Chapter 6 Confidential Matters
"Don't know."
"Don't know?"
"Mm, Rhodes Island didn't give us detailed information."
"Then we should refuse."
Li Lin thought for a moment, then said directly:
"Chernobog is very dangerous now, and this is taking things from someone else's territory, very likely to conflict with official forces."
"Although I'm not politically sensitive, I also know what a huge criminal act it is to commit crimes within other sovereign nations at this time. We are living quite well now, no need to wade into such muddy waters for some money, it's unnecessary."
"And previously, we abandoned the sales route there due to Chernobog's political problems, why pick it up again now?"
"…So this is what's puzzling."
Texas placed a dark red brand and a rather familiar symbol and signature in front of Li Lin.
"Chernobog's mayor's signature, Reunion Movement's signature, Rhodes Island's property ownership declaration. For some reason, they chose not to make it public, but these are all legally meaningful clauses already recorded in the archives. We just need to go over, then take possession of that black coffin, and deliver it to Rhodes Island. This way, we can obtain a reward worth about four million Lungmen LMD. But precisely because of this, I find it strange and wanted to discuss it with you."
"All procedures are complete, but they don't want to make it public, so they're looking for a third-party intermediary to intervene? But our qualifications don't seem to be enough, right? Our Penguin Logistics, frankly speaking, is just a logistics company; how could we possibly accept a commission of this level?"
"I, however, feel the problem might not lie with Penguin Logistics…"
Looking at the bewildered Li Lin, Texas sighed subtly in her heart.
Penguin Logistics indeed lacked this status and capability. But Li Lin, as a hero of Kazimierz, a powerhouse who single-handedly annihilated one-third of the nation's high-end combat power, and a good person jointly certified by various medical facilities, an absolute neutral party, who independently formed a faction, was definitely qualified enough.
Moreover, the official documents sent from Ursus clearly stated: requesting Mr. Li Lin, Chairman of Eden Company, employee of Penguin Logistics, and Kazimierz Honorary , to act as a witness. The latter two aside, the former also represented huge commercial value and interests. To put it bluntly, just from the scale, Rhodes Island might not even compare to Eden.
After all, the former was just a mobile Oripathy hospital, valued by various high-level officials, belonging to a subtle zone. Who didn't have an Oripathy patient in their family? If plotting an attack, Originium was almost perfect. And Rhodes Island also had to exist, as a neutral zone for political struggles. But Eden was different. If Raythean Industries and Umbrella Bio were the first and second beneficiaries of the current infinite war, then the third place undoubtedly belonged to Eden, which was making a fortune quietly . God knows how much data this company collected on the battlefield, how many blueprints and related tools they obtained. Those destroyed things were all cleanly devoured by Eden's three major processing facilities.
But you couldn't not use them; if you didn't, within three months, there would be no need to fight, as both sides would basically have no supplies. Eden guaranteed their power and resources to continue the war, even accelerating the speed of urban migration and expansion worldwide several times over.
Towards the owner of such a company hidden behind the world, your Rhodes Island and Reunion Movement might really not be enough.
Pure White Eden, Garden of Life Eden—these were praises, but also fears.
When accepting, everyone knew they couldn't resist such a thing. And every region using Eden's creations was either a nation or a city-state, at the very least a leading company in a certain area. Even few of Lungmen's local enterprises were qualified to use Eden's services.
And Li Lin, roped in with Eden, but in the capacity of Penguin Logistics, basically indicated the other side needed a very heavyweight person to witness this nominally a seizure, but actually a transaction. This person would inevitably not touch the interests of the other three parties, nor affect their actions. So from a certain perspective, Penguin Logistics' Li Lin really was the only candidate for this trade.
After all, so far, boldly writing 'Eden Company registered legal person' online, but still holed up in logistics instead of going to the chairman's office, he was the only one.
Plus, Li Lin didn't have much awareness of confidentiality; although his past whereabouts were very mysterious, the events of the recent six months were all at the top of various countries' intelligence files. When Eden Company was registered, Li Lin was still unconscious, but it indeed proved all equity was in Li Lin's hands. And in terms of personal strength, as a hero of Kazimierz, probably not many people in this world could fall out with him.
A witness with strong capabilities, good personality, and also very responsible; there was nothing better than this.
For political purposes, this transaction couldn't be directly publicized, so they could only find another witness to secretly seal the deal. And this candidate, obviously, no one in the world was more suitable than Li Lin.
"Because Eden's Garden of Life is currently in operation, Chernobog's transfer speed will be accelerated to one week, so we still have over a week to consider this activity."
Looking at Li Lin, whose expression changed slightly but said nothing, Texas sighed softly and said directly:
"Chernobog and the Reunion Movement both used network signals to prove their identities; the Lungmen Guard Bureau has also verified their authenticity. Rhodes Island's representatives are currently at the main company. Personally, I don't think there will be any major problems with this operation; all related procedures are very complete, the reasons are also very sufficient. For detailed matters, you probably need to ask Rhodes Island's representatives."
As Texas spoke, a subtle expression appeared on her face.
"However, you can just go down and inquire by yourself. I won't go for now."
"Huh? Why?"
"There's someone in there I slightly dislike… I know she might not have any ill intentions, but dislike is dislike. Nothing can be done about it."
"Alright then, I'll go over by myself."
This, more or less, is proof of a mature employee, right?
Under Texas's gaze, which for some reason seemed somewhat guilty and subtle, Li Lin returned to the dormitory, changed his clothes, then drove to Penguin Logistics' new office location to meet these mysterious clients.
