Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

The leader pointed at Jenny, who had just been shoved into the car, and said, "We have something to discuss with this woman. We'll pay her a thousand dollars for each person she takes."

"Oh, I see. This is a good opportunity to earn some pocket money."

"Yeah, why don't you join us in criticizing them too..."

boom!

Before he could finish speaking, blood burst from his chest.

"I'm sorry, this is a business deal worth millions."

After saying that, he drove Jenny towards the Black Reef Company's office.

Chapter 614: Preventing the Conflict

"One hundred AK-12s, ten thousand rounds of 5.45mm ammunition, two hundred hand grenades and fifty stun grenades, as well as ten TOW anti-tank rocket launchers. The grappling hooks and body armor also need to be replaced with the latest models... You guys really came prepared for your trip to Japan."

Isaac is currently in the office of the 'Moscow Hotel', with a bottle of vodka beside him.

The list in her hand contained the equipment that Balalaika would bring on her trip to Japan.

“This is for market expansion, so we can’t be careless.” Balalaika said, puffing on a cigar.

The only person by her side was the scarred man who had always been with her; he seemed to have been a sergeant when he was a Soviet special forces soldier.

As for the other soldiers, they were dealt with during their drinking contest with Isaac.

“Actually, you can talk to George directly about this kind of order; you don’t necessarily have to come to me.”

“You were drinking here anyway, so I just happened to come looking for you,” Balalaika laughed. “Besides, I really don’t want to talk to an American.”

"Never mind then, it's the same if you come to me."

Isaac put the order away.

This deal could make a considerable amount of money, but it wasn't a huge sum for Isaac. However, compared to Roanapur's other buyers, the 'Moscow Hotel' was already their largest client.

Isaac continued looking at the order list, which even included patch bombs and shotguns, clearly indicating that the company was prepared for urban warfare.

"Is there something about Japan that you're unhappy about? Actually, I also sell ballistic missiles here."

“I can’t afford such nice things, and I don’t need them,” Balalaika said with a laugh. “Even if I bought them, I wouldn’t use them to bomb Japan. I’d like to try it out in America though.”

"You don't need to lift a finger; I'm going to blow that up sooner or later anyway."

"I remember you're an American citizen of Chinese descent, just like Two-Hand, right? Doesn't this count as bombing your own hometown?"

"Of course not. My hometown isn't in this world, and who knows, I might become a Chinese citizen someday and contribute to socialist construction."

"That's only if they're willing to accept you, you bastard."

Ring ring.

The two were chatting happily when Isaac's phone rang.

The number above appears to be the office phone number for the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce.

"Hey?"

The phone blared with deafening gunfire and Revy's screams:

"Isaac, where are you now?"

"Moscow Hotel office, what's going on here? Is there a gunfight?"

"We originally planned to take that woman with us and leave on a torpedo boat, but Dutch went out to get another job, so we had to stay at the office. There are a lot of people outside trying to break in!"

"Wait a moment, I'm coming right now."

Isaac hung up the phone and said to Balalaika, "Sorry, something happened with Levi, I need to go there."

"Do you need me to provide manpower? You sold me so many weapons, so to show our friendship, I can spare some of my men to help you. They are all top-notch elites."

"Thanks, I'll handle things here myself."

He finished the vodka in the bottle and silently left the room.

-----

Isaac rushed to the Black Reef Company's office and found it engulfed in flames.

Various strangely dressed thugs, wielding all sorts of weapons, opened fire on the Chamber of Commerce. A few bullets were also fired from inside the agency.

"...Never mind, it would be strange if there weren't gunfights in this city."

He walked between the two groups, and everyone stopped firing instantly when they saw someone approaching.

"Who is this kid? It's too dark to see clearly."

"It seems to be Mr. Isaac."

"What did you say!?"

The thugs who were hired to kidnap Jenny are now completely baffled.

What was initially thought to be a simple job of kidnapping a programmer turned into a conflict with the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce after the involvement of a violent church.

