The hundreds of thousands of tons of rainbow ore in the huge warehouse have all been refined by Colin's alchemy formation.
After smelting, the raw ore lost its iridescent luster and turned into gray-brown dull scrap iron slag. It was still piled as high as a hill, as if no one had touched it.
In the open space on the side, various refined rare metals shine brightly, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, indigo, purple... People can't open their eyes because of the dazzling colors.
These colored metals are clearly divided into dozens of large and small piles, with a total volume of only twenty or thirty cubic meters.
This time, I originally planned to pay the price and trade normally.
Unexpectedly, when I grabbed it, I got a hundred times more profit than expected!
"These 'black titanium' are enough for me to convert all the chairs on the 'Golden Ghost' into alloy iron chairs! I have also harvested so many rare metals that I will not be short of experimental materials for a long time in the future, hahaha."
..”
Colin's tone was filled with excitement. He sorted various rare metals into the storage space little by little, and the sparkle in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Even when he was in Hex City, these rare materials were in limited supply, but now he got so much for nothing.
A young man like him, who had received a high-level civilized education in Hex City since childhood, finally felt the fatal temptation of "business without capital", and the ambition in his heart was ready to move.
He was a little unfinished, and while cleaning up, he said excitedly: "Captain, I think we can select this kind of rich and unkind plutocrats in the future, and do a few more big ones! This wealth is simply too easy to come by..."
"Let's talk about it later when we have a chance..."
Hearing this, Raymond felt dumbfounded.
Sure enough, robbery is a road of no return, the kind that can defeat even "three good students".
After a pause, he looked at the closed warehouse door and said in a deep voice: "Colin, clean up this place, and we will proceed as planned."
...
At the same time, outside the warehouse.
After all, it was a sordid matter of murdering a visitor, and David Ivan didn't want to make a big deal about it.
There are only twenty or thirty core guards of the David family and the Oliver family guarding here.
They waited for a long time, but saw no movement in the warehouse, so they couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Tell me, Lord Finn and the others have been in here for a quarter of an hour, why haven't they come out yet?"
"I don't know. It sounds like there's not much movement in the warehouse. Is there something going on inside?"
"What could happen? Master Finn came here with the legendary combat uniform of the Oliver family. How can he catch two little pirates with ease?"
"That's right, if something happens, there must be a commotion inside. The quieter it is, the more it proves that Lord Finn has already taken care of it..."
"..."
The guards outside the door were whispering boredly.
At this time,
There was a loud "bang" sound!
Before they could react, at this moment, the door of the warehouse suddenly exploded. The hot blast of gas rushed out from the warehouse, instantly knocking the guards at the door to pieces.
The violent explosion shook the entire mining area, and in an instant, everyone in the entire factory was affected.
"what happened..."
"This is... a hunting missile! Damn it, who is using this kind of thing indiscriminately? Using missiles of this magnitude to attack the smelting plant, aren't they afraid of detonating the entire factory!"
"Master Finn and the others...will something really happen?"
"Be careful!"
Obviously, things went beyond everyone's expectations.
After the fireworks dissipated, everyone saw clearly that a guy wearing a weird combat uniform came out of the door.
The guards still held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking it was the senior mechanic of the Oliver family. But in the blink of an eye, they saw the dark mass of guns pointing at them, and they immediately realized that something was wrong.
"No, something happened! This is the guy from the 'Ghost Pirates'!"
"Inform Lord Ivan quickly..."
"..."
Before the guards had time to react, they were greeted by sudden bursts of super suppressive firepower. More than a dozen steam spray guns and magic energy laser guns fired at the same time, beating the guards in front of them to blood in the blink of an eye.
As a senior machinist, how could Colin not understand the key points in the smelting plant?
Since you want to attract firepower, let’s have a grand fireworks!
After killing these guards, he raised the metal skeleton prosthesis in his hand without hesitation. The machine clicked a few times, and the tips of more than a dozen "whale hunting small missiles" hidden in the ammunition compartment were revealed one after another.
red warhead.
