Chapter 18: Killing Neil (2-in-1)

After Luke came out of Neil's Alchemy Factory, he terminated his trip to other alchemy factories on the grounds that he was in a bad mood. When I got home, the door was closed, and there were no visitors.

Let the situation in the lower city ferment on its own.

Alice said goodbye to Luke and returned to her bar, which was already full of people from all sides who wanted to buy information.

Alice had never been happier in the past two days. Although Mr. Luke does not pay much, he buys very good drinks at his bar. There is also exclusive information about Mr. Luke, which is information that all the forces in the lower city have to obtain at great expense.

The details of Luke's negotiations with Neil today are soon on the table of the elders of the parties.

Neil's desire to monopolize the 450 million Reichsmarks has sparked the wrath of all the bosses who are waiting for a share of the money. After Mr. Luke refuses, Neil's threats make him a loser.

At the same time, Luke's investment of 50 million Reichsmarks also handed over its own bottom line to the other four alchemy factories. All that's left is to compete with each other, taking more for themselves and less for their opponents.

It's just that Neil has undoubtedly gotten a top spot in this competition. Even if he couldn't get all the investment money, as long as he got 100 million from Mr. Luke, the rest of the money would grow less than Neil even if the four of them were divided equally.

What's more, Neil is so greedy that he will definitely not be satisfied with 100 million.

A meeting between Luke and Neil suddenly makes the situation in the lower town tense. Especially in the area of the sewage reservoir, all parties have gathered manpower to prepare for the fight that may break out at any time.

Neil could certainly sense the sudden increase in tension in the area of the sewer.

As the first alchemy factory to negotiate with Luke, he also has a lot of pressure. If he can't get enough money from Luke, his competitors may want more.

Once the investment of 50 million is decided, it is equivalent to pronouncing oneself to death.

The sky-high asking price, landing to pay back. Neil set himself a small goal of 100 million and strive to get 200 million.

During the negotiations, he must keep his fundamentals and ensure that the negotiations can proceed smoothly.

Neil rallied his men to concentrate on the alchemy factory, and also learned about it from Alice...... What Luke did when he traveled to Old Adrian.

Visit the cesspool and the refining workshop of Old Adrian.

Regardless of the danger, he sailed into the sewage reservoir and collected five different colors of mysterious energy from the water.

Using the alchemy house of old Adrian, he carried out an alchemy of the mysterious energy collected.

As for the results......

Alice said: Mr. Luke refused to allow anyone else to enter, and it was only him, old Adrian, and a repairman in the alchemy room. After coming out, Mr. Luke did not bring out the alchemy results, but said that it had failed.

Did it really fail?

Neil sat on the couch, glass in glass, thinking, analyzing the information he had gathered.

Mr. Luke has always said that the lower town is a treasure and that he has come here to invest in developing this treasure.

If this treasure is known, will it still be his turn to develop it?

Neil owns a smelter in the sewer and knows what the value of the current output of the sewer is. Extracting alchemical materials from the sewage reservoir is an extremely labor-intensive, energy-intensive and equipment-intensive task. Even if Luke smashes all the 450 million in his hands on the upgrade of the alchemy factory's equipment, it is impossible to get an expected benefit in a short period of time.

Besides, he must know that when his people get the money, it is impossible for them to spend all the money on upgrading the equipment of the alchemy factory.

Looking at Luke's anomalous actions today, it is highly likely that the treasure he is talking about means something else. If the mysterious energy in the sewage reservoir can make money, then this untapped treasure should have its own share.

As for what Mr. Luke has made out of the mysterious energy in the cesspool, just call old Adrien and ask him.

After receiving Neil's summons, the elder Adrien took his son, hired laborers, and more than 30 people from Ed into the heavily guarded alchemy factory.

As the elite who built this alchemy factory for Neil in the first place, the old Adrian's gang is not comparable to ordinary gangs in terms of body and momentum.

The weaker ones don't even have the courage to look at them.

