"Not a bad place. I think I'll come again next time."
Julie slowly finished her Scorpio cocktail and put a dollar bill under the glass. She smiled at Chung Shen-soo and left the bar.
Looking at the gazes of the men around him, Chung Shen-soo suddenly felt that his bar's business would be much better in the future.
"Julie, an interesting woman …"
He looked at her back as she left, a playful smile on his face.
"Humph!"
When Angel and Alice saw this scene, they suddenly had a feeling that all men were big pig trotters, and they felt a burst of sourness in their hearts.
…
After the bar closed, Chung Shen-soo went to the second basement floor. After patrolling the wine cellar, he returned to his office.
"The last batch of alcohol has been refined, and the customers are very satisfied."
Smith handed the profits of the day to Chung Shen-soo, and at the same time said the customers' comments, "If the pharmacy can continue to provide alcohol of this quality, we will definitely make a fortune."
"Don't worry, the quality of the alcohol will only get better in the future."
Chung Shen-soo nodded, took out a dollar bill and handed it to Smith, and at the same time let him leave.
Smith also knew that the boss would not let the people in the bar know about the "pharmacy," so he tactfully left the office and closed the door.
"Boss, I went to the pharmacy yesterday, everything is normal … The spicy restaurant next to it has also opened, and business is very good in the winter."
Scar Face continued to report.
"Very good, our business is gradually on the right track, the next thing to consider is how to defend the problem …"
Chung Shen-soo sat behind the desk, crossed his fingers and said, "On one hand, the Nuoding Hill family has reacted, and started all kinds of overt and covert tests. On the other hand, it is the investigation of those Prohibition agents … "
Scar Face's expression became ferocious and fanatical, "Boss, give me a name, and I will sweep away all the obstacles for you!"
He was so loyal, and this had already exceeded the scope of saving his life, he was simply like a fanatic.
Chung Shen-soo suddenly felt a chill, and waved his hand again, "Violence can't solve all problems, you go first, gather all the information I want you to find out."
After sending everyone away, he went to the side of the office and took down a mural.
Behind the mural, there was a secret door.
After opening the secret door and walking for a while, they arrived at a newly opened secret room.
There weren't many things inside. There was only a large table with all kinds of test tubes, beakers, alcohol burners … It looked like a chemistry laboratory in a university.
In addition, there was a safe in the corner.
Chung Shen-soo keyed in the password and opened the safe. Looking at the gold and US dollars stuffed inside, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Now, I'm just like those people who have super high daily cash flow but can't deposit it in the bank. I'm starting to experience the trouble of having too much money to put it in … The money laundering plan has to be started as soon as possible."
'It's a pity that these haven't met Li Wei's requirements … What a greedy person, but there's a limit to how greedy he can be. Once I monopolize the bootlegging business in Byron City, I should be able to fulfill my wish …'
"Otherwise, his obsession would be to become the richest man in the world …"
After stuffing the wealth that many people coveted into the safe like garbage, Chung Shen-soo opened another secret compartment and took out a test tube.
Inside the test tube was some black, ash-like powder.
It came from the leader of the Moor Gang, a pitiful fellow who had been affected by a mysterious power and turned into a monster.
During this time, Chung Shen-soo had been trying to analyze the remains left behind by the leader and make use of them.
"The latest discovery and result is that this powder, which is probably left behind by the burning moth, has a strong hallucinogenic effect …"
"Actually, hallucinations aren't necessarily hallucinations. They could be the truth of the world!"
"Under the stimulation of strong hallucinations, a person's mental strength will also undergo a qualitative change and increase … Starting from this line of thought, I can make some potions that can increase one's mental strength, or in other words … increase one's inspiration?"
"Even if it's only temporary and useless to me, it would be very suitable for Scarface and the others …"
Scarface was actually considered an elite. If he was equipped with enough firepower, ordinary flesh and blood monsters wouldn't be able to withstand the power of bullets.
However, they often came with a strong mental contamination.
Facing them, even elite soldiers who had undergone strict training would fall into all kinds of hallucinations, causing their limbs to be paralyzed and at their mercy!
Therefore, stimulants that could temporarily increase one's mental strength were very useful.
If equipped with these, even if they encountered that monster, Scarface and the others would be able to deal with it calmly.
"However … there's no way to guarantee the side effects and sequelae, unless we conduct a large number of human experiments and follow up …"
"If it's a force that treats ordinary soldiers as disposable goods, there's actually not much need for it …"
Chung Shen-soo thought for a while, then brought a test tube to the alchemy table and began to try making the potion.
…
Count District, 25 Merlin Avenue.
Noon.
Chung Shen-soo had finally finished his experiment and returned home.
Normally, he would have lunch with his family and then go to bed, waiting for the bar to open at night, living a life of sleeping during the day.
"Young Master Li Wei!"
The moment he entered the door, he saw the hired butler, Ron, waiting for him.
Chung Shen-soo handed him his coat and asked, "How are Jones and the others?"
"Young Master Jones has just returned. Carmella and Jennifer have already finished their morning grammar lessons and are about to have lunch with their tutor."
Ron looked to be in his sixties and had rich experience in management. At the same time, he had a good reputation, so he was hired by Chung Shen-soo to take care of the family.
"Very good!"
When he arrived at the dining room, he saw his siblings having lunch with a woman in a black gauze dress.
The ethos of this era was between conservative and liberal. At least, in order to avoid scandals, the tutors that upper-class families hired for their children were mostly of the same gender.
"Good afternoon, Madam Isabella."
Chung Shen-soo nodded in greeting, sat down, and poured himself a glass of milk.
On the snow-white tablecloth, there was a woven fruit basket filled with all kinds of fruits. There were also fried lamb chops and fried chicken. It looked very sumptuous.
The two lolis, Carmella and Jennifer, had recently put on some weight.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Mojito!"
Madam Isabella returned the greeting.
"I've been studying urban geography recently, and I suddenly remembered that I've seen the name of a city somewhere, but I can't find it … Madam Isabella, you seem to be good at geography as well. I wonder if you've heard of it?"
Chung Shen-soo cut himself a piece of steak and seemed to ask casually.
"Which city?" Isabella thought that the employer was taking a test, and her expression became serious.
"Gomorrah!"
Chung Shen-soo was quite interested in the moth owner. Unfortunately, he had been trying to find out more about it, and even through the limited books he had collected, he could not find any trace of it.
Isabella tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying with certainty, "There's definitely no such city in the Federation. This strange pronunciation and style might be from some remote overseas colony …"
