Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 248 Killing Neal (2 in 1)

  After Luke came out of the Neil Alchemy Factory, he ended his trip to other alchemy factories on the grounds that he was in a bad mood. When I got home, I closed the door and saw no visitors.

  Let the situation in the lower city ferment by itself.

  Alice bid farewell to Luke and returned to her bar, which was already full of people who wanted to buy information.

   Alice has never been so happy these two days. Although Mr. Luke's salary is not high, the drinks in his bar are selling very well. There is also exclusive information related to Mr. Luke, which is information that all forces in the lower city will spare no expense to obtain.

  The details of Luke's negotiation with Neil today will soon be on the table of all the bosses.

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

  At the same time, the investment plan of 50 million Reichsmarks proposed by Luke also handed over their bottom lines to the other four alchemy factories. The rest is to compete with each other, get more for yourself, and get less for your opponent.

   It's just that Neil definitely gets a top spot in this competition. Even if it is impossible for him to get all the investment money, as long as he gets 100 million from Mr. Luke, even if the remaining money is divided equally among the four, their strength will increase less than Neil.

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

  A meeting between Luke and Neil made the situation in the lower city suddenly tense. Especially in the area around the sewage reservoir, all parties gathered their hands to prepare for the battle that would break out at any time.

  Neil could of course feel the sudden tense situation in the area of ​​the sewage reservoir.

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

  Once the 50 million investment is finalized, it is tantamount to a death sentence.

   Asking prices all over the sky, and paying back the money when they land. Neil set a small goal of 100 million for himself, trying to get 200 million.

  During the negotiation period, he must guard his basic position to ensure the smooth progress of the negotiation.

  Neil gathered his own people to concentrate in the alchemy factory, and at the same time learned from Alice... what Luke did when he went to the old Adrian.

  Visit the sewage reservoir and the refining workshop of Old Adrian.

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

  Using the alchemy house of Old Adrian, he performed an alchemy on the collected mysterious energy.

   As for the result...

  Alice said: Mr. Luke refused other people to enter. At that time, only he, old Adrian and a repairman were in the alchemy room. After coming out, Mr. Luke did not bring out the results of alchemy, but said that it failed.

   Did it really fail?

  Neil sat on the sofa, holding a glass of wine, thinking, analyzing the information he 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 be his turn to develop 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 task that consumes a lot of manpower, energy and equipment. Even if Luke spends all the 450 million in his hands on the upgrade of the alchemy factory equipment, it is impossible to get an expected profit in a short time.

  Besides, he must know that it is impossible for people like himself to spend all the money on equipment upgrades in the alchemy factory.

  Looking at Luke's abnormal actions 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 untapped 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, employees, and more than 30 people from Ed into the heavily guarded alchemy factory.

   As the elite who built this alchemy factory for Neil, old Adrian and his group are not comparable to ordinary gangsters in terms of stature or momentum.

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

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

   These people are the capital for Neil to gain a foothold in the sewage reservoir in the lower city.

  Neil likes this atmosphere very much, the soldiers are strong and murderous. See Luke tomorrow, and give him such a treat, let him know that Raging City is Raging City, and the lower city is the lower city.

  We are all outlaws!

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

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

  In the meeting hall, the leaders all put on a powerful posture, looking at others with cigarettes in their mouths. They all knew what Neil had gathered these people for, and they also bought information from Alice in private.

  Mr. Luke from Raging City wants to drop 500 million Reichsmarks in the lower city, of which 50 million has already been given to Mr. Malcolm, and the rest is the target of the five alchemy factories.

  Mr. Neil can ask for more money, and his group will naturally be able to share a considerable amount of income. More or less points depends on how much you can do for Mr. Neil.

   There are eleven people sitting on a seat, and most of them are more or less mutated 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 bloodshot, and he clenched his hands tightly to suppress the mania in his body.

  Neil saw old Adrian's abnormal state and asked: "Adrian, what's wrong with you? It seems that you are not feeling well!"

