Darkstone Code-Chapter 837 - 835: You’re the Only One I Trust

The last, or maybe the one before last, maid tried to seduce Lynch in the same way.

Lynch remembered clearly, the girl had a red mole on the inside of her thigh. Later, he might have forgotten to inform the service company about it, forgetting the matter, and when he returned, the maid had changed.

Is this the second, or maybe the third one doing this?

He couldn’t recall, but he had no intention of looking down on anyone.

From the homeless by the roadside to the President in the President’s Mansion, everyone has the right and way to choose how they live. It’s their freedom, and isn’t the Federation precisely a free nation?

After getting into the car, Austin glanced at Lynch twice; she had seen everything that happened just now.

As the security captain responsible for Lynch’s personal protection, apart from not sleeping in Lynch’s bed at night, she was almost always close to Lynch throughout the day.

This was also one of the reasons the Senior Soldier chose to transition to a desk job because sometimes, it was indeed inconvenient for him to be present; it was better to have a woman handle close protection.

Lynch noticed Austin’s gaze, deeply sinking into the luxurious car seat, "Disdain, or do you think I’m not a good person?"

He didn’t say he was a bad person, not a good person, and might not necessarily be a bad person.

Austin thought for a moment, "Just feel it’s somewhat incomprehensible."

Lynch was rather pleased, "I don’t see it that way. Firstly, from a female perspective, in this currently male-dominated society, relying on men to gain survival rights and the possibility to enhance one’s quality of life is not excessive."

"Not liking others doing this doesn’t mean you are right and others are wrong."

"Secondly, women are starting to attempt gaining ways to support their consumption without working, which signifies the economic revival, a good thing."

If one day, those pretty girls are seen everywhere on the streets, it indicates the decline of the economy; companies have fired those who merely take money without working, the vase girls.

These girls, relying solely on their physical advantages to obtain work, will find it difficult to locate suitable positions in a society with stronger professional competitiveness. They can only rely on luck on the streets, looking for opportunities.

But when the pretty women on the streets start to decrease, it signifies an economic revival, as companies have spare cash to bring in some not-too-hardworking girls to please the boss or lighten the office atmosphere.

In the villa area likewise, during bad economic times, even the wealthy may not live too well, cutting down expenses is inevitable.

The profession with the highest unemployment rate during every economic recession is "driver" since those bosses can save expenses by driving themselves.

Maid, butler, etc., not to mention, can’t they clean themselves?

If it really doesn’t work, accumulate some dirt for a while and hire a cleaner to clean it once thoroughly, they certainly wouldn’t employ various maids and butlers for a long period.

Now the social economy is improving, the wealthy are pursuing enjoyment, and those pretty, non-professionally skilled girls can find jobs again.

Austin thinks Lynch’s arguments are just sophistry, nonsense; she totally ignores them.

When Lynch arrived at the company, the young middle-aged man from the Duncan Clan was already waiting.

Upon seeing Lynch, he immediately stepped forward to speak to Lynch or even shake hands, but Lynch raised his arm, and Austin gestured, instantly having a bodyguard block the young middle-aged man from Lynch’s path.

He just watched as Lynch entered the elevator and went upstairs.

He felt a bit bewildered, quickly followed by anger, which soon turned into helplessness.

This task was instructed by Mr. Jeruno; if it were solely his matter, he would rather bear the loss and leave immediately.

But Mr. Jeruno’s request, he dared not fail.

He obediently went to the secretary’s office, filled out the registration form, and after a few minutes, the secretary smiled and informed him that Mr. Lynch was willing to see him.

Very humiliating, he gritted his teeth.

As the elevator was about to reach the top floor, he patted his somewhat stiff face, then squeezed out a barely acceptable smile.

With the sound of the bell, the elevator door opened.

He took a big stride forward.

The entire floor is one room, with Lynch sitting in the center of it.

Actually, to this young middle-aged man, this... seems like an undecorated shell, the floor and ceiling are still unadorned cement.

Exposed pipes and lines entwined, as if they might fall anytime.

Columns in the floor are also unrefined, just standing stark between floors.

Contrastively, Lynch’s desk, chair, and the bookshelf behind him are exceptionally exquisite.

The stark contrast renders the initially jarring "decorative style" here suddenly somewhat... pleasing to the eye.

