Chapter 238 Take a Bite (Part 2)

As it turned out, this stranger was quite generous.

They said they would give 30,000 yuan, but it was actually more than 50,000 yuan.

With this great gain, Walter's frustration was greatly relieved, and his expression softened as a result.

Jesse was overjoyed.

Fifty thousand yuan! Even if it's split 50/50, he can still get more than twenty thousand.

This was a huge sum of money for someone like him who had always lived a life of leisure on the streets, enough for him to live a carefree and happy life for quite some time.

"Teacher, let's get started! The sooner we finish the job, the more secure we'll feel about the money. What if that guy comes back for a surprise attack?"

As Jesse spoke, he rubbed his hands together, already picturing himself with piles of cash, indulging in a nightclub.

Walter carefully tucked the money into his pocket; he dared not spend it carelessly.

He planned to use the money to ensure his family's future livelihood.

Walter wholeheartedly agreed with Jesse's concerns.

However, disposing of these two corpses is not so simple.

He was still seriously considering how to make it flawless.

Jesse over there had already taken action, taking two shovels out of the RV, keeping one for himself and handing the other to someone nearby.

Walter didn't take it; he just looked at his student with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

Jesse felt a little uneasy under the stare and said weakly.

"What's wrong? Did I do something wrong again?"

"You still know you did something wrong?"

Walter was furious.

He had no idea what Jesse was thinking.

He had just tricked someone else's brother into going to the police station, and then he shamelessly sought out others to cooperate with.

If it weren't for Jesse, none of these accidents would have happened today.

Of course, he also felt somewhat fortunate.

If that stranger hadn't appeared, the two of them lying on the ground now would very likely be the two of them.

Thinking about this, a thought gradually took root in his mind.

We can't continue working with this kid.

Otherwise, even if he wasn't caught by the police, he might very well have been tricked and killed by this kid first.

"Listen, kid, today is the last time we work together. After we clean up this mess, you go your way and I'll go mine."

"From now on, we'll keep to ourselves, understand?"

When he shared his thoughts, Jesse surprisingly agreed.

"I thought it would be my turn to say that, but I didn't expect you to bring it up first, teacher."

If we encounter such a terrible thing on our very first collaboration, who knows what will happen if we continue to work together?

Regardless of what Walter thought, he was definitely not going to do it.

However, they still need to collaborate one last time before completely breaking up.

Following Walter's instructions, Jesse laboriously lifted the two bodies into the RV and then used chemical reagents to clean the bloodstains on the ground.

After doing all that work, he was panting heavily and covered in sweat.

To be honest, he really didn't know why Walter wanted to scrap this project.

Why not just throw it in a ditch? There's no need for all this trouble.

If all else fails, we can find a small river and dump the body in cement.

Anyway, he saw that Italian mafia did this in gangster movies.

"madness!"

Walter retorted angrily.

"What do you know! What if someone happens to pass by here in the future? What will you do then?"

"Or what if the police investigate here based on clues? How would you explain that?"

"No matter what, we must clean up the scene thoroughly, and these two bodies must be completely eliminated!"

Walter understood.

That ruthless person dared to lay a hand on Xiao Ba and the others; killing them would be child's play for him.

If he were all alone, he wouldn't be afraid of being threatened, but unfortunately, he has a wife and children at home.

Moreover, that person had seen what he looked like and knew his name.

This is terrible.

This makes him afraid to take risks.

As for calling the police?

Walter never even considered it.

Let's not even talk about him not knowing the assassin's name.

Besides, how is he going to explain his presence at the scene?
Are you suggesting he confessed to murder because he was involved in a flour deal with Hachi?

Wouldn't this be creating unnecessary trouble and inviting problems upon ourselves?
Jane explained the situation to Jesse, and the two cleaned up the mess, leaving the crime scene to begin their plan to destroy the evidence.

However, Walter didn't realize that, without his notice, Jesse had already taken out the packet of high-purity drugs that he had previously "sold" to Hachi, secretly held it in his hand, and then put it in his pocket.

