Chapter 382: Old Friend
But before Max left, Fang Linyan remembered another thing and stopped him,
“How many dollars do you have?”
Max said,
“Hundreds of thousands? Why? You need money?”
Fang Linyan said,
“Yes, I have to do something now that requires a lot of cash.”
Max threw the hundreds of thousands of dollars to him. Anyway, he couldn’t bring back the Space, then he withdrew another hundreds of thousands of cash to Fang Linyan from the ATM in front, making up half a million.
Not only that, because the maximum denomination of the euro is 500, which was more convenient to carry, so Max still had almost 1 million euros in cash, which he also threw to Fang Linyan.
This kind of currency that couldn’t be brought out of the world was not precious to contractors, especially for those who had a team. There were many ways to make money with different specializations.
Even Fang Linyan heard from Goat that someone in his previous team was very powerful in the real world. He even established a think tank for this.
After learning about the general situation of the next world, he would convene a think tank to make a hypothetical proposition.
For example, I have a certain extraordinary ability. When I come to Europe in the 19th century, the starting capital is almost negligible. How can I get the most money as quickly as possible.
The think tank will tailor various plans for him. These plans are varied and have everything that one expects to find.
After getting the money, Fang Linyan thought for a while. He first contacted Delto and transmitted to him some information he had obtained from within SPX Corporation, then he said that he was following up on a very important matter and needed the help of the company.
At this time, after confirming the reliability of the information, Delto immediately used a large amount of resources at hand to provide him with intelligence support.
Fang Linyan took advantage of it and asked for an in-depth investigation of Area 51.
At the same time, he let the elite mechanical warrant officer drive directly to a small town called Lantero that was 700 kilometers away, then he searched for the address and rang the bell of a villa with white walls and sky blue fence.
It was around 10am. Fang Linyan rang the doorbell for a long time before a big man with a beard came to open the door. His shirt was wrinkled and his face was full of beards. It seemed that he hadn’t cleaned himself up for a long time.
There was a strong smell of alcohol from him, and his eyes were full of bloodshot. When he came to open the door, there was the crisp sound of a wine bottle falling down.
After opening the door, the big man said,
“Hey, I don’t need anything because I still owe the bank $35,000 and only have 2 cents in my wallet, so can you go now?”
Fang Linyan said politely,
“I’m afraid not, Mr. Davis, because I’m not here to sell things. I’m sure I can change your current poor economic conditions, so can you give me 5 minutes? And I don’t want to talk at the door.”
The big man looked at Fang Linyan suspiciously and said,
“Okay, come in.”
After he entered the door, he brought Fang Linyan into the living room, which was in a mess. There was almost no place to place his foot. Davis simply lifted the sofa next to him and shook off the debris on it, then he put it in front of Fang Linyan,
“Please sit down. Unfortunately, there is no coffee or tea. Oh, and there are 2 bottles of beer in the refrigerator. Do you want it?”
Fang Linyan shook his head, took out a stack of dollars from the box next to him and put it on the table,
“No, then we’ll get down to business now.”
“Entrusted by a gentleman, I would like to chat with you a few questions now. In order to show that I am serious about doing this, after you answer these questions, no matter what answer you give, these 5,000 dollars are all yours.”
Davis glanced at the stack of dollars and said,
“Okay, but if there are questions I don’t want to answer, I will keep silent.”
Fang Linyan shrugged and said,
“Silence is also an answer, so I’m going to start asking.”
Davis stretched out his hand and made a “please” gesture.
Fang Linyan said,
“Mr. Davis, before I came here, I read your resume on the KOT job search website. You are a double Ph.D. student from Michigan State University and the University of Georgia, and you have a lot of experience in getting along with wild animals.”
“Not only that, but you have published sixty-nine papers with high impact factors in multiple journals such as Nature and Zoology.”
“So why did you leave the LM National Forest?”
Davis took a deep breath, took a few sips of the beer next to him, and said with an angry look in his eyes,
“That’s because those guys actually betrayed my child Mike! Although it is naughty and mutated, it is still very kind and will never harm any human beings.”
“But, that damn moth, Bruce, the deputy director of LM National Forest Park, sold it for money. He put a lot of narcotics in Mike’s food. What’s even more worse was that I personally sent these foods to Mike!”
