Marvel's Great Old Ones

Chapter 10: Negotiation

"Ah! I'm going to die, why are I so poor!" Li Xiu had been crying and howling all morning. He calculated that after deducting the project money, he only had more than 50,000 US dollars left.

Although the money is easy to come by, it is even easier to spend.

However, the quality of the project can still be guaranteed as there is still time. After all, Daniel found the kind of construction team that is somewhat famous in the industry.

What cost money in the entire project was the statues and decorations required by Li Xiu. Decoration aside, as long as you pay attention to the design and color, you can order directly from Amazon.

Even if the hollow statue was specially customized by the construction team, it cost more than six thousand US dollars.

That guy is at it again!

Daniel upstairs looked tired, thinking that his cool life as a "specialty" of Hell's Kitchen had completely ended after meeting this unreliable man.

He is now responsible for cooking and cleaning every day, and he has no salary! Simply a living slave.

Li Xiu didn't mention paying him a salary, and he didn't dare to ask.

Now at home, the one with the highest position is Cthulhu, then Li Xiu, and finally Daniel, who is in a dominated position.

The decoration took three days. The last stock in the refrigerator was eaten by Cthulhu last night, and Daniel needed to replenish it.

But now there is a fatal problem, he has no money, and now Li Xiu is downstairs crying and counting money.

You might be beaten to death if you steal things from the supermarket, and you might be beaten to death if you ask Li Xiu for money.

To want to or not to... that is the question.

In the end, Daniel got the money from Li Xiu, but Li Xiu asked to go with him.

Then you might as well grab it!

"What's wrong? There's something on my face?" Li Xiu turned around and saw Daniel looking at him strangely. He touched his face and said, "There's nothing there. What are you looking at?"

"I see Cthulhu, I'm afraid it will fall from your head!" Daniel turned his head guiltily and changed the subject: "There seem to be more people on the street these days, do you often see people running past? "

"Who knows? It seems that because of the remoteness of the church, no one will go there." Li Xiu opened the tentacles extended by Cthulhu in front of his eyes with an indifferent expression.

"They seem to be looking for someone. I heard there is quite a lot of movement."

Find someone!

Li Xiu perked up after hearing this and thought of the money he had robbed.

They must be here to find me! Li Xiu glanced around guiltily and found that there were often strong men with a lot of tattoos passing by. They might really be those gangsters.

Along the way, when Daniel was shopping, he noticed that Li Xiu suddenly became much quieter. It was not until he returned to the church that he looked relieved.

Thinking of the gangsters looking for people on the street and the hundreds of thousands Li Xiu suddenly showed up with, Daniel looked at Li Xiu from side to side with a suspicious look on his face.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at!" After glaring at Daniel, Li Xiu led Cthulhu upstairs with a guilty conscience.

Sure enough, it's you!

Daniel had the answer in his mind.

Now I just hope those guys won't find this place too soon! I'm tired. Is this a human life every day? He thought so in his mind.

But life often does not go as one wishes, and accidents occurred in the handling of those urns.

There are still five urns in the church that need to be contacted for burial, and the only owner of one of the urns is a younger brother named Allison. Allison happens to be a small boss in charge of the neighborhood under Viper.

He was still taking orders at the bar when he received a call from Daniel.

"Fake, why can't it be stored? Isn't it a fucking church over there? Why can't I store my brother's ashes! Do you know how much I donated!"

After hearing that the ashes of his brother who died of a drug overdose were being placed, Allison cursed.

Daniel tried hard, but Allison still refused to start the burial ceremony now, nor did he agree to transfer his brother's ashes to another church.

In the end, Daniel asked Allison to come to talk. Anyway, Li Xiu was present, which just allowed him to calm down.

As for the other four urns, there were no major problems, but those guys asked him to pay compensation, a total of thirty-five thousand US dollars.

In the end, Li Xiu, who had always wanted to clean up the church, agreed to compensate.

I agree, but I feel really sad.

……

At the same time, at Daniel's original rental house, Heizi had collected information about the situation in Brooklyn these days.