"Since Mr. Walter has quit, I should be able to stay secretly, right?"

Jesse's idea was simple.

Such a powerful product shouldn't be wasted.

Whether you use it yourself or sell it, it's better than throwing it away.

……

Walter and Jesse drove back to the city to complete the task Tommy had given them.

Tommy, on the other side, was also heading towards his destination.

I must say, New Mexico is a huge place.

Tommy flew for half a day but didn't see a single person.

No wonder.

New Mexico covers an area of ​​31.5 square kilometers and has a population of just 210 million.

On average, there are fewer than seven people per square kilometer.

In other countries, this would be unthinkable.

In this light, it was quite a coincidence that he was able to run into Walter and Jesse before.

Jesse is nothing special; he's just a nobody, about the same level as Xiao Ba.

Perhaps even worse than Xiao Ba.

This guy has a special talent for always managing to mess things up for no apparent reason.

His teacher, however, was somewhat valuable.

Walter came from humble beginnings, earned a master's degree from Caltech, had an excellent foundation in chemistry, and was awarded the Nobel Prize for his contributions to chemistry.

However, Tommy was not interested in recruiting that guy.

If he had met Walter a few years earlier when he was penniless, he might have tried to cooperate with Walter and get him to work for him.

But now he has a large family business, a successful career, and his Giant God Company is thriving, with a large number of elite soldiers under his command.

Let alone Walter, who only received a Nobel Prize for his contributions, even real Nobel laureates have quite a few.

Walter, who is quite capable but has obvious personality flaws, is not indispensable but rather dispensable.

It doesn't matter whether it's there or not.

Of course, Tommy would be happy to work for Walter if he was willing.

There's never too much talent.

That's why Tommy didn't just kill Walter outright, but instead took out tens of thousands of dollars in cash to make a good relationship with him.

As for whether Walter will come to work for him in the future, that depends on Walter himself.

Tommy would never force him.

However, it was fortunate that he had run into that guy before.

Otherwise, relying solely on himself, who knows how long it would take to find his way in this Gobi Desert.

Tommy continued flying south and soon spotted the town and a signboard standing outside it.

Welcome to Puente Antique!

"That's right, it's here."

Tommy nodded and plummeted from the sky, landing in a classic superhero pose.

"Hmm, it seems like something's missing."

Tommy checked his outfit for the day and then suddenly realized what was going on.

"That's right, we're still missing a cape." In battles between superpowered individuals, a cape is indeed not very useful.

On the contrary, it makes it easier for the enemy to find a weakness and throw it around and beat it back and forth.

However, this matter cannot be generalized.

The Superman next door is dressed perfectly fine.

Batman's is also good, and they've come up with a lot of fancy designs for the cape.

Of course, Superman wears a cape because he is strong enough to handle any unexpected situation.

Batman, on the other hand, is a different breed, with his cape equipped with an active removal function.

Tommy doesn't consider himself as unreasonable as Superman, but he can certainly learn from Batman.

Active dismantling devices are used to avoid potential dangers.

However, those are things to be done later.

He hasn't even designed his combat uniform yet, so how can he talk about installing a cape?
Forget about that, he hasn't even decided on his code name yet.

"That's a problem."

There are several ways to choose a hero's codename.

One reason is ability.

The one wearing the Iron Man suit is called Iron Man, and the one who can control magnetism is called Magneto.

Another reason is due to morphological characteristics.

Take Batman, for example, whose symbol is a bat.

Tommy doesn't really like animal-related code names.

After all, all the nice-sounding animal names have already been registered by someone else.

If he were named according to his abilities, "All-Round Hero" would seem more appropriate.

Because he can do a little bit of everything, but there's nothing he excels at.

Unfortunately, the account nickname has already been taken.

Tommy didn't want to repeat what others had said, so he decided to think about it later.

……

Puente Antique town.

The weather is just right.

It was the time of day when the sun was at its brightest.

Inside the Krusty Krab restaurant, customers are enjoying their delicious meal.

Yes.

There's also a Krusty Krab in New Mexico.

