Since there were still a few hours before the meeting time, they went to the hotel Bai Yingxia had booked and had a meal together. For this meal, she booked a private room and learned more about the other party.
"The other party is the boss of the biggest mafia group in Enotria Country. His mother is from Huaxia, which is the reason he agreed to do business with you," James said.
"How about the quality of their goods?" Bai Yingxia asked.
Hearing Bai Yingxia’s question, James smiled.
"His goods are the best in the entire underground world. I heard that he has connections with the government, so if you need something that is only available to the military, you can get it from him. But the price is not low."
"As long as the goods are good, the price does not matter," Bai Yingxia said casually.
When they heard this, the mercenaries tried to guess her background. For someone who could spend money like flowing water, she must not be simple.
They finished their meal and returned to their rooms to rest.
Bai Yingxia was tired, so she took out a glass of spring water and finished it in several gulps. Afterward, she went to take a shower and went to sleep.
At 10 o’clock in the evening, local time, her alarm rang. She woke up groggily and drank another glass of spring water to feel better.
Tonight, she wore a black T-shirt, cargo pants, and a jacket. Underneath, she wore thermal clothes so she wouldn’t feel cold. Before leaving the room, she put on a mask and a baseball cap.
For this trip, she had already exchanged all the money in her bank account into Eagle Land’s currency and stored it in her space during her trip. She could guess that the other party would ask for cash, so she prepared it beforehand.
Since she couldn’t expose her space, this time, she used two suitcases and two large gym bags to store the cash.
When she arrived at the hotel lobby, the mercenaries had already been waiting for her. Without saying a word, they helped her carry the suitcases and bags and left in several cars. In the middle of the trip, a truck joined them.
It took them more than an hour to reach the pier. When they arrived, it was 20 minutes before midnight. They waited for another 10 minutes before several cars arrived.
A group of people wearing black suits came out of the cars. They formed a human barricade, and a man came out of the most luxurious car.
The group flanked him in the center. It was only when they stood 5 meters away from her that the group stepped aside.
The man walked over and scrutinized Bai Yingxia from head to toe. Raising his eyebrows, he said with a faint smile, "Miss Bai, you cover yourself up like this. Are you planning to scam me and afraid that I will find you later?"
Bai Yingxia understood the underlying meaning of his words. She took off her baseball cap and her mask.
With the illumination from the street lamp, the man could see her face clearly. Surprise and amazement flashed in his eyes when he saw her.
After she found out that the spring water was safe and could improve her body’s constitution, Bai Yingxia drank at least 2 glasses daily.
The spring water not only improved her body, but it also made her already beautiful face even more beautiful and her body more curvaceous. While others might be happy with it, she was scared. Being too beautiful in the apocalypse was not a good thing.
After a long silence, the man finally let out a chuckle. "Miss Bai is so beautiful that I lost my composure. I apologize for my rudeness." This time, his tone softened, and he no longer stared at her like a cold-blooded serpent.
Bai Yingxia waved her hand and said, "No worries."
Seeing that he had no intention of bringing up their business deal, she said, "Mr. Rizzo, I don’t have time to waste. Since both parties are here, let’s go into the business."
Ettore Rizzo smiled and kept his gaze on her while he gestured to his men. "Bring it over."
His men nodded and went to fetch the goods. After a while, they returned with more than 10 boxes made of metal. They opened the boxes and showed the goods inside.
Bai Yingxia glanced at James. Receiving her signal, he and several of his men went to check the goods. After a while, he nodded at her.
Since the goods were delivered, it was time for her to pay. She asked James to get her suitcases and gym bags. When he opened them, they were filled with cash.
This time, it was Ettore Rizzo’s turn to check the money. When they were sure that the money was real, they closed the suitcases and zipped up the bags.
Taking a few steps closer, Ettore Rizzo said, "Miss Bai, since we have finished talking about business, how about having dinner with me tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Bai Yingxia’s heart sank. She clenched her trembling fists in her pockets but showed nothing on her face. She met his gaze directly and replied calmly, "I appreciate your invitation, Mr. Rizzo. But I already have plans for tomorrow night."
Ettore Rizzo let out a sigh and muttered softly, "It’s a pity. But we still have a long time ahead of us." After a moment of pause, he added, "Miss Bai, I hope you won’t turn down my invitation next time."
Bai Yingxia didn’t reply to his words and left with her bodyguards after they loaded the goods into a truck.
Standing on the pier, Ettore Rizzo licked his lips as he watched their cars leave.
Noticing his interest in the woman, one of his close confidants asked, "Boss, should we keep an eye on her or invite her to your place?"
"No need. When I finish with the business here, I will visit her personally."
With these words, he boarded his car and left the pier.
