Oliver did indeed extend an invitation to Thor to join his crew.

"Help? Our family has plenty of funds that we can provide to you."

Oliver smiled and shook his head.

"I think the two of us could perhaps have a closer working relationship."

Thor is about to take the bait.

"A closer relationship? You mean?" Thor pretended not to know anything.

"Lord Thor, given your status and position, you must be familiar with our family's businesses, right?"

The Oscars family's involvement in the underworld was an open secret among the local nobility.

However, they kept it very secret and never revealed any key information.

"You mean that business your family has been rumored to be involved in?"

Seeing the fish take the bait, Oliver's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, and his hands unconsciously began to tidy up the documents on the table.

"Yes, it's our family business."

Thor frowned immediately, feigning hesitation, lowered his eyes, and remained silent for a long time.

Why is this rich kid pretending to be so reserved?

Seeing Thor's hesitation, Oliver quickly said:

Are you worried about being implicated in the future?

Thor nodded.

[What are you worried about, you're practically dying?]

"It's alright, let me explain."

Oliver wore a kind smile and spoke in an elegant tone.

"As you know, our family's businesses have never been recognized by Her Majesty the Princess."

"However, I think it's just that Her Majesty is too old-fashioned."

"Haven't you noticed all along?"

"Our employees highly value our company's values, and there has never been a leak of confidential information."

I didn't lie to him either; those who wanted to leak information were all killed, and those who remained were the ones who trusted him.

Thor seemed interested.

"In that case, if your businesses are running smoothly, what else can I do?"

"I don't have as much control over the family as my father does, so I probably can't be of much help."

Oliver was secretly delighted.

It's safe!

"No, with your influence, you can still be of help."

Before confirming the collaboration, I won't tell him the specifics, but some hints are still acceptable.

I need to confirm first whether he is truly sincere about cooperating.

"Lord Thor, as far as I know, your family manages quite a few slaves, doesn't it?"

"Some of them are for sale, and some were slaves who earned enough gold coins to redeem themselves, right?"

Thor nodded.

His family was involved in a wide range of trade in the city, including the legal slave trade.

The sources of slaves were generally prisoners of war, refugees, and sub-species without human rights, etc.

Oliver was drawn to the value of these slaves.

These slaves are excellent materials for blood sacrifices.

"Lord Thor, what are your thoughts on these slaves?"

"Opinions? They're all commodities. What opinions can I possibly have about commodities?"

Thor acted out the image the other person wanted to see.

【really......】

Oliver cleared his throat, sat up straight, looked at the other person, and said:

"I need these slaves, but I must confirm their specific use before I tell you."

"Once you know everything that happens here, you are considered our partner."

"Just knowing this is equivalent to joining the group, and then you'll cure my poison?" Thor asked, puzzled.

Oliver crossed his arms in front of him and said in a deep voice:

"So, would you like to know?"

He rubbed his hands together and deliberately lowered his voice.

"Do you want to know the cruel truth?"

Thorton paused.

"In no mood."

【? 】

A genuine question mark appeared above Oliver's head.

Why is that? The emotions have been built up to this level.

Isn't he afraid of being poisoned by the media?

Thor suddenly spoke up:

"Is that the place you're talking about?"

Oliver immediately became alert, and suspicion arose in his heart.

【That place? What does that mean?】

Does he know?

"I don't quite understand. What place are you referring to?" Oliver asked tentatively.

"Do I need to say more? That essential place," Thor replied.

Oliver's Adam's apple bobbed, a strong sense of unease welled up inside him, and his hands, resting on the table, trembled slightly.

Does Thor know everything?

"That's impossible. He couldn't possibly know about the production base. The incident in Xicheng District should have been suppressed by now."

"That place in Xicheng District, have you forgotten it? I went there with your dad before when we had a team building trip."

Didn't he tell you?

Thor's merciless voice rang out, like a death sentence pronounced on Oliver.

Sweat beaded on his forehead.

Did he visit the Harlan slaughterhouse during a team-building activity with my dad?

[That old codger Augustus, didn't he say he'd tell me about everyone he was working with?]

"That two-story building is a hidden gem."

Oliver frowned.

[Is there a hidden world on the second floor?]

I remember the actual work areas at the Harlan slaughterhouse were underground, right?

Thor smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Child, this is not scary."

Why are you so nervous?

"I only went to one of those public bathhouses where you pay someone to accompany you. You don't think I've damaged your father's great image in your heart, do you?"

Oliver was taken aback.

They immediately realized what was happening.

[Damn, so he was talking about a brothel with extra services on the second floor!]

[A bathroom where you pay someone to accompany you – hilarious, what a great name!]

"If you want to buy slaves, you'll need some beautiful slaves to send to these places, right?"

"I already guessed it, you don't need to tell me."

Oliver sighed.

No, we cannot cooperate with them.

This person has intellectual disabilities.

He will get us killed.

[Let's stick to the original plan. We'll send someone to raid his slave market a week from now.]

[It's only been a week, most of the selected offerings should still be there.]

Oliver wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

Let's get rid of him as soon as possible.

"I suddenly realized something: the problem of media poisoning might not be so easy to solve."

"I'll discuss it with my dad when he gets back later."

"it is good."

Thor looked very confident.

"Looking forward to your good news."

Oliver appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was already cursing.

[Damn it, let's see if you have any good news when your slave market gets raided in a few days.]

You just wait, those slaves will be mine sooner or later.

Having obtained all the information he wanted, Thor immediately said goodbye and left the office.

He walked briskly out of the manor along the main road.

"Will they raid my market in seven days...?" he wondered to himself.

This is interesting news.

Although raiding the market is not a big deal.

But now that we know, we can't just ignore it.

Before that, let's deal with the Beast Blood Core.

The blood sacrifices of the Oscars family and the production of the Beast Blood Cores were both carried out in the same area.

Once you know the location of the base, you can easily steal the Beast Blood Core.

His original plan was to inquire about information on the black market. He had his own connections, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to find out information about the base.

However, with the help of the props, he was able to directly find the person and steal their information.

The result was good; the next task objectives are now clear.

Thor can infiltrate Harlan's slaughterhouse with the help of Melodie's power.

The incident occurred just two days later.

The worst-case scenario is that Melotti is used as bait and sacrificed, so that they can get the result they want.

In any case, Thor is confident of success.

At that point, the arrogant Oliver might not be laughing anymore.
