Chapter 273: Ascending to the Heavens
"Carl, let's go and find out what's going on with Claude Andriol in Macon City as soon as possible?"
In the Nathan Gate office building, Dwight Peyton strode into his assistant's office: "Within thirty-six hours, I want to know everything about him." ”
"Claude Andriol, I think I've heard the name. ”
Carl looked confused and flipped through the document in front of him.
But before he had the result, Dwight Payton had already said the answer: "This is one of the top four in this year's high school individual cold weapon fighting tournament in Macon, and major organizations predict that he is likely to win the championship and meet Amo in the Georgia individual event next week." And not long ago, someone made a point of mentioning this name to me, telling me to be careful of this guy. ”
However, Dwight's attention was drawn to another pile of A4 paper on Carl's desk: "What is this?
"It was a draft returned from the comic club, and Ah Mo drew a comic book before and asked me to help him submit it. He hopes that through the channel of our Nathan Group, we will attract the attention of the editors-in-chief of major publishing houses. ”
Karl spread his hands: "But unfortunately the result is that I helped him contact several families and all failed." ”
"Isn't the sketch up to their requirements?"
"No, there are still a few that agree to publish, but their requirements are very demanding, and Ah Mo is arrogant. I'd rather not publish than work for these publishing houses. That's right, if you agree to their conditions, it will be tantamount to giving them a painter's job, with Amo's future status, this is not necessary, isn't it? I think these publishing houses are probably already regretting it, they probably didn't expect Amo to have such a big popularity. Two companies have already asked me to contact Ah Mo to renegotiate the conditions, but he is too lazy to deal with them now. ”
Dwight Peyton listened as he flipped through it, and then his face became stranger: "Very good! I think the editors-in-chief of these publishing houses either didn't read his drawings carefully, or they should be fired." ”
Carl couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Is Mr. Peyton very optimistic about this comic? Although I think it's very good, I also feel that the opinion of the publisher is very right, and the plot of the comic is too superficial and straightforward, and there is no depth." ”
"Shit! Cartoons are not all drawn for teenagers, except for the political cartoons published in the newspapers? What depth do you want? Don't forget that we in America, at least 12 percent of the people can't read the newspapers. ”
Dwight scoffed, then held out his hand to Carl, "Give me a file bag." ”
Carl was naturally obedient, but he also felt puzzled: "Mr. Peyton, are you going to take it home and collect it?"
"I'm going to a ball in the evening, and the president of Ferguson Culture & Media will be there, and it's supposed to be a guy who knows the goods. He is very capable of bringing a small publishing company to a media group with a market value of 1.2 billion gold dong. ”
Dwight Peyton smiled and stuffed a stack of drawings into a folder: "Of course, Amo is completely uninterested in this, and that's another matter, but I feel like he's short of money." Carl, this matter has nothing to do with you, what you want to focus on now is Claude Andrith-"
When Dwight said this, he deliberately tapped his finger on his desk: "Find out his situation as soon as possible, understand? This is probably our opponent again, and he is going to put an obstacle in the way of our lucky prince? I want to know, what do they want to do this time? Now Ah Mo, at the level of a high school student, is already invincible." ”

On Thursday afternoon, in an unmanned warehouse on East Anfalk Street in Atlanta, Sampson Brutt, Lee Taylae, the Collinson brothers, Alyssa Targaryen, and a woman named Isadora Weeks each took a corner of a magical array in the shape of a seven-pointed star.
And in the center of the magic array, there is Hazel in armor.
This is a property belonging to Li Chunchu's offshore companies, covering a total area of 137,400 square meters, including seven large-scale warehouses of high standards, as well as a seven-story office building. Until yesterday, these properties were entrusted to a warehouse company.
Li Mochen guessed that this was the original owner's father, and it was a piece of land prepared for the Rising Sun Company to enter real estate development. And Sampson and others, after a field trip, thought that this could be used as one of their fortress bases.
It is rare that it is less than 90 meters away from 34 Anfalk Street. It means that once Li Mochen buys this spatial gap that can lead to the dark world, he can provide a strong security guarantee for that side through this warehouse group.
So in the next period of time, Li Mochen will invest 17 million gold here. Nominally, the warehouses were enlarged, but in reality a semi-militarized fortress was built here to serve as his private army garrison, and he even invested some money to buy some of the buildings between them and 34 Anfalk Street.
And now, a warehouse here has been completely vacated by Li Mochen as a ritual location for him to usurp the power of the Apostle of Calamity. And just for this magic array, as well as the corresponding items, Li Mochen spent a full five million gold shields.
Since the Cardinal Club did not open for hours, Li Mochen couldn't wait for that time, so he spent some extra money.
At this time, Li Mochen was working with Major Thompson Adams, carefully examining the magic energy array that had just been drawn.
In both the East and the West, 7 is considered to be a very powerful number. The Creator created man in 6 days and rested on the 7th day, and there are 7 deadly sins for man, 7 seals, 7 lampstands, 7 trumpets, and so on in the book of Revelation in the Bible.
However, it is difficult to draw the seven-pointed star accurately, because the seven-pointed star is "an uneven but perfectly stable one". In the occult, it is seen as a more complex pattern of stars and more powerful ones.
Therefore, the magic array based on the seven-pointed star is extra complex and difficult to draw, but it will be very stable after completion.
"Lady Natural Punisher, do you think the boss will be able to succeed?"
Howard Eisenhower held the gun and stood in the corner looking at the center of the warehouse, and he and Danyne Stracey were also called by Li Mochen as protectors to prevent accidents in the process.
"Theoretically, yes. ”
A silver light shone in Dai Nien's eyes: "Major Adams is only a part-time ninth-level magic mage, and his attainments in magic arrays are weak, but our boss is very knowledgeable, and I can see that he is still a little rusty about the arrangement of magic arrays." But he has a pair of discerning eyes that can accurately capture the essence of the mystery, and this magic array is no problem. The only thing that can happen is the erosion of the mind of the Apostle of Calamity, but our boss, these things are very interesting, and I think he has already prevented it. ”
At this time, what she was looking at was the silver pill that Sampson Blut and others were holding in their hands.
A few people in this seven-pointed star array, except for Hazel, all the rest of them had such a pill. It exudes a faint aura and has a strange magical rhythm.
"In other words, these guys can reach the sky in one step?"
Howard Eisenhower couldn't help but look envious and jealous: "This is really enviable, how much money I have spent for my professional level over the years, how many dangers have I had? But they can have it now." ”
