Whoosh! Whoosh!
Remus Peter quickly dodged the two tail stings of Azazel. His Killing Technique has reached the third stage. In addition to being able to perfectly control his body to make various movements that ordinary people cannot understand, he can also control the peristalsis of internal organs and stomach and the flow rate of blood to a certain extent.
And what is different from the Evolution Technique practiced by Azazel is that starting from the second stage, he can use his fists and kicks to attack with a limited burst of penetrating secondary strikes, causing the enemy to inadvertently suffer fatal internal injuries.
After entering the third stage, the body's basic attributes such as strength and speed can be upgraded to the limits of one's own body. The ability of secondary strikes can also be spread throughout the body, and can be used more freely and fully.
But even so, he can barely compete with Azazel who doesn't use special abilities.
Apart from practicing Evolution Technique, Azazel does not have this kind of secondary strike combat skills, but his physical strength already exceeds that of Remus. The third stage of Evolution Technique can also enable him to reach the current limit of his physique and ability.
In addition, the tail of Azazel is purely an innate weapon with a weird attack angle and extremely fast speed. If it weren't for Remus's superior combat skills, he would have "died" countless times.
Bang bang bang!
The two were fighting with each other's fists and legs. Azazel's fighting style was closer to a stabbing type, and combined with his own tail sting, he was like a scorpion that stabbed accurately, while Remus was quite satisfactory, with wide open and close movements and comprehensive attack routes. Every contact caused Azazel's fists and feet to be stabbed with stinging pain.
Whoa! Remus grabbed the tail of Azazel and swept it downwards like a monkey fishing for the moon. Taking this opportunity to raise its elbow further, the tip of the elbow pierced Azazel like a city cone.
Poof, Azazel relied on teleporting into the air to break Remus's strength and avoid this elbow. However, it also violated the rule that teleportation cannot be used in unarmed practice.
"Okay, let's get over here."
James stopped the contest between the two and gave some instructions.
Remus hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Master, Killing Technique go to the next floor, I--"
"Don't worry. I'll figure this out recently. If everything goes well, I can help you." James responded to Remus as expected. After several years of polishing and searching for Daoist books and materials in the East of the world, he had a new and completely different understanding of this stage.
Azazel watched the two talking and pretended to sneak up. Of course he didn't dare to stay silent in front of James. He teleported away rudely and pretended to leave.
"Where are you going again?" James called Azazel in a rude voice. In fact, he already knew what this kid has been busy with recently.
Azazel responded with vague words, "Well, go and play cards with some of Remus's little brothers, right Remus."
He turned into a wisp of black smoke, flashed next to Remus, and bumped into the opponent's shoulder.
Remus was loyal, and was stunned for a moment before quickly agreeing. James smiled instead, waved his hand without asking any further questions, and suddenly called Azazel meaningfully.
"Dad won't let you hide like this forever, definitely not."
Azazel was stunned for a moment. He scratched his head, giggled a few times, and nodded.
He believed in his father just as he believed when he put his hand on his palm when they first met.
Howlett Family's capital affairs have been quite busy in recent years, and James cannot take this node lightly.
The 1920s was a short and special period in American history, which was later called "Roaring Twenties".
At this time, the United States is at the historical intersection of the transition between the old and the new. The vigorous development of capitalism has completely transformed the country from agricultural civilization into an industrialized modern society.
At the same time, the United States, which participated in the war at the end of World War I, made a fortune from the war because it was not severely damaged by the war. It turned from a debtor country before the war into a creditor country.
The entire country is in the stage of the government implementing a "laissez-faire" economic policy, allowing the free market to operate on its own. The less government intervention in economic activities, the more efficient the economy can operate.
At this time, the domestic economic situation in the United States was excellent. The transportation, mining, and construction industries were expanding rapidly. The electrical appliance and automobile manufacturing industries suddenly took off. Automobiles, electrical equipment, household machinery, processed foods, and clothing began to enter households, bringing unprecedented comfort to the lives of many Americans.
Real estate transactions and the stock market are particularly active, and some speculators have become nouveau riche overnight in this type of gambling industry.
And James doesn't want to join in the fun. He knows that such flashy prosperity will soon be shattered by a huge dream. Howlett Family's business empire has completely escaped the "simple" pursuit of wealth by capitalists, and instead continues to seize the power that can influence the world to a certain extent.
Early the next morning, James was under a ginkgo tree in the manor garden, holding a simple book and reading it carefully. Casper caught a glimpse of the housekeeper when he came over to deliver messages. They were all square-like words that he could not understand. This "young master" of his own knew too many things.
"Master Bruce, Mr. Weddell is here." Casper Butler always distinguishes the titles carefully when there are outsiders.
Hellman·Weddell is the son of the old Tom·Weddell. He is now in his fifties. In fact, in the eyes of the outside world, the surname Weddell is more famous and powerful.
Only a small group of top oligarchs know that Weddell, who dominates the Western capital world, is just a "guy" who is released to do things.
"What's the matter, Hellman, why don't you come here yourself." James was a little strange when he saw Hellman Weddell. After all, he had seen the young Hellman calling him uncle, but now his seniority was lowered.
Mr. Weddell leaned next to James's recliner and asked with some confusion, "Master, this is the inquiry from White House. President Wilson also mentioned it personally. They don't know why Howlett has stopped all business and support applications from Japan."
James nonchalantly motioned to Weddell to drink some ice tea, watching him moisten his throat and continue.
"What White House means is that after all, this has reached the level of business exchanges between countries, and as far as I know, President Wilson is more concerned about the promotion of relations between the two countries brought about by this cooperation. America's influence in East Asia has always been very limited, so."
"This is Howlett Family's own business decision. The US government has no right to interfere, right?"
"Of course, of course."
Mr. Weddell met James's look that seemed to be asking but was actually giving instructions, and he quickly agreed.
"I think Japan lacks basic moral principles and integrity. In the war that just ended, that ancient country in the East, as the victor, did not get the rights it deserved, but Japan continued to occupy its land. So-"
James paused and took two sips of ice tea.
"In the future, all business channels of the Howlett Family will not purchase from Japan, and all our industrial and manufacturing support projects in Japan will also be stopped."
"Master, we will also suffer a lot from this," Mr. Weddell couldn't help but said. This was indeed a waste of money.
James waved his hand, suddenly smiled and said, "A new president will thank me in a few years, so don't worry too much, just do it like this."
He continued to focus on the book in his hand and didn't care about this episode.
The last few chapters will foreshadow the characters, plot, and some settings, which are relatively gentle, but will transition quickly. Thanks everyone~
