Blood continued to spurt out, and Captain Black Mamba slowly fell to his knees.

His eyes were wide open, filled with infinite shock, as if he could not accept his own death!

But in fact -

"No injury? No injury! What's going on? Why didn't I die when his blade inserted into my chest?"

The captain was greatly shaken, but he did not show any sign of it, and could not show any sign of it.

He clearly felt an inexplicable force suppressing him, making him unable to make any other sound except a painful groan.

He was obviously not injured, but the bright red blood splashed and sprayed, quickly forming a pool of blood.

Whose blood is this?

"Ah."

Hewlett looked at the captain lying on the ground and chuckled inexplicably.

He closed his eyes slightly and savored it, then suddenly became violent and stabbed the captain's vest several times, piercing his flesh.

Afterwards, he dragged the captain like a dead dog and threw him into the open porthole——

With a clang, the "corpse" fell into the water and quickly disappeared as the waves rose and fell.

Hewlett stood there for a moment and silently closed the porthole.

The other side.

Captain Black Mamba's body rose and fell with the waves, and was even wrapped in inexplicable magic. He was in high spirits and clear-headed, but he had no control over his body and could only drift with the flow.

After who knows how long, he was washed up on a beach by the ocean current, and the magic that imprisoned his body was also released at this moment.

The setting sun in the sky was like blood. Black Mamba slowly stood up and found a spotted puppy squatting in front of him: "Hello, human."

...The dog spoke?

After floating in the sea for a long time, Black Mamba's mood has stabilized.

He asked: "Did you—did you save me?"

"As expected of an undergraduate from Imperial College, he has a smart brain and a good receptive ability." The puppy showed a hint of sarcasm, "Yes, I saved you. You can call me the War Demon, I We are currently looking forward to a possible unprecedented battle.”

ha……

not understand well.

Captain Black Mamba did not hesitate at all, lowered his head and said: "Thank you for your help, Lord Demon! I...can I do something for you?"

"How's your memory?"

The captain was startled: "What?"

The puppy remained motionless: "Memory. Do you remember the words on the stone tablet you saw before?"

Well--

The situation was quite special at that time. The captain only took a few cursory glances. After realizing the meaning of the words on the stone tablet, he was confused and had no memory.

When the devil asked at this moment, he could only say: "I only remember the beginning and the end. It is a detailed formula for the promotion potion. The person who wrote the formula is the 'Eighteen Seats of God' in the Sky City."

"Hmph... You don't seem to be a person who can achieve great things. Such precious information should be remembered by all possible means, right?"

The sarcasm on the War Demon Dog's mouth was even more intense.

"However, for a 'handle', having no talent is actually a good thing. You can be easily controlled."

The war demon said as he began to dig at the sand.

A moment later, the potion formula written on the stone tablet was written down completely!

It squatted beside the formula and said, "Remember it, then write it into a letter and send it to the Hesse people."

Captain Black Mamba used his brain to show off in front of the demon in front of him.

He hesitated and asked: "Do you want to threaten the Hesse family?"

"You are not hopeless, at least you have some brains. Yes, including saving you, my purpose is to make the Hesse family feel threatened and cooperate with them in certain fields. This is what I want to do things that are beneficial.”

The war demon was silent for a moment.

It looked at the captain and said, "This shouldn't be difficult, right? For the sake of saving your life."

The captain gritted his teeth and said, "I hope Hesse dies!"





Three days later, the armored ship entered the harbor.

Zuo Chang jumped off the boat and said to the excited Hewlett, "I'm so ashamed. Mr. Hewlett, I couldn't help this time."

"It's not your problem, it's that the team I hired was not professional enough. Alas, I didn't expect their combat effectiveness to be so weak, and that captain's spirit to be so fragile!" Hewlett shook his head and sighed, "Of course, you will not be short of wages. Within today, someone will deliver the reward to your house."

"Thank you."

Zuo Chang and the Saint stood side by side, watching Hulett and his group leave in a hurry.

All as expected.

The captain who survived at first could no longer bear the mental pressure and committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea. Everyone who landed on the Initial Island died except Zuo Chang and the Saint.

The saint looked at Zuo Chang and asked, "What's the next step?"

Zuo Chang shook his head: "The key formula has been sent out, and the next step is to upgrade."

The other side.

Hewlett walked faster and faster, and when he arrived at the Hessey mansion in South City, he almost started running.

"Father, father!"

Before he reached Leonard's study, Hewlett couldn't help but scream.

He didn't knock on the door, just turned the doorknob and said with a smile: "You will never guess what I found. You and everyone else will be excited about it!"

His smile quickly faded.

There were several people sitting in Leonard's study, and two elders of the Hesse clan were also in the room. In addition to them, there was a scantily clad and beautiful woman sitting next to Leonard, who seemed to be a distinguished guest.

Hewlett felt something and was suddenly surprised——

This beautiful woman actually has fifteen realms!

Leonard looked at Hewlett with deep meaning and scolded: "Furry! How do I usually teach you?"

"...I'm sorry, Father. I'm just too excited."

Hewlett squeezed the package in his hand.

There is a piece of human skin with the formula imprinted on it, which is the only and most valuable trophy of this trip.

"Ah la ah la, Master Hewlett is back."

The beauty stood up and smiled.

She bowed and said, "Can we continue after the negotiation? I have a lot of time."

Leonard raised his hand and said to the other two elders present: "Send Ms. Witch to rest."

The others got up and left, leaving only Leonard and Hewlett in the study.

Hewlett stood respectfully. When the door closed behind him, he couldn't restrain his smile and took two steps forward.

Before he could speak, Leonard handed over a piece of white paper filled with words and said, "Take a look at this first."

When Hewlett picked it up and looked at it, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning!

He discovered that what was written on the white paper was actually the content on the Stone Tablet of the Beginning Island. He opened the package in his hand, spread out the human skin while Leonard frowned, and compared them one by one——

Totally consistent!

this……

Hewlett raised his head: "Impossible! Father, the formula for the potion has been made public?!"

"idiot!"

Leonard raised his voice and scolded loudly!

He pointed at Hewlett's nose and continued: "If it were your sister, Agnes, she would never make such a stupid mistake! You...you completely ruined the good situation! Let me ask you - Did you kill that Captain Black Mamba?”

Hewlett blinked: "Kill... I stabbed him many times, and the knives all went to his heart."

"Idiot! Idiot!"

Leonard grabbed the teacup on the desk and hit Hewlett hard on the forehead.
