Cave Refuge-Chapter 185 - 184 Greed and Sobriety_1

The atmosphere had become a bit silent when one of Mace’s men reported that the goods were ready and could be loaded at any time.

Upon hearing this, Dong Tianyu, who didn’t want to wait any longer, asked Mace to start loading the goods immediately.

Mace first instructed one of his men to proceed, then turned to Dong Tianyu and said, "While unloading earlier, an extra 0.33 tons of frozen goods were unloaded. How should we handle this? Should we load them back or would you like to purchase some other items?"

Although Mace hoped that Dong Tianyu would dismiss the goods generously, this scenario was just wishful thinking. Even though it was only 0.33 tons, it was equal to 330 kilograms.

The weight of this meat was substantial regardless of where it was.

However, upon hearing Mace’s inquiry, Dong Tianyu’s initial thought was to forget it, returning the goods would be a hassle.

But upon seeing Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson on the other side of the room, Dong Tianyu casually said, "Just distribute the extra goods to them as clothing and daily necessities."

Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and they felt happier inside.

As Dong Tianyu’s words indicated his consideration for them, they anticipated that their future days wouldn’t turn out as bad.

Although Mace was glad to hear this, he politely asked, "What standard should I follow?"

"You must use the standard you use for yourselves, it can only be higher, not lower. Choose wisely."

Upon hearing Dong Tianyu’s words, Mace clenched his fist, thinking to himself: "Yes, a small profit! This guy is my money god. I’m glad it was my turn to be on duty today."

When Mace asked about the selection criteria, Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson became apprehensive once more. But when Dong Tianyu said that the highest standard should be followed, they felt relieved.

The two of them had not been in the room for long, yet their emotions had been as fluctuating as a roller coaster ride.

After confirming Dong Tianyu’s plan, Mace called his junior and he was immediately handed a metal rod.

After seeing the metal rod, Dong Tianyu scanned it with his Divine Sense and immediately understood that this was the standard detection rod used in regular security checks.

Mace activated the detection rod and casually scanned his subordinate, the ’beep beep beep’ sound kept echoing around.

He then explained to Dong Tianyu, "This is a high-precision metal detector, mainly used to detect if there are any metals on the body. Before each Canary leaves our custody, we scan them in front of our clients to confirm that they are not carrying any odd stuff.

Of course, if you still have any doubts, you can personally check every part of the Canary once you take her away."

Mace finished with a suggestive twinkle in his eye.

Dong Tianyu smiled as he watched Mace use the detector to scan Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson, and simultaneously, Dong Tianyu used his Divine Sense to scan both of them.

The result was as Mace had said; there were no metals on them. Their clothing only had buttons and no metal zippers, avoiding any suspicion.

Although Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson felt a bit awkward, both Mace and Dong Tianyu didn’t pay any further attention to them. After briefly settling the matter of the leftover frozen goods, they left the room and entered the passage.

The temperature in the room must have been around 30 degrees Celsius. Due to the transportation of the frozen goods, the temperature in the passage decreased a little, but due to the high temperature outside, the temperature in the passage quickly rose again to nearly 40 degrees Celsius.

Dong Tianyu, walking in front, kept an eye on Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson who were behind him; both of them were sweating due to the heat, but showed no signs of heatstroke, indicating a decent level of physical fitness.

Upon reaching the exit of the passage, Dong Tianyu tapped his black car again. However, this time the car didn’t block the path with its back door, but adjusted its position so that the side door parked near the entry.

As the side door of the black car slowly opened, the lift platform on the lower side also gently lowered. Dong Tianyu instructed Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson behind him, "You both, go in first from the side door and don’t move about inside."

Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson obediently followed Dong Tianyu’s instructions. They cautiously stepped onto the lift platform and entered the black car through the side door.

After the two of them entered the car, the lift platform raised again, the side door slowly closed, and the black car readjusted its position with its rear door towards the outside of the passage, making it easier for the upcoming goods loading process.

The first batch of goods that were brought over were the commonly used goods picked by Mace for Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson. Even though they were packed, Dong Tianyu scanned them with his Divine Sense and instantly knew what was inside.

Most of them were high-end clothes. Despite the sweltering temperature outside, the package contained clothes for all four seasons. Moreover, it not only consisted of clothes that one would wear outside, but also many outfits meant to be worn at home exclusively for Dong Tianyu’s viewing pleasure.

Apart from the clothes, there was an abundance of cosmetics, bags, daily necessities. The purchase power of frozen meat stands to be quite robust at this time.

Originally, Mace was planning to unpack the items so that Dong Tianyu could check them, but Dong Tianyu waved his hand indicating no need to go through the trouble, they could just load them directly.

Hearing this, Mace somewhat regretted his greed, thinking that if he knew earlier that Dong Tianyu didn’t care about these goods, he could have just randomly packed anything.

However, this greedy thought didn’t stay long. Mace quickly came to his senses, remembering that he was just a bartender and that he only earned a commission from the trades made; no matter how much he skimped on items, nothing would come back to him.

But if Dong Tianyu learned about this incident, Mace knew he would lose a significant amount of his commission, let alone the risk of Dong Tianyu retaliating directly. After all, customers making large transactions like Dong Tianyu were rare.

Although Dong Tianyu might not come for any transactions for a long time after this one, it’s always good to establish a beneficial relationship when there are no conflicts of interest.

With these thoughts, Mace’s greed completely vanished, and his mood improved significantly.

This round of loading was more troublesome than the last unloading, even though both the quantity and weight of the goods were significantly less.

However, this time they were loading live cargo. Items like fruit tree seedlings were manageable, and chicks, ducklings, and goslings could be put in a cage. Since they didn’t have iron cages, they had to bind the pigs, cows, and sheep well. Otherwise, once loaded, they would definitely eat the fruit tree seedlings loaded earlier.

In addition, they had freshwater fish. If they didn’t bind the hoofed animals properly, it may cause problems later.

Although they weren’t responsible for the safety of the goods after loading, it never hurt to take precautionary measures in advance.