Li Mo listened to Heizi's report and noticed that he said that there had been a large-scale mobilization of the Brooklyn Police Department in the past few days, and some people said that they heard intensive gunshots at the dock warehouse.

Li Mo suddenly made a guess about the sudden appearance of Li Xiu who purchased the Brooklyn church, the sudden pressure from Viper, and the Russians who entered Brooklyn in large numbers.

But he had a doubt in his heart, what was it that warranted those people being so eager, making such a big move, and continuing even at the cost of offending the local gangsters in Brooklyn?

It seems that Li Xiu is really not simple. What can I get from it?

Li Mo thought for a moment, then called Heizi and said, "Bring Mr. Li Xiu's identity documents, and we will visit him later."

At night, Allison drove to the outside of the church. He stepped forward and knocked hard on the door, shouting loudly: "Open the door! I know you are inside. Open the door quickly. You have the guts to do it but don't have the guts to see people!"

Snap, the side door of the church opened a crack.

"What are you doing? You're going to die!" With a pair of dead fish open, Li Xiu was wearing a black suit on his upper body and a pair of colorful beach pants on his lower body. He was dragging simple flip-flops and leaned out from behind the door with Cthulhu on his head. A body.

A yellow man wearing strange clothes, Allison thought to himself. I don’t know him, he might be Qiaofu’s new temporary worker.

"Who are you? Where's Geoff?"

"Qiao Fu? Who is Qiao Fu?" Li Xiu looked confused. He really didn't remember Qiao Fu. He said viciously: "Who are you? You are calling for death here in the middle of the night!" "

People who disappeared from his life were like dust on the roadside to him. How could he remember the name of a dust particle?

"Didn't you ask me to discuss how to deal with my brother's ashes?" Allison suddenly thought of this, and his courage suddenly grew again.

"Are you that guy named Allison?" Li Xiu squinted his eyes and looked up and down Allison for a while, then said: "I have bought the Brooklyn Church, and now I am in charge of it. From now on, this will be the church of the Church of the Fool. "

"Jove...well, it should be Jove. He has moved away. Now it is because I have to clean up the church. Those ashes need to be buried in the cemetery behind the church in time. The church will no longer accept the ashes of "devout believers" in the future. .”

"How the hell could you do this!" Allison opened his eyes wide and said, "I spent thousands of dollars to send my brother to the church, and there was still more than a month before the originally agreed burial time. !”

"How will I arrange the funeral if you do this? How the hell will you handle it? If my brother can't be buried with dignity, I will make it difficult for you!"

"Calm down, okay?" Li Xiu said with a look of disgust, avoiding the spittle stars that flew in response to Allison's excited words: "I can give you some compensation, but I just need you to agree to bury your brother's ashes in advance or Move to other churches.”

"There will be compensation!" After hearing that there would be compensation as long as you agree to be buried early or transfer the ashes, Anlison, who was slightly excited, paused and asked quickly: "How much is the compensation?"

"Eight thousand dollars."

"what!"

When he heard that the compensation was only 8,000 U.S. dollars, Allison ignored the weirdness of the yellow man in front of him and cursed: "You Bichi, the compensation is only 8,000 U.S. dollars, and you are sending a beggar away! I want at least 30,000 U.S. dollars, otherwise I won't I hope I will agree."

"Thirty thousand!" Li Xiu suddenly became energetic, as if he was drowsy and had been burned by a cigarette butt, and suddenly became energetic, "Everyone else only asked for more than 30,000 yuan in compensation, but you alone dare to call 30,000 yuan." Ten thousand!"

"Why, that's not allowed. I have a good relationship with my brother!" Allison puffed out his chest.

"Impossible, thirty thousand is absolutely impossible. If you want thirty thousand, you might as well kill me directly." Li Xiu shook his head repeatedly and said, "Or I will kill you directly and send you and him together..." "

Daniel, who had been listening to Li Xiu's conversation, rushed out and covered Li Xiu's mouth, pushing him behind with an unhappy look on his face.

