Chapter 17 Murder

As the car left Old Adrian's refining workshop, Alice, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but ask Luke: "Sir, what did you make in Old Adrian's alchemy house? I didn't see you bring it out.

Have you forgotten?"

"I wanted to see what effect these mysterious energies would have when mixed together, but it failed." Luke didn't say much, but changed the subject and asked: "What kind of person is Mr. Neil? Meet him.

, what should I pay attention to?”

The car jolted violently at this time, causing Del to shake and scream. Luke put his arm around her waist to prevent her head from hitting the roof of the car. Del was sensitive and wanted to break away, but she saw the front

Alice looked over and had no choice but to admit that she was at a disadvantage.

Dai'er said: "My dear, no matter what you want to invest in here, you must repair the roads here. The more valuable things are, the less they can withstand such bumps."

Luke retracted his hand from holding Dai'er: "Yes, there needs to be a convenient road here. But if you want to build the road, you must have the cooperation of the people here. Otherwise, no matter how much building materials we transport, it will definitely disappear the next day.

This is also one of the things I want to discuss when I meet Mr. Neil.

Alice, you continue..."

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

Alice acted very dignified in front of Del. She even secretly took off some jewelry to make herself look more ordinary. In her opinion, in addition to her outstanding temperament and slim figure, this Miss Jasmine's appearance was not

She's so pretty...and has too many eye-catching freckles on her face.

Makeup with bright colors can increase the visual impact and make people look mature and noble, but it lacks affinity and makes people around you unconsciously feel pressured.

Alice restrained her tone and told Luke the information related to Neil in detail.

In fact, Luke has more detailed information about Edmund Neal.

Edmund Neil controls one of the five gold refining factories in the Lower City, which determines that he has very great power and influence in the Lower City.

The gold refining plant is the core of all large-scale battles in Xiacheng District. Around these five refining plants, a major conflict breaks out almost every few months, and the owners change every few years.

When a new boss takes over, the refining factory workshops attached to the refining factory will change owners. Large refining factories are generally under the direct control of the refining factory, and the money earned is used to maintain the daily expenses of the entire gang. Smaller workshops will be given to capable people.

Once the gang encounters a life-and-death matter, they can rely on these guys who can fight.

Old Adrian is one of Neil's leaders.

Both he and his son were affected by the mysterious energy of the sewage reservoir, and their bodies became extremely strong. They went to war with other gangs, and the father and son soldiers protected each other and cooperated with each other, making great contributions to Neil's robbery of the refinery.

A refining workshop is a reward for old Adrian.

Old Adrian was a generous man. Although the income from a refining workshop was not much, it also gathered a group of loyal employees for him.

And his loyalty was naturally doubted by Neil.

The sewage reservoir is an ecosystem of its own. While it is constantly killing people, it is also constantly screening out the strong. Outsiders have neither the power nor the ability to threaten the gold refining factory, and the owners of the refining factory all change from within.

When Luke met Neil, old Adrian stared motionlessly at the tube of reagent on the table.

The current situation of the workshop is very bad.

The purchase of new equipment left me with no spare funds, and I even owed a lot of money, but the mining fees needed to be paid soon.

Old Adrian knew that Neil would never forgive him for the date of payment. He wished that he would go bankrupt so that he could take back the workshop in good name.

Ed on the ground has calmed down. His body has become extremely strong, with strong muscles stretching out his clothes. His skin has a marble-like texture, and his blood vessels are bulging one by one.

"What happened?" Ed got up from the ground. The changes in his body made him unsteady. When he was about to fall, his legs exerted force and he jumped up, hitting his head violently on the iron beam.

, and then fell heavily onto the shelf.

The heavy object placed on the shelf hit Ed who fell to the ground. Apart from wailing in fear, Ed did not suffer any injuries on his body.

When everything was quiet, Ed stood up very carefully. He looked at the hugely changed body, then easily grabbed an all-steel machine with one hand, and looked at old Adrian with a blank look on his face: "Uncle, what should I do?

