…
At the same time, Antonio once again entered the underground laboratory wearing sterile work clothes. However, his arrival attracted the dissatisfied gazes of the laboratory's director, Professor Kevin Nell, as well as President Kalise Jakes.
"You shouldn't have come here, Antonio!"
Kalise Jakes frowned. "Don't you know that the people from Nathan Sports Group are watching you? The Xuri Company's newly hired director of the information department, Jeremy Burt, is not someone to be trifled with. He was once the pillar of the Sky's Eye Detective Agency. "
"Of course, how could I not have noticed? Did you know? Now, when I go out every day, there are at least two groups of people following behind me. There are more than ten of them, and they don't even try to conceal themselves. What a bunch of dogsh * t! But this place is only about a hundred meters away from my club. It's still very easy to hide from them. "
Antonio shook his head: "That's enough, Kalise Empire. I'm here to find out how our progress is. I heard that our Illusionist is already in place, right? That little girl, when will she really hatch? "
"You can say that the progress is gratifying."
The one who answered was Professor Kevin Nell. "Her negative emotions have already reached the threshold for three consecutive days. As long as this continues for another seven days, the Egg of Rebirth in her body will hatch. "
"In other words, we have to wait for another seven days?"
Antonio immediately frowned. "Kalise, we can't keep waiting like this. I think it's best for us to take action. We can no longer ignore that André. I hope that the headquarters can send one or two top-level Magical Shadowers over to cooperate with us. "
"Action? Antonio, you want to kill that lucky André, right? "
Kalise Jakes said calmly, "Things are not as simple as you think, Antonio. For a top sponsor like him who could bring huge profits to Nathan Sports Group, they would definitely provide him with Emergency Teleportation and Divine Guard scrolls. Also, if I were Dwight Payton, I would even ask a Legendary-mage to place a coordinate anchor on him if possible. Once that lucky André's life is in danger, a high-level ExtraOrdinary would arrive at any time. "
"Are you doubting me? Antonio. Nathan Sports Group had such resources and power, and Dwight Payton's influence was not limited to Naessen. Don't you know? Before that guy joined Nathan, he had already become a field supervisor in the FBI. He was a C4 high-ranking official and was only three ranks away from a D4 FBI supervisor. In fact, I have already received news that a week ago, Dwight Payton had already sent people to the legendary Alchemist Schroeder to make an order. They spent a lot of money to make a ring for that kid, including the Directional Teleportation, which is immune to most Dimensional Anchors, and the legendary Divine Guard. This thing will be delivered to him in a day or two at most. "
Antonio stared blankly for a moment, before his face filled with anger: "This matter, you should have told me earlier, Kalise Empire!"
If he had known about the existence of this ring, he would not have waited until now to make his move. As for the so-called high-level ExtraOrdinary, perhaps Kalise Jakes was right, but he still wanted to give it a try.
"So what if I told you? At that time, would you have killed that kid in advance? You wouldn't, Antonio. The reason you have such thoughts now is because you have been hurt by that kid, right? "
Kalise Jakes shook his head disapprovingly. "I know the consequences, Antonio. He is, after all, the heir to the Wildenstein family. It is said that his mother was once doted on by Conxiu Wildenstein. If he dies in an abnormal way, who knows what the consequences will be? We can offend Dwight Payton, but we cannot offend Conxiu Wildenstein. If you still want to stay in this city, you can continue your career. "
"But I can't just passively defend like this."
Edwin Antonio couldn't help but let out a light humph. "Do you know my current situation, Kalise? Right now, thirty to fifty people die in Blood Hand every day. Of the thirty-seven combat teams in my hands, thirteen have already been destroyed, and more than twenty ExtraOrdinary have died in battle. Those fellows below me are already beginning to stir. They are like tigers watching their prey, staring at the position below me. Do you know why that bastard's men are able to stir up so much trouble in the eastern part of the city? Someone is deliberately cooperating with them. Those bastards, they want to see us become a joke. "
"You don't want to see me thrown down, do you? Without the help of Blood Hand, this external power, it will be hard for me to provide effective protection here. "
"Don't be so pessimistic, Antonio."
Kalise Jakes couldn't help but let out a derisive laugh. "They won't be able to sway you, right? The thirteen combat teams you lost, we can replace them within a month. You still have Black Axe Richard, and Blood Maniac Anzo. As long as they are around, your position in Blood Hand will be as stable as the Alps. Even if they are gone, don't you still have me? I will not allow Blood Hand to change their leader, unless they no longer want to have a foothold in this city. "
"You?"
Antonio looked at him suspiciously. "Mr President Kalise, in the past, you did indeed have that kind of power. But now, the newspapers are filled with scandals about you. I heard that even within the Conservative Party, they are rejecting you. Over the past two days, I have shoved over seven million gold duns into the East District Police Department, but those greedy jackals have not been satisfied. They have long since stopped giving face to you, Mr President Kalise. "
"It is just a little trick by that Mr Paton. Those so-called scandals have no evidence. He is just using this method to attack my reputation in the political arena. However, as long as the 79 farms in the eastern suburbs and the poor people in the southern districts continue to support me, my position in Atlanta will be unshakable. That is my foundation … "
"Woah, our President is actually so naive?"
Antonio sneered. "More importantly, the FBI and the Church of Light are also investigating this matter. As for you all, you still need seven days! After seven days, who knows what will happen? Who knows, my head might have already been chopped off and stuffed into a toilet bowl, just like how I did to others in the past. I believe that once they find out the truth, both you and I will be swept into the trash! Even I have the intention to give up on Atlanta, yet you still have such naive thoughts. "
"You are right. However, Antonio, the allure of Life Bestowal is beyond your imagination. Even if the FBI and the Church of Light get involved, the political situation in Atlanta will not be completely out of balance. Who do you think the Life Bestowal slots that we gave out belong to? Antonio, I promise that as long as the Calamity Dragoness is successfully resurrected, everything that belongs to you in Atlanta will still belong to you. As long as the FBI does not have any evidence, they will not be able to do anything to you. This is a society governed by law, no? Everything that is happening now is just a small problem. "
Kalise Jakes shook his head, not minding it. "Also, do not forget that Halloween is in two days. We still have a backup plan. This might lower the completion rate of the Egg of Resurrection. However, if we have no other choice, the Calamity Dragoness can still return from this girl's body. "
"So, there is really no need to worry. Antonio, haven't we already made the arrangements? Thursday afternoon has completely destroyed his reputation. That kid was only able to start a war with you because of the support of the Nathan Sports Group and his ability to carry goods. However, if all of that is gone, he will be nothing more than an ant that you can play around with. I promise that on Thursday, we will definitely be able to deal with him. His talent in combat is extremely high, but in the end, he is only a level 5 Mystic Swordsman. You know what I have prepared, right? Poor André. He will be smashed to pieces by Cardio Rhode's sword. "
Seeing that Antonio had been convinced, Kalise Jakes turned to look at Professor Kevin Neill. "From what I heard just now, you seem to be hesitating. Are there any other problems in activating this Egg of Resurrection? "
"I wouldn't say it's a problem."
Kevin Neill smiled bitterly. "Theoretically speaking, we only need to let her negative emotions reach a certain threshold for a period of time, right? However, as I said to Mr. Antonio a week ago, deep in her heart, there is still a glimmer of hope, an unrealistic fantasy. This Hazel, she hopes that she can be saved. I originally thought that with the arrival of an Illusionist, this problem would be solved. However, the current situation is only forcefully suppressing this hope of hers. It is not as I expected, completely destroying it. "
