

Even though Lin Dong was well prepared, he was still shocked.

Here, money is not the biggest source of income for the system's wealth; it is the vast collection of cultural relics and treasures.

Since physical goods can also be converted into value, how much of what this country has plundered from other countries over the past few centuries is clean?

All ill-gotten gains will not escape the judgment of the Black Gold System.
