C778 Unbreakable Hostages
C778 Unbreakable Hostages
There was no written proof to this remittance, but Xia Lei was not worried that the Knights Hospitaller would cheat him of this money at all. The other side valued Glory more than anything else. This was one of them. Furthermore, the silver metal that was regarded as holy by the Knights Hospitaller was still in his hands, so he was not worried at all that the Knights Hospitaller would not follow through with the agreement.
Fifty million dollars. It was a huge sum of money, but to him it was only a number. He was willing to give fifty million dollars to redeem Amanda and Piao Taiyong, so he didn't mind using fifty million dollars to buy assassins, mercenaries and armed men to start a war with the FA!
Fifty million USD, along with the fanatical believers of the Knights Hospitaller, as well as the chemical reactions produced by the Rayma Group's weapons and equipment were hard to predict. However, one could imagine that the FA would face its biggest survival crisis since its inception!
The flames of vengeance were beginning to burn.
"Mr. Xia, the four of them will stay with you. I hope you treat them well. " At the entrance of the Peaceful Mansion, Arthur said to Xia Lei.
Xia Lei said: "If you're not at ease, you should bring them back."
"No, no, no." Arthur waved his hands, "I said that I would make them stay as hostages, so I must keep my promise. Mr. Xia, you won't let me become a dishonest person, will you? "
Xia Lei shrugged his shoulders. Since Arthur had said everything, he had nothing else to say. However, he was very clear that Arthur had left the Gray's sisters and their Russo's sisters behind. However, he did not care because from his point of view, other than their looks, the abilities of these four women were not very good.
"Can I have a word with them?" Arthur was very kind.
Xia Lei laughed, "They are your people, why would you ask for my permission? You can talk to them all day if you like. "
"Not all day. I only need a few minutes." Arthur walked towards the corner where the door was located.
The Gray's sisters and the Russo's sisters also walked towards the corner.
Xia Lei thought that Arthur and the four women were just waiting at the corner for a conversation, but unexpectedly, Arthur turned the corner and walked to the back of the wall. The four women followed him around the corner, avoiding his sight.
Xia Lei could not help but laugh. His left eye twitched and five people who were standing behind the corner and secretly conversing with him immediately entered his line of sight. It was at that time that lip language comprehension skills were activated.
"Mr. Arthur, why did you ask us to stay? We can't do anything here. " Rosa said.
"That's right, let's follow you back. We want to start a war with the FA. We are not afraid of death." Giovanna said.
Stella and Theresa also said something similar. The four women couldn't understand why Arthur had asked them to stay, and they obviously didn't want to.
"Enough, all of you stop talking. I have made my decision and I will not change it. " Arthur's expression became serious, "Now listen to me, this is very important!"
The four women immediately quieted down.
"I didn't keep you guys here to play. I have a mission for you." Arthur lowered his voice, "You have to gather all the information on Xia Lei, if there is anything, you have to report it to me. Also, get close to him and pry into the information of the sacred objects at all times. "Also, you have to find out how much he knows about the secrets of the sacred relic, which is very important to us."
"Mr. Arthur, he is so cunning, how can we do that?" Stella looked very worried. She remembered what had happened last night. The four of them, including Arthur, were completely tricked by Xia Lei. But now, Arthur actually allowed them to play spy with Xia Lei, this kind of thing was really scary just thinking about it.
"This is an order!" You must carry it out, and you must also complete it! " Arthur said coldly: "Did you forget about the training? Do you need me to teach you how to deal with a man? You have a natural advantage, and he has a natural weakness. Use your brain and you will succeed. "
The four women glanced at each other, but no one dared to speak. However, they understood Arthur's meaning. Their bodies were the best weapon for dealing with men. Arthur wanted their peach-colored cannons to bomb Xia Lei and capture him.
"Well, that's it. You guys know how to contact him, but you must be careful and not let Xia Lei know. " Arthur said.
The four women nodded in unison and said in unison, "Protect the faith and help the suffering!"
Xia Lei retracted his gaze. He wasn't surprised at Arthur giving the four women such a mission, he just felt a headache coming on. He also thought to himself, "How much did he let me know about the sacred artifact after receiving their information? If I know more, after Knights Hospitaller obtained the sacred artifact, would he turn his spearhead and kill me?"
This was a possibility, because only the mouths of the dead were stable.
Arthur walked out of a corner with four women. Arthur was all smiles, as if nothing had happened just now. He said, "Mr. Xia, I'm leaving. Please stay in touch. I will pass on the relevant information to you at any time. In addition, I would like to ask when we will be able to obtain our weapons. "
Xia Lei said: "I will have the clients in South America prepare it for you. You can take all the weapons you need from my clients.
"Mm, this is for the best. "Goodbye then." Arthur walked towards a taxi that was waiting by the side of the road. That car was called by Xia Lei. He did not want his men to send Arthur away, and even more so, did not want others to discover that he was in contact with the people from the Knights Hospitaller.
"Mr. Xia." Giovanna said with a very gentle voice: "Can you accompany us for a walk? We want to familiarize ourselves with the environment. "
"I'm not free, go and find the aunt who sweeps the floor. She will fulfill your request." After throwing down those words, Xia Lei turned around and walked towards the Rayma Military Factory.
