“I remember now; you spoke with Charles at the auction!”
“And there was only one person in the entire box. I didn’t know who it was!” “It was definitely you; you’re the one who stole the Sheep Head from me!” Mike shouted, his past troubles surging back into her consciousness.
The moment he recognized Luo Feng, Mike realized that anyone capable of snatching the Sheep Head from her must be extremely affluent. Consequently, whatever he sought now must be an extraordinarily valuable artifact. “You must be mistaken. How could I possibly afford to compete with you for such an artifact?”
Luo Feng dismissed his claim with a smile. All his attention was on the box. He was intent on claiming the artifact from the Warring States period. “Are you still playing the fool? Guards! Capture him!”
Mike was primed for a showdown. Luo Feng knew that feigning ignorance would be futile.
Before the guards could mobilize, Luo Feng seized the box and sprinted away.
Upon seeing Luo Feng flee, Mike shouted at the top of his lungs.
“If I let you escape today, I, Mike, will never show my face in Atlanta again!”
The guards swiftly convened, their guns trained on Luo Feng. No matter his skills, Luo Feng was forced to halt at the sight of the firearms.
“Look here, Boss Mike, there’s no need to escalate matters this far, is there?” Luo Feng held onto the box firmly.
His concern wasn’t about losing the box. He feared that the artifact within might be damaged during the ensuing conflict, resulting in a significant loss.
“Hand over the Sheep Head, and perhaps I’ll let you go.”
Predictably, Mike was still obsessed with the Sheep Head.
“I’m afraid I can’t fulfill your wish. After all, I’ve already given away the Sheep
Head.”
“Heh, you expect me to believe that? You spent a fortune on such a significant artifact only to give it away? Do you take me for a toddler?”
Mike couldn’t bear to argue with Luo Feng any longer. With a wave of his hand, his men surged forward.
The gunmen stayed behind to maintain control over Luo Feng, while the others rushed forward, aiming to subdue him. It was a well-devised tactic.
As Luo Feng confronted them, he scrutinized the surrounding environment.
He quickly deduced that a direct escape from here was nearly impossible.
With so many guns aimed at him, even if he could shake off these men, he wouldn’t be able to outrun bullets.
So, his only path to freedom became apparent.
While wrestling with the guards, Luo Feng gradually moved towards Mike.
To lower their guard, Luo Feng feigned weakness, taking several punches in the process.
Under Luo Feng’s ruse, the guards let their guard down. Seizing the opportunity, Luo Feng dashed to Mike, grabbed him by the neck, and used him as a human shield.
“Everyone, drop your weapons and step back!”
Luo Feng commanded. The guards, seeing their boss captured, dared not act recklessly and awaited Mike’s orders.
“Are you all deaf? Drop your guns and step back!”
Despite his fury, Mike had no choice but to comply with Luo Feng’s orders.
Only after Mike spoke did the men reluctantly put down their weapons. Luo Feng then exited, keeping Mike as his shield.
Even when they reached the door, Luo Feng remained vigilant. He instructed the men to stay put while he turned a street corner, then forcefully pushed Mike back towards them.
Mike was livid after being released. He felt dizzy and was on the verge of fainting. However, he didn’t forget to command his men to pursue Luo Feng!
“What are you standing around for?! Chase him! I want him dead! I want him dead right now!”
Mike screamed hysterically. But by this time, Luo Feng had already vanished.
After Luo Feng departed, he returned to his hotel and carefully examined the artifact from the box.
The flask from the Warring States period might appear rusty, but the patina seemed to have formed recently.
If he entrusted it to Mr. Wu and had a technician inspect it, there should be no issue.
After packing up the flask, Luo Feng checked the time. It was nearly evening, so he hastily made his way to the toy wholesale market.
Jardins and the elderly lady were still waiting for Luo Feng.
The old lady appeared delighted. Even after a day had elapsed, she remained as thrilled as before.
“You’re finally back!”
The moment Jardins caught sight of Luo Feng, he was so elated she almost leaped up.
His return confirmed he wasn’t joking before!
“Come here, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
