Chapter 365: The Funeral (Part II)
"Congratulations, you're one of us from today. Although in my eyes, you have long been a competitor and potential ally in the true sense of the word. Kane complimented by touching his meticulously trimmed beard on his chin.
He wasn't at all surprised that the young wizard in front of him could become a lord.
After all, the number of alchemists is so scarce that even a fledgling apprentice will receive some special care, let alone a master who can supply different kinds of magic potions in large quantities.
Age has never been an obstacle to the path to power in the underworld.
On the contrary, young guys with great potential often mean that they have extraordinary talent and a bright mind, and instead of being suppressed, they will be more inclined to resources.
Especially those ancient families that have been inherited for hundreds or even thousands of years, often through marriage every once in a while, absorb some fresh blood into the family to ensure that they are always in the upper reaches of the food chain, or even the top.
There is no doubt that Zhang Cheng is undoubtedly such a focus of attention from various forces standing in the spotlight at the moment.
Perhaps outsiders don't know why the lord qualifications, which were originally cumbersome and need to be assessed layer by layer, would give results so quickly, but Kane, who has many "eyeliner", knows that behind it must be those guys who claim to have ancient identities and noble bloodlines.
Because he was one of them when he was young, if it weren't for the plot of Catherine, the witch of desire, he would have married a woman with a prominent background and gave birth to a bunch of talented offspring.
But unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world, and the only thing he can do at present is to take revenge and use his remaining life and strength to let the enemy taste pain and death.
Staring at the deep eyes of the old man in front of him, Zhang Cheng suddenly smiled without warning, and teased while laughing, "Should I be honored by this?"
"No, it's me who should be honored. Kane replied with a pun.
In his complex revenge plan, the other party is a crucial link.
"yes, then I'm looking forward to your next performance. By the way, I've got you done with the first meeting. Yes, this is a sample, a little I will send the price along with the materials needed. With that, Zhang Cheng took out a small bottle of crystal clear grit without any impurities from his pocket.
"Oh, so soon?" Kane said with undisguised surprise on his face, and hurriedly took the bottle and poured it into his palm.
Moment!
A feeling that I can't describe in words came to my heart!
I saw that he carefully injected a part of the energy into the medium through his skin, and soon these tiny particles of five-color transparency floated up, forming strange supernatural phenomena such as flames, ice cubes, flowing water, stones, and small tornadoes.
It took thirty seconds for these anomalies to subside.
Kane himself froze in place for about two or three minutes as if he had been succumbed to an evil spirit, and then exclaimed in an unbelievable tone, "So pure!
"No, dear Lord Kane, I have recreated a new medium. Remember, from today onwards, I am the only alchemist in the entire New York area, and at the same time an unquestionable authority. ”
After saying this meaningful sentence, Zhang Cheng didn't look back and left these lords who didn't know what they were discussing, and he wasn't even interested in asking the other party's name.
Ever since the parchment gave him the content of the trial, he immediately understood one thing, his relationship with all the lords of Brooklyn was hostile, unstoppable, and there could be no such thing as an ally.
In fact, when he returned from the world of Azeroth, he was secretly planning a massacre to kill everyone who entered the world of the Shard, whether it was a human, an angel, a demon, or some other special species, to ensure that his hole cards would not be leaked.
"Congratulations, my lord. ”
Polman, who had no idea how much intrigue was hidden after the whole thing, bent down, his eyes showing excitement and excitement that could not be concealed, and he even changed his name.
Just as Zhang Cheng was about to say something, there was a sudden commotion in the auditorium.
I saw three men and one woman, surrounded by more than a dozen entourage, slowly walking in from the main entrance, and wherever they passed, the crowds on both sides would take the initiative to give way to a passage.
Polman, apparently well aware that his allegiance was to an important person who did not know much about the New York underworld, quickly lowered his voice and introduced, "The old man in the blue suit is Councilor Quentin, who is the ruler of Manhattan, and the pale-looking Councilor Brenda, who is rumored to be a quarter of vampire blood and is the ruler of the Bronx." The lady in a tight black dress and a top hat is Councillor Venus, who rules the richest of the boroughs of Queens. As for the guy who followed behind, it must be the envoy from Europe......"
"I see. By the way, what about Staten Island? I think the New York Council seems to have five jurisdictions. Zhang Cheng looked at these "big shots" in the underground world and asked without looking back.
"I'm sorry, sir. Councillor Adelaid on Staten Island is a mysterious, and he stopped asking about anything about it for about a decade. Some thought he was missing, others thought he was dead, but the parliament seemed to know the inside story and never announced his death. Polman's tone was full of uncertainty, and it is estimated that even he himself did not know the specific situation of the parliamentarian.
However, considering that he was originally just a humble "cleaner", it was not easy to know so much.
Zhang Cheng didn't make it too difficult for his subordinates, let alone continue to ask anything, he went to the bench by himself, ready to see if the other party had any important news to announce.
Unfortunately, before these guys could reach the podium, Catherine, the witch of desire, came to the side quietly, put her right hand wearing black lace gloves into the inner pocket of his suit, stuffed a note into it, and whispered in her ear, "Dear Zhang, how about it, my prediction was correct, right? Be careful, the guys in the council don't have any good intentions, and only an alliance with me is the right choice." ”
"Don't worry, ma'am, let's hear from the Councillors and the Special Envoy. Don't forget, you've done a lot of small things against me in private. Zhang Cheng responded quietly, then took out the note in his pocket and glanced at it, curling the corners of his mouth to show a playful expression.
Because the content inside is nothing else, it is about the location of the entrance to the Shard World......
