Chapter 1625


    “Thank you all the same, Commander Richard. Without you, the Wagner family would have given me


    so many issues,” Joe said with great sincerity.


    Hezti waved his hand and said, “Don’t thank me. You’re Dorodo city defense army’s weapons business


    partner after all. I’m helping the city defense army by helping you.”


    Hezti’s words melted Joe’s heart.


    The formermanders-in-chief of Dorodo city defense army also met Joe frequently, which was

    inevitable because of their business dealings. However, the formermanders-in-chief of the city


    defense army had always acted like they were above him.


    Hezti was different.


    He was also amander-in-chief. Besides that, Hezti was Dragon Kingdom’s youngest nine-star


    Joe.


    Joe could not help but feel ttered and grateful!


    “Commander Richard, this is a token of my appreciation. Please ept it…” Joe took a thick envelope


    out of his arms and handed it to Hezti with both hands once he finished speaking.


    Hezti took the envelope, opened it, and saw it was full of money.


    The average person would have been dazzled and even dizzy from seeing the red Dragon Dor cash


    notes, but Hezti’s expression remained unchanged.


    “This is 100,000 Dragon dors. Although it’s not much, it’s a token of appreciation from me…”


    Hezti shoved the thick envelope back into Joe’s hand before Joe could finish speaking.


    “That’s inappropriate, Mr. Townsend. What kind of person would I be if I took your money? Don’t ever


    send me anything like that again. If you really want to thank me, do more for Dorodo’s city defense


    army. Try your best to improve the weapons.”


    Hearing Hezti say this, Joe blushed and took the money back.


    “Dragon Kingdom is lucky to have a high-ranking military officer like you!” Joe said in awe.


    He was not only saying it. He did feel that way.


    When he used to work with Dorodo’s city defense army, he used to send money to the then-


    The city defense army’smanders-in-chief epted all these gifts and even repeatedly hinted that


    Joe had given too little. Joe offered to give Hezti gifts, but Hezti refused.


    It showed the difference between Hezti and the formermanders-in-chief of the city defense army!


    After some hesitation, Joe continued saying, “In that case, pleasee to my house for a meal


    tomorrow evening, Commander Richard. Please don’t refuse, or I’ll be in an ufortable position!”


    Since Joe had already said so, Hezti did not reject him and said yes.


    “Well, I do have time tomorrow night, so I’ll bother you then,” Hezti said with a smile.


    They finished chatting, and the two men soon got down to business.


    “I’m adamant about not wanting to deal with you two. Not only will I not buy Morine’s stronghold giant


    crossbows, but I also won’t buy your stronghold giant crossbows,” Hezti said to Joe with a straight face.


    Private matters were private, and business was business.


    The stronghold giant crossbow was a weapon involving Dorodo’s defense. It was not just business. It


    was also a big deal, so Hezti’s face turned serious.
