Chapter 509: Huggins
After the collapse of the steel mill, Huggins' biggest business in St. Brand was a nightclub. At this time, he was on the top floor of his largest nightclub, Orchid Never Sleeps, looking through the special high-definition glass, looking at the men and women in the nightclub who writhed to the ambiguous dance music.
Huggins is in his fifties this year, with a fat body of more than 300 pounds, and a pair of small eyes that flashed with a vicious color, and he didn't look like a good person.
More than ten years ago, Huggins was just a small businessman selling groceries, and it can be said that the three generations of his ancestors were profiteers.
In Huggins' generation, he didn't want to be a small businessman anymore, he was going around in slums like the West End, he wanted to get into the center!
So Huggins gritted his teeth, sold his family property, and even took out a loan to open a steel mill, hoping to take advantage of the low labor costs in the West End to enter the steel industry.
It's just that the steel plant was just established, and Huggins was given a blow to the head. The steel industry is not as simple as the small commodities he sold before, as long as it is produced, someone will pay for it.
Without enough stakeholds, he simply can't open up sales. Seeing that his loan was about to be used up, Huggins accidentally saved an alchemist when he was worried.
Of course, Huggins also had a plan to save the other party, Huggins thought that the alchemists' connections were very strong, and he might be able to introduce himself to a few rich businessmen and nobles.
But I didn't expect that the other party was just a wandering alchemist, and he was also from a civilian background. However, the alchemist gave Huggins an idea, and he got a way to summon the evil god from the ruins, and as long as he sacrificed to Gordon, the god of wishes, he could fulfill all the wishes of the Manchus.
The alchemists knew the fate of sacrificing to the evil gods, so he didn't dare to do it. But the alchemist didn't mean to trick Huggins, he had already made all the consequences clear to Huggins, and Huggins, who was desperate, decided to take a risk!
He secretly killed several slaves he had purchased, sacrificing Gordon with his limbs and entrails. Unexpectedly, it really worked, and a few small businessmen from other cities took the initiative to come to the steel mill to ask for steel, which immediately opened up sales channels for the steel mill.
Huggins tasted the sweetness and simply played a big one. He consulted with the alchemist to directly build a hospital and set up a formation under the hospital to sacrifice Gordon, the god of wishes.
Then in the name of the hospital, various amputations and even craniotomy are performed on the patient. In this way, he will have an infinite number of wishes.
The business of the steel mill began to get better and better, and he also got acquainted with many wealthy merchants and nobles, and even the business of the steel mill had reached a stage where supply exceeded demand, and he also got his wish to enter the central area and became a well-known steel tycoon.
As for the hospital, the people who can come to the hospital to see a doctor are all civilians in the West District, so what if something really happens?
Most civilians are indebted to Huggins because they don't know much about medical care, even if their hands and feet are cut off, and even for the careful care of the hospital.
However, there are also unfortunate ones that need to be taken out of vital organs such as brains and hearts, because a certain part of the body that Gordon needs to sacrifice is not fixed.
It doesn't matter if these are just pushed directly to the side of medical malpractice, and the surgical mortality rate in public hospitals is more than half, isn't there still no one to make trouble?
Occasionally, a few people sensed something was wrong and wanted to ask for an explanation, but they were all sent away by Huggins with forceful means.
Even if they report to the police, it won't work. They give more money to the Western Police Station every year than the government dos, how can they help those poor people?
In the past three years, Huggins has amassed a huge fortune, and the most important thing is that it is 'clean' and can be checked casually.
Unlike those gangsters or smugglers, the money in their hands is not visible. And the alchemist who was rescued by Huggins also entered the Alchemist Association with Huggins' financial support.
Because he has a lot of financial support, he also has some skills, so the alchemy results are released one after another, and he has already become a high-level alchemist.
And because of his skill in drilling camps and the backing of Huggins' money, he even became a member of the board of directors of the Alchemist Guild.
He is the 'Sage of Flame' Fast, one of the seventy-two directors of the Alchemist Guild! The sacrifice to Gordon has always been done by Fast himself, and even Fast himself has used Gordon to make a few wishes.
Three years later, he realized that Gordon had received enough sacrifices, and if he did more, he would need to sacrifice his soul, and Gordon would come.
So Fast forcibly suppressed his and Huggins' greed, chose to ban the altar, closed the hospital, and the steel mill also declined.
