The welcome dinner in Hailan Castle lasted for more than an hour. Regarding tomorrow's gambling battle, Guan Xiyi, the head of Jinpeng Bank, and Zhang Tie, representatives of the wealthy families of the Evandala Islands, Connor and Willis, the patriarch of the Leonard family,
Brightman, the patriarch of the family, exchanged opinions openly and calmly, demonstrating the strong determination of Jinpeng Bank as the guarantor for the performance of this gambling contract. At least on the surface, Jinpeng Bank's attitude is indeed impartial.
Fairness and strictness, it is precisely this that made the representatives of the wealthy families in the Evandala Islands smile all over their faces when they left Sealand Castle at the end of the dinner, as if they had already won this gambling battle.
Tomorrow, both the Ice and Snow Wasteland and the Evandala Islands have accepted the invitation of the Fortune Wings Bank. Each side can send a hundred people to board the Fortune Wings Bank's spaceship and fly together to the sea area where the two fleets are fighting for a decisive battle to supervise and watch on the spot.
The battle situation between the two fleets.
Everything will be revealed tomorrow.
Zhang Tie seemed a little absent-minded. The shadow of Tang De always flashed in his mind.
During the dinner, Zhang Tie pulled over Mrs. Olina and whispered a few words in Mrs. Olina's ear. Mrs. Olina looked at Zhang Tie and then glanced at the person in the distance with someone on the Ewendala Islands.
Tang De, with two family representatives together, nodded slightly.
The central figures of the entire dinner were Guan Xiyi, the manager of Jinpeng Bank, and the beautiful female knight named Gongsun Liniang. There were dozens of other Jinpeng Bank entourages, except for a few managers like Xu Tao.
Apart from being a little eye-catching, the rest of the entourage was not eye-catching. So, more than ten minutes before the end of the dinner, Tang De received a glass of wine from a waiter in Hailan Castle. He saw the wine under the wine glass.
The small note then disappeared into the banquet hall without attracting anyone's attention.
After the entire dinner was over and everyone from the Evandala Islands and Jinpeng Bank had left Hailan Castle, Zhang Tie calmed down and returned to a secret study room on the second floor of Hailan Castle.
Standing in front of the secret room door, Zhang Tie stood firm for a few seconds. Then he took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked in.
As soon as Zhang Tie entered, he saw Tang De sitting in the wine cabinet in the study, pouring himself a drink. His face was slightly red, looking like he was enjoying himself. Mrs. Olina was in the wine cabinet.
This guy took out several bottles of stuff stored inside. Some of the bottles were actually empty.
This bastard!
Zhang Tie walked over, took a cup for himself, then unceremoniously snatched the bottle of wine from Tang De's hand, poured himself a full cup, and drank it all.
"Ah, don't waste your resources like this. This top-quality crystal tequila needs to be savored in your mouth for at least half a minute. It will taste good after you drink it..." That guy Tang De yelled, and then he took it out in one go.
Tie snatched the bottle from his hand. He took a sip from the bottle with his mouth in disgust, and drank some more. Then he put down the bottle, looked at Zhang Tie proudly, and raised his eyebrows, "
Hehe, no one will come to compete with me now!"
This bastard has not changed at all. He is a tough guy, and he always likes to use disgusting methods to seize good things.
Zhang Tie laughed, "How did you know it was me?"
"Do you think I'm the only one who knows the art of hearing?" When it came to business, Tang De's eyes finally had some brilliance, "We knew you were the first time you made a big splash in the ice and snow wasteland.
Identity!"
"Manager Xu Tao?" Zhang Tie reacted immediately.
Tang De nodded, "Originally, Manager Xu Tao didn't know that you were Zhang Tie. It was only when we sent your information back to Taixia that we discovered that you were Zhang Tie!"
"Ah, how is that possible?"
"The book "The Apocalypse" you gave me has made me a great contribution. Originally, I wanted to wait for you to come back to Taixia to find me in a few years and give you wealth and a future, so I returned to Taixia.
In the summer, your information was completely handed over to the organization, and you were asked to register with the organization first, and your information included your earprint code!"
Zhang Tie knows what an earprint code is. When using the art of ear recognition to observe and analyze an ear, the different characteristics and structures displayed by different parts and regions of the ear can actually be replaced by a certain number.
When those numbers are connected, they are a person's earprint code. In the eyes of knowledgeable people, as long as they see the earprint code, they can accurately draw and restore all the details of a person's ears. Everyone's earprint code is unique.
It is unique, and the possibility of duplication is dozens of times smaller than the chance of two different people having the same fingerprint.
Tang De sighed, "Although you used a disguise potion when you first came to the ice and snow wasteland, the disguise potion will not change the characteristics and structure of your ears.
