This Terra is a little weird.

"Well, that's the only way."

"Well, have you ever thought that there might be more than just the three of us?"

"I...know."

"Well, even an idiot knows what Froststar means. Mudstone may look simple-minded, but this girl is very smart, and her feelings are obvious. I can only say that after I drugged her, the idiot has perfectly restrained himself. After all, those two are not inferior to us, and there is also the girl from Penguin Logistics. The whole family was saved. I don't think much of her, but I know she will repay the favor. However, Cardia is now in its heyday, and there is nothing to help. So it is also okay to form a family with the other party in Syracuse's way."

W played with the bomb in his hand, took the tea handed to him by Tallulah, and drank it down in one gulp.

"This, the Syracuse people would really do this." Tallulah seemed helpless. The situation in Texas was indeed a bit troublesome. Luo Chen also knew it and had been deliberately avoiding it.

But that girl was as stubborn as that thing. The more Texas tried to hide, the more he tried to get close to her. It wasn't that Texas did it on purpose, but that she regarded repaying a favor as a mission. Repaying a favor just for the sake of repaying a favor, how could it be her own meaning?

What Luo Chen wanted more was that Texas could become a great help at some critical moment, so it would be best to end this favor directly.

But the difficulty lies in the fact that, after a long time, the girl really developed feelings for him.

Tallulah quickly shook off the thoughts in her mind and decided to enjoy today.

Let’s talk about the future later.

Chapter 194: Where is Skadi?

"Hey, Tasan, what are you doing at home?"

Things happened very suddenly. There was an important person's security mission that needed to be handled immediately, and the other party specifically asked Luo Chen to go as well.

The time is not long. The contract stipulates that there is only one day for them to go to REMBIT. If Lei Ying leaves in the early morning, he can arrive there and return before dinner in the evening.

That's right, he needs a few people to help. According to the duty roster, Tallulah and the others are almost on duty all year round, and since they finally have a long vacation, they won't call them.

Luo Chen remembered the situations of all other employees in the company, so he only called the dozen or so people who might be able to come.

"Oh oh oh! Luo Chen, what's the matter?"

Tasan was once a member of the Reunion Stormtroopers. After retirement, he followed Luo Chen and is still one of the elite employees today.

He never calls him boss. In formal occasions, he calls him general, but in private, he just calls him by his name.

"Ah, Mr. Sambuchi, you know that, don't you?"

"That great Colombian philanthropist? What happened? What happened?"

"He's not dead. He sent me a contract to go to REM Billiton. I don't know what he's going to do. I just wanted to call and ask if you want to take the order."

"Answer it. I'm free right now. It's boring to drink at home all the time."

"Don't drink too much. I'll pick you up in my Thunderhawk tomorrow morning."

"Row."

Later, Luo Chen made a few more phone calls, gathered a team of five people, and then gave up.

"Achen! It's time for dinner!"

"What's for dinner tonight?"

"A seafood feast, ordered takeout." Alina took the plates out of the box one by one.

No one in the house knows how to cook seafood, so since they are at the seaside, of course they have to taste the flavor of the sea. They are too lazy to go to a restaurant today, so they might as well order takeout.

After Mud Rock finished eating a whole shrimp, he asked, "Mr. Luo Chen, are you really not going to take us with you?"

Luo Chen shook his head: "Have fun, the other side specifically asked for me, I will only be there tomorrow. Also, I have to go to Syracuse. Suddenly I remembered that I... haven't collected any money for more than two years."

Tallulah was a little confused: "Didn't you stop doing business with the Mafia a long time ago?"

Luo Chen nodded: "They still owe me money, high-interest loans, hehe, it can be considered a big source of income."

Skadi thought for a moment and said, "Luo Chen, can you help me with a mission?"

"What? A bounty hunter's order? I won't do it."

"Eh? Don't be like this, wasn't everything fine last time?"

"What a good boss! Before you joined Rhodes Island, the remaining orders were worse than the last. I've been wronged once, and if I'm wronged again, wouldn't I be a clown? I won't do it. I won't do it!"

"Hey, Luo Chen, please think about it carefully. How about we split it 20-80?"

"If you give me 0 and I give you 10, I will definitely do it."

“But this is my list.”

