Mechanical Doctor

…

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

Manolin changed into formal clothes and led Benjamin and Cosimo to a seaside manor in the aristocratic district.

Benjamin tapped the brakes and slowly parked the truck on the side of the road.

As soon as the steam truck stopped, one of the servants guarding the door hurried over and opened the passenger door for Manolin.

"Mr. Manolin, welcome to the Tulip Manor."

The servant who opened the door greeted respectfully.

"Okay, no more polite words, lead us in."

After Manolin finished speaking, he called Cosimo, who had turned off the car, and Benjamin in the carriage to come out.

The servant was startled by Benjamin who came out of the carriage door.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, a 2.5-meter-tall weirdo with red eyes is really scary.

Fortunately, the servant was well-trained, so he didn't scream.

"Mr. Manolin, are we having a feast here today?"

Benjamin looked at the luxurious manor, and he was a little looking forward to today's food.

"Benjamin, be more civilized, how can you say it's a feast? It's called attending a banquet."

Manolin refuted Benjamin's words.

Although the main purpose of Manolin and his friends coming here was to have a feast, the servants of the manor were still here, how could they admit it.

Manolin led two men into the interior of the manor.

"Hey, this mayor is quite good at enjoying himself?"

Benjamin said, looking at the front yard full of tulips.

"That's right, it's not easy to plant so many tulips in Gran City."

Manolin sighed.

"How many people's blood and tears are stained on these flowers?"

"Mr. Manolin, be careful."

The cautious Cosimo looked around and saw that no one around noticed what Manolin said, so he put his heart at ease.

Cosimo whispered to Manolin:

"Mr. Manolin, this is someone else's territory after all. It would be so rude if they found out that you were saying bad things about the host."

Faced with Cosimo's reminder, Manolin waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

According to Manolin's current status and strength, he was not worried that Antoine would dare to retaliate against him, and Antoine had no ability to retaliate against him.

The only thing Antoine could do to Manolin was the funding issue for the new department.

However, no department could afford the little funding allocated by the municipal government.

Everyone makes money from side jobs. If they really rely on that little funding, all government departments in Gran City will have to go bankrupt.

The status of the mayor of Gran City is like that of the United Nations in the previous life.

He is the mayor only when various forces recognize him. If various forces do not recognize him, he is just an empty shell.

Just like this banquet, Antoine is at most a provider of the venue, and the real decision makers are still the powerful departments in Gran City that hold power.

…

Manolin and his party came to the manor hall.

At this time, there were already many people sitting or standing in the hall.

Those who came to attend this banquet were the heads of various government departments and their subordinates.

It was obvious that this was a "meeting" before the formal meeting to be held in a few days.

Everyone was a respectable person, and some transactions that could not be made in the open naturally needed a place to be carried out quietly.

For example, such a banquet was a very good choice.

Manolin found a group of people from the Investigation Bureau and joined these people's chat.

Cosimo and Benjamin, the two of them were not interested in these.

Manolin simply asked them to find a corner to enjoy the food.

The people from the Investigation Bureau this time were Saralin, Carter and Adrian.

After greeting a few people, Manolin came to Adrian.

He was still very surprised by Adrian's appearance.

Manolin hadn't seen Adrian for a while, and he thought that Adrian had quit the Investigation Bureau because of the last incident.

"Adrian, where have you been recently? Why haven't I seen you in the Investigation Bureau?"

"Oh~ don't mention it. I was taken by my family to go on a blind date during this period."

"Isn't that good? You are not young anymore, it's just right to get married."

Manolin seemed to have thought of something, and he said again:

"Don't tell me that you have encountered a plot like breaking off the engagement. This is no longer popular now."

Adrian shook his head slowly.

"It would be great if she could break off the engagement."

Adrian seemed to have recalled something, and he shuddered directly.

"The woman who went on a blind date with me is the daughter of a legendary family. Strictly speaking, our family is marrying up."

"But the lady's dignity is really..."

Looking at Adrian who was hesitant, Manolin was very curious, but he couldn't ask any more questions. After all, it was a bit rude to ask someone about his fiancée's appearance.

Fortunately, Adrian was a man who couldn't keep secrets. He said it himself without Manolin asking.

Adrian pointed at Benjamin and said:

"That woman looks pretty good, but her body is more exaggerated than that of your subordinate."

Manolin was so surprised when he saw Benjamin pointed at by Adrian.

He really couldn't imagine that a human could grow to Benjamin's body size.

Manolin thought to himself.

"What is Shi Leng Nezha?"

He quickly patted Adrian's shoulder to comfort him.

"Manolin, I'm going to the New World. "

Manolin, who was about to leave, immediately turned back in surprise.

The New World is quite far from Gran City. If you want to go to the New World by boat in Gran City, it will take two or three months even if everything goes smoothly.

And the New World is not only far away, but also very dangerous.

The cults, criminals, gold diggers, etc. who can't make it in the Old World all gather in the New World.

In particular, there are many extraordinary creatures and legendary strongmen in the New World. With Adrian's strength, he was accidentally crushed to death by a powerful creature passing by in the New World.

"Adrian, you have to think about it. The New World is not a good place. It is very dangerous to go there with your current strength."

Manolin hurriedly persuaded Adrian to calm his brain.

The New World is a place that ordinary people avoid. Before reaching the peak of level nine, you can only survive by luck.

"Manolin, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind. I plan to go to the New World, rely on the environment there to hone my martial arts, and strive to break through to a high level as soon as possible. "

Seeing that Adrian was determined to go, Manolin stopped persuading him.

Soon, as the banquet was about to begin, the invited guests had almost arrived.

A middle-aged man with glasses and a slicked-back hair stood in the center of the banquet hall.

Manolin recognized this guy, Antoine.
