Chapter 1050 Hong KongIn a gorgeous private garden in France, an old man couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Tao Yu in front of him.

"Although Dumbledore has written to me, I am still surprised to see you in person..."

Nicolas Flamel spoke slowly and steadily, and he looked even younger than Dumbledore.

But in fact, this is an old man who is over 600 years old.

And he is the maker of the only Philosopher's Stone in the magic world today!The Philosopher's Stone can continuously produce elixirs of immortality and can also transform gold. Nicolas Flamel has both a long life and endless wealth.

But he and his wife have always maintained a nearly secluded life.

The long lifespan has even made them feel a little bored.

Otherwise, according to the original trajectory, the Philosopher's Stone would not have been destroyed so easily under Dumbledore's persuasion.

"No, sir, your erudition is equally amazing. In many aspects, Headmaster Dumbledore is not as good as you."

Tao Yu drank his afternoon tea with the same calm tone.

At least in terms of alchemy, Nicolas Flamel's talent, combined with his age, has almost reached its limit.

After Tao Yu's repeated inquiries, he could feel that Nicolas Flamel was even intentionally hiding his true level of alchemy.

It seems that he is not very interested in promoting his alchemy.

However, through the analysis of the contact with the Philosopher's Stone and after coming here to communicate with Nicolas Flamel, Tao Yu was able to understand the reason.

The best material for alchemy is the soul!The process of making the Philosopher's Stone probably resulted in the loss of countless lives, a number that is beyond imagination.

This is also the reason why there has been only one Philosopher's Stone for so many years.

Nicolas Flamel was able to create it successfully because of the outbreak of the Black Death, which had an alarming mortality rate.

That disaster might have been a natural disaster, but Nicolas Flamel had lived long enough to understand the evil of human nature.

Once someone finds out how to make the real Philosopher's Stone, it could lead to a man-made disaster and cause casualties on this scale again.

Hearing Tao Yu's praise, Nicolas Flamel looked at him with a complicated expression."No, we two old men are still far behind you. Your talent is truly unheard of and one of a kind..."

Nicolas Flamel's attainments in alchemy have reached the limit of this realm.

So as soon as Tao Yu asked a few key questions, he knew that the other party had already glimpsed the true meaning of making the magic stone.

Coupled with the other party's powerful magical talent, his strength is also amazing. If we wait until he gets old and starts to face the problem of life span, I wonder if he will take that terrible step!Thinking of this, Nicolas Flamel pondered for a moment and continued

"If you are interested in the Philosopher's Stone, or have any needs in the future, I can give it to you directly after I have made enough gold..."

Rather than asking the other party to make another one, Nicolas Flamel would rather give the one he has to the other party, even if the other party no longer provides him with the elixir of immortality. Nicolas Flamel has already become indifferent to life and death.

"Haha, sir, what do you think of me? I don't know if Headmaster Dumbledore has told you that I am not from this world. At the same time, I don't need to worry about my life span."

In order to stop the old man from worrying, Tao Yu simply stated a fact.

"In addition, the alchemical use of souls is not something that cannot be discussed, nor does it mean that the number must reach that of the past to be effective. The number of souls of people who died of natural causes, sudden disasters, and even those who deserved to die in the hospital is not large, but it is enough for temporary use..."

Tao Yu simply explained some of the methods and approaches he had used in his deductions, and Nicolas Flamel also really brought out his level of alchemy to discuss with Tao Yu.

"...Your ideas are truly wild and unconstrained, but they are completely within the framework of alchemy. I really have nothing to teach you about what you have realized on your own..."

Nicolas Flamel finally understood the amazement in Dumbledore's letter.

He is no longer just the ruler of the future wizarding world. Even now, if he wants, he has enough power to stir up a storm that subverts the entire wizarding world. The magic phone that has just been launched can only be regarded as an appetizer.

"Thank you for your teaching. If you have any trouble later, you can contact me directly."

Tao Yu waved the phone in his hand and then stood up.

I've been here to exploit this old man for a while, and it's almost time to set off again.

Now that the wizarding world has passed its period of rapid development, it is time to change course.

"I heard that you specially obtained an identity in the Muggle world. It just so happens that I also have some industries and influence in the Muggle world. If you need anything, you can also contact me..."