These two forces are quite influential in Roanapurna.

They finally managed to force the cowboys to raise their wages from $1,000 to $30,000, but now Isaac seems to have gotten involved in the matter as well.

If Isaac gets involved, they'll have to abandon the commission.

If you offend this person, you'll never be able to buy any weapons or even ammunition in Roanapur again.

Isaac looked at the people who had ceased fire, took a deep breath, and shouted:

"Stop it, everyone! Anyone who makes another move is disrespecting me!"

Upon hearing this, those lying in ambush in the distance and those in the firefight zone laid down their weapons.

The fact that these thugs can act so arrogantly in Roanapur means they're not exactly stupid.

"Mr. Isaac, about today's events..."

"I will replenish your ammunition at market price. Of course, you don't need to provide a list of the people who hired you. I know about that."

After Isaac finished speaking, he left them aside and went to the still-burning office.

……

The fire that had started in the office was extinguished with a wave of his hand, and he went inside and saw the people still confronting each other.

Levi and Ada raised their guns and aimed them forward; in front of them were two other women.

One was Shen Hua, wearing a high-slit cheongsam, and the other was a girl Isaac had never seen before.

The girl had smoky eye makeup on her face, wore a Gothic Lolita uniform, and was holding a huge, blood-stained chainsaw.

"Huh? Isaac, you're here?" Shen Hua exclaimed in surprise.

They all put down their weapons when they saw Isaac coming.

"I didn't expect that your $1,000 job would involve such a big deal."

"It's gone up to 30,000 now."

"So, do you plan to continue doing this?"

"Never mind, it's not convenient for me to take action with you here." Shen Hua sheathed his knife and raised his hands.

Putting aside Isaac's identity in Roanapura, he knew from the moment he met him in Yelkastum that Isaac's personal strength was beyond his capabilities.

Who is the girl next to you?

"Her? Her name is Soya, the famous 'scavenger' of Roanapur~"

Isaac had heard of the name 'Scavenger,' a person who specializes in helping gangs dismember corpses. The chainsaw in her hand was probably her murder weapon.

Luo Ya took out something that looked like a stethoscope and placed it on her neck. Isaac happened to see a stitched scar on her snow-white neck.

It seems that an accident caused her to lose her vocal cords.

"Nice to meet you... Mr. Isaac..."

Some unpleasant electronic sounds came from the machine in her pocket.

Chapter 615: The End of the Farce

“‘Scavenger’ Sawyer? Nice to meet you.”

The two shook hands briefly.

From the moment we started, a woman had been hiding in the corner—Jenny, the woman at the center of this incident. She was cowering in the corner, looking terrified.

"What a farce."

"Yes, but it's worth it after all, since it's an original counterfeit banknote worth millions."

Ada laughed heartily to the side, clearly not someone who had just experienced a major battle.

The mercenaries on the other side suffered heavy casualties, while Ada and Levi only sustained minor injuries. Sometimes, once the difference in strength reaches a certain level, it becomes impossible to compensate for it with numerical superiority.

Isaac walked toward Jenny, who was still trembling.

When Jenny saw Isaac coming, she tried to back away, but there was no way to go.

"Miss, hand over the original counterfeit money you have on you, and I can guarantee they won't attack here for the time being. But because of this incident, I need to get some compensation for those people, so you know what I mean."

"This one……"

"Original cash is not required. Since you entrusted the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce to ensure your safety, we have now done so, and you need to make payment on time."

"that……"

For some reason, Miss Jenny's forehead was covered in beads of sweat.

"What's wrong? Didn't you bring that with you?"

“Well… actually…” Jenny looked away somewhat embarrassedly, “I don’t have the original.”

"..."

The office was initially silent, but Ada couldn't hold back any longer.

"You damned woman, you dare ask me to help you escape without the original?!"

"It's all because you tricked me! Otherwise, why would I be being hunted down?"
