Operation: Cobra Is Back novel Chapter 54

When Primo and the others had left, Flora still looked nervous.

Duncan looked towards her and smiled, "Don't worry, the Dark Tiger Gang shouldn't be plotting anything for a while."

Hearing this, Flora nodded. But thinking about the thrilling scene just now, if Primo hadn't arrived, they would have died on the spot!

"I was worried that Lionel from Dark Tiger Gang would take action against you!"

It was a big gang after all, with great power in JN City. If they were to do something, it was definitely not something that ordinary people could fight against.

Duncan just smiled at her words, "They won't do anything until they are absolutely sure. All right, let's go."

After saying that, Duncan and Flora left the place.

Later that afternoon, Erica called and Duncan picked up the phone.

"Duncan, I've got everything you want."

Hearing this, Duncan's eyes lit up, "OK, I'm coming over now."

Half an hour or so later, Duncan arrived at the small cottage by the mountain and the water.

A thirty-centimeter copper furnace and a pile of herbs were placed on the table.

"Here's the list, the total spent was three hundred and forty thousand. The rest was left inside the bank card."

Erica looked at Duncan with mixed emotions and handed him the bank card.

Duncan took it in his hand and thanked her sincerely, "Thank you so much. You've done me a great favor!"

With these herbs, he would be able to start making pills for his practice!

He also knew that there were quite a few precious herbs here that could not be bought with money, and Erica must have put in a lot of effort.

"It was actually my grandfather who got someone to do it. I was just responsible for running the errands."

Erica said with a smile. When she had gone back and explained this to her grandfather, instead of refusing, her grandfather had looked excited.

That made her feel a little strange. However, her grandfather hadn't said anything, and she hadn't asked much.

But she instinctively sensed that whatever Duncan wanted with these herbs and the copper furnace was definitely not simple!

However, Erica was a smart girl and knew what to ask and what not to ask.

If Duncan wanted to talk about it, he would definitely not hide it from her.

"Well, thank your grandfather for me later!"

Duncan said with a nod.

Erica, on the other hand, gave a playful laugh and said, "It's better to wait until you meet my grandfather in person before thanking him. My grandfather has said that he would like you to go and meet him when you are done with the matter at hand."

Duncan raised an eyebrow and a complex light flashed across his eyes.

He knew that he couldn't hide his search for herbs from Lennon, and with Lennon's knowledge, he could surely guess what he was up to.

But he didn't think much of it and nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll pay a visit to the Wilson family when I'm done."

Erica picked up on Duncan's implication and said, "That's fine, just do your thing. I've got to get back to the station."

With that, Erica turned around and left without further delay.

Duncan ignored her and turned around, and looked at the batch of herbs in front of him with a gleam in his eyes.

In his previous life, Duncan had never been able to penetrate the mysterious golden page, but through it, Duncan had learned a lot. Elixir-making was one of them.

At present, his realm was too low and the elixir he could refine could only be some off-grade elixirs.

But for now, it was enough for him!

"As long as the Spirit Elixir is refined, my physique can be greatly enhanced and I can break through a level in my realm!"

Duncan thought in his heart, and without stopping, he simply began to refine the elixirs.

...

At the same time, in the Roberts Group chairman's office.

"I wonder what you have asked me to come here for?"

A loud voice rang out. It was none other than the boss of Dark Tiger Gang Duncan had met in the morning, Lionel!

At this moment, he was sitting on a soft sofa, surrounded by some powerful men.

And across from him was George.

With a goblet in his hand, he shook the red wine in it slightly and revealed a smile characteristic of a businessman.

"Lionel, I heard you had a run-in with a kid called Duncan today?"

At these words, Lionel's brow furrowed and his eyes twinkled with hostility, "Are you investigating me?"

"Of course not."

George said calmly, "It was my men who were investigating that kid, Duncan ."

"Oh?"

Lionel was intrigued, "You have a problem with Duncan?"

"A little indeed, so I asked you to come here today in the hope that we could work together."

"Work together?" Lionel snorted, "What could you, a businessman, have to work with me on?"

Lionel, as the boss of a large gang, knew something about George, even though he did not do business. What kind of man like that wasn't scheming? He didn't really want to have deep contact with George.

"Of course, I have."

George laughed, stood up, and clapped his hands, "Gilbert, come out."

Just as he finished speaking, the inner door in the office was pushed open and an elderly, white-haired man with a thin build, strolled out from inside.

Lionel's brow furrowed at the sight and he snorted, "George, you're making fun of me, aren't you? What an old man like him can do?"

"Old man?"

The old man's eyes narrowed and a chill flashed across them.

In the next moment, he moved, and in almost an instant, he was close to Lionel, and had locked Lionel's neck with one hand at some time!

"If I hadn't just come out from the closed door training and didn't want to get blood on me too soon, you would have died long ago!"

The old man's voice was hoarse, but the tone of his voice was cold, causing the temperature in the entire office to plummet a few degrees.

Even Lionel's face was pale at this moment. He felt the strong killing intent hanging over his head like a sharp sword.

One wrong move and he would have been killed!

"Gilbert, Lionel means no harm. He just doesn't know what you are capable of. Please do me the favor of sparing him this time."

George spoke up at the right time, and his tone was full of complacency.

Then the old man grunted and released his grip on Lionel.

Lionel was so relieved to be free that he looked at the old man with awe in his eyes. He hastily bowed and clasped his fist in obeisance.

"I didn't know you were powerful. If I have offended you, please forgive me!"

The old man gave him a look and said indifferently, "Forget it, how could you have known?"

Lionel knew that such a powerful man had his own pride and did not dare to take any offense, and asked, "I wonder what your name is?"

"Gilbert Hughes!"

The old man said indifferently.

He was Percival's senior fellow apprentice, the legendary Silver Class master!