Aim, inspire.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
A series of violent burning sounds of fireworks were heard, white smoke rose for a moment, and small missiles were fired directly towards the smelting boilers and energy storage compartments of the smelting plant.
A few seconds later, a violent explosion sounded, and huge mushroom clouds rose up throughout the alchemy field.
An explosion of this magnitude immediately caused a chain reaction. Soon, like firecrackers, the factory area crackled and exploded. The entire city and island shook violently like an earthquake. The steel buildings collapsed in pieces like wheat.
, the explosive air waves centered on the Alchemist one after another, washing over the entire island like ocean waves...
In the turbid air waves of the explosion, a human figure flashed past.
"Colin, be careful."
"Leave this place to me, Captain, be careful!"
“Meet the docks!”
"good!"
Taking advantage of the chaos, Raymond teleported out of the explosion range of the smelter. He identified the direction and teleported straight towards the Davide family's city lord's manor.
The insightful and domineering locking allowed him to clearly perceive the position of David Ivan.
He wanted to catch that guy before he hid in the shelter!
...
At the same time, the violent explosion naturally attracted the attention of everyone on the island immediately. The pirates and mercenaries were shocked when they looked at the mushroom cloud rising from the steel plant.
"Look, the Oliver family's refinery exploded!"
"Did an accident happen during the smelting?"
"Then there was no accidental explosion. Someone was fighting! Didn't you hear the gunfire..."
"Who dares to cause trouble in the Davide family's territory after eating the bear's heart? This is the mercenary base of the Davide family..."
"Hey, there are a lot of bold people out there lately! Have you forgotten about the Death Song Pirates rescuing the giant prisoners of war a few days ago? Maybe the big pirates are making trouble from somewhere..."
"Then [Death Song] Lur also quietly touched his hands, how dare he be so blatant?! Listening to the sound of firepower, it should be a legion battle. Maybe there is really a large pirate group that is not afraid of death and is robbing gold.
Where’s the mine?”
"What a big event! Come on...go and watch the fun, maybe you can get some benefits by fishing in troubled waters..."
"..."
...
As soon as the explosion went off, the intelligence department of the David family got the news.
A beautiful blond female secretary hurried into Ivan's luxurious office and reported urgently: "Sir Ivan, it's bad, something happened in the smelting plant!"
At this moment, Ivan was leisurely drinking coffee in the office. Naturally, he heard the series of explosions. He first thought it was some smelting accident and didn't take it seriously.
Now hearing the anxious tone of Secret Technique, he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
The blond secretary organized the most concise language and said: "There was an attack on the Rainbow Ore warehouse, and then there was a violent explosion in the factory!"
"Ore warehouse? Could it be that... something went wrong?"
Ivan was stunned for a moment before he remembered something and asked in confusion: "Isn't Finn from the Oliver family somewhere? How could there be trouble?"
The blonde female secretary: "They are mingling over there, and we haven't been able to get the exact information. According to the first-hand news from the refinery over there, the guards didn't see Lord Finn and the others. Maybe something happened.
Already..."
"What?!"
Ivan's face changed slightly, and he asked: "The Oliver family has sent a team of high-level mechanics, how come there is such a big fuss?!"
"I...we also know..."
The secretary looked a little embarrassed and explained: "I didn't see Mr. Finn in the warehouse, but a guy wearing a strange technological battle suit came out. He opened fire everywhere, which caused the explosion in the refinery. The guy's firepower was too strong.
Our people were beaten back and forth, and we couldn't stop him at all..."
Ivan caught something keenly and asked: "Only one?"
"Yes! There is only one!"
The blond female secretary confirmed: "It's the robot-arm guy you met before, my lord."
Ivan suddenly had a bad feeling and asked again: "Where is the young swordsman?"
Blonde female secretary: "The news said, I didn't see it..."
Hearing this, Ivan suddenly thought of something and his expression changed drastically: "Oops, go and notify the [War Emperor]'s legion commander and ask him to bring people to protect the manor immediately!"
He is very aware of the combat effectiveness of the Oliver family's legendary battle suit "Fire Rhinoceros". If Finn does not show up, it means that the commotion in the warehouse is probably the last thing he wants to see.
