The True Path of Pirates
Chapter 478 Son·Disciple
While the residential area of the villa was filled with noise and chaos, the living room in another area was eerily quiet.
Like the living rooms of other nobles, the living room of Jonathan's family is large and luxurious.However, instead of being decorated with exotic beasts or treasures, the walls here are hung with a variety of weapons, filling the living room with a chilling atmosphere.
However, compared to those bright weapons, the two people sitting facing each other across the coffee table were the source of the suffocating tension.
The identity of one of them can be known at a glance. The weird mask and the spotless white suit are undoubtedly CP0 people, and their level is not low!
Although the man sitting opposite looked very young, probably only in his thirties, the aura of a superior in a high position made him appear extremely stable, and he was very calm even when facing CP0.He is the head of the Jonathan family and the father of little Benjamin—Jonathan Fran!
Neither of them spoke, just sitting there like stone statues. The hot tea in front of them was not moved at all, only the steam of the tea was rising slowly.
"Okay, time's up, Jonathan Furan, tell me your answer!"
Finally, Agent CP0's voice interrupted the silence of the room, which also made Fran's face fluctuate slightly, but it instantly returned to calm, with only the calmness of a sure victory.
He smiled and raised the delicate teacup in front of him, shaking his head slightly towards the detective.
"I'm sorry, distinguished Mr. Agent, but I cannot accept either condition."
"Okay, I will report the truth to..."
"but--"
Fran's words directly pulled Agent CP0 back, who was about to leave, and after he swallowed his tea slowly, his voice came out.
"Mr. Agent, it's impossible that you don't know our relationship with the 'higher-ups'. Many of the adults in Mariejoia are shareholders here."
"These I..."
"I understand that your job is just to convey the news, so please wait a moment and report my thoughts to all the shareholders."
Fran put down his tea cup, and his eyes seemed to flash when he looked at the other party, and this extremely difficult negotiation gradually became the method he was most familiar with.
"First of all, releasing the management rights of the Chamber of Commerce is a false proposition that does not exist. If I give up all management rights, who will be responsible for operations? Who can do a better job in arms than the Jonathan family?
And if what adults want is the assignment of product types and supply objects, it is even more unnecessary.Eighty percent of our annual shipments are given to the government, and the internal operations of the chamber of commerce are all under the government's eye. What other assignments are needed?
As for the structure of the world, the government and the navy... I am just a small businessman, and we have no ability to interfere in matters between big people. As for where the Jonathan Chamber of Commerce stands, maybe the adults know better than me. "
Speaking of this, Fran's smile became even wider, but it made the agent opposite him feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"As for the harm that dogs have 'unintentionally' caused to adults... I believe I will give them the most reasonable explanation."
"..."
After all the talk, the person in CP0 could not sit still. He didn't even want to say a word and just left the room without looking back.
Fran, on the other hand, raised his head and watched the other person go away. The formulaic smile was no longer on his face, only the undisguised cold look!
Just after the CP0 agent left, the door was closed by the guards.After a while, the door was suddenly knocked lightly several times, but it didn't sound like a knock on the door, but rather like a guard not to touch it.
But Fran breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at a floor lamp not far away with some humor and called softly.
"Mr. Rob, come over and take a rest."
Fran took out a brand new cup and filled it with tea again.But the floor lamp made a "bang" sound and turned into a man with green hair.
Rob didn't hesitate and walked directly to the opposite side of Fran. He naturally sat on the sofa where the original agent had been. Then he nodded to Fran and raised his glass to drink.
"I'm not very proficient in using this ability yet. It seems I need to practice more in the future."
"Haha, that's really hard work."
The two seemed to have known each other for a long time, and the atmosphere between them was completely opposite to that before.
But after taking a few sips of tea while exchanging cups, Rob couldn't help but sigh, and made a few mocking remarks like a joke.
"The countries on the Red Earth Continent are already supported by the government, but now they are all forced to manage. It seems that the government is really anxious."
"In fact, it may not be enforced, but it will send a message for various countries and chambers of commerce to express their attitudes. After all, judging from the current situation, it will be a matter of time for the navy and the government to separate..."
Fran was talking about the analysis of the form, but Rob shook his head and told Fran what he knew.
“The navy accounts for too large a proportion in the world’s government system, and even a behemoth like the government can hardly fill such a gap.
Similarly, the navy cannot do without the government for the time being, whether for external or internal reasons, and the necessary conditions for completing these are not yet met.
Therefore, although the navy's operations in recent years are grand, they have always centered on the theme of annihilating the 'pirates' and the 'revolutionary army'. Mr. Ryden still needs a lot. "
Fran felt very emotional when he heard the name of the person who was inextricably related to him but had never met him.But when he contacted Rob's identity, he couldn't help but ask the doubts that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Mr. Rob, the Revolutionary Army...is considered the White Dragon's force?"?
"No, it's not. It can only be regarded as a relatively harmonious situation where everyone gets what they need. The Revolutionary Army is completely obedient to Leader Long, and Mr. Redden can't get in... These are very complicated, and I don't quite understand Mr. Redden's thoughts. Let’s talk about the current problem.”
"okay."
The chat ended here, and the topic between the two finally led to the most important matter at the moment.And even a well-experienced businessman like Fran can't help but become nervous. After all, what they are going to talk about next will completely change his and even the fate of his family.
"Mr. Fran, I don't need to say more about the six routes in 'Paradise'."
"Well, of course, all the businessmen are staring there now."
"Needless to say, the World Government will undoubtedly occupy the biggest 'cake', while the Navy, the Seven-Shibukai, the Revolutionary Army, and other forces in the hands of Mr. Ryden will divide the interests below. What you and other chambers of commerce need to do is Seize the remaining 'minutia'."
"It's not that easy to catch those. There are too many people who want to grab food..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Tezzolo will do his best to help you. And I will also contact you directly and report the following plan to you through this meeting."
"Well, I completely believe you in this. It's just that... the dog's matter... can't we just arrange it that way? Just kidding, although I am still young, this is my only son..."
Speaking of little Benjamin, Fran became a little shy, and there was a little more worry in her eyebrows.
Rob also understood what he was thinking, so he didn't force him to do anything. Instead, he changed his approach and spoke to him with a smile.
"Mr. Fran, Xiao Ben, you are his only son and his only disciple. A father will never cheat his son."
