After Luke came out of Neil's Alchemy Factory, he stopped going to other alchemy factories because he was in a bad mood. When he returned home, the door was closed and he didn't see any visitors.

Let the situation in Xiacheng District ferment on its own.

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

Alice has never been so happy in the past two days. Although the salary given by Mr. Luke is not high, the drinks in her bar are very good. There is also exclusive information related to Mr. Luke that all the forces in the lower city are willing to give.

You have to pay a lot of money to get the information.

The details of Luke's negotiations with Neil today soon came to the table of the bosses of all parties.

Neil wanted to monopolize 450 million Reichsmarks, which aroused the anger of all the bosses who were waiting for their money. After Mr. Luke refused, Neil's threats made him a loser again.

At the same time, Luke's investment plan of 50 million Reichsmarks also gave the other four alchemy factories their bottom line. The rest is to compete with each other. If you get more, your opponents will get less.

It's just that Neil undoubtedly got the best position in this competition. Even if he can't get all the investment money, as long as he gets 100 million from Mr. Luke, the remaining money can be divided equally among the four companies, and their strength will increase.

Also smaller than Neil.

What's more, Neil is so greedy that he will never be satisfied with 100 million.

A meeting between Luke and Neil caused the situation in the lower city to suddenly become tense. Especially in the sewage reservoir area, all parties gathered manpower to prepare for a fight that might break out at any time.

Of course Neil could sense the sudden tense situation within the sewage reservoir.

As the first alchemy factory to negotiate with Luke, he also has a lot of pressure. If he cannot get enough money from Luke, his competitors may ask for more.

Once an investment of 50 million is decided, it is tantamount to sentencing oneself to death.

Asking for a high price and paying back the money on the ground. Neil set a small goal of 100 million for himself and strived to get 200 million.

During the negotiation, he must guard his basic position to ensure that the negotiation proceeds smoothly.

Neil summoned his men to concentrate on the alchemy factory, and also learned from Alice... what Luke did when he went to Old Adrian.

Visit the sewage reservoir and the old Adrian refinery.

Regardless of the danger, he personally drove a boat into the sewage reservoir and collected five different colors of mysterious energy from the water.

Using old Adrian's alchemy house, he performed an alchemy on the collected mysterious energy.

As for the results...

Alice said: Mr. Luke refused to let anyone else enter. At that time, he, Old Adrian and a maintenance man were the only ones in the alchemy room. After coming out, Mr. Luke did not bring out the alchemy results, but said it failed.

Did it really fail?

Neil was sitting on the sofa, thinking with a glass of wine in hand, analyzing the information he had collected.

Mr. Luke has been saying that the Lower City is a treasure, and the purpose of his investment here is to develop this treasure.

If this treasure is known, can it still be his turn to exploit it?

Neil owns an alchemy factory in the sewage reservoir and knows the value of the current output of the sewage reservoir. Extracting alchemy materials from the sewage reservoir is a job that consumes manpower, energy and equipment. Even if Luke puts the

All 450 million was spent on upgrading the equipment of the alchemy factory, and it was impossible to obtain the expected benefits in a short period of time.

Besides, he must know that if people like him get the money, they cannot spend all the money on upgrading the equipment of the alchemy factory.

Looking at Luke's unusual behavior today, the treasure he mentioned is very likely to mean something else. If the mysterious energy in the sewage reservoir can make money, then this undeveloped treasure should have its own share.

As for what Mr. Luke made with the mysterious energy in the sewage reservoir, just call old Adrian and ask.

After receiving Neil's summons, Old Adrian took his son, hired workers, and more than thirty people from Ed into the heavily guarded alchemy factory.

As the elite who built this alchemy factory for Neil, Old Adrian and his gang are not comparable to ordinary gang members in terms of stature and aura.

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

In the meeting hall of the alchemy factory, the gang leaders sat around the conference table. Their respective thugs stood behind them, and the dark atmosphere was very imposing.

These people are Neil's capital to gain a foothold in the Lower City Sewage Reservoir.

Neil likes this kind of atmosphere very much, with strong soldiers and horses and murderous intent. When I see Luke tomorrow, I will give him such a treat to let him know that Raging Waves City is Raging Waves City and the Lower City is Lower City.

We are all outlaws!

We are in a hurry, and we dare to do anything...

At the same time, Neil also made old Adrian realize his status. What do you want to do if you don't take the initiative to hand over the things Luke left with you?

In the meeting hall, the leaders all put on powerful postures, holding cigarettes in their mouths and looking at the others unhappily. They all knew why Neil had gathered these people, and they also bought information from Alice in private.

