In the next few days, the Federation was very quiet, but things were very strange in Europe.
The Cartier Group and the Gevonne Group completely changed hands and were quietly acquired by the renamed Immortal Group. The market reacted greatly, but it was of no use.
Because neither Cartier, Gevonne nor the Immortal Group are listed, the market reaction has no effect on these three companies.
The Immortal Group devoured the two pieces of fat meat that were delivered to its doorstep step by step. It took them a whole month to finally eat the two pieces of fat meat into their stomachs.
Mid-September.
Emilia called.
"Deal done."
"knew."
"Then I will deliver the message for you?"
"good."
Lake said so, then thought for a moment and said, "Prepare a bank account and put two million US dollars in it!"
Emilia smiled and said, "I thought you weren't short of money."
Lake shrugged: "There's no shortage on the surface, but there's a big shortage in secret."
Basically, the money he earned from the lottery was the commission he earned using his identity as the Black King. However, Lake's order-taking principles still restricted him as far as the apparent salary and bonuses were concerned.
It's just enough to maintain my current relatively luxurious lifestyle and save some money, but it's totally unrealistic to use my salary and bonus directly for lotteries or something.
Ever since he used a small portion of the 100 million US dollars to make a living again, Lake has become more indifferent.
Save it up first, and when you have enough, go all out.
Of course, the goal is to maintain a completely invincible position. However, Emilia has already received everything, and there is no doubt that Hydra is ready to take action. At this time, it is better to save some money for the lottery so that when the time comes, you will not be so passive.
As for why I didn't ask Emilia for it before?
nonsense.
Lake didn't spend a penny, and Emilia gave birth to a little girl for her. The Immortal Consortium was considered the betrothal gift from Lake, and the two assets of Hydra that were acquired this time were considered the legitimate joint property of the couple.
so...
Before, Lake didn't want to ask his woman for money due to his self-esteem, but now it's different. It's no problem for him to ask his wife for two million in pocket money.
Emilia nodded: "Okay, I'll have someone set it up and send you the account number."
Lake hummed and hung up the phone.
Eyes flickering.
The prelude is over, so what's the next step? Hydra is ready to deal with him, sending assassins openly to carry out an assassination operation directly in New York, the lair of this senior official of the Department of Homeland Security?
still...
What excuse could you find to trick him out and then attack him on the road?
After a while.
Lake's phone prompted that he had received a text message.
A string of numbers.
"top up!"
"bite!"
[Recharge successful! ]
[bite!]
[The recharge agreement takes effect, and 30% of the recharge amount enters the magic incubation pool (current progress: 70%)]
[bite!]
[The progress of the magical incubation pool has reached halfway. Do you want to consume ten draws to incubate the Force?]
[Confirm/Cancel! ]
"…"
This time, Lake asked Emilia to transfer money just for this magical hatching time that can only be hatched by recharging. Every time he looked at the progress that was still 30%, Lake, who had some mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, felt very uncomfortable.
The war is about to begin, so it would be nice to publish it.
just in case...
Did you win the jackpot?
confirm!
Lake's mind moved, and the number of lottery draws, which was originally in the early 20s and had an extremely ugly interface, suddenly dropped sharply and stopped at ten lottery draw opportunities.
Then.
Buzz!
Lake frowned slightly, and a seed suddenly appeared in front of him.
Next second.
boom!
Lake watched helplessly as this thing, which looked like a plant seed and emitted a strange light, slammed into his forehead.
Then.
A stream of information like a waterfall almost flooded Lake's sea of consciousness.
[Force Seed: SSR-level, Passive, Mystical. It is an energy field created by all living things, surrounding and permeating us. It possesses the power to unite an entire galaxy, or... you could call it... divinity! (May the Force be with you!)]
[As your power grows, you will gain the following strengths.]
[Enhancement: For example, fast movement, up and down movement, and superhuman reaction speed.]
[Induction: Induction of life, induction of spirits... sensing the existence of life and even its inner emotions. If the Force cultivation reaches a certain level, one can even directly see through the subject's thoughts.]
[Telekinesis: Use the Force to control the movement of objects. The size of the object moved depends on the level of Force reserves.]
[Control: The premise is that the other party is weak.]
[Force Lightning: …]
"…"
Lake felt the information that was almost flooding his sea of consciousness, and his mouth opened wide.
Divine power?
...wrong.
Divinity?
Pooh!
The Force!
MMP!
It turns out that what you get for free is always the best, and what you get by paying for a lottery is never as good as what you get for free.
have a look.
These are the three things Lake has gotten for free since he was sixteen.
SSR-level immortal body.
Mysterious side glasses without levels.
And this one today is called the Force, but it can also be called divinity, the Force seed of the motive force.
This is really forcing me to get as much for free as possible in the future.
