Chapter 20: McCann

"The boss of the Hyena Gang?!" Jock heard the words of the middle-aged man opposite and immediately looked at him in surprise.

"Oh?! Look at your expression...Have you heard of me?"

Malcolm put the cigar in his mouth, then snapped his fingers with his right hand on the ground, and a single sofa appeared out of thin air.

‘This?!’ Jock looked at all this with his eyes wide open and was so surprised that he was speechless for a moment.

‘What kind of extraordinary ability is this?! Can you conjure things out of thin air? Space ability?!’

Malcolm sat on the sofa, holding a wine glass with his right hand. In just a moment, a glass filled with red wine appeared in his hand.

He couldn't help but feel funny when he saw Jock looking stunned.

'It turns out he is a little kid who has never seen the world.'

Putting the cigar on the ashtray that appeared out of thin air, Malcolm took a sip of red wine. While shaking the scarlet liquid in the wine glass, he looked at Jock and said:

"Little brother Jock, can you tell me... why two of my men... drew their guns when they saw you...?"

‘How did he know?!’ At this time, Jock had regained his rationality. He looked at Malcolm calmly and did not answer.

However, Jock's eyes with obvious meaning were staring straight at him.

"Haha, it's interesting. Under such circumstances, you actually dare to make conditions with me. How courageous!"

Malcolm took another sip of red wine, then smashed the glass into Jock's face.

There was only a "bang" sound, and the wine glass shattered. Some glass particles stuck into Jock's face, and blood slowly fell from his face.

Jock did not scream. He glared at Malcolm fiercely and gritted his teeth tightly.

Jock's performance amused Malcolm. He stood up and clapped his hands.

"Interesting, interesting! It's okay to tell you. Whenever my men go to collect the deposit, I will send some special little guys to follow them. After all, wealth can easily make people do irrational things."

Malcolm stretched out his right hand, his index finger raised high, and then, a small bee with a metallic luster appeared out of thin air on the tip of his index finger.

When Jock saw this mechanical bee, he immediately understood.

'It turns out that it's because of it that in the world of science and technology, there are really "eyes in the sky" everywhere.'

'But... this old guy doesn't know why Joseph wants to kill me. It seems that when they secretly sold the corpses, they were not monitored by this thing, or in other words, they got rid of the surveillance.'

'As expected of a "cunning mouse".'

Jock actually praised Joseph in his heart.

He looked at Malcolm and replied: "Those two guys and I had some grudges before. When enemies meet, they naturally draw their guns in greeting."

When Malcolm heard this, he smiled and shook his head.

Then, a dagger suddenly appeared in his right hand, and Malcolm thrust the dagger straight into Jock's left eye!

Jock instinctively wanted to turn his head to avoid it, but! He found that he couldn't move!

The dagger went straight into the eye socket, and there was a slight "pop" sound, and Jock screamed in pain.

"Ah~~"

Malcolm let go of his right hand and took two steps back. The dagger was still inserted straight into Jock's right eye socket. Blood and some crystal liquid flowed down his cheek. In just a few seconds, the blood blurred.

The left side of Jock's face.

After a scream, Jock never made a sound again. He looked to the left side of his face with his remaining right eye and saw the shining handle of the knife.

'My eyes!'

Jock's lips were trembling uncontrollably because of the pain in his left eye. His hair was all wet and sticky and formed into small clusters. His entire forehead was more like a waterfall, with cold sweat dripping down his face.

"Little brother, don't waste my time, and don't insult my wisdom. I believe Joseph has a grudge against you, but there must be other secrets in it."

Another glass of red wine appeared in Malcolm's hand. He took a sip and continued:

"I know Joseph very well. Whenever this kid causes any trouble outside, I will use my reputation as the Hyena Gang to block it for him."

"You wanted to kill each other as soon as you met. It can be seen from this that the hatred between you and Joseph is very great and has reached an irreconcilable point."

"But he hid this matter from me this time. Tell me, if you were Joseph's boss, would you think it was normal?"

When Malcolm said this, he put the wine glass to his mouth again, but before he drank, he suddenly seemed to remember something, took the glass away and added:

"Oh, let me tell you one more thing. Joseph is very greedy for money. Think carefully before answering. You still have another chance, if you don't want to become blind."

The bright red liquid went into his throat, and in the wine, Malcolm quietly waited for Jock's new round of answers.

"Mad, this bitch blinded one of my eyes." Jock stared at Malcolm, thinking about how to answer.

'I haven't figured out my identity yet, so I can't tell anyone about this, by the way! This Malcolm is most likely a believer in the Church of the God of the Breeding of the Earth. As a transcendent, he should be interested in the formula.'

'The Hidden Cults are something that the Eight Righteous God Churches will never tolerate. Anyway, I have memorized those recipes. They are like time bombs. As long as they are discovered by the Righteous God Church, they will definitely not be able to eat them.'

'Tell Malcolm that even if he and I are grasshoppers in the same boat, based on the formula alone, he will definitely not go to the church to report me.'

...

After having a general idea in mind, Jiao Ke said:

"Joseph and I fought over the formula of the transcendent before. In the end, he got the formula of Sequence 7, while I got the formula of Sequence 8. We have always wanted to grab another formula from the other party.

"

"As for why he didn't tell you, I personally think that firstly, this method is very strange and powerful, and secondly..."

Jock looked at Malcolm and said with a smile: "This is the lost way of the hidden religion!"

As early as when Jock said the words "Extraordinary Formula", Malcolm's entire attention was attracted by Jock's words.

By the time Jock finished speaking, Malcolm already believed most of it.

'This damn guy Joseph actually hid such an important thing from me!'

'No wonder... I gave him the "pure flesh and blood" formula before so that he could be promoted to a transcendent as soon as possible. This guy always found various excuses to delay. It turned out that there was such a reason behind it.'

In fact, Malcolm wronged Joseph.

The reason why Joseph has not been promoted is not because he wants to become a transcendent in other ways. It is purely because Joseph is stingy and wants to wait and see more and pick up cheap materials, which delays time.

The red wine glass in Malcolm's hand turned into a dagger. He looked at Jock and asked:

"Your ability to snatch their pistols from the air is the extraordinary ability of this method, right?"

Jock smiled and replied: "Yes."

The smile combined with Jock's current appearance made him look very ferocious.

After receiving Jock's affirmative reply, an excited and greedy smile appeared on Malcolm's face.
