Magic Industrial Age

Gabcha Street, No. 3.

At this moment, Woolly Aaron was like an ant on a hot pan. He would occasionally look at the clock on the wall, calculating the time; and sometimes he would look up at the sky, watching the height of the moon.

Although he barely maintained his composure on his face, his panicked eyes had already betrayed him.

Seeing the butler passing by, he quickly said, "No news yet?"

The butler was a little at a loss: "Really nothing, I arranged someone at the gatehouse, and I will definitely be notified as soon as there is news."

"It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be! That's the Razor Gang, the Oakland City Razor Gang, and I also hired two Tier 2 combat professionals.

A full three Tier 2s, plus dozens of gangsters, is enough to take down a few blocks.

How could there be no news for so long?"

Woolly Aaron was talking to the butler, but also like a muttering to himself. For no reason, a bad feeling arose in his heart, as if disaster was imminent.

The butler looked at the master like this, a little at a loss, wanted to say something, but opened his mouth, and then closed it again.

Woolly Aaron suddenly grabbed the butler's arm and said, "Go, go and call everyone up and let them be prepared.

Also, Mr. Modimus, let him be fully armed and guard me."

"Okay!"

The butler responded and was about to leave, but he had just taken a step when Woolly Aaron grabbed him back.

"Not enough, that's still not enough."

He muttered like this, and then said: "You send someone to the Public Security Precinct again, to invite people over, and tell them that there are vicious thugs rampaging here, and ask them to arrest people."

The butler looked embarrassed and said, "Master, you know, those people in the Public Security Precinct are not easy to invite."

"It doesn't matter, you take money, ten gold Thalers, to Lord Werner, and ask him to help."

"Ten gold Thalers?"

"Yes, ten, tell Lord Werner, as long as my crisis is resolved, there will be a heavy thank you later."

"Okay, okay!"

At this moment, the butler knew the severity of the situation. With his master's stingy style, he was spending so much, he really didn't know what a major event had happened.

He didn't dare to delay any longer, and ran out of the study, ' the sound of footsteps' down the stairs.

After a while, there seemed to be noise coming from downstairs.

Until then, Woolly Aaron finally felt a little relieved, but at this moment, a hard object pressed against his back, making him completely stiff in place.

"Mr. Woolly, you have spent a lot of money to kill me?"

Woolly Aaron only felt that all the hairs on his body stood on end, and sweat seeped out of his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it.

However, after all, he was a big businessman, and he was quite knowledgeable. When he was in a crisis, he calmed down and his mind raced, seeking a chance to survive.

"Lord Loye, I know, I know, this time I offended you, and I should be killed.

But even if I die, it won't solve the problem.

The Shangsheli Magic Textile Factory is not what I want, but the Earl's arrangement. Even if you kill me, the Earl will arrange for someone else to take over.

Or, he will personally intervene!

But if you leave me, it's different if you leave me."

His words seemed to successfully arouse Loye's interest. After a pause, the voice sounded again: "Very interesting, continue."

Breathing a sigh of relief, Woolly Aaron calmed down, and then said: "The matter of the Shangsheli Magic Textile Factory is not a conflict between you and me, or even a conflict between Baron Marquis and Earl.

It is a conflict between the Hohenzollern royal family and the old nobles.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the great Emperor Hohenzollern III's plans for magic-powered machinery, but Baron Marquis actually said that this is shaking the foundation of the empire.

The foundation of the empire, is he able to evaluate it?"

"He is just guarding the old nobles' land, population and rights, and is a corrupt person who is unwilling to move forward, and will inevitably be crushed into powder by the wheels of the times.

Even the Marquis family may fall into decline due to his stubbornness."

Woolly Aaron's words were actually a bit deafening, but turning the conversation, he said again: "Lord Loye can see the future trend, and also knows what magic-powered machinery represents,

However, being hostile to the Earl is standing on the opposite side of the empire, which is very inappropriate."

"I can mediate, I can help you mediate with the Earl, we are all people who are optimistic about the development of magic-powered machinery, and we should be standing together."

