old dream

Chapter 153 Red Desire
This person's name is Goldie, and this is her private residence.

Her attire is quite exaggerated, and it is impossible to see her on the street.The gorgeous black and red dress and pointed hat seem to be deliberately emphasizing her identity as a witch.The slender tobacco rod in her hand made her look like an exotic whore.

"When you openly say that you know magic, others will think you are just acting like a baby."

A mocking smile appeared on the woman's face:

"I prefer this kind of life to hiding my face in disgrace."

But hiding your identity is by no means so simple.

As an underground wizard, she can survive with such a frivolous and high-profile attitude, which shows that she must have other advantages.

Colin didn't notice traces of Lingsu in Goldie, maybe she was stronger than himself.Of course, Colin's perception is inherently slow, which may not explain anything.

"Nine thousand bottles, isn't it?" Goldie frowned, as if thinking in confusion:

"My head is not very good, nine thousand bottles, how many bathtubs can be filled?"

Why take the bathtub as the unit.

Although she was suspicious, it seemed that she was really troubled by this, which made it impossible to continue the conversation.So Colin had to answer her question:
"If it's a single-use bathtub, it's about... about nineteen cylinders."

"Well, well." She nodded:
"Now I have ten cylinders in my hand, and the rest, can I make up the rest in a month?"

"Do you have ten cylinders in stock?"

Still wondering why the tub was the unit, but Colin followed her words and also said the tub.

"right."

Then why is the northern organization still in a situation where the supply of goods is exhausted.

"If you don't control it a little bit, how can they offer a higher price?" As if seeing through what Colin was thinking, Goldie replied with a chuckle:

"I originally planned to run away in November. Since the other agents love to fight, let them fight more fiercely."

"So until yesterday, I would never have released them all in one go," she said.

But all of this has changed because of your appearance.

"It was actually Lenny who found me yesterday, another agent. Let me bring you a word."

"Of course, this sentence was also entrusted to him by Lenny's friend. As for who instigated that friend, I am completely unclear."

Goldie went around in circles in an orderly manner, but said without haste:
"This is a sentence without a source, but the person who sent the message knows that you will come here today. I guess you probably already know who he is. It's best, be serious."

As a person who predicted his actions, Colin's expression became slightly serious.

That's right, there is only one possibility... behind-the-scenes X.

"That person said that new keys will be sent to you soon, and you, every day, have people put 50.00% of the five profits into those safe deposit boxes, but in any case, the amount cannot be less than [-] Ao Here, all in cash or gold.

"If you can do this and keep it going for ten days..."

Goldie narrowed his eyes, and seemed a little reluctant to say the following:
"Then the whole old city will be yours."

After saying these words, Goldie immediately changed his tone and complained:

"Ah, if possible, I really don't want to convey this sentence to you. I could have offered a higher price."

The people behind the organization, tired of the infighting among themselves, have brought in another, more reliable agent to consolidate Old City's Bootlegger League into a more efficient machine.

As a person who benefits from internal strife, if Goldie chooses to hinder Colin and maintain the current situation, it will be more beneficial to her.

But Goldie should have also received another signal from the behind-the-scenes X: hand over the goods in hand to Colin.

And in the near future, if Colin controls the entire old city's bootleg liquor distribution system, then Goldie's practice of controlling the supply of goods will lose its meaning.

Because, she will not be able to find a buyer other than Ke Lin.

This is the reason why she handed over the ten cylinders of stock in her hand to Colin now.

The behind-the-scenes X will fully support him, which has long been expected, and Goldie just passed on more specific conditions.

The most pressing issue now is still the supply of goods.

Colin didn't know where Goldie got the wine. Although the amount wasn't enough to fully meet his needs, it was already quite impressive.

However, why is it one tank per day... Where did it come from?After all, it was such a quantity that was neither too much nor too little, so it was a bit embarrassing to say the least.

But this is the basis for the opposite side to gain a foothold in Stade, so Colin will not ask himself the origin of these wines.

"Actually, it may not be a bad thing for me if the competition among agents can end." Goldie puffed out the smoke lightly:

"It's just that you won't be able to make enough money to run away in November. Just prepare for the trickle," she said:
"Let's round up this amount, how about 1000 Ories per cylinder?"

