Hunter starting from Hunter World
Chapter 280 Big Businessman Cardo (25)
The Kingdom of Waves is a small island country located east of the Kingdom of Fire, across the sea from the Kingdom of Water.
Triggered from the Tian Country where the Sound Ninja Village is located, you can reach this remote and poor place by crossing the Tang Country.
Although it is an island, the country of Kebo is not far from the mainland. It can even be said to be very close. It only needs to build a bridge to connect the two sides of the strait, allowing the economy and trade to develop rapidly.
But unfortunately, Cardo, the big businessman who controls the entire maritime transportation in the Country of Waves, has repeatedly sabotaged the bridge construction plan for his own interests.
As we all know, as an island country, once water transportation is controlled by outsiders, it is basically equivalent to controlling all the lifeblood of the country.
Relying on the huge profits brought by smuggling and selling contraband, Cardo not only hired a large number of ruffians and warriors to suppress those who resisted, but also hired some renegade ninjas to eliminate competitors and achieve his ulterior motives.
It can be said that the existence of this guy fully proves how evil and bloody capital is in the process of primitive accumulation and expansion.
Looking at the desolate scene around him and the numb expressions on people's faces, Xiang Ling couldn't help but ask in a low voice: This is the country of waves? It's obviously not affected by the war, but why is it so poor?
It's very simple! Their labor income was basically deprived by a greedy businessman. By monopolizing shipping, they monopolized the pricing power of goods. They sold daily necessities from outside at high prices, and then purchased local goods at low prices and resold them. . The huge profits that can be earned in one round are enough to make a person as rich as the country. Allen explained meaningfully.
Huh? Can a businessman do this? Xiang Liao's eyes widened in surprise.
Allen nodded slightly: Of course! If this Cardo has enough vision, he can even use the wealth he earned to recruit rebellious ninjas, establish his own ninja village, and then marry the daughter of the Daimyo of the Land of Waves. He came to the front desk in good faith and completed the transformation from businessman to careerist. Unfortunately, his vision was too short-sighted and he did not understand that money is important, but power is the most important thing in troubled times. Otherwise, he would not be able to earn any more money. Too much money is just a fattened pig.”
I understand! You want to kill this businessman named Kado and then seize his property to fund our future activities, right? A thoughtful expression appeared on Xiang Ling's face. .
So, but that's just one of the goals, and it's the least important one.
Allen glanced at the bridge that had not yet been built, and realized that he might have arrived too early, as Kakashi and his Team 7 had not yet arrived.
After all, the other party's mission is to escort an ordinary person, which will inevitably consume a lot of time on the journey. In addition, it will be intercepted by Zabuza, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to arrive safely.
Xiang Lu was undoubtedly aware of this, and asked in an uncertain tone: Then what should we do now? Find a place to stay first?
No! Let's go directly to Kado. Allen made the decision without thinking.
…
A few minutes later, dozens of hooligans and warriors armed with swords and sticks were crowded inside and outside the building of the shipping company's headquarters.
You don't need to ask to know that these people are all Cardo's men, trying to prevent two strangers of unknown origin from approaching their boss.
But on weekdays, they can only bully ordinary people. How could they be the opponents of ninjas? In less than half a minute, they were knocked to the ground by Xiang Ling's fists.
The lucky ones only had a few broken bones, or broken hands and feet. The unlucky ones were currently experiencing massive internal bleeding and then painful death.
You...what do you want to do? Cardo asked in a trembling voice.
He couldn't believe in his wildest dreams that he couldn't even handle two people with so many thugs he spent a lot of money on.
No!
wrong!
Not two!
But one!
From beginning to end, it was only the little girl with long red hair who took action.
The other boy, who looked younger, didn't even lift a finger.
I heard that you are recruiting ninjas? Allen looked up and down at this big businessman who was known as one of the best in the ninja world.
Yes...yes! Are you here to accept employment?
Realizing that the other party might not be here to kill him, Cardo immediately regained his composure.
Well! If you can offer us a price that satisfies us. A harmless smile appeared on Allen's face again.
However, in Kaduo's eyes, this smile was full of threats and intimidation. He gritted his teeth and stretched out two fingers: I will give each of you two hundred thousand taels per month to protect my safety.
Two hundred thousand taels? Yes!
Allen pretended to think for a few seconds and immediately agreed.
You must know that two hundred thousand taels is almost the upper limit of the reward for a B-level task. As a basic salary, it is not low.
What's more, he didn't come here for money, but for other purposes.
Hearing that the two young ninjas in front of him, who looked like children but were extremely powerful, agreed to accept his employment, Cardo immediately relaxed, sat down on the chair, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked through gritted teeth. : Since you are here to accept employment, why do you want to hurt my men?
Subordinates? You mean the trash outside? Believe me, even a genin who just graduated from the ninja school can easily deal with them. There is no point in raising more trash like this. On the contrary, you should thank us for helping you Clean up these wastes and avoid continuing to waste money on them. Allen's tone was filled with naked and undisguised contempt.
Well...what you said seems to make sense. Cardo touched his chin with a thoughtful expression.
After all, he saw with his own eyes how these guys who usually bullied civilians were helpless in front of the ninja and were beaten to death.
And almost all of these people are disabled. If they are fired directly, not only can they save this month's salary, but they can also save a lot of medical expenses. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.
The conscience of a capitalist is like a bone without any flesh and can only be fed to dogs.
After weighing the pros and cons, Cardo decisively threw all the injured, disabled, and dead outside and left them to fend for themselves.
Anyway, these people are not good people. It is estimated that what awaits them next will be the anger and revenge of the civilians of the Kingdom of Waves.
Allen and Xiang Ling also took the opportunity to become Cardo's bodyguards and began to follow him to get in touch with the daily operations of the entire company, especially the capital flow and real estate. In just a few days, everything was exposed.
Allen even used hypnosis and illusion to clearly understand the locations where the other party used to hide cash.
Poor Cardo doesn't know yet, but he has already become meat on the chopping board. When he will be put on the chopping board, it all depends on the mood of the two of them...
