Chapter 299: Instant Slash
At this time, in a few words, Li Xiaoyan concisely informed Charles of his thoughts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, after completing the tasks assigned by the system, he could have returned to the present world immediately.
But then Immorton said that the elixir of life made his heart stupid and restless.
As the high priest of the pharaohs, Immorton mastered alchemy, which was a prerequisite for everything. And now, as long as he gathers the best spirit treasures that contain the three attributes of earth, fire, and water, he will be able to refine the legendary elixir of life, and for the sake of today's plan, he will naturally use all means to collect these materials.
Carson Adventures was able to survive the Great Depression and have a good revenue, which means that it has strong strength and strong connections, and can establish itself in the undercurrent New York business community.
Among the expedition companies, there are future-looking space adventure plans that often cost huge sums of money, and there are ancient ships and treasures salvaged in uncharted waters.
Exploration, especially exploring uncharted and mysterious places, is fraught with great risk, but there are also proportional benefits.
This huge project, if it is not supported by strong connections and financial resources, it must not be able to run such a large project, although Immorton has followers and followers to send, but his sphere of influence is only limited to Egypt and the surrounding areas, and if it is extended outside, it will be beyond the scope of the protection of Anubis, the god of death, in order to consider it thoroughly, so he will look for other partners to help him search for these heavenly treasures.
After finishing speaking, Li Xiao stared at Charles, wanting to see how the other party reacted.
"In a word, there's nothing wrong with that." Charles rubbed his palms with bright eyes, and agreed quite readily.
And he didn't wait for Li Xiao's instructions, Charles got up from the sofa, personally brewed a cup of hot coffee for Li Xiao, and hurriedly went to execute: "You sit here for a while now, I will now go and instruct the people below to let them step up the collection of intelligence and information in this regard, and they will notify you as soon as there is news, don't delay your important matter." ”
Charles's cooperation made Li Xiao slightly stunned, even a little unexpected. He nodded indifferently, just looking at Charles's figure leaving in a hurry, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
However, as the saying goes, then it is safe, he sucked lightly with the palm of one hand, and the tray containing the coffee cup was steadily ingested into the palm of his hand, and he sipped it slowly with a complacent expression.
……
……
After returning to his office and locking the door, Charles no longer maintained the fake warmth on his face, and his face instantly became gloomy.
"Hmph, this guy who doesn't know what to do, not only wants to swallow that treasure privately, but also dares to negotiate with me, is it really that my manager is called for nothing!"
Cursing fiercely, Charles returned to his desk, picked up the microphone, and after a few clicks of the dial on it, a call went out.
"Now there's someone in the company making trouble, send me a bunch of people... Also, remember to let them bring the guys! ”
After hanging up the phone, Charles pinched the waist of the bucket with both hands, and let out a smug sneer: "Those treasures of the pharaohs of the past, one and a few, all have to fall into my pocket." ”
And the reason why he made a promise to Li Xiao just now was also to stabilize him for the time being. What attribute materials, what treasures, he didn't listen to them at all, at this time he only had the priceless treasure in his eyes, and the treasure that rivaled the country.
Charles understands that with so much wealth, Li Xiao will not take it with him. But wouldn't he believe that anyone could hold any news if they were held to the head with a gun in their head?
Charles rubbed his hands, and the greed in his eyes was even more incomprehensible. There is a saying that when the profit exceeds 100%, capital dares to trample on any law, although this is a criticism of capitalists, but it is the creed that Charles has always believed. Not to mention, in Charles's opinion, he is just using some necessary means to take back what he deserves.
At the thought of this, Charles was in a good mood, and after arranging his collar, he strode out of the office again, and at this time, his heart could not wait to see the miserable appearance of the man begging for mercy and crying and crying.
……
……
In a short time, a six-cylinder Pontiac car, whistling on the road, stopped in front of the office building where Carson Expedition was located, and a group of tall men in black came out of the open door.
Li Xiao, who was sitting in the reception room, was still slowly sipping coffee slowly. The next moment, I suddenly saw a group of well-trained black-clothed men surrounding Charles, and swarmed into the room, these black-clothed men were taller than ordinary people, and under the bulging black suits, the muscles were strong and distinct, and they all looked extraordinary, among them, there were many soldiers who had retired from the special forces of the Mi Army, and their eyes showed a fierce energy, and many of them were holding guns in their hands, obviously they were prepared.
