On the fourteenth floor of the Arlington Building, outside the door of a room made entirely of bulletproof glass, Dacia Rockefeller, who was forced to put on a sterile dust-proof suit, was looking at the black man behind the workbench in front of her in horror.
Hair men.
Although this man's hair was messy and his face was bruised and swollen, Codacia recognized him immediately - he was the current president of Light and Magic Industries, the richest man in America, a professor of applied physics and
Engineering thermodynamics, and mechanical engineering classification world's leading scientist Anthony Braden.
"Let me in!"
Behind Dacia, someone hit him hard on the waist with the butt of a gun and forced him into the temporarily renovated studio.
"The richest man told us that he now needs a reliable assistant. And although you, Darcia, are also a playboy, you were already a twelfth-level magician two months ago.
The proud disciple of a super legendary mage. So please work hard here and don’t let us down, you know?”
It was a guy with a black mask on his face. He stared at Dacia Rockefeller with a warning look, and then glanced at the workbench.
"Braden, although I don't think he can play any role in your research, I still brought him here. I know this little guy is your friend. But other than that, I don't want to hear anything.
If you have any other excessive demands, do you understand?"
Anthony Braden did not speak, but raised his hand to show his understanding. The masked man snorted coldly and strode out.
After the glass door closed, Dacia walked to the other side of the workbench hesitantly.
"Anthony, I didn't expect you to be here. What happened? Where are your security advisors? Aren't you carrying that demigod-level exoskeleton armor with you?"
He knew that this person could have two legends by his side!
"Isn't this obvious? Since I was kidnapped by them, it means that my security consultants are in trouble. As for the armor you mentioned, it lost its energy at a critical moment. I was betrayed, Dacia, yes
Our own people within Light & Magic Industries. Shit, this armor was completely repaired not long ago in the Science Laboratory of Light & Magic Industries."
Anthony Braden looked quite optimistic: "Also, there is no need for Dacia to be so quiet. There are a lot of bugs here. The number is scary, and there are various types. It is guaranteed that any form of communication we have will be intercepted.
They heard it."
With an earthy face, Dacia glanced at the panoramic glass room and the toilet that was also surrounded by transparent glass.
"That is to say, even if we are going to the toilet, we will be under their watch."
"Of course you can hear us pooping too."
Anthony laughed: "Okay, the gossip is over. We can start working now, otherwise, I will take a beating for you, and you, Dacia, will end up not much better. Their skills in this area
It's very good, it can make you miserable, but it won't cause much damage to your body."
"So what do they need you to study? This thing that looks like briquettes in front of us?"
Dacia has already moved her eyes to something placed on the workbench. It does look like a burning briquette briquette. The shape is almost the same, except that it is smooth and has a crystal-like jade texture. And those honeycombs are sprayed with water.
The red light that comes out is very gentle.
"It is said that it is an energy core extracted from the ruins of the Moshra people. It originated from an extremely powerful star warship. I have tested it and it does contain amazing energy. If there are matching external components
, it can stably output 120 million kilowatt-hours in the next 50 years. Atlanta’s daily electricity consumption is only 60 million at its peak in the summer.”
"Got it, are you trying to make a bomb now?"
"Guessed it?"
Anthony's lips twitched: "If this thing is detonated, it can easily destroy Atlanta's magic tower defense array. However, the energy inside it is very stable, and it is not easy to make it explode."
Dacia has already gotten a glimpse of the truth: "So those four sets of 'magic mechanical cores' are actually a bait, right? To lure you away from your hometown of Manhattan and come to Atlanta. They can only set the trap here because it is further away.
A place you won’t go to.”
"Does this make sense?"
Anthony Braden sighed, and then placed a sketch he drew in front of Dacia: "The most important thing for you now is to help me make this part. They also have experience in physics and
Experts in mechanics are monitoring our progress all the time, so don’t make any attempts to cut corners or cheat, okay?”
Seeing the blond boy opposite nodded, he focused his eyes on the 'briquettes' in front of him, and just when he was leaning over his desk, he began to concentrate on calculations and drawings.
The masked man who had just left not long ago broke in with a large group of armed men with live ammunition. The first few people directly held Dacia down and forced the latter to stretch one hand flat on the table in front of him.
.
The masked man came to Dacia's side with a knife in his hand.
"stop!"
Anthony realized what might happen next, and his face was as pale as paper: "He is my assistant now, Mr. Vulture! If you cut off Dasia's hand, how will he help me?"
"I only need one of his fingers, the little finger."
The masked man in black looked calm: "Just now, his father, the Minister of Finance, categorically rejected our settlement plan for the release of Lord Skywalker in a closed cabinet meeting. Our leader believes that we must
You have to retaliate against this Mr. Minister, and you can’t stop this."
"Not even the little finger!"
Anthony's face was cold and his tone was tough: "If his fingers are injured, then I'm sorry, but I can't make what you want within ten days. Dacia has a special magic talent that can be used
Mana can perform precise manipulation at the nanometer level, and no one among you can replace him!"
The masked man couldn't help but be surprised and fell into deep thought. After about 5 seconds, he made a decision: "Then change it to toes!"
This time, he didn't give Anthony a chance to speak, and directly swung the long knife in his hand, slashed it into Dacia's leather shoes, and then walked away.
"Take out his toe, heal his injury, and put on a good pair of shoes."
Ten minutes later, in this transparent glass laboratory, Dacia Rockefeller's face was already distorted, and his eyes were blazing with anger.
"I swear, I will kill him! If I can get out of trouble, I will chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!"
Anthony Braden smiled silently and bitterly, thinking that this might not be easy. Not only did these people have the strength to banish the two legendary fourth-level bodyguards to the star realm in an instant, but the plans they made were also extremely sophisticated and thorough.
They used Atlanta's magic tower array and many hostages to block the powerful people from the Light & Magic Industry and the government outside Atlanta. And within the city, the only ones who had the ability to rescue them were those few.
A family of demigods.
But the problem is that these forces have been secretly fighting for nearly twenty years, and the artifact Longwei has completely detonated the contradictions and conflicts between them. At this time, no matter which one, I am afraid that they cannot mobilize enough
