Chapter 6821
Even as night descended upon central Morocco, the lights were still up in every phosphate mine.No one was stopping to ensure efficiency, with every mining equipment still running at full capacity, the drills tunneling frantically through the white phosphate layers.Duca Mines was no exception.However, only the Qing Eliminating Society's armed cavalry guards and their families were working above ground. They did not want the dead soldiers and their families scouting their surroundings, and so, they never let them above ground in a conscious state.As such, the dead soldiers usually lived and trained underground, only sent out covertly by the armed cavalry guards when they were on a mission.And at the moment, none of the cavalry guards across the entire mining area was taking a break. In addition to the mines and the refinery, there were hundreds of others continuing the construction of the towering steel towers in various parts of the mines.By now, most of the towers were comp

Once everything was explained in no uncertain terms, the owner did as instructed and asked the workers to cease operations temporarily.All the processed canned food was moved to the warehouse once it left the industrial steamer, which would, in turn, be the food supply for the dead soldiers who would soon be moved there.The owner also quickly suspended purchases from local marine produce suppliers, citing issues with their production line that would halt operations for the immediate future. It wouldn't arouse suspicion either, as many other food processing plants would temporarily suspend operations over a variety of reasons, and they were also located in a remote area that was economically underdeveloped.With the deal sealed, the owner happily drove home, a few hundred grand richer thanks to Merlin.At this point on, without any workers staying behind, Merlin basically had full control over the food processing plant.He quickly divided and categorized the plant floor into t

Merlin definitely worked fast—once the agreement was reached, he paid the owner of the food processing plant twenty grand up front just to sweeten the deal before asking the Acker family's agent in Africa to prepare the remaining cash.Cash was the best solution, too, as they didn't want to leave a trail, so a wire transfer was a no-go.Still, it was not hard for the Ackers to prepare 200 grand USD out of the blue, but the difficult part was yet to come.Not only did they have to send a team bringing tons of food and daily necessities to the food processing plant with some daily necessities, but they also needed a factory-wide security upgrade for the food processing plant to ensure nothing went amiss.Just to be sure, Charlie told Porter Waldron to send his best men, entering Morocco from Algeria, and await his orders at Duca Mines. With their mobility, they could put on a decent disguise and still only need a few hours to travel from Lebanon to Algeria, so they would reach Duca M

Moreover, the local workers at the food processing plant worked all year round except when they were sick.Even annual leaves weren't paid, and if they went on leave for too long, the owner would fire them outright.Now, they were being afforded paid leave where they were free to stay home, and the only thing they had to do was keep their mouths shut about the food processing plant being upgraded.With that being all they had to do for this treat, they would most likely comply.It would only cost a few dozen thousand dollars a month to convert them to their most loyal allies—not only would they fulfill what was asked of them without question, but their lips would also be sealed as long as they wanted, making the cost all the more worthwhile.Moreover, Merlin had every intention to bail on the owner—that was why he had agreed to return ownership of the factory and only asked for 100 grand USD back.After all, once Charlie had moved all the people out of that dead soldier base, the

Merlin's insight left the owner shocked, but he soon nodded in understanding. "I won't lie, sir—I have never even thought about all the things you've just said. It seems that I am very much lacking as a businessman, only knowing how to keep afloat what I have instead of showing vision and helping it grow and succeed."Merlin shrugged. "Well, in this case, you just have to stick to the plan—once we sign the agreement, you can send your workers home. Be sure to tell them that they are on paid leave, that they will be paid half in the next few months, and the remaining half will be given when they come back to work. In addition, they must maintain secrecy and most definitely not work elsewhere, or we will ask them to return our money or ask for further compensation."The owner nodded repeatedly. "No problem, sir! I will make sure that they take this very seriously—they all respect me enough and won't break regulations on purpose, anyway."Pausing, he then asked Merlin, "By the way, you

Seeing that the owner of the food processing plant was eager about the offer, Merlin decided to press the advantage, and he continued, "Why don't we put this in black and white? And I'll pay you half right away—that's 200 grand USD."The formal procedures can wait. All I need is for you to keep the workers in line and clear the place out while I finish the upgrades. The remaining 200 grand will come within two months."Pausing, Merlin then added, "And like I said, there's no need to rush the formalities—the food processing plant will stay under your ownership, so you won't have to worry about me defaulting."The other party thought about it, and he decided that Merlin was speaking sense.As long as the food processing plant didn't change hands, he didn't even have to bear any risks and could pocket 200,000 USD for free.If anything, it was probably impossible to have any other potential buyer provide the full payment up front, and it was far more ideal with an investor like Merlin