"How's that, this coffee tastes pretty good, right?" Charles walked out of the crowd with a contemptuous smile on his lips: "As long as you tell me where the treasure is hidden, I can guarantee that you leave here safe and sound, and authentic espresso like this you can drink every day, if you are interested...... Don't try to go against me! ”
Seeing this, Li Xiao couldn't help frowning slightly.
He was still surprised just now, when mentioning cooperation, Charles unexpectedly showed an extremely cheerful expression, and dared to take advantage of that moment to move the rescuers.
However, it seems that this is not the first time they have done something similar to this kind of murder and looting. After all, in this era of the United States, the accumulation of primitive capital is the interweaving and conflict of interests, and under its bright surface, there are a lot of bloody and dirty methods, but I have to say that this time they may have found the wrong person.
Li Xiao not only did not have the slightest fear, but also shook his head and sneered.
"What are you laughing at?!" Charles asked.
"There was a good opportunity for cooperation and development in front of you, but you who seemed to be shrewd but were actually ignorant, but you were not able to grasp this opportunity. In addition, you are dying without knowing it, so you feel sorry for you. Li Xiao said.
"It seems that this yellow-skinned monkey is completely insane, we need to fix it!" Charles snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face, in the case of such a huge disparity in numbers, he really wanted to fight, he didn't know how he died, and he even dared to speak wildly, and then contact what fire and earth attribute materials he was looking for before, Charles even subconsciously thought that on this trip to the City of the Dead, the other party must have encountered something dirty, causing his spirit to become crazy and abnormal.
Charles shook his hand and made a gesture of order.
After receiving Charles's instructions, the current few thugs, with fierce intentions in their eyes, either punched or kicked in bursts of shouting, carrying a fierce wind, rushed towards Li Xiao in one go.
Just as Charles twisted his neck, thinking about what means he would use to interrogate the treasure's hiding place. In the next moment, he was completely shocked by what he saw in front of him!
Before I could see how Li Xiao made a move, those sturdy strong men were like deflated balls in pain, shooting out one after another, some were like a puddle of smashed mud, smashing heavily on the wall, and some were beaten to the point that their bodies were fractured, their chests collapsed, some were lying on the ground whining and wailing, and some were killed on the spot.
In just a few breaths, these thugs were seriously injured, they didn't hurt a single hair of Li Xiao at all, and the most important thing was that Li Xiao was still sitting on the sofa at this time, looking extremely relaxed, as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, a black-clothed thug finally couldn't hold it anymore and raised his pistol to aim at Li Xiao. "Idiot, don't shoot, I'm going to catch him alive!" Hearing the gunshots, Charles reprimanded the man, but it was obviously too late by this time.
I saw sparks burst out of the dark muzzle, and a bullet came out of the chamber and hit Li Xiao.
Charles chuckled in his heart, but when he turned his head and looked at him again, he couldn't help but gasp. I saw that at this time, Li Xiao's index finger and middle finger stood up and made a false pinching action.
And if you take a closer look, you can find that between the two fingers, there is clearly a yellow, steaming warhead, only to see Li Xiao flick his fingers, the bullet quickly turned back along the road, and went straight into the body of the previous thug, blood flowed, and the person's body shook uncontrollably a few times, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
"Bang bang bang!"
Then, the gunshots rang out intensively, and the deloaded bullets swept wildly, but at this time the sofa was already empty, Li Xiao's body moved, and the super fast speed pulled out a series of swift afterimages in this narrow space, so that those gunmen could not catch it.
After the gunfire subsided and the room calmed down again, the Dao Phantom left by Li Xiao in the air finally condensed and stood still again, but at this time, a pistol and a faded bullet appeared on his outstretched palm, and finally between Li Xiao's clenched fists, it turned into fine powder and fluttered away.
At the same time, there were more or less bloody holes in the chests and necks of those gunmen, and they opened their mouths one by one, in disbelief, and finally fell to the ground with a look of shock and pain, and for a time the strong smell of blood suddenly permeated the entire room.
