Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

Marco saw Isaac coming and quickly ran over.

“We saw each other just yesterday.”

"Why can't I see you?"

"You performed on stage yesterday, and I watched from the audience," Marco said, scratching his head and chuckling. "Is there something you need from me today?"

"Were you in the extermination squad before you worked for the Cristiano family?"

"what?"

Marco was startled by what he heard, then looked around and saw Mrs. Lavaux chatting with Warwick.

"Did Ms. Lavo tell you that?"

"Yes, I heard that his granddaughter is his girlfriend, right?"

“You mean Constance?” Marco said slowly. “You’re right. I was in the Second Destroyer Squad before I joined the family.”

Chapter 569: He Understands War Completely

Could you please tell me which characters the destroyer squad members should be wary of?

“I don’t know exactly who will be in the reorganized extermination squad, but I think one of them will come.” Marco massaged the bridge of his nose to clear his head a little.

As a member of the Cristiano family, he didn't sleep a wink all night after hearing that the expulsion team was coming again.

"Who?"

“A man named Stryker, he killed the Twilight race in an extremely cruel and fearless manner, he is also incredibly strong and has a wealth of combat experience,” Marco said in a deep voice. “If we encounter him, we might be in danger.”

"Just how powerful is it?"

"It can smash a concrete wall with one punch and lift a car."

"..."

It seems pretty average.

"I know Mr. Isaac is very strong, but if we encounter him, it's best to..."

"Kill them sooner rather than later, so they won't become a menace?"

"It's better to run away sooner rather than later. He was already very powerful many years ago, and I can't even begin to estimate his current strength."

"Escape is impossible; don't even think about it."

"...Never mind, I suppose you're no ordinary person."

Currently, a large number of Twilight People are gathered here. A small expulsion team of just a few people could have caused a great deal of casualties among the Twilight People back then. It is more reliable for them to gather together and take refuge. This way, we can concentrate our forces for defense.

This place is home to convenience stores, former executives of the Cristiano family, elites of the Twilight Race mercenary group, and Isaac's IW rapid reaction force. Even the most powerful extermination team cannot break through this defense.

“Speaking of which, Ms. Lavaux’s granddaughter is really slow. She should have arrived by now,” Isaac murmured. “Could she have gotten lost too?”

Marco's face instantly turned ugly upon hearing this.

Constance grew up in Yelkastum, so there's no way she would get lost.

“Excuse me, Mr. Isaac, I need to go out and find her.” Marco instantly left Isaac’s side and walked towards the door. “When the leader arrives, please apologize for me. I need to leave for a while.”

"Oh, but you're going alone..."

Before he could finish speaking, Marco had already rushed out the door in a great hurry.

"Let him go."

Luca suddenly appeared out of nowhere, walked up to Isaac, and said with a smile, "He's been working for this family for over a decade, it's time to give him a day off."

"Your employees don't even get a vacation. Does that mean you're a gangster after all?"

Isaac made a few complaints about Luca, then took out his phone and called Erica and the others.

The call connected shortly afterward.

"Hey?"

The person who answered the phone didn't speak to Erika, but to Kim Cheol.

"Hey? How do you have Erica's phone? Where is she?"

“That…Erika, she…”

Jin Zhe looked at Erica, who was leaning against the wall, with some difficulty. It seemed that she had some health problems after overdosing on the celebration medicine.

As the one who administered the medication, Jin Zhe didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

“Give me your phone,” Erica said.

"Oh."

She took the phone and held it to her ear: "Hello? Is this Isaac?"

"It's me, Erica. Are you alright?"

No, I didn't worry you.

"Really? Your voice sounds a bit weak." Isaac could still detect something was wrong through the phone. "I'm coming right now, you guys wait here for a bit."

"No need, where are you now?"

"The Cristiano family's territory, which is BASTSARD, is where I originally wanted you to gather..."

"I'm coming right now."

She hung up the phone before Isaac could say anything.

"Are you...are you really alright?" Jin Zhe was very flustered.

Although the main reason was that Erika swallowed half a can of medicine directly, she was the one who gave her the medicine, so she bears some responsibility.

'What should I do... I'm sure Mr. Isaac will scold me when I get back.'

"I still have some inhibitors here, how about..."

"unnecessary."

Erica's tone suddenly returned to normal, and she didn't seem weak at all.

"Are you...really okay? How are you feeling right now?"

"I feel..."

Click!

The wall that Erica had been leaning against cracked when she gently squeezed it with her fingers.

"I feel great."

-----

Isaac is waiting here.

He was now waiting for the two to return before investigating the movements of the expulsion team, when the loudspeaker came on.

"Hello everyone, I am Prime Minister Bennett Owen."

"The crimes committed by the Twilight Race have become increasingly egregious recently, and many of our citizens have been persecuted by these monsters."

"They are the culprits behind the nation's decline..."

The announcement over the loudspeaker reached everyone present, and their faces turned grim.

Is the government finally going to take action against the Twilight Race?

"People! I hope you can unite and, through our joint efforts, drive these monsters out of our country!"

Upon hearing this, Luca immediately turned off the radio.

"Damn it! Is the government finally going to step in?"

The Twilight Race members and their clan leaders present all had grim expressions; they knew what this speech meant.

A nationwide movement against the "twilight race" will be launched, just like the massacre of the "twilight race" by mobs more than 20 years ago.

Back then, the people here attacked the Twilight race to satisfy their primal desires. Did they never expect history to repeat itself?

Isaac, however, remained remarkably calm.

"Calm down. The only enemy of us is the prime minister of this country, not the government."

"What do you mean? Doesn't the Prime Minister represent the highest executive authority of the government...?"

"Then turn on the radio and take a look."

Luca hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then turned on the radio again.

The voice coming from inside was no longer that of the Prime Minister, but that of a local radio station.

"According to reliable sources... our head of state, Bennett Owen, has a large sum of money stored overseas..."

"It is said that he abused his power..."

They are all smearing the head of state of this country.

"What exactly is this...?"

Isaac smiled meaningfully: "This idiot thinks he can fight me with the people, but he doesn't understand what war is. Real war is not as simple as crushing someone with weapons."

"what?"

Bang!

Just then, the door outside suddenly opened, and Marco returned, covered in sweat and looking extremely anxious.

It was obvious that he couldn't find Constance.

"How about it?"

“She must have been taken away.” Marco sat dejectedly on the sofa. “It must be Stryker, he’s the one who did it!”

Chapter 570: Isaac silently put away his gloves

"What? Ms. Lavaux's granddaughter has been kidnapped?"

"That must be it."

Marco seemed extremely remorseful. He hated himself for not having been quick enough to save her before she was kidnapped.
