Chapter 719: A New Target

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the hotel room, even though the space was originally expansive, it seemed to have shrunk significantly after placing a Buddha statue inside. Luo Feng took a brief moment to inspect the statue, estimating it to be at least two thousand years old.

Such a priceless artifact, and they had handed it over to him so casually. This event left the Blake father and son duo, standing nearby, completely dumbfounded.

How could they have ever imagined that the arrogant Andy would present such a grand gift to someone, and in such a manner?

Now, they began to question Luo Feng’s identity. They felt even more grateful that their relationship with Luo Feng hadn’t soured previously. Otherwise, they probably wouldn’t even have the qualification to stand here and speak.

Andy recognized the Blake father and son as soon as he entered the room. However, he didn’t dare to address them. After all, he knew how much animosity they held against him.

It all stemmed from an incident in the past. Andy had deceived the younger brother of the elder Blake, convincing him of a lucrative antique business opportunity. Sadly, during the transportation of goods, an unexpected accident occurred, leading to the tragic death of the younger Blake.

This incident had always weighed heavily on the elder Blake’s heart, and he had confronted Andy multiple times because of it.

Even though Andy had managed to smooth things over every time, today, with the elder Blake now aligned with Luo Feng, if Luo Feng took the elder Blake’s side, Andy’s life might be in real danger.

“Andy, do you recognize me?” Elder Blake, unable to suppress the grief and anger within him, approached Andy and asked.

Andy’s face turned extremely pale, but he knew that evasion wasn’t a solution. “Of course, I recognize you. I’ve always regretted what happened back then. Your brother was innocent, and his death was truly an accident. As the leader, I failed to save him. I take responsibility for that. But I did make a lot of money for him, didn’t I? I never cheated him.

Desperately trying to defend himself, Andy’s words fell on deaf ears as far as the elder Blake was concerned.

“You dare to utter such words! My brother worked with you for two years and didn’t even make two hundred thousand. And you claim you never wronged him?”

Elder Blake, in a fit of rage, grabbed Andy by the collar, ready to strike. Andy hurriedly spoke up, “It truly was an accident back then. If we had tried to save him, none of us would have survived! And about the money, I was drowning in debt at the time. I had to use the money to repay my debts. I promised all my comrades that once I overcame these difficulties, I would pay back every penny I owed them.”

As Andy continued to argue his case, to elder Blake, his words sounded nothing more than deceitful lies.

“Do you think these words have any effect on me? Do you think I’m just a naive child who can be easily deceived by you?”

With a face livid with anger, the elder Blake threw a punch at Andy’s face, leaving Andy speechless.

Initially, when Andy had roped in help to deal with antiques, he truly believed in sharing both the hardships and the rewards. But as the profits grew, so did his lifestyle. Sharing more wealth with the others would inevitably affect his quality of life, so Andy began to string them along with false promises, making them work even harder for him.

After the death of elder Blake’s brother, Andy realized he could no longer continue this way and decided to join a gang.

The two continued to argue bitterly. Luo Feng, unsure of the truth as both sides seemed to have their own valid points, decided not to get involved. He asked a couple of men to transport the Buddha statue out of the hotel. As for the dispute between the elder Blake and Andy, he left it for them to resolve.

Even though Luo Feng owed a favor to the Blake father and son, they hadn’t explicitly asked for his assistance, so it was best to stay out of it.

The Buddha statue was quite massive, and transporting it was a bit conspicuous. Luo Feng, therefore, spent a significant sum to have the statue shipped to Atlanta with instructions to deliver it to Mr. Wu.

With things quiet in Florida for the time being, Luo Feng, having no other commitments, decided to explore the area. He also planned to use his system to scan the vicinity for any nearby antiques.

After settling down in his room, Luo Feng activated the scanning system. Soon, he noticed a red dot in the southwest direction. Although not very large, the dot indicated something valuable.

Just as Luo Feng was about to leave, Luna grabbed him.

“Where are you sneaking off to on your own? Why aren’t you taking me with you?”

“It’s nothing, just going out for a walk,” he replied..Nᴇw chapters are publɪshed on novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt
