Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

The Whistling Guards in this period were not particularly well-known, and their products were relatively unorthodox and only suitable for a small number of people. Their subordinate knights were always hovering between second-rate and third-rate. With Li Ang's performance just now, they are also the mainstay of the Whistling Knights. , the treatment is naturally very generous.

When Li Ang looked at the contract in his hand, the lounge gradually became quiet.

Manna sat on the sidelines, still hesitating in her heart, wondering if she should propose a cooperation.

Suddenly, he felt a very weak source stone fluctuation covering the two of them together, and the source of the spell was Li Ang who was sitting opposite.

At some point, Li Ang had already put the draft contract in his hand on the table, and said to Manna calmly.

"Mr. Manna, I know you're hiding something about yourself."

"Now, let's talk openly."

Chapter 28 Transactions

This is Leitania's origin stone technique...

Manna recognized the origin of this spell at a glance, because he also possessed a spell with similar effects.

The effect of the spell is also very simple, which is to cover up movement within a certain range. During the effective period of the spell, most of the sounds cannot penetrate this layer of magic barrier. Unless they directly break in, no one can hear the conversation between the two of them. .

"What do you think I'm hiding?" Manna didn't panic, but asked indifferently.

"For example, your own strength, identity and so on," Li Ang shrugged, "Mr. Manner's strength? Why do you want to hide in a small company with no reputation? Let me guess... right? Something to do with a business alliance?"

"Also, Mr. Manna, what you want to talk to me about should be related to competitive knights, right?"

If you have Manna's strength, you can live very well in most places in the world of Terra, but according to Li Ang's observation, Manna's life is not at all moist.

It's okay to be an employee in a small company, but he still has to endure the shouting and shouting of that fat pig boss every day, which is not something anyone can bear.

So Li Ang deduced that Manna was probably trying to make some people relax their vigilance through self-inflicted abuse.

In Casimir, how many forces can suppress a powerful knight in this way?It is nothing more than one of the four forces that jointly govern Casimir.

Puppets like the National Council were the first to be ruled out, and the Knights Association remained neutral. Among the two options, the Supervisory Committee and the Commercial Alliance, Li Ang felt that the probability of being a Commercial Alliance was higher.

"...Hmph." Manna snorted, acquiescing to Li Ang's guess.

After being exposed, Manna did not talk nonsense, but said directly, "Let's make a deal, shall we? Don't you need money very much now? As long as you fulfill my request, I will give you money for the rest of your life." Not enough money."

"Let's talk about your request first." Li Ang asked very vigilantly.

After all, Manna's statement... made Li Ang feel a little subtle, as if he was writing a blank check to deceive others.

It's money that can't be spent in a lifetime, let alone whether he can take it out, even if Manna can really take out so much money, whether Li Ang can earn the money is still a question.

There are not so many pies in the world, the benefits are usually proportional to the risks, and the money can't be spent in a lifetime... Could it be that he is going to attack the Supervisory Commission?

"I need you to help me investigate some information," Manna said.

"Ball Pharmaceuticals, you should have heard of this company. They are testing a new type of drug among competitive knights. It is not convenient for me to come forward in my capacity. I need you to help me get a sample of this drug. It is best if you can Get the details of the drug."

"With your strength, as long as you can win a few more games, Ball Pharmaceuticals should send someone to contact you soon."

Li Ang couldn't help raising his eyebrows, thinking that the money really wasn't easy to earn.

Ball Pharmaceuticals... Not long ago, Li Ang had indeed heard about this company in the news. It is the leader of Casimir's pharmaceutical industry. It is not easy to investigate something from them.

Still, why investigate Ball Pharmaceuticals?Could it have something to do with the intrusion of Ball Pharmaceuticals' laboratory some time ago?Which side is standing behind Manna?

Li Ang put one hand on his chin, and the knuckles of the other hand lightly tapped the armrest of the sofa, making a regular clicking sound.

After pondering for a long time, Li Ang asked, "Can I find out who is behind you? Investigating Ball Pharmaceuticals... This is not a good job. If something happens to the public, it may disturb the commercial alliance. I can't stop it." Can't stand their retaliation."

"This is not something you should care about." Manna said lightly, "You just need to know that even if something happens, we have the ability to take you, the Kuhns, and those who came here with you A little girl sent here."

"...Are you a threat?"

"It's just telling the truth. Before negotiating conditions, we always have to find out a person's background."

The atmosphere in the lounge cooled down for a while, and Manna didn't explain much, but just sat there quietly waiting for Li Ang's reply.

In fact, when it comes to this, the forces behind Manna are already obvious. Apart from the Supervisory Commission, which other forces in Casimir can counter the huge business alliance.

In other words, Manna's entrustment is just a microcosm of the conflict between the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the business association.

So, do you want to accept this commission?