Already?"

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

Ed put down the machine and came to the table where the reagents were placed. He stretched out his hand, fearing that he would lose control of his strength and break the reagent tube, so he took it back.

"I learned it. When Mr. Luke was making the potion, he explained the process very carefully... Ah, Mr. Luke forgot to take away the prop balloons that capture the mysterious energy." Ed pointed to the five balloons next to the reagent tube.

Old Adrian had already seen these five prop balloons, and he continued to ask Ed: "Can you also make the first-generation mysterious substance mixture?"

"Is the thing Mr. Luke made called the first-generation mysterious substance mixture? He put this potion into my heart, and I became like this. I feel that my whole body is full of power, and I am as strong as you, uncle.

I can live longer!

I want to thank Mr. Luke."

Although Ed's body has changed, he still has a young mind. When he realized that it was the injection of medicine that Luke gave him that caused him to have a healthy body now, he couldn't hide his excitement and gratitude to Luke.

Old Adrian patted Ed hard on the shoulder, but Ed only dwarfed slightly, without any sign of injury. He didn't even know what kind of strength Old Adrian had used.

"Ed!" Old Adrian asked in a serious tone: "Tell me if you can make this potion, this is very important!"

"Yes!" Ed said confidently: "The process of making the first-generation mysterious substance mixture is not complicated. There are several important processes. Mr. Luke guided me to complete them personally.

I am confident that I can create the first generation of mysterious substance mixture.

Uncle, with this medicine, we can save many, many people."

"It will also kill many, many people." Old Adrian patted Ed's face and told him not to get too excited: "Ed, don't tell anyone about the first-generation mysterious material mixture, and don't let anyone

Knew you could make this potion.

Including my son."

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

After all, Ed grew up in the sewage reservoir in Xiacheng District, and he saw many scenes of people sinking into the sewage reservoir. He understood what kind of skill he had mastered, and he knew that this potion could save many people, and the people who died because of it

Probably more.

Old Adrian said to the sensible Ed: "You are very smart. Mr. Luke values ​​you so much. You will definitely be able to accomplish great things that neither your father nor I can accomplish. Now you need to adapt to the changed body first and take your time."

, I will protect you."

Following Old Adrian's instructions, Ed used the equipment in the alchemy room and maintenance room to undergo strength adaptation training.

Old Adrian found a sponge, carefully rolled up the medicine, tied it with a seal, and finally put it into a box together with several syringes.

Ed on the side asked: "Uncle, why did Mr. Luke teach me the formula and process of the first-generation mysterious substance mixture? I have never met Mr. Luke before. He is a big shot from Raging Waves City."

Ed lost control of his strength and broke a glass bottle.

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

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

"Kill Neil."

"Ah! Neil is our boss."

Old Adrian was very troubled: "He knows that Neil is my boss. He taught you how to make the first-generation mysterious substance mixture, just to force me to kill Neil."

"I don't understand."

Old Adrian said sadly: "I shouldn't have told you these things, but since you are involved, you must know what we are facing."

Ed listened carefully, and Old Adrian continued: "Alice came with Mr. Luke, a woman who could sell herself for money.

Everyone in the lower town dislikes her, but because of this, everyone is willing to tolerate her. Neil will definitely ask Alice what Mr. Luke is doing here, and Alice will definitely exchange this information for money.

"

Ed said: "Alice didn't come in. She didn't know about the first-generation mysterious material mixture."

"But how can I explain your change? Besides, since Mr. Luke has done this, he will definitely let Neil know that I have a potion in my hand that allows people to safely gain extraordinary power."

Ed added: "We can give the potion to Mr. Neil, and I can also produce the first-generation mysterious substance mixture for Mr. Neil. Mr. Neil will definitely give us a lot of money!"

Old Adrian did not answer immediately. He placed his hand on the box containing the potion with an extremely solemn expression. After an unknown amount of time, Old Adrian said to Ed: "Ed... give you and the potion to Ni."

