"Previously, the Vice President and the others came to Glory City to deal with some matters of the Chamber of Commerce, and then went to the wilderness... Unexpectedly, they encountered a siege by strong men from the savage tribe near the 'Red Stone Canyon'..."
The steward of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce was very vague, but he roughly explained what happened.
The team encountered a strong enemy, and Uncle Sam was responsible for breaking up the rear, and then got separated from the team led by the lady.
They originally thought they would return to the city first, but unexpectedly, Sam, who was seriously injured, was the only one to come back.
The whereabouts of the lady and several of Benjamin's offerings were unknown.
... ..
Ren frowned when he heard this.
When they came to the City of Glory before, the countess and Uncle Sam went directly to the wasteland, and he guessed that they must have other purposes.
But at that time, he didn't know the existence of the money empire called "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce".
He didn't know that the ordinary Uncle Sam in front of him could actually kill the third-order "exploding brown bear" that almost wiped them out with one shot.
Oh, it is really difficult for a simple and honest uncle to play a rookie.
But obviously, the four major worshipers of the Sombra Chamber of Commerce, plus the presence of the vice-president in person, wanted to play a "big" ticket.
Now that I think about it, it is very likely that the "big event" is directly related to the Coleman tribe where Udo belongs, maybe it is a relic, a treasure, or something else.
Recall that before, the supply group of the Chamber of Commerce was robbed by the "Black Skull Phantom Thieves" in the wilderness, and then was besieged by the savage tribe.
It is not difficult to speculate that the lady probably fell into someone's scheme.
This also confirmed Ren's previous speculation that someone was planning to take action against the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce".
At the end, the steward Chapman sighed again: "Hey... So our Chamber of Commerce headquarters decided to issue an SSS bounty mission and let the liars in the 'Glory City' work together to find their whereabouts. This matter will be completed soon. Everyone will know..."
After listening, Ren also frowned slightly.
A novice like him couldn't help at all in this matter, so he could only pray silently that nothing would happen to the lady.
What's more, the wealthy Black Gold Chamber of Commerce seems to be planning to release an "SSS bounty mission with a reward of tens of billions", so there is no need for him to worry about it.
... ..
After sending away the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" group, Renn returned to the laboratory and began to write a report on the previous operation.
Dude, dunk, dunk.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
But I don’t know why, but today no one visits the laboratory, which usually doesn’t come to the laboratory for ten days and a half.
Not long after the people from the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce left, an old man wearing a black dress, a bowler hat, and a silver cane visited the laboratory.
Irubek didn't seem to like visitors, but he had to accept them.
Ren listened to their conversation. This guy seemed to be an elder of the Winster family, the head of the five major families in Glory City.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the atmosphere in the laboratory seemed a little awkward.
After the polite greetings, the old man asked directly: "Dr. Ilubek, the head of the family asked me to ask you if I can help you with the things I discussed with you before..."
Ilubek: "I have already said that I am not capable of it yet. Unfortunately, I can't help you. Please come back."
The old man seemed to be well prepared and continued: "The head of the family has promised that as long as you perform the operation, even if you fail to save your life, the reward will still be large. Moreover, we have already prepared all the materials for the operation, and we don't even need to You do it yourself, you just need to be there to guide the doctors in our hospital..."
These words seemed to touch a certain nerve in Ilubek.
He refused again, with a tone that was not disgusting: "I told you, I can't save you."
Throughout the whole process, the conversation between the two seemed like a charade.
Renn on the side was a little confused.
He vaguely felt that this was not like a simple door-to-door medical consultation.
... ..
After being rejected one after another, the old man's eyes flashed with gloom.
His tone became less polite, and he added: "Doctor, you should know. After all, you are a wanted criminal in Omar. How much pressure does our West family bear to provide you with shelter and a stable experimental place? .. And we have never asked for anything in return. Now, . . . I just need you to do a little help that you can do. Do you really have the heart to refuse?"
What this means is that it is no longer so friendly.