In the chamber of the alchemy factory, the leaders of the gang sat around the conference table. Their respective personal thugs stood behind them, and the black pressure was very imposing.

These are the people who are Neil's foothold in the Downtown Sewer.

Neil loves the atmosphere, strong and murderous. See Luke tomorrow and give him such a treat, let him know that Angry Waves is Angry Waves City, and Downtown is Downtown.

We are all outlaws!

We're in a hurry, we dare to do anything......

At the same time, Neil also made the elder Adrien recognize his status. What Luke left with you, what do you want to do if you don't hand it over?

In the conference hall, the leaders all put on a powerful posture and looked at the others with cigarettes in their mouths. They all knew what Neil had gathered these people for, and they had secretly bought information from Alice.

Mr. Luke from Raging Waves wants to invest 500 million Reichsmarks in the lower city, of which 50 million have been given to Mr. Malken, and the rest is the target of the five alchemy factories.

If Mr. Neil can get more money, his group will naturally be able to share a considerable amount of income. More points and less points, it depends on how much effort can be made for Mr. Neil.

There were eleven people sitting on each seat, most of them due to the influence of the mysterious energy of the sewage reservoir, and their bodies had undergone some kind of abnormalities. Old Adrien sat in the third seat to Neil's left, his eyes blood-red, his hands clenched to suppress the mania in his body.

Neil saw the old Adrien's strange appearance and asked, "Adrian, what's wrong with you?" Seems to be unwell! ”

"Neal Boss...... Last night, my workshop was attacked by monsters inside the reservoir. Old Adrien took a deep breath, his age was too old after all, and the burden on his body from the first generation of mysterious materials was much heavier than that of others. He endured the pain of the explosion and said to Neil, "The monster is strong, three people died in the workshop, and the factory was destroyed.

Boss Neil, you know I spent all my savings to buy new equipment. Can you lend me some money to fix the factory and I will be able to pay it back soon? ”

Neil held a cigarette in his finger and said to old Adrian proudly: "Adrian, I persuaded you when you borrowed money from me to buy equipment...... Don't invest blindly. The current situation is the consequence of your disobedience to my persuasion.

And when I gave you that workshop, I made it very clear that I was not going to help you, and I was not going to ask you for any money from you in addition to the mining fees.

Your situation, you find a way to solve it yourself. Actually, wouldn't it be better for you to bring your people to work with me? Sitting in the office, not having to worry about anything, getting money every week. ”

"That refinery has so much affection for me and my people that we don't want to give up," said the elder Adrien. I will figure out the money for repairing the factory myself. I just want to ask the boss that you can forgive me a few days for the mining fee I want to pay, and I can make up for it as soon as I make money. ”

"Adrian, what tone are you talking to me!" Neil flicked the ashes of his cigarette: "If the rules are established, they must be followed, otherwise what are the rules for?" This time I gave you grace for a few days, and others also gave me grace, what should I do?

I have so many people here, you come to raise me! ”

Neil's words suddenly made an invisible change in the atmosphere of the entire conference room. Most of the leaders here have their own refining workshops, and when they pay the monthly mining fee, they have the most headache.

If Neil said this kind of thing in normal times, everyone would only feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts, and there would not be too much dissatisfaction, after all, the daily expenses of the gang are indeed large.

But at this time, tens of millions of investments are about to arrive, and you are still so harsh as the boss, it is too much to say.

Everyone looks at the old Adrien now, as if he is seeing his own future. They also realised that they would most likely not get any benefit from the investment.

Ever since Neil took this position, he has become more and more alienated from everyone. He just killed the previous boss to take the position, and now he is more and more wary of these old brothers who may threaten him.

But Neil didn't notice the changing atmosphere in the council chamber, and he thought he could still control the leaders. When Luke's investment is in place, all potential threats can be completely eliminated.

Seeing that the elder Adrien no longer spoke, Neil thought that he had retreated under the pressure of his own momentum. Neil changed his tone and said kindly, "Adrian, I believe that with your ability, you can solve all the difficulties. Now let me ask you something, what did Mr. Luke do in your refining workshop? ”

Everyone in the chamber looked at Old Adrien.

