Chapter 146 Relief
After all, they look so similar, have the same surname, and are still in Dock Town...

The probability of this is really quite high.

Chi Heng hesitated, and didn't really venture to ask Doliv, are your ancestors witches who were executed?
He continued to browse the back of the page and found that there was not much useful information. He closed the page and looked at the cover—"Dark Ages", the author is unknown.

He was sure he didn't take out this book, otherwise he must have been very impressed with the title.

"Is it already 17 o'clock in the afternoon?"

For almost one afternoon, Chi Heng did not find any clues about the magic bottle, but was taken aback. He was in one of the six dangerous areas mentioned in the old uncle's notes. He already felt uncomfortable all over, got up and put down the book, cried, "Miss Douriver?"

"Huh? Is there something wrong?"

Dourif poked his head out from the bookshelf.

"Please put these books back in their original places. I still have something to do."

"No problem, this is my duty."

Dollif nodded.

"Thank you."

While thanking Chi Heng, he walked towards the library gate.

"He's actually a very friendly guy."

Doliv raised his glasses with nose bridge, and came to the desk to tidy up a stack of books, "Hey, this building block? Did he forget to take it away?"

A building block in the shape of a quadrangular pyramid, with strange symbols all over the surface, is quietly placed among many books. Once you take a look at it, it is hard to forget such a strange building block.

Doliv picked up the building blocks suspiciously, looked left and right, thought that he didn't have Chi Heng's contact information, so he had to put it aside for the time being, and wait for Chi Heng to return it to him next time.

After leaving the gate of the library, Chi Heng looked at the time again. It was close to 17:12 in the afternoon. He didn't want to delay any more and was going to go home directly.

Unexpectedly, when he walked to the parking lot opposite the library, he found three people holding paintbrushes and painting on his pickup truck.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Chi Heng asked.

The three of them turned their heads and saw that it was Chi Heng, the owner of the car. They immediately carried the bucket and ran away. As a result, the black youth who was running with the bucket fell too flustered. Half of the bucket of paint splashed on him.

The other two youths panicked, had no intention of going to rescue their companions, and quickly disappeared across the road.

Chi Heng walked up unhurriedly, and the black youth who fell a little hard shouted in horror: "I didn't do it, don't come over!"

"Do you find this explanation useful?"

Chi Heng pointed to the car body, where a line of writing was painted in red paint—Drop dead!

He approached the black youth on the ground, but before he could "make a move", two adult strong men came over, "Outsiders, don't even try to bully the people of Dock Town."

The two adult strong men were Kongwu powerful, and their eyes were round when they stared at Chi Heng, and they seemed to be rolling up their sleeves to do something.

The black youth took the opportunity to get up and run away.

With these two grown men blocking him, Chi Heng didn't go after him, "Are you guys blind? Do you think I'm bullying him?"

"Outsiders, this is just a small punishment and warning. If you choose to stay here, we don't rule out that there will be more warnings."

The two strong men sneered, their size alone was a head taller than Chi Heng, and they had the physical foundation to play in the NBA.

If he had just come to Dock Town, Chi Heng would have flinched because of fear at this time, but at this moment he has no fear in his heart. Compared with his experience of several months, human beings are extremely cute, and there is no fear at all.

He was willing to back off because he saw a Lincoln approaching.

It was a familiar Lincoln.

Sure enough, it was Hans the butler of Aldas Manor who got out of the Lincoln car.

His sudden arrival was beyond the expectations of the two strong men.

"Gentlemen, you should know me... I am the steward of Aldas Manor."

Hans wore a neat suit and held a gold-plated civilized staff, looking like an English nobleman.

In contrast, the two strong men in undershirts looked like kiln workers. When they saw Hans appearing, they stood restlessly and cautiously, and when Hans spoke, they immediately nodded like children: "Mr. Hans, we know you. "

"It's good to know me," Hans nodded slightly, "You two, Mr. Chi is the distinguished guest of the owner of our Aldas Manor, Mrs. Aldas does not want the townspeople to have any misunderstanding with him, and I hope you understand. "

The expressions of the two strong men changed, but they didn't dare to say a word. They nodded like quails. After Hans agreed, they turned around and left.

"Mr. Chi, I just went to Lake Shea and found that you were not at home. I thought you might be in town..."

Hans then faced Chi Heng with a smile.

"I'm a little curious... Are people in Dock Town afraid of the Aledas family?"

Chi Heng asked in surprise.

"Mr. Chi, this is not fear, but respect."

Hans said sternly: "The Aldas family owns shares in important industries in Dock Town, such as the Winchester Machinery Company, which employs hundreds of people. , the nursing homes, hospitals, and banks in the town are all controlled by the Aldas family, and the Aldas family provides welfare funds for some unemployed and disabled people."

When Chi Heng heard this, he immediately understood, isn't this equivalent to a king?It makes no difference at all to say that the Aldas family is the king of Dock.

Moreover, the main asset of the Aldas family is not in Dock Town, it is just an insignificant extension of their assets. Their main assets are in New York and on the West Coast.

"Mr. Chi, please get in the car and talk."

Hans invited Chi Heng to get into the Lincoln car, and handed him a suitcase in person. When he opened it, there were neat banknotes inside, "This is the 100 million cash you requested."

The $100 million bill weighs about 10.5 kilograms, which is heavy in the hand.

"For another 4900 million US dollars, we have opened a VIP account for you with Citibank with your identity information. If you want, professional personnel will contact you every month. You can choose Merrill Lynch International Investment Fund, Structured investment accounts, overseas bond series for financial management, specific VIP services, detailed information here..."

A large stack of materials that Hans took out was packed in another suitcase. Just looking at the number of pages, let alone hundreds of pages, it would take two or three months to understand the contents and finish reading them.

Chi Heng was still in a daze, did he realize the freedom of life and wealth so easily?
He is only 23 years old...

But from another perspective, the price of this kind of wealth and freedom in life is not simple.

It's not so easy to get it. To put it bluntly, it's life in exchange.But the reason is this, how many lives in this world are worth 5000 million US dollars?

In this country, more than tens of thousands of people die from shootings every year, and too many people are willing to exchange their lives for thousands of dollars.
