Chapter 613: Being Choked by Capitalism
Just when Diana Henwick was about to go, Chen Ke was not idle in Langton City.
After the sun rose, Langton City entered a busy state. Standing on the roof of the British Library, you can see the roads connected by pedestrians and carriages, and the dense crowds of people were squirming like whole groups of workers.
This was the tranquil era before the two world wars of mankind. In terms of the history of this world, by 1910, countries should face up to their spiritual energy and establish a management bureau. But the change was not achieved overnight, but rather over the long span of time. Ingram led the wave of steam and machinery. Other countries might want to use their spiritual energy to overtake, right?
Weird things are happening in this country, and Queen Victoria is not ignoring it. The secret keepers are dealing with these things secretly so that the civilians can live in unconscious happiness.
However, as the lifeline of Ingram's economy, the big factory owner and the bourgeoisie must know these things. When a country is in trouble, the first one must be the capitalists. If you want to make a lot of money in a country, you must have a good relationship with the government. These wealthy masters will definitely get all the confidential information in the world as quickly as possible through different channels.
Jacob had no choice but to do something about Jack. All he could do was stay next to Jack so that he would not do stupid things.
"You should go and talk to Sean, I think he can certainly know something, these symbols... and... about women on the street with disgusting fetuses." Jacob suggested.
"Sean... the factory owner who is playing with wife swapping? He is still alive?" Chen Ke was a little surprised.
"Of course he lives... he lives well, and I even doubt whether these women on the street are bad or not. What kind of evil people have ever cursed his sperm." Jacob said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Little Jack shook his head and said, "That man rarely goes out now. Maybe he needs someone to serve him when he poops, so he may even be a problem with speaking."
Chen Ke remained silent. In 1859, Chen Ke had dealt with Jacob. He was much older than Jacob at that time, and in his 40s, he was in his 40s in his appearance.
Taking Longton's hygiene and medical level in the 19th century, and taking into account the impact of the world's psychic energy on people, Sean must be at least 70 years old.
"Why didn't you have this plan before?" Chen Ke asked.
"The relationship between the thieves and capitalists is not very good... and, isn't this seeing you coming?" Jacob laughed.
"Fake... I have a good relationship with him, have you forgotten? In 1859, I broke into his house with you..." Chen Ke said.
"I remember you, but look at you, 29 years have passed, you are still so young, I think he is willing to see you again just because of this." Jacob said.
"I don't doubt this... but if he is willing to answer the questions I asked because of this, that's another matter. And I don't want to be pestered by a big capitalist to seek immortality." Chen Ke spread his hands.
When anyone saw a person he had seen more than 20 years ago reappearing in front of him with a look that had almost never changed, would anyone subconsciously think of "Immortality"?
The richer you are, the longer you want to live, and you will take practical actions. In Chen Ke’s previous world, there were too many wealthy businessmen in his 90s, who didn’t look energetic like those of the seventies. Their huge amount of funds can keep their quality of life at a level that ordinary people cannot imagine.
But ordinary people are not good. Although everyone wants to live longer, ordinary people have to work hard, sell their labor and intelligence, don’t get regular life every day, and have to eat junk food and gutter oil. Over time, their bodies will be destroyed and full of holes. Not to mention that they are 90 years old, many people are in their early 40s and 50s, and they are in their mid-30s and start to get angry... and then they get cancer and will explain it in their lives.
When rich people reach their twilight years, they will start to establish various medical funds and invest in various medical research projects. In fact, in most cases, this money is wasted. The mentality of the rich people temporarily cramming is impossible to promote the development of human life expectancy projects, but this does not prevent the old rich people from constantly spending money to find ways to continue their lives. It feels like Qin Shihuang is seeking elixirs of immortality.
"I will try it, I hope he knows what is happening on the street and the meaning of this symbol." Chen Ke said.
He glanced at Little Jack and found that there was a look of worry in the eyes of the place, and he didn't seem to want Chen Ke and the others to figure out the whole story.
This also made Chen Ke believe in his judgment even more. What happened to Jack did not look like some coincidence of opportunity, but was more like asking for it.
This is the dawn of extraordinary times, with no shortage of madmen and speculators who sniff out strange forces.
Chen Ke opened the window and left the library. Little Jack, don’t be confused by the power. All the gifts that suddenly descended will definitely cost the snoopers the price. This spiritual energy will be fatal.

Sean's mansion was not far in front of him, and Chen Ke walked to the door openly and greeted the guard.