Luo Chen took a bite of the shrimp meat fiercely: "How dare you say that? Look at what you picked up? What kind of express insect-type Originium creatures, what kind of large monsters, and what else, especially those insects... Anyway, I don't want to do it, please find someone else."

"Oh! What a pity! This is the last order, the bonus is quadruple!"

"You said you didn't do anything. Your... that Grani, isn't she doing nothing every day?"

"She's very busy now."

Luo Chen picked up the contract: "I'm busy too."

Tallulah kicked Luo Chen and said, "Skadi, I'll take this order. Can I finish it with you when I get back? I only want 30% of the bonus. Is that okay with you?"

"Hmmmm! Tallulah is still the best. Luo Chen and the others are mean and petty. Lulululu!"

Luo Chen's eyelids twitched several times. This Skadi, once he got to know her well, was like a killer whale.

Be calm, you must be calm.

After dinner, Luo Chen went to bed early. After all, he had to get up early the next morning to ride the Thunder Eagle.

Early the next morning, Luo Chen tiptoed out and picked up the food that Alina had prepared last night as breakfast.

Run to the open space outside the city and wait for the Thunder Eagle to fly over.

Looking at the crooked way the Thunder Eagle landed, Luo Chen knew who the pilot was.

"Damn it, Gorm, you can't get up early in the morning and drink?!"

"Just a small cup! Really, just a small cup!"

"Get lost! You and Tasan are really good drinking buddies. Next time you dare to drive a Thunderhawk after drinking, I will cut you."

Gorm waved his hand: "Oh, my good general, hurry up and get it done, old man, we will go to pick up Lekski next time."

Seeing him like this, Luo Chen quickly grabbed the Thunder Eagle and said, "Take a rest, old man. By the time you get to RemBitto, I will be gone."

Gorm gave up the driving seat, lay down on the seat in the cabin and fell asleep.

Luo Chen shook his head. Gorm was not like this originally. His wife had just died of mineral disease recently. Because the Originium crystals compressed the nerves and important organs, the special medicine could not cure it at all, so she did not survive...

Gorm suffered a severe mental blow and lived on alcohol. Now, Luo Chen trusted his driving skills because he once transported an entire team of wounded Thunder Eagles back to the field hospital despite losing a lot of blood. As soon as he dropped the Thunder Eagle, he fell to the ground.

I had to lie in the hospital for a month before I could get up and move around.

Drinking a little doesn't affect him much.

Gorm's wife died of oripathy, and no one said a word of condolence when they attended the funeral.

Gom is a strong-willed man, and his wife is the same as him, so he won't accept these words.

All we can do is treat Gorm as we did before.

Luo Chen quickly picked up everyone, and after arriving at the designated location, everyone prepared to put on their equipment, as Sambuchi was one of the well-known entrepreneurs on earth and one of the founders of the Children's Rescue Foundation.

Therefore, everyone's equipment is very comprehensive and can be used in various emergencies.

As a result, when I met Sambuchi, I saw his bitter smile and thought something was wrong with them.

"Mr. Sambucci?"

"Oh, sorry, sorry, you don't have to wear such comprehensive clothing, and I'm going to the orphanage now, you guys..."

The five people looked at each other. Apart from the protective system, they were covered with weapons. How could they wear such equipment?

Everyone had no choice but to run back to Thunder Eagle, change into polymer bulletproof liners, put on standard bodyguard suits, and were not allowed to bring any guns into the welfare home.

So, without weapons during the mission, the grown men felt a little at a loss. No matter how bad the situation was in the past, they would wear rings on their knuckles specifically for fighting, similar to brass knuckles, but not a whole set. They were invented by the old guys in Cardia specifically for beating people.

It can be hidden in gloves and is lighter than brass knuckles.

But Luo Chen’s evaluation is that it is not as good as pointing at a tiger.

But since those grown men like it, just take it with you, it doesn’t matter.

This time, Sangbu requested that no iron tools should be held in the hands or exposed, because many of the orphans in this orphanage were orphaned due to violent conflicts.

Many people have shadows in their hearts.

If Sang Buqi's deeds were not true, Luo Chen would have suspected that there was an ambush in the welfare home.

Sambuchi and the dean were walking in front, and the dean kept introducing the various facilities, personnel, and work.