Mr. Luke, who came from Raging Waves City, wanted to drop 500 million Reichsmarks in the lower city, 50 million of which had already been given to Mr. Malcolm, and the rest was a target for the five alchemy factories to compete for.

If Mr. Neil can get more money, his group will naturally be able to share a considerable amount of income. How much more or less money they can get depends on how much they can contribute to Mr. Neil.

There were eleven people sitting on one seat. Most of them had suffered more or less physical changes due to the influence of the mysterious energy of the sewage reservoir. Old Adrian sat in the third seat to Neil's left.

His eyes were blood red, and he clenched his hands tightly to suppress the mania in his body.

Neil saw the strange behavior of old Adrian and asked, "Adrian, what's wrong with you? You seem to be feeling unwell!"

"Boss Neil...last night, my workshop was attacked by monsters in the reservoir." Old Adrian took a deep breath. After all, he was too old. The first-generation mysterious material mixture gave his body

The burden it brought was far heavier than others. He endured the pain of the explosion and said to Neil: "The monster is very strong. Three people died in the workshop and the factory was destroyed.

Boss Neil, you know that I have spent all my savings to buy new equipment. Can you lend me some money to repair the factory, and I will be able to pay back the money soon."

Neil held a cigarette between his fingers and said to old Adrian arrogantly: "Adrian, when you borrowed money from me to buy equipment, I advised you... don't invest blindly. Now

The situation is the result of you not listening to my advice.

And when I handed that workshop over to you, I made it very clear that I would not provide you with any help, nor would I ask for any money from you other than mining fees.

You should figure out a way to solve your situation by yourself. In fact, wouldn’t it be better if you brought your people to work with me? Sit in the office, don’t have to worry about anything, and get money every week.”

Old Adrian said: "My people and I have invested too much emotion in that refining workshop, and we are not willing to give it up. I will find a way to pay for the repair of the workshop myself. I just want to ask you, boss, to be kind to me."

The mining fees to be paid will be extended for a few days, and I can make up for it as soon as I make money."

"Adrian, what tone are you talking to me with?" Neil flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said, "If the rules are set, you must abide by them. Otherwise, what's the point of setting them up? This time I will grant you some grace, and others will also grant me grace.

what do I do?

I have so many people here, come and support them for me!"

Neil's words immediately caused an invisible change in the atmosphere of the entire conference room. Most of the leaders sitting here have their own refining workshops, and the time of paying mining fees every month is their biggest headache.

If Neil said this in normal times, everyone would only feel a little uncomfortable and not too dissatisfied. After all, the gang's daily expenses are indeed huge.

But at this time, tens of millions and hundreds of millions of investments are about to be obtained. It is unreasonable for you to be so harsh as the boss.

Everyone looks at the old Adrian now, as if they are seeing their own future. They also realize that it is very likely that they will not get any benefits from this investment.

Since Neil took this position, he has become more and more alienated from everyone. He only took the position after killing the previous boss, and now he is increasingly wary of these old brothers who may threaten him.

It's just that Neil didn't notice the gradually changing atmosphere in the meeting hall. He believed that he could still control these leaders. When Luke's investment was in place, all potential threats could be completely eliminated.

Seeing that old Adrian stopped talking, Neil thought that he was shrinking under the force of his own momentum. Neil changed his tone and said kindly: "Adrian, I believe that with your ability, you can solve all difficulties.

Now let me ask you something, what did Mr. Luke do in your refining workshop?"

Everyone in the meeting hall looked at old Adrian.

Luke and his party were watched by many eyes, so it was no secret that he went to old Adrian's refining workshop.

As for what he did inside, everyone is curious.

Old Adrian took a box from his subordinates behind him. He opened the box and took out a tube of reagent. The reagent was a black-purple color full of evil, and its luster attracted all eyes.

"This is what Mr. Luke left at my place, called the first-generation mysterious material mixture."

Old Adrian said while looking at everyone's reactions.

Apparently they couldn't tell what it was from the name.

Neil laughed loudly: "I knew it, I knew that Luke's purpose of investing in the lower city was not the alchemy factory at all. This is the treasure he was talking about, a treasure that has not yet been developed.

Adrian, Mr. Luke, tell you, what is the function of this mixture?"

"This is the function I am about to present to the boss and everyone."

Old Adrian stood up, his eyes were fully opened, and his eyes glowed like blood. His hair and beard grew, and his fangs protruded from the corners of his mouth, like a real lion.

Old Adrian stared at Neil, and the people between him and Neil realized something was wrong and quickly moved away.

"Boss Neil! Have you seen it? The first generation of mysterious substance mixture can allow people to safely obtain powerful power in a short period of time, and its value far exceeds the alchemical materials refined in your alchemy factory.

