Half an hour later, in a high-end restaurant near the building, Zhang Cheng was methodically enjoying the original Chinese food without any modifications.

You must know that since he came to this magical earth, which is both familiar and unfamiliar, he has not eaten a decent meal, and sometimes in order to save time for all kinds of complex magical research, he even uses fast food and takeout as the only source of food.

Today is a rare opportunity to relax, and naturally I will not treat my tongue that is about to forget what is really delicious.

As for Polman, who had just arrived from Brooklyn, he sat patiently and waited, without the slightest intention of disturbing the host's meal.

In this way, more than ten minutes passed, and when Zhang Cheng drank the last bowl of soup with a satisfied face, he picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, raised his head and stared at his subordinates, until the other party was a little restless before he spoke, "When you arranged your identity, you didn't say that my titular mother is an out-and-out strong woman, and her desire for career success surpasses everything." ”

"Uh- I'm sorry, my lord, I don't understand what you mean. After all, you are a powerful wizard, she is just an ordinary woman, and I can dispose of her at any time if you give her a command. Polman replied cautiously.

"No, you don't understand. Her presence is very important to me, so you can't dispose of her, let alone modify her memories casually, otherwise it may affect my future plans. Forget it, you won't understand it even if you explain it. Now tell me, what are you going to do about this little trouble?"

With that, Zhang Cheng handed the waitress the credit card and two 20-face bills, of which the credit card was used to settle the bill, and the banknote was a tip.

According to the customary rules of the service industry in Europe and the United States, customers should usually pay an additional service charge of 5 to 15 percent more than the price of the meal, which is also known as the tip, and it is also part of the main source of income for those engaged in the service industry.

Although he himself does not think it is a good habit to force consumers to pay extra fees in a way that borders on moral kidnapping, he does not intend to be too maverick in such a way that the general environment is such that he does not intend to be too maverick.

As the waitress walked towards the cash register with a happy face on her tip, Polman took a deep breath and said tentatively with uncertainty, "It depends on what you mean." Although the council has made it clear that no magical items are allowed to fall into the hands of ordinary people, and the lord of the region must be responsible for recovering them once they are discovered, herbs are clearly not in this category. ”

"So I can now choose to help this titular mother become the upstart of New York's high society, or I can choose to keep her where she is?" Zhang Cheng touched his chin, a playful smile appeared on his face.

Polman nodded earnestly, "Yes, but I have to warn you, if this plant, called the Tranquility Flower, is really what you described, it will probably be targeted by some people in the underworld." Maybe they don't dare to snatch it from you blatantly, but it's normal to use a few small tricks. ”

"Hehe, sounds interesting. I was wondering how I could get more material for my experiments, and you gave me a good suggestion. I'm sure the council won't interfere with what I do with those daring fools, won't it? Remember, it's important to keep production firmly within 10 tonnes per year. Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment and quickly made a bold decision.

If it weren't for the unscrupulous arrests and crazy experiments that easily cause public anger, he would have turned the New York underground world upside down, tying the capable people to the operating table and disemboweling them.

Anyway, ten tons of Ningshen flowers a year only need to consume about one-thirtieth of the output, which is very small for him who has learned to extract energy.

"As you wish! Rest assured, I'll take care of everything and won't make a mistake. Polman stood up, bowed respectfully, and then got up and left the restaurant.

As a complete egoist, he doesn't care how many unlucky people will become guinea pigs of this terrible young wizard in front of him because of the temptation in the future, and he doesn't care what kind of terrible torture the captured guy will suffer, as long as his life and his family's lives are not threatened, even if the entire New York underworld is stained red with blood.

Anyway, in his eyes, the underground world pursues the law of the jungle, where the strong dominate everything, and the weak can only prostrate in front of the strong and beg for the protection and mercy of the other party.

Polman has been on his knees for more than twenty years since his ability to awaken, and now he hopes to be able to stand up and become a great man under one man and above ten thousand, even if it comes at the cost of losing the last shred of conscience and embracing the darkness completely......

After snatching his credit card from the waitress, Mr. Zhang left the restaurant and walked aimlessly along Manhattan's bustling business center.

But before he could think about what to do next, a black car suddenly stopped next to it, followed by a familiar figure stepping out of the car.

"Good morning, Mr. Zhang, my host would like to see you soon. Lauren Coney, who had met at the funeral, lowered his voice and offered the invitation.

Judging from his emotionless eyes, the so-called invitation is just a nice word, and if he dares to refuse, then it is a forced invitation.

"Is it His Excellency Congressman Lavern?" asked Zhang Cheng with interest.

"Yes, please hurry up and get in the car, don't waste time, in another hour, the host will board the plane and leave New York for Europe." Lauren Kony urged impatiently.

"Got it. Zhang Cheng nodded lightly and got into the back seat without thinking.

Because he also wants to see how powerful this old guy who stands at the pinnacle of power in North America is, and how far he is from the other party.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation, Rena, for driving. ”

Lauren Coney gestured to the female driver in the cab, and soon the car was moving down the road.

In about 20 minutes, the group of three arrived at the VIP lounge at JFK Airport.

I saw an old man with gray hair and a short beard on his chin sitting on a sofa, fiddling with a metal Rubik's cube in his hand.

Unlike most Rubik's cubes, this one is not painted in any color, instead the lattice is carved with bizarre mysterious symbols on the surface, and some of the symbols flash faintly whenever the cube is turned.

Zhang Cheng, who has always been very sensitive to magic, lit up slightly, and immediately took two steps forward and said to the old man, "Your Excellency, Honorable Councillor, can you please show me that Rubik's Cube?"

"Hehe, of course, this gadget was originally intended to be a gift for you......"
