Chapter 215: Brown's First Battle
Meet Harris and listen to what he has to say. Brown wondered how the Scarab Company could let such an iron-hearted guy manage the Marseille blackmail branch, and in a completely unclear situation, he didn't even think about what kind of person he was facing for the sake of beauty, and directly started to rob people.
Didn't you see that we came up through the portal? This is a spell and skill that can only be mastered by a 13th-order magician.
Even if you don't see the portal, you should see that there aren't any flying machines around, and that there are only two of us who dare to come up...... Isn't there a need to think about the balance of power? Don't you think I'm the fiancΓ© of Marseille's daughter blackmailing the governor?
Although Brown knew that his engagement to Miss Anne was nothing more than a cover for his identity, it was something that all of Saroyan knew, and was talked about by the townspeople.
This Harris is really a guy who does things completely recklessly, or rather does things without thinking.
However, Harris's position does not require any brains on his part. The Scarab Company's sales network in Marcellus has been rolled out, and it has the magical potential to activate potions to open the way, and it doesn't require too much business acumen on the part of the manager. On the contrary, the Scarab Company needs to be a powerful and strong man to sit in Saroyang to block the peeps of all forces on the Scarab Company.
Although Harris barely obtained the strength equivalent to the 13th order during the body enhancement experiment, his brain also suffered irreversible damage.
The Scarab Company put Harris in Salo Young, and they didn't expect him to do a good job here. Harris is obedient, strong, and has a bad head. Therefore...... In the competition of many forces, Salo Yang does not need to worry about Harris's ambitions. He will not secretly participate in the fight and do things that are detrimental to the interests of the company.
As for some of Harris's reckless behavior, it will make the people who beat the idea of the Scarab Company dare not provoke him easily.
The Scarab Company did not want to take sides too early before the outcome of the Marcellus problem would affect their business in the province and the empire. As for some outrageous things that Harris does, the head office can use the privilege to protect him, and bear it for him if he can. If you really poke the uncontrollable basket, you can also put all the blame on Harris's IQ.
Even if Harris Bull B kills Marseille to blackmail the governor, at most he will kill him to make amends, and it will not have much impact on the Scarab Company......
Therefore, the monopoly and the privileges that make the Scarab Company more worried about the encroachment of the company's interests by insiders, and the presidents of those expatriate branches are obedient and powerful guys like Harris, and the operation of the branch is another system, which is personally supervised by the head office.
In short, Harris's position in the Scarab Company is not a senior manager, but a senior thug who takes care of the company's assets, and is used to show force.
Brown was previously just an ordinary professor of magic, who knew Harris's identity but not his status at the Scarab Company. He thinks that the president of a branch should be a person who uses communication tactfully, but he didn't expect that the other party would kill someone if he didn't agree.
Before Brown could figure out the situation, gunshots rang out.
Three alchemy revolvers fired at Brown at the same time. Tongues of fire erupted, and the bullet had already hit Brown's head.
Harris's subordinates are not as simple-minded as their bosses, although they didn't see the process of Brown and Hannah coming out of the portal, but they knew that the other party could break through the outer defense circle of the airship and stand directly on the grass outside the villa, and they definitely had strong strength.
Therefore, as soon as Harris gave the order, the guards attacked. And even though Harris ordered to throw the man off the airship, they shot Brown in the head at the same time. They thought that since Brown was the vice president of a magic academy, he should be the strongest of the two. As for the other maid in a maid's outfit......
Gather fire and kill one first, and then catch it.
The well-trained guards left Brown completely defenseless, and when the bullets were about to shoot him in the head, he still had in mind "how can the president of this Scarab branch be so reckless?" β
Then just hear when! While! While!
A kitchen knife flew in front of his forehead, accurately blocking three deadly bullets for him.
Gunfire resumed...... At the same time, the magic wand in the guard's hand emitted a dazzling flash, making Brown, who was just about to take out the magic wand, feel that his eyes were white and he couldn't see anything.
Blinded.
Brown never imagined that he would one day be faced with such a high-end fight. He also used to practice shooting, practicing magic and gun combination tactics. But when the battle suddenly appeared in front of him, he realized that he didn't know what he was supposed to do now.
And he heard the sound of gunfire in front of him...... Bang bang bang.
And then there's the tinkling sound around me.
Gale was howling around him, scorching air currents brushed his face, and thunderbolts exploded nearby.
What should I do now?
Brown struggled to think about what he should do in the face of such a fight...... I can't see it, but I can't just stand and be beaten.
Move to dodge and find cover?
No, no, no, you should let your eyes see first, otherwise you don't know which direction to hide if you want to.
Brown uses the exorcism technique to remove his blindness spell and prepares to fight back...... But at this moment, the gunfire suddenly stopped, the magic also stopped, and there was silence above the entire airship.
Don't fight...... Yes, they've shot the bullets out of the gun. Brown knew that an alchemical revolver like this generally only had six bullets.
"Hey!" Brown said angrily to the guards and Harris who shot him, "Do you know that you have violated the laws of Marcellus Province by attacking me? Now that the air force of the Blue Corps has surrounded you, drop your guns and magic wands at once.
I will make a formal reprimand to Scarab Inc. and file an indictment against your crimes! β
The sudden sound of gunfire over the Scarab Company's airship attracted the approach of the Silver Wings of the Blue Corps around them. When they saw that there were no casualties, they immediately reported the situation to their superiors, and then forwarded it to the Marquis of Whitehead.
"What? Brown was on Harris's airship, when did they get up? β
"We didn't find any flying machines approaching Harris's airship, and it's unclear how they got on board. At present, the two sides have experienced the first battle, and there are no casualties. β
"Interesting...... Keep your distance and keep observing. β
"But Mr. Jennings is up there, are we going to rescue him?"
"No, feel free to report me what's going on above."
"Yes! Governor. β
