Chapter 06: Chapter 6: Scam

In the manor on the island

The carriage slowly drove into the manor. Through the small window on the carriage, you can see gangsters in black suits everywhere in the manor.

No, not only in the manor.

In fact, people in black suits have already started to stand guard 1,000 meters away from the manor.

"Because of some special reasons, someone may come to trouble our Felke family recently, so the garrison is relatively sufficient."

At this time, in the carriage, in addition to the four people of Rhodes, there were two people from the Felke family including Jason. Jason seemed to feel Gray's doubts and explained.

"I believe you have also seen, Mr. Gray, we all use flintlock rifles, and we have to reload them after each shot.

I am looking forward to the kind of firearms you designed that can fire continuously. If it can be mass-produced, the power of our family will surely develop rapidly."

Gray just nodded when he heard this, and didn't say much.

For him, firearms are just a means to obtain research funds. What he really wants to study is a warship that can pass through the sea and surpass [Pluto].

However, can you really build the warship of your dreams just by relying on your own research without going to the sea?

Even if there are other people who can do experiments for you and provide detailed experimental data, can the data provided by those untalented guys really be accurate?

Gray felt that his original shipbuilding plan was difficult.

While thinking, the carriage stopped, and several people got off the carriage and walked into the door under Jason's guidance.

In the magnificent hall, gangsters in black suits were lined up on both sides. There was a huge long table in the middle of the hall. At the end of the long table, the burly gangster Phil Kell with a big back hair was shrouded in thick smoke.

"No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a dinner party."

On the huge long table, there was nothing else except a glass of red wine in front of Kyle.

The door behind him slowly closed, and Jason put a red wine glass on the table near them, then took out a bottle of red wine, opened it, and slowly poured a glass.

"Dr. Gray, right? I really like the weapon you designed before. Drink this glass of wine and join our Felke family. From now on, you will be responsible for the design of various weapons. Whether it is fine wine or beautiful women, as long as you want, I will provide you with it."

Kyle exhaled a puff of smoke, holding a cigar in one hand, and holding the wine glass in front of him with the other hand, gesturing from a distance.

"That's great, I also like fine wine and beautiful women. And the thing about designing warships mentioned before..."

"I said, you only need to be responsible for the design of weapons."

Kyle frowned slightly, and a group of younger brothers standing in the hall immediately took out their guns and pointed them at the four people standing over there, including Gray.

"Are all researchers so stupid that I have to make it clear.

We are gangsters, not pirates. What does the so-called warship have to do with us? You just need to listen to my arrangements and design weapons well. You don't need to worry about other things.

If you do well, I can arrange for you to go out to sea to relax every once in a while. This is my preferential treatment for scientists."

"As for the three of you."

Kyle turned his eyes to Rhodes and the other three.

"I'm sorry, this matter is the top secret of our Felke family. I can only trouble you to die."

"What, you guy!"

Hearing Kyle's words, Gray's face changed drastically.

"Call me Boss Kyle in the future!"

Kyle's face was gloomy, staring at Gray closely.

"Drink it quickly!"

Gray looked at the glass of wine in front of him, his eyes full of struggle.

"If I agree to your request, can you let the three of them go? They are just people who got involved unintentionally, and I don't think they will tell anyone about what happened here."

"Do you really want to join them, design weapons for them, and give up your dream of building ships?"

Rod looked at Gray. When he talked about his dream before, his eyes were shining, but now, that light has gone out.

"But... If I don't agree, the three of you will die."

"You have been deceived once, why are you still so naive? Do you really think he will let the three of us go?"

"You are a smart man."

Kyle looked at Rhodes for the first time. He had seen many such mercenaries on the sea, but they were just small characters that were not worth mentioning. He only cared about the young scientist named Gray in front of him.

The other party was a genius in weapon design. He grew up with guns since he was a child and was very sure of this. As long as they had the new type of guns designed by the other party, their Felke family would definitely become the largest arms dealer in the North Sea.

Kyle once again looked at Gray, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"If you drink this glass of wine, you will be a member of our Felke family. You can work for me with peace of mind in the future, and you will definitely get benefits. Otherwise, I can only let you die here with them."

"I really can't do it..."

Gray slowly stepped forward and reached out to pick up the wine glass.

Seeing this, Kyle smiled.

"It has always been my dream to build a battleship that surpasses [Pluto]! You want me to give up my dream and become a puppet who designs weapons for trash like you. How can I agree to such a thing!"

Smashing the wine glass in his hand to the ground, Gray immediately grabbed the bottle and threw it towards Kyle across the long table.

Bang——!

After all, Gray was just a scientific researcher. The wine bottle did not hit Kyle, but just hit the table in front of him. The bottle burst and the bright red liquid splashed on Kyle's face, making his face even more terrifying. .

"Catch this kid and kill the other three!"

Following Kyle's angry roar, the boys in the hall loaded their guns, unsheathed their swords, and rushed forward with howls.

Although he spoke resolutely, when he saw dozens of gangsters rushing towards him, Gray was immediately frightened and backed away.

"Really, I feel very unhappy now that I was slipped around and watched such a clumsy drama!"

Holding down Gray who was retreating, Nia's yellow vertical pupils shrank slightly.

"At least give me the money first!"

With a loud shout from her mouth, Nia's long legs rose high into the sky, and then the shadows of her legs flashed, and the few people rushing at the front flew backwards.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just as Nia kicked several people away, a group of gangsters in the distance shot at three people.

Just as they were shooting, Nailu flicked his wrist and fired one after another with the black gun in his hand. In an instant, all ten bullets were fired. After accurately hitting the bullets fired by the opponent, his power continued unabated and directly hit the opponent's gunman. , a blood flower bloomed from ten people's bodies almost at the same time, and then they fell down.

"Let me borrow your knife and use it."

Rhodes turned his body slightly to one side, grabbed the opponent's knife-holding palm, reversed the blade, and slashed across the opponent's throat. After weighing the knife in his hand for a moment, Rhodes gathered some strength, swung it out suddenly, and slashed through the opponent's throat. It flew out of the sky and threw away all the tables and chairs in front of them.
