"Things are like this, boss. Do you want to see him or not?"
After Afen's narration, Bai Qi understood the reason.
It turned out that Afen had contacted a buyer, an old noble who was not only very wealthy but also loved collecting all kinds of precious gems. After seeing the pictures of the gems for sale, he was very satisfied and offered a price more than double the market price. However, the other party had a condition: he had to meet the true owner of the gems and complete the transaction with cash and goods in hand, otherwise, there would be no deal.
"Holy Lord, do you want to meet him?"
There was no other way. If it were in the past, Wa Long would have made the decision himself. But this time, the situation was special. The special part was that the other party requested to meet the true owner of the gems, and the true owner of the gems was the Holy Lord.
Wa Long dared not make a decision without consulting, so he first reported to the Holy Lord. If the Holy Lord was willing, that would be best. Otherwise, they would have to find another buyer.
Upon hearing Afen's words, Bai Qi also became interested and felt a bit curious about this special buyer.
"Then let's meet him." Su Dan Novel Network
Hearing this, Wa Long quickly nodded and then, with a stern face, said to Afen, "You heard him. The Holy Lord has agreed. Since he wants to meet, let him come here."
Soon, Afen led a burly man into the office. Along with them came La Su, Zhou, and over a dozen other Black Hand gang thugs, partly to maintain order and partly to prevent the buyer from double-crossing them.
As the man entered, Bai Qi curiously observed him. He had a high nose bridge, healthy wheat-colored skin, and wore a lion-head vest made of animal hide, with a circle of fur resembling a lion's mane around the collar. Around his neck was a necklace made of animal teeth, and his eyes revealed a murderous aura and ambition.
The first impression upon seeing the man would involuntarily evoke fear. Meeting his gaze felt like confronting a lion.
The man looked at Wa Long and arrogantly said, "You are the owner of the gems, the boss of the Black Hand gang?"
Wa Long was quite angered by the man's arrogance. Just as he was about to speak, Bai Qi interrupted him.
Bai Qi stood up, walked past the desk, and said, "Although he is the boss of the Black Hand gang, I am the true owner of the gems. I am the Holy Lord."
The man was stunned. It wasn't that Bai Qi's aura scared him, but his brain couldn't quite process it. A mere kid, barely out of his teens, was audaciously claiming the gems as his own, and Wa Long seemed to be quite afraid of this kid.
"Hahahaha, the renowned Black Hand gang's boss is actually a kid behind the scenes? I originally intended to trade with you, but now, I've changed my mind. Eliminating all of you might be a better option."
Saying this, the man drew a short knife from his waist and prepared to attack.
"Go for him! Capture this overconfident bastard, break his limbs, and throw him into the river to feed the fish."
At this moment, Wa Long's face was blacker than the bottom of a pot. Both sides were disrespecting him. Although he couldn't deal with the Holy Lord, as the boss of the Black Hand gang, dealing with one person like you would be a piece of cake.
Things were developing too quickly for anyone to react. However, since the boss had ordered to break the opponent's limbs and feed him to the fish, what reason would a subordinate have to disobey?
The thugs in the room all took out their weapons – some with knives, some with clubs, and some with brass knuckles.
"Ganging up on me? Then let's see if you have the ability."
Facing the charging Black Hand gang thugs, the man remained unfazed. He dodged left and right, easily avoiding the swung swords and knives. Then, with a turn, he punched the nose bridge of the person behind him, knocking him to the ground and breaking his nose.
"A tough one, everyone, attack together!"
Seeing the man's ferocity, La Su shouted, and a group of people rushed forward, preparing to beat him with overwhelming force.
But fate was not on their side.
No matter how many people the Black Hand gang had, to the man, they were just a flock of sheep. How could a herd of sheep threaten a lion?
In less than fifteen minutes, all the Black Hand gang thugs were knocked to the ground.
"Stop!"
A roar interrupted the man's attack. Following the sound, Wa Long held a pistol and aimed it at him.
"Do you think that thing can threaten me?"
Facing the pistol, the man continued to provoke.
"We'll only know if we try."
With that, Wa Long pulled the trigger.
But the man's subsequent actions made Wa Long's jaw drop.
The man dodged to the left as if he had a cheat code, effortlessly avoiding the shot. Wa Long fired three more shots, and without exception, they were all easily dodged by the man.
Wa Long was genuinely scared now. These were bullets, and he could dodge them? Was he even human?
Speaking of non-human beings, Wa Long immediately thought of the one beside him. He quickly hid behind Bai Qi.
"Hahaha, the mighty Black Hand gang boss hiding behind a kid? I'd say you're not much of a boss at all."
Just as the man was charging forward to take Wa Long's head, his body suddenly sank, and he fell to the ground heavily. Then, he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, rendering him unable to move.
The man struggled to lift his head and saw Bai Qi walking towards him slowly.
"Not bad, not bad at all."
Bai Qi walked up to the man and gently waved his staff, sending the man flying five meters away, crashing hard against the wall.
The Dragon Head Staff had taken a lot of effort from Bai Qi to complete. It contained nine different magic spells, among which gravity, strength, and speed were like weakened talismans.
Bai Qi stomped his staff lightly on the ground.
Instantly, the office was enveloped in shadows, and several shadowy ninjas appeared, pinning the man down.
When the man looked up at Bai Qi again, he was trembling with fear.
Bai Qi, who was originally harmless, now exuded an extremely dangerous aura, something the man had never encountered even after countless life-and-death trials in Africa. His golden eyes were as terrifying as death itself.
Bai Qi walked in front of the man, his staff landing on the man's back.
Crack.
It seemed like a gentle tap, but it instantly snapped two of the man's ribs.
"Submit! Or die!"
At this moment, the man abandoned all his dignity and pride, his only thought being to survive.
"I choose to submit."
The shadow ninjas released their grip. The man stood up with difficulty, knelt before Bai Qi, and said, "Great Holy Lord, I, Kraven, will pledge all my loyalty to you."
"You said your name is Kraven? Kraven the Hunter?"
Hearing the man's name and looking at his attire, it was indeed the villain from Spider-Man, Kraven the Hunter.
He never expected that the famous Kraven the Hunter would be the buyer of the gems, disguised as some wealthy old noble. He probably intended to double-cross them from the start, but unfortunately, he had kicked a steel plate in Bai Qi.