Luke and his party were stared at by many people, and it was naturally no secret that he went to the refining workshop of old Adrian.

As for what he did inside, it was something that everyone was curious about.

Old Adrien brought a box from his men behind him, and he opened the box and pulled out a tube of reagents. The reagent is a sinister black-purple color, and the sheen it exudes attracts all eyes.

"This is what Mr. Luke left with me, called the First Generation Mystic Material Mixture."

Old Adrien said, watching everyone's reactions.

Apparently none of them could tell what it was from the name.

Neil laughed, "I knew, I knew that Luke's purpose in investing in Downtown wasn't a alchemy factory at all. This is the treasure he is talking about, a treasure that has not yet been developed.

Adrian, Mr. Luke tells you, what is the purpose of this potion called a mixture? ”

"That's what I'm going to do for the Boss and you."

Old Adrien stood up, his eyes fully open, and his hole glowed like blood. Hair and beard grew, and fangs protruded from the corners of his mouth, like a real lion.

Old Adrien stared at Neil, and the man between him and Neil realized that something was wrong and quickly moved out of the way.

"Boss Neil! Did you see that? The first-generation mystical substance concoction allows one to safely gain powerful power in a short period of time, and its value goes far beyond the alchemy materials refined in your alchemy factory.

This is indeed a treasure. But...... It doesn't belong to you. ”

Neal sensed the hostility of old Adrien, and he stood up and angrily rebuked, "Adrien, sit back in your place. You don't have what it takes to challenge me, but your merits can get you a great bonus.

You can keep your Refiner. ”

Neil's men swarmed up, and so did Old Adrian's men. Although the old Adrian had few people, they were like hungry beasts, with bloodthirsty eyes shining in them.

Old Adrien ignored Neil, and said to the other vigilant leaders, "Everyone should know very well how Neil has treated us since he sat in this position.

When Mr. Luke left this tube of potions, he left me a message.

He's going to see Neil's head tonight.

I don't want to live a life of trying to keep the workshop every day, I want to make a lot of money with Mr. Luke. The first generation of mystical concoctions will definitely allow us all to make a lot of money and live as affluent as Uptown.

How do you choose? ”

The leaders looked at each other.

The elder Adrien and his men had apparently been injected with a mixture of first-generation mystical substances, and before they knew how much the potion would give them, they were gambling with them.

Is Neil still worth fighting for himself?

Moreover...... Just looking at the superficial effect, the first-generation mystical substance mixture was indeed more valuable than the alchemy materials they had painstakingly refined.

"Stand back!"

"Stand back!"

"Stand back!"

……

The leaders shouted, and their men stepped back on guard. They decided not to take sides, and whoever wins they followed.

A seat was quickly vacated in the middle of the chamber.

When Old Adrien saw that the group of people who were the most threatening to him chose not to intervene, he looked at Neil: "Boss, you and I can only have one person alive tonight. ”

With that, old Adrien waved his hand, and his son and Ed led the team to rush towards Neil and his men. Not to be outdone, Neil took a machete from his men and led the team to charge at Old Adrien.

A life-and-death struggle unfolded in the council chamber, and in an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and severed limbs flew wildly.

The roar of the fight almost lifted the roof of the room.

The people around him clenched their weapons and fists, nervously watching the battle situation in the middle. They don't know who will win or what will happen to them.

……

After dark, Luke sat on the couch in the living room and waited for news.

Standing by the door, his back against the wall, he used his senses to detect the situation outside.

Princess Dale sits on another couch, using a small puppet controlled by magic manipulation to battle the night on the table. In the light of the sword, the shadow flipped deftly with a thin sword made of a sewing needle. The money-greedy goblin held a gold coin and clapped and cheered very hard.

