Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 78 What to do
One billion Reichsmarks!
I didn't expect that the city government office, which is usually very stingy with rewards, would be willing to spend so much.
You know, in order to prevent high bounties from attracting tougher guys, and to prevent desperate criminals from competing with each other, the official bounties are very conservative. At first, the bounty for Qingkong was only 2 million Reichsmarks, but it was only after Luke caused a meeting in the City Hall that the bounty was raised to 100 million.
Now just multiply it by 10 to 10 billion Reichsmarks. This is to attract bounty hunters from all over the world to Raging Waves City!
Many bounty hunters are extremely vicious people themselves.
It's like burning your boats and throwing away the city's safety factor in order to capture the elf Qingkong.
well……
The Thunder Tower is the most important landmark in the City of Raging Waves. Its collapse has an overall impact on the city, and the losses caused are not limited to the cost of the tower itself. This time, the bigwigs in the City of Raging Waves were completely pissed off.
At this moment, Luke was sitting in the office of the director of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau, and he could feel the anger in the city government hall that was skyrocketing.
If it could be explained, Luke really wanted to go to the City Hall to apologize to all the citizens of Raging Waves.
I really didn't mean it!
When Luke was feeling emotional, Kaileena saw that the detective didn't speak for a long time and thought that he was also shocked by this incident.
“Detective, Detective…” Kylena called out softly.
"Oh!" Luke came back to his senses and said to Shelley first, "Take some people to visit the streets and ask the neighbors to see if they can find any clues about the elf Qingkong."
Shelley asked in confusion: "Inspector, how can you ask this?"
Luke said angrily, "Do you really want to find Qingkong? Do you think one billion is that easy to get? If you really want to catch Qingkong, go knock down a Thunder Tower and show me.
If you knock it down, I will never stop you from doing anything you want to do. "
Shelley understood what the inspector meant and replied, "I know what to do, inspector... I'll take people to the streets right away."
After Shelley left, Luke asked Kylena, "What happened last night? What information did the City Hall send? Tell me in detail."
"Yes, Inspector!"
Kaileena told Luke what she knew.
Last night, two sheriffs who were patrolling in the city center park went to check when they saw something strange happening on the top of the Thunder Tower. They witnessed the whole process .
When they arrived at the scene, they not only saw Qingkong, but also two other groups of unidentified people.
The two sheriffs, who felt that they were outnumbered, temporarily retreated to seek support after intimidating the people at the scene. When they led the team back to the scene again, except for the four bodies, Qingkong and another person were no longer there.
Preliminary autopsies of the four bodies revealed that they were all Abyss Mages.
"Inspector, the City Hall is in chaos right now. These are the messages they sent us this morning. Specific instructions should be delivered soon."
After listening to Kylena's report, Luke nodded to show that he understood.
"The specific instructions are nothing more than to intensify the search for the elf Qingkong... Apart from the four Abyss Mages, there are no other casualties."
"The information I have received so far is no. The Thunder Tower is in the central park, and it rained heavily yesterday, so no one stayed inside.
The four Abyss Mages were probably killed by the Elf Qingkong when they were trying to snatch the Book of Disaster."
Luke said nonchalantly, "The City Security Department is forming a capture team to capture the elf Clear Sky. Now that the Abyss Mage has appeared, the Blade Brotherhood's Thorn Blades should also be arriving, and the 1 billion Reichsmark reward will attract some bounty hunters.
Let them deal with the Elf Clear Sky, and we will focus on our current work.
What stage have the potion production and Yanyang Night School reached?"
Kaileena knew that her inspector was carrying the "heavy responsibility of the eldest princess", so she did not make too many statements on the collapse of the Thunder Tower.
"The No. 13 Special Prison is being renovated. There is already a secret underground cell there. We just need to enclose the surrounding area and build a wall to use it as an underground potion factory.
Some of the purchased potion production equipment has arrived. Ralph's family will bring some of their equipment over for installation. It is expected that within fifteen days, the production of powerful violent potions will be ready. And... and ... and the production of aphrodisiacs.
The initial production capacity is 2,000 bottles of powerful rage potion per day.
If you want to increase production…”
Luke said at this time: "For the time being, we will not consider increasing production. We will stabilize it first and then expand slowly. What is the sales situation of the powerful rage potion now? Some guys keep looking for me and want to increase their quota."
Kylena replied: "Ralph can now produce 600 bottles of powerful violent potion every day. The selling price you set is 15,000 Reichsmarks , and 4,000 Reichsmarks will be given to the seller as commission for each bottle sold.
The powerful rage potion we produce every day is sold out, and after deducting the commission and costs to the seller, the gross profit is 6 million Reichsmarks."
6 million Reichsmarks, Kalina couldn't believe the number she reported.
You know, the total monthly budget of the entire Cape District Secret Service is just over 6 million. They have to maintain the normal expenses of facilities, equipment, and consumables, as well as pay the salaries of the agents, so life is very tight.
There is really no choice but to accept gang "sponsorship".
Now, only a few days after the new detective took office, the Secret Service can already reap a profit of 6 million a day. Even if they have to share the profits with Ralph's family, this is something they never dared to think about before.
Although all this money is considered illegal income, it’s great to have money!
But this was approved by the eldest princess, so it should be considered legal income.
A few days ago, Kylena received her bonus and immediately ordered some beautiful clothes for herself and bought some cosmetics. Today, she changed her usual outfit and wore a very popular women's dress, dressing herself up beautifully.
The magic wand was also replaced with a "Dancing Dandelion" handmade by the City Alchemist Association of Raging Waves City. She liked the dandelion pattern on the handle of the magic wand very much, which was very beautifully carved.
What made Kylena a little disappointed was that the inspector didn't seem to notice her changes.
The inspector has big things on his mind!
Luke didn't know what Kylena was thinking as she stood respectfully in front of him.
After listening to Kylena's report, he said: "We all make money together, and the current distribution ratio is the fairest. You notify our sellers and ask them to wait patiently. Our supply will be increased soon.
I also warn them that the price they sell their medicines at must not be higher or lower than 10 percent of my price. If I find any of them disrupting the market, I will reduce their rations.
That’s all about the powerful berserk potion. Tell me how the Yanyang Night School is going.”
