The anger in his heart was like a dormant volcano gradually waking up, as if it was about to erupt completely in the next second, flooding the entire nursing home.

At this moment, Evie's instructions to him before leaving suddenly echoed in his mind:

"Be careful, don't get yourself into any trouble again..."

At the same time, he also remembered that his mission to the nursing home was to monitor Elliotson.

However, after witnessing what happened just now, Jacob stared closely at Elliotson's eyes, gradually becoming firmer, full of killing intent.

At this moment, there is only one thought left in his mind, and that is:

Kill Elliotson, the white devil who experiments with patients!

Chapter 232 Medical Crisis

For a master assassin, it is never difficult to really want to assassinate someone.

What's more, the target is just an unarmed old doctor in his 60s...

The assassination method adopted by Jacob is quite ironic.

He first sneaked into the morgue, disguised himself as a corpse, and was pushed into the middle of the hall of the medical laboratory by the apprentices.

Then, as John Elliotson approached the cart, he jerked back the white cloth and plunged the Hidden Blade into the target's neck.

Just as Elliotson took the life of the male patient, he also took Elliotson's life...

After successfully assassinating Elliotson in front of everyone, Jacob quickly escaped from the nursing home and returned to the hotel.

It wasn't until the next morning that he came to the train hideout and confessed to the others what he had done.

Obviously, Evie was very angry at her younger brother's impulsive behavior regardless of the consequences.

Maybe it's because such things have happened too many times since childhood, which made Evie form a prejudice.

She didn't wait for Jacob to tell the reason, and she directly reprimanded:

"Jacob, what is going on in your mind?!"

"Your task should have been to monitor Elliotson's every move and find out all the owners of the potion formula, instead of just killing him!"

Jacob, who knew he was wrong, just sat on the seat without saying a word, and did not refute his twin sister as usual.

However, the appearance of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water made Evie feel even more angry.

Just when she was about to continue talking, Lu Qi, who was standing aside, suddenly interrupted:

"Evie!"

Shaking his head to Yiwei who was angry, Lu Qi stepped forward and said:

"Jacob, remember our bet?"

This sentence seemed to have some kind of magical power, which immediately attracted Jacob's attention.

He raised his head slightly and looked at Lu Qi with slightly puzzled eyes.

"of course I remember."

"Then you should remember that you once promised me to obey my orders, but you have not done so now."

After all, Lu Qi's expression was solemn, and he said deliberately:

"I thought you were a person who kept your promise... It seems that I was wrong."

Hearing this, Jacob immediately reacted.

Among all the people present, the one he didn't want to disappoint was not Yi Wei, the twin sister, nor Green, the senior of the London Assassins, but Lu Qi who defeated him!

Because, his self-esteem does not allow him to bow his head again in front of Lu Qi!

Jacob, who was hit by the aggressive method, changed his silence, stared closely at Lu Qi's eyes, and said:

"You have no idea what I saw there!"

"Then tell me, why did you kill Elliotson at the expense of breaking your promise?!"

This question is also a doubt in the hearts of Evie and Green.

Seeing the eyes focused on him, Jacob couldn't help taking it off, and told everything he saw in the nursing home last night.

After finishing speaking, Jacob did not forget to ask a thought-provoking question:

"If it were you, would you just watch him continue to torture those poor patients? Anyway, I can't do it."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a moment of silence in the carriage.

After a while, Evie asked:

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands, Jacob put on a look of indifference, and said lightly:

"Dear sister, I don't want to justify my actions. After all, no matter what the reason is, it can't change the fact that I don't obey orders..."

Hearing this, Evie opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.

At this time, Lu Qi, who was on the side, suddenly took over the conversation and said:

"Jacob, if I were you, I would make the same choice as you."

This sentence made everyone startled for a while.

Especially Jacob, his eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Lu Qi with doubts:

"You mean... I'm doing well?"

"Listen to me... Before I kill Elliotson, I will dig out the information I want from him."

"Did you do this?"

Facing Lu Qi, Jacob scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, unable to answer:

"Uh..."

After giving Jacob a look to let him slowly understand, Lu Qi turned around and came to the assassination wall, knocked on Elliotson's photo, and changed the topic:

"Actually, killing Elliotson is not a bad thing. After all, from the very beginning, I never thought about letting him live."

"It's just that once Elliotson dies, we don't know whether Starry has anyone else who can make potions. This puts us in a passive situation, and the development of the situation is no longer under our control .”

"I'm afraid, the time left for us to react is running out..."

. . .

The more you are afraid of something, the more you will come.

As Lu Qi expected, things got out of their control.

On the second day after Elliotson's death, Starry Company announced that the analgesic potions on the market would be permanently discontinued!

This news made Lu Qi and others temporarily relieved.

However, what happened next made them fully realize the seriousness of affecting the whole body.