Although Nicolas Flamel lived in seclusion, he was also well-known in the Muggle world. There were also rumors that he could turn mercury into gold, but the name passed down in the Muggle world was the 'Philosopher's Stone'...

"I will if you need me to. Bye."

"Bon Voyage……"

Watching Tao Yu casually swing his wand and disappear in an illusion, Nicolas Flamel sighed with emotion, the young are indeed formidable...

……

In the first-class lounge at London Airport, Tao Yu casually flipped through some news on his phone, and casually said to the old butler who inherited the Duke of Sutherland's family.

"So, the recent strange incidents have been gradually increasing?"

The property inherited by the Duke of Sutherland's family is approximately 50 million pounds, which is not a small amount, but after deducting most of the industries settled in the form of shares and assets, the liquid funds are not too exaggerated, and they do not have their own private jet.

But even so, as one of the few remaining hereditary ducal families, the family's reputation cannot be lost.

The old butler and the two bodyguards in suits inherited the family wealth. Tao Yu also needed some errands, so he did not refuse.

At the same time, for such a high-ranking family, they have more information about strange events that ordinary people are completely unaware of.

Perhaps a fortune of 50 million pounds does not make him one of the richest men on earth, but in terms of relationships, a hereditary duke still carries a lot of weight.

"Master Yu, you may be a little surprised when you first come across this information, but what I want to tell you is that strange events do exist, and have even caused many deaths and injuries. However, please do not worry too much. Not to mention that the probability of encountering them is extremely low, and all countries have begun to try to control and contain the strangeness..."

Old Butler John was meticulous in his words, and his whole body exuded a natural elegance.

Although he didn't know how this illegitimate young master inherited the title and wealth after layers of competition, the fact was that the other party was now his young master.

Although the young master is young, he is far superior to his peers in terms of how he deals with people. The family still has a promising future after keeping a low profile for a while.

Fudge personally handled the matter in order to please Tao Yu. The loyal old butler who was inherited was only responsible to the family. Now that Tao Yu has inherited the title, he will be responsible to Tao Yu and will not do anything to take advantage of his seniority or bully his master.

"Oh? Then what is the corresponding organization of Great Britain? There should be some special organization, right?"

Tao Yu's question made Old John pause, then he said"For the time being, the newly formed Military Intelligence Department 7 will be in charge of coordinating some special wielders to handle related matters, using bounties and mercenaries."

Old John's words also made Tao Yu roll his eyes in his heart.

After looking at the Military Intelligence Department, it can only be regarded as a decoration. Its main function is to coordinate. It does not have any ghost control power in its hands, or the corresponding power is weak.

It can probably be seen as outsourcing the business.

However, considering that the strange incidents are not frequent at present, it is enough.

"Can you hire a ghost rider bodyguard?"

Tao Yu did not avoid the two bodyguards when talking to them. One of them, George, a burly man with golden hair, took the initiative to take over the topic."I don't recommend you to do this. Our company has tried to recruit ghost riders, but most of them have perverse personalities and are unruly. It seems that they usually have a short lifespan after riding the ghost. There are too many uncontrollable factors, and some even have a record of harming their employers. We gave up after trying it for a while."

After saying this, he paused for a moment and then continued"But if you have some temporary related employment, you can tell me directly. I have received feedback from my company that we can still find a few relatively stable mercenaries. It is best to hire and settle according to the single task method. It is not suitable for close protection, and it is best not for you to show up in person..."

When talking about this, George seemed a little solemn. He had personally seen a ghost rider who cooperated with the head office once, and he was quite difficult to deal with.

And if the Trickster wanted to harm his employer, he would find himself without the ability to protect himself.

"Okay, I'll talk to you when I need you."

Tao Yu put down his phone, and then seemed to have thought of something and asked

"By the way, if I wasn't the one who inherited it, who would have been the most likely candidate? Is he very angry?"

"Well, it might have been Mr. Joseph, but he was very generous and is still working for our film and television company."

Old John spoke briefly, as if he was worried that Tao Yu had some prejudice against Joseph.

"Oh."

Tao Yu just nodded and said nothing more.

He is quite generous. However, the killer who wanted to kill him a little further away in the terminal was probably hired by him...

He had just re-entered the Muggle world, and his only entanglement with the outside world was the title and wealth he had inherited, so the troubles he had encountered were naturally caused by this.