"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 burden to come is much heavier than others. He resisted the pain like an explosion and said to Neil: "The monster is very strong, three people died in the workshop, and the factory building was also destroyed.

  Boss Neil, you know I've blown all my savings on new equipment. Could you lend me some money to fix the factory and I'll pay it back soon. "

With a cigarette in his finger, Neil said proudly to old Adrian: "Adrian, when you borrowed money from me to buy equipment, I advised you...don't invest blindly. The current situation , is the consequence of you not listening to my persuasion.

  And when I handed over the workshop to you, I made it very clear that I will not provide you with help, nor will I ask you for any money except the mining fee.

  Your situation, you find a way to solve it yourself. Actually, wouldn't it be better if you bring your people to work here? Sit in the office, don't worry about anything, get paid every week. "

Old Adrian said: "I and my people have invested too much emotion in that refining workshop, and we are not willing to give up. I will find a way for the money for repairing the workshop. I just want to ask you, boss, to treat me The mining fee to be paid will be given some days, and I can make it up as soon as I earn money.”

"Adrien, what tone are you talking to me!" Neil flicked his cigarette ash: "If you set up a rule, you must abide by it, otherwise what are the rules for? This time I will give you a few days, and the others will also give me a break. what should I do?

  I have so many people here, you come to support me! "

  Neil's words immediately changed the atmosphere of the entire conference room invisible. Most of the bosses sitting here have their own refining workshops, and when they pay the mining fee every month is their most troublesome time.

  If Neil said such things usually, everyone would only feel a little uncomfortable, and there would not be too much dissatisfaction. After all, the daily expenses of the gang are indeed large.

   But at this time, the investment of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions is about to come in hand. As the boss, you are still so harsh, it is too unreasonable.

  Everyone looks at the old Adrian now, as if they are seeing their own future. They also realize that they most likely won't get any benefits from the investment money.

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

   It’s just that Neil didn’t notice the gradually changing atmosphere in the chamber. He thought he could still control these leaders. Once Luke's investment is in place, all potential threats can be completely eliminated.

  Seeing that old Adrian stopped talking, Neil thought that he had retreated under the pressure of his aura. Neil changed his tone and said kindly: "Adrian, I believe that you can solve all the difficulties with your ability. Now let me ask you something, what did Mr. Luke do in your refining workshop?" ?”

   Everyone in the chamber looked at Old Adrian.

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

   As for what he did inside, everyone is curious.

  Old Adrian took a box from the men behind him, he opened the box and took out a tube of reagents. The reagent is a dark purple full of evil, and the luster it emits attracts all eyes.

   "This is what Mr. Luke left with me, called the first generation of mysterious material mixture."

  Old Adrian said while watching everyone's reactions.

   Obviously none of them could tell what it was from the name.

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

  Adrien, Mr. Luke, tell you, what is the function of this potion called a mixture? "

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

  Old Adrian stood up, his eyes were fully open, and his pupils glowed like blood. Hair and beard grew, and tusks protruded from the corners of his mouth, like a real lion.

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

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

   This is indeed a treasure. But...it doesn't belong to you. "

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

  You can keep your refinery. "

  Neil's subordinates swarmed up, and old Adrian's subordinates also pushed forward. Although there are few people in Old Adrian, they are all like hungry beasts, with bloodthirsty rays of light in their eyes.

  Old Adrian ignored Neil, but said to the other vigilant leaders: "Since sitting in this position, everyone should be very clear about how Neil has treated us.

  When Mr. Luke left this tube of potion, he left me a sentence.

  He's going to see Neil's head tonight.

  I don't 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 of mystery substance concoctions will definitely allow us all to make big bucks and live the same affluent lives we live in Uptown.

  How do you choose? "

  The leaders looked at each other.

  Old Adrian and his people were obviously injected with the first-generation mysterious substance mixture. Before knowing how much improvement this medicine can bring them, it is a life bet with them.

