Chapter 1230: Fierce Fight! Master & Apprentice 52 (Medium)
January 1, 2218
Whoosh
Just after 0:00, the bells are still echoing around the city, and bunches of brilliant fireworks begin to rise into the air one after another.
The city was completely immersed in a sea of jubilation, except that many areas of the middle and lower classes in the south were dark, and most of the people could only temporarily live in some areas in the west and east.
The city has not been so jubilant for many years, and the shops on the streets are lined with a large number of goods, and all kinds of shops are carrying out big promotions.
The light and shadow store is full of beautifully designed and well-made items, and many citizens in most areas of the middle and lower floors of the west and east have been connected to the light and shadow material interface, and it takes more than 500 to install a set, but it is much more cost-effective than buying light and shadow material storage converters of different models and sizes.
However, the current situation is that the construction team of Angus Construction is busy building underground works in the east and west, and many users who want to install light and shadow material access entrances in their homes can only wait in line.
Many construction companies are currently crowded under the big cake of the real estate market and coating materials, and even if the Angus family subcontracts the installation of the light and shadow material interface, no one wants to do it, because the profit is too low and the technical content is relatively high.
In less than nine months, the city has fully recovered, and the residents who used to live near the factory area have moved back in large numbers, and they can no longer smell the pungent metal smell wafting through the air.
There is not even a trace of smell inside the factory, and all the harmful particles have been directly stripped by the particle waste separation machine to the waste disposal bin at the bottom in the material processing process.
Logistics along the entire eastern and western lines has also become very fast, and in the past, logistics vehicles were often required to travel back and forth for logistics, but now most of the goods arrive at the regional transit stations very quickly.
It's just that some small traders still use the mountain workers to carry out the transportation of some goods, because the cost of logistics is a bit high, and they want to install a direct logistics pipeline under their own stores, which requires 10,000 yuan per 1 meter, and 50 yuan for 1 ton of goods, but they also need to pay a logistics pipeline maintenance fee according to the number of uses, ranging from 20 to tens of thousands of yuan.
Therefore, most small merchants prefer to hand over a few tons of goods to the mutant mountain workers, up to 100 yuan at a time, and now that the subways in the east and west have been opened, the main needs to spend a small amount of money to deliver it quickly.
At this time, in the banquet hall of a mid-rise hotel, the atmosphere was particularly solemn, which was completely different from the jubilant atmosphere outside the hotel, with middle-aged people sitting on the table and watching everything on the light and shadow screen.
"What do you think?"
Violet stood in front of the stage in the banquet hall, and the businessmen below were all shareholders who bought a large number of shares of the Angus family after the listing of the Angus family, and all of them together accounted for 50% of the stock market.
The most difficult stage has passed, and now with the development of the city, taxes have begun to gradually increase, the Angus family wants to let the shareholders delist, the share of the family stock back, so many shareholders have been offered good conditions, some people have signed contracts, but only a small number of shares are negligible, most of them have begun to leave, but there are still more than half of the people, do not agree to withdraw from the Angus stock market, but continue to invest money.
Violit had already sensed something unusual, as if the guys were colluding and were not going to accept the Angus family's exit conditions.
"Mrs. Angus, I think it is very rare for us to be able to contribute to the construction of the city, so our company does not accept such an exit agreement, sorry!"
A middle-aged man got up, bowed, and then glanced at many people next to him, more and more people got up and began to leave the venue, Avano wanted to stop it for a while, but was stopped by Violetra, she shook her head at Alpha.
The continuous blessing will make the volume of the construction project become larger and larger, and the bubble has now accumulated in large quantities with the recovery of the city's industry, and once the bubble bursts, it will be more harmful to the whole city.
Many merchants have decided to bite the Angus family to the death, refusing to let go, and will not let go when they cannot tear off a large piece of meat.
Violet has seen this, and even some businessmen have lost money on this holding, and they are still investing, which should be supported by a huge amount of money, once their family can't bear it, the situation will become extremely critical.
