Chapter 113 Should I take the shortcut? (Please subscribe~)

Two minutes later.

Under the anxious and crazy eyes of those slave workers, Li Wei took Li Nata to the sky and disappeared from their sight.

Another minute passed, and I don't know what happened in the meantime.

Lenata followed Li Wei again, and a pink-haired girl flew back from the sky.

As soon as she fell back to the ground, she said to the excited slave workers who were eager to protect their master: "Everyone, please put down your weapons."

"I have reached cooperation with Mr. Levi and the Leader Association."

"From now on, this Mr. Levi is my best friend and an important investor in our Gorask Industry. Apart from me, you must also completely obey his orders."

Li Wei was an enemy who fought to the death with Lenata just now, but in the blink of an eye he was promoted by Lenata to the second-ranking figure in the gang, only behind her.

There is obviously a problem with this.

If it were a normal Zaun gang or Piltover family, it would be unbelievable and perverse for the top leader to suddenly give such an order that severely betrays the interests of the group in front of his subordinates.

Even if the gang cadres or family members do not "kill the thief Li and clear the emperor's side" on the spot, they may still have to "this is a disorderly order and I will not be called upon."

No matter how bad it is, at least some people will question it.

But Gorask Industry is not a normal enterprise at all.

Lenata used mind control potions to turn everyone into soulless pawns, absolutely loyal game control units.

This means that when she, the "player", has a problem, no one in the group can question her decision.

The slave workers who had previously yelled at Li Wei to be beaten and killed, when Lenata said this, they immediately regarded Li Wei as the group's talker with a status second only to Lenata herself without any sense of disobedience.

And Lenata quickly summoned the group's senior management, gang cadres, and R&D directors, and repeated her tactics to issue orders one by one to these core figures of Gorask Industry.

It didn't even take much effort. This giant mining, chemical, and medical business company with tens of thousands of loyal employees simply changed its owner.

Gorask Industries, on the other hand, is much richer than the Iron Fist Gang, which appears to be glamorous and domineering, but is actually just a chaebol wage earner.

Lenata's business spans the two cities, and her business projects include mineral mining, ore refining, alchemy and pharmaceuticals, perfumes and cosmetics, entertainment clubs, and underground banks. The amount of working capital plus fixed assets she possesses is a terrifying astronomical figure.

The leader can be regarded as picking up a big gift package from heaven.

But Li Wei couldn't care less about being happy about getting rich now.

The issue he cares about most now is still:

"Can those brainwashed slave workers ever recover?"

Gorask Industry has been secretly controlled by Levi, and he will soon be able to materially liberate these slave workers.

But their spirits are still not free.

Without free will, true faith cannot be born.

Levi could only harvest more than 10,000 obedient robots, not comrades fighting alongside him.

So he was very concerned: "Can an antidote be developed to make these brainwashed people return to normal?"

"There is hope, but not much." Lenata answered honestly.

"I have recruited alchemists over the years, set up a research and development center, and constantly researched and improved the formula of the medicine, just to improve its 'reliability'."

Lenata could have planned to dominate the twin cities with this mind control potion.

To do such a big thing, of course the potion cannot be just some alchemist who can come over and develop the antidote in a few days of research.

If this potion was so easy to crack, wouldn't her ambition become a joke?

"At least, our alchemy scientists at Gorask Industry will definitely not be able to develop an antidote in a short time. And in the long run, the successful development of this antidote may not be guaranteed."

The team of scientists at Gorask Industries is already the top alchemist team in the Twin Cities that Lenata has collected from Zaun and Piltover through all her means over the years.

If even they are not guaranteed to develop an antidote, then the date when the antidote will be released is really far away.

"Seraphine, is there anything you can do?"

Science is unreliable, so Li Wei can only think of magic.

Seraphine was already incredibly talented, and now she had another goddess as her teacher.

After more than a month of practice and tempering, she has become a spiritual mage with extraordinary strength.

But after Seraphine tried to treat several brainwashed slave workers, she shook her head helplessly:

"No, I can't do it either. These people's brains seem to have been changed by drugs on a physiological level."

"I can temporarily awaken their souls, but I cannot permanently help them regain their free will."

"Perhaps." Seraphine added hesitantly: "When my magic becomes more powerful, there will be a way."

"Okay." Levi sighed.

Is there really no way to save these people?

"Maybe." Lenata thought of something: "There is a person who may be able to develop an antidote."

"He is the most talented alchemist in the Twin Cities. His wisdom alone is better than my talented research and development team. I once wanted to 'invite' him to cooperate with me, but he refused."

The "invitation" that Lenata spoke of was never a gentle invitation.

The alchemist was actually able to refuse her invitation without dying because of it, so he obviously had real abilities.

"That's what you're talking about." Lenata didn't need to tell her her name.

After hearing "the most genius alchemist", a voice immediately popped into Levi's mind:

Shake shake cough cough

In short, Li Wei may know that person, and Vice President Victor is more familiar with him.

Because he was Victor’s former teacher:

"Alchemist, Singed?"

Levi was not in a hurry to find Singed, nor did he stay at Gorask Industry for a long time.

After he and Seraphine took over control of Gorask Industries, they flew back to Piltover with Lenata, Zelie, Chuck, and dozens of slave workers who had not yet been brainwashed.

because

"Li! Wei!" Everyone was halfway through the flight, but Lenata had already woken up when they were still in the sky.

Although Seraphine is a mental mage, she is not specialized in mind control spells.

Her mental control ability is temporary, and the control time will fluctuate to varying degrees depending on her own magic strength and the target's mental strength.

In short, with Seraphine's current strength, she can control Lenata for 2 or 3 hours at most.

But in just a few hours, the huge foundation that Lenata had accumulated over decades of hard work fell into Li Wei's hands so lightly.

"Levi!" As soon as Lenata came to her senses, she stared at Levi with splitting eyes.

"Are you awake?" Levi returned her mocking smile: "How is it? Does it feel good to be brainwashed?"

Lenata's face looked extremely ugly.

Of course it doesn't feel good to be brainwashed, but

"She doesn't feel guilty at all." Seraphine told Levi helplessly: "I 'heard' it. She is regretful, but she does not blame herself or reflect on her actions, but is upset about her failure.

, angry.”

Lenata's inner voice was exposed mercilessly by her.

Not only did Kelenata not feel embarrassed, she frankly admitted: "The law of the jungle is the natural law of Zaun. I only lost because I was weak, not because I did something wrong."

"Oh, Levi. Didn't you also use brainwashing to finally defeat me?"

"That's different." Levi said with a clear conscience, "We are here to save people."

"If you hadn't threatened me with those more than 10,000 lives, I would never, ever, ever let Seraphine use her ability to control others."

"because."

"Because you are stupid!" Lenata sneered: "If you have such a convenient ability, why don't you use it?"

As she spoke, she tempted Levi like the demon river king who feeds on human greed:

"Levi, now you not only have this singing girl, but you also have my mind control potion."

"think about it--"

"Combining her ability with my potion, you can capture everyone in the Twin Cities without any hindrance!"

"There is no need for any hard struggle. As long as you use my potion, whether it is the plutocratic merchants of Pi City or the alchemist barons of Zaun, they will crawl at your feet and bow to you!"

Renata knew that it was impossible for her to escape from control.

She said these words not in the hope that Li Wei would let her go.

She just didn't know why, but she desperately wanted to see Li Wei, an idealist who spoke of benevolence, justice, and morality, and a great sage who was as naive and stupid as her parents.

Seeing how he couldn't resist the temptation, took up her weapons, inherited her career, and became the second Lenata Gorask.