  Is the current Neil worth fighting for?

  Besides... just looking at the superficial effect, the first-generation mysterious substance mixture is indeed more valuable than the alchemy materials they painstakingly refined.

   "Stand back!"

   "Stand back!"

   "Stand back!"

  …

  The leaders yelled, leading their subordinates back on guard. They decided not to stand in line, whoever wins they will follow.

   There was a space in the middle of the chamber soon.

  Old Adrian saw that the group of people who threatened him the most chose not to intervene, so he looked at Neil: "Boss, you and I can only have one person alive tonight."

   After finishing speaking, Old Adrian waved his hand, and his son and Ed led the team to rush towards Neil and his people. Not to be outdone, Neil took a machete from his subordinates and led the team towards Old Adrian.

  A life-and-death fight unfolded in the meeting hall, and instantly blood splattered and broken limbs flew around.

  The roar of fighting almost lifted the roof of the room.

  The people around them clenched their weapons and fists, nervously watching the battle in the middle. They don't know who will win and what will happen to them.

  …

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

  Quick legs stood by the door, with his back leaning against the wall, using his perception to detect the situation outside.

  Princess Daier was sitting on another sofa. She used a puppet controlled by magic manipulation to fight against the dark night on the table. In the light of the sword, Shadow flipped deftly with the rapier made of sewing needles. The greedy goblin held a gold coin and applauded vigorously.

The quick leg by the door said: "Sir, there are more people outside, and some of them are gradually approaching. The lower city is not only Malcon and the five alchemy factories, if some people feel that they have not got money from you I hope that I will stand up and take risks."

Luke looked at the dark night and the puppets fighting on the table with great interest, and replied casually: "Until all my money is sent out, Malcon and the five alchemy factories will not watch me have an accident. Those who take risks must also take risks with their lives.

  Don't be so nervous, come sit down and have a drink, someone will take care of the brainless people for us. "

   Kuaileg could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he realized that the approaching person was stopped by others. But he didn't leave, and continued to stay in his position to sense the situation outside.

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

  Daer also looked at Luke and asked, "Yeah. Looking at you, it seems that something will happen tonight. If it wasn't for helping you, I would have gone to bed long ago."

  Luke looked at Dai'er in surprise: "I thought you were having fun and didn't want to go to sleep, so you stayed here to help me fight?"

   Daier's control puppet with a show of skill speeds up the attack frequency, forcing An Ye to jump up and down. "Do you think I can't fight? My grades in magic combat and swordsmanship are very good. As long as you give me the Jasmine Magic Wand, I'll show you what strength is."

  Luke knows Dier's ability, and the room for her to display is a very terrifying magic fort. It's just that her heart is too soft, and she may harm others and herself at critical times.

   "I thank you, but unfortunately there is no fight for you tonight, I am waiting for a gift."

  Daier asked curiously, "What gift?"

   "A gift that is important to me, but not to you. Go upstairs to sleep, there are still many things to do tomorrow."

   Seeing that Luke was unwilling to say what the gift was, Dai Er wisely didn't ask. She let go of the puppet, let it fall on the table, then stood up and said goodbye to Luke with her skirt: "I'm going to sleep, don't sleep too late... Good night!"

   "Good night, my princess."

  An Ye put away her sword, and after saluting to Luke, she chased Dai'er upstairs.

   Seeing that he had nothing to do, the greedy goblin asked Luke, "Master, is there anything I can do?"

   At this time, Kuaileg whispered vigilantly: "Sir, someone is here."

  Luke also heard the sound of cars driving, the convoy stopped outside the door, and many people got off from it.

   Luke said to the greedy goblin: "Go, prepare coffee for the guests."

   "Yes, Master."

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

   Quickly looked at Luke, and opened the door after getting 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 **** bag 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 was very polite: "We did take a long time, and Mr. Luke has been waiting for a long time."

