Chapter 402 Oh my god, why is the beautiful Indian so bad!
Seeing this, Russell raised his eyebrows slightly, then pulled out a stool and sat down: "What does Mr. Adderley mean?"
Edley's move made him feel a little helpless.
Hearing Russell's question, the middle-aged man in a dark blue suit shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone: "As you can see, this is a gift of apology."
As he said this, he pushed the Skinner who was sitting in a wheelchair next to him towards Russell.
However, before the wheelchair reached Russell, it was blocked by a ghost soldier.
Glancing at the still unconscious Skinner, Russell asked curiously, "Won't the Apaches be angry if you do this?"
Hearing this, Adley scratched his cheek and said, "They won't have any objections."
"And they don't dare to hate me, but I guess you, Mr. Luo, will have to bear all the consequences in the end."
Seeing this [White Crown] being so frank, Russell was speechless for a moment. His eyes twitched, and then he said, "I can choose not to."
However, having said that, the ghost soldier at the side had already pushed the Skinner out of the meeting room.
For a card maker like her who committed such heinous crimes, the Ming Dynasty would naturally punish her according to law.
Seeing this, Adley smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Luo is willing to talk to me?"
"Tell me what you want to talk about." Russell could roughly guess what Adley's purpose was, which was the same as Louis XXIV's. "Did Apache tell you everything?"
"I just wonder what his expression would be if he knew that his sister died because of this reason."
If Apache had not informed Edley about the [World-Devouring Disaster], the Skinner would definitely not have been sent to Ming as an apology by this top-level card maker from the Indo-American Federation.
However, Apache's intention in doing so was to make Adley more alert and nip the danger of Russell in the bud, but he didn't expect that it would cost his sister her life.
Edley seemed a little unimpressed by Russell's words. He waved his hand and said, "Let's get down to business, Mr. Luo."
"I want you to tell me everything you know."
Hearing this, Russell resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said expressionlessly, "Aren't you going to talk about the reward first, Mr. Adderley?"
"Haven't I already paid you?" Edley was a little surprised. "Isn't he the Skinner?"
"That's just an apology for letting me sit down and talk with you."
Russell pulled the corner of his mouth and said speechlessly.
As soon as these words came out, the conference room suddenly became quiet.
The two of them just stared at each other in silence.
After a while, Adley suddenly smiled and said with some regret: "I was thinking about whether I could save the reward."
"Well, it seems that I can't do that now."
At this point, he paused and did not continue on this topic. Instead, he changed the subject and talked about another matter: "Mr. Luo, are you interested in making a deal?"
Before Russell could ask what the deal was, Adley had already stated the content of the deal: "I will trick Apache out, and you help me kill him."
"In return, you can choose any material from the Federation. How about one piece of palace-level material or twenty pieces of master-level material?"
Hearing this, Russell was stunned at first, and then frowned.
He was a little confused about what Edley meant. He was willing to pay him to kill the Apache, and the price was not low.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, so Russell would naturally not agree to it easily.
After thinking for a while, he said calmly, "Isn't it easy for you to kill him? Do you need me to do it?"
"Your killing him is different from my killing him." In response to Russell's question, Adley just said this, but he was not prepared to explain in detail, "How about this deal? I'm offering a very generous price."
Russell was about to continue asking questions, but suddenly fell into deep thought.
He seemed to understand why Adley proposed such a deal. This also had to be combined with the current power structure of the Indo-American Federation given by Charlotte.
According to the information learned from Charlotte, the top-level card maker in front of him has been committed to integrating the two forces in the Indo-American Federation. Unfortunately, due to the existence of the Skinner's family, he has not succeeded.
Even if Adley used force to integrate the two forces together, there would probably be endless internal strife, and he obviously didn't want to see this situation.
After all, you are holding me back and I am holding you back. How can the two groups govern the country well if they are busy fighting among themselves?
This kind of thing has happened more than once in the Ming Dynasty. The most recent one was the internal strife between the imperial court and the association.