This is indeed a treasure. But... it does not belong to you."

Neil felt the hostility of old Adrian, he stood up and angrily said: "Adrian, sit back in your seat. You don't have the strength to challenge me, but your merits can get you a generous bonus.

You can keep your refinery."

Neil's men swarmed around, and Old Adrien's men also pressed forward. Although there were only a few of Old Adrien's men, they were all like hungry beasts, with bloodthirsty light shining in their eyes.

Old Adrian ignored Neil, but said to the other vigilant leaders: "Everyone should be very clear about how Neil has treated us since he sat in this position.

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

He wanted to see Neil's head tonight.

I no longer want to live a life of thinking about how to keep the workshop every day, I want to make a lot of money with Mr. Luke. The first-generation mysterious substance mixture will definitely allow all of us to make a lot of money and live the same wealthy life as uptown.

How do you choose?"

The leaders looked at each other.

Old Adrian and his men were obviously injected with the first-generation mysterious substance mixture. Before knowing how much improvement this medicine could bring to them, it would be a gamble to fight them.

Is Neil still worth fighting for now?

Moreover... just looking at the superficial effects, the first-generation mysterious substance mixture is indeed more valuable than the alchemy materials they worked so hard to refine.

"Back off!"

"Back off!"

"Back off!"

…

The leaders shouted and led their men back cautiously. They decided not to take sides, and they would follow whoever wins.

A seat quickly became vacant in the middle of the meeting hall.

When Old Adrian saw that the group of people who were most threatening to him chose not to intervene, he looked at Neil and said, "Boss, only one of you and I can survive tonight."

After saying that, Old Adrian waved his hand, and his son and Ed led a team to charge towards Neil and his people. Not to be outdone, Neil took a machete from his men and led the team towards Old Adrian.

Adrian.

A life-and-death fight unfolded in the conference hall, with blood splattering everywhere and broken limbs flying everywhere.

The desperate roar almost lifted the roof of the room.

The people around them clenched their weapons and fists, nervously watching the battle. They didn't know who would win and what fate awaited them.

…

After nightfall, Luke sat on the sofa in the living room, waiting for news.

Quicklegs stood by the door, leaning his back against the wall, using his own perception to detect the situation outside.

Princess Dai'er was sitting on another sofa. She used magic manipulation to control a small puppet, fighting against the dark night on the table. In the sword light, the dark shadow was flipping dexterously with a rapier made of sewing needles. The money-greedy goblin hugged

Holding a gold coin, he clapped and cheered hard.

Kuaiji by the door said: "Sir, there are more people outside, and some people are gradually approaching. There are more than just Malcolm and five alchemy factories in the lower city. If some people feel that they have not received money from you,

If you have hope, you will definitely take risks."

Luke watched the dark night and the puppets fighting on the table with great interest, and casually replied to Kuaiji: "Before all my money is sent out, Malcolm and the five alchemy factories will not watch anything happen to me. I want to stand up.

Those who take risks must also take risks with their lives in mind.

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

Quick Legs noticed that the approaching person was stopped by others, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. However, he did not leave, and continued to stay in his position and sense the situation outside.

"Sir...it's so late and you haven't gone to rest yet. Are you waiting for someone?"

Dai'er also looked at Luke and asked: "Yes. From the look of you, it seems that something will happen tonight. If I hadn't been to help you, I would have gone to bed long ago."

Luke looked at Del in surprise: "I thought you were so happy that you didn't want to go to sleep. So you stayed here to help me fight?"

Dai'er showed off her skills by controlling the puppet to speed up the attack frequency, making Dark Night jump up and down. "Do you think I can't fight? My grades in magic practice class and swordsmanship class are very good. As long as you give me the jasmine magic wand, I will let you

See what strength is."

Luke knew what Del was capable of, and the space he gave her to develop was a very terrifying magic turret. But her temperament was too soft, and she might harm others and herself at the critical moment.

"I want to thank you, but it's a pity that I don't have a fight with you tonight. I'm waiting for a gift."

Dai'er asked curiously: "What gift?"

"A gift that is important to me, but not important to you. Go upstairs and go to bed. There are still many things to do tomorrow."

Seeing that Luke was unwilling to say what the gift was, Del was very knowledgeable and did not ask further questions. She released her control on the puppet and let it fall on the table. Then she stood up and lifted up her skirt to say goodbye to Luke: "I'm going to bed.

, don’t sleep too late either…good night!”

"Good night, my princess."

Dark Night put away her sword, and after saluting Luke, she chased Del upstairs.