There are racial differences in the structure of Chinese ear patterns in several key places, so when Manager Xu Tao saw you at the first sight, he knew that you, Peter Humpreis, might have another identity. Manager Xu Tao took Peter.
The earprint code of Humphreys was sent back, and the organization was asked to help confirm the analysis. What was the result? After inputting the earprint code of Peter Humpreis into the giant difference machine in our organization, that machine
It only took a few seconds for the machine to retrieve the information about you that I gave to the organization. It turns out that Peter Humphreys is the young man named Zhang Tie in Black Flame City..."
Hearing such an answer, Zhang Tie could only be speechless. He did not expect that when he first came to the ice and snow wasteland, his hidden identity had already been exposed. This is really not as good as God.
Well, this result actually once again confirmed something that this guy Tang De said to him before - no matter how clever a liar is, he can only deceive everyone at some time, and he can deceive everyone at all times.
Some people, but you can never fool everyone all the time.
Zhang Tie also sighed, took out another bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, opened it, just like that guy Tang De, and drank a few big sips from the bottle.
Tang De looked at Zhang Tie's face seriously, "Well, you should have used some kind of advanced cross-dressing potion that can make some subtle adjustments to the muscles and bones of the face. If you don't look carefully, to be honest, I
I might not even recognize you!"
Tang De's words restored Zhang Tie's confidence a little. Fortunately, no matter how powerful the organization behind Tang De was, it was impossible for that organization to know everything about his awakened phantom body divine vein. Others still
I don’t know, but at least this left me with a pair of underwear, so I didn’t strip myself naked all at once.
"The organization behind you is Jinpeng Bank?" Zhang Tie asked Tang De.
"It should be said that Jinpeng Bank is just a part of our organization!"
Even a behemoth like Jinpeng Bank was only part of the organization behind Tang De. Zhang Tie was really shocked. Zhang Tie's eyes widened, "What is the organization behind you?"
Seeing Zhang Tie's surprise, Tang De smiled obscenely. He seemed to like seeing Zhang Tie's surprised expression, "Have you heard of the seven major sects of Taixia?"
"Seven major sects?" Zhang Tie had never heard of this.
"Tianji Sect, Mosha Valley, Taiyi Xuanmen, Zhitian Pavilion, Jin Quan Dao, Qiong Tower, Penglai Wonderland, these are the seven major sects of Taixia. Jinpeng Bank and I both belong to Jin Quan Dao!" Speaking of Jin Quan
Tao, Tang De had a rare expression of pride on his face.
Jin Quandao? This kind of organization with a name full of domineering and wealthy people is the force behind Tang De? Look at other Tianji Mountains, Demon Kill Valley, Taiyi Xuanmen, Qiong Tower and Penglai Wonderland.
, it sounds arrogant at first glance. Putting this Jin Quan Dao here, it sounds like an upstart breaking into a salon of a group of artists...
"Is Jin Quan Dao strong?"
"Twenty percent of all the goods in Taixia pass through the business groups under the Jinquan Road, and the banks are circulating. Do you think the Jinquan Road is strong?"
20% of all the wealth in Taixia is circulated through the business groups and banks under Jinquan Road? Zhang Tie is really surprised. Even if 20% of the wealth is placed in countries like Jinyun Kingdom and the Norman Empire, it can be circulated for one person
The organization of 20% of the country's wealth is also terrifying, let alone the entire Taixia. Zhang Tie can't imagine how huge the power of Jin Quan Dao is. No wonder he dares to put the word "jin" and "quan" behind it.
It is named after Tao, and those who are extremely powerful are close to Tao. When the money and wealth they control reach a certain level, they can indeed be "close to Tao".
"Why did you come to me this time?"
"You should have guessed it!" Tang De smiled, reached into his arms, took out a pamphlet and placed it in front of Zhang Tie, "You can take a look now to understand what kind of organization Qian Dao is.
, what are your rights and obligations after joining?”
Zhang Tie silently took the booklet without any text on the cover, opened it, and read ten lines at a glance. The knight's strong memory and browsing ability came into play at this time. The small book with more than thirty pages
Zhang Tie read the entire booklet in less than two minutes.
After reading the booklet, Zhang Tie was only shocked. The power of Jin Quan Dao was so great that it completely exceeded Zhang Tie's imagination. The boss of the Qian Quan Dao organization, known as the Big Dragon Head, was actually
One of the Nine Qings of Taixia - Da Si Nong, who is in charge of the country's finance, taxation, money, grain, and commerce. The purpose of the Jin Quan Dao organization has only eight words - to increase the national wealth internally, and to influence the world externally. Vaguely,
Zhang Tie seemed to see the shadow of the Taixia royal family behind Jin Quandao...
The entire Jin Quan Dao has a clear hierarchy. Under the big dragon head is the dragon head. Under the dragon head is the mountain lord.
