157: Reach cooperation

Julia, standing to the side, was dumbfounded; she hadn't expected such a turn of events.

She had thought the path through Lyon was a dead end, but now Lyon was actually taking the initiative to help Qin Yun deal with Haishizi.

It seemed having connections really made a difference.

Belgium was the Lyon Family's territory; dealing with an outsider like Haishizi should be no problem.

Julia had been living in fear before, but now the gloom accumulated in her heart was swept away instantly.

The smile on her pretty face couldn't be hidden, and she began to look forward to Qin Yun's gains at this auction.

Qin Yun felt a sense of having survived a disaster.

He hadn't expected that befriending Bruno would play such a crucial role here.

He shook his head and declined Lyon's suggestion.

"There's no need for you to 'deal with' Haishizi. Just warn him not to use underhanded and shameless tactics. I'm not one to be trifled with, either; if he treats me like that, I'll make him pay the price at the auction."

With his safety guaranteed, Qin Yun's heart was now full of confidence.

In the field of Warehouse Auctions, who had he ever been afraid of?

It would be fine if Haishizi knew when to back off, but if he still harbored delusions of gaining anything at the auction, Qin Yun would definitely teach that arrogant fellow a good lesson.

Lyon was stunned for a moment.

He had thought Qin Yun would be someone who couldn't hide his grudges and would definitely ask him to kill Haishizi.

After hearing Qin Yun say this, his estimation of Qin Yun rose significantly.

"Rest assured, with me around, Haishizi certainly won't dare to touch a single hair on your head."

Lyon's attitude toward Qin Yun became much warmer; this man was not only adaptable but also capable and shrewd—a man who could truly get things done.

Moreover, he was very influential among Treasure Hunters in the USA and was even the largest organizer of Warehouse Auctions in Borton City.

Perhaps Qin Yun would become a very good partner for their family.

"With those words, I'm completely at ease. I'll be counting on you for Julia's and my safety."

Qin Yun said very gratefully.

In a war-torn place like Belgium, with the help of the Lyon Family, as long as one didn't do anything to provoke public outrage, there wouldn't be any trouble.

As for Haishizi, he was merely a member of an Arms Group; how could he be a match for a powerful warlord in Belgium?

"It's the least I can do. Could you talk more about the large-scale Warehouse Auctions in Borton City?"

Lyon didn't care about Haishizi at all.

Such low-level arms dealers, at most, supported some weaker warlords; they were nothing compared to his own family.

In fact, if the family just issued a statement, the warlords in Belgium would take the initiative to distance themselves from Haishizi.

What he cared about most now was the matter of cooperation.

In Belgium, where most weapons and ammunition had to be purchased, money was the symbol of strength.

As long as they had money, the family's strength could take another leap forward.

"It's like this: I've held a large-scale Warehouse Auction in Borton City before, featuring dozens of collectibles and three to four hundred warehouses."

"As long as you can get the goods to the Borton City port, I will definitely help you sell them for a high price."

Qin Yun didn't hide anything and explained the plan he had thought of earlier.

Lyon paced back and forth in the room with a solemn expression.

A minute later, he stopped in front of Qin Yun.

"How about this: I'll be responsible for transporting the goods to Borton City, and you'll be responsible for the sales. We'll split the proceeds 80/20, how does that sound?"

Lyon had calculated for a long time before finally making a decision.

Qin Yun's proposal was very feasible, but the most critical and difficult part was the smuggling.

He would have to spend a large amount of money to open up channels and take responsibility for gathering the treasures.

If he gave Qin Yun too much, it would be better to just dispose of them in Belgium.

However, giving Qin Yun only twenty percent felt a bit low, so he sounded somewhat apologetic.

Qin Yun hadn't expected Lyon to be so decisive.

He constantly analyzed in his mind whether this deal was worth doing.

For Contraband, twenty percent was indeed a bit low for a distributor.

However, he was the top organizer of the auctions, and he would get a cut of every transaction made.

Although cooperating with Lyon carried a bit of risk.

The benefits were also immense.

With this batch of excellent collectibles and warehouses, Qin Yun's influence at the auctions would increase significantly.

He might even be able to completely take control of the large-scale Warehouse Auctions in Borton City.

"Alright, then it's a deal!"

Thinking of this, Qin Yun agreed decisively.

"Excellent, I knew you were the right kind of person."

"From now on, you are my good brother. If anything comes up, just give me the word, and I will definitely do my best to help you handle it."

Lyon had been worried that Qin Yun would haggle, which would leave the family with little profit while still bearing very high risks.

That kind of business would be hard to sustain long-term.

Even for the sake of his uncle Bruno, they could only cooperate on a small scale.

That wouldn't be very meaningful for the family.

With the cooperation reached, Qin Yun was also very happy: "To a successful partnership!"

After the two of them raised their red wine glasses and clinked them, they both burst into laughter.

Chatting about various visions for the future, the two of them talked very pleasantly, as if they were partners who had cooperated for many years.

Speaking of the bright prospects for the future, Lyon couldn't help but drink too much.

"I... I'm a bit drunk, so... I'll head out first."

"Adjutant, come... come lead the way for my good brother. Prepare the best room."

Lyon swayed his body and shouted loudly to the Adjutant standing guard at the door.

Qin Yun was also about sixty percent drunk. After bidding Lyon farewell.

Under the lead of the Adjutant, he and Julia arrived at a villa with a courtyard.

Seeing Qin Yun leave, the swaying Lyon instantly recovered his usual shrewdness, his eyes flashing with a sharp light as he murmured to himself.

"Qin Yun is quite decent; he's someone worth befriending."

As someone who grew up in war, how could Lyon get drunk so easily?

Drinking was to test Qin Yun's character, and the result satisfied him greatly... Julia helped Qin Yun sit at the head of the bed and took out pajamas to change him into.

Seeing his sturdy physique, her pretty face turned slightly red, and she quietly felt his muscles a few times.

This was the man she had chosen; he not only possessed unparalleled wisdom in Warehouse Auctions but also had an incredibly strong body.

Three or four ordinary strong men would be no match for Qin Yun.

Being able to meet and be with Qin Yun was the luckiest thing for her.

After drinking, he had been fine at the dinner table, but once he hit the bed, he felt a wave of heat all over his body.

Feeling a pair of cool little hands touching his arms and abdomen, he was somewhat confused.

"Julia, do you have ice on you? Why does it feel so cool and comfortable?"

Looking at Julia, who was busy taking care of him, he felt very grateful and couldn't help but ask as he tilted his head back.

Julia's face turned even redder, her hands nervously fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.

"Where would I get ice? You just touched my phone."

"Honestly, look how drunk you are. Was it really necessary to drink so much with Lyon?"

"I'll go get some water to wash your feet; you should get some rest early."

After Julia finished speaking, she turned and hurried into the bathroom in a bit of a fluster.

Watching Julia's departing figure, Qin Yun felt a sense of domestic happiness.

He and Julia hadn't even talked about marriage, yet why did it feel like they were an old married couple?

"You don't understand; we were building a rapport."

"This is the wisdom of the Xia Country's ancestors; otherwise, if we only talk about interests, the friendship won't go far, and Lyon wouldn't be so concerned about our safety."

Qin Yun explained with a smile.

After Julia finished her tasks, she was pulled into his embrace.

Seeing that Qin Yun was a bit dazed, she didn't struggle and found a comfortable position to lean against him.

Qin Yun fell asleep peacefully and had a good dream.
