Chapter 30: Seeking Skin with the Tiger

On the middle avenue in Luoye Town, there was a lonely figure walking slowly. This was Peter. At this moment, he looked like a male cat who had just undergone sterilization surgery.

Peter had a purse in his hand, and his last share was his share. Although the amount was not large, Peter felt that the purse was extremely heavy. Because it contained not only money, but also humiliation, which was heavy humiliation, which was so depressing that it was hard to breathe.

A sense of frustration arose in Peter's heart, and this sense of frustration became stronger and stronger, just like a dough fermenting rapidly, and eventually completely occupied Peter's inner world.

"That hateful guy, he kept playing with me like a monkey!" Peter clenched his fists angrily.

At this time, Peter hated Phil extremely because Phil was the ultimate winner; Peter hated himself even more because he was like a silly roe deer, and he got into Phil's trap without knowing it at all. For Peter, this sense of shame of being crushed by IQ will be a mark of failure and will always follow him and will never be washed away in his life.

Failure will bring psychological shadows to people, and failure caused by one's own stupidity will cause psychological distortion and make people unable to distinguish right from wrong.

"You can't just forget it. I want to take revenge. I want to pay back the shame I encountered today!" Peter was blinded by the hatred in his heart. At this moment, there was only one thing in his mind, and that was revenge!

"Go to find President Horton. Phil caused the Horton Chamber of Commerce to suffer heavy losses. Now the only one who can deal with Phil is President Horton!"

Thinking of this, Peter didn't even care about packing his luggage, so he turned around and walked towards the capital city.

...

The Holden Chamber of Commerce is facing the biggest crisis since its establishment. The Chamber of Commerce mortgaged most of its assets in exchange for more than 100,000 ivory. With the emergence of resin billiards, these ivory became useless waste, lying quietly in the warehouse to eat dust. If the Holden Chamber of Commerce cannot pay back the money, it can only watch those assets be taken away by others.

"If I hadn't intervened in the billiards business..." President Horton sighed lightly. At this time, President Horton finally began to regret it, and he began to review what he did.

"Am I too greedy? No, the billiards business is very profitable, and even a businessman will not give up. Even without me, other chambers of commerce will make a fuss! Did I underestimate that down-and-out nobleman too much? Maybe, I didn't expect that guy suddenly got a resin out. He was really lucky, or I was a little bad."

President Horton died for half a minute, then walked to the table, silently picked up the pen, and wrote a letter on the parchment.

Then President Horton called out to the servant: "Go and give this to my uncle, and you must hand it over to him in person."

"President, I'll go right away." The servant took the letter, but did not leave immediately.

"Is there anything else?" President Horton asked.

"I received the news that Peter had returned from the town of Leaf. He was in the hotel now and would probably come to see you soon." The servant hesitated for two seconds and continued, "President, I think you are too kind to Peter. If Peter hadn't brought the wrong news, we wouldn't have bought ivory, and the chamber of commerce would not have faced difficulties. But instead of punishing Peter, you gave him some money."

"The Chamber of Commerce that Peter caused was suffering heavy losses, and I also wanted to cut him into pieces, but now is not the time. I still need him to figure out what the material called resin is." President Horton said this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "I hope he can bring back some useful news this time, otherwise, I don't mind letting a useless waste disappear in this world forever!"

...

Peter stood in front of President Horton again. This time he did not feel nervous or scared, but instead felt a little excited and happy. Because this time, Peter's purpose was to avenge Phil. Now that he saw President Horton, Peter had an illusion that he had successfully taken the first step of revenge.

"Did you figure out what resin is?" President Holden asked with a kind face.

"I figured it out that resin is an alchemy product. The metal smelting workshop that Phil built before was actually an alchemy workshop, and all the resin was produced from that workshop." Peter's confident expression seemed to provide very useful information.

"Then you must have gotten the alchemy formula for resin, right?" President Horton asked again.

"The alchemy formula of resin was developed by Phil. Every time resin is made, Phil alone, and others should not know this formula. Under normal circumstances, alchemists will not easily disclose their own formula." Peter answered honestly.

"In other words, you didn't get the alchemy formula for resin?" President Horton's kind expression disappeared instantly, replaced by a strong murderous intent.

With the murderous intent of President Horton, the two men suddenly walked into the room and approached Peter with a bad expression. The bronze badges hanging on the two men also showed their identity as the junior magician.

Peter instantly felt that President Horton had a murderous intention, and even realized that the two junior magicians were not kind-hearted. The two looked at themselves like the butcher was watching the fat pig tied to the chopping board.

Peter suddenly realized that he had made a wrong decision. He only wanted to use the Holden Chamber of Commerce to take revenge, but forgot that the President Horton in front of him was not the kind of law-abiding person.

The Holden family was originally descended from criminals, and the blood of criminals flowed in their bodies. The people of the Holden family were born with the genes of criminals. The road to the rise of the Holden Chamber of Commerce was paved with the blood and lives of others. They didn't care about killing an extra bartender.

"Following a tiger!" The word "Secret with a tiger!" appeared in Peter's mind, and Peter suddenly became much more awake. In an instant, his back was wet. He could even predict that as long as President Horton gave his order, his head would fall to the ground and his body would be buried in an uninhabited place and would never be discovered by others.

Peter smelled the breath of death, and the fear came, which instantly inspired Peter's will to survive.

"President Holden, listen to me. Although I can't get the alchemy formula for resin, I have other ways." Peter said panickedly: "Just capture Phil, then torture him and force him to tell the alchemy formula for resin. I am very familiar with Luoye Town, and I also know Phil's life rules. I can help you!"

President Horton hesitated for a few seconds, then waved his hand and asked the two junior magicians to retreat, as if he had agreed with Peter's idea.

Peter breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that his life has been saved.
