What’s more, he once worked behind them and is now just a small alchemy baron?
Ren Ni didn't dare to speak again.
Middenstock lowered his head, sweating profusely, and even breathed very slowly, fearing that Hilco would notice him.
"Isn't this the main reason you summoned us here today?" Spender's voice was hoarse and low, revealing a sinister coldness. "Now that Madam Golask's problem has been resolved, there will be no one in the Lower City who can compete with us."
"Oh, don't forget that we have the Gray Lady above us. Do you want to attract her attention?" Adrian sneered with a disdainful expression.
It was a mockery not only of Spender, but also of the families in Upper Town.
Although Spender was unhappy with his tone, he had nothing to say.
Even Hilco was afraid of the Gray Lady, let alone these alchemy barons.
"Now that we've dealt with Gorsk, what about Gorsk Industries? Hilko, you should have a solution, right?"
At this time, Lanner, who had remained silent, asked, and then glanced at Li Lin, "If this problem cannot be solved, Crasco Industries will go bankrupt, and tens of thousands of people will be unemployed."
"I will take over." Li Lin's words surprised the alchemy barons, "But this is not something you should consider."
He paused for a few seconds, then uttered something that puzzled everyone: "After all... you don't have to worry about Zaun anymore."
Adrien's brows furrowed, his tone questioning, "We don't have to worry about Zaun anymore?"
"What do you mean?" Spender blew his long white beard and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
Renni, Longfellow, and Barritt glanced at each other without saying anything, as if they agreed with Li Lin's words. Hilco felt a sinking feeling in his heart, yet felt a little helpless.
It seems that after dealing with Renata and Bonnie's rebellion, these two are ready to join forces to break off relations with the Alchemy Baron Alliance.
Voss was still in the same dazed state as before and was not overly affected by this.
Lanar's shock turned into indifference. She did not have much real power in Zaun.
She was able to become the Alchemy Baron thanks to her robot manufacturing factory and her cooperation with some big families in the upper city, which earned her their support.
Moreover, since the last Alchemy Baron Meeting, Lannar has been paying close attention to Li Lin and knows him very well, knowing that he is not the kind of person who would abandon the donkey after it has served its purpose.
Power doesn't matter to her, so she just gives it up.
"I think my meaning is clear, everyone," Li Lin said with a smile. "Literally, you don't need to worry about Zuan anymore."
"In other words, you plan to disband the Alchemy Baron Alliance?" Adrian asked harshly.
"Whose idea is this? You? Hilco?" Spender's golden pupils scanned Li Lin and Hilco, his hands already touching his waist. "Or... is this what those Upper City families meant?"
"To be precise, it was what Hilco and I meant."
In fact, this idea was entirely proposed by Li Lin. He did not want Zaan to continue in its current situation, which would be very detrimental to his future development.
To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country. The Alchemy Barons are an uncontrollable factor.
Especially Adrian, Spender, Middenstock and Voss.
Li Lin doesn't want to wait until the future when he has to deal with a world crisis and then have one or more "guides" at home who will lead the crisis to his base.
However, Hilco just glanced at him lightly, which was considered as his agreement.
This really pissed off Spender.
Born in Zuan, where both his parents died, he had worked very hard to get to where he is today.
Zaun is different from Ionia. He, a Vastaya who is covered with hair and looks like a Pekingese, suffers from discrimination and insults.
If it weren't for the advantages of Vastaya's physique and lifespan, combined with his own ruthlessness, he would not have been able to climb step by step to his current position.
Otherwise, he would have rotted in some stinky ditch long ago.
"Damn it! You can't do this!"
Spender stood up suddenly and pulled out the stun gun from his waist almost in the blink of an eye.
He didn't dare to kidnap Hillco, after all, he was quite far away from him, and he still had some fear of the leader of the alchemy barons.
Therefore, Li Lin, the "pretty boy" closest to him and the "Zili" of a big family in Shangcheng, became Spender's primary target.
Unfortunately, he didn't realize that he had chosen the wrong person.
After being strengthened with genetic drugs and blessed by Janna, he was just a sturdy Vastaya, and not even the most skilled fighting Meat-toothed Beast.
Even if Li Lin didn't switch his clothes into armor, Spender, who posed a great threat to ordinary people, would be vulnerable to him.
This is also the reason why he did not wear the third-generation battle armor to the meeting, just to attract some guy who saw that he was "poor and weak" and was ignorant of the danger and dared to take action, so as to make an example of him.
Just like the last time the Alchemy Baron meeting killed the arrogant Finn.
Spender's speed was so fast that he left an afterimage. The electric baton in his hand made a "sizzling" sound, and a strong electric current as thick as his finger wrapped around it and suddenly hit Li Lin's head.
It's a pity that with the blessing of "Gift of Janna" and "Go with the Wind" abilities, Li Lin's speed is much faster than his.
In the blink of an eye, Li Lin grabbed Spender's wrist with both hands and squeezed it hard, crushing his rock-hard bones.
"--ah!"
Spender screamed, and the stun guns in his hands fell to the ground, almost hitting Adrian beside him.