After thinking for a while, Li Ang decided to listen to the other party's offer first, "So, what is the specific remuneration?"

"After the matter is completed, how about a large manor led by the great knight? If you don't want the manor, you can also exchange it for equivalent Casimir gold coins."

Hearing the quotation from Manna, I have to admit that Li Ang was a little moved.

If the prize money for entering the Grand Prix is ​​enough to repay the money that Professor Walker lent them, and then go to the next country, the price of a manor for a great knight may be more than ten times higher than this basis, and the follow-up will be soon For a long time, he will not worry about money.

After leaving Casimir, a country that has been corrupted to the bone by capital, it is still a question of whether he can earn so much money in the future.

Done!It's a big deal to run away with someone, anyway, it's not the first time he has run away.

"Then, I need to know the specific details, such as the relevant information of Ball Pharmaceuticals, how you can ensure that your affairs will not be detected by the commercial alliance, how to ensure that the reward will be handed over to me after the task is completed, and what if something happens? If we are exposed, how can we ensure our safe evacuation." Li Ang pointed out the most critical issues in this transaction.

"It seems that you agreed? Not bad." Manna nodded slightly, and then reminded, "But these things can be discussed later, we have been here for a long time."

Staying in the lounge for a while, you can say that you are thinking about those contracts. If you stay for too long, it will inevitably arouse some people's suspicions. These are details that may be revealed afterwards.

Li Ang accepted this statement. Just as he and Manna were about to leave first, there was a knock on the door outside the lounge, and a middle-aged man's voice clearly fell into their ears.

"Excuse me, is player Li Ang still there? I'm the spokesperson of Ball Pharmaceuticals, and I want to talk to you about something."

Chapter 29 A little thought

Good guy...is he actually from Ball Pharmaceuticals?

Just after discussing the matter of Ball Pharmaceuticals with Manna on the front foot, Ball Pharmaceuticals took the initiative to send someone to the door, which made Li Ang wonder whether the two of them had colluded long ago.

However, in Li Ang's perception, Manna frowned obviously, as if he was also surprised by this person's arrival.

Then Manna made a gesture to Li Ang, signaling him to go to open the door, and Manna himself slowly retreated to a dead corner of the lounge, and a very obscure Originium energy reaction gradually enveloped his whole body.

At this time, Li Ang was surprised to find that Manna's sense of existence had become extremely thin. Even if he was within the range of perception, if Li Ang did not actively explore his hiding place, he would not be able to find his existence at all.

From the perspective of ordinary people, it is even more difficult to detect the existence of Manna. He is almost integrated with the surrounding environment. Without some special methods, it is impossible to detect traces of his existence by sight alone.

This level of concealment method... No wonder Manna is confident to hide from the eyes and ears of the business association.

Although Li Ang seemed to have misunderstood something subtly, Manna really didn't intend to appear on this occasion.

It is true that the commercial alliance's monitoring of him is getting weaker and weaker. In the end, he was even completely delegated to the Wuzhou League, but he still wanted to erase the traces of his own existence as much as possible. The spokesperson sent over might know of his existence.

After confirming that Manna would not show up, Li Ang stood up, walked over and opened the door of the lounge.

A middle-aged man stumbled and squeezed in through the crack of the door, as if he was afraid that Li Ang would suddenly close the dream.

"I'm sorry, sorry, I'm here to find Knight Li Ang, is he free now?"

"I'm Li Ang, what do you want from me?"

The man straightened up, looked at Li Ang in surprise, and then asked, "Well, isn't your manager here?"

"He's off to deal with those annoying reporters. If you have anything to say, you can talk to me directly." Li Ang made up a random reason, hiding the existence of Manna, "I can make a decision."

"This is the best, then please allow me to waste some of your time." The man breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to wrangling with those annoying managers, it is easier to communicate directly with the competitive knight himself. It seems that although he came a bit late, he is lucky.

"First of all, let me introduce myself. I am Adam, the spokesperson of Boer Pharmaceuticals. Not long ago, the company heard about your performance in the No. [-] arena, so I sent me to contact you and ask if you have any cooperation with our company. will."

"I still have some time today, let's sit down and talk." Li Ang pointed to the sofa beside him and said.

Li Ang and the man who called himself Adams sat back on the sofa, while Manna had been watching coldly in the corner of the room without giving any hints or suggestions. In this case, Li Ang planned to carry on the conversation at his own pace. .

"I want to ask, what exactly do you mean by cooperation? In fact, people from Wind Howl Guard and Brilliant Shield have also come here just now, and they all offered me a specific contract." Li Ang pointed to the paper on the table. those two documents.

Adams hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Excuse me... can I have a look at these two contracts?"

Li Ang nodded.

