A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

Chapter 18 18. Beginning and Ending
  The next morning, Lao Chen cooked a plate of dumplings for Li Wei.

"Why are your dumplings stuffed with beef and mushrooms?" Levi ate one, frowned, then turned around and pointed.

"Eat it or not, but you can't buy cabbage or green onions here. That's all the foreign devils want. What can I do?"

Old Chen scolded him, turned around and greeted the guests with a smile and said "Mist, Se'er".

Today is a dumpling special, with three flavors: beef mushroom, lamb cheese and chicken onion.

In comparison, beef and mushrooms are already the most acceptable to Levi.

As the heat rises, Lao Chen is busy serving the dishes. Foreigners in Phoenix are accustomed to spreading a layer of tomato meat sauce on the dumplings before eating them.

All I can say is that we really don’t appreciate it.

Also eating were some of Levi's former coworkers. They were surprised and asked how you had become so respectable after not seeing you for a few days.

Li Wei answered them that he had found a rich relative and was now preparing to join him.

The co-workers, including the noisy foreman, couldn't help but lament Levi's good luck, and at the same time regretted why they didn't have such good relatives.

Li Wei was quite moved as he ate the dumplings that looked familiar and tasted strange.

Although Lao Chen didn't say it, he knew that this foreign dumpling feast was prepared for him. People in the north of Seris are all about putting dumplings in front of the door. It is impossible for Lao Chen not to pay attention to this.

Li Wei looked at Lao Chen lovingly and said that you are such a good man, Siris. If he had been a woman a few years earlier, you would have been the one to marry him.

Lao Chen rolled his eyes at him and repeatedly stated that he just wanted to change the menu for the chop suey shop.

Levi took the initiative to ignore it.

After eating and drinking, Levi put the usual 5 cents on the table and said, "I'm leaving."

After hearing no response for a while, Levi laughed, put on his dark brown coat, put on his hat, and opened the door of the chop suey shop.

……

Not far after he walked out, Li Wei saw Sun Mouse approaching with a thief smile.

Levi knew what he was doing. A few hours ago, Levi gave this kid the car he got from the gang and asked him to help sell the stolen goods.

Although he told the gang that he was borrowing it, it was obviously impossible for Levi to return it.

Sun Xiaozi said bluntly: "Brother Li Wei, I had someone look at the car you gave me, and the buyer said there was something wrong with it..."

"What, is there something wrong with the car?" Levi asked.

"No, no, the car is a good car. It's a brand new Foday T3, but the original owner has some problems." Sun Xiaozi said with a smile, "This is a gang's car. We are not like Brother Li Wei who dares to fight against the gang, so we bought this The risk of the car is really too high, and the buyer has to keep the price down.”

"Let's be honest. How much did he pay in the end?"

"180 Philippine dollars... He originally quoted 150. This is what I came up with after working hard for a long time." Sun Mouse gestured eight with his left hand and one with his right hand.

The ex-factory price of a brand-new Foday T3 is about 260 Philippine dollars. Even if it is sold second-hand, it should be more than 200 Philippine dollars.

However, this car has a bright future after all, so it is true that the price has been kept low.

"We agreed, 30-70?" Sun Moazi asked cautiously when he saw that Li Wei had no objection.

"Row."

"okay!"

Sun Xiaozi took out his wallet, counted 126 Philippine dollars and handed it to Levi.

"I'll just take care of the follow-up. Brother Li Wei, don't worry about it."

Levi put the money into his wallet, nodded, and reminded again.

"By the way, something may happen to the Bridgewick gang. Please be careful and ask Lao Chen in detail."

Sun Mouse realized that this was Li Wei reminding him, so he quickly agreed.

"And this..." Levi took out two more 50-dollar bills from his wallet and slapped them on Sun Moazi's hand.

"Take this money. I'm leaving this city. I won't be able to come back in a short time. Please help me take care of Lao Chen and other fellow villagers. Don't always bully men and dominate women."

Sun Moazi was stunned for a moment while holding the money, and then said.

"How can I not, Brother Li Wei..."

"Do not worry."

"Okay, I believe you." Levi nodded, and then said, "I'm leaving."

Sun Xiaozi shouted "Bon voyage" and waved to a nearby rickshaw.

It was the same young man yesterday. After he asked Li Wei where he was going, he picked him up and ran with his head down, bringing with him a gust of breeze.

……

The "Businessman" is sitting in his office, with sunlight streaming in through the blinds.

