Wu Heng also breathed a sigh of relief and then said, “What about Xi Ligui? Coming over for dinner tonight?”
“Sure, Xi Ligui just went out, we'll come over when she's back,” Shi Yali said cheerfully.
“Waiting for you.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Wu Heng called 'Mackintosh' to check on the situation on the island.
Then he invited her to come to the Island Lord's Mansion for dinner.
Dusk.
Andre Willow and Annette returned from outside.
Xi Ligui's sisters, and Mackintosh, who was in charge of the island's intelligence work, successively arrived at the Island Lord's Mansion.
They sat around the dining table, chatting and eating dinner.
Since Mackintosh joined them, the Flower Nectar Wine Shi Yali brought was not drunk and was set aside on a shelf, planning to continue next time.
After dinner.
They gathered in the living room, waiting for Wu Heng to discuss the purpose of calling them.
“Is there something you need?” Xi Ligui asked curiously.
Shi Yali and Mackintosh also looked on curiously.
Wu Heng directly took out three potion bottles, “Each of you take one, don't talk about it outside.”
Seeing the familiar shape of the potion bottle, their pupils suddenly constricted.
Although they had drunk this type of potion before, just yesterday at the auction, one bottle had sold for fifty thousand gold coins.
A level 15 fugitive from the association only had a bounty of 600 silver.
Fifty thousand gold coins, enough to buy all of their lives.
Xi Ligui frowned and watched for a while before saying, “For us? Why not sell them at the auction?”
Shi Yali also followed up, “Yeah, we're not in a hurry.”
Wu Heng smiled and said, “The money is enough for now, what we need to do is improve our strength to hold onto it.”
“That's true, but I feel it's better to sell it, if it's thirty thousand, the news will definitely sell,” Xi Ligui said again.
Mackintosh glanced at everyone and said lightly, “I'm not in a combat profession, let Island Lord sell mine; Assistant Xi Ligui and Shi Yali can drink theirs.”
The promotion of the elixir is that it's made from precious materials and is low yield.
Aside from Wu Heng and a few maids in the Island Lord's Mansion, everyone else thought the same.
Wu Heng continued, “Money is important, but our strength and safety are important too, trust me, each of you take one.”
The three looked at each other, seeing Wu Heng was serious, and did not continue to argue.
The whole island had developed to this point by following Wu Heng's ideas, naturally, he had thought more than they had.
Each took the potion bottle in front of them, opened the cap, and drank it back.
A sour taste flowed into their stomach, followed by the side effects of the potion, their bodies curled up, enduring the pain.
Soon, the pain gradually subsided, and the three straightened up.
“How is it?” Wu Heng asked.
“I can feel my body getting stronger,” Xi Ligui said.
Shi Yali wiped the sweat from her forehead, “Fifty thousand gold, just gone.”
Mackintosh also shook her shoulders, stretching her muscles.
Wu Heng said with a blessing, “Remember, don't talk about this outside.”
“Understood.”
The three nodded earnestly.
Association, dormitory.
Lilith sat on a chair, her eyes fixed on the two potion bottles on the wooden table in front of her.
Wu Heng had given her one bottle, the other was purchased at the auction.
After pondering for a moment, she opened a bottle of potion and drank it directly.
The moment the potion entered her stomach, her beautiful brows instantly furrowed, and with a flip of her hand, a bottle of Detoxifying Potion appeared.
However, soon the discomfort disappeared, and a sense of strength filled her body.
“It really works.”
Even though she knew the auction wouldn't fake it, such a clear sensation still surprised her.
Then, she opened the second bottle and drank it.
The same sensation occurred again.
Gold and Silver Island really is a special place.
“Sister, let's go outside and play!”
On one side of the wall, Xiao Xiao peeked in.
Lilith put away the potion bottles and asked, “Where do you want to go play?”
“Let's go to the tavern and listen to stories; it's still open.”
“Let me change my clothes.” Lilith changed her clothes and then jumped out of the window.
Heading in the direction of the main road.
The next day, Zombie World.