Gray's's sisters and Russo's's sisters looked at each other, then looked at Xia Lei's back.
The second day after Arthur left, Liu Zhengnan and Qing Caiyue returned, even the Scavenger infantry fighting vehicle that was sent to France to participate in the exhibition returned as well. Xia Lei personally went to pick up the plane, but before he could leave the airport, he was surrounded by reporters.
"Mr. Xia, may I ask if the Scavenger infantry fighting vehicle is a new type of chariot that was created by the Rayma Group?"
"Mr. Xia, the Western media is praising the superiority of Scavenger infantry fighting vehicle, but there is also a media saying that Scavenger infantry fighting vehicle s are the technology used to steal the chariots of Rhine Metal Corp, is that true?"
"Mr. Xia, can this kind of chariot be mass-produced?"
"Mr. Xia, will our army be equipped with Scavenger infantry fighting vehicle?"
"Mr. Xia, why is the Scavenger infantry fighting vehicle being displayed abroad instead of in the country? Is it an export-type weapon? "
A bunch of reporters, a bunch of questions.
Xia Lei raised his hand and waited for the situation to quiet down before saying: "I don't have anything to say for now, please come to Rayma Military Factory tomorrow, I will hold a press conference on the Scavenger infantry fighting vehicle s. When the time comes, not only will I satisfy your questions, you will also have the chance to personally see our Scavenger infantry fighting vehicle practice on the spot. "
"Mr. Xia ?"
"Mr. Xia ?"
Xia Lei no longer answered any questions, he pushed through the reporters blocking the way and brought Liu Zhengnan and Xia Xue who came to meet them to leave.
"Bro, are you really going to hold a press conference?" asked as he got into the car.
"Of course, why not? Wouldn't it be foolish for us to hide something good? If the media likes it, they can just fire it. That would be giving us free advertising. " Xia Lei said.
Xia Xue chuckled: "Brother, then leave the planning to me."
"Sure, no problem." Xia Lei agreed without hesitation. Since his sister's ability to work was getting stronger and stronger, it was time for her to take care of some work by herself.
"Let me help you." Liu Zhengnan said.
"Yes." Xia Xue smiled even more sweetly, "I knew you loved me the most?"
Xia Lei frowned, "Am I actually behind the real man?"
"You guys are ranked first!" Xia Xue said.
Laughter filled the car.
Returning to Rayma Military Factory, Xia Lei invited a few people. Xia Xue and Liu Zhengnan began to plan for tomorrow's press conference.
Early morning of the next day, all sorts of media outlets rushed over to Rayma Military Factory. All the large and small news cars, as well as the big television station's signboard female anchors, also appeared on stage, ready to interview Xia Lei. Some of the guests had also arrived early, and Shi Boren and Tang Tianlong even wanted to recruit some of the military personnel.
Those that Xia Lei did not invite also came over, Mu Jiangfeng and Ye Kun, along with others. Xia Lei did not invite them, but they could still participate in the press conference in the official name.
The press conference was held at the Rayma Military Factory's shooting-range. Xia Xue and Liu Zhengnan had set up a stage and spectators area, and there was a red carpet on a path leading to the stage, making them look like they were talking.
When the time came, Xia Lei stepped onto the red carpet and walked up to the podium calmly. He did not invite any leaders to make a speech, but instead went up on stage to introduce the information related to Scavenger infantry fighting vehicle, as well as the future production plan. All sorts of reporters were asking questions, and he was able to easily answer them without any signs of stage fright. Standing on the platform, he didn't look like an entrepreneur, but more like a political dignitary with a strong aura.
"Why doesn't he die?" Mu Jiangfeng looked at Xia Lei who was standing on the stage, confidently talking with a terrifyingly gloomy face.
"I also find it strange. So many people wanted him to die, yet not only did he not die, he even lived on and became more nourished." Ye Kun was also depressed.
"We have to stop supplying him with components for the manufacture of light weapons. We have to!" Mu Jiangfeng's tone was very resolute.
Ye Kun frowned, "That brat has our information in his hands, if we stop supplying parts and components to the Rayma Group, that would mean ?."
Mu Jiangfeng interrupted Ye Kun, "Rather than getting bitten to death by him, it's better to die standing."
"Teacher, please speak frankly. Whose intention is this?" Ye Kun said. He never believed that Mu Jiangfeng was someone who would "die standing".
Just then, Ling Hao walked over, "Is it very important who has the intention to say this? I feel that your two companies will be eliminated by the Rayma Group in a few years. This is the most important thing. "
Ye Kun seemed to understand something. He nodded his head, but did not say anything.
Ling Hao said indifferently, "I feel that Elder Mu is right. Rather than getting bitten to death by him, it's better to bet on it. If we fight, he might die, not you guys. Do you think I'm right? "
"Then may I ask Mister Ling to lend a helping hand?" Mu Jiangfeng said with a smile.
Ling Hao laughed. His gaze shifted towards Yu Shanhe's direction.
Yu Shanhe did not come over. He looked at Xia Lei, his brows knitted tightly, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