Seeing that he had nothing to do, the greedy goblin asked Luke: "Master, is there anything you need me to do?"

At this time, Kuaishan whispered alertly: "Sir, someone is coming."

Luke also heard the sound of cars driving. The motorcade stopped outside the door and many people got off.

Luke said to the money-grubbing goblin: "Go and prepare coffee for the guests."

"Yes, Master."

The greedy monster flew to the kitchen, and the doorbell rang at the same time.

Quick Legs looked at Luke and opened the door after receiving approval.

Standing outside the door was a man covered in blood. His naked upper body was covered with shocking wounds, and he was holding a bloody bundle in his hand.

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

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

"Thank you!" Ed said politely, "It did take us a long time and kept Mr. Luke waiting."

Ed walked into the house. He staggered, as if every step he took was using up all his strength. Quick Legs wanted to help him, but was politely refused. He had just participated in the first battle in his life, and he was chopped down.

His whole body was covered with wounds, and he also stabbed the knife into other people's hearts. In this short period of time, he completed his transformation from a protected person to a warrior.

Old Adrian gave me the task of meeting Mr. Luke, and I will never let down the sacrifice of my brothers.

"Mr. Luke..." Ed walked up to Luke, put the bundle in his hand on the table, and opened it to reveal Neil's head: "Adrian has completed your order."

Luke looked at the head on the table, then at Ed who was standing unsteadily, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ed replied: "Uncle Adrian is taking over the alchemy factory. Many of us died, including Sainsbury, who was Uncle Adrian's youngest son. I was sent here probably because I couldn't help there.

What's the matter?"

"Probably..." Luke knew Adrian's intention in asking Ed to come. He did not expose it, but said to Ed: "Sit down, drink a cup of coffee, and let the money-grubbing goblin bandage your wounds."

Ed looked at the clean sofa and said embarrassedly: "No, such a beautiful sofa will not look good if it is stained by me. If you have nothing else to do, Mr. Luke, I will go back first... Uncle asked me to tell you

, he is looking forward to meeting you tomorrow."

"I'm also looking forward to meeting him tomorrow. But if you go back like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to convey my words to Adrian. Sit down, the money-grubbing goblin will clean everything up, and I also want to hear what you guys do

Kill Neil."

Luke bounced a gold coin, and the greedy goblin hugged the gold coin happily: "Master, I will clean everything and bandage the guest's wounds."

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

The greedy goblin brought bandages and medicine, and bandaged the wounds while releasing healing magic. Ed held coffee in his hand, and while drinking, he told Luke how they fought with Neil.

Without the first-generation mysterious substance mixture, the thirty or so of them would have never been able to kill Neil. Even though each of them had been strengthened, the battle was still fierce.

Neil can occupy an alchemy factory, which means he is very powerful. He is also surrounded by many powerful cronies, and he has a large number of people. If the battle was not taking place in the meeting hall, other leaders would deliberately block it.

Support came in from outside, and they were the ones who were killed.

Fortunately, they won. Although they suffered heavy losses, they killed Neil and the other leaders temporarily acquiesced to this fact. Whether old Adrian can secure his position depends on the outcome of his meeting with Luke tomorrow.

He sent Ed to deliver Neil's head. He thought Luke liked this child, so he taught Ed the formula and process of the first-generation mysterious substance mixture. If Luke could accept Ed, he could sit down

of stability.

The greedy fairy bandaged Ed like a rice dumpling, with a bow tied to each bandage.

Luke waited for Ed to finish speaking and then thought about it for a while.

People must not be allowed to stay, and the identity of Princess Dai'er must be kept strictly confidential. Kuaishan and Dark Night can trust her. The money-grubbing goblin is summoned and hired by herself, and she will not talk nonsense to other people, but this is not necessarily the case for Ed.

After all, he was raised by old Adrian.

"Ed, I saw Neil's head. You can just take it with you when you leave. When you go back, tell Adrian that the space here is small and it is not suitable for adding another person. Besides... unless there are special circumstances,

I will never teach anyone the craftsmanship of the first generation of mysterious substance mixtures.

When we meet tomorrow, we will talk about making money with this thing."

Ed understands what Luke means to him. With the exclusive technology of the first-generation mysterious substance mixture, his life will be completely changed.

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

Luke smiled and said: "Adrian said you are a good boy, I believe you. Let's go, your uncle should be waiting for news about you."

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

Quick Legs saw Ed off and waited until the motorcade outside left before closing the door.

He asked in confusion: "Sir, it turned out that what you were waiting for was Neil's head. But how are you sure that Adrian will kill Neil?"

