Chapter 1394: The Second Step

America, French Colonial Zone.

Ausilige held a bottle of fine wine and found Wanshang and Fang Dalong.

A smile immediately appeared on that round face; Ausilige looked at Wanshang and Fang Dalong and said, "Brothers, I really have to thank you two this time."

"You didn't see the look on my father's face; he praised me so much that I felt embarrassed. After all, someone as excellent as me is rare to begin with."

Hearing this boasting, Wanshang and Fang Dalong remained calm, and even felt a little like laughing.

"Then did your father give you any reward?"

Fang Dalong asked casually, and Ausilige's expression changed drastically; his small eyes were filled with astonishment.

He had forgotten to ask.

His old man had also forgotten to give it.

Immediately after, he wore an expression as if his father had died.

Fang Dalong looked at Ausilige's expression and was stunned for a moment; hadn't he been fine when he arrived?

How did he become like this just because of one sentence?

Ausilige said with a mournful face, "It's ruined, I forgot to ask my father for it."

"..." Fang Dalong, Wanshang.

"Go ask for it now."

Ausilige shook his head; based on his understanding of his father, if he went to ask for a reward again, his father would definitely not agree to give it to him.

He had finally performed a great service, and he hadn't expected it to just vanish like this.

Ausilige couldn't help but wipe away tears.

Wanshang and Fang Dalong looked at each other and shook their heads, unable to laugh or cry; they hadn't expected this situation to occur.

"My reward, beauties, money..." Ausilige wailed loudly.

At this moment, Fang Dalong suddenly said, "Brother, there's no need for that. We still have business to do with you; that was just a stepping stone."

Upon hearing this, Ausilige immediately stopped crying, widened his small eyes to look at Fang Dalong, and a smile crept onto his face.

"Brother, are you saying you can still help me..."

Wanshang and Fang Dalong nodded.

Joy appeared on Ausilige's face; with Wanshang and Fang Dalong's protection, he believed he would definitely continue to show his face before his old man.

"Brother Ausilige, we have already shown our sincerity; we hope you will not break your word."

Hearing this, Ausilige's expression froze, and then he revealed a smile.

He cursed inwardly, *Damn it, how did these two Longyan know I was planning to go back on my word? *

He clearly hadn't said anything, so why did these two act like they knew everything?

Fang Dalong's gaze seemed to be able to see through everything, at Ausilige's sheepish face.

"Hehe, don't worry Brother Fang, am I the kind of person who would do such a thing?"

"I will prepare the paperwork immediately and hand this shop over to you," Ausilige said with a sheepish smile.

Then he quickly had his subordinates prepare the materials.

Ausilige looked at the transfer agreement, his fat face twitching; he really didn't want to sign this agreement, as the business was currently extremely booming.

Even though this Small Tavern was so remote, the business was exceptionally booming.

Thinking that he was about to lose a massive amount of money flowing into his pockets, Ausilige felt a pang of pain.

Thinking again that he had received a priceless piece of news but hadn't gained any benefit, and had even lost so much money, his heart hurt even more.

Fang Dalong saw Ausilige's hesitation and said indifferently, "Brother, there is plenty of time in the future."

Hearing this sentence, Ausilige looked at Fang Dalong and Wanshang; that's right, there is plenty of time in the future...

"Brother, you are right, I'll sign, I'll sign."

Ausilige signed the agreement, Fang Dalong took a few looks and put it away, and Ausilige also put his copy away.

Wanshang put one hand

on Ausilige's shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, brother, the few of us will definitely make money."

Fang Dalong smiled and said nothing.

Having easily obtained this agreement, this place would be their stronghold in the French Colonial Zone from now on.

Wanshang said again at this time, "Although we two have done business in France before, the current situation is not favorable for us to show our faces, so we will have to trouble you, brother, to help look after the shop."

"Don't worry, we will give you a sum of money every month as compensation for you, brother," Wanshang said indifferently.

Hearing this, Ausilige showed joy; he had been worried about this matter before, and he hadn't expected that Wanshang would tell him so quickly to look after the shop and give him a sum of money every month.

"Then thank you, brother."

The three of them drank all night to celebrate this event.

The next day, Ausilige was still drunk and unconscious.

Wanshang and Fang Dalong, however, were already sitting in the room, discussing.

"This place can be used as our intelligence station in France. Although it is remote, there are more Indians here, and we can also quietly absorb them to become our people," Wanshang observed the situation here and stated his opinion.

Fang Dalong nodded, but at the same time, he began to think about one thing: they were establishing their own intelligence station according to Qingyang's instructions.

But there was one more thing they needed to pay attention to: the Longyan Cannon.

"Looking at Ausilige's reaction, the Longyan Cannon must have been successfully intercepted by the French. Perhaps before long, Richard will come looking for us, and that will be our opportunity."

Their main purpose in coming here was to get close to Richard and constantly incite a great war between the French and the British.

Using the hatred between the two great colonial zones to buy time for the development of their Longyan.

"Hmm, let's just do it that way. Then, how should we arrange the prisoners and slaves here?"

Fang Dalong thought for a moment; they had also inquired clearly about these prisoners over the past few days—what they had actually done—and in fact, they hadn't done anything.

It is just that bastard Ausilige who wanted to create this arena, so he grabbed people from here at random.

After hearing that at the time, Wanshang's anger flared up.

Fortunately, Fang Dalong was there to restrain him.

"Those prisoners cannot be released openly, as it would be disadvantageous for us; let's replace all the workers here with them."

"If they know how to be grateful, keep them; if they don't, then let them go."

Wanshang nodded, indicating his agreement with this plan.

"We are currently short on people, so it would be good if we could win them over; however, I am a bit interested in that girl who looks like a Longyan," Wanshang said.

Fang Dalong suddenly remembered that girl, with her dirty appearance and the look of a Longyan; he had gone to deliver food and drink to her, but the girl was like a mute, not saying a single word to them.

"That girl..." Fang Dalong sighed.

"She must be a merchant who drifted over from our Longyan side; she probably encountered some mishap after arriving here, which is why she ended up destitute here in France."
