Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although he hadnโt acquired much significant intelligence, what Luo Feng had was sufficient for now. After all, the auction was primarily a contest of keen eyes and financial strength. If he could obtain the coveted items through peaceful means, Luo Feng had no desire to resort to excessive force.
Moreover, many affluent individuals were attending this event. If Luo Feng could make some useful acquaintancesโpeople who could introduce him to collectors willing to part with their treasuresโit would be highly beneficial for him.
Having gathered all the information he needed, Luo Feng headed home to rest. The auction was the next day, and he needed to be in top form. However, it seemed the people of Florida had other plans, unwilling to let him recharge his spirits.
That night, as Luo Feng was resting, he sensed odd noises emanating from outside his room. He chose not to take any action, lying on his bed pretending to sleep. The sound grew closer, and soon he heard a distinct clickโthe sound of his door being forced open.
Lying in the darkness, Luo Feng slowly opened his eyes and saw two figures tiptoeing into his room. Given their level of proficiency, they were not amateurs.
It made sense. The auction had stirred quite a buzz, and this hotel was the closest to the venue. Most guests here were out-of-towners here for the auction. Robbing this place once was probably more profitable than hitting ten other spots.
The two thieves moved stealthily, heading straight for Luo Fengโs luggage.
โFlorida is even more chaotic than Atlanta, โ Luo Feng mused, sitting up in bed and observing the duo. โIโve only been here less than a day, and Iโve already run into trouble twice.โ
Too engrossed in their burglary, the thieves remained oblivious to Luo Feng, who had been sitting up for a while. Finally, unable to contain himself any longer, Luo Feng stood and approached them.
โIdiots. You canโt even crack a simple safe. Move aside!โ
Shoving them aside, Luo Feng took his key and easily opened the locked box. Surprisingly, the thieves obediently stepped back, unable to recognize him in the dim light. Assuming he was a new recruit, they didnโt object.
Gawking at the opened safe, the thieves were astounded. โNot bad, kid. We sure picked the right guy for the job!โ
As they spoke, they moved to push Luo Feng aside, as if worried heโd claim their loot. Luo Feng, however, had other plans. fre ewebn ovel
โHalf of whatโs inside belongs to me, considering Iโm the one who opened it,โ he asserted.
Incensed, the thieves retorted, โYou think you can claim half? Without us bringing you here, you wouldnโt even have had this chance!โ
Luo Feng shot back, โSo what? Without me, you wouldnโt have gotten anything tonight. I deserve half!โ
Their tempers flared, and the two thieves grabbed Luo Fengโs collar, ready to throw punches. Dodging easily, Luo Feng kicked one into the wall; he bounced back and fell on the floor. ๐ฏ๐ง๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ค๐ฟ๐๐ก.๐๐ค๐
Fists flew, but Luo Feng easily dominated the tussle. Moreover, the thievesโ low intelligence led to many of their blows landing on each other rather than their intended target. Eventually, they were brawling among themselves, allowing Luo Feng to step back unnoticed.
When they were nearly exhausted, Luo Feng calmly walked over to the light switch and turned it on..
