Chapter Twenty-Three: The Tough Texas Police

A few days later, Chen Ze and Marcuri arrived at St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas.

"Mr. Chen, the experimental instruments you ordered have arrived, are you going to move them now?"

After Chen Ze and Ma Curry came, a staff member who had already contacted them took them to a warehouse, pointed to the instruments in the warehouse that were sealed with dust cloths, and inquired.

"Yes, we came in a big truck, and we should be able to get all the instruments away. ”

Chen Ze nodded, then pointed to the boxes and asked, "Can I take a look at these instruments first?"

"Of course, you can check it carefully, and if there is any damage, we can return it for you. The staff member, who looked to be in his thirties, responded with a smile.

Chen Ze nodded and smiled, walked to the sealed and dust-proof instruments, uncovered the dust-proof cloth, opened the protective cotton wool in the box, and took a closer look.

St. Edward's University, a higher education and experimental institution located in Austin, the capital of Texas, was contacted by Chen Ze a few days ago from an intermediary and asked them to order a large batch of experimental equipment.

Of course, he also gave a lot of labor fees to the agent and St. Edward's University.

Chen Ze now in front of these dozens of large boxes in front of him is the first batch of experimental equipment delivered, yesterday just received a message from St. Edward's University, today he immediately bought a large truck and rushed over.

Uncovering the dust cloths on the boxes, Chen Ze carefully looked at whether the instruments inside were damaged.

These things can be used whether they are equipped with potions for knight cultivation or some other things, although a large part of Chen Ze's purpose in building the manor in the ranch is for more hidden wizard cultivation, there is no shortage of these experimental instruments, or ......

For the sake of realizing some of his experimental ideas.

After inspecting all the instruments and finding no damage, Chen Ze called in some porters and asked them to carry the boxes to the truck compartment in the university parking lot.

It had taken nearly a morning to get from the ranch to Austin, Chen Ze had a meal with Marcurry at noon, and two hours had passed by the porters to carry all the experimental equipment to the truck.

After communicating with the staff member and parking the truck at the school temporarily, Chen Ze and Marcuri drove another pickup truck to another place.

As early as when he returned to the ranch, Chen Ze had purchased out the magic stones in the hands of several crystal dealers in Dallas, and it would take a long time for their next batch of supplies to arrive.

So after their introduction, Chen Ze contacted several dealers in Austin and picked up the goods from them today.

After coming to Texas, Chen Ze did not buy magic stones as directly and recklessly as in China, but bought a part of the crystal and magic stones together to avoid attracting attention.

found those dealers one by one, and Chen Ze was no exception this time, each paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy hundreds of kilograms of crystals and magic stones from their warehouses.

By the time I left the last crystal dealer, it was getting dark, and it was seven o'clock in the evening.

"Marcuri, find a restaurant, we'll stay overnight in Austin after dinner and come back tomorrow morning. ”

On the co-pilot, Chen Ze looked at the time and instructed Marcuri: "By the way, when you go to the restaurant later, remember to call the staff of St. Edward's University just now, and say that we may not be able to go back tonight, and we have to leave the truck there overnight." ”

"Okay. Marcuri nodded and drove straight into the city.

Taking into account Chen Ze's taste, Marcuri found a local Chinese restaurant in Austin.

Parking the car in the underground parking lot, the two came to the restaurant and ordered a few dishes casually, and the meals were served dozens of minutes later, perhaps to cater to the tastes and habits of the Americans.

After a few hasty bites, Chen Ze put down his chopsticks, and waited for Marcuri to solve all the meals, and then the two left the restaurant to go to the parking lot to pick up the car.

There was a short way to the parking lot, and there was still a roadway to pass through halfway, but just as Chen Ze and Marcuri walked into the laneway, the two suddenly stopped.

I saw three or four black people leaning on the entrance of the alleyway suddenly walking towards him together, these black young people were wearing colorful hip-hop T-shirts, earrings, nose rings, and they knew at a glance that they were a group of thugs.

"Gangsters?"

Chen Ze had no expression on his face, and muttered in a low voice: "Sure enough, it is indispensable everywhere." ”

After muttering, Chen Ze turned his head to look at Marcuri, who immediately nodded his head consciously, and did not turn his head and run like ordinary people, but walked straight towards them.

The black thugs were visibly surprised to see Marcuri walking towards them, but they didn't stop, but quickly ran over and surrounded Marcuri.

One of the negroes, with a Swiss Army knife in his hand, looked Marcuri up and down, and shouted, "Money, do you understand? ”

"Are you sure?" said Marcuri with a smile on his lips.

"What nonsense, hurry up and get the money out. ”

The black man yelled at Marcuri again, then looked at Chen Ze not far away, and motioned to a companion beside him, "You go and get all the money on him." ”

"Wait......"

Marcuri's face instantly became serious, and he immediately stretched out his arm and threw the black man who was about to walk towards Chen Ze to the ground.

"Shet, damn old fellow, you still dare to do it. ”

"Bang!"

The black young man spat and took the knife directly to the Makuri bucket, but the sudden sound of a gunshot made all his movements suddenly freeze.

Everyone looked in the direction where the gunshots came from, and Chen Ze was no exception, only to see a middle-aged patrol officer in a black police uniform holding a pistol running from the mouth of the alley to the middle of the group of black thugs and Marcuri.

The middle-aged policeman stared at the black youth with the knife, holding the gun tightly in his hand, as if he would shoot immediately if they made a move.

After a while, he turned his head sideways and whispered to Marcuri, "Stand back, be careful." ”

Marcuri was a little stunned, he was just about to practice with a few thugs, who would have thought that this policeman would suddenly shoot out.

However, thinking that he would save himself trouble, he took a few steps back to Chen Ze's side.

The two of them stood not far away, only to hear the middle-aged policeman scolding the black gangsters a few words in a harsh voice, and kicked them a few times in the middle, and they all ran away in a panic from the other side of the alleyway.

"You weren't hurt by those bastards, were you?"

Seeing them running away, the middle-aged white policeman turned around and came to Chen Ze and Ma Ku and asked.

"Nope. ”

Marcuri shook his head and smiled, "It's good that you arrived just in time, otherwise these would have stabbed me with knives." ”

"These mongrels are just restless. ”

The middle-aged policeman put the gun back in the pouch, scolded, and said to the two with a straight face: "You should be careful in the future, this time I just caught up, and you may not have such good luck next time." ”

"Although the security in Austin is not bad, these puppies will still come out from time to time to do things, and in the future, at night, you better not go into this dark alley with one or two people. ”

Marcuri and Chen Ze didn't want to say anything, so they had to nod their heads again and again.

"Alright, it's time for me to go on patrol. ”

The middle-aged policeman gave a few more instructions, then waved his hand and turned to leave, and Chen Ze and Makuri immediately came to the parking lot and drove to find a hotel to live in.
