Isaac had initially felt his life had reached its peak, floating on cloud nine.
However, a message from Zhang Chen instantly yanked him back to reality.
*Hiss*... How could he forget about such a killing god!
Isaac scratched his head in annoyance.
It was true that he had made a substantial profit using Zhang Chen's [Automated Sentry Turret].
But if Zhang Chen was willing to trade with him, he must have been profiting as well.
Zhang Chen's strength was already superior to Basel's.
Half a month had passed since their last meeting, and who knew what level this killing god was at now?!
Looking at the message, Isaac didn't reply immediately.
Instead, he paced back and forth in the presidential suite.
He currently had no way to predict Zhang Chen's strength.
Theoretically, the profit Zhang Chen made from the sentry turrets couldn't compare to his own earnings.
He bought them at 110, sold them for over 200, then over 300, making a profit of nearly 200 crystal cores per unit.
As for Zhang Chen, even if the cost of producing the turrets was zero, 110 multiplied by 1500 was approximately over 160,000 energy crystal cores.
This amount of crystal cores probably wasn't even enough to advance from Level 1 to Level 2 of the Advanced Awakened!
Thinking of this, Isaac couldn't help but straighten his back, a relaxed and even smug smile appearing on his face.
If calculated this way... it meant Zhang Chen's strength was no longer a threat?
If that were truly the case, it would be wonderful!
Previously, Zhang Chen had instructed him to find the whereabouts of the Ice Condensing Flower within three days, but he failed.
Later, he was instructed to find Lin Qingsong's whereabouts, which also failed.
Even later, he had earned a large sum of crystal cores through Zhang Chen's [Automated Sentry Turret]...
From beginning to end, he had been in Zhang Chen's debt.
But now, with a powerful force by his side, Isaac felt much more at ease.
Even if not looking down from above,
At least he could converse with Zhang Chen as an equal!
With this thought, Isaac calmly sat back on the sofa and opened the chat interface.
He quickly typed: Is there something you need?
After sending the message.
Isaac looked up at Bruny, who had just pledged his allegiance, and said lightly:
You rushed in so anxiously just now, you even broke the door. Was there something urgent?
Bruny, having just narrowly escaped death and been promoted a level, was eager to show his loyalty.
He replied respectfully:
It's like this, boss. Just now...
Before he could finish, Isaac interrupted him with a gesture.
He gently wagged his index finger and said:
No, no, no, don't use those gang-related titles on me!
I said, I'm a businessman, not a criminal!
I prefer to be called boss!
Isaac paused here and clipped a cigar.
Amelia, with keen insight, offered the lighter and held it to the cigar for a while.
Once the cigar was fully burning and its aroma wafted out, she stopped and handed the cigar back to Isaac.
Isaac took a satisfied puff and said to Bruny:
Continue!
Alright, boss! Bruny was learning fast. He continued:
Some survivors were causing trouble at the entrance just now, and they killed quite a few of our guards!
Originally, I was going to ask you, boss, to come forward and gather people to teach that guy a lesson!
But now... now that you're here, boss, and your strength is far greater than the previous boss!
With you in charge, I doubt anyone would dare to cause trouble!
Isaac took a puff of his cigar, narrowed his eyes, and said:
Someone dares to cause trouble in my hotel... ah... no! In my city?
I think they're tired of living!
Coincidentally, the entire city has changed owners, and I need to kill to establish my authority!
Let's make an example of them!
After saying this, Isaac paused. His cautious nature compelled him to ask for more details:
How many troublemakers are there, and what's their strength? Are they male or female?
Bruny replied:
The troublemaker is a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, very agile and strong! A young man is accompanying her!
She calls the man 'Dad', and there's also a giant wolf next to them, which is also an energy beast!
Their strength is unconfirmed, but it should be above Stage 3 of the Intermediate Awakened!
In short, these individuals seem quite troublesome!
Isaac slowly nodded and repeated:
Little girl, father? Giant wolf?
Could it be... I'm overthinking it?!
Isaac had encountered many strong individuals since he started running the hotel.
However, the only one that gave him a headache was Zhang Chen.
Unfortunately, this fellow was not only powerful but also extremely cunning.
Threatening someone and then adding them as a friend – was that something a normal human would do?!
For this reason, Isaac had worried for over ten days and nights.
Only recently had this worry slightly eased.
This person shouldn't be Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen was so young, how could he have a child of fourteen or fifteen?
Even if he had a child, why would he bring the child with him when he went out?
Therefore... this must be another group!
Isaac muttered to himself, analyzing.
Boss... were you talking to me just now?
Bruny asked nervously.
No, no, no, I was just recalling some past events!
But it's okay, it should all be in the past now!
Gather the main forces of the Gorilla Legion at the city entrance!
I'll have Basel bring the elite squad to assist you!
Isaac said confidently.
Um... we don't need to go to the city entrance!
I just received intelligence that these troublemakers have already moved along the main road towards us!
It seems they are heading straight for our headquarters!
Bruny said indignantly.
He didn't expect these guys to be so arrogant. Not only did they kill people, but they didn't hide, and dared to directly challenge the headquarters!?
This was completely disregarding the Gorilla Legion!
Even better, it saves us the trouble of finding them!
Gather the troops now. I want to witness this victory from the balcony!
Isaac said with a smile.
Alright, boss, I'll go arrange it!
Bruny bowed slightly and then hurried out.
*Ding dong!*
At this moment, Isaac received another message.
It was from Zhang Chen.
I need you to help me sell some things, probably some weapons, armor, that sort of thing... maybe blueprints too!
Isaac frowned and replied with a smile:
"Probably"? Mr. Zhang, aren't you joking too much? Don't you even know what you want to sell?!
Soon, Zhang Chen quickly replied:
That's right, I'm going to raid a camp later. There should be a lot of good stuff, but I'm not sure exactly what.
Raid a camp?
An ominous premonition suddenly arose in Isaac's heart...
