Of course he recognized the record!
However, as a black marketeer with professional ethics, Anton has always felt that protecting the privacy of customers is the most basic bottom line for black marketeers.
Even if he is facing Constantine, it is absolutely impossible for Anton to destroy his bottom line!
Otherwise, how will he do business in the future?
"Constantine, you know, the rules of our industry..." Anton said with a smile.
Although he was facing the famous black magic master Constantine, Anton still did not give up.
Since he can do this, he must have something to rely on. According to the backup plan he is currently preparing, although he may not be able to defeat Constantine head-on, Constantine can't do anything to him.
Self-preservation is absolutely fine.
As for Li Wei who came in with Constantine, he was ignored by Anton. He only regarded Li Wei as Constantine's new unlucky partner.
Maybe it's because the last unlucky guy Chas is already dead?
Anton doesn't know, but he has no interest in asking. After all, he and Constantine have known each other for so long, and Constantine's partners have changed more than once.
Constantine Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, he could only shake his head helplessly.
It's exactly what Li Wei said, good words can't persuade a damn ghost.
Originally, I wanted to try to see if I could save this guy Anton.
In that case...
Constantine turned to look at Li Wei.
"Man, I leave it to you. It seems that I have to use your method."
Li Wei is not surprised by this result.
If this kind of businessman, who has been wandering in the gray area all year round, can conquer by talking alone, then he will not be able to do it for so many years.
Now there are two options inside.
One is to use money to get Anton to open his mouth. For this kind of people, there will be no camp. Everything in the world has a suitable price. If you don't sell it, the price is just not enough.
But Li Wei doesn't intend to do this. He is rich, but not stupid.
So Li Wei decided to adopt the simplest and crudest method.
Li Wei thought.
A spear appeared in his hand.
Anton's expression instantly became tense. No matter what, in the final analysis, he was still a human being.
You will still die if you are hit by a gun!
Anton reached into his pocket and planned to press the button on the remote control.
This was his backup plan to prevent some uncontrollable situations from happening in the store.
But it's a pity that he is fast and Li Wei is even faster.
Before Anton's hand touched the remote control in his pocket, a dark purple light shot out from the extremely sci-fi-looking gun in Li Wei's hand.
"Phew!"
Accompanied by a slight sound that cuts through the air, and the smell of burnt clothes.
"Bang!" The remote control hidden in Anton's pocket was blown up by Li Wei!
This is broken!
Anton's heart instantly sank to the bottom, and his whole body froze on the spot.
This remote control mainly controls the mechanisms in the store, which he spent a lot of money to modify. They not only have heavy firepower and thermal weapons to deal with the body, but also magic and spells to deal with extraordinary creatures.
Originally, he thought he was absolutely safe in the store...
Numb!
Completely numb!
Looking at the stunned Anton, Li Wei smiled and did not continue to shoot at him.
He wanted Anton to speak, not Anton to sit down.
As for why he was able to kill Anton's prepared backhand so accurately with the first shot.
It's simple, because from the moment he entered this stronghold, Li Wei used Twisted Fate, the Card Master's "destiny" ability to see the entire stronghold, including Anton, clearly.
Including the remote control in Anton's pocket, as well as the firepower mechanisms hidden in the stronghold, all were clearly visible to Li Wei.
Of course, we can't avoid seeing some eye-catching pictures of Anton...
"How is it, Mr. Anton, have you changed your mind now?" Li Wei held Kadar Jhin's big gun in his hand, walked up to Anton with a smile, and put the muzzle of the gun against Anton's head. "If you still feel embarrassed, I don't mind helping you."
At this time, Anton's expression was extremely ugly. Although he didn't know the specific origin of Li Wei, he could guess that Li Wei was not as simple as he thought before.
As a black marketeer, Anton's main business is various in-demand materials in the magic world, but he is also involved in the business of human society.
These include various cutting-edge weapons of human society, and there is absolutely no problem with his vision.
The big gun held in the hands of this Chinese young man is definitely not simple!
Even the individual soldier concept weapon newly developed by the United States defense department is definitely not as powerful as this weapon, nor can it shoot as accurately as the opponent!
and!
The most important thing is that although Anton does not have as high magical attainments as Constantine, he is also not a magic rookie!
He sensed an extremely dangerous magical aura from the bullet the opponent had just fired!
die! Once you are hit by the opponent's bullet, even if it is just a scratch, you will die on the spot!
A combination of magic and thermal weapons?
Anton had an outrageous idea in his mind, what is the background of this person?
Although in the magical world of DC Universe, there is no explicit prohibition on cooperation between magicians and the government, but the development of magical thermal weapons like this is almost impossible to achieve due to various practical conditions!
Anton had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but when Li Wei put the muzzle of the gun on his head, he had to pay attention back.
No matter what the background of Li Wei is, or the origin of this weapon, the most important thing now is his own life.
Anton carefully felt the breath of death coming from the opponent's gun, and he felt that his bottom line did not seem to be so unshakable.
It doesn't hurt to be a little flexible on the bottom line.
