Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

She also understood that this was a den of wicked people, completely different from where she used to live.

"There's a lot to say, just briefly explain your value. We're not a charity here, and the nuns behind you won't be protecting you either."

"Isn't this a church?"

“The church will not protect criminals who print counterfeit money.” Isaac still had that smile. “You’d better state your price, or none of us here will protect you.”

Jenny glared angrily at Isaac.

"You little brat, you're really annoying."

“I call this being pragmatic. I have no obligation to protect a member of a counterfeit money gang who is being hunted down by the mob.”

"You just easily chased them away!"

“Simple as it may be, I have no obligation to help you, Miss Jenny. You get what you pay for; if you want protection, you have to pay the price. Or you can go to the police in Roanapur.”

"..."

Levi chimed in with a laugh, "By the way, let me tell you something. The police in Roanapur will take you to the detention center, and then—beep—beep—."

"Ah!!! I understand, I'll just give you the chips you want."

Jenny reluctantly threw the handbag she had been carrying in front of Isaac.

He opened the package and found a large amount of US dollars inside.

"What is this? Is it real money?"

“How could this be? These are all fake,” Jenny said. “I originally didn’t plan to bring out these unfinished products, but I was forced by circumstances…”

"They gave it to us?"

"I'll sell it to you for thirty thousand US dollars."

"Miss, if you find it amusing to play tricks on me, then I'm truly sorry."

Under Jenny's horrified gaze, Isaac raised the gun in his hand and aimed it at her.

"and many more……"

"If I'm treated as a Marvel Comics hero, I'll be the one who suffers in the end."

"Alright, alright, young Isaac, calm down," Yolanda said with a smile, trying to smooth things over. "If Isaac doesn't want to deal with her, how about we take over?"

"Do whatever you want, I don't want to see this smug Indian girl."

Isaac put the pistol away, which relieved Jenny.

"Alright, Miss Jenny, if possible, we can help you get out of this crisis."

"Huh? You're planning to take me in?"

“We won’t take in anyone of unknown origin here, but we can help you escape Roanapura,” Yolanda said with a smile. “Miss Levi right in front of you is an expert in this area, so you can ask her for help.”

"Huh? Why should I help this woman?"

"The Black Reef Merchant Guild would be happy to take on this task, but Miss Jenny, you'll still have to pay them."

“And counterfeit money is not allowed,” Levy added.

"Never mind then, I can't come looking for you." Jenny sighed, picked up her handbag, and walked towards the door. "Thank you for saving me, but I'll have to fend for myself from now on."

Where do you want to go?

"Find a place to stay for the night, and then figure out how to escape."

"You'd better be careful not to get into trouble in your backyard the moment you take off your shoes if you just randomly go to a motel," Ada said with a wicked grin.

Her words successfully made Jenny want to back out.

“I can tell you a good place,” Ada laughed. “There’s a cheap little shop called Lansapine across Lukevan Market. If you say you’re from the ‘church,’ they’ll arrange a room for you.”

"What kind of wind is blowing now?"

"It's not free; you have to donate three hundred dollars to the church."

"I see. After all, this is a church."

Jenny left three hundred dollars and walked out.

Isaac watched her retreating figure and slowly stood up as well.

"How pitiful, they just got out and are already being used by your church people."

"You can stop us, and we'll stop right away if you do."

“No, I had no such intention,” Isaac laughed.

Chapter 612: One Day I Will Be Your Enemy

“Okay! Two-Hand, let’s go over there now.”

"Huh? Why do I have to go too?"

"I'll give you half the money then."

"cut."

Ada had already set off, and Levi picked up her gun and followed.

She turned around and saw Isaac standing there, asking, "Aren't you coming with us?"

“To be honest, I’m not interested in that arrogant woman. You guys go ahead, I’ll probably be back later,” Isaac said with a smile.

"it is good."

Levi and Ida hurriedly left the church, leaving only Isaac and Yolanda there.

"Don't tell us your people want counterfeit money too?"

“What we need isn’t the counterfeit money itself, but the templates for it,” Yolanda laughed. “That’s what’s truly useful to us.”

"You didn't even report this economic damage to your employer? Looks like you're trying to make a quick buck off it." Isaac chuckled.

He knew the old nun worked for the United States, but she didn't seem particularly central to any particular cause.

“I’m still working for them, but the methods are different.” Yolanda continued, looking in the direction Ada had left. “Although all the organizations serve the country, their relationships aren’t that friendly.”

“You are not only working for the same country, but you will also be targeted by others.”

Isaac's gaze toward Yolanda had become somewhat sharp.

"Some organizations won't go easy on you just because of your internal problems."

"I don't need you to remind me, young Isaac. We will not become enemies."

"I doubt it," Isaac scoffed. "Remember when IW was first established? I transported some weapons for a few big dogs in the Middle East, and you guys targeted me, claiming my ship had nuclear weapons and demanding a forced inspection. Do you know how much I lost by ruining that deal?"

"But you're still doing it now, aren't you?"

"If I didn't actually have nuclear weapons, what do you think your superiors would have done to me? In the end, it was only after I pointed a bunch of nuclear weapons at Washington that you came to negotiate with me."

"This matter has nothing to do with us. We're still keeping your secret. Even the president doesn't know your identity."

"Fortunately, only we know about this, so both my reputation and the reputation of the United States have been preserved. However, at some point in the future, I will inevitably become an enemy of 'Uncle Sam.' Of course, you can report what I am telling you to your superiors."

Yolanda laughed and said, "Would I die if I reported this?"

Of course.

"Then there's no need for that. Although I'm old, I still want to live a little longer. I don't want to die at your hands like my colleagues did."

"A smart person."

Evening at Yellow Flag Bar.

Why are there so many people here today?

This restaurant is usually quite crowded, but today it seems to be even more packed than usual. Almost every seat is occupied.

The subtle killing intent in their eyes revealed that these were not the usual customers who came here for a drink; they were all seasoned assassins.

“These things happen occasionally. You’ll get used to it after spending some time in Roana Prado.” Levi swirled the wine in her hand.

She was no longer surprised by the current situation.

Isaac took a sip of his drink and looked around.

Where is that arrogant woman?

“She’s at the hotel Ada recommended, and she’s keeping watch outside right now.” Levi lay bored on the bar. “To be honest, I really wouldn’t have taken this job if she hadn’t promised to split the money with me.”

“Then you can just not answer. That woman is a nuisance,” Isaac said casually.

Ever since Isaac met Jenny, he felt that she was a somewhat clever but extremely proud person.

There are many skilled computer players in IW, but none are like her.

If Yolanda hadn't said she was still somewhat useful, Isaac would have shot her in the head and thrown her into the sea long ago.

The crisp sound of footsteps slowly approached him.

A glamorous woman in a red and white cheongsam sat down next to Isaac, smiling with her eyes narrowed:

"Little friend, it's been a long time."

"Ok?"

Isaac looked up at the person next to him; he seemed to recognize this person.

The location is... Yelkastum.

“Shenhua? What brings you to a bar? You don’t usually come here.” Levi quickly recognized the woman in the cheongsam in front of her.

"Of course, I've received a small task," Shen Hua said with a smile. "As long as you participate, the reward this time is $1000!"

"Really?" Levi instantly lost interest.

"Oh? It's rare that you're not interested in $1000."

“If you spend enough time with the person next to me, you’ll realize this is just pocket money,” Revy said, pointing to Isaac beside her.

“Him…it seems he really is,” Shen Hua agreed.

She already knew about Isaac's connection to IW when she was in Yelkastum, but nobody knew exactly how rich that company was.
