Chapter 522: Chapter 515: The Three Giants

Li Jinfang was pushed away, he was pushed to go filming, and if he truly got injured, both he and Gao Yuan would be in a terrible situation.

As for Gao Yuan, he was brought along with Lady Xinghe to meet a few very important people, but exactly who these people were, Gao Yuan didn’t know.

The meeting place was at Gao Yuan’s home, but this time, there was no one else in his home. When Gao Yuan followed Ram into his living room, he was surprised to find six people casually seated on the couch, among whom was the familiar Renato.

As Ram and Gao Yuan entered, none of the seated figures stirred, which indicated they were very familiar with Ram, so familiar that there was no need for any superficial courtesies.

"Let me introduce you, this is Lady Xinghe, also our alien friend, and this is Gao Yuan, sent by Shenzhou and also my fellow villager."

After casually introducing Gao Yuan and Lady Xinghe, Ram pointed to the people sitting on the couch and said, "This is Big Ivan, a good friend of mine and the world’s largest arms dealer, um, in that normal world. This one is Justin, an information merchant."

Big Ivan seemed to be of a certain age, at least in his sixties—friendly in appearance, neither tall nor heavily built, but his eyes exuded an imposing aura.

Justin was different, looking in his forties with slicked-back hair gleaming with pomade, dressed in a gray suit with neatly lined stripes, a dark red silk tie, and a pair of shiny leather shoes. From any angle, this was the very picture of a flamboyant playboy.

Both Big Ivan and Justin nodded to Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan couldn’t help feeling that these two were... nothing special; he didn’t understand why Ram would specifically summon him to meet with them, as it seemed to be a matter of great importance.

Ram sat down on the couch, chose a comfortable position, and leaned back. He pointed to the others in turn and said, "This is Uri Young, this is Ivan, this is Polovitch; these three are important aides to Mr. Big Ivan. And this one you know, Mr. Cesare, oh, now it’s Renato, isn’t it?"

Renato smiled and said, "Well, the three giants of the underworld have gathered once again, but this world is no longer the one we knew, which is truly regrettable."

Gao Yuan couldn’t resist asking, "Sorry, the three giants of the underworld?"

Renato shrugged, "That’s right, Mr. Big Ivan has about a forty percent share of the arms market, Ram is the largest private military contractor, and Mr. Justin is the head of the Cicero Family, mainly dealing in intelligence business. Don’t you think, if there were a war to be fought, they would make the best partners?"

Ram said with a laugh, "Enough, the world is about to end, no use talking about the underworld."

"Indeed, the world is about to end, and now we, once the kings of the underworld, stand up to confront the aliens. So, why can’t we become the mainstream of this world? I mean, the new authorities."

Ram thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let’s not discuss this topic anymore."

Big Ivan also spoke with a serene expression, "The topic is entirely meaningless. Justin, is this what you were thinking? Is this why you requested this meeting?"

Justin spread his hands and said, "Renato’s proposal to me was very interesting, so I called you all here to listen."

Renato smiled and said, "Don’t misunderstand, gentlemen, I’m not saying we should turn the world upside down like the Sanitation Worker, but why can’t we establish a nation? Now we have the territory and the arms, and without any opposition, do you still want to rule only as kings of the underworld as before?"

Big Ivan thought for a moment and said, "This idea is meaningless. If the world is gone, what’s the point of establishing a country?"

Justin smiled and said, "No, no, no, it’s not about us establishing a country, but helping Ram establish a nation. We, the Cicero Family, deal in intelligence and can’t surface, and you, dealing in arms, um, if you get involved in establishing this nation, it won’t seem so... friendly."

Ram waved his hand and said, "Enough. Let’s end this topic here. I have no interest in establishing a nation, I’m not a lunatic like Nate."

Justin looked disappointed and said, "Alright then. Actually, I think we now have the basic conditions for establishing a nation. Even if the world is going to end, we could still enjoy it for a while. Since you’re not interested, let’s drop it."

Ram said, "Let’s talk business. I’m going to make a move on Djibouti. Do you have anyone who can help? Uri Young, Polovitch, you’re very familiar with Djibouti. Do you have someone particularly knowledgeable about its geography and also very reliable that you could lend me?"

The somewhat overweight Polovitch, in his forties, said, "Yes, of course, there is. However, my underling has no combat ability."

Uri Young was also in a suit, albeit a black one. He wasn’t as handsome as Justin, but he clearly also cared a lot about his appearance. If there was a difference between him and Justin, it was that Justin’s attire and demeanor were like that of a playboy, while Uri Young had the image of a corporate manager, the Wall Street type.

Uri Young said, "Djibouti is a very important transshipment port for us, so of course I have people who are familiar with the place. One of my underlings is very well acquainted with the geography of Djibouti, but the best part is, I’m very familiar with many officials at the Port of Djibouti, one of whom is under my control. If these people are still alive, they might be able to help you."

Ram looked at Justin, who smiled and said, "You’re not wrong, we do have people in Djibouti. After all, Djibouti is one of Africa’s most important hubs and there are many foreign military bases there. Hmm, Poseidon has not made use of our strength, so my people are intact. But there are some communication problems. I can provide you with a list, along with ways to contact them. If you can get in touch with them, they will give you detailed intelligence."

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Very well, I’ve got the guides I need, and a network of undercover informants. Hmm, nothing else, right?"

Justin quickly said, "Wait, wait a minute. We came to see the beautiful Lady Xinghe. You can’t just discuss business with us and then kick us out."

Ram laughed and said, "I’d only kick you out. Big Ivan and I still have important matters to discuss."

Justin shrugged, then turned to Xinghe with a smile, "Miss Xinghe, your beauty truly took me by surprise. I never imagined that you, being an alien, could be so charming."

Xinghe smiled slightly, looking a bit shy as she said, "Sweet talker, here’s a lollipop for you."

Xinghe took a lollipop from her pocket and handed it over, and Justin actually got up to take the lollipop, then said with a beaming smile, "Thank you."

Afterward, Justin looked at Gao Yuan and then said with an admiring face, "Mr. Gao, I must admit, as a man I’m starting to get jealous of you. Please allow me to express my admiration and respect for you. You know, when you have some time, please come over for a drink, I’d really like to have a good chat with you."