"Some people are destined to be killed, I just gave them a little push." ​​Luke stood up and said to the money-grubbing goblin: "Clean up here, I'm going to bed.

Quick leg, go to sleep, nothing will happen again tonight."

"Yes, sir, good night!"

"Master, good night!"

Luke had a peaceful sleep after seeing Neil's head, but the entire downtown area was causing a huge shock because of Neil's death. Most people didn't know what happened, and could only go through some channels such as

A glimpse of what happened in Neil's Alchemy Factory.

Adrian, with only more than thirty men, killed Neil in front of him.

The first generation of mysterious substance mixtures.

Mr. Luke.

Sewage reservoir treasure.

…

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

What was the first generation of mysterious substance mixture?

What is the treasure in the sewage reservoir?

The former Neil Alchemy Factory and the current Adrian Alchemy Factory are too chaotic inside, making it difficult to obtain accurate information.

But what is certain is that Mr. Luke’s investment is no longer a happy one. Neil used his life to prove that death and fighting have just begun.

The next day, Alice came to Luke's residence early.

She stood in front of the door, looking at the blood stains extending from the roadside to the doorstep, her whole body trembling slightly.

She couldn't figure it out. It must have been the first time for Luke and Adrian to meet yesterday. Why did Adrian kill his boss Neil for Luke? What happened in that closed alchemy room? What was it?

Let Adrien risk the lives of his entire family?

Adrian lost a son in the fight.

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

Alice realized that she had been too presumptuous these days, treating Mr. Luke as a fat sheep who didn't understand downtown. Now it seemed that she was just a pawn being played by Mr. Luke.

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

The more Alice recalled her experience of following Mr. Luke, the more she became afraid that Luke could kill Neil quietly under her eyes. She had seen many murders in the downtown area, but this time she was really scared.

Terrified.

"Mr. Luke!" Upon hearing the doorkeeper's voice, Alice immediately bowed and saluted: "I'm sorry, please forgive me for offending you. I did something that I shouldn't do as your consultant."

"Money-greedy goblin, I asked you to clean up, including the door and yard. Now my shoes are covered in blood!"

Luke stepped out of the door and stepped on a pool of blood. After a night of wind blowing, the blood became very sticky and smelled fishy.

The greedy goblin immediately flew out and used magic to clean up the blood stains on Luke's leather shoes. "I'm sorry, master, please don't take my money. I will clean your territory before you come back."

The leather boots quickly became shiny.

Luke seemed to notice Alice now, and he praised Alice: "No, you didn't offend me. You are definitely the best employee I hired. I never thought that you could complete the tasks I assigned so perfectly."

For your task, I will consider giving you a generous bonus.

Good job."

Alice thought Luke was speaking sarcastically, and said in panic: "I'm sorry, Mr. Luke. I will never sell your secrets as intelligence to anyone else again."

"Secret? What secrets can I have!" Luke, who was in a good mood, swung his cane and walked out: "I am exploring wealth in the lower city, and everyone who is willing to make a fortune together is welcome to participate. You do your job as a consultant, and do your work outside of work.

What, I don’t want to care about it, and I have no right to care about it.”

Quick Legs walked past Alice. "Sir controls everything, and everything is controlled by him. If you can't resist the fear of being dominated, try to accept it.

Let's go... The place we went to today is too bloody, so the gentleman asked the madam to stay at home."

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

yes!

When I realize that I have been dominated these past few days, and that the things I thought I was proud of were actually caused by this person, the fear is really chilling.

Who is he?

Alice got into the car together, and the vehicle started driving towards the Adrian Alchemy Factory.

After Adrian killed Neil last night, the battle here did not end. Neil has occupied this alchemy factory for so many years, and he has naturally cultivated a group of direct descendants who are loyal to him. There are also some who heard that Neil was killed and wanted to

People who want to fish in troubled waters.

After Adrian killed Neil, he gathered the people who surrendered to him and occupied the alchemy factory. He killed the people all night long to eliminate the dissidents.

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

Adrian hung up all the corpses to intimidate everyone and establish his authority when he first came to power.

Luke, who got out of the car, looked at the hanging corpses and the large group of bloody thugs, and couldn't help but laugh: "Adrian killed Neil to get the upper hand, it's a bit arrogant."

Kuaiji said: "Sir, this is a demonstration to you."

"I think it's more like selling for a price. Adrian has no right to protest to me. He just wants to sell himself at a good price. That's fine... he has a good temperament, and this negotiation will definitely go very smoothly.

Let’s go.”

Luke stepped on a pool of blood, splashing blood, and a ignited fire burned up the blood and quickly extinguished it.

The leather shoes are still as shiny as new.
Chapter completed!
