Chapter 127 High Intelligence

The King of Gold Nuggets and the strategist looked at each other, and they both knew what the other was thinking.

Something was wrong.

They were here researching the origin and history of these three evil techniques, and someone outside was shouting the names of the techniques!

And it was a child!

The first thought both of them had was that they had been targeted!

The other party knew they were there, and deliberately shouted at their door to let them know, "I'm right here, near you."

Wasn't that scary? Very scary!

And it was a child shouting for them to hear, it was a form of intimidation!

The strategist and the King of Gold Nuggets had been traveling the world for many years, they knew this was a form of deterrence, a form of demonstration.

Both of them used their true energy, ready to fight at any moment.

The strategist walked to the door and slowly opened it.

There was no one at the door anymore.

He walked out and saw a family of three walking down the corridor.

The King of Gold Nuggets narrowed his eyes, "Strategist, looking at their steps, these three don't seem like they know martial arts."

The strategist shook his head, "Don't underestimate them, since they know we are here, they wouldn't fight unprepared. Let's see where they're going."

"Okay."

They followed them to a room, the strategist nodded to the King of Gold Nuggets, and the King of Gold Nuggets pressed the doorbell.

The door opened, and a man stood inside, "Who are you looking for?"

The strategist clasped his fists and bowed, "This one is from the Snow City Branch of the Great Organization..."

"I'm not buying anything, nothing."

Bang!

The door closed.

The King of Gold Nuggets was furious.

"Break in!"

"Don't be foolish!" The strategist said, "If they dare to set up an ambush, they are not afraid of you! It seems that Hun Tian Gang is not fighting alone, they also have a team behind them. Are they a sect, or an organization? Are they a family, or a team? How many people do they have, how many rooms have they booked nearby, how many weapons do they have... Do you know? Do you understand?"

The King of Gold Nuggets lowered his head, he knew that he and the strategist were in danger.

The other party dared to shout their name, which meant that they had already arranged everything.

They were under the other party's control.

At this moment, even with their high martial arts skills, they would feel a sense of fear and helplessness.

The strategist was about to signal to press the doorbell againso when he heard a voice from afar.

Both of them quickly ducked and hid in the shadows.

"Mr. Lu, is this okay?" Jiang Shihan said coquettishly.

Lu Chengwen put his arms around Jiang Shihan, one hand wandering on her buttocks, "I won't invest in movies, no matter what business I do! On Sundays, movie theaters are empty!"

"Oh, Mr. Lu, we still have work to do!"

"Work? What work?" Lu Chengwen laughed mischievously, "Take good care of Mr. Lu, make Mr. Lu feel relaxed, happy, and joyful, that's your work."

"Mr. Lu, you always bully me!"

"I like bullying you, do you like being bullied by me?"

Jiang Shihan blushed, "I like it."

"Hahaha! We're here, where's the room card?"

"Here."

As soon as the door opened, Lu Chengwen rushed into the room with Jiang Shihan, causing Jiang Shihan to scream in surprise.

The strategist and the Ki ng of Gold Nuggets slowly walked out of the shadows, their brows furrowed tightly, and their faces were extremely gloomy.

"Why is Lu Chengwen here?!" The King of Gold Nuggets asked.

The strategist raised his hand to stop him, looking around.

"Things have gotten complicated."

"How so?"

"Lu Chengwen is trying to intimidate us."

"Could it be that he's in cahoots with Hun Tian Gang? They're an organization, or maybe a sect?"

"It's possible!"

The strategist took a deep breath, "We were careless."

He rubbed his chin, "If that family of three, Lu Chengwen, and Hun Tian Gang are involved, and there are many more masters here that we don't know about, then we are in danger. This means that all along, our enemy hasn't been just Lu Chengwen, but... a mysterious organization that we don't know about. It could be even more mysterious than our Great Organization."

The King of Gold Nuggets' sweat soaked through his chest and back. He gritted his teeth, "Strategist, let's fight our way out!"

The strategist shook his head, "It's too late. Lu Chengwen has appeared, which means they have already prepared. Ha."