   Ed walked into the house, he staggered, as if using all his strength with each step. Kuaileg wanted to help him, but was politely refused. Just now he participated in the first battle in his life. He was cut all over his body with injuries, and he also stabbed the knife into someone's heart. In this not too long and not too short time, he completed the transformation from a protected person to a fighter.

  Old Adrian entrusted me with the task of coming to see Mr. Luke, and I will never let down the sacrifices of my brothers.

   "Mr. Luke..." Ed walked up to Luke, put the bundle in his hand on the table, opened it and suddenly it was Neil's head: "Adrien 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 is Uncle Adrian's youngest son. I was sent, probably because I couldn't help there What's the matter?"

   "Probably..." Luke knew Adrian's intention for Eddie to come. He didn't expose it, but said to Eddie: "Sit down, have a cup of coffee, and let the money-grubbing goblin bandage your wound."

Ed looked at the clean sofa and said embarrassedly: "No, such a beautiful sofa won't look good if it gets dirty by me. If you have nothing else to do, Mr. Luke, I'll go back first... Uncle asked me to tell, He looks 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 tell Adrian what I said. Sit down, the money-grubbing goblin will clean everything up, and I want to hear how you guys are doing Kill Neil."

  Luke flicked a gold coin, and the greedy goblin happily hugged the gold coin: "Master, I will clean up everything, and I will also bind up the guest's wound."

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

  The greedy goblin brought bandages and medicine, and bandaged the wound while casting healing magic. Ed was holding coffee in his hand, and while drinking, told Luke about their fight with Neil.

   Without the first-generation mysterious substance mixture, the thirty or so people would have absolutely no chance of killing Neil. Even though each of them had strengthened once, the battle was still fierce.

  Neil possesses an alchemy factory, so he is very powerful. He also has many powerful cronies around him, and there are many people. If it wasn't for the fact that the battle took place in the meeting hall, and the other leaders led people to deliberately block the reinforcements coming in from outside, they would have been the ones who were killed.

   Fortunately, they won. Although the loss was heavy, but Neil was killed, and the other leaders temporarily acquiesced to this fact. Whether old Adrian can secure the position he snatched depends on the result of meeting Luke tomorrow.

  He sent Ed to deliver Neil's head. He thought that Luke liked this child, so he taught Ed the formula and process of the first generation of mysterious material mixture. If Luke can take Ed, he can sit still.

  The greedy goblin wrapped Ed like a rice dumpling, and each bandage was tied with a bow.

  Luke waited for Ed to finish talking, after some consideration.

  People must not stay, and the identity of Princess Dai must be kept strictly confidential. Kuaileg and Anye are trustworthy, the money-grubbing goblin is hired by himself, and he won't talk nonsense to other people, but Ed is not necessarily so.

  He was raised by old Adrian after all.

"Ed, I saw Neil's head. You can take it with you when you leave. After you go back, tell Adrian that I have a small space here and it is not suitable for adding another person. Besides...unless there are special circumstances, the first The craft of a generation of mysterious substance mixtures, I will not teach anyone again.

  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 of 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 said with a smile: "Adrien said you are a good boy, I believe you. Let's go, your uncle should be waiting for your news."

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

   Quickly sent Ed away, and waited for the convoy outside to leave before closing the door.

  He asked puzzledly: "Sir, what you were waiting for was Neil's head. But how can you be sure that Adrian will kill Neil?"

   "Some people are destined to be killed by someone, I just gave it a little push." ​​Luke stood up and said to the greedy goblin: "Clean up here, I'm going to bed.

   Go to bed quickly, nothing will happen tonight. "

   "Yes, sir, good night!"

   "Master, good night!"

  Luke had a peaceful sleep because he saw Neil's head, but the whole lower city was causing a huge earthquake because of Neil's death. Most people don't know what happened, and they can only learn about what happened in Neal's Alchemy Factory through some channels.

  Adrien killed Neil face to face with only more than 30 people.

