117: surrendered too quickly

Qin Yun saw twenty or thirty men in black surrounding the car and stepped out without changing his expression.

The strong men in black took out weapons tucked into their waists, including steel knives and baseball bats, holding them in the air menacingly.

A shirtless, fat man walked to the front from the back with a beaming smile.

"Oh, isn't this the rising star of the treasure hunting world, the Eastern Kid? How did you end up in my hands?"

"I'll give you a chance. If you and your girlfriend get lost empty-handed, I won't lay a hand on you. Otherwise..."

The tattooed fat man scanned Qin Yun and Julia several times with interest, looking completely unrestrained.

Qin Yun sneered, "You're people sent by Walter? Is his courage getting smaller and smaller?"

He had learned about Walter's background from his friends.

Walter was Brother Wu Ying's boss and the boss of New York's East Side. He had made a big name for himself through fighting and had accumulated a relatively wealthy estate.

Seeing that Brother Wu Ying made money quite easily in Warehouse Auction, he began to have plans to go legit.

Relying on his years of understanding people's hearts and not caring about the quality of the warehouses—as long as he could launder the black money into white—it was fine.

Anyone who knew a thing or two about Walter's identity wouldn't want to make an enemy of an underworld boss for an uncertain warehouse.

Therefore, Walter had made quite a name for himself in the New York treasure hunting world.

But the subordinates of an underworld boss wouldn't have this kind of restraint.

Ronald must be pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Ronald knew the power of Bruno and the company's new general manager, Arnold, so he didn't dare to offend Qin Yun to the point of no return.

Yet he didn't want to give up the priceless caesars armor, which led to this clumsy scene.

The Tattooed strong man's expression changed, and the fat on his face quickly squeezed together into a fierce and malevolent look.

He took a steel knife from a lackey and hacked it hard onto the pickup truck's trunk.

The pickup was sturdier than he expected.

There was only a shallow mark on it, but the steel knife had a slight crack. The Tattooed strong man's hand was also vibrating uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Why so much nonsense? Hand over the caesars armor, or both of you will surely die here!"

After the Tattooed strong man spoke viciously, he waved to the brothers behind him.

A group of strong men in black waved their weapons and shouted loudly.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill them, and the treasure is ours!"

"Daring not to give our boss face, is this kid tired of living?"

...The Tattooed strong man stared at Qin Yun smugly, very satisfied with his lackeys' performance.

After seeing the sudden accident, Julia quickly took out her phone.

Finding that the phone had no signal, her face was filled with terror.

She was very worried that Qin Yun would encounter danger outside the car, but seeing his calm and composed manner, she felt less worried.

Julia was afraid of going out and causing trouble for Qin Yun, so she kept comforting herself: Qin Yun has good kung fu; he'll be fine.

Seeing the energetic performance of these thugs, Qin Yun almost laughed out loud.

Although these people looked fierce, their behavior was very restrained. Especially the Tattooed strong man; his performance was so over-the-top that it would have been more than enough for a movie.

"If you want the treasure, you'll have to step over my dead body!"

To go along with the other side's performance, Qin Yun put on an act of being ready to die.

Although he knew their plan, he didn't relax his vigilance; his Profound Vision Treasure Eye was ready at all times.

Qin Yun wasn't worried about this tattooed leader, but he was somewhat afraid of some brainless kids who might get angry and do something irrational.

"You, you, you're very good."

The Tattooed strong man looked at Qin Yun angrily, almost unable to speak.

After a moment, he turned to give orders to his lackeys.

"Go and grab it! Remember, don't use weapons."

The Tattooed strong man issued the order with a face full of confidence.

With so many of them and only Qin Yun on the other side, taking the stuff should be a simple matter.

"Are there really so many of you? Don't regret it later."

Qin Yun estimated that the time was about right and looked at the group with a smile.

The Tattooed strong man was stunned. What was going on?

Qin Yun was a top-tier smart person; he wouldn't do something foolish for no reason.

Was he relying on something else now, or was he just bluffing?

Thinking of the ten-million-dollar caesars armor, the Tattooed Big Man's eyes were filled with greed.

"Go! I'll take responsibility if anything happens!"

If there was an accident, at most he would run away with the armor. At this crossroads leading in all directions, it would be extremely difficult for an ordinary person to find a specific car.

The Tattooed Big Man's daydream was soon interrupted by the roar of car engines.

Over a dozen hummers appeared before everyone like tanks, in a crushing stance.

Then, over twenty bodyguards wearing camouflage and holding long guns got out of the cars.

Their fierce aura made them look like demons from a battlefield. Compared to them, the previously imposing gang of thugs didn't even qualify as a motley crew.

"Haha, Brother Qin Yun, I'm not too late, am I?"

"Daring to trouble my brother on New York turf? I think you all are tired of living!"

After a burst of hearty laughter, Arnold, dressed in white casual wear, walked over from the back.

The Tattooed strong man trembled all over, his shirt completely soaked in sweat.

It was truly a case of "what you fear most will happen." They had planned so thoroughly, using high-power signal jammers and choosing a remote location, yet they were still caught by a big shot like Arnold.

Looking at Qin Yun and the others, it seemed they had come prepared.

The thugs in black shirts were scared pale.

They were fine bullying ordinary people, but how could they be a match for these elite mercenaries?

They quickly dropped their weapons and stood obediently, not daring to make a single extra move.

"The timing is perfect. If you were a step later, you wouldn't be seeing your brother anymore."

Qin Yun stepped forward, shook hands with Arnold, and said half-jokingly.

"How could that be? Not to mention Brother Qin's skills, your luck alone is unmatched. Unless everyone on Earth dies, nothing will happen to you."

Arnold also responded to Qin Yun with a joke.

Having received Qin Yun's notice last night, he didn't believe anyone would still dare to cause trouble for Qin Yun over the caesars armor.

However, he still agreed. He didn't expect to soon discover on a satellite map that someone was following Qin Yun's car.

So he immediately brought the company's bodyguards to the rescue.

Arnold felt some regret, not expecting that a proper and reasonable move he made at the auction would bring so much trouble to Qin Yun.

Seeing these people still looking for trouble, likely at Ronald's instigation, a cold murderous intent flashed in his heart.

Did they really think he wouldn't act?

"Arrest everyone. If they reveal who's behind this, spare them; if not, let the police handle it."

With Arnold's command, the bodyguards used their rifle butts to pin all the thugs to the ground.

The thugs in black knelt obediently on the ground with their hands behind their heads.

Fearing a lesson from the bodyguards, they looked more submissive than law-abiding citizens.

Sweat dripped from the Tattooed Big Man's forehead, his face contorted, and his heart was filled with intense conflict.

He had a long criminal record; if he went to the police station, he would likely be sent straight to prison.

He also had no confidence that he could endure a police interrogation.

The Tattooed strong man suddenly slumped to the ground, then propped himself up with his hands and shouted in despair.

"I'll talk, I'll talk."

"I'm Walter's subordinate. I only did this on the orders of Walter and Ronald. I... I didn't want to do this either!"