"What do you call this gentleman?" Anton squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"You can call me Li Wei. Of course, I prefer others to call me Dean Li Wei. I am the Dean of Gotham City Arkham Asylum. If you are not convinced, you can go there to find me."
The smile on Li Wei's face did not change, and he directly showed off his cards to Anton.
After all, there is no point in concealing it. According to his traces in this city these days, it is not difficult for some people to trace their true identity.
Besides...
Want to go to Gotham to destroy his place?
Li Wei dare not say that it is absolutely foolproof, but at least this Anton absolutely cannot do it. Perhaps only an adult body stronger than Superman can do it.
Don't forget, on Earth, Gotham City is always a hell difficulty for other humans.
And Li Wei's confident answer made Anton more convinced of his suspicion. I'm afraid this guy is not only capable of fighting, but also has a good background.
"Mr. Li Wei, regarding the question you want to ask me, I feel that I cannot disclose it to you for the sake of my client's privacy, but I can tell you about some legends circulating in Los Angeles..."
Anton decisively followed his inner choice and made his bottom line flexible.
Tell the truth about the origin and function of this Death Record.
This Death Record was indeed entrusted to be collected by someone, and that person was also an old acquaintance of Constantine.
A black man named Daddy Midnight.
Although this guy is also from the magical world, he also controls several nightclubs and a gang in the human world.
The competition in the underground world of Los Angeles is not as fierce as that of Gotham, so with the blessing of magic, the gang of Daddy Midnight can be called the underground overlord of Los Angeles.
And that Death Record appeared decades ago. At that time, in order to gain fame and fortune, a black singer took the initiative to contact the devil from hell, and signed a contract under the devil's bewitchment.
The final result was, not surprisingly, after the black singer briefly reached the peak of his life, the devil came to his door and took away his soul.
At that time, the black singer was recording a new record, which was Death Record. It not only recorded the voice of the devil whispering, but also recorded the devil's real name. Through the real name recorded in the record, the devil can be summoned.
As for why Daddy Midnight got this record, Anton doesn't know the exact answer.
But according to his speculation and the rumors he has heard so far, Daddy Midnight is most likely trying to use the real name of the devil in the record to do something, rather than trying to summon the devil to the Human Realm.
The devil's real name is equivalent to the human Soul Origin.
Hearing this, Li Wei's eyes instantly lit up!
He originally thought that the being behind Death Record might be an evil creature, but he didn't expect that a real demon could be summoned through this record!
As for the so-called Daddy Midnight and Li Wei, they didn't care at all.
Los Angeles underground overlord?
Do you understand the value of Gotham?
When that guy reaches Gotham, he is at best the leader of a small gang, unless his magical power can reach the level of crushing him.
"Okay, dear Mr. Anton." Li Wei looked at Anton with a smile, and the spear in his hand disappeared in an instant. "Thank you very much for your story. I enjoyed listening to it today. If there is nothing else, we will leave first."
Anton felt a little hesitant when he saw the spear filled with the aura of death disappearing in Li Wei's hand.
In fact, he really wanted to keep the records in the hands of Li Wei and Constantine. After all, the real estate dad paid him very well.
However, Anton is now a little afraid to take action. He always has an inexplicable feeling that the breath of death has not completely disappeared as Li Wei puts away the spear.
Instead, it became more intense, only becoming more difficult to detect with the movements of Li Wei.
In the end, Anton chose to believe in his heart. With a smile on his face, he personally sent Li Wei and Constantine out of the stronghold until he watched them get into the car and disappear from sight.
At this time, Anton was completely unaware of the aura of death that had just lingered around him.
He returned to his stronghold and rearranged the remote control of the stronghold's mechanism.
Sitting on the chair, Anton felt a little reluctant. After all, he had been a black marketeer for so many years, and this was the first time he was so frustrated.
However, he didn't dare to ask Li Wei to cause trouble. After all, the aura of death that lingered around him just now really impressed him.
Finally Anton thought about it and made up his mind.
He picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, Daddy Midnight, I'm Anton. I'm looking for you about that Death Record..."
Constantine and Li Wei did not stay too much in this area. Under Li Wei's urging, Constantine drove straight to Daddy Midnight's territory.
As for Anton's tip-off, Li Wei naturally discovered it, and of course he didn't bother to care about it.
This Anton reminded him of Penguin—Cobblepot, which was far away in Gotham.
This kind of people may seem very cunning, but when you show that you are strong enough, they will become your strongest allies.
They know how to take sides better than anyone.
Li Wei also lacks a person who is well versed in all kinds of news and in-demand supplies in the magic world. This is something Constantine cannot compare with.
After all, the black marketeer is an organization, and Constantine only has himself and his partner...
Of course, the reason why Anton is still alive is because what he did was not excessive.
Anton just called Daddy Midnight and said that Constantine and a person named Li Wei might come to him later, and Death Record was in the hands of these two people.
Otherwise, the two of them had planned to go find Daddy Midnight.
Just after coming out from the black market businessman Anton, Li Wei asked Constantine if he knew how to summon the devil through Death Record.
But it's a pity.
Constantine doesn't know the specific method. He only knows one way to summon the devil to come to the Human Realm.
