Curiosity was a curious thing

“Please come with me, Mr Xia” Beryl was especially polite today

Xia Lei hesitated “Okay I’ll go with you guys, but ”

“No problem This won’t take much of your time” Beryl saze went to the pocket of Beryl’s suit The listening device he had put in there was activated It was part of the Zodiac Tea transmission once it was activated He would be able to listen in on Beryl’s conversations with others after Amanda set up the receiver for him

But noas not the time to use the receiver

Xia Lei followed Beryl to another zone of the exhibition hall where the Aiants were Lockheed Martin, General Dyna, Raytheon, and Northrop Gruiants in this exhibition hall, and even the likes of Barret had to stand respectfully aside

The top American arms dealer took up alht weapons could be found in their booth, as well as heavy equipe helicopter transport aircraft, ar vehicles, heavy machinery vehicles and anti- And all these were just Lockheed Martin’s ar their naval or air weapons Lockheed Martin was the hter planes were the ht He had an ambition to turn Thunder Horse Group into the best weapons manufacturer in the world, but when he saw the weapons and technological prowess on display in the Lockheed Martin booth, he discovered that he had a long, long way to go to realise his drea yesterday He had looked down on Lockheed Martin in the French Foreign Legion military base yesterday, and the memory made him flush

They walked past the Lockheed Martin exhibition booth and to the office area Beryl led Xia Lei to an office door and stopped “This is the place We’re here Please come in, Mr Xia” She reached out a hand and opened the door

Xia Lei walked into the office

Hattori Masai also walked into the office, and he closed the door behind himself All their subordinates were closed behind the door

Xia Lei did not stay polite with the two japanese people He sat casually on the sofa “Speak What do you want to talk with me about?”

Hattori Masai sat opposite Xia Lei but did not speak He looked quietly at Xia Lei, as if thinking about how he should start the conversation

Beryl said nothing either She went to the wine cabinet and brought out a bottle of French wine and three glasses She put the three wine glasses on the coffee table between the sofas, then poured wine into the the whole process

“Don’t pour wine,” said Xia Lei “It’s working hours for me noon’t drink”

“Mr Xia, are you afraid that I would drug your wine?” Beryl looked at Xia Lei then Her tone was polite but her eyes held a trace of conteuys,” said Xia Lei flatly

Beryl suddenly lifted a wineglass and downed the wine in it in one go She then drank the second glass and the third glass She licked her lips after downing the third glass “There’s no problem now, is there, Mr Xia?”

Xia Lei still shook his head “You could have taken the antidote beforehand”

“You…”

“It’s fine if you don’t ine” Hattori Masao smiled flatly “Mr Xia, I know you are prejudiced towards us japanese and I know it’s because of history, but I hope we can look past that and into the future!”

“Well said” Xia Lei gave a laugh “But I don’t agree hat you say I am not prejudiced towards most japanese The fara artists, or those women who sell their bodies to make films I have no prejudice towards these japanese people”

Hattori Masao and Beryl exchanged glances They were not slow on the uptake, and they could sense the hiddento talk business with theht, Mr Xia I cannot hope to have you change your ih just one or two interactions I do not want to keep you either, so I will be straightforward” Hattori Masao said, “You said yesterday that you will exchange your technology for japanese electronics technology I called the relevant departments in japan to ask for opinions, and they said they would consider it Now let y do you want?”