Thanks to its excellent product quality and effective media promotion, the Krabby Patty became a market favorite as soon as it was launched.

Over the course of a year, it expanded outwards from its core in New York, reaching almost all fifty states in the United States.

Fortunately, Tommy earned a lot of extra money; otherwise, even if the Krusty Krab had developed very well, it would have been difficult to expand to such a large scale.

Just then, Daisy and her companion walked into the hamburger shop.

Daisy told her companion to find a seat first, while she ordered at the counter.

"One double crab burger meal and one crab burger kids' meal."

"Oh, and don't forget to bring your toys!"

Daisy emphasized the second half of the sentence.

The receptionist glanced at her a few times, then looked down at her.

Such a magnificent scale doesn't seem like something a child could have.

But the waitress didn't say anything more.

The customer is God.

This is a work code that all Krusty Krab employees must memorize.

Therefore, even though Daisy ordered a children's meal that didn't suit her age or size, the waiter still served her one and, as requested, brought her the toy blind box that came with the meal.

"Are you serious, the Krusty Krab kids' meal?"

It's not appropriate to comment on the waitress.

But Jane Foster, Daisy's best friend and mentor, was anything but polite. She glanced meaningfully at Daisy's towering chest and said in an exaggeratedly drawn-out tone.

"Your child's 'nutrition' is way too excessive."

"What's wrong now?"

Daisy casually tore open the toy blind box packaging, took out a mini Plankton doll, and proudly shook it.

"Look, this is the last one. I've collected all the SpongeBob SquarePants figures. Aren't you jealous!"

"Ugh……"

Jane Foster shook her head.

They're all grown up, yet they act like little kids.

She didn't know how to say it.

However, she also knew why Daisy could be so carefree—it was because she had a wealthy boyfriend.

Although we don't know the specifics of their relationship, their "daily life" must be quite wonderful.

This can be clearly seen in Daisy.

Daisy has returned from New York several times in a radiant state, with skin in such good condition that it looks incredibly smooth and dewy.

She looked exceptionally radiant.

This made Jian very envious.

Looking at herself, she is still all alone.

However, Jane didn't care much about this.

In her heart, astrophysics is her best companion.

The problem is that her partner's personality isn't very good.

Ever since she last observed a strange astronomical phenomenon in the wild, she has been studying it in depth, hoping to discover the secrets hidden within.

Unfortunately, she made no discoveries and never observed a similar phenomenon again.

This made Jane very discouraged and she became somewhat dispirited.

It was precisely because of her unusual behavior that Daisy insisted on dragging her to the Krusty Krab restaurant for a meal.

According to Daisy, the burgers here have a magical power; just one bite can make you forget all your troubles and worries.

Jane didn't believe this advertising-like rhetoric.

From a scientific perspective, some foods can indeed help regulate or stabilize mood.

It's definitely not as magical as Daisy described.

Unless you add ice to the hamburger.

Honestly, Jane definitely wouldn't have come if Daisy hadn't said she was treating.

The burgers here are way too expensive.

A single meal package can cost hundreds of dollars.

What kind of people come here to spend money?
Jane would never come, no matter what.

She's so poor she has to hand-rub her lab equipment, how could she possibly have the spare money to eat such an expensive hamburger?

Of course, now that Daisy is treating, things are different.

At Daisy's strong recommendation, Jane took a skeptical bite of the hamburger.

"How is it? It tastes pretty good, right?"

Daisy asked with a smile.

She didn't need Jane to answer; just by looking at Jane's expression, she could tell what Jane was thinking.

"This is...this is absolutely delicious, so incredibly delicious!"

Perhaps she was too excited, because Jian repeated it several times.

"I can't believe I wasted so much time. I wish I could have tasted the Krabby Patty sooner!"

Jane now believes Daisy.

The Krabby Patty truly possesses an indescribable magic.

She devoured the entire double Krabby Patty in just a few bites, and even wanted to go to the counter to ask for another one.

This behavior stands in stark contrast to her previous firm denial.

But Daisy was no longer in the mood for jokes, because her eyes were filled with someone else.

"Tommy!"
