Let them offer their loyalty

You actually said that one of the most famous figures in District 25 is a fat sheep from outside the area?

Jonas did not remove his disguise when he met the waiter, so it was not surprising that the other party did not recognize him.

However, the middle-aged man didn't know this, so he naturally hated the person who had no sense at all...

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have probably lost half his life here.

Hearing the other party's address, Jonas turned his head slightly and looked at the middle-aged man standing at the door. As if nothing had happened, he spoke:

"I came here to investigate something...about the people of Hwaseong."

Hearing this, Sandy Kunril felt relieved.

In a sense, if someone of the other party's class comes to conduct a transaction, the Chamber of Commerce will get some information before they come.

This is not only to arrange the highest standard of treatment for the other party, but also to make the subsequent transactions smoother.

So when Sandy Kunril saw Jonas in the VIP room, his first reaction was that the other party was up to no good... Coming here without even saying hello, it was hard not to suspect his purpose.

Although Jonas directly stated his purpose, Sandy Kunril did not completely let down his guard.

"What exactly do you want to know...? I will tell you everything I know."

.................................................. .....

Apart from the initial misunderstanding, there were no further conflicts between the two sides.

This made Sandy Kunril gradually feel relieved, and he took Jonas to the place where the Huacheng people were imprisoned.

Most of these people looked a little pale due to long-term lack of nutrition. After seeing Jonas, their faces couldn't help but become even uglier. Among them, the timid girls shrank back, raised their heads and looked timidly at the man standing in front of them.

Many of them came to District 25 with their families to seek refuge, but the final outcome was sad.

"Sir, sir, please buy me, I..."

Someone among them seemed to have made up his mind and started shouting. The middle-aged manager's face changed and he kicked the man.

"Who told you to speak so carelessly in front of Mr. Jonas?"

The middle-aged manager was a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously in front of Jonas. He was afraid that this ungrateful Huacheng man would anger Jonas, so he had to strike first.

As mentioned before, the people from Huacheng who were sold here are the lowest beings, and their value is not even as high as a slave chip.

This is why only a very small number of them have been implanted with slavery chips, and the man who expressed his hope to be bought by Jonas happened to be one of the few people who had been implanted with the chip.

After he was kicked to the ground by the middle-aged manager, a petite little girl came up to him. She seemed to be the man's daughter. After the man was kicked down, she subconsciously wanted to shout, but she held it back. She bit her lower lip, tears in her eyes, and looked at her father worriedly.

Heat spot disease not only causes some of a person's organs to gradually fail, but also causes their physical fitness to decline significantly... It can be said that the risk of getting kicked in such a state is completely different from that in a normal state.

The man who was kicked to the ground couldn't stand up for a long time and curled up on the ground in pain.

Su Lingqing behind Jonas frowned but didn't say anything...she just clenched her fists slightly with a cold look in her eyes.

At that moment, she had the urge to teach the middle-aged manager a lesson.

But Jonas was right beside her, and without his orders, any action she took would be an overstep. She was very clear about her current situation, and also very clear that this might be a test from Jonas.

So Su Lingqing just suppressed this impulse and looked at Jonas...

The latter just glanced at the middle-aged manager and said nothing more.

This made Su Lingqing feel a little disappointed. Although she knew that in this situation, especially when preparing to trade with the other party, it was not the right choice to turn against them, Su Lingqing still couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

Jonas looked at the man who was kicked to the ground, with his name on his clothes.

This is very common among these Huacheng people..The other "slaves" sold were not labeled with names because their previous identities were of no use now.

But these Hwaseong people are different. They all had their own jobs before the turmoil in Hwaseong. Some of them can even find their previous jobs on the Internet. So for these people, the name is a bargaining chip that can be used to "increase value"

—Bill Owen

This was the man's name. The moment this name appeared in Jonas's field of vision, he quickly searched for the other party's identity.

——Backend Engineer at Huacheng Lvwei Technology Co., Ltd....