What can make these two forces put aside their past grudges and work together?
The answer is foreign enemies.
Russell is the foreign enemy chosen by Adley.
As long as he kills Apache, Adley can easily bring the two forces together, and his subordinates will no longer be able to go against his wishes.
Of course, Adley could also choose to directly kill all those who disobeyed him, just like Ye Zhou wiped out all the high-ranking officials of the court.
But you have to know that Ye Zhou and Edley were facing very different situations. The reason why Ye Zhou took action against the imperial court at that time was entirely because they actually took the initiative to descend into the palace-level secret realm. This is unacceptable no matter which country it is in.
And what about Adderley?
He is the current uncrowned king of the Indo-American Federation, and it is certainly impossible for him to kill people as he pleases.
In this case, it is necessary to find a common enemy outside.
After understanding this, Russell couldn't help but shook his head: "You are really cruel."
Edley was not surprised to see his little trick exposed. After all, this was not a sophisticated plan. He just repeated his question: "Do you want to do it? Trade."
Although the reward offered by Edley was very tempting, Russell was not ready to agree to it: "Forget it, Mr. Edley, what if you just want to trick me out and kill me?"
The risk was too great, which was why Russell refused.
However, as if he had expected his refusal, Adley did not seem anxious. He said slowly, "Mr. Luo, you are overthinking. If you are worried, the time and place can be decided by you."
Hearing this, Russell thought about it briefly, and then said, "Okay, but I have to get paid first."
"Sure." Edley agreed readily.
Seeing him so happy, Russell raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will take the benefits but not do the job?"
Who would have thought that after hearing this, the White Crown showed a meaningful smile on his face: "Believe me, you don't want to see that scene."
Of course Russell was not going to default on his debt, so he didn't take Adley's words to heart.
He let out a sigh and said casually, "Then consider the following information as a gift to you."
As he spoke, Russell told Adley what he had said to Louis XXIV.
After listening to his story, Adley had a thoughtful look on his face.
"It seems that Mr. Edley already has an idea." Seeing his expression, Russell couldn't help but make a tentative statement.
Adley withdrew his thoughts and did not respond to Russell. Instead, he chose to end the topic: "Hehe."
"Mr. Luo, please set a time and place." Russell did not continue to inquire after hearing this. After a little thought, he decided on the time and place: "Then let's do it a week later, on the edge of the South China Sea of Daming."
The reason why it was set at one week later is because by that time, the cooling off of the Soul King and Uchiha Madara will be over.
With the Spirit King by his side, Russell will be more confident.
Naruto and Sasuke, Fubuki, Flame Sword Reika and the Soul King, so many cards are enough for him to protect himself even against a hall-of-fame card maker.
Not to mention that if things really don't work out, he can still call Altria back.
Of course, there is another reason to add. After the test just now, Russell can be sure that Adley has seen the world consciousness, and it is most likely in Antarctica.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so hardworking and uncomplaining in suppressing the secret realm. Could he really be a good person?
Rather than believing that Adderley is a good man, it is better to believe that Russell is Qin Shi Huang.
Therefore, even if Adley wanted to take action, he would not be able to mobilize too much force unless he ignored Antarctica.
Russell thought that he did not have much conflict with him, and judging from his previous dealings with Edley, he was indeed a person who would not do anything without benefits. He was too lazy to do anything that had no benefit.
In addition to the above two reasons, there is another extremely important reason. Judging from the time that Russell and Apache spent together in Great Britain, the brown-skinned man is a mad dog who bullies the weak and fears the strong. As long as he has the chance, he will definitely pounce on Daming and bite him.
Even though his sister, the Flayer, committed a heinous crime against humanity.
Just as Russell was thinking, Adley handed him an electronic device that looked like a tablet. "This is the material owned by the Federation. Mr. Luo can choose whatever you want. Just contact me when you make a decision."
Hearing this, Russell took the tablet and flipped through it casually.
It has to be said that the Indo-American Federation has even more materials in its library than the Ming Dynasty because it lacks powerful countries to compete with in its surroundings.
