The next morning, the two arrived at St. Edward's University and drove back to the ranch in a car.

Back at the ranch, Chen Ze disassembled and arranged the experimental instruments one by one on the experimental table in the basement, and eliminated the crystals that had no magic power and put away all the magic stones.

But after doing this, he didn't practice as a wizard as usual, nor did he prepare to use instruments to carry out experiments, but stood alone in the basement as if thinking about something.

"It cost 10.3 million yuan to buy this ranch, and then to build the manor and prepare the furniture, as well as to buy magic stones and experimental equipment, which together cost more than 20 million, and now I have very little money left. ”

Chen Ze thought about it in his heart, and then took out his mobile phone to check the account balance.

"Is there only more than four million left...... Chen Ze frowned slightly.

Magic stone resources can be said to be the foundation of Chen Ze's current wizarding path to continuous promotion, except for knowing that some natural crystals are magic stones, he has not found anything on the earth with magic power for more than half a year since he came to the United States.

So, that's the only resource.

Originally, Chen Ze also planned to buy a crystal vein directly, but after inquiring about the price, he immediately dispelled this idea.

In desperation, he could only choose to buy from those crystal dealers, and during this time, he had spent more than four million dollars to buy magic stones, and now he ...... The funds on hand are running out.

Although the magic stones that have been extracted will turn into ordinary crystals again, Chen Ze can still collect a sum of money by selling these crystals, but as his demand for magic stones grows bigger and bigger, this is just a drop in the bucket.

So, he had to find a way to get a lot of resources, or money.

After a moment, he suddenly thought of the black gangsters from last night, and muttered to himself, "Maybe this is a temporary solution." ”

Stealing this inefficient way Chen Ze quickly skipped without thinking about it, and this way of opening a store and opening a company will undoubtedly consume his energy and time, and he may not be able to collect a large amount of money in a short time, his real idea is......

Can you secretly control a rich merchant who owns a crystal mine, or those black gangs who wander in the gray area to get a lot of magic stones?

Chen Ze immediately searched the Internet for which crystal veins in Texas and whose names these veins were.

It's just that after reading the information of the owners of those large crystal mines, Chen Ze couldn't help frowning again, because these people are all well-known wealthy businessmen in Texas.

Chen Ze's mind is very clear, he will not take it for granted that he can control these people without revealing the slightest trace.

"It's hard to ......"

Quickly vetoing this plan, Chen Ze stood up, he knew that he seemed to have only one other choice.

............

Evening, Austin city suburb......

A car stopped in front of a villa, and a strong white man with a red face in the back seat got out of the car and swayed towards the villa gate, burping from time to time as if he had drunk too much.

When he came to the door of the villa, the white man turned to look at the driver in the car, waved his hand to signal him to leave, and then took out the key to open the door.

"Shet, those bastards......"

After slamming the door shut, the white man took off his shoes and socks, held on to the staircase railing and walked barefoot upstairs, shaking his head and scolding as he walked, "They are all herds of livestock, one by one, as if they can't die of drinking......

Before he could finish his words, a breath ......of alcohol erupted from his stomach.

Shaking his head, the white man came upstairs, opened the door and walked in.

Taking off his shirt and pants and throwing them on the ground, the strong man was about to go directly to bed and fall down, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned around and found something in his pants and put it on the bedside table......

There was a slight reflection in the faint light, it was a pistol.

The strong man sat on the edge of the bed and stretched, lay directly on his back on the bed, moved his body and was about to sleep, but at this moment......

"Ivan Stilwell. A voice shouting his name suddenly came to his ears.

"Who?"

Ivan Stilwell, a strong white man, opened his eyes suddenly, quickly rolled over and got up to look at the source of the sound.

Seeing a dark figure standing in the shadow of the room with half curtains drawn, Ivan Stilwell's eyes froze, the alcohol instantly dissipated, and he hurriedly reached out to get the gun on the bedside......

"Uh...... Ah......h

But before he could reach for his hand, the man standing in the shadows suddenly came up to him and grabbed him by the throat.

Ivan Stilwell only felt that the hand was like a steel cast, clenched tightly around his throat and could hardly breathe, and under the reverse flow of blood, his whole face was a little redder than before, even almost purple.

His eyes bulged out, and his hands pounded hard against his throat-grabbing arm but he lost his strength until Ivan Stilwell felt like he was about to suffocate......

The man who had choked him by the throat suddenly reached his eyes, his clasped palms loosening slightly.

"Ah......h

But before Ivan Stilwell, who had just caught his breath, could react, he hissed because of the eyes of the man in front of him.

His eyes were filled with horror, and the eyes of the man in front of him were terrifying, and their sockets were full of burning green flames, which seemed to be about to spread to him.

However, before his screams could be sustained, he felt a violent impact in his mind, and he passed out directly.

............

"Hoo ......"

The next morning, Ivan gasped and leaned back on the head of the bed with a frightened expression.

"What the hell is going on?"

What happened last night was etched in his mind, and he still remembered it vividly, and Ivan knew that it would never be a dream, because it would not be so real.

After getting out of bed, Ivan came to the bathroom mirror, and the purple marks on his neck seemed to alert him at all times.

"What the hell is that?"

Ivan clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly, the ghost thing he didn't know if it was a person or something last night made him terrified until now, the arms like steel, and the eyes that burned with dark green flames, and ......

Utter powerlessness to resist despair.

His body trembled violently, Ivan didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurriedly put on his clothes and fled from the villa.

That day and for the next three days, Ivan did not dare to set foot here again, but asked his men to find another place to stay temporarily.

Ivan hadn't slept well all night, and even when he went to bed, he was neatly dressed and his gun was always in his hand, but fortunately he didn't see that ghost thing again for a few days.

But on the evening of the fifth day, just as he had just relaxed a little and returned to his new residence......

"Ivan Stilwell. ”

An eerie voice chanting his name suddenly came from him when he was unprepared, and the monster with a dark green flame burning in its eye socket appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Ivan just wanted to pull out his gun, but found that the gun on his waist had already turned into a puddle of black liquid.

In fright, he only felt a sharp pain suddenly coming from his body, and his body collapsed to the ground involuntarily.

"Ivan Stilwell, let's make a deal......"

The monster wrapped in a black robe with a faint green flame in its eyes came from the face of the black hole and a strange buzzing sound, but at this time, Ivan no longer had the strength to open his mouth to speak, and his trembling body sweated like rain.

"And the reward for the transaction ......"

The monster or person in the black robe suddenly reached out and covered his forehead with his palm, and Ivan only felt an inexplicable suction coming, and he could no longer feel the existence of his body.

The calm dark green flame suddenly boiled again, and the voice of the black-robed man sounded again:

"It's your soul!"
