Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 262
Chapter 262: Going to the Black Market
When Xu Cheng tossed the big and small bags onto Bei Shan’s pickup truck, Bei Shan’s eyelids jumped. “Holy f-ck, careful! These are all priceless!”
Xu Cheng snorted, “These are priceless treasures to you but just a pile of copper and iron to me. Hurry up and drive.”
Bei Shan started the car and drove off as he laughed. “Yo man, holy crap, I didn’t know you were this good… How did you sneak your way up there?”
Xu Cheng rolled his eyes at him. “Sneak? How humiliating would that be? I killed my way up, taking out 28 bodyguards. The elite that was on the Sky Ranking or whatever, to be honest, he was strong, but he was way too slow, and he couldn’t even take a hit. But I did underestimate his brawler’s gloves though.”
Xu Cheng said as he took them out. The spikes on there were all reinforced with diamonds.
“It’s probably worth some money too.”
Bei Shan rolled his eyes at him. “You didn’t even leave this behind?”
Xu Cheng bitterly laughed. “I’m really too poor right now. If I can, I would even get you to sell your azz.”
Bei Shan: “Other than those artifacts that belong to our country, you can do whatever you want with the rest of them. Do you want me to drive you to the black market or something?”
Xu Cheng nodded. “No rush, I want to do something first.”
Bei Shan: “What’s up?”
Xu Cheng: “You know the personal residence of the Third Prince of Great Britain?”
Bei Shan: “Of course.”
Xu Cheng: “Then let’s just drive this car over there.”
Bei Shan: “What do you want to do? Beat him up or kill him?”
Xu Cheng shook his head. “This car’s probably already exposed by the traffic cameras. Later, when the Franka Corporation investigates this and ends up finding your car, I want them to go directly to the Third Prince.”
Bei Shan: “Is that Third Prince your love rival or something?”
Xu Cheng: “He’s not worthy. But I did indeed bully him quite a lot when we were young, and now that he’s grown up and in power, he wants to play with me. I’m thinking about screwing him over first.”
Bei Shan: “Oh by the way, I spent about 10 thousand pounds to get this car.”
Xu Cheng: “Don’t talk about money with me. If it was any other day, I would’ve drowned you in money already.”
Bei Shan: “Come on, drown me. Just drown me already.”
Xu Cheng: “If you have the balls, come to Las Vegas with me. I will drown you there.”
Bei Shan still didn’t know about Xu Cheng’s gambling skills. Unlike Xu Cheng, who treated money like dirt, to most people in the Dragon Division, money was something they couldn’t live without. Just look at how the retired lieutenant colonel of the 5th Division was still working for capitalists after he retired. It was conceivable that even for a skilled soldier king like him, he still had to be enslaved by money.
“You think Las Vegas is run by you? Drown me with money there? Humph! If you can’t, then you are my b-tch!” Bei Shan swore.
The two just bickered like an old couple, and the car’s tracks were deliberately exposed under traffic cameras as they headed towards the Third Prince’s manor.
After the Franka Corporation’s CEO, Terry, got a phone call at a banquet held at a giant manor in London, his face instantly turned pale as he rushed directly for the parking lot. Over there, his bodyguard opened the door for him and sat in with him. Terry’s face sunk. “Did they catch the thief?”
Both the bodyguard and assistant shook their heads. “He got away.”
Terry: “What’s the situation over there?”
The assistant paused for a moment before replying, “All the guards on shift tonight are dead.”
“All dead? Including Charles?”
The assistant nodded. “He’s also dead.”
Terry anxiously asked, “Then what about the artifacts? The door won’t open without my fingerprint, iris, and voice! That’s a safe that can withstand explosions!”
The assistant lowered his head and said, “All stolen…”
Terry slammed his fist on the seat, “Is this stealing? This is basically a robbery! Could it have been done by an army or something? Or else who can do such a thing?”
Assistant: “Right now the police have blocked off the crime scene. But according to their preliminary investigation, the thief didn’t leave behind anything. Right now we can only sort through the traffic footage around the company and search for any suspicious people or vehicles.”
Terry took off his reading glasses and mumbled to himself, “I f-cking spent so much on acquiring and protecting those things, yet it was still stolen! In one night, I lost at least 2 billion euros! Get them to give it a thorough investigation! 2 billion, that’s enough to buy the life of a country’s president! Go to the black market and search for me too! Tell them, whoever dares to take those artifacts are directly going against me!”
Lin Lei got Xu Cheng’s call in the middle of the night, telling him to prepare the family’s private jet. Lin Lei felt like his brother-in-law was about to stir sh-t up again, but he couldn’t sleep anyways so he might as well snuck out of his room. He then went to their private airport to meet up with Xu Cheng and Bei Shan.
On the plane, Bei Shan looked at Lin Lei and asked Xu Cheng, “Mexico’s black market is really chaotic, you sure you want to bring him?”
Lin Lei said, “Listen, I’m not a kid anymore. Sometimes, the black hearts of capitalists are a lot more terrifying than the black market.”
Xu Cheng: “It’s fine, just bring him. This brat’s used to following me around.”
– Mexico –
Due to the long border between M Nation and Mexico, illegal trading activities were very prominent, and the mafia and gang forces had deeply rooted themselves into this land. In Mexico, street violence, kidnapping, shooting police, and other crimes were all quite common, and it had severely affected the tourism economy and even international image of the country. There were six major gang families gathered here in Mexico, which all the crimes in this country revolves around.
This place was also home to the comprehensive black market of North America, without government jurisdictions, taxes, or legal restrictions. The moment your products were lost and stolen and ended up being somewhere here, unless your background was especially powerful, trying to get back your belongings would just be a waste of time.
At midnight, Bei Shan rented a car so broken that it could be sent to the junkyard tomorrow. Xu Cheng and Lin Lei couldn’t help but complain, “Can’t you f-cking get a better car?”
Bei Shan snorted. “If you don’t want trouble coming to look for us, then we should act as poor as possible. Kidnapping is the traditional game of the Mexican gangsters, and the amount of kidnappings happening here is ranked second in the world, only below Colombia. If you want to get a good car and we manage to drive through the streets without getting preyed on by those sensitive savage kidnappers, you can f-ck my azz however you want.”
Xu Cheng looked at the 10 pieces in the car. Taking away the three that belonged to Huaxia and the crown, he still had the 10 artifacts here. At this moment, Lin Lei snorted and said, “You really underestimate the level of enlightenment the bad guys here have reached. As long as it’s an unfamiliar car, they will rob you and kidnap you whenever they feel like it. You really think this sh-t box and ordinary clothing can cover up the handsome face of a noble like me?”
Right after he said that, indeed, in front of the pitted road came a group of people with guns directly pointed at them.
Bei Shan looked at them, then looked at Xu Cheng, then said, “This is why I didn’t really want you to bring him over.”
