Free Web NovelChapter 1035: Chapter 405: The Benefits for the Federation Clan
"So what should we do next, Minister?"
Everyone turned their eyes towards Zhang Beixing, waiting for his next instructions.
After all, it was the first time encountering such a situation, and they didn’t know how to handle it.
Upon hearing Leng Bing’s words, Zhang Beixing rolled his eyes at him with disapproval.
"Are you wealthy, kid?"
"N-no...not at all..."
Even though he didn’t understand why Zhang Beixing was asking that, Leng Bing still shook his head honestly.
Then, Zhang Beixing flicked Leng Bing’s head directly, leaving Leng Bing covering his head with an aggrieved expression.
"Minister, why did you hit me? I really don’t have any money left."
Thinking about his previous savings, which had been deducted by Zhang Beixing to repair the wall due to a dart throwing incident, Leng Bing felt a wave of grievance wash over him.
The team members around looked at Leng Bing as if they were witnessing a rare species, it was the first time seeing him look like this — completely different from his usual stern demeanor.
"Since you know you don’t have money, hurry up and tidy things up here. Not to mention those scattered potions, even those blown-up devices, even corpses have some value."
At that moment, Zhang Beixing looked heartbroken, clutching his chest and lamenting in anguish.
"You lack the virtues of thriftiness like Xu Feng! When Xu Feng handled missions before, even a passing turtle shell would be saved."
Being reprimanded like this, Leng Bing scratched his head sheepishly, feeling a bit embarrassed.
After all, The Ninth Bureau was currently the wealthiest among the bureaus, it was the first time seeing Minister Zhang Beixing behave so stingily.
"Alright, Minister, I realize my mistake now. I will go tidy up these things."
Leng Bing, feeling aggrieved, began organizing stuff in the cave that could still be used or sold, but halfway through, he suddenly stopped.
"Why aren’t you working hard, buddy? Don’t tell me you got tired in such a short time."
Seeing Leng Bing stop, Zhang Beixing sounded like a feudal landlord, looking displeased at Leng Bing.
"You are a Great Grandmaster after all; you can’t be tired doing just this little work, can you?"
"That’s impossible!"
Leng Bing shook his head vigorously like a rattle drum, fearing if he slowed down, Zhang Beixing would give him a good beating.
"I just feel even if I finish organizing these things, there’s no way we can transport them out."
Saying this, Leng Bing shivered as if recalling something terrifying.
Leng Bing cautiously glanced at Zhang Beixing.
"Minister, you’re not expecting me to move the stuff out directly, are you?"
"Do you have that kind of power?"
Zhang Beixing looked at Leng Bing skeptically, his eyes filled with mistrust.
"I’m just asking you to organize everything; there will be trucks coming over soon."
As Zhang Beixing finished speaking, before Leng Bing could figure out where the trucks would come from, the sound of truck engines roared into everyone’s ears.
Soon, many men in black suits walked in from outside. Seeing these unfamiliar faces, the members of the second team showed wary expressions.
"Minister Zhang, we’re here."
Just as they were about to act, a young man wearing glasses with gold rims pushed through the people in black suits, emerging from the crowd.
"Richard, you’re here right on time. You can take away the stuff inside as a benefit for your clan."
The newcomer was Richard, appearing here upon Zhang Beixing’s command.
"What use do these things have?"
Though aware of Zhang Beixing’s strength, Richard was still puzzled.
This place clearly looked bombed; how could those shattered machines be beneficial to him?
"These machines research gene modification, far more advanced than what’s on the market."
Even though Zhang Beixing didn’t understand mechanics, he could determine these machines were invented by that scientist from the werewolf incident earlier.
Originally, Zhang Beixing planned to transport these machines back to the country, but on reconsideration, decided to let the Federation Clan perfect them before taking them.
Since many things are hard to acquire domestically and might need transportation from this country, it’s better to wait until they’re assembled. Then, take the original version away.
The Federation Clan might have complaints about such an approach, but Zhang Beixing knew their patriarch would make the right choice.
Sure enough, upon hearing Zhang Beixing’s words, Richard’s eyes lit up, but he immediately seemed to realize something and said seriously to Zhang Beixing.
"Thank you very much for your kind offer, Minister Zhang. We’ll take the machine debris back for repair..."
Switching his tone at this point, Richard continued.
"However, our Federation Clan isn’t interested in bio-genetics and knows these things might bring misfortune. So, we will just assist you in repairing them; gaining your favor in the future will suffice for us."
Leng Bing and others nearby heard Richard’s words and nodded with a smile — no doubt this kid knew how to handle things.
Zhang Beixing snapped his fingers at Richard — this guy surely did not disappoint him.
"Since you went this far, I won’t let you help for free. I heard there’s some oil exploration work in the Arabian region lined up for us. You guys from the Federation Clan can join in; someone will discuss the specific arrangements with you."