"Everything is done in accordance with international standards, please rest assured."

"The facilities in the hospital are adequate, but you must pay more attention to the mental health, comfort, future education and other aspects of the children."

"Yes, we are currently organizing a large number of personnel to receive training and strive to do our best."

"Well, let me go check on the kids."

Sambuchi slowly looked at the children who were in class. Many of them were infected, but they sat with normal children.

After the inspection, Sangbuchi told Luo Chen the real purpose of calling him here.

"Mr. Luo Chen, I'm sure you've seen the situation of the children, especially the infected ones. Our association wants to buy a batch of special medicines from Cardia. Can you give us a discount?"

"How much discount?"

"How about 30% off?"

"No."

It's not that Luo Chen is cruel, but the sales direction of special-effect drugs has been framed from the very beginning. After deducting the annual quota of each country, the amount left for Cardia to sell freely is only about 70,000 tablets, and most of them will be sold at low prices to seriously ill patients who can be treated. The rest will also be supplied to several seriously ill patients in the company, and there is really no space left.

Moreover, as the war is approaching, special-effect drugs have been listed as important strategic materials, and everyone is stockpiling them. If Cardia makes them, it will definitely be sold, but who they are sold to is not up to the company. This stuff can make Cardia fat in one go, or it can destroy Cardia overnight, and even Ursus cannot be saved.

unless......

"Mr. Sambuchi, it's not that I don't want to give you a discount. If possible, I would even give it to you for free. I know what you want to tell me: children are the future."

"Hmm..." Sambuchi nodded.

"But you also have to understand that the next thing the Earth will face is another race. We even need every warrior with combat effectiveness to go to the battlefield, because the population of the Earth is limited. This is why everyone has to stockpile special medicines. The extensive use of Originium skills will lead to the aggravation of mineral disease symptoms and increase the risk of infection. To put it bluntly, my company's annual production will not even be enough for one month after the war begins. Without warriors, who will protect the children? Scholars? Merchants? Without soldiers, we will lose this struggle for survival, and no children will survive."

Sambuchi's face looked very ugly: "...I thought you would reject me, but I still felt lost."

"But, there is another way. If your association pays a high price, I can definitely get you a batch."

"What? Mr. Luo Chen! Don't you understand what I mean when I ask you for a discount? Where can we get the money? Cardia is already rich, why do you still want..."

"Mr. Sambuchi, what you want to buy is not medicine, but my blood..."

“…” Sambuchi was silent.

Yes, the special medicine uses Luo Chen’s blood as the most important raw material. Every infected person in this world who takes the medicine is eating Luo Chen’s blood to maintain life.

To be honest, isn't this person also in a huge cage?

The reason why he can run around like this is simply because he feels like the only one on earth. No one can take action against him, otherwise they will surely encounter a joint encirclement and suppression. It is for this reason that Luo Chen can move freely.

But this is a cage, and once it is broken, his fate will be worse than anyone else's.

As he said, the association paid a high price to buy his blood to make a batch of special medicine for children, so that it would be accepted in this tense situation and everyone would be better off.

The blood that can expel the foreign stone particles is priceless. Being able to buy it with money already shows Luo Chen's kindness. This person who lives in a huge cage all the time entered this cage by himself. He entered this cage for the infected people. What qualifications do you have to blame him?

His blood is drawn every month, and every month he has to provide weapons and military training to the entire earth, but no one has ever given anything in return.

This is what we call a confusing account!

What on earth is he trying to do?!

Sang Buqi nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Luo Chen, I was abrupt. I will find a way to solve the money issue, and I will also submit the drug application to the parliament."

"Yeah." Luo Chen held Sang Buqi's hand: "Mr. Sang Buqi, you may have misunderstood me. Let me first state that I like children. They have infinite possibilities. If I could do whatever I want, I would not ask you for money. I am greedy, but I know what to divide. Do you understand?"

"I understand. They all call you a butcher and the god of death. Perhaps no one has ever said that to you. You are a hero! Luo Chen, you are a hero."

When Luo Chen heard this, his eyes turned red.

Indeed, no one had ever told him that, no one.

In the Empire, he is a useful weapon, the Emperor's coin, is he a human being?
