Looking at the old man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Zhang Chengming was stunned, but soon recovered his composure, smiled and saluted: "of course! This is the purpose of my trip. What do you call it?"


    "Francis, just call me Francy. I''ve served Mr. congressman for 50 years and I''m his most loyal servant. I have to say that it''s hard for me to see him leave the world in pain. I hope he can fulfill his last expectations before swallowing his last breath."


    As he spoke, the old man walked ahead and led the way. From beginning to end, he didn''t look at Polman. To be exact, he completely ignored his existence.


    However, Polman did not show even a little dissatisfaction, just followed quietly. He knows very well that he is still a trivial "cleaner" in the eyes of many senior executives. Unless one day he can prove his strength or ability, he will never be recognized.


    As a lawyer who has been involved in various lawsuits for a long time, he has long been used to the cold and warm of human relations and the cold of the world. He knows when to be patient and when to become stronger.


    Zhang Cheng ignored the delicate atmosphere between the two and quickly took the elevator to the door of the intensive care unit.


    Just as he was about to open the door and go in, Francis suddenly stopped, turned around and said to the lawyer seriously, "excuse me, sir, the senator just wants to see Zhang. Could you wait outside with me?"


    "No problem!" Polman agreed without thinking.


    "Thank you very much! Mr. Zhang, please come in." Francis opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.


    Zhang Cheng took a deep breath and walked directly across the threshold into the house.


    I don''t remember the pungent taste of disinfectant unique to the traditional Chinese medicine hospital. On the contrary, it is due to the placement of a large number of plants, full of faint grass fragrance, and even an iron tree in flowering on the balcony.


    No wonder some people would say that Columbia and Cornell Presbyterian hospitals in New York are special hospitals specially prepared for the rich. Neither the environment nor services are comparable to ordinary hospitals. Coupled with the chilling medical expenses in the United States, I''m afraid there are no assets of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, so it''s impossible to afford the bills here.


    "Ah, you''re here at last, young wizard." miles, lying on the hospital bed, tapped on the bedside table, trying to attract the guest''s attention.


    "It''s a great honor to be summoned by you, your excellency." Zhang Cheng owes his lower body slightly to show his respect.


    Through the training of the song of ice and fire, he can skillfully deal with all kinds of occasions and ensure that he will not be impolite due to the difference of etiquette culture.


    Miles looked carefully at the young man standing in front of him. After a full minute, he sighed in a rather surprised tone: "I heard you had successfully banished a demon, but I didn''t expect you to have reached this level."


    "To what extent?" Zhang Cheng asked, pretending to know nothing.


    "How to say..."


    Miles touched his chin as if thinking about something. About three or five seconds later, he explained in a deep voice: "according to the standards set by the parliament a long time ago, all residents of the underground world will be divided into 24 levels according to their strength, which are expressed in 24 Greek initials


    Among them, the four levels from alpha to delta are low-level, which is not enough to pose any substantive threat. The vast majority of ordinary residents belong to this category. They have a large number, but they can only engage in some marginal occupations to maintain their daily life.


    However, from epsilon, the risk will increase exponentially until the eighth level, that is, the west tower level, will become a watershed.


    Those above the west tower level are eligible to become lords, while those below the west tower level can only become knights who swear allegiance to the lords at most.


    Judging from the energy around your body, you just crossed the west tower level. Even without alchemy, you are fully qualified to be a Lord.


    I have to say that this surprised me. Although the underground world never lacks talented young strong people, most of them either come from ancient families that have passed on for hundreds or even thousands of years, or elite carefully cultivated by some organizations.


    But you are different. You suddenly appear alone in a remote alley in New York harbor and don''t understand the rules of the underground world.


    I wonder where you come from and where you get your knowledge and strength? "


    With one question after another directed at the core, the old man with shining wisdom in his eyes approached Zhang Cheng to the corner.


    Perhaps he has lost most of his strength, but he is a terrible opponent.


    "So, I''m qualified to be a lord now, right?" Zhang Cheng wisely turned off the topic.


    He is not an idiot. He knows that lying is definitely the stupidest behavior now. He simply chooses to avoid it.


    "Ha ha! Cunning guy! Well, since you don''t want to expose your origin, I don''t insist, but as the beginning of a friendly negotiation, you must show something to express your sincerity?" Miles laughed and spread his hand.


    In fact, he didn''t intend to get the origin of the other party from the beginning. He just wanted to increase his chips in this way.


    Zhang Cheng secretly scolded the old fox, opened his backpack, took out several glass test tubes with strange luster and handed them to him: "here, I believe they should be enough to express my sincerity."


    Miles, who had given alchemy all his life, hurriedly struggled to make it, took the magic potion, opened the plug and took a sip one by one. With each sip, his eyes brightened. Finally, he praised without hesitation: "Perfect! No impurities! No pollution! Pure is like an alchemy stone! How on earth did you do it? Damn it! If I hadn''t died soon, I would find a way to ask you the principle of this Alchemy skill."


    "Calm down, Mr. congressman, I don''t want to see you die early because of your emotional excitement. Now, why do you want to meet me at this time? Or what do you want to exchange with me with your knowledge?" Zhang Cheng pointed out the topic directly.


    "Don''t worry, young man, don''t worry. I can''t die for a while. We have enough time. First of all, you have to tell me what the desire witch Catherine has to do with you? Have you slept with her? If the answer is yes, then the next conversation can end. No one knows her and her power better than me when a man falls into her It''s absolutely impossible to get out of the desire trap, "Miles hinted meaningfully.


    "Who do you think I am? A beast dominated by low-level desires? No, I assure you, our relationship can only be regarded as taking what we need and using each other."


    After that, Zhang Cheng stepped to the window and enjoyed a stone statue placed among many plants.


    Ordinary people may think this is just an ordinary art and sculpture, but he feels a strong magic wave. In other words, this statue is an extremely powerful magic object