Seeing that the young man had already checked the materials, Adley's eyes flickered slightly, and he left the last sentence:
"Then I won't bother Mr. Luo anymore. Goodbye."
After saying this, the Indo-American Federation’s top card maker disappeared from Russell’s perception.
……
Indo-American Federation.
Apache was smashing things at home with an extremely gloomy face, and around him were a group of younger generations who dared not even breathe.
"This is too much! This is too much!"
"What on earth does he want to do!"
Apache suddenly discovered this morning that his sister, who was recuperating at home, had suddenly disappeared.
Not long afterward, news came from the Conservatives that Lord Adderley had taken his sister away.
Apache was struck by lightning when he heard the news. He knew with his butt that it was definitely not a good thing.
Thinking of this, Apache started smashing again angrily.
Just as the younger generations were hesitating whether to speak to comfort the strongest card maker in the family, a voice suddenly sounded in the room.
"What's the matter? You're so angry."
Hearing the sound, Apache, who was smashing things, suddenly froze in place, and then cold sweat dripped down his cheeks onto the ground.
Just when he didn't know what to do, the owner of the voice had already taken the clean white plate from his hand and put it aside.
This action instantly brought Apache back to his senses. He turned around, not daring to raise his head, and stammered, "Lord Aiedli."
Even though he had been filled with rage before, it had now been extinguished.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Edley just wanted to let Russell see if it was just as he said, that the Apaches and others would not dare to resent him.
At this point Apache didn't dare ask where his sister had gone, and to be honest there was no need to ask.
After all, Adley, who is alone now, has already explained the answer.
An inexplicable sadness welled up in his heart, but was soon overwhelmed by fear.
"I understand your feelings, but there is nothing I can do. You have to sacrifice to gain." Edley raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes. "I will leave Sakaga to Daming. After all, there are some things I want to know."
Hearing this, Apache opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth.
Of course he knew why Daming hated his sister so much.
But even if his sister was 99% wrong, doesn't that mean Daming was only 1% wrong? !
Blame it on Russell!
Not daring to resent Adley, Apache could only vent all his hatred on Russell.
After all, it was Russell who caused the Skinner to lie in bed, maintaining his appearance of being neither human nor ghost.
At this moment, Adley seemed not to notice Apache's expression and continued to speak: "But don't worry, I have already used a trade to get Russell out."
"Wait a week, and you can go to the place I said and take revenge on him."
Hearing this, Apache immediately raised his head and looked at Edley in disbelief: "Really? Lord Edley."
Seeing him nod slightly, the flame of revenge suddenly ignited in Apache's eyes.
He wants Russell to pay with blood!
However, Apache subconsciously ignored the fact that it was Adley who brought the Skinner to the Ming Dynasty, and also subconsciously ignored the fact that it was the Skinner who helped Jinping summon the palace-level monster.
At the same time, he also found a reason in his mind for Edley not to take action personally, that is, his master did not want the Federation and Ming Dynasty to go to war because of a small master card maker.
As to whether this reason was reasonable or not, Apache was too lazy to think about it, nor did he dare to think about it.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Adley casually reported the location arranged by Russell, and then disappeared into the house.
After Adderley left, Apache began to compare his own fighting power with Russell's.
There is no doubt that if it were a one-on-one fight, he would definitely not be a match for that Ming man.
However, as far as he knew, the golden-haired king card of the Ming Dynasty man was left in Great Britain and was not with him.
“Maybe there’s a chance.”
Apache's idea was that only a few days had passed since the incident in Great Britain ended, and it was undoubtedly unrealistic for Russell to make new cards in such a short time.
And even if a new master card was really created, it would only be three cards including the fox and the purple-armored giant.
Therefore, as long as he could find help, Apache felt that he still had great hope of defeating Russell.
The advantage is his!
Thinking of this, the brown-skinned man's eyes flickered: "I can only go find him."
After making up his mind, Apache took action immediately.