"Ah!"
When the old man Irubek heard this, he lost his temper and snorted coldly: "If I don't agree, are you, the Winster family, still planning to hand me over to Omar? Haha, Master Kavo has set the rules. Isn’t it easy for you, the Winster family, to do this? I am protected by the City of Glory out of gratitude to Master Cavo, not you, the Winster family!”
Having been threatened in the face, the old man said this without any shame.
"This fifth city is the city of our Winster family!"
When the old man in formal attire heard this, his face suddenly became very gloomy, and he said coldly: "Your Excellency Ilubek, are you going to stop thinking about it? If you don't take action, the old master of the family will not be able to survive these days... By then, There is no turning around.”
In his opinion, a guy who can't be used, no matter how profound his attainments are in the medical field, has no value at all!
Over the years, this old man not only refused the offer to train doctors and potion masters for his family, but also almost never treated the patients they needed to treat. He spent all day immersed in research in this laboratory and could not create anything for the Winster family. any benefit.
Now they actually refused to help the old family leader extend his life, which made them intolerable!
At this time, Irubek didn't give him a chance to speak anymore, and said to Renn: "Renn, see off my guest for me!"
Before Ren could say anything, the old man in the uniform threw down his sleeves and turned around, leaving an unceremonious snort, "Doctor, please take care of yourself!"
... .
After seeing off the evil guest, Ren returned to the laboratory.
Although the little old man from Irubek has a bad temper, Renn has never seen such an angry look on his face.
The old man's face was so dark and ugly that he was as irritable as if someone had repeatedly trampled on certain bottom lines.
The old man didn't mention what happened just now, and Ren didn't ask anything, just practiced silently.
But he kept staring at the old man out of the corner of his eye.
None of the eight spider arms moved, and it looked like it was distracted.
This is very abnormal for a scientific research madman who wants to spend all his meal time using injected nutritional solutions instead.
Thinking about it, Ren still asked: "Teacher, are you... okay?"
For a long time, no one answered, and the silence in the laboratory was a bit uneasy.
After a while, a long sigh sounded.
Ilubek finally spoke and asked Ren, "Are you curious, what kind of help did the Winston family member want from me just now?"
Ren thought about the previous conversation and said, "Performing an operation on a dying big shot?"
Ilubek frowned noncommittally and asked again: "It is a doctor's bounden duty to save people. But if... saving a 'big man' requires sacrificing another civilian, or many other innocent civilians, do you think it should be saved? ?”
After hearing this statement, Ren vaguely guessed something.
In this "semi-slave and semi-feudal society", the rights of the aristocracy cannot be violated.
The lives of civilians and slaves were worthless and were completely the private property of the nobility.
But Ren, a traveler in the harmonious society of the 21st century, are you telling me that the fate of nobles is superior to others? Bah, give you a thumbs up!
He said without hesitation: "Everyone is equal before life. No one has the right to let innocent people pay the price of their lives just to survive!"
Hearing this, Irubek glanced at him and nodded in approval.
At this time, he asked again: "Do you know...why I was wanted by the Omar royal family back then?"
Finally, the old man told the unbearable past.
Ren heard from Bazel that it seemed to be due to the sudden death of the prince.
But obviously, the 80% chance of being involved with the old man is not some palace feud, but definitely a medical issue.
He guessed: "Is it related to one of your previous research topics?"
After hearing this, Irubek's expression softened a little and he praised: "You are very smart."
After a pause, he continued: "The old head of the Winston family has reached the end of his life, but he still wants to live longer. With his strong financial resources, he used all kinds of means to allow him to live for a few more years. Satisfied. Then I thought about paying attention to the 'head transplant surgery' like 'Prince Fox' did back then... In other words, everyone in their family is thinking about this surgery."
Head transplant surgery
Ordinary people may still find it incredible, but as a time traveler, how could Renn not know what these words mean
When he heard this, he blurted out the words in his heart.
Is this old man really developing this heaven-defying technology