Wu Heng followed the convoy and arrived at the designated location for the resource exchange with the Korea Rescue Team before noon.
As noon approached, a faint electric current came through Qi Hancai's walkie-talkie, followed by a voice, “Sister Qi, the Korean convoy has arrived.”
“Take them to the conference room.”
“Understood!”
The call ended, and Qi Hancai looked at Wu Heng, “Any instructions?”
“Just proceed with the trade as usual, and I'll handle the investigation,” Wu Heng said.
“Don't we need to record it? It could serve as evidence.”
Wu Heng smiled and said, “When will there ever be a need to bring this before a tribunal? There's no need to record it.”
“Alright!”
Qi Hancai nodded, straightened her clothes, and headed straight to the neighboring conference room.
After sitting in the room for a while, the door opened, and the representative from Korea walked in.
“Vice Leader Qi!”
“Commander Lee.”
The Korean representative sat down across from her, a smile on his face, “Vice Leader Qi, we still need to buy some food from you.”
“We've traded before, no need for formalities,” Qi Hancai turned her head and said, “Go and check the materials, then finalize the food settlement.”
“Yes, Sister Qi.”
The person behind her nodded and walked out.
Qi Hancai's gaze returned to the other party, and she smiled, asking, “Commander Lee, how is the Skeleton I arranged for your side doing in its studies?”
“Still learning. Are you sure these Skeletons can learn?”
In another room.
Wu Heng sat inside, eyes closed, listening to the conversation next door.
His senses heightened, even through a wall, he could vaguely hear the contents of the conversation if he concentrated and kept quiet.
It was all normal trade talk.
Collecting appearances, isn't that what their rescue team is supposed to do?
Why do they sound so normal?
As he pondered, Glenda flew back in, saying, “I've come to get the cell phone and the photos.”
Wu Heng's eyes narrowed, “Let me see.”
Glenda merged into his body, and the images were shared into his mind.
After the Korean convoy arrived, the main individuals entered the building to discuss the material trade with Qi Hancai.
Glenda followed the survivor tasked with gathering Wu Heng's likeness.
Soon, someone walked over.
Checking that no one was around, he asked, “Got anything?”
“Yes,” a basemate patted his pocket, then said, “Tell me first, what do you need these photos for? I don't want any trouble.”
The other party handed over two chocolate bars, “Your leader is quite famous out there. Who wouldn't want to know what he looks like? And now, there are no portrait rights anyway, what are you afraid of?”
The basemate frowned, “Fame or not, what does that have to do with a photo?”
“Don't ask, I don't know the specifics either. Anyway, the higher-ups are quite interested in him.”
“Then I can't give it to you. Who knows what you'll do with it?”
The other party, growing desperate, said, “Don't worry, it won't implicate you.”
The two murmured for several moments, worried that speaking too much might let others catch on.
Still, the basemate handed over a cell phone, “It's in the gallery, no password.”
“Thanks, brother.” After saying this, the person stuffed two boxes of cigarettes into his pocket and then turned to leave.
Glenda followed the person back to the convoy.
Seeing that he didn't mention this to anyone else…
Glenda flew right back.
After ending the shared view, Wu Heng released Glenda again.
“What's portrait rights?” Glenda asked.
“It means my facial features cannot be misused by others; it would be illegal,” Wu Heng explained.
“The laws here do appear to be quite comprehensive,” Glenda remarked, and then asked, “Did you find anything?”
“Nothing, but he mentioned it's the higher-ups at the headquarters who are checking, probably referring to the top executives,” Wu Heng pondered.
The phone given was one Qi Hancai had arranged in advance.
The people in the photos were long gone; nothing could implicate him now.
Just then, Xiao Xiao and Bella also flew back.
“Uncle, how many people did you arrange to give photos to?”
Wu Heng looked at her, “Just one, why?”
Xiao Xiao said, “Bella and I also noticed people exchanging phones; could they also be exchanging photos?”
Wu Heng looked at Bella, who nodded, “Not just one, it seems related to this matter as well.”
There were other people…
