Chapter 77: Divine Departure
Chapter 77: Divine Departure
The next day, Central, St. John's Cathedral
Inside the solemn and elegant Gothic building, Blank looked at the holy and brilliant sunlight shining on McCall and felt a little envious for a moment.
How great it would be if he was standing on the stage right now!
Before Blank woke up from his daydream, McCall had finished today's chanting and blessing, said goodbye to the lady, and slowly walked towards him.
"You must have come here to bring me good news today, right?"
McCall looked at the Western businessman in front of him who was a head shorter than him, and his tone was not as warm as his appearance showed.
“Yes, yes, of course, Bishop McCall, I think I know where the supplier and seller of the secret medicine are negotiating business.
The next time he goes there, I will lead the musketeers to ambush him.
We can't afford to offend his master, but can we afford to offend the merchants who work with him?"
“I hope you have found the true direction this time. You must be careful when doing things, and don’t act rashly before you have fully understood the strength of both sides.
Those elite musketeers are the property of the empire, not your personal property!"
McCall looked at Blank, who was full of confidence, but still knocked on the key with some concern.
"Don't worry, Bishop. This time we will only follow them and not take any action. We will first find out the details.
When they deliver the goods, we can launch a surprise attack. Wouldn’t it be great if we could capture both the people and the money? !”
Having learned the lesson from the death of Gerald last time, Blank was very cautious in dealing with these warriors. He hurriedly told McCall about his plan, hoping that the Bishop of Kowloon could help him with some advice.
McCall couldn't find any fault with Blank's arrangement, so he nodded and emphasized again,
"Nothing else matters, we must get the formula for the miraculous medicine!"
"Your Excellency, that is certain. But if I really gain something from this operation, what will we do with our cooperation with Miss Lucy?"
Blank crouched down and asked respectfully, while lowering his head to hide the malice overflowing in his eyes.
“No matter how good she is, she has black hair, although it’s a pity that her skin is as white as jade.
But when have we ever shared our fruits with others? "
There seemed to be some regret in McCall's words, but this did not prevent Blank from fully understanding what he meant.
"Blanc knows that Miss Lucy has always been pious to God. I will do my best to send Miss Lucy to heaven to meet God, so that she can listen to the Holy Voice at the knees of God all the time!"
"Go, good boy. The Lord is watching you from heaven. Don't let Him down."
McCall patted Blank's shoulder gently, turned around and walked deeper into the church, facing the sunlight. Soon, the tall figure disappeared from Blank's sight.

The Peak, Lee Family
The mansion was decorated with great care today, and a long line of servants stretched from the hall to the front door.
Even an outsider could tell at a glance that something big seemed to be happening today.
“Master, come back!” “Master, come back!” “Master, come back!”…
Before the servant outside could finish his words, a middle-aged man in a neat military uniform walked into the Li family mansion.
Li, who was waiting in the hall, heard the servants calling out, and hurried out to greet the warlord who had not returned home for a long time.
"Master, you're back. I missed you so much!"
Li's words did not cause any ripples in the middle-aged man in military uniform. He sat on the sofa in the hall while unbuttoning his clothes.
Looking at the woman who was as majestic as a female leopard in the eyes of outsiders, lying at his feet and acting coquettishly like a shivering cat begging for sympathy.
The middle-aged man in military uniform with a cold and domineering face did not make any move. Instead, he questioned in a cold tone.
"Have you finished what you were asked to do?"
"Master, it's almost there, but it will be done soon!" When Li heard the middle-aged man in military uniform asking the question, her tone was a little flustered for a moment.
"I will only stay for three days this time. If I don't see the secret recipe of the miraculous medicine for inflammation after three days, you can enjoy the same life as your predecessors."
"Master, rest assured! I have found a clue these days. I will offer a large reward tomorrow. I will give you the formula of the miraculous medicine within three days!"
When Li heard the words "enjoyment" and "ex" from the middle-aged man in military uniform, she seemed to think of something extremely terrible. Her body kept shaking and her eyes were full of fear.
The middle-aged man in military uniform listened to Mrs. Li's promise, grinned with some noncommittal, and did not care about this chess piece who acted under the name of Mrs. Li. He turned around and looked straight through the shadow at Yu Yang who was standing silently.
“Master Yu, once I get the formula for the miraculous medicine, you can make your move.
As soon as that McCall dies, I will immediately present you with the treasures I promised you before, and I will never break my promise."
Yu Yang stood in the shadow of the hall, listening to the promise of the middle-aged man in military uniform, and nodded.
"Okay, then we'll settle the deal once we've paid for the goods."
"Master, Bishop McCall has helped you a lot. He...he shouldn't be punished by death."
Before Li could finish her words, her face was firmly grasped by the big hand of the middle-aged man in military uniform, and she could no longer utter a single word.
"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. Foreigners? They cannot be trusted!
If I ask you to seduce that McCall, you won't develop feelings for him, right?
Um? ! "
The middle-aged man in military uniform taught Li a lesson without mercy, because in his opinion, the life and death of tools was not important. This one was broken and unusable, so just change it.
"No, no"
Hearing Li's difficult denial, the middle-aged man in military uniform loosened his grip.
He threw the woman to the ground, took her clothes, and dragged her upstairs.
After a while, there were incessant cries and screams coming from the building.
In the hall, Yu Yang, lying in the shadow in the corner, remained silent and motionless like a sculpture.
Jinliyuan, herbal medicine storehouse
While Li Chongguang was checking the accounts in the account book, he was watching Qin Huai who was learning from the master chef.
"Brother Huai, do you think the foreigner and the Li family will be fooled? What if they really want to join forces to do this business?"
"Don't worry, not to mention that these two families seem to be in harmony but actually at odds with each other.
Even if the two of them really want to join forces to steal our business, I have a backup plan to ensure that we make a profit.
You, just wait and see!"
Qin Huai looked at Li Chongguang who was still somewhat puzzled. He continued to prepare the medicinal materials in his hands while giving the young master the bottom line.
"The production of this medicine has been increasing recently, and the cost has also dropped a lot, so it can be sold in large quantities.
If these foreigners and warlords are still planning to take the path of making things more valuable because they are scarce, then isn’t our inexpensive and genuine inflammation medicine the best way to deal with it?”
"Brother Huai, there are still so many dignitaries and celebrities waiting to use gold to buy this medicine. Shouldn't we do business with them?"
“Hehehe, we still have to do it, but we should make small profits but quick turnover.
Although the price is a little bit lower, won’t we make more money if the production and sales volume increase?
We can’t just sell them at a high price and let the remaining medicine spoil, wouldn’t that be a waste of resources?”
"Brother Huai is right. It would be better if the production could be higher. I don't know when this good thing will be available to ordinary people."
"Come on, come on."
