Esther lived in a four-story building near the castle.
This should have been newly repaired or renovated in the last twenty years, unlike the heavy and serious houses around it, it is warm in color, unrestrained in style, luxurious and magnificent.
"It's still a little bit short, not perfect enough." Shang Jianyao commented "tsk tsk".
Gnava, who was sitting next to him, asked very honestly:
"What's the difference?"
Shang Jianyao pressed the car window, stretched out his arm, pointed to the building and said:
"Isn't it in the old world entertainment materials? Such a building must be paired with a beautiful garden, preferably full of roses."
The building had neither a garden nor a lawn, but a cement square in front of it to stop and increase the distance between pedestrians on the street and bombs dropped inside the houses.
"The weather here is also not very suitable for gardens and lawns." Gnava explained seriously.
Shang Jianyao raised his hand:
"Go to the greenhouse garden and hardy lawn, if you have money, you have to prove yourself!"
Gnava was unable to refute for a moment.
At this time, Sandro parked the car, came to the jeep of the "Old Tune Team", and said to Shang Jianyao and others:
"Are you going to follow me in now?"
"No need to apply in advance?" Jiang Baimian asked in surprise.
Even if Sandro is now a good brother of Shang Jianyao, as Esther's security supervisor, there is no reason to violate professional ethics and bring people into the house without the employer's permission.
He can help introduce and persuade Esther that he is already worthy of the status of "good brother".
Seeing that the "Old Tune Group" was very dutiful, Sandro smiled slightly, nodded and said:
"I will take you to the reception room on the first floor, and then go ask the boss."
This is within his authority and responsibility, and it is not excessive.
He then added:
"But robots cannot follow, nor can they carry military exoskeleton devices and bionic intelligent armor, and try not to bring more conspicuous items such as assault rifles and submachine guns."
Then you probably don't know, Hello Brother is much more dangerous than a robot...... Jiang Baimian muttered in his heart.
The next second, she saw Shang Jianyao open his mouth.
She suspected that this guy wanted to ask, "Can you carry a nuclear bomb?", so she responded to Sandro first:
"No problem."
She immediately pushed the door and got out of the car, and said to Gnawa, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong:
"Lao Ge, white, red, you stay here and look at the supplies in the trunk."
She used the Red River language, but it did not affect the address of Bai Chen and Long Yuehong.
Their Red River names are White and Red.
Seeing that Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao even took off the grenades and other things on their armed belts, Sandro nodded in satisfaction at first, and then kindly reminded:
"You can actually bring a pistol for self-defense.
"Of course, you can trust me completely, you don't need to worry about anything."
"I'm going to take this." Shang Jianyao pointed to the only remaining black flashlight on his armed belt.
"What does this do?" Sandro asked with a slight sense of confusion.
Shang Jianyao picked up the flashlight and introduced with a smile:
"It looks like a flashlight, but it's actually ......"
Just when Long Yuehong thought that this guy was going to talk nonsense, "it's actually a laser emitter", Shang Jianyao turned on the flashlight and let the yellowish column of light shine to one side:
"It's actually a flashlight."
This almost flashed Long Yuehong's mind.
"But it is very strong and relatively heavy, and can be used as an iron hammer." Shang Jianyao waved the flashlight a few times, looking like he was holding a hammer or a nail hammer.
Jiang Baimian resisted the urge to cover his face and said to Sandro:
"We definitely trust you, you don't need to bring any weapons."
What she didn't say was that the strongest and most powerful weapon between herself and Shang Jianyao was herself.
She has the ability to be an Awakened person and has an electric eel-type creature prosthetic limb, while Shang Jianyao is an Awakened person who has explored the depths of the "Spiritual Corridor".
Sandro said with a slight relief:
"Then let's go in."
With him leading the way, the heavily armed guards along the way did not stop them at all, and allowed them to enter the four-story building.
The furniture and furnishings here match the style of the house very well, mainly luxurious and bright.
Jiang Baimian looked around casually and was led by Sandro to a reception room with a fireplace.
"Rely on coal burning for heating in winter?" Shang Jianyao was quite interested in this matter.
Coal burning is strictly prohibited in the living area of the underground building of "Pangu Biotechnology", and ordinary residents cannot exchange coal.
"No, it's decoration." Sandro shook his head, "Near Gerstburg, the production of anthracite coal is relatively small."
He didn't introduce what he relied on for heating here, after all, he didn't sell houses.
He pointed to the ceiling and said:
"Wait a moment, I'll go up and report to the boss."
"No problem." Jiang Baimian responded with a smile.
Sandro left the reception room and went up the stairs.
When I arrived at the third floor, the surveillance in the shadows increased.
As Esther's security supervisor, he couldn't be more familiar with this and turned a blind eye to the stairs to the fourth floor.