  The first generation of mysterious substance mixture.

   Mr. Luke.

  Sewage tank treasure.

  …

  Various fragments indicate that Neal's death is related to Mr. Luke. Adrian betrayed and killed Neil in order to get something from Mr. Luke.

  What is the first generation of mysterious substance mixture?

  What is the treasure of the sewage tank?

  The former Nier Alchemy Factory, the current Adrian Alchemy Factory is too chaotic inside, and it is 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 the death and struggle had just begun.

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

  She stood in front of the door, looking at the bloodstains extending from the side of the road to the steps of the door, her whole body trembling slightly.

  She couldn't figure it out, Luke and Adrian must have met for the first time yesterday, why did Adrian kill his boss Neil for Luke. What happened in that closed alchemy room, what made Adrian risk the lives of his whole family?

  Adrien died a son in the battle.

  But the blood left here last night means that Adrian doesn't resent Mr. Luke at all. Mr. Luke didn't force him, he killed Neil willingly.

  Alice realized that she was too presumptuous these days, treating Mr. Luke as a fat sheep who didn't understand the lower city. Now it seems that he is just a **** played by Mr. Luke.

  If he wants to kill himself, he probably doesn't even know how he died.

   The more she recalled her experience with Mr. Luke, the more Alice became terrified that Luke could kill Neil quietly under her nose. She saw many murders in the lower city, but this time she was really scared.

   "Mr. Luke!" Hearing the sound of the gatekeeper, Alice immediately bowed and saluted: "I'm sorry, please forgive me for offending you. I did something that I shouldn't do as your advisor."

   "Money-greedy fairy, I asked you to clean up, including the gate and the yard. Now my shoes are full of blood!"

   Luke stepped on a pool of blood as he walked out the door. After a night of wind blowing, the blood became sticky and had a stench.

  The money-grubbing goblin immediately flew out and cast magic to clean the blood on Luke's leather shoes. "I'm sorry, master, please don't deduct my money. Before you come back, I will clean up your territory."

  The leather boots shine quickly.

Luke seemed to have noticed Alice at this point, 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 consider giving you a handsome bonus.

  Do it well. "

  Alice thought that Luke was talking ironically, and said in panic: "I'm sorry, Mr. Luke. I will never sell your secrets as information in the future."

"Secrets? What secrets can I have!" Luke, who was in a good mood, walked out swinging his cane: "I am discovering wealth in the downtown area, and everyone who is willing to make a fortune is welcome to participate. You do your consulting work well, and do it outside of work." What, I don't want to control it, and I have no right to control it."

   Quick legs walked past Alice. "Mister controls everything, everything is controlled by Mr. If you can't fight the fear of being dominated, try to accept it.

  Let's go... The place we went today was too bloody, so Mr. asked Mrs. to stay at home. "

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

yes!

  When I realize that I have been dominated these days, and the things I think I am proud of are actually made by this person, the fear really makes people shudder.

  He, who the **** is he!

  Alice got into the car together, and the car started to drive towards the Adrian alchemy factory.

  After Adrian killed Neil last night, the battle here is not over. 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 people who heard that Neil was killed and wanted to fish in troubled waters.

  Adrien killed Neil, then recruited people who had joined him to occupy the alchemy factory, and killed those who had stayed overnight to eliminate dissidents.

  So when Luke came to the alchemy factory again by car, what he saw was a completely different scene from yesterday.

  Adrien hung up all the corpses to intimidate everyone and stand up for himself in the first place.

   Luke, who got out of the car, looked at the hanging corpses and a large group of blood-soaked thugs, and couldn't help laughing: "Adrien killed Neil, a bit insane."

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

   "I think it's more like a bargain. Adrian is not qualified to demonstrate to me, and only wants to sell himself for a good price. This is also good... I am a temperamental person, and this negotiation will definitely go very smoothly.

  Let's go. "

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

  The leather shoes are still as shiny as new.
