Chapter 169 My suggestion, get rid of her as soon as possible
Harrison sat on the sofa, facing everyone's inquiring gazes, looking a little nervous, his fingers constantly stroking his trouser legs.
Brian deliberately filled a worn-out bowl with sweet soup and rudely thrust it in front of Harrison, "Drink it."
Harrison took it with both hands, "Thank you."
Without a spoon, he could only drink from the rim of the bowl, but the rim was full of gaps and there was no place to put his mouth.
Harrison hesitated for a few seconds.
Ashley said faintly, "Why, the sweet soup I made doesn't suit your taste?"
Harrison smiled awkwardly, "No, no."
He reluctantly found a relatively smooth spot, took a sip of the sweet soup, and praised, "It tastes good."
"If it tastes good, drink more." Chi Ye stared at his face, his voice piercing through his teeth, each word sharp.
Harrison didn't know whether it was because the sweet soup was too hot or the living room was too cramped, but sweat was pouring down his forehead and his breathing was a little suppressed.
Whenever he lowered his head to drink the sweet soup, the people around him would always glance at him sharply, making him feel uneasy.
I finally finished a bowl of sweet soup.
Brian poured him another bowl, speaking confidently, emphasizing each word, "Drink, drink. If it's not enough, there's more in the pot."
Harrison: “…”
He didn't come for the soup.
Scarlett saw Harrison's embarrassment and took the initiative to speak: "Harrison, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Harrison felt relieved and quickly put down the bowl. "Yes, something happened. Great-grandfather was worried that you didn't know the way to the theater, so he asked me to pick you up."
Scarlett knew what it was about without having to be told.
Coincidentally, she also wanted to go to the Ya Anna Theater.
When I heard Scarlett was going out with Harrison.
Chiye was the first to step forward and said, "I'll go too."
Others are also eager to try.
Scarlett looked at everyone one by one, then looked across the crowd at Terran, but she was a little stuck on how to address him.
Tai Lun took the initiative to step forward, "Madam, I will go with you."
Scarlett smiled sweetly: "Okay."
…
…
Langton Street.
The top floor of the Yaranna Theatre.
Mergaard meets with Scarlett alone.
He held a pipe in his hand, took a puff, blew out smoke rings, and looked at Scarlett through the smoke, "Where's the stuff?"
Scarlett smiled awkwardly and said, "No."
Mergaard narrowed his eyes, "No?"
He pulled a knife from the drawer and threw it on the desk. "You may not know my rules. Those who dare to cheat me usually don't end well. Do you want to do it yourself, or do you want me to do it myself? Considering your young age, I'll give you a choice."
Scarlett raised three fingers and said, "I choose the third one."
"The third one?"
Mergard didn't expect Scarlett to dare to bargain with him. The sharpness in his eyes became more and more intense, and he wished he could skin her alive.
Scarlett ignored Mergard's gaze, took a step forward, and respectfully handed over the ore she had dug today.
A thumb-sized lapis lazuli that is dark blue, crack-free, fine in texture and free of impurities.
A bright blue flashed in Murgad's eyes, and the hostility in his eyes dissipated in shock, replaced by endless greed.
Blue was an extremely rare color in that era, more precious than gold. Only the nobility could have it, and it was extremely luxurious.
Although Scarlett is a small gem, she is worth at least a fortune.
Mergaard took it carefully in his hand, holding it firmly in his palm, "Where did you get this ore?"
His voice was trembling, and even though he tried to suppress it, it still showed.
Scarlett said, "I dreamed about it."
"Dreaming?" Mergaard continued to be shocked.
Scarlett explained, "Ever since I turned eighteen, I've had different dreams every night. Sometimes I dream of aliens, and sometimes I dream of a clearing. If I dream of aliens, I can trade with them. If I dream of a clearing, I just need to find a place and dig there to dig up ore."
Scarlett pointed at Lapis Lazuli and said, "I didn't dream about aliens yesterday, I only dreamed about this."
Scarlett opened her eyes and asked, "Mr. Mergaard, you won't blame me, will you?"
"No, no."
Mergaard quickly put the lapis lazuli into the drawer. His movements were quick and skillful, not at all like a man in his seventies.
"That's good."
