Chapter 120: The Real World

The next day, an assassination was made public.

This assassination is a psychopathic gunman, indiscriminate murder of passion.

The gunman broke into Mr. Ludon's box, and the young quartermaster died in a struggle with the gunman

His widow was received by the old king and bestowed on him a knighthood.

And Mr. Luton gave a public speech in which he shouted to the Little United Kingdom and beyond, that no one could divide this mighty kingdom.

The turmoil on the surface quickly passed.

But there is a thread in people's hearts that they dare not loosen.

Anyone who is not blind can see that the situation in the small United Kingdom today is like a powder keg, both internally and externally.

A little spark could ignite this powder keg.

If Mr. Ludon had died in this assassination, it's hard to imagine what horrible things would have happened!

People are not optimistic about the future.

However, life still has to be passed.

The world does not stop because of the death of one person.

Companies began to be broken up, and a lot of the businesses that made money were split up again.

This split is not the same as it was before the Great Depression.

Before the Great Recession, the company survived with broken arms, ensuring as much cash flow as possible and stockpiling food and fat in the cold winter.

The business that has been cut is also some leftovers, dispensable, even if it is lost, it will not be distressed.

And this time it was unpacked, it was rudely split according to the type of business.

In terms of finance, it is directly wasted for the company.

The banks and fortune exchanges, which were eaten in the mouth before the Great Depression, were forced to vomit before they could be swallowed.

There were no orders from the mint, and the gold mining rights were taken.

The scariest thing is that these changes did not bring cash to the company!

Instead, the shares were directly divided, and many members of the company's board of directors were cleared out and became the full shareholders of the split business, which no longer had anything to do with the company.

As for military supplies, ah no, in terms of medical equipment, the company has some trouble with orders.

They got half of the order, and at the same time received some requests for improvements.

According to the company's accounting calculations, the profits of these orders are just enough to support improved research and development, and there is no more.

In other words, the company can do this business now, and it is just doing it, don't want to make a fortune from this.

Of course, among the many unfavorable news, there is good news.

Albert found that the company's board of directors was missing half of the people, and these people were the people who had been the most vocalized before.

His seat suddenly stabilized again.

After the Eternals withdrew from the stage, Luton and the old king engaged in a thrilling game, temporarily achieving a win-win situation.

The old king weakened the company as much as possible, and used all kinds of means to make the knife more sluggish, even if he was the one who carried the knife, he would be afraid that the knife would hurt him.

Now that there are no Eternals, they will have to face a tougher and more cunning enemy, Mr. Luden.

Once the old king shows any flaws, give Ludon any chance.

Ludon will not hesitate to make a move, overthrow the old king, climb to the pinnacle of power in another way, regain control of the overall situation, and start micro-manipulation.

It's not the first time Luton has done this kind of thing.

In Qiyun, in Shenbang, he has done similar things.

In the shooting that night, the old king wished that it was Ludon who died!

Unfortunately, nine times out of ten, things are not going as expected.

Ludon did not die, and when the conflict intensified to the point that he had to make a statement, he turned against the old king's army.

The old king knew very well that this game seemed to be a win-win situation, but after all, he lost.

The reason is simple:

He's too old.

The three years promised by the empress are three years, not one day more, not one day less.

And Mr. Luden. He can live for a long time, judging by his current mentality and behavior.

In this kind of struggle, the question of how long you can survive is extremely important.

Only the advantage of time is the real advantage.

Once the old king died, no one could suppress Ludon.

And the best opportunity, has been missed!

After giving his speech, Ludon was escorted by the Knights of St. Peter and returned to the island of Nan Hagoume!

As long as the old king lives for a day, he will not return to the fog capital!

The next time I returned to Wudu, it was for the funeral of the old king.

Physically eliminating Ludon has become a luxury.

Legitimate channels. That's even more unlikely, Ludon won't leave a handle.

After Qiyun's incident, Lu Deng is now more cautious, and his style is not so aggressive, but he is still ruthless when he shoots.

In his negotiations with the old king, he put forward many conditions that made the old king uncomfortable but had to accept them.

The old king could only watch as Ludon left, unable to do anything.

Even the company, after splitting up half of its business, moved its headquarters from the fog capital to the southern island, away from the whirlpool of the struggle.

After leaving the fog capital, Ludon clearly felt that his quality of life had improved a lot, especially when it came to breathing.

The air quality of the fog capital is not flattering.

It was futile to hear that there were trees in the front and back of the old king's residence to provide him with special air.

Everything can be supplied specially, but it is difficult to supply air.

At least, in terms of the level of science and technology in the fog capital, this is the case.

Of course, he also got busy.

The company now has less business, but fewer people can use it, and more things to share with everyone.

After nearly ten years of idleness, Ludon was finally able to find something to do, but he was full of energy.

The transition of leadership in the company was a natural thing.

Ludon walked back to the front of the scene, Albert was in charge of the technical research, and there was no problem with the cooperation between the two sides.

On this day, Albert reported to Luden on his recent work,

"Mr. Luden, the improved electric light is almost ready, and the product department expects to be able to produce the first batch by the end of this year."

Ludon nodded and agreed,

"Okay, so the factory can work three shifts, and the production efficiency is finally a little better."

Albert:.

He never expected that the biggest use of electric lights was to work overtime.

The two were chatting when a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in their ears!

"There's a fire!"

Albert looked up in the direction of the smoke, and his face changed suddenly!

Is it a lab?!

They have laboratories with precious experimental samples and data?!

Damn it! How could there be a fire there?

When Albert appeared at the scene of the fire, his face was full of bewilderment and difficult to accept.

Looking at the dancing flames in front of him, Ludon had no surprise, but calmly patted Albert's shoulder and said casually,

"Welcome to the real world."
