"Carl, ask someone to find out what's going on with Claude Antel in Macon as soon as possible."
In the Naessen Gate office building, Dwight Payton strode into his assistant's office. "I want to know everything about him within thirty-six hours."
"Claude Antel, I seem to have heard of this name."
Carl looked puzzled and flipped through the documents in front of him.
But before he had the results, Dwight Payton had already given the answer. "This is one of the top four in this year's high school individual cold weapon combat competition in Macon. All major organizations predict that he is likely to win the championship and will encounter Ammo in the individual competition in Georgia soon. And not long ago, someone specifically mentioned this name to me and told me to be careful of this guy. "
But Dwight's attention was attracted by another pile of A4 papers on Carl's desk. "What's this? Comics? "
"That's the drawing that was returned from the comics company. Ammo drew a comic before and asked me to help him submit it. He hopes to attract the attention of the major publishers through the channels of our Nathan Group. "
Carl spread his hands. "But the result is very regrettable. I helped him contact a few publishers, but they all failed."
"The drawing can't meet their requirements?"
"Not really. There are still a few who agreed to publish, but their requirements are very harsh. Ammo is proud and arrogant. He would rather not publish than work for these publishers. This is right. If he agreed to their conditions, it would be equivalent to working for them. With Ammo's future status, this is not necessary, is it? I think these publishers are probably already regretting it. They may not have thought that Ammo would be so popular. Two have asked me to contact Ammo and want to renegotiate the conditions, but now he is too lazy to care. "
Dwight Payton listened and flipped through, and then his face gradually became strange. "Very good! I think the chief editors of these publishing houses either didn't look at his drawings seriously, or they should be fired. "
Carl was taken aback. "Mr. Paton thinks highly of this comic? Although I think it's good, I also feel that the publisher's opinion is correct. The comic's plot is too shallow and straightforward, without any depth. "
"Bullshit! Apart from the political cartoons that were published in newspapers, weren't the rest of the cartoons drawn for teenagers to read? What depth? Don't forget that in America, at least 12% of people can't read newspapers. "
Dwight sneered and extended his hand to Carl. "Give me a file."
Carl naturally obeyed, but he also felt puzzled. "Mr. Paton, are you going to take it home and collect it?"
"I'm going to a ball tonight. The president of Ferguson Culture and Media Company will be there. He should be a guy who knows his stuff. To be able to lead a small publishing company to a media company with a market value of 1.2 billion gold duns, he's very capable. "
Dwight Payton smiled and stuffed a stack of sketches into a folder. "Of course, Ah Mo has completely lost interest in this area. That's another matter, but I feel that he's short of money. Carl, this has nothing to do with you. What you need to pay attention to now is Claude Antell — "
At this point, Dwight deliberately knocked on the desk with his finger. "Find out about him as soon as possible, understand? This is probably another obstacle set up by our opponents for our lucky prince. I want to know, how do they want to die this time? Right now, Ammo is already invincible among high schoolers. "
…
On Thursday afternoon, in an unoccupied warehouse on East Anfach Street in the City of Atlanta, Sampson Brut, Lee Tae-lai, the Collingson brothers, Alyssa Targaryen, and a woman named Isadora Weekes each took a corner of a magic array in the shape of a heptagram.
In the center of the magic array was Hazel, who was wearing a full suit of armor.
This was a property that belonged to Li Chunchu's offshore companies. It occupied a total of 137,400 square meters, including seven large, high-standard warehouses and a seven-story office building. Until yesterday, these properties had been entrusted to a warehouse company to manage.
Li Mochen guessed that this was a piece of land that the original owner's father had prepared for Xuri Company's expansion into real estate. After Sampson and the others had investigated the site, they thought that this could be one of their fortresses.
What was rare was that this place was less than 90 meters away from Building 34 on Anfach Street. This meant that once Li Mochen bought this spatial gap that could lead to the World of Darkness, he could use this warehouse to provide a strong guarantee for the security of the other side.
Therefore, in the future, Li Mochen would invest 17,000,000 gold duns here. Nominally, he was going to expand and renovate the warehouses, but in reality, he was going to build a semi-military fortress here and turn it into his private army base. He would even invest a certain amount of money to buy some buildings between this place and Block 34 on Anfark Street.
Now, one of the warehouses here had been completely emptied by Li Mochen as the venue for his ritual to usurp the power of the Calamity Apostle. For this magic array and the corresponding items, Li Mochen had spent a total of 5,000,000 gold duns.
As it was not time for the Cardinal Club to open, and Li Mochen could not wait until then, he spent some extra money.
At this moment, Li Mochen and Major Thompson Adams were carefully examining the magic array that had just been drawn.
Be it in the East or the West, seven was considered a very magical number. The Creator used six days to create man and seven days to rest. Humans had seven deadly sins. In the Bible's Book of Revelation, there were seven seals, seven lampstands, seven horns, and so on.
However, it was very difficult to draw a heptagram accurately, because a heptagram was "an uneven but perfect and stable whole." In Mysticism, it was viewed as a more complicated star, and its power was also more powerful.
Therefore, using a heptagram as the basic magic array was extra complicated and difficult to draw. However, it would be very stable after it was completed.
"Madam Nature's Punisher, do you think the boss will succeed?"
Howard Eisenhower stood in the corner with his gun in his arms, looking at the center of the warehouse. He and Dainian Stussy had been called over by Li Mochen to protect the boss in case anything happened during the process.
"In theory, it's possible."
Dainian's eyes shone with silver light. "Major Adams is only a level-9 Magician, and his attainments in magic arrays are weak. However, our boss is very knowledgeable. I can see that he is still a little unfamiliar with the arrangement of magic arrays. However, he has a pair of eyes that can accurately capture the essence of mystery. This magic array should not be a problem. The only thing that could cause an accident is the Flame Calamity Apostle's Mind Corruption. However, our boss has taken out something very interesting. I think he has already taken precautions. "
At this moment, she was looking at the silver pill in the hands of Sampson Brut and the others.
Apart from Hazel, everyone in the heptagram had such a pill. It emitted a faint spiritual light and had a strange magical rhythm.
"In other words, these guys can all reach the top in a single step?"
Howard Eisenhower could not help but look envious. "This is really enviable. How much money have I spent all these years to raise my Profession level? How much danger have I taken? But now, they can have it. "
