American comics: Super Omega Mutant
Chapter 178 Rewards for Action
As soon as she entered the pub, Diana frowned.
Then, he asked Roy, "Are they the helpers Steve is looking for? They don't look like good people?"
Diana didn't judge people by their appearance, but the guests in the tavern were all a little unruly and gave people a very unreliable feeling.
"Yes."
"But not all of them. He probably only wants to find one or two of them."
Roy said slowly.
Like Diana, he didn't really like the pub environment.
Although the pub was not as dim as the bars of later generations and did not have deafening DJ sounds, the noise inside the pub was not much better than that of the bars of later generations.
Not long after entering the tavern, Steve saw Samir who was fooling others.
Samir, who looked very gentle in a gray suit, looked at the men around him seriously and said in an extremely sincere tone: "Even in Africa, I have never seen such a lucrative business."
"If this business falls into our hands, it will be hard not to make a lot of money."
"My uncle, I, and an African prince have already prepared..."
At this moment, Steve, who had been watching Samir for some time, slapped his hand on the barrier next to him and said, "Wait a minute, which African prince are you talking about?"
When Samir saw that the person speaking was Steve, he immediately retracted his gaze and cursed Steve in his heart.
"I have decided to forgive your disrespect!"
Samir remained calm and prepared to continue fooling the men around him.
Steve wasn't going to let him go like that, so he continued, "Seriously, which prince is it?"
"Sudan, Angola, or some other country?"
"Can we talk for a moment?"
Seeing that Steve was not going to let him continue with his "business" tonight, Samir tried to keep a smile on his face and said to the men around him: "Gentlemen, excuse me for a moment!"
After that, Samir stood up and walked out, followed Steve to the bar, and said to Steve with an unhappy face: "You bastard, I'm about to convince them to invest. Do you know how much money I can make tonight?"
"Now because of you, the money that is about to be in my hands is flying away!"
"You smug bastard!"
If Samir could beat Steve, he would really want to punch Steve now.
As the saying goes, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing his parents.
After scolding Steve, Samir's eyes fell on Roy and Diana.
He simply ignored Roy and looked at Diana in surprise.
At this time, Diana was wearing a gray suit jacket and skirt similar to the one in the movie, a dark top hat on her head, and a pair of black glasses that made her look more intellectual.
After seeing Diana, Samir couldn't take his eyes off her.
"Oh my god, you are a perfect work of art!"
Samir praised Diana as he usually did.
Before Diana could answer, Steve introduced her and Roy to Samir.
"Samir, this is Diana, and that is Diana's fiancé Roy."
Steve said to Samir.
fiancé?
When Samir heard that Roy was Diana's fiancé, he was immediately stunned.
Then, he complained about Roy in his heart.
This guy doesn't look anything special except that he's a little more handsome and younger!
Could it be that Diana likes young men like him with greasy hair and powdered face?
Although he thought so in his heart, Samir did not show it on his face. He immediately stretched out his right hand towards Diana and said to her: "Hello Diana, nice to meet you, you can just call me Sammy."
"Sammy?"
Diana didn't notice Samir's little thoughts and looked at Samir with confusion.
Seeing that Diana had no intention of shaking his hand, Samir decided to take the initiative.
Without any hesitation, he immediately stepped forward and prepared to give Diana a hug.
However, as soon as he raised his hands, Roy gave Samir a small mental shock.
Samir's body immediately trembled, and he felt an unspeakable fear in his heart. He took a step back unconsciously, and all the little thoughts in his mind disappeared without a trace.
Neither Diana nor Steve noticed that Roy had given Samir a mental shock.
However, when Steve saw Samir step back on his own initiative, he realized something and glanced at Roy unconsciously.
He did not ask whether Roy had used magic just now, but said: "Samir is a top spy, eloquent and proficient in many languages."
After hearing what Steve said, Diana said to Samir in French without any hesitation: "You don't look that great."
Without any hesitation, Samir immediately responded to Diana in Italian: "You look the same."
Then, in Spanish, "Your eyes are as gentle as your smile."
"And the look in your eyes tells me what you want."
Diana replied in Russian.
"I can also speak Chinese, beautiful girl!"
Not to be outdone, Samir spoke in Chinese.
“Can you recite Socrates’ famous sayings in ancient Greek?”
Diana looked at Samir calmly and spoke slowly in ancient Greek.
amount……
Samir was stunned.
Not to mention reciting Socrates' famous saying in ancient Greek, he didn't even recognize what language Diana had just spoken.
Not only him, Roy and Steve also didn't know what language Diana had just used.
Although he didn't hear what language Diana used just now, after seeing Diana and Samir talking in multiple languages, an idea unconsciously popped up in Roy's mind.
It would be fun to have Diana speak in different languages while playing cards!
Decision made, let’s try to make Diana speak a different language tonight!
Roy quickly made a decision.
"Great, you guys are finally done, where's Charlie?"
Steve said to Samir who looked a little lost.
Just as Samir was about to answer Steve, the sound of a wine glass being smashed came from the other side of the bar.
In addition, there were sounds of people's surprise and fists hitting each other.
Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a bald man shooting a man who looked a bit comical in the head.
"Where is he!"
Samir said, pointing at the two men fighting.
Under the gaze of everyone, the bald man first pinned the comic-looking man down on the bar and punched him several times.
Then, he pulled the other person out, pressed him against the wall, and punched him repeatedly in the head.
After seeing this scene, Diana said seriously: "At least Charlie's fist looks okay."
Steve shook his head and said, "That's not Charlie!"
Diana looked surprised.
She instinctively thought that the bald man who beat people was Charlie.
It turned out that she was overthinking.
The one who was beaten up was Charlie.