Soon all the people in the venue left, Avano sat on the chair weakly, and now he was still thinking about whether to sell the Angus family's plantation land to the Hillman family, Eddie has offered a price of 5 billion, which is already a very high price, and the Angus family's plantation is only about 300 million a year.
After the last slave raid, the Angus family suffered an unprecedented impact, as the largest family in the family, it was criticized by the whole city, and the condemnation was very huge.
This is because the people believe in Alpha and believe that she will not favor anyone, even their own family, and the Angus family has paid a large amount of compensation and punishment, which is very bad for the Angus family, which is already in debt due to the huge cost of construction.
Although the funds for the construction have been paid by the Congress for the time being, the reality is that because of the listing of the Angus family, a larger economy has been created, and the whole family is still in debt.
"Sell it!"
Violet spoke suddenly, and Avano was a little surprised, and she sat down with a smile and grabbed her husband's hand.
"It's okay, we still have a lot of land on the estate, and if we leave some of it for planting, we can still supply the entire Angus family every year."
Avano nodded, took out the phone, and quickly dialed Eddie's number.
"Mr. Eddie, I have already decided, I will sell our Angus family's plantation to you, and you can come and sign the contract tomorrow!"
"I'm sorry Mr. Avano, I just want to help you, I'm really sorry, our family is also in some trouble at the moment! I only hope that our two families will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, and there will be no suspicion because of this problem, and we will be responsible for the food supply of your Angus family in the future! ”
Avano was a little surprised, and Eddie laughed heartily.
"I'm really sorry Mr. Avano, I believe that the Angus family will get better and better in the future!"
After ending the call, Violet pressed her head with one hand, the bodyguards had already entered, and the butler was still waiting.
"Do you want to go see your daughter?"
Avano said, and Violet shook her head.
"No need, just go home!"
At this time, Micah looked a little embarrassed, she lowered her head, and did not know what to say for a while.
"Isn't it something wrong with Nia?"
Micah glanced at the head man and the head maid next to him, and the two of them also looked embarrassed.
"It's such a lady, I didn't expect the banquet to end so early, just now the second lady wanted to go to see the eldest lady, and it was relatively close here, so ........"
"Alright, let's go home!"
Avano smiled helplessly, almost Alpha should ask the people in the department to send Nia back, they are not worried, because Alpha is the elder sister.
0:39 a.m
Nia was lying on the edge of the table, the glass of hot milk in front of her had bottomed out, she covered her gurgling stomach, and looked at Alpha, who was still working with a cigarette in her mouth, it had been almost 1 hour.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Alpha didn't answer, as if she hadn't heard, Nia couldn't sit still, turned and ran to the door, tore open the door, still didn't attract Alpha's attention, she just went out and saw a large line of councillors sitting in the corridor outside, smoking or drinking, all resting.
"Nia, why can't you sit still?"
A drunken female councillor smiled and dragged Niya to her, and took a few sips of wine at her, Niya pinched her nose and looked at the crowd of people who didn't have a job, and she laughed out loud.
"It must be that you don't work weekdays, so my sister has to work so late every day."
For a while, many people laughed, and Jill sighed.
"It's not like that, there are so many things that we have been in this period of time, and even eating and sleeping are a luxury."
"When will my sister be good, she promised to accompany me shopping."
Many people bluntly said that Nia had to wait, because Alpha was still dealing with the problem of criminals within the 3 sections, and it wasn't until last month that Osman finally came up with a detailed list of cases for Alpha, and Alpha has been dealing with the filing every day for the past few days, and these things have to be submitted to the General Affairs Section.
What happened on April 1 last year, in the end, Alpha still did it, and a large number of small workshops that did not meet the qualifications were shut down, especially those involved in the case, everyone was arrested, the youngest was 9 years old, the oldest was 87 years old, and no one escaped.
