Outside the door, Bard lit a cigarette for himself and threw one to Henry.
Henry waved his hand and refused. "Bard, do you have any good deals? We are pretty free these days."
"Haha." Bard narrowed his eyes and laughed. "Brother, I have some good deals, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to take them."
When Henry heard Bard's words, he immediately understood that he was inquiring about his background. Henry asked directly, "How many souls do you want?"
The meaning of those so-called souls was "life". Henry did not answer the question directly, but asked such a question, which made Bard unable to guess Henry's origin.
"Don't need any life." Bard shook his head. "You should have something else."
"Hey, it looks like Brother Bard's been a lobbyist for us?" Henry pulled a chair and sat down. "Who do you work for? If you don't tell me, I dare not take it. Our boss is not very famous here, but he has many enemies. I can't accept deals so easily."
Bard squinted his eyes, carefully looked at Henry for a while, and then said, "Zachary Sanchez."
"Oh, the General of the North District." Henry showed a look of sudden enlightenment. "I'm afraid that it's not easy to please General Zachary. You don't lack men. You don't want anyone's life, so you want to..."
Henry didn't finish his words. He kept looking toward the centre of the city, and his meaning was obvious.
That place was where the gold mine was located, which was the foundation of the whole Golden City.
Bard also pulled a stool and sat opposite Henry. "Brother, we all know what's going on here. The whole situation has changed. Everyone wants to be the next leader. You're quite strong, so you should find yourself a way out."
Henry shook his head and said, "Brother Bard, you think too highly of me. I'm just a soldier for others. I am just listening to the orders coming from the top."
"Brother, no matter what your superiors decide, the final decision is up to you. Think about it. Tonight, Zachary will hold a grand banquet, and he has already heard of your affairs from the city guards." Bard took out a red invitation letter from his pocket. He handed it to Henry. "I'll wait for you downstairs."
Henry took the invitation in his hand, shook his head, and said, "Okay, I'll call you. But Brother Bard, if I do anything, I'll be scolded."
Henry rubbed his fingers.
"Don't worry. If the matter is settled, you'll get a lot of benefits. The reward will definitely satisfy you." Bard patted his chest and guaranteed.
"Okay." Henry nodded. Then he got up and walked to his room.
Bard also got up and went downstairs. After he went downstairs, he took out his cell phone, dialled a number and said, "Miss Belinda, the news has been delivered. There is no problem with them. I estimate that there are more than 200 people. They are just a group of idiots coming to explore. Every one sleeps so peacefully. Obviously, the people behind them want to take part in it."
