Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 76 Uninvited
At 12:15, Li Lin, Vander, Benso, and Sevica brought a few strong and burly men to the plant cultivation center area on the upper floor of Zaun.

The place where the alchemy barons agreed to meet was a clock tower-like building.

It is mainly made of steel grids as a whole, with huge dark green floor-to-ceiling glass windows. There are occasionally several copper-colored mechanical gears of different sizes exposed on the walls, which rotate slowly day and night.

A group of people took the external elevator and went all the way to the top floor of the building.

After exiting the iron gate of the elevator, there is a corridor with floor-to-ceiling glass decorated with Zaun style bronze patterns on both sides.

At the end of the corridor, there are at least 20 differently decorated gangsters outside a brown-red door.

They chatted and farted in groups of three and two, and some guys who didn't fit in well sat in a corner away from the crowd, playing with daggers, darts and other weapons in their hands.

Among them, there are many who have been transformed by alchemy technology, and some parts of their bodies have been replaced with mechanical reinforcements.

As soon as they saw Li Lin and Van der's group, more than 20 people were silent for an instant, and their eyes were all focused on them, with different expressions.

However, most people's eyes stayed on Li Lin for more time.

When everyone came to the door, Fandel explained to Benso, Sevica and several other subordinates, telling them to stay outside and not to conflict with these people.

Afterwards, van der led the way, pushed open the door and walked straight into the hall, followed by Li Lin, who was wearing the armor of the "Infinite" source plan.

There were nine people in the room, two of whom were dressed as servants and looked after a weak woman in a wheelchair.

She was implanted with multiple augmentation devices filled with alchemy potions and connected by catheters.

Hearing the knock of the door, the people in the room who were discussing something fell silent.

After seeing the visitor clearly, a man with a punk haircut, a yellow leather jacket with metal spikes, and an open-chested man sitting directly opposite the gate said:

"Vander, you're late."

His voice is a bit like a smoky voice, hoarse and deep, and he is playing with a golden flip lighter in his hand.

Li Lin narrowed his eyes, and carefully observed this murderous man who was vaguely headed by him.

His face, shaved half of his head and chest are covered in black tattoos similar to the Bilgewater Baju style.

An implanted alchemy-tech augmented metal mandibular plate was installed on his chin.

Combined with the pair of eyes that are not too big but revealing a hint of fierceness, it gives people a very unfriendly feeling.

On the way here, Fandel gave Li Lin a general introduction to the five alchemy barons he knew.

The one who spoke was Finn who was in charge of the frontier market.

"Just under 20 minutes... After all these years, you're still so impatient, Finn."

Fandre didn't seem to hear the dissatisfaction in Finn's tone, he walked to the other end of the long table opposite him, pulled out the chair and sat down.

Li Lin also found a chair from one side to sit beside Fandre, causing the complexions of the alchemy barons present to change.

When Van der and Finn had their first secret verbal confrontation, Li Lin's eyes quickly swept over everyone.

First to Finn's right was a brown-haired yordle in a top hat and tuxedo.

He is in charge of Barritt, the Academy of Thaumaturgy and Magic.

Sitting next to Barrett was a woman whose nose had been transformed into an alchemy technology augmentation device, which was connected to two conduits for transporting green liquid, and a metal plate was installed on her chin.

This is Rennie, the Alchemist Baron of the Plant Cultivation Center.

Sitting next to Rennie is a woman wearing a mink coat, her left arm has been transformed into a sharp blade like the arm of Edward Scissorhands, and she has a chilling smile on her face.

The image of the woman in the wheelchair opposite her did not match what Van der described. It should be the newly promoted Alchemist Baron Voss and Mrs. Lanner that Sevica said.

As for the woman with smoky makeup on Finn's left hand and a lot of piercings on her face, and the sickly pale man beside her, who seems to be over-indulgent, they are Bonnie, who monopolizes the Zaun dance hall, and Lang, who is in charge of Sutai Plaza. Filo.

Except for Voss and Lanner, the other four Vander's old acquaintances looked at Finn from time to time, as if he was the leader of the meeting.