The quick leg by the door said, "Sir, there are more people outside, and some of them are gradually approaching. There's more to Downtown than just Malcoln and five alchemy factories, and some people who feel like they don't have any hope of getting their money out of your hands will take the risk. ”

Luke looked at the night and puppets fighting on the table with great interest, and replied casually: "Until all my money is distributed, Malcoln and the five alchemy factories will not watch me have an accident." Those who want to stand up and take risks must also have their lives to stand up and take risks.

Don't be so nervous, come and sit down and have a drink, someone will help us deal with the brainless people. ”

Kuaileg sensed that the approaching person was stopped by someone else, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But he didn't leave, and continued to stay in his position and sense the situation outside.

"Sir...... It's so late, you haven't gone to rest, are you waiting for someone? ”

Dale also looked at Luke and asked, "yes." Looking at the way you look, it looks like something is going to happen tonight. If it weren't for helping you, I would have fallen asleep a long time ago. ”

Luke looked at Daile in surprise: "I thought you were having fun and didn't want to go to sleep, so you stayed here to help me fight?" ”

Dale's control puppet speeds up the frequency of attacks, forcing the night to jump up and down. "Think I can't fight? My grades in magic practice classes and sword fighting classes were very good. As long as you give me the jasmine magic wand, I'll show you what strength is. ”

Luke knew what Dale was capable of, and the space she was given to play was a very terrifying magic turret. It's just that her heart is too soft, and I'm afraid she will harm others and herself at a critical time.

"I thank you, but unfortunately there was no fight for you tonight, I'm waiting for a gift."

Dai Er asked curiously, "What gift?" ”

"A gift that is important to me, but not to you. Go upstairs and go to bed, there's still a lot to do tomorrow. ”

Seeing that Luke was reluctant to say what the gift was, Daile was very interested and did not ask. She let go of the puppet's grip and let it fall on the table, then stood up and said goodbye to Luke with her skirt raised, "I'll go to bed, and you won't go too late...... Good night! ”

"Good night, my Highness Princess."

Dark Night put away his sword and chased Dale upstairs after saluting Luke.

Seeing that he had nothing to do, the money-goblin asked Luke, "Master, is there anything I need to do?" ”

At this time, the fast leg whispered vigilantly: "Sir, someone is coming." ”

Luke also heard the sound of cars moving, and the convoy stopped outside the door, and a lot of people came down from it.

Luke said to the money-grubbing goblin, "Go, prepare coffee for the guests." ”

"Yes, master."

The money-goblin flies to the kitchen, and the doorbell rings at the same time.

Quickly look at Luke, get permission and open the door.

Outside the door stood a man covered in blood, his naked upper body covered with shocking wounds, and carrying a blood-dripping burden in his hand.

"My name is Ed, and I brought what Mr. Luke wanted."

"Come in, my husband has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Thank you!" Ed was polite: "We did take a bit of a long time, and Mr. Luke waited a long time. ”

Ed walked into the house, his steps faltering, as if he had exhausted all his strength with every step. Fast Legs wanted to support him, but was politely refused. He had just fought his first battle, and he was slashed all over his body and stabbed in someone's heart. It wasn't too long or too short, and he had completed his transformation from a protected person to a warrior.

Old Adrien has entrusted me with the task of coming to see Mr. Luke, and I will never fail to live up to the sacrifices of my brothers.

"Mr. Luke......" Ed walked up to Luke, put the burden in his hand on the table, and opened the head that suddenly became Neil, "Adrion has completed your instructions. ”

Luke looked at the heads on the table, then at Ed, who was unsteady on his feet, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Ed replied, "Uncle Adrien is taking over the alchemy factory, and many of us have died, including Sainsbury, who is the youngest son of Uncle Adrien. I was sent because I couldn't help much. ”

"Probably......" Luke knew Adrien's intention in asking Eddard to come, and instead of exposing it, he said to Add, "Sit down, have a cup of coffee, and let the goblins bandage your wounds." ”

Ed looked at the clean sofa and said embarrassedly, "No, such a beautiful sofa doesn't look good if I get dirty." If you don't have anything else to do, Mr. Luke, I'll go back first...... Uncle asked me to tell you that he is looking forward to meeting you tomorrow. ”

"I'm looking forward to seeing him tomorrow as well. But if you go back like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to relay my words to Adrien. Sit down, the money goblins will clean everything up, and I'd like to hear how you guys got rid of Neil. ”

Luke flicked up a gold coin, and the money-greedy goblin happily hugged the gold coin: "Master, I will clean everything and bandage the wounds of the guests." ”

Ed had no choice but to sit down, and the muscles in his whole body suddenly felt relaxed.