He didn’t have time to think more, striding forward to enthusiastically introduce his identity, "Mr. Lynch, I have a business I’d like to entrust to your Darkstone Security."

Lynch nodded, "Let’s hear it."

No further difficulties, a very serious attitude, this also made the young middle-aged man’s mood slightly better, "I don’t know if you’ve read the newspaper..."

Lynch nodded again, "I have."

"Then you must know about what happened to the Federation merchant Mike in Suge?"

"Yes, I know."

The young middle-aged man suddenly became angry, "In fact, Mike’s family has already reported to the local police. The police said that those who occupied the shop paid money to other people and bought the shop and the goods inside."

"The locals believe this is a legal transaction, so they did not prosecute or do anything to the person who bought the shop and goods!"

"The person who sold the shop and goods is recognized as a bandit, the local police did a simple search and issued a warrant but took no further action."

"I am very angry, Mr. Lynch, I believe you must be very angry too after seeing this news!"

Lynch did not answer immediately but looked at him.

At first, the young middle-aged man could meet Lynch’s gaze, but soon his eyes began to flicker, wander, and finally look elsewhere.

"Yes, I am very angry too!" About twenty seconds later, Lynch gave the answer the young middle-aged man wanted.

In the plan, after Lynch answered this, everyone’s emotions should be in place, but now... the young middle-aged man’s heart greeted Lynch while his face needed to show grief.

"Mr. Lynch, overseas merchants cannot protect their rights, whether it’s their wealth or their life."

"The Federation Government cannot require the locals to do anything, many similar things have been happening and will continue to happen, it’s time to change this situation."

He took a deep breath, "I heard Darkstone Security undertakes military actions outside the Federation..."

Lynch nodded, "That’s correct."

The young man showed some smiles, "Then how much do I need to pay to find those who killed Mike and avenge him?"

Although the young man was mentally prepared, he was still surprised by the price Lynch quoted.

"I can send an independent combat squad over, the price is... three million."

The young middle-aged man’s eyelids twitched, "How many people are in this independent combat squad?"

He thought maybe he misunderstood the concept of an "independent combat squad" and that’s why he felt it was expensive, maybe this squad isn’t "small"?

For example, twenty people, thirty to fifty people, then this money wouldn’t be expensive.

"Seven people..."

"And I also need to tell you that if the cost isn’t enough, there will be an additional charge later, so while paying three million, you also have to pay a deposit of no less than one and a half million."

The young middle-aged man was a bit angry again, "Why is it so expensive?"

Lynch shrugged casually, "Because what you want is a ’military action’, do you understand?"

"I know hiring a hitman is cheap, two or three thousand, or thirty to fifty thousand can hire a decent hitman, if you give a bit more, two hundred or three hundred thousand, they can complete this task."

"But you must understand one thing, hitmen killing people is illegal, my people killing people is legal, three million plus potential additional costs, buying a legal killing, this price isn’t high, sir."

Lynch’s words suddenly made the young middle-aged man realize why Mr. Jeruno instructed this matter must be completed by Lynch, because currently, only Lynch’s Darkstone Security has the qualification for overseas military actions in the entire Federation.

They want people to see it as a legitimate military strike, not hiring hitmen to kill people out of anger!

Despite the purpose being to kill those people, the process is different, the reason is different, and the resulting outcome is different.

Letting hitmen kill, even if the Overseas Security Law is passed, could still leave some hidden problems.

But turning it into a military strike, then there aren’t as many problems. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The middle-aged man (young) quickly reacted upon understanding, "Price is no problem, when can action be taken?"

"As soon as the money is transferred, action can take place immediately."

Lynch then seemed to recall something, "By the way, I can arrange a battlefield photographer to act together, recording the entire process of the operation, if you need it."

This addition made the young middle-aged man slightly stunned, he nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course record the entire process!"

Even if these recordings won’t be used, at least they can be taken out if needed someday.

For the Duncan Clan, money is not an issue at all.

Lynch’s face showed more smiles, "Four million, deposit two million..."

The young middle-aged man furrowed his brows, "Why did it increase again?"

Lynch replied with a smile, "You can carry a camera yourself and set off with my men, the price remains unchanged, but I only trust you, you can consider it..."