The strategist chuckled wryly, "I never thought that after all my careful planning, I would end up surrounded by them."

"We can't just wait here to die, can we?"

The strategist clenched his fist, "Let's talk. Talk, and everything will be solved."

"Talk to who?"

The strategist took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell of the family of three again.

The door opened, and the man was now shirtless, his hair wet and he was wiping it with a towel.

"Why are you two here again?" The man said impatiently, "What do you want? Have you had enough of life?"

The two men were startled, were they about to attack?

The strategist quickly put on a smile, "No, no, no, we just want to talk to you."

The man was furious, "Are you crazy? What do I have to talk to you about? Do I know you? Do you know me? Nobody knows anyone, why talk? Get out! Go talk to whoever you know! Damn it! I'm telling you, if you knock on my door again, I'll kill you both! I can kill you both in this hotel like it's nothing, do you believe me?"

The strategist quickly said, "Oh, yes, we believe you, we believe you."

"Get lost!"

Bang!

The King of Gold Nuggets was breathing heavily, "Strategist, what should we do? The other party is too tough."

The strategist said, "Haven't you understood? What they're trying to say is for us to talk to Lu Chengwen."

"Talk to him?"

The strategist chuckled wryly, "They clearly said we should talk to whoever we know. In this building, who do we know?"

"Lu... Lu Chengwen?"

"They also said not to knock on the door again, or they'd kill us. They've surrounded us, why don't they attack? Do you understand?"

The King of Gold Nuggets shook his head.

A trace of sadness flashed in the strategist's eyes, "Because we took Lu Chengwen's money."

He sighed, "Now I finally understand why the three Kings of Nuggets all betrayed. I said it couldn't be that simple. It seems they saw a bigger, scarier, and more irresistible force, so they willingly jumped ship. Lu Chengwen is just a nail in this force's urban plan."

"What do we do now?"

"Knock on the door."

"Knock on whose door?"

The strategist chuckled wryly, "Whoever you know, knock on their door."

"Oh."

The King of Gold Nuggets walked to Lu Chengwen's room and pressed the doorbell.

There was no response from inside. The two men concentrated their true energy, listened carefully, and heard the sound of splashing water and Jiang Shihan's giggling.

Although they couldn't hear clearly, they could tell that the two were enjoying a romantic bath.

After a long wait, they finally heard Lu Chengwen's voice fighting with a woman in the living room. They quickly pressed the doorbell again.

Lu Chengwen shouted from behind the door, "Who is it?"

The strategist gave the King of Gold Nuggets a look, and the King of Gold Nuggets whispered, "The King of Gold Nuggets, the strategist, is here to pay a visit to Mr. Lu."

"Who!?"

"The King of Gold Nuggets, the strategist, here to pay a visit to Mr. Lu."

Lu Chengwen walked over and pulled open the door. Seeing the King of Gold Nuggets and the strategist standing at his door, his mind went blank.

Lu Chengwen was also stunned.

How did these two come back?

Didn't he send them off to find their master? What does it mean that they're back at his door?

Lu Chengwen was a bit nervous, but he tried to suppress his panic.

"Oh? The King of Gold Nuggets? The strategist? What a coincidence?"

The two men looked at Lu Chengwen's smile, and it seemed strange and mysterious.

"Ah... hehe." The strategist said awkwardly, "It just so happens that we are staying at the same hotel, and we wanted to have a long chat with Mr. Lu. We didn't get to finish, and knowing that Mr. Lu was resting here, we came to say hello."

Lu Chengwen cursed inwardly:

["Damn it, if you want money, just say it! Don't pretend to be saying hello! If I don't die in this round, when I've learned the Great Saint Subduing Tiger Fist, I'm going to beat you two to death!"]

He smiled and said, "Oh, please come in."

"Oh, okay, okay."

After Lu Chengwen went inside, he felt something was wrong.

The two men's demeanor was completely different from before.

Especially the King of Gold Nuggets, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he was giving Lu Chengwen a forced smile like he was flattering him, yet also showing gentleness.

