Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!
Chapter 220 The Pie I Can’t Refuse
Although Lawrence Kraft's explanation seems reasonable and is accepted by most people, there is still an important unresolved issue.
Soon, someone stood up again, with a hint of vigilance in his voice, "Mr. Lawrence, I would like to ask a question. As far as I know, most of the superpowers who came to help the Lawrence family in the past did not survive in the end. Leave. What is the reason for this?"
When many people heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and the greedy light that originally flickered in their eyes dimmed a bit.
Everyone's eyes turned to Lawrence Kraft, waiting for his answer, with a little nervousness and worry at the same time.
Lawrence Kraft showed a bitter and helpless smile, and said in a deep voice: "This is also a mystery that we have been unable to solve. It is usually not a big deal for ordinary people to combine with members of our family and give birth to children."
"The strange thing is that although those with supernatural abilities are able to successfully reproduce offspring after merging with members of our family, they have a certain chance of contracting a strange disease that cannot be cured, and eventually take their lives."
"Therefore, in order to reduce accidents and risks as much as possible, our Lawrence family has established strict rules."
"Any superpower who gives birth to seven offspring together with members of our family will not be allowed to continue to reproduce."
"At the same time, as a token of gratitude and compensation, we will give you RMB 100 million to express our most sincere gratitude."
"Of course, I must stress that this remains a high-risk matter and we in the Lawrence family would never force anyone to accept this assignment."
"Every superpower has the right to decide whether he or she is willing to help us continue our bloodline. We respect every superpower's choice and are grateful to every friend who is willing to lend a helping hand."
Most of the people in the hall were already dizzy by the astronomical figure of 100 million RMB.
All they saw was the glittering wealth. As for what Lawrence Kraft said later, they didn't listen at all, and they had no intention of paying attention.
Yunshan opened her eyes wide, with a confused look on her face. She murmured to herself: "It sounds like the Lawrence family doesn't have any ill intentions."
"Hmm..." Cecily also had some doubts in her eyes. After thinking about it, she turned her gaze to Li Ming, "Little man, what do you think?"
Li Ming chuckled lightly, "If I really didn't have any malice, I wouldn't have drugged the wine."
"But at least they didn't force these people to participate." Yun Shan's tone was a little weak.
"This is the brilliance of the Lawrence family." Li Ming said calmly, "Forcing others is definitely the last resort to kill the goose that lays the egg, or even dig your own grave."
"In this world, people with supernatural abilities are already rare, and it's even harder to find them."
"Therefore, the villa must not have a bad reputation at least on the surface, so as not to scare away those superpowers."
"Then, using money to clear the way is the best strategy. You can imagine that when a few people leave the villa with a huge sum of 100 million and unlimited glory, the news will spread in the shortest time as if it has wings. All over the world.”
"This organic propaganda effect is more powerful than any deliberately planned means."
"People will be keen to discuss those super-powerful people who successfully took away a huge sum of 100 million, while in contrast, the stories of losers will gradually be downplayed."
“After all, with such huge returns, isn’t it normal for the risks to be high?”
Cecily nodded in deep agreement, "You are right, humans are never afraid of risks, they mainly depend on the rewards."
Lawrence Kraft did not stay at the banquet for long. After saying a brief farewell to everyone, he turned and left the banquet hall under the strict protection of his personal bodyguards.
After a while, Li Ming and others stood up at the same time and walked towards the hall.
When they walked to the door, they happened to meet the team led by Fa Ming.
In addition to the two teams, there were more than a dozen superpowers gathered at the door.
Obviously, everyone has the same purpose, which is to go to Lawrence Kraft to discuss how to break the mysterious curse.
Birchard, the butler in charge of the banquet hall, did not show much surprise after learning their purpose.
"Please come with me. My master has already told me that if anyone is willing to take the initiative to investigate the curse, you can go directly to meet him."
Birchard led them all the way through the corridors of the villa, and finally arrived at the hospital located at the back of the villa.
Lawrence Kraft was standing in front of a huge glass window. His eyes were peering through the glass at a little boy in the room who was wailing in pain on the bed.
The boy looked to be only five or six years old, but his skin was extremely rough, showing a gray color, as if shrouded in a shadow.
His little body was twisted feebly on the bed, as if he was suffering from unspeakable pain.
"His name is Jack, and he is my grandson. The suffering he endured is the curse that our Lawrence family has passed down from generation to generation." Lawrence Kraft's voice revealed unspeakable sadness.
Cecily's eyes suddenly shrank, and she whispered: "This is mental pollution, but its intensity is so weak that it is almost not contagious."
"It's not surprising. Children are contaminated because they have little resistance." Li Ming nodded, with a hint of relief in his tone.
The two spoke a common game language. Lawrence Kraft couldn't understand it, but the people on the other team did.
"Excuse me, what do you mean by mental pollution?" Fa Ming couldn't help but ask.
Li Ming's team obviously knows more information, which is not good news for them.
Cecily snorted and ignored him at all.
"A kind of pollution that is difficult to resist. If it is serious, it will turn into a monster that loses its mind." Li Ming explained simply.
"That's it? What else?" Anthony looked a little dissatisfied.
Cecily immediately widened her eyes and retorted unceremoniously: "Are you asking questions? Besides, why should I tell you such important information?"
"We are players who participate in the game together, shouldn't we share information? And we can also help analyze it. It's not like we take your information for nothing." Chen Xijuan said matter-of-factly.
"Haha..." Cecily almost laughed angrily, "You want to steal our information for free, and you are so confident, just dream!"
Lawrence Kraft frowned, a trace of displeasure welling up in his heart.
The two groups were noisy in front of him, completely ignoring his master.
But for some unknown reason, he did not express this emotion.
On the other hand, the dozen or so superpowers around were dumbfounded and thought to themselves, do these people know what they are doing?