The killer is an ordinary person without any special abilities, but Tao Yu had previously investigated the dark web. Mainland Hotel's business is spread all over the world, so it is highly likely that the reward was offered by Mainland Hotel.

However, the two bodyguards around him were quite capable. They kept taking turns to remain highly vigilant and cooperated well with each other.

No one can stay alert all the time, not even professional bodyguards, but the George brothers can complete this replacement tacitly, leaving no chance for the assassins in the dark.

"We're about to board the plane. I'm going to the bathroom."

Tao Yu looked at the time and stood up, and the two bodyguards followed him very professionally.

"There's no need to keep following this kind of thing. This is an airport."

When Tao Yu just stood up and talked to the two bodyguards, the thin man who was secretly staring at Tao Yu had already stood up and headed to the bathroom. If he followed in, it would easily alert the bodyguards, but it would be much more natural if he went in first.

Judging the target's subsequent actions by their expression and tone, and laying an ambush in advance, this is what the 'Jackal' is best at.

As one of the top killers in the world, 'Jackal' is relatively thin and weak, and his strength is not his strong point. But as a killer he does not need to be good at frontal combat. He once had a record of predicting and sniping a target from 3,800 meters away.

That assassination made him famous.

However, this time the target itinerary was not arranged in advance, and he could not find a suitable sniping point, so he could only resort to some alternative methods.

The escape route had already been scouted out, and the structural diagram of the airport had been obtained. If successful, he could immediately leave through the ventilation duct in the bathroom, change his clothes, and escape.

While entering the bathroom in advance and finding a cubicle, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, pressed his stomach and moved it upwards. The next moment, he spit out a sealed plastic sphere from his mouth, which was filled with a colorless and odorless liquid.

Then he took out his key and quickly poked the sphere, spilling the liquid inside evenly on the handkerchief, and then he heard a noise coming from outside.

Killing someone on the spot would leave too little time for escape, so this method would be more relaxed.

The Jackal became a killer not out of a desire to sacrifice his own life, but purely to make money, and his most important thing was to escape safely every time.

So far, no one knows what he looks like. Every time he goes to a mainland hotel, he wears a headgear and high-heeled shoes. He also hopes to make enough money one day and live a stable life with his wife and children.

Click~The jackal opened the door of his compartment normally, and was ready to throw the handkerchief into the target's face.

But what came was a huge force on the wrist.

The next moment his wrist was dislocated and the handkerchief in his hand fell to the ground.

Looking at the young man in front of him who was holding his wrist and skillfully dislocating his joints, the jackal felt a little bit unbelievable.

He is indeed not very good at frontal combat, but that is only relative to some top masters.

And how did the other party react and launch a counterattack in the first place?!

He noticed him from the beginning?!"You are too careless."

Tao Yu looked at the thin killer and his tone was very calm.

"S-Sir, I don't know what you are talking about. You hurt me. I feel like my wrist is broken."

The jackal's powerful mental abilities allowed him to show just the right amount of panic on his face.

Tao Yu looked down at the handkerchief that fell to the ground."VX neurotoxin, you want to buy time to make it easier for you to escape?"

After hearing Tao Yu say this, the jackal completely gave up.

He originally thought that he still had a chance to defend himself since he hadn't taken action yet and hadn't shown any evidence, but now the evidence was on the ground!

This made him feel very difficult, as if all his secrets were transparent to the other party!Can you identify this colorless and odorless toxin just by looking at it?

He had thought about his failure and his farewell, but he had never thought that he would face such a goal in this way.

“A very nice soul.”

Just when the jackal was feeling hopeless, the other party's words made him feel a little strange.

What do you mean?But the next moment, he saw the other party pull out a short stick and point it at him casually, and then he saw with his own eyes that his body instantly turned into powder and disappeared!

And 'myself' was bound by a force and floated in the air!

soul?!What did the other party do?What kind of goal is this?Are they the legendary ghost riders?

"Since you want to kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed. Your soul is of good quality and can be used as a simple consumable and medium. If you behave appropriately, it will not be consumed so quickly..."

Tao Yu casually dealt with the poisonous handkerchief that fell on the ground to avoid affecting other people, and then left the bathroom as if nothing had happened.

With substantial evidence, there's no problem handing this guy over to the authorities.

But things are too lengthy and cumbersome, so it’s better to handle them as they are now.

