Chapter 403 People Must Have Value
On the way to Lucky 38 Casino, a small incident occurred.
Several gamblers who had lost all their fortunes were running stumblingly, as if they were running away from some scary person.
After a while, several professional slave catchers rushed out from behind them, roughly hooked the gamblers with grappling hooks, and killed them very quickly.
Then he deftly took out the cutting tools and refrigerator, and cut the corpses in front of Yi Beiwang and the postman, obtaining fresh meat and organs from them.
After the treatment, the bodies were sealed in bags and then other people in the team cleaned up the streets. It was obvious that they had done this many times and were so skilled that it was shocking.
Seeing Yi Beiwang looking over here, the slave-catching team raised their thumbs and scratched his neck. After the provocation, they left with the corpse.
Oh, just a show of force?
They dare to do this in the gambling district, they must have powerful backers.
Yi Bei could tell at a glance that these people were coming for him, otherwise how could he have happened to encounter such a thing.
He asked the postman, "Who are these guys?"
The postman replied, "There are three major families in the gambling district, namely the Chairman's Gang, the Mafia, and the White Gloves. All of them were supported by House."
"Among them, the Chairman's Gang is the people I brought here just now. Now they are all my people. As for the Mafia and the White Gloves, they openly help House stabilize the gambling district, but secretly collude with the Crimson Merchants Group."
"If I'm not mistaken, the bodies of those merchant group members were destroyed by the White Gloves."
Yi Beiwang was puzzled and said, "White Gloves...what do they want to do? Under the conditions in the wasteland, organ trading is probably not feasible."
"You think too much. They just like to eat people. Literally."
"Damn, cannibals become nobles these days?"
"There's a saying that goes, you are what you eat. They may think that if you want to be a leader, you can't rely on hardship, but on eating people. You better be careful. The white gloves people may be very greedy for the flesh of the Dragon people."
As they walked and talked, they unknowingly arrived at the Lucky 38 Casino. After entering the presidential suite inside, House's holographic projection appeared and asked, "How is the progress? Is Elijah dead?"
Yi Beiwang threw Elijah's body directly to the ground and asked House to inspect it personally.
After confirming that Elijah was really dead, House smiled and applauded Yi Beiwang, praising him: "Not bad, really good, I was right about you!"
"Tell me, what do you want? Just ask for anything you want. You deserve my reward."
Since House said so, there's no need for me to be polite.
Yi Beiwang said directly, "You will be responsible for all the resources and manpower for building the railway, and I want 50% of the shares, too."
"sure, no problem."
"The technology in the Madre Casino is shared between you and me, and all the remaining gold and chips belong to me."
"Okay, no problem, this is what you deserve, I have no objection."
"If I encounter something difficult to deal with, I hope to borrow your name to solve it."
"Sure, as long as you can handle the matter cleanly and don't cause me any loss, you can use it in any way you want."
"I also want power armor and Iron Guard robots, as well as some heavy firepower weapons. How much are you willing to give me?"
Hearing this, House did not answer immediately.
He looked at the situation at the Shanghaojia Casino, then looked at Yi Beiwang, and seemed to realize something. He smiled and said, "60 T51 power armors, 10 Iron Guard robots, plus 10 Type 63 107mm towed rocket launchers, and 1000 rounds of shells."
"Don't be too surprised. I have also been in contact with the people of the Shi Clan and obtained some design drawings of Dragon Nation weapons."
Yi Beiwang was not surprised by this. He was surprised that House was so generous that he felt a little embarrassed. However, he had one last request, which he suddenly thought of on the way here.
"If, I mean if, I want to eradicate one of the three major families, what price will I have to pay?"
Hearing this, House looked straight at Yi Beiwang and sized up this ambitious Dragon man again.
House knew about the conflict between Yi Beiwang and the Crimson Merchant Group, and guessed that he was planning to make some noise at the banquet, but House didn't care about that.
I thought Yi Beiwang would proceed quietly, but I didn't expect him to come and tell me directly and ask me what price he would have to pay.
Hehehe...interesting, very interesting.
House pretended to be angry and asked, "Do you know what you are talking about? What do you think you can give?"
Yi Beiwang replied calmly: "Value, no matter what kind of value it is, I will bring you enough value."
"I also promise you that I and the Yibei Merchant Group will always be your most loyal allies."
House asked again, "Is it worth it just for some people whose names you don't even know? You know, no one in Mohave will care about their death."
"I care."
Yi Beiwang only said these three words and stopped talking, waiting for House's response.
I thought House would say something unacceptable, but he just turned around, waved his hand and said, "Kill them. They are just a bunch of parasites with no surplus value. Just clean them up for me."
This really confused Yi Beiwang, so he asked, "Ah... don't you have any hesitation or concerns at all?"
House asked back, "Why should I hesitate and worry about a batch of consumables? If you want to do it, just do it. Don't drag it out. That will be very inefficient."
Damn, I thought the Crimson Merchants and the White Gloves were already perverted and cold, but I didn't expect House to be even worse. He didn't treat his subordinates as human beings at all, but only considered them commodities.
It seems that House probably knows about the White Gloves cannibalism, but he turns a blind eye to it because they can still bring enough value.
And now, White Glove must have done something wrong that made House unhappy, so he did himself a favor.
Not only can I eradicate these pests, I don't have to do it myself. Even if something unexpected happens, I can be blamed. What a good plan.
But it doesn't matter. As long as I can kill them and avenge the caravan members, it doesn't matter if I'm being used.
Just as Yi Beiwang was about to leave with the postman, House suddenly called him.
"Yibeiwang."
"Ok?"
"Only those who are valuable can survive and are qualified to survive, do you understand?"
"……clear."
"That's good, go ahead, don't let me down."
Yi Beiwang knew that if he could not provide enough value to House in the future, he would be the second white glove and be ruthlessly abandoned.
Even if I helped House a lot, he wouldn't appreciate it and would just erase it.
But the pirate ship had already come aboard and he could no longer jump off. He could only take things one step at a time.
Yi Beiwang bowed deeply to House, slowly left the presidential suite, and walked towards the Shanghaojia Casino with the postman.
House, on the other hand, stared at the Shanghaojia Casino and said to himself, "Another shining new star is born."
"But is it fleeting or indelible? Let me see where you can go..."