In addition, each of the remaining levels are divided into three levels: bronze, silver, and gold. The entire organization is divided into twenty-two levels, and its members are divided into bright and dark. The so-called bright means that members of the organization will be exposed to the outside world.
His identity as Jin Quan Dao, and the so-called secret means that the identity of the members of the organization is not made public, and only some people within the organization know it.
A strange thing about Jin Quan Dao is that even if you join this organization, it will not affect you from joining other organizations and sects. You only need to keep the secrets of Jin Quan Dao. Of course, if you can't keep it, they will
There will also be people to "help you" keep it safe.
"What was your identity in Black Flame City before?" Zhang Tie asked Tang De.
"Dark Silver Disciple!"
"What now?"
"Bright gold deacon!" Tang De said with a shy face. After all, he earned his position as a bright gold deacon by relying on the "Abrasive Arithmetic" that Zhang Tie gave him. If it weren't for the "Abrasive Arithmetic"
"Heart Calculation", he has been in Black Flame City for so many years. Even if he goes back, he will only be a bright gold or dark gold level disciple at most. How can he become a bright gold level deacon.
"What level will I be at after joining?"
"If you join, your rank will be the Dark Gold Shopkeeper, which is the same level as the Shopkeeper Guan Xiyi and enjoy the same rights. The Shopkeeper Guan is Liangjin. His identity is public, while yours is
Hidden!"
"How many of the people who came this time know my true identity?"
"Except me and the manager, no one else knows! Manager Xu Tao provided some clues, but there is no need for the headquarters to report the complete situation to him. He only knows that this visit is related to you, but not
Knows your other identity. Of course. If he meets people from the Zhang family of Huaiyuantang and those who are related to you, and if his memory is good enough, he may also find something related to you from those people.
However, no matter what he discovers, he will not tell anyone. Regarding your information, the organization has issued a clean code."
Tang De's answer was somewhat unexpected by Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie originally thought that Manager Xu Tao and Gongsun Liniang might know, but he didn't expect that even they didn't know.
"Can I not join?"
"Okay. It's all up to you!" Tang De said nonchalantly, while quickly snatching the small book from Zhang Tie's hand. Then he started to pick his nose with his hands, with a ruffian look on his face, "If you really join in,
, I will have to take the initiative to salute you when I see you in the future, and I will have to look at your face, which makes me feel uncomfortable. If it were not for official business this time, I would not want to come!"
"Hehehehe..." Zhang Tie laughed, "Okay, don't do this with me, I'll think about it again!"
"Okay, the official business is over, let's go to my personal business!" Tang De clapped his hands, with a pig brother look on his face, "Well, you have advanced to knight so quickly, I know you must have a secret, but
I don't covet your secrets, you just need to help me a little. I have returned to Taixia in the past few years and enjoyed some resources. Now I have advanced to level five. If I can advance to another level, it will be level six.
That...that physical strength will be very good...there are so many women around you, you know...Look, can you help me advance to level six?"
"Well, it's easy. You just need to try to be struck by lightning a few times. If you don't die, you may also be struck by lightning and develop some special abilities. You may even be promoted to a knight at once!" Zhang Tie said seriously!
.
Tang De looked at Zhang Tie suspiciously, "Really!"
"Of course, but before you try it, you'd better tell me first and I'll buy you some more insurance. You taught me that grasshoppers have meat on their legs. We can't waste this opportunity to make money."
no!"
Tang De gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Tie, "There are a bunch of beautiful girls with big breasts and big butts around you. You guys are having sex every day. Don't you know how to respect the old and love the young and let others enjoy it? I used to
I've been so kind to you for nothing!"
Zhang Tie also stared at him, "You old fool, you think the highlight of your body is my lantern. I can light it whenever I want. If you want to have good physical strength, I will give you a secret.
You run 50 kilometers a day, then do 10,000 push-ups, abstain from sex for three years, don’t think of any shortcuts, just train off your body fat first, and I’ll make sure you’re active in bed!”
The two people stared at each other, big eyes and small eyes.
"You bastard!"
The two people scolded each other at the same time, then stunned each other, and then laughed together...
Although they haven't seen each other for many years, the friendship between the two people has not changed.
…
After completing the mission, Tang De quietly returned to the Jinpeng Bank's flying boat parked outside Hailan Castle. Zhang Tie slowly thought about and digested the new things Tang De had brought to him today, and thought about Jin Quan Dao.
Now that even outsiders know about it, Zhang Tie feels that he should find a suitable time and opportunity to let the elders of Huaiyuantang know about his identity. If he hides it any longer, he will really feel alienated.
Divided.
Through this incident, Zhang Tie also understood the truth that there are always some things in this world that are beyond anyone's control, and no one can make everything in this world appear according to their own will.
Similarly, those wealthy families in the Avundara Islands who are counting on the outcome of tomorrow's fleet battle to be what they want will probably be disappointed.