The old butler and the two bodyguards had no idea what had happened in such a short time, nor did they know that a spirit was floating around them. They boarded the flight to Hong Kong normally...

……

Hong Kong in the 1990s was at the height of its prosperity, and with the explosion of technology following the integration of the world, it displayed a unique flavor.

Today, Hong Kong is controlled by several top families. Just considering the wealth that Tao Yu inherited, it is not enough to be placed here.

However, Tao Yu's title was of extraordinary status for Hong Kong at that time.

An illegitimate son of a Hong Konger inherited the title of Duke of Sutherland. This incident caused a severe information shock to the whole of Hong Kong.

It has always received high attention.

Even though Tao Yu had not announced her itinerary, she was already targeted by the powerful paparazzi when she got off the plane.

Just because of Tao Yu's identity, even the paparazzi didn't dare to harass her directly, but only dared to follow her and take pictures.

Tao Yu's own demeanor, as well as the different temperaments displayed by the butler and bodyguard behind him, perfectly met all their fantasies about British aristocracy.

"Hey, he's so handsome at such a young age, is there any justice in the world? Oh my god, he's a hereditary duke."

A pretty female reporter wearing a red belly-baring top and light makeup kept murmuring as she signaled the cameraman behind her to secretly film Tao Yu.

So stylish!

His appearance, temperament and identity match perfectly, making him the most perfect character.

"Huizhen, wake up, you are older than him."

The cameraman secretly filmed and did not forget to make a complaint at the same time.

But the next moment, Le Huizhen hit him in the vitals with her high heels, and he almost fell to his knees.

"You don't have to talk if you can't. Besides, what's wrong with being older? Do you know that a girl who is three years older than you is rich?"

"You are more than three years older..."

Even though his vitals were attacked, the cameraman still managed to finish him off with great difficulty, making Le Huizhen really want to give him an elbow.

"He returned to Hong Kong right after inheriting the title, which shows that he still has feelings for this place."

Le Huizhen muttered to herself.

The cameraman also managed to recover, climbed up again, looked at the nanny car coming in front, and then quickly said

"Eh? Isn't that Long Wei's car? Why is he here?"

"Among the businesses he inherited, a large part is the film and television company. He has shares in many film and television companies in Hong Kong. Long Wei is also considered his top star, so it is natural for him to come and greet him."

Le Huizhen has been following Long Wei on the set of his films recently. She has always suspected that he is using a body double. A big reason why Long Wei became famous after his debut is that he has never used a body double. She wants to expose the fact that he used a body double to become famous.

Therefore, he had some understanding of both Long Wei and the next Duke of Sutherland.

On Tao Yu's side, the old housekeeper also noticed some paparazzi filming secretly, and said to Tao Yu with a slightly frowned face:

"Master, the local reporters are so rude."

However, despite saying so, Old John still felt a little proud in his heart. Although his family was somewhat in decline now, it was still a hereditary ducal family.

Even without any prior notice, coming here will cause a sensation.

Then he also saw Long Wei coming to greet him.

Old John must have met Long Wei before, and he said in a reserved manner:

"Thank you for welcoming me, Mr. Long Wei. I'm sorry to bother you during this period of time."

"No, no, it's my honor to receive His Excellency the Duke. His Excellency the Duke is the glory of us Hong Kong people."

Although Long Wei looked like a superstar, his expression at this moment was a little greasy. He then excitedly extended his hand to Tao Yu, and Tao Yu also extended his hand and shook hands with him.

"I have long heard of Brother Long Wei's reputation. Just speak Chinese. My Chinese is pretty good."

Tao Yu also glanced at the bodyguard following behind Long Wei. Li Jie, also called 'bold' by Long Wei, was both this guy's stand-in and bodyguard.

In the past, due to a bomb explosion, his family suffered misfortune, and he came here under an assumed name.

Hong Kong is not a big place, but it integrates several worlds and is also one of the nodes of the current world!

When Tao Yu arrived here as the Duke of Sutherland, he could feel his legendary status slowly increasing before he did anything.

"Fudge has chosen a good identity."

While Tao Yu was feeling the legendary anchor, Old John beside him briefly explained the purpose of this trip."This time when the young master returned to Hong Kong, besides checking some accounts of related businesses, he mainly came to relax. There is no need to make a big fuss on weekdays. He just greeted all the reporters here..."
