Defection Starting From Cp9
Chapter 34 Bewitching
Saruman's face was slightly ugly. After being silent for a few seconds, he slowly explained: "Maratus XIV has recently been trying to please the nobles of the world in Mariejois, the Holy Land, and wants a female Celestial Dragons in order to obtain Celestial Dragons. Dragons’ identity.”
"So in order to show his sincerity, he temporarily gave me gold from the sky."
"This year, the Bolo Kingdom will hand over heavenly gold three times!"
After finishing speaking, Saruman closed his eyes and took a deep breath to relieve the restlessness in his heart.
"Three times of heavenly gold... you are really rich!"
Xi Luoke shook his head, and after "tsk tsk" twice, he couldn't help but said: "By the way, I remember that the Bolo Kingdom will hand over 10 billion beli twice a year to the heavenly gold. In other words, this year you will Handed over 30 billion beli?"
"That's right!"
Saruman gritted his teeth and looked a little ugly.
One time is 10 billion beli, three times is 30 billion beli - such an astonishingly huge amount is simply a figure that some small or poor countries cannot even imagine.
Dover 03 When Langmingo plotted to seize Dressrosa, he also extorted 10 billion beli from King Riku. As a result, King Liku couldn't get it out, so he had to borrow money from the people, so he fell into Doflamingo's trap.
If it weren't for Maratos XIV's good governance skills, vigorously developing the tourism and fisheries of the Poro Kingdom and making a lot of money, he would never have been able to spend so much money.
In the setting of the author who created this world, Bailey's value is approximately equal to yen.
However, 10 billion yen converted into Chinese dollars is just over 500 million.
But you must know that this world is full of islands, isolated from each other by the sea. An island is a city-state. What's more, it is still a city-state in the Age of Discovery, which is far inferior to modern cities. The per capita GDP of its citizens is not high, resulting in Bailey's purchasing power being much higher than that of the Japanese yen.
For example, a famous sword at the level of a good sword only costs one million Baileys and fifty thousand Chinese coins. But in modern times, if you want to buy a real famous sword for 50,000 Chinese dollars, don't even think about it.
Therefore, for most countries, whether it is 30 billion beli or 10 billion beli, it is not a small number. Even the total annual income of some poor countries is not that much.
What can't be done with 10 billion beli - you can buy advanced weapons and warships, you can pay bonuses to peace officers, you can build hospitals and other welfare facilities... But because Marathos XIV wants to please Celestial Dragons gave away 10 billion beli for nothing, no wonder it made underworld bosses like Saruman look down upon it.
"Hehehe~ Awesome!"
Xi Luoke's eyes flashed, his laughter was full of sarcasm, and he gave Saruman a thumbs up.
Saruman's face darkened, he pointed at Jose Street below, and said with a hint of provocation: "Lord Xi Luoke, don't you have any other ideas about the ten billion beli?"
"What's the meaning?"
Xi Luoke narrowed her eyes slightly and asked.
"Nothing else."
Saruman smiled slightly and said thoughtfully: "I just feel that it would be a waste to have these 10 billion beli fall into the hands of the Celestial Dragons. Even if they are snatched away by pirates, it would be much better than falling into the hands of the Celestial Dragons." Much more.”
"The weight of 10 billion beli's in cash is one ton and three hundred kilograms, and it requires sixty-seven large bank boxes to hold it. But this time, the gold in the sky is not all cash, there is also some money worth about two billion beli. The gold and jewelry are treasures of the Marathos royal family for generations."
"Why are you telling me this?"
Xi Luoke looked calm and stared at Saruman opposite.
"Isn't Sir Xi Luoke short of money? And you are alone. It seems you don't have your own pirate ship, right?"
Saruman spread his hands and said with unabashed bewilderment: "As long as we have this money, Lord Xi Luoke can easily buy the most advanced ship he wants, and even recruit a group of pirates to form a large ship." My own pirate group."
Xi Luoke smiled half-heartedly, played with the silver table knife in his hand, and said calmly: "By the way, if I really want money, why would I take the risk to rob the heavenly gold? Why not just rob you? Besides, I am alone. , how could it be possible to take away 10 billion beli in cash and gold and jewelry?”
"Master Xi Luoke is joking."
The pupils in Saruman's eyes shrank and he forced a smile: "You also know that the Parsona family does not belong to me alone. Even if you rob me, you can only get 3.5 billion beli at most. This little money compares to this The gold in the sky is very different."
"What's more, you left with the Babao Navy on Gaya Island, so I make a bold guess...will your Babao Navy be on the island as well?"
call out--
As soon as he finished speaking, Saruman saw Xi Luoke's face darken across from him. He raised his hand and waved, and there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air - the silver table knife in his hand instantly turned into a silver streak. , brushed past Saruman's ear, and plunged into the wall behind Saruman, with all the blades of the blade submerged in the wall.
Saruman looked frightened, and subconsciously reached out to touch his right ear, and felt a trace of warm liquid flowing down. He put down his hand and took a look, finding piercing Bloodline on his fingers, and then noticed a burning tingling sensation in his ears.
"By the way, you are also one of those nobles. You know how the power game is played. Don't you know that there are some things that should be said and some things that should not be said?" Xi Luoke's face was as dark as water, and strong murderous aura emerged from him, filling him. It touched the entire room, causing the temperature in the air to drop several degrees.
"If you know some things, you should keep them in mind, and then pretend you don't know anything. If you have to expose them, it will not be good for all of us.
"Gulu————"
Saruman's face was tense, his throat was shaking up and down as he swallowed saliva, and managed to stay calm, and explained: "I don't have any ill intentions, please don't misunderstand me, Lord Xi Luoke!"
"Whether you have any malicious intentions or not, I know very well."
Xi Luoke smiled coldly and pointed at his brain.
He has the unique talent of Observation Haki, which can sense the good and evil in others' hearts. How could he not know whether Saruman has any ill intentions towards him?
To be honest, Saruman has ill intentions towards himself - but the ill will is not strong!
Bulu, Bulu, Bulu⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
Suddenly, a call came from Xi Luoke's arms.
Xi Luoke stared at Saruman with cold eyes, reached out and took out a thick-lipped telephone bug from his arms.

"Where are you?"
After the call was answered, Cai Siqi's voice immediately came out of the phone.
Xi Luoke held a silver fork in his hand, poked a piece of steak on the plate and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he replied: "I'm eating AAAAA grade Wagyu beef in a hotel. Do you have anything to do with it?"
Cai Siqi on the other end of the phone didn't care what Xi Luoke was eating, and said in a solemn tone: "I came to the tavern yesterday. I have something to discuss with you."
"now?"
Xi Luoke narrowed his eyes and asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, right now.
"I understand, I'll come over now.
Click~
The communication was hung up, and Xi Luoke also put the microphone back. .
