Chapter 66: Waiting
"Maybe I'm not very knowledgeable about magic," Leon crouched down and stretched out his index finger to pick up the dust from the ground, blowing it into the wind, "but if you destroy it in a very short time before the circle is formed, you should be able to stop it, right?" ”
It's easy to say, the emergency magic circle that Konstantin had already laid out was only activated for less than half a second, and Li Ang stirred up the sea of qi in this moment of lightning, and poured the little remaining spiritual energy into the magic circle with the momentum of a spring.
Konstantin smiled miserably, didn't say anything, just struggled to breathe, and took out the gem containing Rebecca's soul from his pocket, and handed it to Leon in his hand.
"If you knew this was the case, why did you bother in the first place?" Li Ang took the gem with a smile, looked at the other party's miserable appearance, and said indifferently: "It looks like you're going to die...."
Konstantin was silent and turned his hand to take out another new magic gem, and said to Leon bitterly: "I will put my soul in it, it is you who win." ”
"While I've always had a respectful identity with extraordinary people with special skills, I hope you don't have to be cautious this time," Leon said, "and maybe I'll be able to give you freedom after you share all the occult knowledge you know." ”
Constantine wouldn't believe even a single punctuation mark at this kind of words, and lay down as if he had given up on himself, placing the soul stone in front of his forehead, and after a moment, his pupils lost their lustre, just like Jacqueline's.
Li Ang put the soul stone in his hand, and after opening his spiritual sense to check it carefully, he was still not at ease, he reached out and broke each vertebrae of Constantine, and then held the other party's head with his hand, crushing the skull into powder, and the red and white brains flowed out of his nostrils, absolutely hopeless.
He looked at the gloomy skyline, turned to the already frightened Harris family and said, "If the Gotham police come to the door to inquire, do you know what to say?" ”
William Harris squeaked rather dazedly, "Huh? ”
Leon pointed to puddles on the ground, cracks in the walls, and unconscious bodyguards in the backyard pool, "Don't talk about weird things, don't talk about occultists, don't talk about magic battles, in short, don't reveal anything to anyone else, understand?" ”
"Understood, understood." William hurriedly came back to his senses and nodded frantically like garlic, eager to send the plague god away.
Leon carried the bodies of Konstantin and the old black lady, scurried all the way to avoid surveillance and vomited, tied the bodies to masonry and abandoned them in Gotham Harbor, and then returned to the rented motel.
This trip was really fruitful, not only to see the occult circle of the West, but also to capture the souls of the two mages,
If he hadn't deduced it wrong, the soul stone that Constantine took out would not have a long lifespan, and he couldn't rudely use the method in the "Heavenly Demon God Slayer Method" to devour Rebecca and Constantine like killing chickens and eggs, and absorb aura.
If it is converted into a ghost, it will lose its original wisdom, and Leon also plans to wait until the foundation is built and he can perform all kinds of occult immortal methods, first slowly torture it, pry out the mysteries of the magic world, and then imprison the soul to make it serve him.
After all, these two magicians are by no means good, one is old and refined, and taking away the body is like eating and drinking, the other is insidious and cunning, both are vicious and poisonous goods that eat people and do not spit out bones, and Li Ang has no psychological pressure at all to use them.
I have to sigh that his newly appointed private financial planner Robert is worthy of the high weekly salary paid to Li Ang, and the next afternoon he found two car washes and a dry cleaner in the next city.
Over the next few days, Leon completed the formalities with the assistance of his lawyer, Jimmy, and became the owner of the stores, and Robert personally supervised the money laundering process.
As the effects of the hurricane faded, news from the natural disaster surfaced for the citizens of Gotham.
The first is the sudden disappearance of the Sapa family, a huge gang family that has been rampant in Gotham for countless years, killed and injured overnight, and the remaining old and weak women and children even fled back to Italy to avoid their enemies.
The younger brother below is scattered, either absorbed by other gangs, or caught by the long-awaited Gotham police, locked up in prison and imprisoned.
This is only superficial news, and the most important thing is that the Sapa family owns the properties that are waiting to be sold, such as steel mills, wineries, shipyards, hotels, and shares in film and television companies and real estate companies.
Compared with these huge wealth, the banknotes and gold that Li Ang snatched can only be said to be a small thing.
Most of the Sapa family's wealth has been divided among the major forces in Gotham, and the remaining little scum will be thrown into the hands of the middle and lower classes, and everyone believes that if a Sapa family falls, there will definitely be others to fill the void of power.
Of course, other illegal forces have not had a good time recently, and a family of gangsters who are in the sky is almost wiped out, and this kind of bad incident is simply provoking the entire gray area of Gotham, so that the panicked major gangs have to be angry with their enemies.
The Penguin, who is close to semi-retirement, has returned to the mountain, assumed the position of the leader of the gang, and released a tone of voice to find out the villain who committed this shocking crime at all costs.
That's right, according to unreliable urban legend, the Mr. Penguin did really use the term "damn villain" at a gangster party, and no matter what others thought, the rest of the attendees agreed anyway.
The Penguins didn't want the Gotham gang to be scattered again, and in order to consolidate his position as the leader, he even used his political connections to Washington to reduce the efforts of the federal agents who were investigating the murder of the Sapa family.
"These are all Gotham's family affairs, and we don't have to work with the FBI, CIA, or S.H.I.E.L.D. to meddle."
No matter how professional the criminal investigation skills of those S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are, how beautiful their resumes are, and how rich their detective experience are, after the order from Washington, they have to honestly start fishing in troubled waters, watching those private detectives hired by gangsters at a high price steal their jobs.
After all, the United States is still a country where capital is supreme, and Mr. Penguin fully proves this.
The cruel words released by the Gotham gang were not taken to heart by Li Ang, just a group of social scum who bullied the weak and feared the hard, if he had the mind, he could carry out a covert assassination operation and kill all the gang leaders in a day and night.
If it is delayed for a while, when he successfully builds the foundation, opens the stele and cracks the stone, it is easy to tear the tiger and leopard alive, and raise his hands and feet like a giant beast attacking, and even medium and small caliber bullets can be blocked with a body protection air shield.
The most important thing is that after building the foundation, he can refine the mystical magic weapons that can really come in handy, and he doesn't have to use the knives, hand axes, and pistols he bought online from Amazon all the time.
