Chapter 192: Diverting trouble to the east
YD.

There were dilapidated houses everywhere, with peeling walls and broken windows. The streets were narrow and dirty. Fully armed soldiers in uniform kept scolding the natives who tried to approach.

The faces of these soldiers were full of disgust, arrogance and disdain. Looking at those ignorant natives, they were full of pride for their country.

Among many dilapidated houses, in an area where the indigenous people are sparsely distributed, there stands a high-rise building with a completely different decorative style. Men in suits and top hats shuttle among them, with smiles on their faces, discussing with each other a series of business topics such as which direction to develop in, how to make money, etc.

Inside the high-rise building, the lobby is decorated with gorgeous marble floors and an exquisitely crafted carpet. A dazzling crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, and scattered exotic oil paintings are hung on the walls. This high-rise building standing in this backward country is the headquarters of the East India Company!

Located on the top floor of the East India Company, it is a large flat floor with north-south ventilation.

"Mr. Apollon, a call from the British Royal Secret Service!"

The middle-aged man in a neat uniform and with gold-rimmed eye sockets on his nose took his time out from his busy work, frowned slightly, but still signaled his secretary to put the documents on his desk.

"Why would they come to me? Strange!"

While muttering to himself, Apollon took the telegram file in front of him and browsed the information on it.

"..."

With a frown on his face, he finished reading the information in the telegram file, then looked deeply at the secretary who was waiting for instructions beside him.

"Who is in charge in Egypt recently?"

"Sir, Roel was originally in charge, but as you know, a new owner came there, and that new owner seems to hate us interfering in his affairs!"

The secretary adjusted his black-framed glasses and did not dare to say the man's name.

"Do you know what this telegram says?"

Apollon's voice had a slight tremor.

"Could something have happened in Egypt again?"

The secretary's expression was calm, and he pretended to be puzzled.

"Yes, someone is trying to sow discord between the government there and the Evernight Company. Haha, he is really brave. That person seems to be from our East India Company! Now the real boss has come to us. What do you want me to do?"

Apolleon stood up from his chair and glared fiercely at the secretary with flickering eyes. He didn't believe that his secretary would not know about such a big thing.

As a person second only to the emperor, his secretary was not appointed by himself, but by the real top figures in Great Britain. Even he himself didn't know the identity and background of his secretary. Unlike most businessmen of the East India Company, this guy was an aristocrat!

They were profit-seeking businessmen, and when they came across the Grand Duke of Eternal Night, who possessed considerable power and whose power was growing day by day, they could only run and crawl, and dared not confront him at all. Even when their own private mercenaries were beaten by the other side, they only dared to complain secretly, and on the surface compliment him on his good fight and brilliant performance!

Roel is his man and also a shrewd businessman. How could he have the guts to plot against Grand Duke Eternal Night? He even heard some time ago that the guy has married an 18-year-old girl and is spending his honeymoon at home.

Instead of enjoying your good life, you're seeking death?

Therefore, Apollon guessed with just a moment's thought that the person dealing with that person obviously possessed an extraordinary status. Even if he was not as good as the other party, he would definitely not be much worse!
Who else could it be except those great nobles?

Looking at the angry Apollon, the secretary was calm: "Mr. Apollon, maybe the Royal Secret Service is just exaggerating. That gentleman doesn't have the time to care about Africa. A group of ignorant natives are not worth the prosperous Evernight Company focusing its energy here.

The news I just received is that they have further expanded their corporate funds in America and seem to be intending to shift their focus. Maybe we can take this opportunity to make some money, after all, some of their industries in Great Britain have not yet developed firmly!"

?

"America? Shift of focus?"

Apollyon was a little shocked. You know, as the head of the East India Company, he was an outstanding businessman. Long before the establishment of the Eternal Night Company, his business had gone abroad. It can be said that his vision was unique and extraordinary.

The development of the Eternal Night Company shocked this outstanding British businessman. Both the person behind it and the speed of its company's growth were beyond his imagination. From an unknown company, it has suddenly grown into a giant that touches multiple fields. The size and potential of the Eternal Night Company are surging at an exaggerated momentum.

But such a terrifying giant, suddenly, in this period of rapid development, instead of focusing on developing its own industries in Great Britain, actually thought of shifting its focus to America, which was still developing its industry?

For Apolleon, although the mainland territory of Great Britain is smaller, the speed of business development there is far from comparable to that of America, which is still in civil strife!

