Chapter 17: Killing

As the car left the old Adrian's refining workshop, Alice, who was sitting in the co-pilot, couldn't help but ask Luke, "Sir, what did you do in the alchemy house of old Adrien?" I didn't see you bring it out, did you forget? ”

"I wanted to see what effect these mystical energies would have when they were mixed together, and I failed." Luke didn't say much, but changed the subject and asked, "What kind of person is Mr. Neil?" What should I pay attention to when meeting him? ”

The car jolted violently at this time, shaking Dale into an exclamation. Luke reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist to prevent her head from hitting the roof. Dale sensitively wanted to break free, but when she saw Alice who had seen her earlier, she had to admit that she had suffered a loss.

Dai Er said: "My dear, no matter what you want to invest in here, you must repair the road here. The higher the value of something, the less it can withstand such bumps. ”

Luke withdrew his hand from holding Dale, "Yes, there needs to be an easy road here. But if you want to build the road, you have to have the cooperation of the people here, otherwise no matter how many building materials we bring in, it will disappear the next day.

That's one of the things I had to talk about when I met with Mr. Neil.

Alice, you keep ......"

"Yes, Mr. Luke. I really envy the relationship between you and your wife......"

Alice behaved very dignified in front of Dale, and she even secretly took off some jewelry to make herself look more ordinary. In her opinion, this Miss Jasmine is not too beautiful except for her outstanding temperament and slender figure...... There are too many eye-catching freckles on the face.

The makeup is brightly colored, which can increase the visual impact and make people look mature and noble, but it lacks affinity and makes the people around you feel pressure unconsciously.

Alice's tone retracted, and she told Luke in detail about Neil.

In fact, Luke's information about Edmund Neil is more detailed.

Edmund Neill controls one of the five mud refineries in the Lower City, which determines that he has a very large influence and influence in the Lower City.

The Azur Refinery is at the heart of all the large-scale feuds in the Lower Town. Around these five refineries, a major conflict erupts almost every few months, and the owners change over the years.

The new boss will take over, and the Refinery Workshop attached to the Refinery will change hands. Large refineries are generally under the purview of the refineries, and the money earned is used to maintain the daily expenses of the entire gang. Smaller workshops will be given to capable leaders, and once the gang encounters a major matter of life and death, it is these guys who can still rely on it.

The elder Adrien is one of Neil's leaders.

Both he and his son were affected by the mysterious energy of the cesspool, and their bodies became extremely strong. Fighting with other gangs, father and son soldiers protect each other and cooperate with each other, making great contributions to Neil's seizure of the refinery.

A refining workshop is a reward for old Adrian.

The elder Adrien was a man of great fortune, and although the income from a refining workshop was not very large, it also gathered a group of loyal servants for him.

And his loyalty was naturally doubted by Neil.

The sewage reservoir is an ecosystem of its own, and while it continues to kill people, it also constantly selects out the strong. Outsiders have no power or ability to threaten the Mudgold Refinery, and the change of owners of the Refinery comes from within.

As Luke met with Neil, the elder Adrien stared motionlessly at the tube of reagents on the table.

The workshop is in a very bad situation right now.

The purchase of new equipment has left no spare funds in his hands, and he even owes a lot of money, but the mining fee will need to be paid immediately.

Old Adrien knew that Neil would never forgive him for the date of payment, and he wished he was bankrupt and justifiably took the workshop back.

Ed on the ground had quieted down, his body becoming extremely strong, and his strong muscles were stretching through his clothes. The skin has a marble-like texture, and the blood vessels bulge one by one.

"What happened?" Ed got up on the ground, the change in his body made him unsteady on his feet, and when he was about to fall, his legs exerted force, and the whole man jumped upward, hitting his head against the iron beam, and then slamming into the shelf.

The heavy objects placed on the shelves smashed into Ed, who fell to the ground, and Ed did not have any injuries on his body except for the frightened wail.

When everything was quiet, Ed stood up very carefully. He looked at the huge change in his body, and easily grabbed an all-steel machine with one hand, and looked at old Adrian with a blank expression: "Uncle, what's wrong with me?" ”

Old Adrien looked at Ed, and after a while said, "Ed, have you learned the potion made by Mr. Luke?" ”

Ed put down the machine and went to the table where the reagents were placed. He stretched out his hand, fearing that he would not be able to control his strength and shatter the potion tube, so he took it back.