I have to say that Woolly Aaron's eloquence is excellent, and he even speaks with some reason.

Loye couldn't help but ask: "Then what are you going to do?"

"I think..."

Woolly Aaron didn't know what to do. His analysis was all a quick wit, but he didn't dare to say he didn't know.

Just as his brain was spinning, thinking about how to continue deceive, the voice spoke again: "Forget it, forget it, although what you said is right, I don't want to listen anymore."

"Wh, why?"

"Because, I am here to kill you. If I listen to you too much, I am afraid that I really can't do it, that would be terrible."

"Wait, I..."

Responding to him was the sound of a sword being drawn. The hard object at the back of his heart disappeared, but the next second, a rapier had already entered his chest, passed through the gap of his ribs, and then pierced his heart, and then penetrated from his chest.

It was not until this time that the stabbing pain came, and Woolly Aaron looked down and saw half of the long sword protruding, and the blood was connected into a line along the sword body, dripping.

Woolly Aaron opened his mouth to say something, but his lips opened and closed, but there was no sound at all.

What he saw was only the rapier withdrawn little by little, as if symbolizing the passing of his life.

His legs weakened, and he fell to the ground, dying without closing his eyes, but he didn't even see who killed him.

A moment later, there was the sound of ' footsteps' again, and a warrior wearing armor, a shield in his left hand, and a short sword in his right hand came up.

This one, Modimus, the only Tier 2 combat professional in the Woolly Aaron Chamber of Commerce, a shield sword warrior, and also the captain of the guard.

However, when he stepped into the study and saw Woolly Aaron collapsed on the ground, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

And this exclamation attracted the butler, servants, groom and cook, so that the entire house seemed messy.

A moment later, a large number of city guards broke in.

Leading the team was a burly middle-aged man, wearing a military uniform. It was Werner, the recent chief of the Public Security Precinct and captain of the city guards.

At the beginning, he was still full of smiles. After all, even without the subsequent income, the ten gold Thalers were satisfying.

But after seeing Woolly Aaron's body, the smile on his face froze.

restrained his smile, sealed off the scene, and then called the butler over, asked for a long time with a straight face.

The butler could not withstand the pressure, and revealed everything that should and should not be said.

Werner circled around the study, and then looked out of the open window, and saw the endless night, with a few street lights shining.

Finally, next to Woolly Aaron's body, he squatted, reached out his hand and pulled at the torn clothes, and the wound at the back of his heart.

"Loye Royfits, illegitimate son of Earl Raymond, a freshman at the Magic Academy..."

"Is this a joke with me?"

"With this swordsmanship, this decisiveness, how could a seventeen or eighteen year old teenager do it?"

"Baron Marquis, Earl Dorji Petrovich, and the Raymond family, and the Shangsheli Magic Textile Factory......

The water here is very deep!"

"It's better to hide a little bit. I can't be involved, otherwise I will be swallowed even the dregs are not left.

However, the matter still has to be explained to Earl, so I have to meet with that freshman tomorrow."

After making up his mind, Captain Werner said nothing, and shouted with a rough voice: "Come on, come on!"

"Captain!"

Two city guards immediately broke into the study, stood at attention, saluted, it can be seen that although the reputation is not good, the mental outlook of these city guards is still good.

"Take the body back and let the forensic doctor do an autopsy!"

"Take all the people here back, lock them up, and interrogate them carefully."

"Also, check if Woolly Aaron has any family members, and notify them to go to the Public Security Precinct."

"Seal this place off directly and do not allow outsiders to enter."

After a series of orders were issued, Captain Werner finally said with a smile: "We, the Public Security Precinct, have to handle this murder case well!"

"Yes!"

A group of city guards understood each other, responded with a bang, and those who were detained were pale.

Not far away,

In the shadows, Loye was hiding there, watching the movement here.

In his mind, Shen Lan asked: "Master, do you want to be so decisive?"

Loye replied: "He wants my life, so I have to eradicate completely!"