"Boss Allison, ignore him, come, let's talk." Daniel said with a smile: "Look, since my boss just bought this place, it's not like you don't know what Joe's request is, it's hundreds of thousands more. "

"Buying this church cannot be converted into a rental house. Our boss also bought this place to establish the Church of the Fool. Unfortunately, he really doesn't have much money left to renovate and compensate other people."

Allison, who was furious and wanted to get the gun with one hand, glanced at Daniel sideways and said, "I don't care whether you have it or not. I only want my 30,000 yuan compensation to be paid, otherwise you can't even think of me agreeing to it."

"Oops! Didn't I say I have no money?" Daniel rubbed his hands like flies and looked at Allison with a troubled face and said, "Otherwise, we will compensate you an extra two thousand US dollars. If we make up the whole, ten thousand US dollars." How about a beautiful knife?”

Allison first looked at the two of them up and down, then raised his head to examine the decoration of the church, and said unwillingly: "No, I donated thousands of dollars alone. I don't agree if there is no thirty thousand US dollars."

"Hey! You..." Li Xiu was about to rush forward, but Daniel held him back.

Just as the two of them were arguing, Li Mo's voice suddenly came from behind: "I'll take out the thirty thousand dollars."

Li Mo's tall figure stepped out of a stopped car. He held a brown document bag in his hand and said, "No matter what the reason is, I've covered Mr. Locke's thirty thousand US dollars."

The three people who were arguing were confused by its strong money aura.

Li Xiu suddenly hummed the melody of Shanghai Beach theme song and dubbed Li Mo's voice.

"Andrew! Why are you here?" Daniel turned around with a look of astonishment on his face.

"I'm here to deliver something to Mr. Locke." Li Mo waved his hand and said, "What, look at this scene, do you need my help?"

"Need not……"

Before Daniel could finish speaking, Li Xiu suddenly rushed out and hugged Li Mo's thigh.

"Boss, rich guy, help me! I'm going to die of poverty."

"Uh, this..." Li Mo was a little embarrassed and speechless.

"You are, Andrew! That Andrew from Jishitang in Chinatown." Allison suddenly recognized Li Mo's identity.

"You are……?"

Li Mo looked Allison up and down and said with some uncertainty: "I seem to have seen you somewhere. Are you from Viper?"

Allison looked at Li Mo with some surprise and asked, "Do you know them?" How could the tiger in Jishi Hall know these two guys.

"They are my friends, why are you here, what is going on now?"

"Ah!" Daniel stepped forward and hugged Li Mo, briefly explaining a few words to him.

"That's it, Heizi, take 30,000 yuan from the car." Li Mo greeted Heizi, turned around and handed the money to Allison, and said to Li Xiu who let go of his thigh: "I will use this little money as my Let me borrow it from you, and I won’t pay it back until you have the money.”

Originally, Li Xiu would be polite, but he unexpectedly said with a shy face, "Can you not pay it back?"

"Uh..." Li Mo was speechless and choked, speechless and speechless.

Allison collected the money and followed Daniel to the backyard to take out his brother's ashes. He didn't dare to stay longer and drove away in his car.

Now the people above and the people in Jishitang are at odds with each other. It would be better for him not to appear in front of this Jishitang tiger too often, lest he doesn't know how he died.

By the way, why do people from Jishitang appear here? Does Jishitang have any plans? And why did Joev sell that mess to that strange yellow man without knowing it.

They are both of yellow race. Is there any connection between them?

Thinking of the news that his superiors had sent out not long ago, Allison felt it was necessary to report it to his superiors. Maybe he could achieve some success.

Thinking of this, Allison didn't bother taking the ashes home first and drove directly to the Viper boss's property in Brooklyn.

The bright red taillights of the car cut through the dark night and gradually faded away...

Returning to the entrance of the Church of Fools, Daniel took Li Mo and the two of them to the small living room on the second floor of the tower.

As soon as he sat down, Li Mo showed a solemn expression.

He said: "Mr. Li Xiu, did you do anything at the Pericles Wharf warehouse on the Hudson River a few days ago?"

Li Xiu, who was holding Cthulhu nonchalantly, stiffened and looked up at Li Mo...
