170: Special agencies

Hearing Lyon’s words, Kelly and Potter’s minds went blank.

The two panted heavily, taking a long time to regain their senses.

"You, who are you?"

Kelly asked cautiously, her face full of terror.

"I, I can kill Haishizi in Belgium, who do you think I am?"

"Foolish people shouldn't know too much, otherwise, it will bring them the disaster of death. If you really want to know my name, I can tell you."

Lyon crossed his legs, leaned back on the sofa relaxing, and said with a smile.

Kelly quickly shook her head: "No need, no need."

She knew she had encountered a ruthless person, someone who killed without batting an eye.

What if she found out his name and was silenced?

She was just a married woman; if the other party followed rules, that would be fine, but it seemed this person was not like that.

"Whatever your demands are, just say them, I will accept them all."

Kelly seemed to have lost her soul, collapsing onto the opposite sofa in resignation.

She was mentally distraught now, having no idea what to do.

She had no clue how to deal with these menacing fellows.

More crucially, all the intelligence about Haishizi had come from this person.

Kelly realized she only had one path.

Given the situation, she could only bow her head and use money to send these people away for now.

As for what to do later, that would depend on whether what they said was true and the strength of the other party before making further plans.

"We are not unreasonable people."

"I only want the things in your husband's collection room; we won't touch any other wealth. We get what we want, and you inherit Haishizi's assets. Isn't that a win-win situation?"

Lyon was not speaking carelessly; he was still acting very restrained.

He was not a fool and knew that the US was different from war-torn Belgium.

There were rules here; it was not a place where he could act recklessly.

Lyon came to the US this time to establish a good cooperative relationship with Qin Yun.

He wouldn't raid Haishizi’s home for the small benefits right in front of him.

He also understood that a Tycoon like Haishizi didn't keep much cash on hand.

The assets were all in various stocks and bonds; without legal procedures, this money couldn't reach his hands.

This was the most important reason he didn't silence them and seize Haishizi's fortune.

Qin Yun was quite satisfied with Lyon.

If Lyon were truly like those in Belgium, killing wantonly and without restraint in the US, Qin Yun would only find an opportunity to distance himself from this menace.

Since Lyon showed such intelligence, the cooperation between them might have a bright future.

"You really only want the things in Haishizi's collection room?"

Kelly wiped her flushed eyes and looked at these people in disbelief.

Considering her own property, she could no longer dwell on the grief of losing her husband.

It would be good if she could send these people away with the items from the collection room.

Although the collectibles inside were valuable, they were nothing compared to Haishizi's various assets.

"Of course, I keep my word. Only the things in the collection room."

"You should hurry up. You should know what kind of The Consortium Haishizi belonged to; they are lions that don't spit out bones. When they come to seize everything, you won't be able to hold onto the properties under Haishizi's name."

Lyon spoke with a smile, like a devil capable of bewitching people.

"Good, good, I will take you there right now!"

Kelly quickly stood up and walked toward the outside, eagerly leading the way.

When she reached the doorway, she seemed to remember something and turned back to give the maid and butler a cold look.

"If you want your wages and retirement funds, don't spread what happened today, or don't blame me for being impolite."

After sternly warning the servants, Kelly looked at Qin Yun and the others with a smile: "Please this way. Only Haishizi managed the collection room; I’ve only been there a few times, so I don't know what's inside now."

Everyone arrived at the backyard. Kelly opened the fifteen-centimeter-thick anti-theft steel door using fingerprint and facial recognition.

There were induction lights inside; as soon as someone entered, the dim collection room brightened up.

The entire collection room was cast from reinforced concrete and contained two rooms inside, one large and one small.

The larger room displayed over a dozen pieces of art.

The smaller room held a table and a chair, with a desk lamp on the table, seemingly a place for appreciating collections.

However, one wall on the inner side had hundreds of hidden compartments resembling drawers for storing Chinese medicine.

These hidden compartments were made of silver-white metal, looking somewhat out of place with the surrounding environment.

"This is Haishizi's collection room. You all look through it yourselves," Kelly said somewhat reluctantly as she looked at the dazzling collection.

This was Haishizi's lifetime collection; needless to say, these things were extremely valuable, but they no longer belonged to her.

"Pack everything up for me. If anything gets damaged..."

Lyon was about to order the soldiers to take everything away when Qin Yun stopped him.

"No need to rush. There's something strange about these things; let me examine them carefully first."

Qin Yun recognized several of the collections; they had appeared at large auctions recently.

He remembered that Haishizi hadn't bought them; how could they be here now?

Thinking of this, he immediately activated his Profound Vision Treasure Eye.

He found that most of the treasure light from these collections was green, with only one or two pieces being blue.

There were works by famous painters here, worth at least three or four million; how could they only emit such a treasure light?

"Most of these collections are fakes and don't have much value. They were probably used by the The Consortium or Haishizi for money laundering."

Qin Yun touched the canvas with his hand and found the paint and canvas were excessively new, so he made the judgment with certainty.

Everyone was stunned, not expecting Haishizi's collection room to be like this.

"You better explain this clearly, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Lyon glared at Kelly with fierce light in his eyes, threatening her coldly.

He hadn't expected Haishizi's people to trick him, and the hidden ferocity in his heart was instantly exposed.

Kelly's face turned pale, and she was so scared she retreated several steps.

She twisted her high heel and almost fell to the ground if she hadn't leaned against the wall.

"I, I didn't know it would be like this."

"Haishizi managed all the collectibles personally; we couldn't interfere at all. Oh, right, I heard Haishizi mention that his most precious collection was placed in the hidden compartments of that small room. But the entire front wall is a customized mechanism; it can only be retrieved by opening the preset compartment, otherwise, a self-destruct and alarm program will be activated."

Kelly tremblingly recounted what Haishizi had once boasted to her.

Her innocent eyes darted around, and she was about to cry.

She also didn't understand what was going on here, nor whether what Qin Yun said was true.

If they were indeed fakes, Kelly didn't know whether she should cry or laugh.

The displayed collections were fake, and the most precious ones were hidden within a mechanism.

These thugs wouldn't gain any benefit from her.

Would they become enraged and break their word?

Thinking of this, Kelly began to worry about her safety again.

Lyon was furious, pacing back and forth in the collection room.

"Damn it! Blow this place up for me!"

In a fit of rage, Lyon ordered the soldiers to blow up the collection room.

Since he couldn't have it, no one else should get it!

Qin Yun was contemplating what the collection item could be that such a wealthy Tycoon like Haishizi would set up such a grand defense.

Hearing Lyon order the destruction of the place, he quickly waved his hand to stop him.

"No need for the trouble, I have a way to get it out."