After passing through the two guard points and asking which room the boss was in, Sandro came to a dark red heavy wooden door, curled his fingers, and knocked three times.
"Come in." The voice inside showed a faint tiredness, slightly old.
Sandro twisted the handle and walked into the room.
It was a fairly spacious sun-drying room with a lounge chair by the window and a stack of books, a small cake, and a cup of tea on the coffee table next to it.
The sky in Gerstburg is often gray, and the sunlight has to be filtered layer by layer to shine on the ground, and everyone is very eager for the sun.
At this time, a half-hundred-year-old man sat on the recliner.
His golden hair had faded a lot, the straight bridge of his nose had a few spots, and the blue eyes were surrounded by crow's feet that could not be hidden, and the skin on his cheeks, which did not have much flesh, became obviously loose.
This is not an ice field, the weather today is not bad, the temperature is not low at all, this fifty-year-old man with a calm temperament is only wearing a light blue shirt on his upper body, with a dark red sweater, and gray trousers on his lower body.
He closed the books in his hand, took off his reading glasses, and looked at Sandro and said:
"You brought a guest?
"Has the goods been delivered to the warehouse?"
"It was delivered, and there were no accidents on the way. I suspect that the attacker was frightened by a team of relic hunters we hired and chose to give up." Sandro reported on business first.
The latter sentence is half his guess, and half is his fabrication to rationalize his behavior of introducing the "old tune group".
He is just a good brother of Shang Jianyao, not a fool, of course he has to find a way to perfunctory the boss and not let him feel that he is fake for personal gain and generous.
Esther nodded:
"That team of relic hunters is the guest you brought?"
"Yes." Sandro remembered his good brother's advice and did not go into detail about how strong the firepower of the guests was.
Esther was silent for a while, as if thinking about something else.
Just when Sandro was a little uneasy, Esther looked at him again and said in a low voice:
"Sandro, you don't behave like you used to be.
"I'm not saying that you did something wrong, but in the past you didn't make your own decisions, just bring guests here, you will arrange them, and then report to me, and then bring them when I confirm the meeting and the time to meet."
The more Sandro listened, the more frightened he became, and when he got to the back, cold sweat even appeared on his forehead.
He suddenly woke up and blurted out:
"I am affected by the Awakened ability!"
Esther nodded slightly:
"Sure enough.
"You tell the situation as it was at that time, don't leave anything out."
After saying that, Esther closed her eyes and leaned back against the back of her chair.
He put on a gesture of patient listening and serious thinking.
Sandro reminisced and talked about his experience, focusing on his interaction with Shang Jianyao.
After he finished speaking, Esther took a while before there was any movement.
The director of the Mining Federation opened his eyes and considered it:
"Let's bring them up.
"I want to see what they plan to do."
"In this way, your safety is not guaranteed." Sandro entered the role of security supervisor.
Esther was silent for two seconds, then smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I won't do anything unsure."
Sandro could only obey orders.
He went down to the first floor and led Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao to the top floor.
On the way, Shang Jianyao tried to talk to him, but he was cold.
So Jiang Baimian knew that he should have lost a brother.
After entering the sun-drying house and seeing Esther, before Shang Jianyao could speak, Esther said to him:
"Don't talk."
Esther then looked at Jiang Baimian:
"Come on."
Similar scenes seemed familiar, Jiang Baimian was used to it, and said bluntly:
"Mr. Esther, we want to find out something from you."
Esther laughed dumbly:
"Why do you think I will answer your questions?
"Can you offer me a reward that I can't refuse?"
"How do you know if you don't give it a try?" Jiang Baimian had already been mentally prepared and responded to the words, "How about this, Mr. Esther, listen to what we want to ask first, and then offer a price that you think is suitable."
Shang saw Yao babbling and wanted to put forward his own conditions, but no one agreed to his words.
Esther was silent for a while and said:
"What do you want to ask?"
"Have you ever seen this person?" Jiang Baimian reached out and took out the pre-prepared photo from Shang Jianyao's pocket.
Sandro took it and sent it to Esther.
Esther glanced at it and said:
"This question was asked to me not long ago.
"I do know him."
"What we want to know is what they asked and what kind of answers they got." Jiang Baimian finished speaking in one breath, "Okay, you can make a price."
She used her words without a trace, deliberately not mentioning the possibility of rejecting this possibility, and directly focused on what kind of price she was offering.
Esther was silent again, silent to the point that Jiang Baimian suspected that Shang Jianyao was about to be unable to bear it, and planned to attack violently to let the other party know what it means to toast and not eat and punish wine.
Finally, Esther smiled and spoke:
"I don't lack money, but I have some regrets that I need someone to help me solve."
