Chapter 371 Action Begins
Port Louis Governor's Office.!
Sir Holebas sat in the main seat of the restaurant, holding a knife and fork in his hand and slowly enjoying the fat and tender golden steak on the plate. His every move seemed very elegant. After eating the last small piece of steak, he picked up the napkin on the table and carefully wiped the greasy mouth, reached out to take the cup filled with one-third of the wine and drank it, and his eyes gradually stared at the calm young man opposite the dining table.
As noon approached, Xialan visited Sir Holebas. Perhaps Holebas had expected the other party to come early in the morning, so he prepared a sumptuous lunch to treat the other party.
Before lunch, neither of them talked about what happened last night, but just casually said some polite words, as if there was no topic in the two strangers. In fact, they were indeed strangers to each other.
"I need to worry about helping me with one thing."
Xia Lan suddenly spoke, and Sir Holebas immediately realized that the topic was coming.
"What's the matter?" he asked quite straightforwardly.
"There is an ancient relics from many years ago buried underground in the abandoned warehouse in Baifan District, and I need to use your power to help me dig it out." Xia Lan said calmly.
"Ancient relics?" Holebass's expression froze and said, "Are you sure?"
What are ancient relics? Based on Elderland's years, rare objects left before the Silver Age can be called ancient relics. There are many types of ancient relics, but no matter which one is worth it.
"It's true." Xia Lan said.
"I didn't expect you to tell me such an important secret. Are you not afraid that I will take over the relics?" Sir Holebas said, shaking his wine glass and staring at Xia Lan.
"Compared with relics and lives, would you choose the former or the latter?" Xia Lan said calmly.
"Are you threatening me?" Holebas frowned.
"No. I'm just explaining a fact. Because you are not able to withstand the dangers hidden behind this relic." Xia Lan said.
"Dangerous?" Holebas was stunned.
"Of course. If you have no other thoughts about this relic, the danger will naturally not exist." Xia Lan said.
"Can I take this as your warning?" Holebas snorted coldly.
"Just, you are a smart person. You may not take the so-called threats, warnings, lies, and perhaps you don't take these seriously. I only have one purpose, a relic. Relics that I need to get regardless of everything." Xia Lan said.
"Where is the exact relic?" Holebas said with a deep face.
"The depth of nearly 100 meters underground in the abandoned warehouse No. 112." Xia Lan said.
"A hundred meters deep?" Holebas said in surprise: "Are you sure you are not kidding me? The depth of Port Louis is 100 meters deep in the surface of Port Louis!"
"I didn't lie because the relics were buried in the groundwater layer." Xia Lan said lightly: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you for help!"
"You have caused me a big problem." Holebas put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice.
"Perhaps Sir McFadden, the missing, can be an excuse for you to unearth the excavation." Xia Lan said intentionally or unintentionally.
"Sir McFadden?" Holebas pondered deeply about the other person's words.
"For example, you accidentally discovered that Sir McFadden built the warehouse to deal with the foundation, which left a hidden danger that seriously threatened the underground drainage pipeline of Port Louis..." Xia Lan said.
"Then we can unearth the excavation openly?" Holebas immediately realized.
"Yes, with your power in Port Louis, this kind of problem is simply not worth mentioning to you as long as you have the right excuses." Xia Lan said.
"But a 100-meter underground excavation is a very large project, and this matter will be exposed sooner or later." Holebas frowned.
"How long do you expect the excavation will take?" Xia Lan asked.
"In one month." Holebas thought for a moment and gave the answer.
"As long as we send people to strictly block the excavated warehouse area and block the mouths and freedom of movement of the excavators, one month is enough to keep this secret before we excavate the relics." Xia Lan said calmly.
"When will we start the excavation?" Holebas nodded. He asked after approving Xia Lan's suggestion
"The faster the better!" Thinking of the mysterious man who appeared in the old warehouse a few days ago, Xia Lan said cautiously: "At that time, there may be unknown people quietly investigating during the excavation process. This must be worth noting."
"Unknown people? Could it be that anyone else knows the relics buried underground in the warehouse?" Holebas said in surprise.
"They knew that there might be relics buried underground in Port Louis, but they did not know where the relics were buried." Xia Lan said.
