“Don’t worry about it. That Mike is nothing in front of me,” Luo Feng confidently stated.
After saying that, Luo Feng quickly found Eld, and the two of them headed for Mike’s house.
Luo Feng was aware that after the previous incident, Mike harbored murderous intentions towards him. It would be reckless to appear before Mike without caution.
On this occasion, Luo Feng disguised himself as Eld’s underling.
Using the pretext of reporting recent developments to Mike, Eld brought Luo Feng to the entrance of Mike’s house.
“Please announce our arrival. Let them know that Eld is here to report on the tasks previously assigned by Mr. Mike.”
Even when interacting with the servants of Mike’s residence, Eld displayed utmost respect.
The servant recognized Eld and, without hesitation, went inside to deliver the message.
Shortly after, the servant returned and led both Eld and Luo Feng to Mike.
“How have things been recently?” Mike asked, not even looking up from his computer where he was busy with some documents.
Quick to respond, Eld said, “Everything is as you instructed. All the orders from National Transport Logistics Company have been taken by us. However, because of this, everyone knows that our Prosperous Logistics offers services
at lower prices. This has led our old clients to demand the same low prices, making our business quite challenging now.”
Eld had long wanted to voice his grievances to Mike. Before, he lacked the confidence to do so. But with Luo Feng by his side now, he was prepared to confront Mike.
As expected, Mike was taken aback by Eld’s complaints.
He hadn’t anticipated such candid grievances from Eld.
“Don’t worry. Once this matter is settled, I’ll help stabilize your market. I, Mike, will never let those who work for me suffer losses,” Mike assured.
Though Eld didn’t believe Mike’s words, he didn’t challenge him outright. Instead, he mentioned, “The reason for our visit today is that a friend of mine wishes to meet you.”
Eld then stepped aside, allowing Luo Feng to come forward.
At first, Mike didn’t even bother to glance up. “Aren’t all your friends like you? What can they possibly want from meeting me?”
Although Mike had posed a question, Eld didn’t answer him. It was only after a while that Mike lifted his gaze, and upon recognizing Luo Feng, he was utterly stunned.
“Why is it you?!” Mike exclaimed. “Eld! What’s the meaning of this?!”
Alarmed, Mike jumped up from his chair. Eld, however, remained silent, positioning himself by the door, effectively blocking it.
Seeing this, Mike realized that Eld had probably aligned himself with Luo Feng. But what was their purpose for coming today?
A flurry of questions raced through his mind, but Mike soon regained his composure. Although he had once plotted against Luo Feng, he hadn’t succeeded, and Luo Feng had even managed to turn the tables. Thus, Luo Feng’s visit today wasn’t likely out of revenge.
If not for retaliation, then there must be another agenda.
Considering this, Mike settled back into his chair and, with a faint smile, looked up at Luo Feng, “Mr. Luo, what brings you here today?”
Mike’s rapid composure took Luo Feng by surprise. However, it made things easier, sparing them both unnecessary back-and-forths.
“As you might already know, I have a penchant for various antiques and artifacts. Whether it was the Sheep Head artifact from before or the batch of items I took from you last time, I’m quite fond of them. Today, my visit is driven by a similar intent,” Luo Feng explained.
Upon hearing this, Mike immediately realized Luo Feng was eyeing the items he’d recently acquired. While most of them weren’t particularly valuable, a few were quite unique. Moreover, the origins of these items were questionable; if Luo Feng took them, Mike wouldn’t even be able to report the theft.
“Listen, Luo Feng, I’ve already given you the Sheep Head artifact. I also didn’t pursue the matter of the items you took last time. Don’t push your luck!” Mike said, visibly irritated.
“I merely wish to make a fair trade with you. I’ve got the list of the items you’ve recently acquired, and there are a few I’m interested in. I’d like to purchase them from you,” Luo Feng proposed. “You’ve lost quite a bit of money due to the farm issue, haven’t you? This could be a chance to recover some of your losses. It’s a win-win for both of us.”
While Luo Feng’s proposal sounded reasonable, Mike hesitated due to their tumultuous past.
After some contemplation, Mike decided to play along, “Fine. If we can turn our animosity into friendship through this trade, then I’m not opposed.”
Standing up, Mike gestured towards the door, “Follow me. I’ll show you the treasures.. They’re bound to impress!”