The entire Oliver family may have been wiped out!
Although rationally, Ivan did not believe that a little pirate with at most Sequence 2 combat capabilities could escape from the hands of a senior mechanic from the Oliver family group.
But his keen intuition from years of experience in shopping malls made Ivan feel that his current situation was very dangerous.
If he was really unfortunate enough to guess, then...the plan of joint murder was exposed, wouldn't the guys from the "Ghost Pirates" immediately think that it was him who set up the trap?
"Damn it, those idiots from the Oliver family, how could they do this... They have brought me big trouble!"
Ivan felt a little regretful. He could obviously obtain a precious master's notes through a normal private transaction. But now that he couldn't steal it, he ended up in a dangerous situation.
"Lord Ivan, do we need to notify the [War Emperor]'s mercenaries to come to the manor?"
The blond secretary was a little confused about his master's order. He hesitated for a moment and reminded him: "But sir... the mechanic over at the warehouse is more likely to flee to the port. No matter how powerful his firepower is, he can't break through."
The city guards came to the manor..."
"madness!"
Ivan cursed angrily: "Those guys really wanted to run away, how could they make such a big noise?! This is obviously a plan to attack the east and the west..."
Thinking of this, the sense of crisis was as real as ever, and it stung his eyebrows with a dull pain.
I hope...
That pirate can't really be so crazy and come to attack the heavily guarded city lord's manor.
"Yes, sir. I will inform you right away..."
The secretary was scolded so hard that she couldn't hold her head up. For a moment, she didn't understand why she was being scolded.
"No...it's no longer safe here."
The frightening feeling became stronger and stronger, and Ivan felt that he could not stay here any longer. He shouted urgently: "No! Let's go to the shelter first..."
However, the next moment, something strange happened suddenly.
The scene that Ivan David least wanted to see happened.
...
Before he finished speaking, a cold and mocking voice suddenly appeared in the office.
"Hey... Mr. Ivan is so anxious, where are you planning to go?"
Raymond's figure teleported into the office and killed the secretary with one knife.
Fortunately, he caught up with him, otherwise he would have let this profiteer run to the shelter and be unable to kill him even if he wanted to.
After seeing the person clearly, Ivan's expression was a little stiff.
The enemies were all coming to his door, and they obviously had bad intentions. He didn't take any chances.
However, after all, as the head of a branch of a large chaebol, he has seen a lot of storms, and Raymond's appearance did not make Ivan too panicked.
He squinted his eyes and asked pretending not to know: "Aren't you visiting the ore warehouse... What do you mean by suddenly breaking into my manor?"
"hehe..."
Raymond sneered, guessing that this guy probably wanted to delay time and attract the guards.
A trace of ridicule appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Oh? Mr. Ivan is still so calm at this time, do you still expect your Sequence 1 shadow guard to hold your life?"
Hearing this, cold sweat suddenly broke out on Ivan's forehead, and he was shocked: "What, he actually knows this?!"
As a top chaebol, how could he not have personal bodyguards around him?
The shadow guard who lurks in the dark and protects him at all times is a master he hired at a high price. He is a peak Sequence 1 assassin, a top master who can even fight against Sequence 0 transcendences!
It's a pity that laymen can't see the secret ways of assassins, but experts can identify them at a glance.
There was a looming "qi" in the room, and Raymond had long known that it was the fat man's shadow guard.
The opponent's rank is very high, and even with the aid of visual inspection, one cannot grasp his exact position.
But this could not be hidden from the "world's best assassin" Arno.
...
Raymond obviously had no interest in spending more time with this cunning guy.
A chilling smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he chuckled and said: "Mr. Ivan, I'll give you ten seconds to figure out how to buy your life. If the terms you offer satisfy me... maybe today
You don’t have to die.”
He also wanted to try his luck and see if he could force out some interesting news in these ten seconds.
Ivan's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to delay time without giving up: "What do you mean?"
When he thought about it, no matter how powerful this guy was, he would never be strong enough to despise a Sequence 1 master!