After Li Lin observed the crowd, he looked away, and Fandre's hypocritical greetings with the alchemy barons were almost the same.

"Let's get down to business, Van der, what are you planning to do with us?" Ren Ni asked with a slightly disturbed expression, glancing at Li Lin beside Van der.

Immediately after, the yordle, Barrett, answered, "Yeah, you guys have a lot of business on hand, and every minute wasted is money."

"We don't stay in a safe dark alley every day like you, and someone pays you money every month. We have to rely on ourselves for food and drink."

Bonnie lit a cigarette and took a puff, exhaling a smoke ring. Although his face was flattering, his voice was very cold.

The three of them took the lead in verbally attacking Van der as if they had discussed it in advance.

Van der, who should still be thinking about the old relationship, saw their attitude so warm, and his warm heart gradually cooled down.

"Why? As brothers and sisters who have worked hard together until now, don't you even want to see each other now?" He had a low voice and looked unhappy.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was gradually developing in an uncontrollable direction, Longfellow hurriedly rounded up the situation, "Hahaha, I am willing, of course I am willing, the boss's business is our business."

Finn snorted softly to express his impatience, "So Van der, what happened and you have to have a meeting to talk about it?"

With a flick of his fingers, he closed the lid of the lighter that ignited the flame, put down his two legs crossed on the table, leaned forward, and stared straight at Fandre.

Originally, Finn's questioning when they first met and his behavior just now were considered extremely disrespectful.

There was already some anger in Vander's heart, and when he was provoked by him again, his temper suddenly jumped up, "For the development of Zaun, is this enough?"

He slapped the table with a gloomy expression, his voice even more dull.

The conference hall fell into a moment of silence.

clap clap clap...

A few claps broke the silence in the room.

It was Lanner, who had been silent until now, who clapped his hands.

There was a forced smile on her sallow face, as if it had exhausted all her strength.

"For the sake of Zaun's development... I haven't heard that phrase in years."

Mrs. Voss, opposite Lanner, chuckled a few times in a hoarse voice, "I thought that the leader of Zaun, known as the Black Hound, had already been scared by the upper city. I didn't expect you to still remember the dream?"

Her tone and the content of her words sounded like sarcasm at first glance, and Vander's face turned dark all of a sudden.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm used to talking like this, and I can't change it for a while." Voss noticed Vander's expression and explained with a smile.

This woman is not kind...

The other people present had such an idea in their minds.

However, Finn and Bonnie had teasing smiles on their faces, as if they were happy to see Van der deflated.

But Rennie, Barrett, and Longfellow didn't look very good.

Even if they were dissatisfied with Van der's leadership, they would not allow an outsider to meddle in their internal affairs.

"Aren't you the sons and daughters of Zaun?" Li Lin asked first before the furious Fandre broke out.

The alchemy barons were stunned for a moment, and their eyes turned to Li Lin who was sitting beside Fandre at the same time.

"Hey, this iron bump is not a robot?" Finn flexibly turned the lit lighter with his fingers, "Vandel, have you trained a successor?"

Immediately afterwards, his eyes were sharp, and the topic changed, "It seems that he still has a lot to learn, such as...don't interrupt when adults are talking."

"Hmph! Finn, you..."

The annoyed Vander had just spoken when he felt his shoulder being lightly pressed by a palm.

He turned around differently, "Li Lin? You are..."

"Let me speak." Li Lin's mechanical voice came out from the mask.

Afterwards, he slowly got up and manipulated "Infinity" to enter the [Overcharge] state.

Suddenly, a blue light appeared on the power armor.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, several alchemy barons were startled and entered a state of alert.

"Why... do you still want to do it?" Finn stood up abruptly, and took out an alchemy pistol from his pocket.

But before the two sides could take any action, the door creaked again, and a thin man with one eye like a devil walked in.

Outside the door behind him, Benso who was full of anger and cursing, Sevica with a cold face, and Van der's subordinates were all stopped by the strong men brought by the man.

"Hey, where are the big guys chatting?" The man laughed and said hello to the people present.

"Shirko..."
