Chapter 650: Mediation (I)
By the time Leonid began to test his subordinates' loyalty, Zhang Cheng had already left New York through teleportation magic and arrived in Los Angeles, the most famous angel city in California on the West Coast.
But he's not here for a tourist, and he's not here to try to have some intimate encounters with those sexy stunners in Hollywood, like many men.
On the contrary, he came here for two important reasons.
First, launch your own private satellite.
As a result of Chester Basham's negotiations and efforts, the most important Western Space and Missile Test Center in the United States finally offered a launch price of $150 million per satellite.
Don't think it's expensive!
In fact, because private launch vehicles were far from being as developed as they were 15 years later, the only countries that had the technology and strength to launch commercial satellites were Russia, Japan, the European Space Agency, India, the United States, and China.
But the problem is that Russia is now in the darkest period, although the technology and rocket industry system is still very intact, but due to the lack of sufficient funds, a lot of equipment is seriously aging, there are all kinds of safety problems, maybe just ignited will be blown up for various reasons, although the fee is cheap, but whether it can be launched to the established orbit depends on luck.
The same is true for India, where three people with no heart and no one with a little brain will choose them to launch an important satellite.
Zhang Cheng didn't want to use the two advanced satellites brought back from the Marvel world, and they were blown up before they could be used.
As for the remaining ones, although there are certain guarantees of technology and security, since North America is under its own sphere of influence, it is better to let the United States do it.
After all, the Western Aerospace and Missile Test Center has promised not to conduct any inspections of the two multifunctional satellites, and there is no concern at all that the technology in it, which is more than 20 years ahead of the world, will be discovered.
Second, Cosmo, the Speaker of the Supreme Council of North America, finally received the long-awaited life-extension potion.
But unfortunately, by the time the bottle of potion reached his hand, it was already nearly a third missing, and it was obvious that someone had intercepted some of it halfway.
So the one hundred and forty-year-old monster finally broke out in an unprecedented rage and began to order his men to frantically search every place along the way, vowing that no matter who the other party was, he would pay the price for his actions, blood and death.
His unscrupulous arrests, interrogations, and killings across the United States undoubtedly violated the interests of several other members of the Supreme Council, led to the intensification of contradictions within the Council, and even broke out into several small-scale conflicts and confrontations.
For a while, many of the inhabitants of the underworld were a little panicked, for fear of breaking out into more intense internal strife.
At the request of a congresswoman with Norse elven blood, Zhang Cheng agreed to mediate between the two sides.
If the mediation is successful, not only will he gain great prestige and thanks from both sides, but he will also gain a lot of substantive things, such as his favorite ancient books and knowledge, as well as interesting magical items......
In short, the identity of this mediator was planned from the beginning, and naturally there was no reason to refuse.
You know, perhaps, for others, it is an almost impossible task to calm the anger in the Speaker's heart.
Because all the councillors knew that Cosmo's life was coming to an end, anyone who tried to sabotage his life extension, even if it was only a third of it, was bound to face the most fierce revenge.
But for Zhang Cheng, who has just evolved the soul of magic, the life-prolonging potion is almost as much as you want, and you only need to make up for a bottle, and all the problems are solved.
In a very relaxed and cheerful mood, he quickly walked to a villa with a black obelisk on Venice Beach, smiled and said to the gargoyle statue standing in the doorway, "Is Speaker Cosmo at home?"
Moment!
The statue's eyes slowly opened, flashing a red light, and replied in a low voice: "Welcome, Mr. Councillor, the master is now in the living room on the first floor." By the way, he has been a little grumpy lately, and from last night to now, two servants and four slaves have been torn apart by terrible magic, you better be a little careful. ”
"Don't worry, I'm here for this. ”
With that, Zhang Cheng ignored this highly intelligent magical creation, walked through the quiet courtyard, and directly pushed the door closed.
Before he could observe the decorations and furnishings around him, he felt a powerful surge of magical energy rushing over him.
No hesitation at all!
He immediately raised his supreme authority disguised as a Western-style cane, and immediately created an anti-magic force field.
When the amazing magical energy flew closer, it was bounced off the spot by the force field and disappeared without a trace.
"Dear Speaker, the way you welcome your guests is truly special. Zhang Cheng pretended to exaggerate and raised his eyebrows and teased.
"Oh-shit! I'm sorry, Zhang, I didn't notice it was you. ”
After seeing the true face of the comer, Cosmo immediately put away his murderous and wanton sharp eyes, replaced them with a look of chagrin, and then sighed and explained: "I believe you should have heard that some lawless guys even dare to steal things that belong to me, and they steal a full third. No doubt they don't want me to live too long so that the Speaker's position can be vacated sooner. ”
The pursuit of power, power, and longevity is the innate desire of every underworld dweller, and you can't kill them all. Ms. Yvonne asked me to mediate, and I hope you will stop continuing to provoke the bottom line of several other MPs, so that it will be good for everyone. I won't let you back down in vain, this is my sincerity......"
As the last word fell, Zhang Cheng straightforwardly took out a bottle of fifteen-year life extension potion that had been prepared long ago from his pocket.
"Huh?!Another bottle?" Cosmo's eyes widened in surprise as he apparently felt the powerful life force emanating from the flask. "Are you sure I'll have an effect after I drink it?"
Zhang Cheng nodded lightly: "Of course, do you think that the life-extending potion I concocted will be the same as those mediocre talents, and can only be taken once in a lifetime? No, my life-extending potion can be taken in unlimited amounts." ”
As he said this, his tone revealed contempt and disdain for the other alchemists.
Due to the limitations of raw materials and formulas, the other two alchemists in the underground world who can make life-prolonging potions have only one medicinal effect.
In other words, each person can only take it once in a lifetime, and the next time they want to take it, they will develop resistance, resulting in the inability of the body to absorb the vital energy.
But Zhang Cheng, who had been to the continent of Azeroth and Faeron, had already broken the restrictions, and as long as the soul was well preserved, even if the body was completely rotten and disappeared, he could resurrect it.
