A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

"Best greetings, Your Excellency."

Li Wei nodded slightly, and the old man stretched out his hand to motion for Li Wei to sit down.

"Very polite, you are different from those Seris people in Chinatown." Mr. Robbins asked, "Have you ever been to school?"

"University." Levi nodded and smiled.

Robbins nodded, with a hint of approval in his tone: "Yes, people who rely solely on their fists cannot see further things. They must also have knowledge and insight."

He then waved, and Ricardo walked aside and poured a glass of Centado whiskey for each of them.

Levi picked up the cup wisely and touched it lightly with him.

"But..." Mr. Robbins looked at Charlie who was standing behind Levi, "Isn't it too informal to bring a child to such an occasion?"

"He is not a child, he is here to discuss business." Levi shook his head and said formally.

This made Leon and Ricardo couldn't help laughing. Even Mr. Robbins smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot. Mr. Robbins looked at Charlie who was at a loss and asked.

"Is he fifteen? In Ionia, you have to be at least that age to be considered a man."

"No, that's a pity for me," said Levi, "but he no longer has a father, so he has to do the work of making money for himself."

The laughter stopped, and Geller Robbins's eyes became serious. He looked at Charlie up and down. The latter was so breathless that he could only smile stiffly, greet Mr. Robbins, and then Lower your head.

"Not bad." Geller smiled again and raised his glass, "Here's a toast to you."

Levi raised his glass as well, and the chat was over.

Geller lit a cigar, smoke rose, and a contract was handed over.

"I think we can agree to most of the things you want to buy."

That means there's still nothing left to be done... Levi nodded and didn't look at the contract, but looked up and asked.

"Is there something wrong?"

"You have to know, Li, arms are not within the scope of our business, and the part sold to you is only for our self-defense. And what you want is beyond the scope of buying a few self-defense weapons." Geller clicked Got some cigars.

Levi thought for a moment and said, "I can increase the price by 30% based on the market price."

"It's very sincere. But we agreed that this business is not for profit, but just out of mutual goodwill towards friends." Geller shook his head.

These words made Li Wei frown slightly.

The previous drug trafficking deal with the Toltec family failed because of their destruction. My 160,000 yuan was equivalent to taking it for nothing...

This amount of money is not a small amount for the Robbins family. I thought he wanted to make some of it back, but it turns out...

What does he want?

Levi spoke carefully: "If you want to get a deal that satisfies both parties, we should have enough trust in each other, Your Excellency."

Geller shook his head, looked aside, and said, "You should be able to tell that I hope to put my family on the right track."

"Congressmen, governors... Haha, to be a bit unrealistic, President Robbins may appear in the future." He smiled.

"However, politicians have their own rules in society. Sometimes you have to obey them and make most of them happy." Geller said, "For example, I know a few friends who don't like to see BOI get Too many automatic weapons.”

Hearing this, Levi suddenly understood.

As the de facto half-owner of California, the Robbins family is also the staunchest supporter of the presidential candidate. Once Harding is successfully elected, the Robbins family will also gain a large number of connections and reputation. Under Harding's arrangements, they may even obtain the position of permanent secretary and truly enter the political world.

But the premise of all this is that the Robbins family, which is currently relatively weak in politics, does not offend other forces, such as the Department of War, that is, the military.

Due to the particularity of its functions, BOI has extremely high power and independence among government departments, and because it is almost entirely composed of wizards, its closed nature is also very strong.

Therefore, the military does not trust BOI very much. They are afraid that once BOI's low-level wizards install military weapons on a large scale, an independent and powerful armed force will be formed. Considering that the wizard himself is stronger than ordinary people, BOI with the blessing of firepower can definitely provoke a small-scale war.

The Robbins family is worried that the military will be dissatisfied because they sell weapons to Levi, who is a BOI investigator.

Levi pondered for a moment, and the conflicting point should be the word "large scale".

After all, if I just buy a machine gun for self-defense, the military won't say anything. But I have to buy too many. Mr. Robbins is afraid that I will give these weapons to other people? The meaning of this is different.

After understanding this, Levi smiled and said, "I should have told Ricardo yesterday that I bought these weapons just to arm me."

Geller nodded, admiration in his eyes, and raised his finger to signal him to continue.

"I think you should know that I am a wizard." Levi thought for a moment and decided to show a little more sincerity. "One of my witchcrafts allows me to store weapons and take them out for use at any time."

"It's amazing." Geller nodded.

In fact, at this point, he had dispelled most of his doubts about Levi. It was normal for wizards to find ways to improve their witchcraft. There was no need for him to make up a lie to deceive himself.

"This batch of weapons will be accepted in my own name." Levi smiled, "I think you should be able to rest assured."

"But I think we still need something real." Geller smiled and continued calmly.

What Levi has said so far has been empty talk, and no one can tell whether he will drift away as soon as he gets the weapon.

Of course, another reason is that Geller wanted to develop a deeper relationship with Levi. He saw Levi's potential, and just as Levi thought Charlie could invest, Geller thought Levi was worth investing in. Although Levi is only the lowest employee of BOI now, who knows where he will rise to in the future?

Having a friend in one of the most powerful police departments in the union was also a real bonus for Robbins.

And it just so happened that Levi had this intention.

He smiled and looked at Charlie behind him.

The latter was stunned, pointed at himself and asked in disbelief: "Me?"

Levi nodded and turned his eyes.

"Yes, I happen to have a longer-term business that I would like to cooperate with you."