5 subjects have now become a beautiful scenery of the city, this year's examination of the subject has more than 7,000 people, much less than last year, alpha to 30% of the places, and the application is in order, from 1 subject needs how many people to fill up will automatically jump to the next subject, if the number of applicants is insufficient in the specified time, it will jump to the next subject, and finally if there is no candidate who fills in the examination subject, it will be unified to fill in the lack of people in the department.
3, 4, 5, 11 and 12 are the least popular subjects, and 1, 6, 7, and 9 are the subjects that most people want to go to.
As for the 2 subjects and 10 subjects, they are very difficult to enter, and this year there are even hundreds of people who have filled in 13 subjects, and everyone thinks that the miscellaneous subjects should be quite idle, but the number of people in demand for 13 subjects is still 0, and these candidates are all assigned to 5 subjects.
This year, the examiner in charge of the examination of the behavioral subject was drawn in 5 subjects, and many people know that they are tired again.
Nowadays, among the members of the 120 districts, there is a general problem of failing the physical fitness test every month, most of them neglect to exercise, and if the physical fitness is not qualified, they will be deducted part of the welfare of the month, and there are already many people who are miserable, especially the people in the 5th section, most of the ordinary staff have to patrol every day, and they must also exercise, which makes many people feel very uncomfortable and tormented.
But complaining is complaining, and the staff can only do it head-on, because the relationship between the superiors and subordinates of the department is very strict.
And because some of the regional officers were involved in the criminal riot on April 1, all 39 regional officers were dismissed from their posts and directly arrested and sentenced.
Click
Just when everyone was teasing that this year was another year without a day off, Alpha came out, and at this time Nia was sitting next to Jill, looking at the content on the light and shadow screen, her eyes were stunned, and she looked extremely incredible.
"Really?"
"It's still cooked!"
Jill laughed, and Niya couldn't believe it at this time, in front of him was the personnel information of Li Ang, who was serving his sentence in the dormitory of 12 minor offenders, whether his daily work was passed, whether he was serving his sentence well, and whether he was in good health, and his physical health data were all available.
"How do you show it to others?"
Alpha questioned, and Jill said, tilting her head.
"She's your sister, Chief Ye."
Nia continued to look at it in disbelief, and soon she looked through the crime record, which did not have Leon's name on it, only an X in its place, because Leon was still a minor, so his name was not released.
"Could you be mistaken?"
Jill shook her head.
"Economic crimes are also very serious, and the person who supervised this case is Li Xin, the secretary of Section 8."
Nia thought of it instantly.
"Isn't that guy Leon's brother? How could you send Leon to prison, he was only 12 years old when he went in. ”
Nia couldn't imagine what kind of life Leon was living in prison.
"Don't you want to sneak over, I'll tell you."
As he spoke, Alpha grabbed Nia and left, and Jill sighed helplessly.
"Have fun, Nia, Alpha, too."
Alpha snorted.
"Rest early, everyone, and I'm going to the General Affairs Section for a meeting tomorrow."
After a while, Alpha took Nia all the way to the gate of the 5 Branch Headquarters, and Nia looked at the 5 Branch members who came all the way and kept bowing and saluting Alpha, and always felt that her sister was very majestic.
"Sister, do you scold them on weekdays?"
Alpha smiled and looked at Nia, and with a burst of light, a small door opened next to the door of the 5th Branch.
"Do you think that Niya, if you do something wrong, you will definitely be scolded, haven't you experienced it since you were a child?"
Nia pouted and shook her head.
"I don't think I've done anything wrong, Mom keeps talking about me, so are you going to beat them?"
Alpha shook his head helplessly.
"It would be much easier if you could solve the problem by beating someone."
Nia clenched her fists and raised them.
"That's what I do with my fists."
All the way by, at this time Nia noticed the joyful and respectful eyes around her, on the brightly lit streets, all the way by, there will always be people who take the initiative to give way to Alpha, standing aside with respect, watching Alpha leave.
