Chapter 100 Meeting
Conquer the sea, Mon Carlo.
In the afternoon in Mon Carlo, in a cafe on a street, Dorothy, who had not easily found a cafe among dozens of bars and pubs, was sitting in a box facing the street by the window. She was drinking ice coffee and looking at a bag full of cash on the table. These cash were new banknotes that he had just exchanged on the spot at a bank near the corpse. William prevented the Hooked Shark Gang from tampering with the banknotes and the bag, so Dorothy chose to spend a little money to exchange them all.
"Wow... so much money again, and it's all in cash... that cup of medicine deal is too profitable..." Sitting opposite Dorothy, Nephnis couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the huge amount of money on the table in front of her, while Dorothy took a sip of coffee and answered lightly.
"This is natural. After becoming addicted to drugs, people's desire for them is irresistible. For ordinary people, they are often willing to spend all their money to continue taking drugs. Therefore, the profits generated by drugs are also very high."
As Dorothy said this, she was also complaining in her heart that the extremely high profit of the cup of medicine was only for ordinary people, and it was still far from the transaction between extraordinary products. Although the two thousand pounds seemed like a lot, it would only take a few minutes for Dorothy to spend it all.
"The medicine business is so profitable, no wonder there are societies that specialize in developing technology to turn people into medicine and sell them... By the way, Miss Dorothy, those who were sold are not alive, right?" Nephnesse continued, and Dorothy continued to speak.
"Don't worry, they have all been taken back to the city by Moncarlo's official city guards. For the sake of the church, Moncarlo will help them solve the problem of the medicine they have."
Dorothy said this as she manipulated the corpse puppet Ender and, in the name of the Gastrointestinal Society, reached their originally planned deal with the local snake hook shark gang in Mon Carlo. She did not simply want to make more than two thousand pounds, but also had the idea of placing these human-shaped cup medicines there.
Ever since she dealt with the two people from the Gastrointestinal Society on the cruise ship, Dorothy has been thinking about how to deal with the dozen or so human-shaped cup drugs they brought. Obviously, for Dorothy, these dozen highly brainwashed and highly addicted blood animals are not worth dealing with. They are so brainwashed that it is useless to reason with them and say that they are deceived. They are so addicted to drugs that if they are completely ignored and allowed to move freely and find a way to go home, they will go crazy again after a long period of drug deprivation.
In fact, in this situation, Dorothy's best option was to hand this group of human-shaped cup drugs over to the Mon Carlo officials for handling. However, based on Dorothy's understanding of Mon Carlo from various channels, she knew that the officials here were actually extremely corrupt, especially many grassroots law enforcement officers were in cahoots with the gangs. If these human-shaped cup drugs were handed directly to the Mon Carlo city guards, who knows what day they would just kill and sell them.
Therefore, when Dorothy handed the people over to the Mon Carlo officials, she specially set up a trap, that is, to design a fugitive who knew the "truth" among the blood animals, and openly complained in front of Vanya and the Mon Carlo official representatives when they visited, so that the whole reporting process was carried out under Vanya's attention. Because the whole case was witnessed by Vanya, who represented the church, it meant that the church was paying attention to this case. Mon Carlo officials would definitely not do such a thing as slaughtering all the rescued victims for money because of the face of the church.
The fugitive Dorothy chose was Dioro, who overheard the truth on the ship... and successfully broke free when he was about to be sold... and was even blocked on the route that Vanya and Moncarlo's representative had to take during his escape... All of this was the result of Dorothy's deliberate guidance through the corpse doll.
In the end, after this wave of events, Dorothy not only disposed of all these human-shaped cup medicines, but also earned more than 2,000 pounds, and also boosted the reputation of Vanya, who had just arrived in Mon Carlo. No matter how you look at it, it was completely worth it.
"Last time, they took the will of a dead person and embezzled the inheritance. This time, they pretended to be someone else and traded for cash... The Rosicrucian really has many ways to make money... "
Looking at the pile of banknotes in front of her, Nephnis couldn't help but think in her heart, then she changed her mind and turned to look at Dorothy who continued to ask.
"Now that the money is in hand and the person has been dealt with, Miss Dorothy, what are your plans for the next step? If I remember correctly, we should be looking for someone in this city, right?"
"Yes... our main mission is to find someone, so our main mission now is to collect intelligence. By the way, I will meet a key person in a while. We may be able to obtain important intelligence about this operation from him."
Dorothy spoke leisurely as she continued to drink a cup of iced coffee. Listening to Dorothy's words, a hint of doubt arose in Nephnis' heart.
"Key...person..."
…
In Mon Carlo in the afternoon, dusk is approaching, the sun has gradually set on the horizon between the sea and the sky, and the dim light of the sunset has enveloped the huge Mon Carlo. Although the sky is dark, the street lights have begun to light up sporadically. This city full of desires is about to transition to its more prosperous night time.
In the southwest corner of the main island of Mon Carlo, there is a small protruding peninsula extending out to the open sea. On this small peninsula, there is a not-so-large coastal park. Because it is a little far away from the main urban area, there are not many people in this park. At this time, there are only a few scattered figures stopping here to enjoy the sea view.
In the park, a gentleman wearing a neat suit, a top hat with a purple strap, holding a cane, with a hooked nose and deep eye sockets, was standing here, watching the scene around him. In front of him was a huge four-story cylindrical turret. There was not a single soldier on guard on it. This defense facility in the park seemed to have been abandoned long ago.
Standing in the quiet park, Ed was looking at the mostly damaged artillery tower in front of him, which had been abandoned for who knows how many years. He seemed to be imagining the war scenes here in the past. At this moment, a figure was walking slowly towards him from behind in the distance. Soon after, Ed heard a sound coming from behind him.
"Sir, I found a small wreath over there. Is it you who dropped it?"
What Ed heard was a female voice. When he turned around and looked back, he saw a short-haired woman in her twenties wearing a light blue dress and high heels. At this moment, she was holding a wreath in her hand and asked Ed in front of her. After seeing the wreath, Ed couldn't help but think for a moment before answering.
"This wreath looks familiar to me. It seems to be mine, but I can't remember where I dropped it. Miss, where did you pick it up?"
"Where did you pick it up... let me think... it seems like I was in a dream..." The woman answered Ed while thinking. After hearing the woman's answer, a smile appeared on Ed's lips, and then he pointed to the park bench near the shore and said.
"If that's the case, then let's talk about the topic in the dream."
"Oh... damn."
Listening to Ed's words, the woman wearing the wreath nodded, and then the two of them walked along the beach. Finally, under the blowing of the sea breeze, Ed sat down on a large bench first. Then he saw the woman behind him walking with slightly stuttering steps and sat down not far from Ed. After that, Ed glanced at the surrounding environment, and then asked the woman next to him.
"At the beginning, you said that this meeting place was a wasteland with nothing and it was very hidden. After I got here and saw such a large park, I thought I had gone to the wrong place. But people were still waiting for me."