"Even if Evernight Company shifts its focus to America, do you think they will completely ignore their industries in Great Britain?"

“No, no, no! In fact, we dare not touch the Evernight Company’s industry in Great Britain, but compared to there, the Evernight Company must be too lazy to care about Africa. After all, their development time is still too short, and both their manpower and foundation are relatively shallow!”

With his eyes narrowed, Apollon stared at the secretary who was speaking so arrogantly. "Oh, if you want to deal with the Evernight Company, you can, but don't involve our East India Company. We are just a group of profit-seeking businessmen. Even if we are acting as a government, our main goal is to make money, not to seek death!"

Apollon directly pressed the button on the side of the table, without paying any attention to the secretary whose face suddenly fell. Soon, an old man wearing a top hat and a suit came to the office with a group of fully armed soldiers.

"Apolleon, what is it?"

The old man looked at the two guys who seemed to be at loggerheads with some surprise. As a senior official of the East India Company, he certainly understood what the dispute between the two meant.

"Freeze all of Soest's funds, stop all of his business operations, and deport him back to his country!"

"Apollon, how dare you do this?"

The secretary looked at Apolleon in disbelief. He didn't expect this guy to be so ruthless!
The old man next to him was also hesitant, obviously this measure was too unexpected for him.

"Take him down!"

The old man looked at Apollyon who was staring at him, then he calmed himself down and ordered the soldiers beside him to invite Soest, who had an expression of disbelief, to leave.

"Haha, do you want to rebel..."

Looking at the figure disappearing at the gate, Apollon rubbed his temples hard, then, directly under the old man's gaze, he straightened his clothes and stood up from his seat.

"Apolleon? I don't understand?"

Looking at the puzzled old man, Apollon handed the telegram document on the table directly to him.

"Haha, between the two paths of suppression and sanctions and seeking death, I did not make the wrong choice!"

After saying this, he came to the floor-to-ceiling window of the tall building and looked deeply at the natives of all kinds and the soldiers who were shouting loudly outside.

The old man opened the telegram file and looked at the information on it for a long time, his pupils contracted violently.

"...The Grand Duke of Eternal Night will come to Africa in person?"

……

In the government building in Cairo, Egypt, all the politicians stared at the soldiers rushing into the building in amazement. The guards who were originally guarding the government building not only did not put up any resistance, but they threw their guns to the ground and raised their hands. They actually surrendered.

The soldiers who rushed into the building were wrapped in black uniforms, with no skin exposed. The ink-colored helmets concealed their faces, adding a sense of seriousness to the atmosphere.

They walked silently to an office in the government building unhindered, and kicked the door open under the shocked gaze of the civil servants.

"No, spare me!"

A dark-faced man was picked up by a member of the Eternal Night Team with one hand and pulled out of the office. Everyone looked at each other, raised their hands above their heads, and did not dare to stop him.

The man was taken to the first floor of the administrative hall. He knelt on the ground, staring blankly at the tall figure in front of him.

"Mira! You spread rumors privately, slandered the Evernight Company, and tried to get involved in the Evernight Company's industry. You were corrupt and accepted bribes, and you had no regard for the law. Today, I have received an order from the Grand Duke of Evernight to sentence you. You may plead guilty!"

The low voice was filled with unspeakable oppression. Salah and his entourage, who had just walked downstairs to check the situation, were pale and terrified.

"No, I am innocent. I want to report this to His Excellency the Grand Duke Yongye. Someone is behind all this..."

Looking around, No. 9 did not listen to the statement and explanation of the man in front of him. After giving the verdict, he directly ordered the soldiers to drag the man in front of him out of the administrative building.

Seeing Mira, a member of parliament, being dragged into the truck, everyone trembled in fear. Only when the members of the Eternal Night Team left and disappeared in the endless yellow sand did they dare to breathe deeply.

"Oh my god, the Evernight Company took the congressman away directly!"

"Haha, I've noticed that Cairo has been a little uneasy recently. The civilians are clamoring to expel the Evernight Company. I didn't expect that it was Senator Mira who was behind all this!"

"Mira's group is going to be in trouble now. They never thought that the Evernight Company would personally intervene!"

Looking at the people who were talking about it, Salah's eyes were filled with ecstasy. If Mira was sanctioned by Eternal Night, then he might as well soar into the sky. No matter whether Mira could come back alive or not, the ending was already determined!