"Are you a software development engineer?" Jonas asked.

Hearing this, the man felt a little hopeful. He endured the pain in his body and said:

"Yes sir, I am a software engineer from Hwaseong, and the software I develop includes..."

Just as the other party was about to describe his resume of work to increase his impression points in his eyes, Jonas raised his hand to stop him. The man was about to continue to say something, but seeing that Jonas was not interested, his eyes dimmed. He opened his mouth, but said nothing. He just pursed his lips and looked at the little girl next to him.

After coming to District 25 from Hwaseong, his life changed drastically. He contracted heat spot disease, which greatly shortened his life. What made him even more desperate was that there was no company in District 25 willing to accept him as an employee, and there were gang members everywhere who were eyeing them covetously. Even in the end, he could not escape their covetousness and was sold here to become a slave. Even his daughter was not spared.

He knew clearly that he would not live long, so he wanted to make use of his last bit of value and prayed that someone would buy him out and use the remaining value to exchange for his daughter's freedom. In such an environment, this was the only way he could think of to keep his daughter alive.

"Your name is Bill Earn, isn't it?"

Hearing this, the man's dim eyes regained some hope, and he quickly responded:

"Yes, sir."

"Is this your daughter?"

"Yes, I just hope you can take her out. I don't need any salary. I worked for your company until the last moment. This is my only request. Please..."

His body was shaking, and he was crawling on the ground. His body was weak due to the heat rash and looked very thin. His voice was full of pleading. This pitiful look made people feel a little sad.

"Who asked you to make such a request? You should be grateful that Mr. Jonas is willing to buy it!"

The middle-aged man became a little anxious when he heard this. Just as he made a move to raise his foot, the little girl opened her hands and blocked her father with tears in her eyes. Although her eyes were still a little fearful, her actions were very firm.

The middle-aged manager did not stop his actions because of this, but this action was stopped by Su Lingqing behind Jonas.

She really couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and the middle-aged manager was caught off guard and stumbled and fell to the ground.

Su Lingqing did not regret her rash behavior. She just turned her head and looked at Jonas with calm eyes.

Jonas was somewhat helpless, but he had already made up his mind. He walked forward, looked at the middle-aged manager, and said:

"Mr. Sandy, I think I have the answer..."

"Kidnapped employees of the Alt Foundation, trafficked in people, implanted chips, and was suspected of trading company secrets... What the Yinghua Chamber of Commerce did was worse than I thought."

"Ring, do it."

When these words were spoken, not only the middle-aged manager, but even Su Lingqing was stunned.

Su Lingqing originally thought that the other party wanted to buy out all the people from Huacheng here, but it turned out that the other party's idea was even more bizarre than she expected.

The depression in his heart was swept away, and Su Lingqing immediately took out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at the middle-aged manager's head. The latter's body stiffened involuntarily, and he looked at the two people in front of him in disbelief, but dared not move.

He hasn't figured out the other party's purpose yet. He is still trying to understand what Jonas meant by "employees of the Alt Foundation".

These people were all recruited directly by him from the slum gangs, and they had absolutely nothing to do with the Alte Group. It could be seen from the interaction between the two parties just now that they had never met before.

Being able to say such things, there is no doubt that the other party is looking for trouble. And it is not just a small trouble.

With a gun pointed at his head, Sandy was aroused. After all, he was a gang member, so he was no stranger to this situation.

He gritted his teeth, looked at Jonas, and said:

"Mr. Jonas, do you know what you are doing?"

"Of course I know."

Jonas put on his gloves slowly, glanced casually at the middle-aged man in front of him, and said:

"Instead, I want to ask you, where does your Chamber of Commerce get the courage to kidnap and sell employees of my Alt Corporation?"

"This is clearly where we came from the ghetto..."

Halfway through his words, Sandy suddenly thought of the man in front of him's best methods and the several deeds that made him famous. He suddenly understood and looked at Jonas with a little more hostility.