Niya sighed, thinking back to the situation when she first entered school, everyone only saw her sister, and it was still the same, but Niya didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but felt proud, because it was very commendable to have such a sister who could be a role model for the whole city.
Now some of the words that people in the family have about Nia have gradually disappeared, because it is useless to say anything, Alpha is too good, so good that Niya can't touch it.
At this time, Alpha saw two drunken clerks on the side of the street, talking and laughing with a little girl who was a clerk at a kebab shop, still holding wine in their hands.
"You two ......."
Before Alpha finished speaking, the faces of the two staff members changed suddenly in an instant, and the wine in their hands with their heads lowered also fell to the ground, but they were dragged by Alpha's use of telekinesis.
"It's okay to drink, but don't get drunk, please finish your duties well tonight, and your uniforms, please tidy up."
Niya was a little surprised, her sister didn't reprimand them, looking at the panicked appearance of the two, Niya smiled and wanted to come over, but was dragged away by Alpha by the back collar.
"Section 5 seems to be really boring, I have to patrol the streets every day, and I'm bored to death."
Alpha said with a smile.
"Social security doesn't get better in a day, if you are a criminal and you see 5 sections of people patrolling the streets at any time, will you commit a crime?"
Nia thought for a moment and shook her head.
"I'm going to do it when no one is looking."
Seeing his sister's answer, Alpha took Nia to a family called Rose. Outside Dolby's dessert shop, Niya was a little surprised at this time, because the dessert shop was on the second floor, and there was a corridor on the periphery, all of which were women.
At this time, with a scream, Niya saw a guy come out with some desserts, and the women around him rushed over, looking at this short man who was neither male nor female and kissed some women, Niya felt a wave of nausea.
"Is she male or female?"
Alpha laughed and walked inside.
"Rose, bring me a strawberry sundae, my sister ......."
Rose smiled and leaned in front of Nia, but Nya pressed a hand on Rose's arm.
"You've got a pretty pattern, get one for me?"
Rose said with a smile.
"Okay, little sister."
Alpha was already pestered by a large number of women who wanted to take a photo at this time.
"Just kidding, your sister will beat you up, if it's a tattoo."
Nia walked in and followed Rose to the bar.
"How's the sweetheart roll? You should be hungry right now. ”
"How do you know?"
Rose smiled and turned to the back kitchen door.
"I know everything, little sister."
Rose entered the back kitchen and didn't start making desserts right away, but stared at Nia through the gap in the back kitchen curtain.
"The quality is good, is it really Alpha's sister, the flexibility of the body is better than Alpha."
After more than ten minutes, Nia covered her nose and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious sweetheart roll."
Rose smiled, lit a cigarette, and handed the alpha one to the bar.
"Aren't you going to teach your sister?"
Alpha shook his head.
"Don't mess with Rose, she'll be a cute little princess in the future, I think you guys won't go too far? Leave everything to Mr. Jean to do. ”
Rose looked at Alpha in surprise.
"What are you talking about Alpha, I'm just an ordinary dessert shop owner."
Looking at the strawberry sundae in front of him, Alpha took a bite, licked his lips, and stretched out his thumb, whether the thing is delicious or not, in fact, it is the density difference of various materials in the food and the harmony of Billy, Rose happens to have the ability to control the atoms of all matter, and the things made are really delicious.
"Don't be too tired alpha, take a good rest."
Alpha shook his head.
"Mr. Jean is still working, and I won't rest."
Rose sighed, looked at Nia, who had already eaten a mouth full of sauce, and raised a hand, Nya watched in disbelief as the sauce on her cheek magically peeled off her cheek, gathered together, and swirled in the air to change its colorful appearance.
"Miss Open Mouth, don't waste the last bite of food."
Nia opened her mouth and nodded in surprise as she ate it, giving her a thumbs up again.
"What was that?"
"Magic!"
Nia pouted immediately.