"Those people are the source of the so-called danger of the relics you call?" Holebas looked at Xia Lan thoughtfully.
"That's right, and I'll give you a piece of advice. It's best not to try to approach them, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences." Xia Lan said sternly.
Holebas was a little surprised by Xia Lan's overreaction. From this point alone, we can see Xia Lan's fear of those people, and who are those people?
After talking about the topic, Holebas immediately transferred the topic to Hemia and his daughter.
"In the morning, I had sent someone to the Alchemy Association to inform the people there. After a few days of returning from the pharmacist master who went to Minas to participate in academic exchanges, you can take Anderin and the others to the association for healing."
"Can I ask the pharmacist to make some other things?" Xia Lan thought for a while and said.
"It depends on your own ability." Holebas said with a expressionless expression: "Just asking the pharmacist master of the association has made me pay a great favor price, and I no longer have the ability to help you."
Xia Lan nodded and showed that she understood.
"Did they say anything after they go back?"
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little silent, and Holebas suddenly asked.
"No, but they are already planning to return to Brito after the treatment." Xia Lan said.
"Whether you go back or go back..." Holebas sighed softly, his majestic face shook his head helplessly.
"It's over, I think I should go back." Xia Lan stood up and said goodbye.
Holebas took out a token from his arms and threw it to the other party and said, "This is my warrant, with it you can keep it open in Port Louis."
Xia Lan accepted the warrant and looked at Holebas differently.
"What's the meaning?"
"The favors that both of them owe each other." Holebas said indifferently.
After touching the textured metal token in his hand, a glimmer of light flashed and the token disappeared in Xia Lan's hand.
"No wonder you can get to where the Governor of Port Louis today."
After saying that, Xia Lan left without looking back.
Holebas sat alone in the restaurant, took the bottle and filled the empty wine glasses on the table in front of him, and then drank them all.
"Neshid, how do you feel about him this time?"
The empty restaurant echoed Holebas's voice as if he was talking to himself, but at some point there was another person behind Holebas.
"Pilal did not lie." Nesid said with a serious face. "Even though I took a special hidden potion to observe the other party, I still had the illusion that the other party's perception seemed to have discovered my existence early in the morning. Most importantly, I felt a faint class suppression in him!"
Class suppression only feels when there are obvious differences in the strength class. As Holebass' personal bodyguard, Nesied's strength can be imagined. Even he feels class suppression when facing Xia Lan, which undoubtedly shows that Xia Lan's strength is obviously above Nesied.
"Have you investigated his origin and identity?" Holebas said with a rosy face and a little drunk.
"We will have a rough understanding within half a month." Nessid said.
"Half a month? Maybe it's still time." Holebas murmured.
"Sir, the office time is ready." Nessid reminded at this time.
"Political affairs should not be abandoned, let's go."
...
Xia Lan did not tell Holebas where the relics were truly buried, and she was always guarding against others. Although Holebas was not a greedy person in the game's impression, don't forget his identity. As a qualified and outstanding politician, this alone is enough to make Xia Lan have no trust, because the most untrustworthy person in the world is the politician.
Moreover, once the excavation operation attracts the attention of subverting Fangs, due to the false location of the relics, even if they send someone to investigate, they will gain nothing.
Warehouse No. 112 is not far from Warehouse No. 132. Xia Lan, the only one who knows where the relics are really buried, only needs to swim directly under Warehouse No. 132 through the circulating groundwater layer after the excavation is successful. This will not only make Holebass ruthlessly cross the river and destroy bridges in the future, but also avoid subverting the investigation of Fangs. Why not do such a killing two birds with one stone?
A plan is often the least safe, because most of the time the planned plan cannot be carried out smoothly. In order to deal with unexpected situations in all aspects, only a more detailed backup plan can be formulated to ensure the final plan success.
Now the problem of excavating relics has been solved. At this stage, Xia Lan’s primary concern is to improve all aspects of the backup plan.
From beginning to end, he had only one potential enemy!
Subvert the Fangs
He was considering whether he needed to delay the time when Hemia and her daughter returned to Brito, because once Heria and her daughter returned to Brito, Catherland would inevitably go back with him, and then no one would do the work of surveillance and subversion of the grassroots members of Fang.
Of course, he can also choose mercenaries to solve this kind of thing.
