Back in the car, Lucian lit a cigarette and checked his stats.
[Lucian Bckthorn: Human. Strength: 50. Agility: 50. Intelligence: 70. Skills: Joyful Heart Technique. Points: 2000. Joyful Heart Technique: Level 10. Increases strength by 50, agility by 50, wisdom by 50, base attack power by 75, physical damage reduction by 0, elemental resistance by 0, and movement speed by 110. Movement speed increases by 10%. Max level is 20. Each level increases strength by 5, agility by 5, wisdom by 5, base attack power by 5, and movement speed by 1%.]
No wonder his movements seemed more agile earlier—it was because the Joyful Heart Technique had leveled up! He was a virgin, and Jill was a virgin, so when they made love, the Joyful Heart Technique leveled up so quickly!
Seeing this, Lucian seemed a bit excited. He had been fucking Jill for over two hours and still felt extremely energetic. The Joyful Heart Technique was indeed effective!
At the gym, Lucian tested his punches by hitting a sandbag hard. The tough sandbag showed some cracks, which made Lucian quite impressed.
Clenching his fists and looking at himself in the mirror, it seemed that the good days were about to start. Everything he had done before was for this moment!
“One minute on stage requires ten years of practice off stage.”
A grand pn began to form in Lucian’s mind. He wanted to "capture" all the women!
First, he needed to expand his influence. If nothing unexpected happened, Raccoon City would be nuked in two years.
Everything he had worked hard for here would be destroyed. He had to consolidate his power and expand it outward.
The mysterious and sexy older sister Ada Wong, the sweet and adorable Rebecca, the noble and mature CEO Excel, the pretty and spirited college student Cire, and so on. There seemed to be too many women to count, all waiting for him to save them, waiting for him to py with them.
Lucian had a bold idea that made him a bit excited. He quickly went to the city hall to find the current mayor, Warren. He had a crazy pn.
The mayor’s office was luxuriously decorated. In American politics, no one would care about this; it wouldn’t be strange to see a hundred-thousand-dolr bottle of wine. After all, it’s capitalism.
Mayor Warren was a bearded, overweight man with a sharp gaze. He had convinced Umbrel Corporation to invest in Raccoon City and established the Bright 21st Century Pn, which made him a remarkable man.
Of course, he was also a very ambitious politician, always striving to climb higher.
“Lucian, you have two minutes. If you don’t have important news, I’ll make sure you get fired tomorrow!” Warren poured himself a gss of wine and spoke in a very unkind tone.
Lucian didn’t mind and sat down in a chair. “Umbrel is now at its peak, but the board is already fighting internally. You know what they do; they started with pharmaceuticals. If what they are doing here gets exposed, even Umbrel can’t handle it. So, Mr. Mayor, don’t you want a backup pn?”
Warren clenched and unclenched his hand under the table where a holster holding a pistol was attached. “What are you trying to say?”
“We make money on our own without relying on others. I want to make a fortune, and you want to make money and advance your career. I have the connections, and you have the power. Working together would be a win-win situation.”
Lucian then handed over a photo. “This is evidence of your mistress having an affair with another man. She also secretly has evidence of your collusion with Umbrel.”
“Who are you, really?” Warren put down his wine gss and smmed the table in anger. He felt he was being led by the nose. This young man was not ordinary!
“I’m just like you, someone who works for Umbrel. You must have heard about their boratory in the outskirts. To them, a mayor is just an ant. Raccoon City is just a small city they control. If something happens in Raccoon City, you know the consequences.”
Lucian said nonchantly, his eyes tinged with a hint of mockery.
“Hmph, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Warren already believed a bit, but he still couldn’t be sure.
“Let me tell you something else. Three years ago, the Arky Mountain Hospital in the outskirts had not been shut down yet. An experiment was conducted there, and Umbrel subsequently locked up the hospital and abandoned it. You know what happened—they were testing drugs that turned patients into cannibals! Warren, I’m here to cooperate with you, not to scare you.”
Lucian stood up, leaning on the table and speaking loudly.
Warren’s hand trembled slightly. He poured another gss of wine and handed it to Lucian. “Tell me your idea.”
“Currently, smuggling makes the most money. I can find a way to get cheap cars, but you need to help get them into the city. Smuggling cars is only part of it; there are also these good things.”
Lucian was talking about things that could be bought cheaply but were currently restricted by customs.
The cost of a car might be less than five thousand but could be sold for fifty thousand—a huge profit margin.
“That’s not enough!” Warren didn’t find that amount of money attractive.
“I will take care of the other gangs in Raccoon City. I’ve investigated them; they don’t have Umbrel’s backing. They came from other cities where they couldn’t make it and ended up here. Give me a week, and I can bring all the gangs in Raccoon City under my control. From there, parking fees, saunas, game rooms, and protection fees could make us a billion a month. We can expand to other cities. I also have friends who make firearms that can be sold for a high price.”
Lucian’s eyes were filled with madness.
If you want to make it big, first take over Raccoon City and then expand to other cities. Once the profit chain is sufficient, he could reinvent himself as a legitimate businessman and start a real business. It was a perfect rags-to-riches story and a pn to go legitimate.
Warren was also tempted. “You know what I want.”
“Of course, the bigger my power, the more money I make. The more followers I have, with just a few benefits, I can easily get you votes. Being mayor is just your starting point. Governor, senator, secretary of state, vice president, and even president are all within your reach!”
Lucian’s smile was evil. He knew what the other party wanted. They both had what the other needed without any conflict. Why not cooperate?
