Chapter 348 Chance Encounter
Starlight Trading Company, a commercial giant in the human kingdom, exists in almost every city in the human kingdom.
Even in border cities like Roserowe, there is the presence of Starlight Trading Company, not to mention Brahma City.
As we all know, the headquarters of Starlight Trading Company is located in Brahma City. The headquarters of Starlight Trading Company has made great contributions to Brahma City becoming the most prosperous city in the human kingdom.
It not only supports the economic trade of Brahma, but also contributes nearly one-third of Brahma's annual tax revenue.
The welfare benefits are also well-known to be good. Ordinary citizens fight hard for job opportunities in Starlight Trading Company. I heard that Starlight Trading Company is so wealthy that it directly issued a ticket to every employee of the Vancheng headquarters for the goddess singer Vancheng's concert, and everyone has a day off, which makes countless people jealous.
The Starlight Trading Company operates a wide range of businesses, from daily necessities for residents to some powerful war props. Whether it is goods from the human kingdom or alien races, anything you can think of is sold in the Starlight Trading Company.
The supplies at the headquarters are the most complete and the best. Several items at the level of "divine relics" have appeared at the auction of the Starlight Trading Company at the Fancheng headquarters. Many alien forces have been attracted to get involved, so you can imagine how great their influence is.
Of course, the items that Starlight Trading Company openly sells are all presentable. Some items that are listed as "banned items" by the three major countries and the Holy See cannot be bought here. If you want to buy "banned items", you can only go to the black market.
Although it was night, the place was still bustling with commoners coming to purchase daily necessities, nobles coming to buy jewelry and luxury goods, and adventurers coming to select various props.
After arriving in Brahma City, Genos changed his armor, put on everyday clothes, and followed the crowd into Starlight Trading Company.
"Daily groceries, appraisal office, auction office, potion props, weapon props..." This was not the first time that Genos came here. He had lived in Brahma for a long time, so he was very familiar with the headquarters of the Starlight Trading Company.
After walking around several large shops on the first floor of Starlight Commercial Bank, Genos did not find anything unusual. This was normal. If he could find something unusual just by walking around, then Starlight Commercial Bank would not have been able to hide it from the Holy See for so long.
Fortunately, Jayvini had already pointed out the direction for him, so he didn't need to run around like a headless fly.
"Where is the passage leading to the underground?" Genos wandered around looking for suspicious places.
It shouldn't be in the public trading area, as there are too many people there and it's not suitable. Could it be in the place where those people say "no entry for outsiders"?
"Huh? Genos?"
Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice sounded in Genos' ears.
"Ah? Uh, Lord Luo...Lord Luo Qiu." Genos looked up and saw a group of familiar faces.
Let’s not talk about Luo Qiu and Meng Li, as they had just met in Kushiwa not long ago. Neris and the others are also old acquaintances. Although Neris was in disguise, she still couldn’t hide from Genos’s eyes. Genos had been to her concerts more than once. Only the red-haired girl dressed as a maid looked a little unfamiliar.
"What a coincidence, why are you here?" Genos said dryly.
An unexpected event occurred.
"We were just strolling around and didn't expect to meet the famous seventh seat at the round table." Luo Qiu smiled.
Unexpectedly, Genos immediately became nervous when he heard this, and looked around like a thief, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one noticed here.
"Hey, Genos, you're not really going to be a thief, are you?" Old Man Senli teased.
"Pah, pah, pah, how could I be a thief." Genos held up a battle barrier to isolate the sound, and whispered: "I have an important mission this time. I can't tell you the details. I'm leaving first. I'll treat you to dinner when I have time."
After saying that, Genos lowered his head and prepared to leave.
After walking a few steps, Genos suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, please pretend not to know me next time we meet." "So mysterious." Old Man Mori Li shook his head.
Grandpa Senli and Genos are old acquaintances. In the past, this Knight of the Round Table often came to propose to Nerys, which made Grandpa Senli very worried. The two of them had fought several times. But today he seemed a little abnormal. He didn't come to propose to her. It seems that this mission is indeed very important.
No one else took it too seriously. After all, they were Knights of the Round Table and the task was heavy, which was understandable.
Luo Qiu looked at Genos's receding back and whispered a few words.
"Huh? Luo Qiu, what are you talking about?" Meng Li saw Luo Qiu's mouth moving but heard no sound.
"Nothing, okay, let's continue shopping." Luo Qiu shook his head.
……
"The passage leading to the underground factory is on the top floor."
This is the sentence Luo Qiu just left for Genos.
"How does he know my mission target?" Genos was puzzled. "Did my sister ask him for help?"
After thinking about it carefully, this is really possible. She is worthy of being my sister, the most outstanding saint in the history of the Holy See. She has prepared for a rainy day and invited such powerful external aid. Now that someone is backing me up, can't I just let go and do my job?
There was a glimmer of excitement in Genos' eyes. He had witnessed Luo Qiu's strength with his own eyes. He was strong beyond imagination. With him by his side, he believed that no matter what unexpected situation occurred, it could be controlled in time.
After a moment, Genos calmed down. Regardless of whether Luo Qiu was the foreign aid invited by Jevonne, this operation was extremely important and related to the entire human kingdom. It could not tolerate any carelessness and it was better to act cautiously.
But who would have thought that the passage leading to the underground would be on the top floor.
You know, the headquarters of Starlight Trading Company is the tallest building in Fancheng, with sixty-six floors. This shows that the infrastructure level of the other world is not bad.
The Starlight Trading Company’s headquarters will not be open to the public after the 50th floor, and is advertised as an office space and warehouse.
Logically speaking, it is reasonable for Starlight Trading Company to have a warehouse with more than ten floors since it has such a big business. Genos didn't think too much about it before. According to conventional thinking, he thought that the underground factory must lead from the first floor to the underground, which is simple and convenient. Who the hell would have thought that it leads from the top floor? Which designer designed this layout? It's really a psychedelic operation.
If Luo Qiu hadn't reminded him, it would probably take Genos a long time to discover the clues.
"How did you sneak up there?"
Genos bared his teeth. There were a large number of detection magics arranged on the roof of the Starlight Trading Company. The slightest disturbance would trigger the magic and set off the alarm. There were also people watching 24 hours a day. It was very difficult to invade from the outside, unless there was advanced invisibility magic or counterintelligence magic.
Coincidentally, Genos happened to have a magic scroll of "anti-reconnaissance" in his hand. This was the spoils he kept privately after wiping out a criminal gang. However, few people in the Holy See knew that he had this magic scroll, including himself and only two others.
and so--
"Is this also part of your calculation, sister?"
