Chapter 272: Dog Blood

"Dear Andre, when you see this letter, it should be several years later, and your mother and I will already be dead. For the sake of a regret, Elena and I have to embark on an adventure that may cost us our lives. So before we leave, we have placed everything we have here, awaiting your arrival—"

"I'm sorry, even in this letter, I cannot tell you the truth. I'm not sure how powerful our enemies are. According to common sense, even thinking about His name might be sensed by the other side. However, I have entrusted a friend; when you, Andre, one day gain enough power, he will tell you the truth."

"—I must remind you to be careful of the Wiltenstein family, especially the children of your grandfather's first wife, Hannah Wiltenstein. I think that when you can open that dial, you already possess some strength. But this also means you will enter their field of vision."

"Actually, I'm not worried about your safety; your grandfather will take care of you. But I'm worried that you might be deceived—"

"I still have some subordinates on the continent of Antolia, but you don't need to count on them. Some of these people only work for money, and you don't have enough wealth to support them. Others are simply not my people. Only Robert Yvonne, if she finds you one day, you can trust."

"As for the property here, this is the accumulation of your mother and me over the years. It all comes from the continent of Antolia, funds and goods obtained through some dishonorable means when I operated the 'Wings of the Alliance' joint fleet. So when you use it, you need to be a bit careful, especially those magical energy materials, which might easily arouse others' associations."

"Andre, if you are willing, you can give half of these properties to your sister. Of course, this is based on your voluntary decision. I have a premonition that Jennifer's situation within the Wiltenstein family will become increasingly difficult, but the money you provide her will only make her go further down the wrong path. I prefer that you hold this fund as a retreat for her."

After Li Mochen finished reading everything, he stood still with a frown.

Elena Wiltenstein left two letters, one for the original owner and one for Jennifer. They contained no special information, only a mother's apology, care for her children, and words of concern. After reading them, Li Mochen couldn't help but tear up; this was an emotion from the original owner, which Li Mochen couldn't control and didn't want to control.

The one left by Li Chunchu revealed a lot of information, giving him a deeper understanding of the Wings of the Alliance joint fleet and the situation of several hunter groups. Unfortunately, this man still didn't explain the cause of his death, nor did he disclose what they planned to do beforehand, only telling him to be careful of Hannah Wiltenstein's children.

According to the original owner's memory, that was Consul Wiltenstein's first wife, who died over forty years ago. She had three children, the three most advanced in the inheritance sequence of the Wiltenstein Group. Each of the three held powerful forces and assets worth hundreds of billions of gold shields. Even without counting the Wiltenstein Group, they were among the top wealthy in all of America.

—Was this a family ethics drama?

Li Mochen couldn't help but curl his lips, feeling it was unbearably melodramatic.

Then he turned his attention to the documents below. Below were bank checks worth twelve million gold shields; then some asset certificates. Li Chunchu and his wife, through several offshore companies registered in the Cayman Islands and a complex equity structure, controlled seventeen fixed assets located at home and abroad, distributed across America, South America, and Europe, as well as many stocks and securities of unknown value.

But at this moment, what Li Mochen cared about most was the alloy box.

According to Li Chunchu's instructions in the letter, it contained an adult gift for him. In addition, there was another item that he was to find a way to send to the ancient Eastern country, to certain specific people, when the time was ripe.

When Li Mochen carefully opened the alloy box, he found on the left side a pair of alloy gloves, and on the right a crystal-yellow seal.

But when Li Mochen saw the seal, his pupils contracted sharply.

—He recognized this seal. In the mythological history of the East, this object was extremely famous.

Li Mochen immediately retrieved the pair of alloy gloves with lightning speed, then closed the alloy box again in the first moment. He feared repeating his past mistake, causing the location of this item to be sensed by others. Even though the place he was in now was the underground vault of the Swiss Bank Group branch, a heavily sealed treasury.

……

Li Mochen walked out of the Swiss Bank Group branch wearing the alloy gloves on both hands. This was a high-tech magical energy auxiliary equipment released by 'Light Demon Industries' a year ago, called 'Thunder Hands'.

The gloves were very light, almost weightless on the hands, yet possessed excellent protective capabilities. When in danger, they could transform into armor covering his upper body and generate a small arm shield—the key was that this form-fitting armor made of memory alloy did not conflict with most other armors, allowing for effective double-layer defense. It also had a simulated invisibility function, making it hard for others to see even when worn on the hands.

In addition, it could increase the user's strength by about forty tons and was permanently imbued with four powerful lightning spells. Magic stones could be embedded on the back, and the gloves would refine them into usable magic power or source energy. It could even achieve a degree of invisibility, making it difficult for others to perceive its existence during daily wear.

These many powerful abilities gave this equipment a rating as high as 19S!

Despite the 'Thunder Hands' being so powerful, it was still only an auxiliary equipment that could be worn by a level 10 magic profession user. Therefore, the price of 'Thunder Hands' was exceptionally high, reaching nineteen million gold shields. So after 'Light Demon Industries' released it, only a few pairs were sold in total. The serial number of the pair Li Mochen held was '03'.

"BOSS, any gains?"

Soon after Li Mochen left, Li Tailai called at the right time: "I think Mr. Li should have left something for you."

Li Mochen rubbed his brow: "He did leave something, but it's not much help to me now—"

The property left by Li Chunchu was mostly black money that couldn't be exposed. After deducting the fixed assets and magical materials that were temporarily difficult to appraise and sell, what difference was there between one hundred million gold shields and one hundred seventy million gold shields?

If he had obtained this before going to war with Antonio, the situation would have been different. But at that time, he probably couldn't have opened the turntable left by Li Chunchu.

"I roughly guessed that."

Li Tailai laughed bitterly over the phone: "Compared to your current money-making ability, BOSS, Mr. Li is indeed much inferior."

Now, just the lucky bracelet product launched by Nathan Group alone brought Li Mochen a daily fortune. And as Li Tailai knew, Li Mochen had recently signed with a brokerage company, which was now negotiating endorsement contracts with major luxury brands. This matter had already appeared in the newspapers, causing quite a stir in Atlanta City.

"But our funds are more abundant now."

Li Mochen then changed his tone: "A Tai, did you get the thing I asked for?"

Two days ago, he had commissioned Li Tailai to collect beast crystals of large magical beasts from the dark world. The requirements were level 17 or above, with three attributes of ice, fire, and earth, and within ten hours.

This was for refining an external elixir; Li Mochen's previous one had shattered during the sealing, so he had to refine a new one. And Li Mochen's requirements were now higher, because his physique had strengthened, allowing him to bear more magical power and true essence.

This was also in preparation for the seven 'Disaster Flame Apostles'; Li Mochen needed enough magical power to complete the magical ritual he had planned.