The money-grubbing elves bring straps and medicines, and bandage their wounds while releasing healing magic. Ed had coffee in his hand, and as he drank it, he told Luke about their fight with Neil.

If it weren't for the first-generation mystical substance mixture, there would be no way for these thirty or so of them to kill Neil. Even though each of them made a reinforcement, the battle was still fierce.

Neil can occupy a gold refining factory, and he has a strong strength in his own right, and he is also surrounded by many powerful cronies, and there are many people. If it weren't for the fact that the battle was in the council chamber, and the other leaders had deliberately blocked the support coming in from outside, their gang would have been the one who had been killed.

Thankfully, they won. Despite the heavy losses, Neil was killed, and the other bosses acquiesced to this fact for the time being. Whether the elder Adrien can sit firmly in the position he grabbed depends on the result of meeting Luke tomorrow.

He sent Ed to deliver Neil's head, thinking that Luke liked the child, so he taught Ed the recipe and process of the first generation of mystical material mixtures. If Luke can take Eddard, he'll be able to sit still.

The money-goblins bandaged Ed like a rice dumpling, each bandage tied with a bow.

Luke waited for Ed to finish speaking, and after some consideration.

People must not be left behind, and Princess Dale's identity must be kept strictly secret. Fast legs and dark night can be trusted, the money-greedy goblins are hired by themselves, and they won't talk nonsense to others, but Ed doesn't have to.

After all, he was raised by the elder Adrien.

"Ed, I saw Neil's head, you can take it with you when you go. When you go back, tell Adrien that I have a small space here, and it is not suitable for another person. And then there'...... Unless there are special circumstances, the craft of the first generation of mystical substance mixtures, I will not teach anyone more.

When we meet tomorrow, we'll talk about making money with this thing. ”

Ed understands what Luke's means to him, and with the exclusive process technology of the first generation of mysterious substance mixtures, his life will be completely changed.

"Thank you, Mr. Luke. Although I don't know why you chose me, I will definitely repay you with my life. ”

Luke laughed and said, "Adrien said you were a good boy and I believed in you." Let's go, your uncle should be waiting for your news. ”

Ed stood up and bowed to Luke, "Goodbye, Mr. Luke. Good night! ”

Hurry up and send Ed away, and wait for the outside convoy to leave before closing the door.

Puzzled, he asked, "Sir, it turned out to be Neil's head." But how can you be sure that Adrien will kill Neil? ”

"It's fate who will kill some people, and I'm just giving it a slight push." Luke stood up and said to the goblin, "Clean up this place, I'll go to sleep."

Go to sleep, too, there won't be anything more tonight. ”

"Yes, sir, good night!"

"Good night, master!"

Luke sleeps soundly at the sight of Neil's head, while the entire downtown area is experiencing a massive earthquake because of Neil's death. Most people don't know what's going on, and can only learn about what happened at Neil's Alchemy Factory through some channels.

Adrien took just over thirty men with him to kill Neil in person.

The first generation of mysterious substance mixture.

Mr. Luke.

Cesspool treasures.

……

Various clips indicate that Neil's death was related to Mr. Luke. In order to obtain something from Mr. Luke, Adrien betrayed and killed Neil.

What was the first generation of mystical substance mixtures?

And what is the treasure of the cesspool?

The former Neil Alchemy, now the Adrien Alchemy Factory, is too chaotic to get accurate information.