"Learned. Mr. Luke explained the process in great detail when making the potion...... Ah, Mr. Luke forgot to take away the prop balloon that captures the mysterious energy. Ed pointed to the five balloons next to the reagent tubes.

Old Adrien had already seen the five prop balloons, and he continued to ask Ed, "Can you also make the first generation of mysterious substance mixtures?" ”

"Is what Mr. Luke made called the first generation of mystical substance mixtures? He put this potion into my heart, and I became like this. I feel empowered all over, I'm as strong as you are, uncle, and I can live longer!

I would like to thank Mr. Luke. ”

Although Ed's body has changed, it is still a teenager's heart. When he realized that it was Luke who gave him the potion that caused him to have a healthy body now, he couldn't hide his excitement and gratitude for Luke.

Old Adrien slapped Ed on the shoulder, but Ed was only slightly shorter, and he didn't look injured, and he didn't even know what kind of strength Old Adrien used.

"Ed!" Old Adrien asked in a heavy tone, "Tell me, if you can make this potion, it's very important!" ”

"Yes!" Ed confidently said, "The process of making the first generation of mysterious substance mixtures is not complicated, and there are several important processes that Mr. Luke instructed me to complete personally.

I am confident that I can make the first generation of mystical substance mixtures.

Uncle, with this potion, we can save many, many people. ”

"It will kill many, many people." Old Adrien patted Ed's face and told him not to get too excited: "Ed, don't tell anyone about the first generation of mysterious material mixtures, and don't let anyone know that you will make this potion.

Including my son. ”

"Yes, uncle, I will listen to you."

After all, Ed grew up in a sewage reservoir in the lower city, and saw a lot of scenes of people sinking into the sewage tank. He knew what skill he had mastered, and he knew that the potion could save many people, and that many more might die from it.

Old Adrien said to the sensible Eddard, "You are very smart. Mr. Luke thinks so highly of you, you will surely be able to accomplish great things that neither my father nor I can do. Now you get used to the changed body first, take your time, and I'll protect you. ”

According to the instructions of the elder Adrian, Ed used the equipment in the alchemy room and maintenance room to come in for strength adaptation training.

Old Adrien found a sponge, rolled up the potion carefully, tied it with a seal, and finally put it into a box with a few needles.

Eddard on the side asked, "Uncle, why did Mr. Luke teach me the recipe and process of the first-generation mystical substance mixture?" I've never met Mr. Luke before, he's a big man from Raging Waves. ”

Ed lost control of his power and shattered a glass bottle.

Old Adrien poured a glass of water for Ed: "I don't know why he chose you, but I know what he wants me to do." ”

Ed carefully took the glass of water and slowly brought it to his mouth: "What did he ask you to do?" ”

"Kill Neil."

"Ahh Neil is our boss. ”

Old Adrien's heart was very entangled: "He knows that Neil is my boss. He taught you how to make the first generation of mysterious substance mixtures, and that is, he forced me to kill Neil. ”

"I don't understand."

Old Adrien sighed and said, "I shouldn't have told you these things, but since you have been involved, you must know what we are facing. ”

Ed listened attentively, and old Adrien continued, "With Mr. Luke comes Alice, a woman who can sell herself for money.

Everyone in Downtown didn't like her, but because of that, everyone was willing to put up with her. Neil would be sure to ask Alice what Mr. Luke was doing here, and Alice would be sure to exchange this information for money. ”

Ed said, "Alice didn't come in, she didn't know about the first generation of mysterious material mixtures. ”

"But how can I explain your change? Besides, if Mr. Luke has done so, he will definitely let Neil know that I have a potion in my hands that will allow me to safely gain supernatural powers. ”

Ed added, "We can give the potion to Mr. Neil, and I can produce the first generation of mystical substance mixtures for Mr. Neil." Mr Neil will definitely give us a lot of money! ”

Old Adrien did not answer immediately, his hand resting on the box containing the potion with an extremely solemn expression. After some time, old Adrien said to Eddard, "Eddard...... Give you and the potion to Neil, and you will get a lot of money and will have a very high status.

