Why it never ends

Chapter 1120 Method

Boheng's eyes briefly glanced away, then quickly fell back on Hesta.

“You are trading with me.”

Hesta's lips sank slightly, but his eyes were smiling: "Do you accept this deal?"

"I did go to Deep Anchor's base, but I went empty-handed," Bo Heng said softly, "They took nothing from me."

"Very good. This shows that I am different from Deep Anchor's group in your eyes." Hesta tilted his head slightly. "At least you are willing to leave the two students you trust and the twelve Kasyapas with me now."

"…But this is not a deal, Jane," Boheng lowered his voice, "I do this because I trust you—"

"If the person standing in front of me now is Aji or Anarut, would I still be willing to risk violating the rules and promise to take him to the underground base of Mercury Needle?"

Bo Heng's eyes moved slightly, and he was about to say something when he was interrupted by Hesta again.

"Perhaps you have heard of it, or perhaps you haven't. The rules and regulations within AHgAs are strict to the point of being harsh—"

"I know," Bo Heng continued, "This is probably why some deep anchors hate AHgAs so much."

"Then you understand the significance of this deal," Hesta's smile faded, "You must first understand what this invitation means to me."

"I can't decide this kind of thing by myself. When I get back, I'll talk to Aji—"

"You decide, you have to decide." Hesta said directly, "Have you forgotten what I asked you in Grenoble? Boheng, if you must discuss this with Aji before you can make this deal with me, then..."

Hesta narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing more.

Bo Heng finally began to weigh the pros and cons seriously—

Although Hesta's request seemed very overbearing, it seemed that it was not without value. Bo Heng speculated that Hesta had a backup plan. If she did not strengthen the weight of the cooperation, she would not continue to show her hand. Moreover, if he made concessions on this matter, then if the whale man in the backyard was indeed a priest, it would be easier for him to ask Hesta for someone...

But more importantly, Bo Heng realized that he could no longer use Aji as an excuse in the future - in Hesta's place, this was obviously regarded as a sign of weakness.

"Fifty is still too many after all." Bo Heng replied, "And you have to know that fifty children - even if they are only eight or nine years old now, or even younger, in just a few years, they will be enough to become several powerful combat teams... Let's assume that this is a deal, Jane, don't you think that you haven't provided me with equal bargaining chips?"

Bo Heng stared at Hesta's face. He longed to hear more clear promises from Hesta, even if it was just verbal. At least he could use this to guess Hesta's next plan...

However, Hesta's gaze suddenly became complicated and subtle.

"What's wrong?" Bo Heng asked.

Hesta sighed softly and put his hand, which was originally on the rearview mirror, back into his pocket.

"...You are not the only one I can look for, Boheng."

Both of them fell silent, but neither Hesta nor Boheng took their eyes off each other. Boheng laughed first: "Jane, the situation in the south is very complicated. You have to know that they are all ruthless guys. Do you think you can get an advantage by doing business with them? Don't be naive--"

"I know," Hesta said softly, "So I came to you first - I hope that every time in the future, I can come to you first, which is good for both of us."

Bo Heng was slightly stunned. He didn't know how to say what he wanted to say. He frowned slightly: "...Do we have to talk to each other to this extent?"

"We cannot pretend that our trust comes without cost, as you clearly know."

"...I can't give you an answer right away." "How long will it take you to think about it?"

"This is not a matter of time," Bo Heng said, "Jane, you can try somewhere else."

"Well, I'll give you a week," Hesta said. "If you've made up your mind within a week, feel free to contact me. I'll pick you up in person like I did last time. But if it's after this time, I can only..."

Hesta stopped talking and Boheng did not ask any more questions. He opened the car door and jumped in silently.

The engine started and he glanced toward the window—Hesta was still standing there.

"Then this is a deal," Bo Heng said, "Even if we can't make this deal, we can still be good friends, right?"

Hesta returned to his previous smile, "Of course."

Bo Heng sighed helplessly, his hands on the steering wheel, but he was reluctant to step on the accelerator.

"No one here knows me earlier than you." Bo Heng suddenly said.

"Me too," Hesta replied immediately.

……

In the evening, in Stella's studio, Ximoya listened in amazement as Hesta recounted what had happened that day.

"...Bringing a revolutionary from the southern district to visit our base? Are you crazy or am I crazy!?" Ximoya shouted as she rushed to the computer. After checking her mailbox repeatedly, she looked at Hesta, "Where's the email? Why didn't you copy it to me?"

"What email?" Hesta reached out and picked up the water cup beside him, looking at Ximoya rushing around with great curiosity.

"It's an email from Office 2!" Ximoya said impatiently, "Didn't you make a deal with Boheng to get him to give you another fifty Kasyapa? When did Office 2 reply to you to say that they approved your use of the underground base in District ? Why didn't they send me the relevant authorization documents?"

"Because... they haven't approved it yet?"

Ximoya's expression completely froze.

Having just woken up, she felt that she was still a little slow at the moment, so she couldn't follow Hesta's thoughts very well.

"Ah, no, no approval... but, but you have already told Bo Heng... uh..." Ximoya took a deep breath and finally understood, "You are lying to him! You lied to him that you can use the Mercury Needle Underground Base in Area 12!"

"How can you be a liar?" Hesta said unconvincedly, "Office 2 will approve it sooner or later."

"But what if they refuse to approve it?"

"Then let's continue to increase the bet," Hesta said, "Last time we only reported two Kasyapas, Jiahoduolei and Yunis, this time we will report five more."

Ximoya: "...What if it's not okay to report five more?"

"Then we can only report fifty more." Hesta said calmly, "But I don't want Office 2 to know how many people we have so early."

"…But if I report fifty more, that won't work!"

"Then think of another way," Hesta looked at Ximoya, "What's that expression on your face? There will always be a way."
