“The artifact you mentioned to me yesterday is fake, isn’t it?”
Luo Feng was direct, not bothering with pleasantries. Andy knew he was now entirely at a disadvantage, obligated to answer Luo Feng’s questions honestly.
“Yesterday, seeing all my men defeated by you, I thought of retreating quickly.
So, I made up a story about the artifact to lure you here,” Andy admitted.
“In reality, all the treasures I possess are stored in my warehouse. You’ve seen its contents. The most valuable items were taken by you.”
Andy’s expression was one of lament. So far, things hadn’t gone his way, while Luo Feng hadn’t suffered any consequences.
“Don’t get it twisted; I didn’t take the items from your warehouse.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuo Feng clarified, and though Andy was convinced it was Luo Feng’s doing, he could only nod in reluctant agreement.
“Yes, yes, of course, it wasn’t you. It must have been someone else who sneaked into our warehouse. I was wrong to blame you.”
Seeing Andy’s compliance, Luo Feng decided not to press him further. He had one last matter to address before leaving.
“You recognize this young lady, don’t you?”
Luo Feng pushed Luna forward. Andy clearly recognized her, having pursued her for a considerable amount of time.
“Yes, I recognize her. What would you like me to do?”
“I wouldn’t call it an order. Luna is my friend. I don’t want her to face any trouble, especially not from people in your organization.”
Given that Andy’s life was in Luo Feng’s hands, Andy couldn’t argue with any demands Luo Feng made.
“Of course, of course. We wouldn’t dare harm or harbor any ill intentions towards your friend. You can be assured of that.”
With that assurance, Luo Feng felt relieved and prepared to depart. His main goal was always the collection of antiques and artifacts that had ended up overseas. He had no interest in the power struggles of these organizations.
However, just as Luo Feng was about to leave, Andy called out to him.
“While I might not have any antiques left, our boss has a significant collection.
Since you love collecting artifacts, why don’t I introduce you to him?”
Andy’s sudden willingness to help caught Luo Feng off guard. Despite his submission, Luo Feng knew that someone involved in organized crime would never genuinely respect him.
So, what was Andy’s angle in introducing him to their boss and mentioning the precious artifacts?
“Are you trying to play some trick on me?”
Luo Feng asked suspiciously. Andy quickly shook his head.
“What tricks could I possibly play? You’ve seen my capabilities. Even if our boss doesn’t wish to negotiate, his forces are likely on par with mine. How could they pose a threat to you?”
Though Andy’s argument seemed logical, Luo Feng, erring on the side of caution, declined the offer.
“If your boss genuinely has valuable items to part with, let him contact me.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Luo Feng was about to leave, a commotion erupted outside, signaling another group’s approach.
Upon hearing the noise, Luo Feng immediately suspected Andy.
“What trick are you pulling now?”
Luo Feng demanded. Andy, still with a despondent look, replied, “What tricks can I pull off? You’ve seen what I’m capable of. I’d be thinking of escaping right now, not playing games.”
As the noise outside grew louder, Luo Feng turned to see a large group approaching. Leading them was a burly man in his forties. His demeanor alone suggested that he was far stronger than the regular thugs, and everyone followed him with respect.
Upon seeing this man, hope reignited in Andy’s eyes. This man was likely the boss of their organization.
Luo Feng sighed internally, realizing a significant confrontation was imminent. Still, he stood his ground, unwavering, waiting for the newcomers to address him first.
The leader approached Luo Feng, gave him a smile, then turned his gaze to
Andy, berating him loudly, “You ignorant fool! How dare you provoke Mr. Luo!” Suddenly, he bypassed Luo Feng and delivered a harsh kick to Andy’s stomach.
Everyone present was stunned.
Most had assumed he had come to rescue Andy, but it seemed he was siding with Luo Feng..