"You are an old lady, I am a child, obviously a mutant, can you teach me?"
Rose was a little surprised, and Alpha slapped Nya on the back of the head.
"You can't learn with the density of your head, and ah, Alpha, don't fight, if you shoot your sister's head, she will really be hopeless!"
Alpha smiled helplessly.
"Boss, I want to eat barbecue, can you get me some?"
Rose gestured upstairs.
"Go upstairs, and I'll do something for you."
Nia excitedly went upstairs.
"If only you had half of your sister's alpha, it feels like you're getting harder and harder."
"Don't worry about it!"
1 a.m. sharp
Eddie sat quietly in his office, a melodious symphony playing, Eddie comfortably holding a glass of wine, he expected that the Angus family would sell the plantation, firstly to relieve the financial pressure, and then to relieve the plantation of land that was currently abandoned due to the relatively small number of workers.
The plan was still ongoing, and Eddie knew that it wouldn't be long before he could fully take over everything from the Angus family.
The area around the Aratan-Ula Mountains has become a stronghold, a paradise for criminals.
And the children in the family are also thriving, much better than the rest of Eddie's generation, because Eddie has worked out the way each child is raised through Prometheus, and they have a variety of talents, which makes Eddie feel very gratified.
Crime is temporarily hindered, but this will not affect Eddie's overall plan, premeditated commercial annexation, is in accordance with the rules of the market, no one can interfere, Eddie's large number of crimes, now has successfully allowed him to control a lot of things in his hands, those things that have to fall to his family because of crime, are perfectly connected.
The merchants were still waiting for a signal, and if Eddie gave the order, the merchants would attack him en masse, and the Angus family would be eaten to the point that there would be no bones left.
The economic famine over the years has made many businessmen become bloodthirsty monsters, even if the association can do anything, after this economic famine, the businessmen only want to continue to make money, make more money, and be able to ensure that when this happens, they will not die.
Because of this construction project, many small and medium-sized enterprises have closed down, and because Alpha's crime investigation and handling is too tough, those fragile small workshops are now almost dead, which is a great benefit for businessmen.
And because the problem of the family slave trade was boycotted by the whole city, the merchants began to gradually replace the family in some commercial activities, and there was a clear rise trend.
Among them, Eddie must also thank the eight classmates, who are also the presidents of the eight associations in the city, they continue to help the merchants to fight against the family, their original intention is very clear, because the family has created too many problems over the years, and there is immunity, so it is the right thing to do to curb the family financially, so as to reduce the probability of the family causing accidents, this is the right way.
"It's really hard for you guys."
Eddie couldn't help but recall that when he went to Pullman's wedding before, he had drunk with himself for the first time, and accepted his blessing very sincerely, and Eddie felt really happy when he thought of it, because everyone was helping the Hillman family.
At this time, with the sound of a sizzling electric current, a snowflake screen appeared, and a large amount of noise filled the room.
"How's it going? Mr. X. ”
In the flickering screen, X stared at Eddie with a pair of red eyes.
"Everything is fine Eddie, I'm still saying that, it's too dangerous."
Eddie laughed, then shook his head.
"As long as we have light nuclear weapons, what do you think the gods will do?"
X mumbled and nodded.
"That's good, after all, you've already taken something from AI1, the current simulation experiment of Prometheus's light nuclear weapon has reached 19%, and the experiment can be carried out at 70%, and Mr. X, I hope you can hand over more detailed mechanical technology as soon as possible, after all, our biochemical transformation mutants are the main force in the future."
The call ended, Eddie stood up and walked to the window, he thought a little about Ran Zhi, but Ran Zhi is now living well in prison, Eddie knows this, and when Ran Zhi comes out, Eddie plans to discuss the next step with him.
"The future is not in the hands of God, nor in the hands of families, nor in the hands of merchants, nor in the hands of ordinary people like pigs, but in my hands!"
Eddie held up a glass with a crazy look in his eyes and drank it all.