With Elliotson's death, Starry, which suffered a huge loss, stopped funding the Lambeth Sanitarium.

In desperation, the nursing home can only be forced to close.A large number of mental patients in the hospital were also sent home or sent to other places, which increased the burden on public security in various parts of London.

Not only that, the closure of nursing homes has caused problems in an important part of the entire city's healthcare system.

The supply of medicines in the whole city suddenly fell into chaos.

Fake medicines flow into the market and flood the market; real medicines are secretly sold to the rich by black market profiteers, earning high profits...

In order to obtain the supply of medicines, Lu Qi and Yiwei went to St. Thomas' Hospital, trying to find Dr. Morans who treated Alice last time, and asked about the medicine suppliers.

However, what they didn't expect was that they actually met the "Goddess with the Lamp" Nightingale who came to the hospital for inspection!

As early as eight years ago, Nightingale used the [-] pounds awarded by the government to create the world's first nursing school in St. Thomas' Hospital.

Knowing the purpose of Lu Qi and Yi Wei's visit, Nightingale pointed them out to the biggest black market in London, which is in the Lambeth district!

Many of the stolen medicines and supplies were transferred there to be auctioned off at high prices.

As long as they get back a sufficient batch of medicines, she can manufacture the medicines needed by the people, persist until the supply of medicines in hospitals is restored, and London will also survive this medical crisis...

Chapter 233 I am determined to eat Lambeth District, even Jesus can't keep it!

It is night, the moon and stars are rare.

Starry Mansion, in the luxuriously decorated study room.

Two core executives of the British Rite of the Templars were having a lively discussion about Elliotson's death:

"Ellison is dead, and the analgesic medicine has been discontinued!"

"Fry intends to have all of London in the hands of the mob!"

"Maybe he didn't intend to do anything but simply mess up our lives."

"Nursing homes are closed, the entire city's health care system is in disarray, drug prices are skyrocketing, it's completely out of order!"

"But he can't understand the seriousness of his actions. This kind of person is simply an anarchist!"

But Starry, who was sitting on the desk chair, listened to his subordinates without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.

As the youngest son of the Starry family in the West End of London, Starry was able to stand out from several brothers and finally became the boss of Starry Enterprises, a London railway tycoon.

To a large extent, thanks to his charisma and ability to disguise.

Born in a wealthy family, he learned to cover up his inner disdain with a smile and flattery since he was a child, and after practice and tempering, he became a master of controlling people's hearts.

Every move seems to have its own meaning...

Pick up the teaspoon and add a spoonful of fine sugar to the steaming cup of black tea in front of you.

After stirring evenly, Starry picked up the teacup and interrupted the impotent rage of his subordinates:

"Gentlemen!"

As soon as the voice fell, the discussion stopped abruptly.

Everyone in the study turned their eyes to the middle-aged man with a mustache behind the desk.

Taking a sip of the black tea in the cup, Starry closed his eyes to enjoy the sweetness, and then slowly said:

"This cup of tea was transported here from India by ship, trans-shipped into the port, then sent to the factory to pack, and from there was brought to my house in a horse-drawn carriage, unpacked in my warehouse, brewed and sent to In my hands upstairs."

"All of the above are the fruits of the labor of the men and women who serve me. They can live, work, and live. These are all thanks to me, Crawford Starry, who bestowed on them. They will work in my factory for life, and their children will repeat the process..."

After a pause, Starry frowned slightly, his eyes filled with contempt:

"And you came here to tell me about Jacob Frye? This insignificant kid still claims to be an assassin?! You really don't respect this busy city..."

"So, let's have tea, this miracle, this cup of tea!"

Apparently, Starry didn't take Jacob's mess seriously.

Seeing that the boss had expressed his opinion, the two senior members of the Knights Templar stopped expressing their opinions.

At this moment, Lucy Thorne, who was dressed as a Templar knight, also walked into the study.

"Ah! Miss Lucy, you are just in time, let's have a cup of tea!"

Hearing Starry's invitation, she went straight to the side, picked up a cup of hot tea prepared by the servant, sniffed it, and then said:

"My studies are nearing completion, our dear London, should not have been bothered so long by these troublesome idiots..."

"I heard you've been molested by this sister for a while. What's her name? Miss Frye?"

"Miss Frye will not be a problem, but the Asian man next to her may be the troublesome person."

Hearing this, Starry couldn't help but feel a little bit of curiosity, and asked:

"Asian? Got a name?"

"Mars, or Tyson, the boss of a new gang, I heard that his skills are very good."

Hearing the term "gang boss", Starry seemed to think of something, and the disgust in his eyes flashed away.

The curiosity in my heart also disappeared.

"This kind of guy, just leave it to Ross to deal with it, there is no need to dirty our own hands..."