"If you dare to do that, the Yinghua Chamber of Commerce will not let you leave here."

After all, the predecessors of these places were all gangs, and the thing these gang members lack the least is blood.

Jonas dared to take action here, and he came alone, so one of him and his secretary would have to die here.

"I just want the Yinghua Chamber of Commerce to give an explanation. Why would I talk about taking action?"

"——I don't know what kind of explanation Mr. Jonas wants."

Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.

A thin middle-aged man came into the venue while speaking.

The middle-aged manager couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this.

This is the president of the Anglo-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and he has connections with many forces in District 25.

Now that the other party has arrived, today's incident shouldn't be a big deal.

"Mr. Weiting, we at the Yinghua Chamber of Commerce don't want to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean you can accuse us of anything. You said we kidnapped employees of the Alt Group, so you should at least provide evidence."

Hearing this, Jonas looked at the Huacheng men beside him, pointed at them, and said:

"All the witnesses are here, isn't that enough?"

"There is no evidence. These people just came to District 25 a few days ago. How come they are employees of your Alt Corporation?"

"Since I said it, there is naturally evidence."

Jonas spoke softly, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and continued:

"Of course, you are not qualified to see the evidence."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

When the Chamber of Commerce president heard this, he seemed to be extremely angry and laughed.

I originally respected you, Jonas, as a person of character and didn't get angry, but you keep crossing the line again and again. Do you really think that my Anglo-Chinese Chamber of Commerce is afraid of you?

"I'd like to see how Mr. Jonas, with only two of us, could deny us the right to see the evidence."

Hearing this, Jonas said nothing, walked forward and took the gun from Su Lingqing's hand.

Pull the trigger.

--boom.

The bullet passed through the middle-aged manager's head, leaving a pool of blood.

No one present reacted.

For a moment, there was complete silence.

............................................................

PS: This chapter has 4,000 words, and there is another chapter before 6 a.m.

Chapter 338 This is my territory now

The bullet passed through the middle-aged manager's head. There was still confusion and disbelief on his face. But when the chip and prosthesis in his brain stopped working completely, his thoughts and confusion completely disappeared.

Not only the person involved, but even Su Lingqing was unable to react. The president of the Yinghua Chamber of Commerce in front of him was stunned for a long time after the gunshot. After he reacted, his expression instantly became gloomy, and veins bulged on his forehead, as if he could not suppress his anger.

They were still in the negotiation stage, but the other party overturned the table without saying a word. If he had not taken the other party's identity into consideration, he would have ordered his men to arrest the man in front of him.

This shot completely broke the original stalemate, but the people from the Anglo-Chinese Chamber of Commerce did not act rashly.

After all, their boss hasn't spoken yet, so it's naturally difficult for them to make a decision on their own.

"So you are completely falling out?"

It is said that a strong dragon cannot overthrow a local snake. Jonas Wetting has repeatedly trampled on the face of their Chamber of Commerce, which is a bit too contemptuous.

Your Alte Group is not the only one that dominates these twenty-five districts. What gives you the right to be so arrogant?

Although he thought so, he was not blinded by anger.

Although Jonas had acted ostentatiously before, he was definitely not reckless. In this case, when the other party only brought a secretary, if the Anglo-Chinese Chamber of Commerce ignored the consequences, Jonas would really be in big trouble.

Considering what the other party had just said, that he came for the matter of the people in Huacheng...he had some more speculations about this matter in his mind.

Although this group of Huacheng people have no backing, they are in a very special position. If the Alte Group has some plans for this matter, it is not difficult to imagine that there will be the shadow of the administrative department or the arbitration bureau behind this matter.

Thinking back to the attitude of some of the consortium contacts who had warned him to be careful about this matter, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Perhaps he had been drawn into a conspiracy surrounding the executive branch without even realizing it.

If he had reacted earlier, things might not have gotten to this point, but the opponent's shot had undoubtedly put him in a difficult position. The opponent was forcing him to make a decision.