But I, and my children, will never be able to get out of the life they are living now. Neil was not a man of mercy, and he refused to lend me money just to take the refinery away.

Before, I had no choice, I could only accept fate, but now it's different. Kill Neil, and my grandson and their children will never have to go back to Downtown. They can live a better life and even ...... You can follow Mr. Luke to Angry Waves and become a big man that everyone respects.

Ed, your father saved my life. He's dead, and I've always seen you as my son.

Now you are also faced with a choice.

It is to follow Neil and live a stable and wealthy life; Or follow me for a long time. ”

"I'll follow you!" Ed replied without any consideration.

Ed's answer made the elder Adrien let go of his last concerns, and he said, "After you get used to your body, go and make the first generation of mysterious material mixtures, and try to make as many as possible." I went and gathered trustworthy men and brought them in for injections.

Neil will definitely send someone to me when he meets Mr. Luke, and we'll do it at that point.

Ed, we have few people, and the odds are not high, so everyone has to contribute. You haven't fought before, and I'll take care of you when it starts, but you have to be careful. ”

Ed grabbed a steel rod: "I understand, uncle. ”

The elder Adrien is determined to kill Neil, and Luke's negotiations with Neil are not going well.

Neil asked for an investment of 450 million Reichsmarks, just to know how much investment Luke had in his hands. Luke certainly wouldn't throw all this money here, after all, there were four other alchemy factories waiting to be discussed.

In a lavishly decorated living room, the fat Neil sits arrogantly on a sofa. A hand full of gold rings held wine glasses, and behind them stood a row of arrogant thugs.

"Mr. Luke! And the beautiful Miss Jasmine......" Nilpi said with a smile: "The greatest wealth in the lower city of Shenglun is the sewage reservoir, and as long as the factories in the imperial capital are still in production, there will be a steady stream of money to be made. It's just that now the money is five points, and it is very little.

If you give me your money, I'll be able to kill the other four. You save yourself the hassle and risk of negotiating with them, and I help you make more money. ”

Luke looked at the time on his pocket watch, looking a little impatient: "Mr. Neil, I don't think that 450 million Reichsmarks can help you unify the sewage bank. And I don't want too many unnecessary fights in the lower town, and business doesn't like a fight-and-kill environment the most.

An investment of 50 million Reichsmarks to upgrade the equipment of your alchemy factory to make the refined alchemy materials purer. If you agree to the investment, I can negotiate a specific investment contract with you tomorrow. ”

Neil, who knew how much money Luke had in his hands, could not look at 50 million Reichsmarks. Malken's small research institute got 50 million from Luke, can I compare with him with such a big factory and so many people?

Neil crushed the wine glass in his hand and said to Luke with a fierce look, "Boy, you should know what this place is. You'd better give me the money I want, otherwise I have a way to get the money. ”

Without waiting for Luke to answer, Dale said in a loud voice, "Who do you think you are?" None of the councillors of the Upper Council of the Mighty Waves would dare speak to my husband like that! I know this is the Lower Town, but did you know that this is Imperial territory?

How many lives do you have? Dare to touch us! ”

Dale took on a more arrogant momentum than Neil and his men.

The thugs tried to step forward for their boss, but Neil waved his hand and blocked them.

The information given by Alice said that this Miss Jasmine had a very large family background and almost became the wife of Viscount Yin Scolan in Angry Waves City.

Who is Viscount Inscoran now?

He is a member of the Upper Council of the Mighty Waves and a close confidant of the Empire's eldest princess.

Now the investment negotiations have just begun, and they are far from the level of offending such a family.

Luke stood up at this time and said, "Negotiation, it is inevitable that there will be a situation where the negotiation will not be possible. We don't have the idea of bullying people with our family background, and we ask Mr. Neil not to threaten us with dishonorable means.

You will definitely not be able to eat this investment of mine.

I suggest that today's negotiations stop here first, and that we both think about it for another night.

My wife and I will come back tomorrow, and we'll talk again.

I believe that after a night of thinking, we will come up with an investment plan that is acceptable to everyone.

Good bye! ”