His purpose now is not to extract more benefits from Ball Pharmaceuticals, but how to infiltrate their company without arousing suspicion, so it doesn't hurt to let him look at the contract.

It sounds good to eat both ends, but in practice it is very difficult.

After getting Li Ang's permission, Adams picked up the two contracts on the table, and quickly browsed through them.

"So that's it. I've read these two contracts."

"The conditions offered by the Howling Guards are not bad. From my personal point of view, if you like their company's armor, sir, I suggest you sign this contract. This does not conflict with our company's contract."

"And this contract from Brilliant Shield Industry... To be honest, it's a bit harsh. It seems that they didn't recognize your strength."

"But we at Ball Pharmaceuticals are different. We have seen your potential. We have a very complete rookie knight training system. As long as you can choose to join us, we will strongly support you in this special championship With the help of our Ball Pharmaceuticals, you have a high probability of entering the quarterfinals of this year's major."

The quarter-finals of the Special Championship... This is already a very high expectation. Even the veteran knights of Casimir may not guarantee that their players will enter the quarter-finals.

"But I'm not a native of Casimir, and I have signed a contract with other companies. Even so, is it okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, these small things are easy to discuss, even if the contract is signed, can't you still terminate the contract? This is a normal business activity approved by the business union, and it's okay if you are not a local. I believe you will like this country."

Adams' eloquence is really good. If he didn't know his purpose clearly, Li Ang would have been stunned by the conditions he offered.

Li Ang interrupted Adams, who was still chattering, "I already know what you said, but I want to confirm that even if I join your knight order now, my status in the knight order should not be high, and there is no way to get it." Your full support, right?"

"Well, that's right in principle." Adams said with a guilty conscience.

"It doesn't make much sense to sign a contract now. I'm not interested in starting from the bottom, so that's fine. If I can achieve better results in the future, do you guys have to revise the treatment of this contract?" ?”

Li Ang made no secret of his desire for money and power. For these businessmen, talents in need are easier to control.

Adams froze for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment, "This... this is beyond my authority, and I can't give an answer now."

"That's it. You can report this matter to the authorized person. Now I want to know, apart from financial support, what kind of help Ball Pharmaceuticals can bring me that other companies don't have."

Hearing Li Ang's answer, Adams was visibly relieved, then put the small metal box in his hand on the table, and pressed the open button on the side of the box.

"This is a small favor from our company to you, and it will definitely come in handy in the knight competition."

The cold mist slowly escaped from the gaps in the suitcase, and three crystal clear glass syringes lay quietly in the middle of the suitcase.

"This is a physical supplement certified by the association. It only needs one injection to sweep away all the fatigue on the body."

"Trust me, you'll love that feeling."

Chapter 30 The Scapegoat

After leaving the suitcase and the medicine inside, Adams said goodbye to Li Ang with a smile.

Now, only Li Ang and Manna were left in the lounge.

"Is this what you're looking for?" Li Ang asked.

On the side, Manna slowly exited the hidden state, took out a syringe from the suitcase, and looked at it carefully in front of her eyes.

After a while, he shook his head and said, "Not sure, but I don't think it's the drug I'm looking for."

"Ball Pharmaceuticals will not simply hand over that thing to other people."

"Too."

Thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the case. Li Ang just won a game and gained a little fame.And according to Manna, what he was looking for should be a very rare potion, which was only circulated among a small number of people. How could it be simply given to others like this?

In short, Manna is still going to take a potion for inspection, so as to prevent Ball Pharmaceuticals from actually handing over that potion to Li Ang.

Li Ang thought for a few seconds, and then said to Manna, "This thing may have to be stored in a low-temperature environment. You'd better take these three potions with you. I can't use this kind of thing."

The ambiguous smile of Adams before leaving gave Li Ang a very bad feeling. No matter what, it was impossible for Li Ang to use this unknown potion.

Potions officially certified by the Knights Association... Would anyone really believe such words?Thinking in a bad direction, this kind of potion might be a method used by Bell Pharmaceuticals to control some knights. This kind of indecent method has been seen a lot by Li Ang in various works.

Manna didn't refuse either, and after putting the potion back in her hand, she took the whole box with her.

"Next, we should be separated for a while, at least there is no chance to meet openly."

"Why? Aren't you my manager now?" Li Ang was a little puzzled.

"According to what I know about that fat pig, he can't let go of this opportunity. I'm afraid he won't have to wait until tomorrow, and he will kick me away, and he will be your manager." Manna was very calm. said.

Fat pig...are you talking about the minister?

Li Ang frowned. He didn't like this kind of behavior of using his power to snatch the fruits of victory from others. If he brought such a villain with him, he would feel a little disgusted when he thought about it.

"He will take the results of my time as his own. If there is no accident, he will give you some benefits so that you will not tell these things. Don't refuse when the time comes, and promise him."