1000 Ori per cylinder, even after blending at a ratio of 0.8:[-], the cost per bottle is still around [-] Ori.

And don't know the quality of these goods.

Although he shouted at a loss just now, Goldie still offered a price that was ready to eat people.After all, Ke Lin is really short of goods right now.Without alcohol, it is impossible for him to hand over 6000 Ori to the people behind the organization every day.

But if they had to hand in another 6000 Ori while getting the goods at this price, then Colin and his organization would also fall into a situation of no profit.

Colin looked at Goldie and found that she was serious.So I thought about it and said:
"Now two to three nautical miles away from the coastline of Stade, there are cargo ships from overseas floating, just like a steel city on the sea."

He talked about the current offshore situation that he had outlined through countless tracking marks.

"Most of them contain original wine imported from various countries. Some originally had orders but were unable to enter the port because of the ban; some were speculators who heard about the ban and pulled a boat full of wine. How much is there now? What about the wine? I think it will last the entire Stade for a year."

"Eh? What do you want to say?" Goldie pretended not to understand.

"The supply of goods will become less and less important." Colin said, "So gradually, your status will no longer be guaranteed."

Be one of the mediocre competitors, in danger of being abandoned at any moment.

"Don't you think the Coast Guard doesn't exist?" Goldie retorted, tilting his head:

"There is a speedboat passing by every two hours, but it takes time to unload the cargo on board. Even if you can buy wine on those boats, how are you going to get them ashore?"

Unless you buy through customs and mix those wines into legal goods.

"There will always be a way. Just like you, didn't you find a way to let the wine in?"

"This is me..." Goldie swallowed halfway through her words.

If she is retorting, does it mean that she didn't get these wines from outside?

"The amount you have in hand can't satisfy the market at all, but we still spread out the underground bars as much as possible. Why do you think this is?"

Because the problem of supply of goods will be resolved sooner or later, regardless of smuggling or private brewing.

Colin, who was wearing a mask, stood up and walked slowly to Goldie's side.It seems that the lieutenant's will still remains on this burn mask, and when playing the lieutenant, Colin will be affected unconsciously.Infected with rage, and behind that rage, a scarlet desire.

Or, this is the other side of him that has been suppressed for a long time.

"Very soon every bootlegger will be able to buy alcohol, the alcohol will not be the problem at all, the problem will always be the transport and the clandestine sales, because they can only rely on an impenetrable network of organizations." Colin said.

Goldie was still sitting in her place, so when Colin came to her side, her face was near Colin's lower ribs.

Then Colin slowly stretched out his hand, placed it on her beautiful face and patted it.It's like kneading your own pet.

Why do you do this yourself?
Getting carried away with your recent success?Because of the cover of the lieutenant's mask?Or is it because Goldie's body is full of hints, so the more she blooms in the same bright red, the more I have the urge to humiliate her?
"And this organization is completely in my hands." The lieutenant said in a low voice:
"If you're smart enough to understand, soon you'll have nothing but me to rely on."

The other party also seemed startled by Heinrich's aggressive behavior. She sat for a long time without responding and remained motionless.

The previous frivolity and calmness disappeared, and the slender neck seemed to be trembling slightly.

I don't know if she is concerned about the distribution network in her own hands, or X, who is behind her.

What kind of wizard is Goldie?I don't know, maybe stronger than myself.But now she let other people's hands play with her cheeks.

In response to this, a strange feeling slowly surged in Colin's heart.

This game is already following another rule that has nothing to do with individual strength, so the strong will be ravaged by the weak.

"In the future, I will purchase from you first, and I will give you this power."

"You are not irreplaceable, I have other sources of goods, of course, believe it or not." Colin said:

"A cylinder costs 400 Ori. I will send someone to pick it up tomorrow."

Goldie never avoided Colin's hand, she lowered her head, her cheeks were hot perhaps because she suffered such humiliation for the first time.

"Ah."

An answer almost oozing from between his teeth.

"That's right." Goldie gritted his teeth and raised his head, tears seemed to swirl in his eyes:
"I forgot one condition, and that friend also asked me to convey it - you must destroy a Prohibition Commissioner who has just arrived in Stade, whose name is 'Linus'."

The heat on her face was still astonishing, she seemed to have evaporated her tears into mist in her eyes, but she conveyed an extremely vicious message with the shape of her lips:

"Otherwise, the one who gets destroyed is you."