Humph! Arrogant boy, you have to pay the price!
At this time, Ivan made a subtle gesture of rubbing his eyebrows, but he was ordering the secret guards to prepare to take action!
"nineteen..."
Raymond seemed completely unaware and ignored the profiteer's scheming methods, and began to count down.
As if to prove that his words were not a bluff, at this moment, a trace of blood suddenly appeared in the air, and a bunch of hot blood shot out from the blood line and sprayed on the gorgeous carpet.
"This is..."
Ivan looked at the shadow guard who suddenly emerged from the transparency, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
Isn’t this my Sequence 1 shadow guard?!
At this moment, a scarlet gash with bones visible was cut open on the guard's neck by a sharp weapon, and he could not survive.
"It's over..."
Ivan's face suddenly turned pale.
It's so terrifying. The Shadow Guards in Sequence 1 were all killed with one move. It turns out that this kid has top experts beside him!
This profiteer was also very good at reacting to the changing circumstances. His confident expression just now immediately turned into an awkward smile that knew the current situation, and he said urgently: "I can give you 100 billion gold coins!"
"hehe..."
Raymond looked sarcastic, completely unmoved, and continued to count down: "Five, four, three..."
"me..."
Ivan's body was covered with hair as he listened to the exhorting countdown, as if the noose around his neck was tightening rapidly, pushing him step by step into the abyss of death.
At this moment, he clearly felt the rapid passage of life, and said quickly: "There are countless treasures in my warehouse, which are priceless. You can take whatever you want..."
"Clang!"
What responded to him was a flash of sword light.
Raymond tilted his head and muttered: "It's a pity that you didn't give me the answer I wanted."
If it was just money, it really wouldn't attract him.
Obviously,
This unscrupulous businessman was being cunning even before he died, and he never forgot to bargain.
But Raymond had no intention of continuing to waste time with him.
Because he has another way to get what he wants.
At this moment, the system prompt sounded as scheduled.
[Ding! Do you want to use ‘Redead Soul Stripping’? Yes/No]
【yes!】
[Ding! You have successfully peeled it off and obtained the following obsessions of the deceased: 1. Information about Ivan’s personal safe; 2. The Davide family’s plan; 3. Fragments of the Master’s Identification Technique; 4. That wonderful night last night; 5. The Navy’s Secret orders;]
"It seems that my prediction is correct. When he is about to die, he should give appropriate guidance and hints. The obsession of the soul stripped off by the system may have something that he was thinking about before he died..."
Raymond looked at these selection prompts and showed an expression that was indeed the case.
Most of these prompts were options that he expected.
Just now, he deliberately left ten seconds for the fat man to negotiate terms and buy his life. He did not expect to hear any breaking news, but to force him to "associate".
Although Ivan, a cunning and cunning guy, can play tricks on his words, when his life is on the line, he will instinctively think of the "most precious" offer that he can get.
This becomes the obsession of the dead soul, and there is a high chance that it will appear in the system stripping options after death.
Raymond has tried it several times before and is getting more and more comfortable with it.
The seemingly irregular [Redead Soul Stripping] skill actually has some traces.
...
"Safe? Tsk, tsk, priceless antiques are placed casually in the office. What on earth would be hidden in this profiteer's safe..."
Raymond thought for a while and chose the first option.
The next moment, there was an additional picture fragment in the sea of consciousness.
Behind a huge oil painting with a portrait of David Ivan himself, there is a high-level password vault. And of course, there is the sequence in which the fat hand enters the eleven-digit password.
"Oh... the safe is actually hidden here?"
Raymond tilted his head and looked at the oil painting on the wall behind his desk. Isn't it the oil painting in Obsession of the Dead?
"That's good, it saves me the trouble of looking for it."
He slashed through it with a knife, revealing the alloy iron door of a combination safe.
Raymond casually entered the eleven-digit password he had just obtained, and the sound of gears clicked.
"Tsk tsk... I'm really curious about what kind of treasures such a big chaebol, who lives in mountains of gold and silver, would lock up so tightly..."