Under their gaze, Charlie, who was punched dozens of times by the bald man, fell backwards without any suspense and hit the ground.
When Charlie fell to the ground, the bald man kicked him again and then left cursing.
As the bald man left, Charlie slowly stood up.
Steve and Samir stepped forward without any hesitation.
On a table near the bar.
Roy and the others sat down and watched Charlie pick up a glass of liquor and drink it in one gulp.
"Steve, may God bless you!" Putting down the wine glass, Charlie said to Steve like a drunkard.
After saying that, he picked up Steve's glass without waiting for Steve to answer.
"Why did you fight just now?"
Diana asked Charlie.
"I accidentally took his cup by mistake."
"Mistakes are inevitable, and that's normal."
Charlie replied indifferently.
After hearing Charlie's answer, Diana turned to look at Steve and said seriously: "I'm sure he's not a warrior at all."
"Charlie is a professional sniper."
"A sniper means he has good marksmanship and is very accurate, and can kill the enemy from a long distance."
Steve said slowly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Charlie laughed like a fool and said quickly: “They don’t know how they died, hehehe…”
"How do you know who you hit when you can't see their faces?"
Diana said, frowning.
Although Amazon warriors also use bows and arrows, the range of the bows and arrows is not very far, so they can see what the target looks like clearly.
"I have no idea!"
“But this is actually a good thing.”
Charlie replied.
"You fought with no honor!"
Diana said, frowning.
"How much is honor worth? Who will pay for my honor? You?"
Charlie replied very casually.
Just as Diana was about to say something else, Roy's voice rang out.
"Stop wasting everyone's time, Steve, and get down to business."
Roy said to Steve.
"it is good!"
Steve nodded.
Then, he said to Samir and Charlie, "We are going to Belgium. It will take at most two days, including the time to prepare supplies."
"How much is the pay for this job?"
Charlie asked directly.
“It better be a good price!”
Samir added.
After hearing what they said, Steve's expression became a little awkward, and he slowly said: "The situation is like this... um... this trip is very short, and you will gain a lot..."
"It's for a noble cause... freedom... friendship... peace... an end to war..."
Seeing Steve's hesitation, Samir and Charlie guessed what he wanted to say.
"To put it simply, if you don't have money, we won't get anything from this job, right?"
Samir said to Steve.
"Yes!"
Steve replied.
Samir turned to Diana without any hesitation and said to her in French: "I just want a photo of this beautiful woman."
"You don't need a picture, I'll go with you guys!"
Diana replied.
Samir looked at Diana in surprise.
Just as he was about to say something else, Roy said, "A 1000-gram gold brick for each person. This is your reward!"
what?
After hearing his words, Steve, Samir and Charlie all showed surprised expressions.
In 1821, Britain began to adopt the gold standard, and the pound became the standard currency unit of the United Kingdom, with 1 pound equivalent to 7.32 grams of gold.
In 1914, when the First World War broke out, Britain abolished the gold standard and stopped the circulation of gold coins and the exchange of gold.
Although the official gold exchange was stopped, private gold exchange not only did not stop, but became more active.
The pawn shop where Roy exchanged gold for pounds at noon today is a good example.
Based on the conversion rate of 1 grams of gold to 7.32 pound, a 1000-gram gold bar is equivalent to 136 pounds.
If you look at the numbers alone, £136 isn't a lot.
But in fact, this is a considerable fortune.
Today, 1 pound can buy 192 kg of bread, 80 kg of sugar and 15 kg of butter.
Assuming that all the money is used to purchase sugar, 136 pounds can purchase 10880 kilograms of sugar, or 10.8 tons of sugar.
While Samir and Charlie were still looking at Roy in surprise, Steve was the first to react and said to Roy, "I don't have any gold, let alone two 1000-gram gold bars!"
"I know you don't have it, and I don't expect you to pay it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Roy took out two gold bricks from the system space and placed them on the table casually.
amount……
After seeing the gold bricks on the table, Samir and Charlie took one each without any hesitation and said in unison: "Deal! We'll take this job!"
Roy's decision to hire Samir and Charlie at his own expense was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a decision made after careful consideration.
First of all, this expense is nothing to him.
Secondly, he did not sense Ares appearing near the tavern.
According to the development in the movie, after Steve failed to convince Samir and Charlie to join, Ares came to the tavern and provided Steve with funds for the operation.
In return, Steve was to report to him on the progress of the operation.
Roy wanted to see if Ares could still know their exact whereabouts without Steve's "tip-off".
Finally, there is another advantage of having him pay the money, which is that Samir and Charlie will assume that he is the boss.
Whoever is responsible for paying the money is the boss!
This is an unquestionable unspoken rule.
After Samir and Charlie took the gold bars, they immediately checked them.
Samir's actions were more gentle, he just pinched the gold brick with his fingernails.
Charlie was much more rude.
Charlie picked up the gold brick directly, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
After seeing the bite marks on the gold brick, he smiled with satisfaction.
Then, the two of them put the gold bars into their shirt pockets with satisfaction.
They had just put away the gold bars when the bald man who had beaten Charlie up came towards Charlie with a revolver in his hand and an angry face.
"You damned thief!"
The bald man pointed a gun at Charlie's head and shouted.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger and kill Charlie, Diana, who was sitting next to Roy, took action.
Diana quickly came to the bald man, grabbed his right hand and took the revolver from his hand.
Then, with a slight force, the bald man was thrown several meters away, hit a table, and fell to the ground in a very embarrassed manner.
After doing this, Diana returned to Roy with the revolver and handed the revolver to Roy.
Water molecule transformation!
Roy took the revolver and without any hesitation, immediately performed the water molecule transformation.