The strategist's arrogance and confidence in his eyes had also disappeared, replaced by an absolutely sincere, relaxed smile and clear eyes.

What was going on with these two guys?

I snuck out to play with my secretary, and these two guys are still watching me!

The Great Organization really knows its stuff.

Lu Chengwen said awkwardly, "Shihan, guests have arrived. Go get a good bottle of wine. The strategist and I will have a drink."

"Yes."

Jiang Shihan was busy putting on her clothes inside when she heard the knock at the door. Now she was dressed and immediately went out.

"Have a seat."

Lu Chengwen and the strategist sat down. The King of Gold Nuggets didn't dare to sit, he just stood behind the strategist, politely smiling at Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen narrowed his eyes.

Something was wrong!

Wasn't this guy always so arrogant?

I stole his sworn brother to my side, he should have been furious. If the strategist hadn't wanted to squeeze money out of me, he would have already killed me.

Why is he so meek and mild today?

Lu Chengwen knew something was wrong, but he didn't know what.

Lu Chengwen was a master of improvisation, and he acted very naturally at this moment. "Mr. Strategist, are you comfortable staying here?"

It was casual small talk, but to the strategist and the King of Gold Nuggets, every word was a trap.

The subtext was: I've known you were staying here. I know all your actions.

The subtext was also: I want you to be comfortable, you can be comfortable. I don't want you to be comfortable, you definitely won't be comfortable. You'll also lose your life.

The strategist smiled, "Thanks to Mr. Lu's care, it's pretty good."

"Oh, that's good," Lu Chengwen said, "Why don't I change your room for you? Change to a... luxurious, more comfortable one, how about that? I'll pay for it."

The strategist and the King of Gold Nuggets were even more nervous.

Change rooms? What does that mean?

More luxurious? More comfortable? The morgue? Or the underworld?

"No, no, no need, this is good enough. We're satisfied with things as they are."

"Oh," Lu Chengwen still couldn't figure out what was wrong with these two, he could only nod, "Alright, the most important thing is to be satisfied. Actually, where you live isn't important. My house has millions of rooms, but you only need three feet of space to sleep. No matter how big a house is, it's just a temporary residence. The small box is our eternal home!"

The King of Gold Nuggets was about to cry.

The strategist was also depressed.

Lu Chengwen was throwing out bombs one after another!

This was a threat!

The strategist bit his lip, "Mr. Lu, our brothers have been disrespectful before. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against us."

"Hey!" Lu Chengwen said, "That's nothing. I'm just a small person, compared to you guys I'm just a fly. But some people are big shots, and we can't afford to mess with them."

Lu Chengwen was referring to Long Aotien.

But these two brothers understood perfectly.

It means I, Lu Chengwen, am just a pawn, the forces behind me are the big boss.

The strategist quickly said, "But if you want to walk in Snow City, settle down, and live a good life, you have to ask Mr. Lu for directions and pay your respects!"

Lu Chengwen heard something between the lines, but he couldn't figure out what it meant.

He could only be stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter.

The two brothers thought Lu Chengwen understood, and they also laughed along.

At this moment, Jiang Shihan walked in and poured wine for the two men.

Lu Chengwen held his wine glass and thought:

["This isn't going to work. Will one of these two suddenly rush over and kill me? No, I'll... give them more?"]

["Money is no problem, as long as I can survive, nothing else matters."]

Lu Chengwen said, "Alright, let's talk about something serious."

"Okay, okay," the strategist quickly said, "That's great."

Lu Chengwen smiled, "I know why you knocked on my door."

"Oh?"

Lu Chengwen smiled, "For money, right?"

The strategist's face became a little awkward, "Ah... yes, yes, yes."

Lu Chengwen said, "Well, fifty billion isn't enough to spend, right?"

The strategist sighed, took out the bank card from his pocket, put it on the table, and gently pushed it towards Lu Chengwen, "Fifty billion, returned to you. Please have mercy, Mr. Lu."

Lu Chengwen's expression froze.

["What's going on!?"]