But Huggins used his accumulated wealth and connections to successfully enter the Central District and become a tycoon in the entertainment industry in the Central District.
"Master Fast, word has come from my men in the West End that the altar at the hospital has been discovered. It's with Jerome's bastard who I pressed into the molten iron! During this time, he didn't know where he became a transcendent being, and he actually restarted the altar! Damn it! I knew I should have thrown his whole body into molten iron and turned into steel! Huggins held an expensive bottle of red wine in his hand, opened his mouth and poured into the small half-bottle, then put the bottle down with a hideous look on his face.
"I warned you a long time ago! The Formation Altar must be destroyed as soon as possible, but you have to keep it! In the end, something finally happened! Behind Huggins, a middle-aged man in a red mage robe, meticulously combed hair, and gold-rimmed glasses complained.
He is the 'Sage of Flames' Fast, one of the directors of the Alchemist Guild. Fast was a serious alchemist, so he naturally knew how old the person who left the altar formation was.
Trading with the evil god is to seek the skin of the tiger, the evil god will not make a loss-making deal, and in the end, even the soul will definitely have to be sold to the evil god.
But Huggins insisted on keeping the Formation Altar because he wanted to keep a back hand for himself. In case something goes wrong with his business, he can also rely on the formation altar to turn over.
Fast argued with him several times, but finally agreed. Maybe Fast didn't know it himself, even if he had only traded with Gordon, the god of wishes, a few times, but he had already been influenced by her.
Huggins is just an ordinary person with weak mental power, so it's normal to be squinted by greed. But Fast is a high-level alchemist, but he still did not insist on his attitude and chose to leave the altar, which is definitely under the influence of evil gods, and Gordon has unwittingly planted a brand in the depths of his spirit.
Huggins put down the wine bottle and said viciously: "If something happens, something will happen, and now I am not the little businessman I was at the beginning!" Anyway, the hospital has been abandoned, and once something happens, we will directly deny it, and the formation and altar were built by others after the hospital was abandoned! Fast said in a deep voice: "Don't take the transcendent as an idiot, some transcendent people have abilities that even I can't imagine, and it's very simple for them to investigate what happened more than ten years ago." Not to mention the doctors and nurses, as well as the police station personnel, although they didn't know the whole story, as long as there was a confession, they could be investigated! Huggins smiled cruelly on his face, "Don't worry, my old friend, I've taken care of all this." Why do you think I gave them so much severance pay and bought them a house after I disbanded the hospital? Just to make them reluctant to leave St. Brand! Over the years, they've all been pretty much solved by me, either in a car accident, or in a vendetta or in an accident. Even the police officers of the Western District Police Station were all 'killed in the line of duty', and everything was done cleanly. Without evidence, what are they going to do to arrest me? ”
"Who said you need proof to arrest you?" The door was blasted open, and several of Huggins' men fell to the ground.
Yang Cheng and Hughes swaggered directly into the house.
"Who are you!? Is there any royal law left? Huggins pointed at them and scolded. Yang Cheng didn't speak, and Hughes said coldly: "I am a police officer from the St. Brand West District Police Station, and this is Yang Cheng, the special adviser of our West District Police Station." Huggins, you are suspected of sacrificing to evil gods and killing thousands of innocent people, and now I am ordered to arrest you! Huggins sneered: "What kind of evil god sacrifices, what is the matter with me as a legitimate tax-paying businessman?" And the little cop, figure out who you are! When will the police in the West Side come to the central area to arrest people? I don't know what to do! Hughes wanted to say something, but Yang Cheng stopped him directly.
"Don't talk nonsense with this fat man, just do it." Jerome still has the clues he wants, and Yang Cheng is too lazy to be false with this fat man here.
At the moment when Yang Cheng wanted to make a move, a flash of fire flashed in front of Fast, and in an instant, it was already in front of Huggins.
"Since you are the special adviser of the Western Police Station, you must abide by the rules of the police station! I'm Fast, the director of the Alchemist Guild, and I'll quit here now, or I'll immediately clear the guild and the kingdom, and I want a transcendent like you who don't follow the rules! "Although the Alchemists Association is not an official organization, it has close ties to the government.
Fast still has some power in his hands, and it's not too difficult to put a transcendent with no background on the wanted post.
Yang Cheng looked at Fast and showed a mocking smile. In the next moment, countless bloody sword qi instantly swarmed up, heading straight for Fast!
Propriety? Who cares about such a thing in the face of absolute power.
