31: I'm furious! Monkey Three is going to lose the entire warehouse!

"Stop the ship immediately! Prepare for inspection!"

Xu Feng's cold voice echoed over the sea through the loudspeaker, carrying an undeniable authority.

On the blazing flame's deck, the atmosphere instantly solidified.

"Damn it!" Zhou Hai roared, flames erupting around him with a "boom," and he was about to rush out to confront the other party. "These sons of bitches! They're going too far!"

"Old Zhou!" Zhao Ze grabbed him, saying in a deep voice, "Don't be rash! This is still the Golden Triangle's territory. If we make a move, we'll be completely in the wrong!"

"Then what should we do? Just let them search? We have so many things on board, how do we explain?" Zhou Hai stomped his foot in anger.

Just as the two were arguing, Lu Sheng's calm voice rang out.

"Captain Zhou, Brother Zhao, don't panic."

He calmly walked to the ship's rail, facing Xu Feng, the Law Enforcement Team captain who had already boarded the blazing flame's deck, and Monkey Three, who followed behind him with a resentful and smug expression.

"Captain, it's them!" Monkey Three shrieked like a mad dog, pointing at Lu Sheng. "The goods must be on this kid! He has spatial abilities! He must have hidden the things!"

Xu Feng ignored Monkey Three's clamor. His keen, hawk-like eyes simply quietly observed Lu Sheng before him.

Young, calm, with eyes as deep as an abyss.

Facing the encirclement of more than a dozen assault boats and the pressure from himself, a Level 4 expert, he showed no sign of panic.

This kid is not simple.

"You are Lu Sheng?" Xu Feng slowly spoke, his voice low.

"That's me." Lu Sheng nodded, even with a polite smile on his face. "Captain, you say we stole supplies, do you have proof?"

"Proof?" Monkey Three cackled. "The diesel, medicine, and bullets that mysteriously disappeared from my warehouse are proof! Search! Search thoroughly!"

"A search, fine."

To everyone's surprise, Lu Sheng's calm voice rang out again.

He looked around, his gaze finally settling on Monkey Three's distorted face, a cold curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"However, I have a condition."

"If any of your stolen warehouse goods are found on my ship, The Fleet will accept any punishment, and all people on board, along with all their belongings, will be yours."

As his words fell, everyone was astonished!

Zhou Hai and Zhao Ze's faces turned pale.

"Little Lu! Are you crazy?!"

This gamble was too big!

Monkey Three was also stunned, then his eyes burst with ecstatic light! He couldn't believe his ears!

Is this kid stupid? How dare he gamble this with him?

"But..." Lu Sheng's voice changed, his gaze becoming extremely aggressive, like a hungry wolf ready to pounce. "What if nothing is found?"

He stared at Monkey Three, enunciating each word: "All the remaining items in your warehouse will belong to our Blazing Flame Fleet."

"Law Enforcement Team Captain, would you dare to be our witness?"

Boom!

This earth-shattering wager exploded in everyone's ears like a heavy bomb!

To bet all one's possessions on the remaining goods in a warehouse!

What madness! What confidence!

"I'll bet! I'll bet with you!" Monkey Three's mind was clouded by the huge profit. He firmly believed that so many supplies couldn't just disappear, they must be hidden in the most secret corner of the ship's cabin! Without thinking, he immediately roared in agreement, "Captain! Did you hear that! He said it himself!"

Xu Feng looked deeply at Lu Sheng... Sheng.

From this young man's eyes, he saw an absolute confidence capable of overturning everything.

Interesting.

He nodded, his voice carrying throughout the scene: "The rules of the Golden Triangle have always been fair. I will bear witness for you."

"Search!"

With Xu Feng's command, a dozen Law Enforcement Team members immediately swarmed onto the blazing flame and began a carpet search.

The captain's cabin, the crew's rest quarters, the storage room, even every corner of the engine room... Zhou Hai and Zhao Ze's hearts were in their throats.

Time, passed minute by minute.

Monkey Three's expression, from initial confidence, to doubt, then disbelief, and finally, turned to terror.

How could there be nothing?

Impossible!

Those diesel barrels were so big, how could they be hidden?

What about the medicine and bullets? Could they have just evaporated into thin air?!

Cold sweat began to bead on his forehead.

Finally, a Law Enforcement Team adjutant walked up to Xu Feng, saluted, and reported loudly: "Reporting, Captain! The entire ship has been searched, and no suspicious materials related to the report have been found!"

One sentence pronounced Monkey Three's death sentence.

"No... impossible..." Monkey Three's face was pale, his legs gave out, and he collapsed on the deck. He pointed at Lu Sheng, screaming incoherently, "It must be you! You hid the things on your person! Search him! Quickly search him!"

Xu Feng gave him a cold glance, his eyes looking at him like an idiot.

"Body search?" Lu Sheng's smile became playful. He voluntarily spread his arms. "Please do."

Two Law Enforcement Team members stepped forward and conducted a strict body search on him.

The result was obvious.

"It's over..." Monkey Three was utterly despairing, repeatedly muttering these two words.

Xu Feng walked up to him and announced expressionlessly: "A wager made is a wager paid."

He took out his walkie-talkie and gave a command in a cold voice.

"Target, Jinmao Tower, first floor, warehouse C-13. Seize all internal materials and transfer them all to the Blazing Flame Fleet's name. Execute immediately!"

"No! Don't! Captain! I was wrong! I'll never dare again!" Monkey Three hugged Xu Feng's thigh, crying heartbrokenly.

But Xu Feng just kicked him away in disgust, never looking at him again.

Amid countless gloating and awestruck gazes, the Law Enforcement Team drove their assault boats, escorting the terrified Monkey Three, and departed in a grand procession.

Not long after, several Law Enforcement Team transport boats arrived, 'compensating' The Blazing Flame Fleet with all the remaining supplies from Monkey Three's warehouse.

On the blazing flame fishing boat, thunderous cheers erupted!

Not only were they cleared of suspicion, but they also gained a large batch of supplies for free!

This was even faster than stealing!

In the distance, Xu Feng stood on an assault boat, watching the blazing flame sail away. He took out his walkie-talkie and dialed an encrypted channel.

"Golden Head, it's me."

"I found an interesting target, the Blazing Flame Fleet, a young man named Lu Sheng, suspected of possessing large-capacity spatial abilities. Just now, he used a gamble to swallow all of Monkey Three's assets without shedding a drop of blood."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie, then a dignified and deep voice came through.

"Understood."

Xu Feng put away his walkie-talkie and whispered to his adjutant beside him: "Classify the Blazing Flame Fleet, especially that Lu Sheng, as a Class A observation target."

...On the blazing flame, Zhou Hai excitedly hugged Lu Sheng, jumping and laughing like a 300-pound child.

Zhao Ze quietly counted the newly added supplies, calculating their voyage to the west and potential stopping points along the way, a never-before-seen relieved smile on his face.

Lu Sheng ignored their excitement.

He walked to the bow, facing the sea breeze, and slowly unfolded the hard-won map.

His finger traced past Modu, past areas covered in deep blue, finally landing heavily on a brand new name.

The sea breeze blew, making the map rustle.

"Next target," Lu Sheng's voice was clear and firm.

"Jinling City!"