Scarlett nodded thankfully, but her eyes were fixed on the drawer of her desk. "Um, Mr. Mergaard, I heard that ore is very valuable. Do you know how much this one of mine is worth?"
"About 100,000 star coins." Mergard casually reported a number.
"That……"
Scarlett rubbed her fingers together expectantly.
Mergaard narrowed his eyes, took out 120,000 star coins from the safe, and threw them to Scarlett, "Anything more is your reward."
"Thank you, Mr. Mergaard!"
Scarlett looked at the money in her arms, her eyes widened instantly, and she couldn't wait to sit down and count it.
Murgard looked at her greedy appearance, his eyes flashing with contempt. He sneered twice and said, "Scarlett, you will be an employee of the Yaanna Theater from now on. I will pay you 20,000 star coins every month. You can sell me anything you have. If the goods are good, I will give you a salary increase."
Scarlett stopped counting the money and ran to the desk, her face flushed with excitement. "Really?"
Murgaard said "hmm" coldly, showing an unattainable attitude.
"But, Mr. Mergard, if I have to dig ore, I won't be able to go to work on time. Will you deduct my salary?" Scarlett expressed her concerns.
Mergaard glanced at her and said, "No. You just need to come to my office every day and report to work. It's up to you whether you want to work or not. You will still get your salary."
…
…
Scarlett took the work permit signed by Murgaard himself, hung it around her neck, and walked back and forth in the Ya Anna Theater with a proud look, looking like a nouveau riche showing off her wealth.
She would go into every floor and every room. If she was stopped by a bodyguard, she would raise her work ID and say, "See? I'm Mr. Mergaard's special assistant. Do you understand what a special assistant is? Besides Mr. Mergaard, I'm the most powerful! If you don't let me in, I'll fire you!"
The bodyguard saw that the work permit did not seem to be fake, so in order to prevent any accidents, he still called Mergad.
When Mergard heard this, he sneered twice and looked down upon people like Scarlett even more. At the same time, he was glad that she was such a person, so he ordered the bodyguard to let her go.
Hang up the phone.
Mergard looked at Louisa who had walked out of the secret room, took out three files and handed them to Louisa. "Officer Louisa, these are the recent missing persons. Please take care of them."
Louisa took the file, flipped it open and glanced at it, then casually asked, "Mergard, who was the person you were talking to just now?"
Mergaard glanced and said, "An insignificant person."
"Oh, really?"
Louisa closed the file. "Her name is Scarlett, right?"
Mergaard's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't answer.
Louisa smiled. "She's very dangerous. Like me, she comes from somewhere else. If you don't want the people behind you to get into trouble, my advice is to get rid of her as soon as possible!"
…
…
Scarlett wanders around the Ya Anna Theatre.
Finally I wandered around the backyard.
There were several large dogs there, which looked very much like Tibetan mastiffs in size and ferocity.
Scarlett was afraid of dogs and turned away.
The bodyguard following behind her tilted his head and watched her back until she disappeared.
The bodyguard called Mergaard and said, "Mr. Mergaard, she's gone."
Mergaard asked, "Didn't you go into the backyard?"
The bodyguard replied: "She ran away when she saw the dog. She seemed to be very afraid of dogs."
On the other end of the phone, Murgaard was silent for a few seconds, "Continue to send people to follow."
The bodyguard looked at the unconscious male in his hands and asked, "Is this man still feeding the dog?"
Originally, they were going to throw this man into the backyard in front of Scarlett and let him be eaten by the Tibetan mastiffs to see Scarlett's attitude.
If Scarlett called the police or did something else.
She and her beastly husband would definitely not survive this night.
But she walked away without stopping.
This left the bodyguard unsure how to handle the situation.
Mogad said grimly, "If you don't feed the dogs, you can eat it yourself if you want."
The bodyguards shuddered and immediately threw the still-living male into the backyard.
…
…
Scarlett walked around the Anna Theatre in a domineering manner, and had enough fun. It was getting late.
She said hello to Harrison and prepared to take Tyron back.
Harrison offered to take her there.
Scarlett didn't refuse.
Saved another sum of money.
Back home.
Everyone gathered around.
With their eyes narrowed, they all had questions to ask.
Scarlett quickly raised her hand, "If you have any findings, let's talk business first!"