“God, I didn’t know that bastard did this, and I can’t forget the pain in Mike’s eyes when he ate those foods and found something wrong! This scene is too cruel for me! Even my heart is going to break!!”
Having said this, Davis’s voice choked up and buried his face into his hands. After a while, he raised his head and drank half a bottle of beer again, and he said with red eyes,
“After arguing with Bruce many times, I was forced to resign by the superiors.”
“Then I had severe insomnia, headaches, and hair loss. The doctor diagnosed me with depression. My life became a mess. Later, I went to interviews for several companies, but I was not qualified for the job… so I became what it is now.”
Fang Linyan said,
“It was not your fault, Mr. Davis. The money is yours.”
As he spoke, he pushed 5,000 dollars to him.
Davis took a deep breath and said,
“Thank you, I really need this money right now.”
Fang Linyan watched him put away the money, and he suddenly said,contemporary romance
“Can I ask a hypothetical question?”
Davis said in astonishment,
“What is it?”
Fang Linyan said,
“If, I mean if, Mike came back to you, what would you do to him?”
Davis shook his head and said tragically,
“That’s impossible. The reason they captured Mike was because it has a perfect and stable mutated gene sample, which is a very precious prototype.”
Fang Linyan made a gesture and said,
“I’m just making a hypothesis.”
Davis thought for a while, shook his head helplessly and said,
“I can’t do anything about it. When Mike left me, it was 3 meters tall and weighed more than 600kg. It eats an amazing amount of food every day, costing thousands of dollars in food.”
“Not only that, such a behemoth can’t be hidden at all. It will be captured by that damn biochemical company again in 3 days.”
Fang Linyan said,
“Then I continue to make a hypothesis, if Mike’s child is only the size of an ordinary chimpanzee, and you are given $100,000, how will you keep it safe?”
After hearing Fang Linyan’s hypothesis, Davis immediately said,
“Oh, if that’s the case, then it’s too simple. New Guinea and the Amazon jungle are great places to go. Miami’s Everglades National Forest Park is also a good place, and they just happen to be recruiting skilled people.”
“Thank you very much for talking to me about this. Now I am in a much better mood. The time spent with you is the most relaxing moment for me in the past 6 months.”
Fang Linyan said,
“Understood, Mr. Davis, I am very pleased that you still have deep feelings for Mr. Mike. My client will be very happy when he learns about this.”
“However, he has his own difficulty, so he cannot get out of the car and come in here. Therefore, I have a presumptuous request. I hope you can go to the RV at the door to meet him.”
“I promise, there will be a big surprise waiting for you.”
Davis pondered for a moment and said,
“Okay.”
Under normal circumstances, Davis would not go to a stranger’s RV so casually, but Fang Linyan took out 5,000 dollars to prove that he was not a liar, and he seemed to be a nice guy, so he nodded.
At this time, Fang Linyan felt a little melancholy, but it was inevitable to separate from Mike.
Because Mike was too powerful, once it was involved in the mission, the difficulty of the mission would inevitably shrink wildly. The Space would inevitably judge him to violate the rules.
Just like Max before, the serial mission was interrupted directly.
Fang Linyan also had self-knowledge, that was, he was still very weak and did not have the qualifications to subdue Mike…
But one day! He could get there by himself!
While thinking, Fang Linyan and Davis walked to the door, opened the car door and let the big zoologist in.
Fang Linyan was a considerate person, he felt that he, an outsider, should not interrupt this kind of reunion after a long separation, so he waited at the door for a few seconds on purpose.
Unexpectedly, after Davis entered, he shouted excitedly and angrily,
“Oh God!! Look at this poor Guinea baboon, my God, did it get hit by a steamroller? What the hell happened to this poor kid?”
Fang Linyan was confused after hearing this. He immediately rushed in, only to find that the poor old female baboon had collapsed with dying breath. Davis was checking and giving first aid to it.
But Mike, who was supposed to be here, had disappeared. Only the window on the side was still open.
Obviously, this guy was bored waiting here. It had probably visited Davis’s house before, so it just opened the window and went out for a walk.
TL: Why wouldn’t it go to Davis directly if it was here before?