But what is certain is that Mr. Luke's investment is no longer a happy one. Neil proves with his life that death and the fight have just begun.

The next day, Alice arrives at Luke's residence early.

She stood in front of the door, looking at the blood stains that stretched from the side of the road to the doorstep, and her whole body trembled slightly.

She couldn't figure out why Luke and Adrien must have met for the first time yesterday, and why Adrien had killed his boss Neil for Luke's sake. What happened inside that closed alchemy house, and what caused Adrien to take his family's life?

Adrien had lost a son in the battle.

But the blood stains left here last night meant that Adrien did not resent Mr. Luke at all. Mr. Luke didn't force him, and he was willing to kill Neil.

Alice realizes that she is being too presumptuous these days, and treats Mr. Luke like a fat sheep who doesn't know about Downtown. Now it seems that he is just a pawn played by Mr. Luke.

If he wanted to kill himself, he probably didn't even know how he died.

The more she thinks back to her experience with Mr. Luke, the more frightened Alice is that Luke can kill Neil quietly right under her nose. She'd seen a lot of killings in Downtown, but this time she's really scared.

"Mr. Luke!" Hearing the sound of the guard, Alice immediately bowed and saluted: "I'm sorry, please forgive me for offending you, I did something that I shouldn't do as your advisor." ”

"Money goblin, I'll let you clean it, including the doorway and yard. Now my shoes are covered in blood! ”

As he walked out the door, Luke stepped on a pool of blood. After a night of winding, the blood became sticky and smelled fishy.

The money-goblin immediately flew out and used his magic to clean the blood from Luke's shoes. "I'm sorry, master, please don't withhold my money. Before you return, I'll clean your territory. ”

The boots soon shined brightly.

Luke seemed to notice Alice at this point, and he complimented Alice, "No, you didn't offend me, you're definitely the best employee I've ever hired." I never thought that you would be able to complete the task I gave you so perfectly, and I would consider giving you a generous bonus.

Well done. ”

Alice thought Luke was talking the other way, and said in a panic, "I'm sorry, Mr. Luke. I will never sell your secrets as information again. ”

"Secret? What secrets can I have! Luke, who was in a good mood, threw his cane and walked out: "I am digging for riches in Downtown, and everyone who is willing to make a fortune together is welcome to participate." You do your job as a consultant, and I don't want to care about what you do outside of work, and I don't have the right to do it. ”

Fast legs walked past Alice. "Sir is in control, everything is in control of him. If you can't resist the fear of domination, try to accept it.

Let's go...... The place I went to today was too bloody, and Mr. asked Madame to stay at home. ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" Alice finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Oh, yes!

When I realized that I had actually been dominated for the past few days, and that the things I thought I were proud of were actually made by this person, the fear was really chilling.

What the hell is he?

Alice got into the car with her, and the car started and drove towards the Adrien Alchemy Factory.

After Adrion killed Neil last night, the battle here isn't over. Neil has occupied this alchemy factory for so many years, and has naturally cultivated a group of descendants who are loyal to him. There are also people who have heard that Neil has been killed and want to fish in troubled waters.

When Adrien killed Neil, he gathered his followers to occupy the alchemy factory, and killed the people for another night to eliminate dissent.

So when Luke came to the alchemy factory in the car again, he saw a completely different scene from yesterday.

Adrien hung up all the corpses to intimidate the crowd and establish himself in his first place.

Luke, who got out of the car, looked at the hanging corpses and the large group of bloodied thugs, and couldn't help laughing: "Adrion killed Neil on the throne, it's a little arrogant." ”

"Sir, this is a demonstration to you," said Kuaileg. ”

"I think it's more like waiting for the price to sell. Adrien is not qualified to demonstrate to me, and only wants to sell himself for a good price. That's good...... With a good temperament, this negotiation will definitely go very well.

Let's go. ”

Luke stepped on a pool of blood, splashing a splash of blood, and a blaze burned the blood and quickly extinguished it.

The shoes are still shiny as new.