He was sitting on a wide and soft office chair, and next to him stood another deputy of the gang, 1D's [Bodyguard].

He was listening to his subordinates report the results of yesterday's investigation into the cafe.

"According to Owens, Lee opened fire when he spotted them. Owens was closest to Lee at the time. After he used witchcraft to injure Lee, he was shot by him and fell to the ground incapacitated."

"Then, Lee used some kind of witchcraft to control Henshaw and Owens. Bruno broke away from the control, struggled with Levi, and was eventually stabbed through the neck brutally by him." He came over, but then he was shot by Li in the right chest, and then he was shot again in the forehead, and he died immediately."

"We only found one type of bullet, which may prove that only one pistol was fired at that time. According to the bullet type and Owens' description, Lee used a Webley VI pistol."

The member said, but the "businessman" had no intention of listening.

Webley revolvers are not common in the United States, but they are not so rare that they have any special meaning.

Besides, Levi must have left Bridgewick now and is floating on some ship at sea.

Bruno and Henshaw had been dealt with, the former having betrayed the gang and could not be buried, his body being thrown into the Dwamish River.

Henshaw was buried and his family received 100 Philippine dollars in compensation.

The remaining two hundred francs were given to Owens and others who were related to Bruno but still obeyed the gang.

He rubbed his temples. The most important thing now was to select a new deputy to take Bruno's place.

As for the candidate... the "businessman"'s eyes fell on Owens sitting on the sofa. He called Owens over to discuss his reward.

"Owens, I remember you were already 2D before." "Businessman" said.

"Yes," Owens replied.

The "Businessman" nodded lightly with satisfaction. Owens was very smart, and at the same time his strength and experience were enough to convince the crowd, and more importantly, he was loyal enough.

"Go find a suitable target for Owens and help him hunt down a D-level wizard so that he can be promoted to 1D." "Businessman" ordered, then turned to Owens.

"Then, when your hunt is complete, you will be the new deputy, taking Bruno's place."

Owens listened quietly, a smile gradually appearing on his lips.

As long as, as long as, I keep it hidden for a while.

He can become C-level without anyone noticing.

When the time comes...Owens looks at the "businessman" respectfully, and when the time comes, he will be his target...

"Okay, you guys go do your own thing."

The "Businessman" waved his hand and asked the other members to leave the office. After finishing his business, he planned to go to his mistress's house.

Owens was the first to leave. He opened the office door and was about to walk out.

But then, he found a strange man standing outside the door.

He is a middle-aged man with deep eyes, wrinkles on his face, and white temples.

He was wearing an old black windbreaker, and his whole body seemed to be shrouded in shadow.

Owens was a little confused. Logically speaking, it was impossible for anyone other than gang members to appear here.

"Are you..." Owens was about to ask.

The strange man in front of him smiled and said: "Are you a wizard? The rating is good. Are you a beast, a professional or a delusion?"

"It's...professional department." Owens felt a kind of oppression from the other party, leaving a drop of cold sweat on his forehead, and answered subconsciously.

"Really?" The strange man smiled and patted his shoulder, "It's okay, let's go."

Walk? Owens looked at him quizzically.

The other party didn't seem to be here to find him...but it didn't look like the leader knew a guest was coming.

In any case, the fact that he can sneak in here proves that he is definitely not a simple character.

Don't stay here for long.

Owens made a quick decision, saying nothing and planning to leave as if nothing had happened.

Perhaps due to nervousness, Owens felt that his legs were a little stiff and uncontrollable.

After walking a few steps, Owens saw another member of the gang approaching.

"Hey..." Owens was about to remind him that there was something going on in the office.

Then, he found that the person walking towards him suddenly opened his eyes wide when he saw him, with a look of horror on his face, as if he had seen something terrifying.

what happened?
  By the way, my feet are indeed a bit unruly. What happened?

Owens looked down.

He saw cracks spreading across his body one after another. His body became hard and brittle, like a doll made of inferior pottery.

Owens was stunned for a moment. He recalled the strange man just now, and a sense of fear arose spontaneously.

No, no, no... He can't die here. He is just a little bit away from becoming a new C-class, waiting for an opportunity to replace the "Businessman" and become the new leader of the Bridgewick Gang. He can't die here when everything is about to happen. Die at the beginning...

"Help..." Owens quickly raised his hand to call for help, but in shock, his center of gravity was unstable and his body leaned forward uncontrollably.

With a crisp sound, Owens fell to the ground, his body shattered into pieces, and his internal organs and blood flowed out, like liquid from a broken clay pot.