He worked so hard to make money for the lottery, but ended up feeling lonely. After working hard for a year, he went all in and ended up feeling lonely. Lake remembered that feeling very clearly.
He felt like he was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage.
But right now?
Lake felt that he had turned the tide in an instant. Just with this one seed of divine power, there was no doubt that Lake felt that he had saved at least ten years of effort.
Make a fortune.
Lake felt like he was about to suffocate with happiness. If he had known earlier that this magical incubator could produce all kinds of things after it was full, why would he work so hard? He would have begged Karen to sponsor him with some money a long time ago.
In Star Wars, the birthplace of the Force, the Force is divided into the Light Force and the Dark Force.
But Lake?
Unify the Force!
The movie talks about cultivation, and Lake talks about quantum mechanics.
In Star Wars, unifying the Force means integrating the Force of the entire universe with oneself, transforming it into the will of the Force. Force-sensitive people in this state were once called "Gods" by Jason.
In the movie, the Force needs to be cultivated by oneself, and Riker, on the other hand, talks about plundering...
Just like now.
Lake got up, walked to the window of the study and opened it.
Push harder!
Open your arms.
Take a deep breath.
Next second!
Cough cough cough!
Lake opened his eyes, his handsome face flushed, and he quickly closed the window, walked to the computer desk, and drank the rest of the bourbon.
Shit.
I'm holding on!
As Lake coughed continuously, in his sea of consciousness, all kinds of emotions that he had just absorbed were swarming towards the Force seed hanging high above the sea of consciousness.
justice.
Kindness.
fear.
anger.
…
The moment all kinds of emotions entered the Force seed for the first time, they directly began to attack Lake's sea of consciousness. Lake's face changed as if a dyeing workshop had opened.
In those azure eyes like the deep ocean, all kinds of lightning, thunder, wind and clouds surged!
Ten minutes later.
Lake took a deep breath and opened his eyes. In his eyes, the sky and the deep sea seemed to have returned to their former tranquility.
Damn.
so...
I also need a kingdom of God of my own so that I can absorb things without restraint.
Lake's eyes flickered.
Divinity.
Divine power.
Kingdom of God.
All three are indispensable. Divinity is the foundation, while divine power and the kingdom of God complement each other and are indispensable. He can write as he pleases in his own kingdom of God. This is the Earth, and it is not an unowned land.
Lake blinked, his eyes fixed on the number of draws.
Think about it.
Lake shook his head and put the idea aside. He had just won something good, and if he drew the lottery at this time, he could guarantee that there would be ten extremely perfunctory things.
Take your time.
No rush.
He is no longer the gambler who goes all in as soon as he has money.
The decision has been made. The remaining ones will be taken away in one wave. There is no need to ruin my good mood before the big battle.
Not cost-effective.
Lake opened his right hand towards the empty wine glass on the table, and with a buzzing sound, the empty wine glass was instantly sucked into Lake's hand.
Immediately following.
Lake released his Force seed and adjusted the flow to ensure it was below a stable threshold. He slowly allowed it to absorb the air spread around him as he moved.
When the Force Seed absorbs more, one day, the Force Seed will take root, and then break through the soil and sprout. Sooner or later, this small Force Seed will grow into a towering tree.
The World Tree?
Lake blinked.
At the same time.
A message was released in Europe by the Immortal Queen Emilia of the Immortal Royal Family. From now on, the human being, Lake Edwin, will no longer enjoy the protection of the Black King and the Immortal Royal Family.
soon.
This information spread in the dark world at an extremely fast speed. Of course, those who received this news were all from the extraordinary world.
The general criminal world is not a truly dark world.
The people in the dark world were a little confused when they received this message.
Who is this Lake Edwin?
Of course.
Some people also know Lake Edwin.
For example, Hydra.
After the two industries were transferred to the Immortal Consortium, Daniel Whitehoe had been waiting for the announcement from the Immortal Royal Family. He was also afraid that the Black King would go back on his word.
But now.
Daniel Whitehoe felt relieved. The Black King had been dealt with, so the next step was to sharpen his knife and go after the pigs and sheep.
Think about it.
Daniel Whitehorse looked at the men who came in to report the news: "Follow the plan and execute it!"
The subordinate nodded.
Of course.
The same message was received in London.
London.
Magical dimension.
On the fifth floor of the Magic Building, in the office of the Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, who is responsible for enforcing magical discipline within the territory.
A ginger, bow-legged, round-faced cat named Crookshanks appeared at the window, then jumped down from the window and landed directly in front of a woman who was working at her desk.
"Ha ha."
The woman nudged the big-faced cat and said, "I'm in the office. Go play by yourself."
Crookshanks meowed, telling the news he had just heard at the pet bar.
The woman looked up at Crookshanks. "Really?"
Crookshanks meowed.
The woman frowned.
"What did he do again?"
"Meow!"
"…"