Well, you will get a lot of money and a very high status.

But I, and my children, will never be able to escape the life we ​​are living now. Neil is not a generous person, and he refused to lend me money just to take away this refinery.

In the past, I had no choice but to accept my fate, but it is different now. By killing Neil, my grandchildren and their children will no longer go back to the lower city. They can live a better life, and even...

Follow Mr. Luke to Raging Waves City and become a big shot that everyone respects.

Ed, your father saved my life. Even after he died, I always considered you my son.

Now you also face a choice.

Should you follow Neil and live a stable and wealthy life; or follow me and risk your life."

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

Ed's answer allowed Old Adrian to put aside his last worries, and he said: "After you have adapted to your body, make the first-generation mysterious material mixture and make as much as possible. I will gather trustworthy people and bring them here

Injection of medication.

After Neil meets Mr. Luke, he will definitely send someone to find me, and we will take action at that time.

Ed, we have a small number of people, so our chances of winning are not high, so everyone has to contribute. You have never fought before, so I will take care of you when we fight, but you must also be careful."

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

Old Adrian was determined to kill Neil, and the negotiations between Luke and Neil were not going well.

Neil asked for an investment of 450 million Reichsmarks because he knew how much investment Luke had in his hands. Of course Luke would not throw all the money here. After all, there were four other alchemy factories waiting to be discussed.

In a luxuriously decorated living room, the fat Neil sat on a sofa with an arrogant posture. His hand covered with gold rings held a wine glass, and a row of arrogant thugs stood behind him.

"Mr. Luke! And the beautiful Miss Jasmine..." Nierpi said with a smile: "The biggest wealth in the lower city of St. Lun City is the sewage reservoir. As long as the factories in the imperial capital are still producing, there will be a steady stream of water.

Money is earned. But now that the money is divided among five families, it seems very small.

You give me your money, and I can kill all the other four. You save yourself the trouble and risk of negotiating with them, and I help you make more money."

Luke looked at the time on his pocket watch and looked a little impatient: "Mr. Neil, I don't think 450 million Reichsmarks can help you unify the sewage reservoir. And I don't want too many unnecessary fights in the lower city. Business

I don't like the environment of fighting and killing the most.

An investment of 50 million Imperial Marks will be used to upgrade the equipment of your alchemy factory to make the refined alchemical materials more pure. If you agree to this investment, I can discuss a specific investment contract with you tomorrow."

How could Neil, who knew how much money Luke had, set his sights on 50 million Imperial Marks? That small research institute of Malcolm even got 50 million from Luke. How could a company as big as mine and with so many people be able to compete with him?

Comparable?

Neil crushed the wine glass in his hand and said to Luke with a fierce look: "Boy, you should know where this place is. You'd better give me the money I want, otherwise I'll have plenty of ways to get it.

.”

Without waiting for Luke to answer, Del said loudly: "Who do you think you are? Even the upper council members of Raging Wave City dare not speak to my husband like this! I know this is Lower City, but do you know this is imperial territory?

?

How many lives do you have? Dare you touch us!"

Dai'er showed a more arrogant attitude than Neil and his men.

The thugs wanted to step forward to defend their boss, but Neil waved his hand and blocked them back.

The information given by Alice said that Miss Molixiang had a rich family background and almost became the wife of Viscount Yinskelan of Raging Waves City.

Who is Viscount Inscolan now?

A member of the Upper Council of Raging Waves City and a confidant of the Imperial Princess.

Investment negotiations have just begun now, and they are far from offending such a wealthy family.

Luke stood up at this time and said: "In negotiations, it is inevitable that we will not reach an agreement. We have no intention of bullying others with our family background, and please Mr. Neil not threaten us with dishonorable means.

You definitely can't afford my investment by yourself.

I suggest that today's negotiations end here first, and that both of us have a good night to think about it.

My wife and I will come again tomorrow and we will continue talking.

I believe that after a night of thinking, we will come up with an investment plan that everyone can accept.
Chapter completed!
