Chapter 1635: The News Spreads, The Black Market Moves
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At the same time, a piece of news spread quickly in the underground world of the Sun Never Sets Empire.
“The whereabouts of a team suspected to be from the Alliance of the Anti-Rich have been exposed. The famous painting ‘Dream’ by Picasso has appeared in the Horseshoe Brewery and Old Tom’s waste recycling station!”
“It happened a few minutes ago!”
“…”
Soon, the entire underground world of the Sun Never Sets Empire was in an uproar.
Countless large and small clubs, and gold diggers from all over the world, began to send people to the largest slum area in Fog City, the Horseshoe Brewery!
…
Devonshire Family.
On an extremely luxurious golf course, Hengsheng Devonshire was in a good mood as he watched a beautiful celebrity who had fun with him last night doing things to please him.
However, at this moment, a call came in at an untimely time.
Hengsheng Devonshire cursed silently. After picking up the call, his tone was particularly irritable. “I’ll give you ten seconds.”
“If you can’t give me a satisfactory reason, you can sleep with my beloved pet lion tonight.”
On the other end of the phone, his subordinate was extremely terrified, and hurriedly said, “Baron Hengsheng, a small team from the Alliance of the Anti-Rich has been exposed.”
“There’s news from the black market. It’s said that someone saw their tracks in the Horseshoe Brewery area of the nearby slums. They even saw them preparing to sell the painting, ‘Dream.’”
“‘Dream’ by Picasso? The treasure that is ranked tenth in the collection of the Jerry Burrows family?” Hengsheng Devonshire’s expression froze.
The person on the other end of the phone quickly replied, “Yes.”
“I’ve already found a channel to verify it. The authenticity of the news is extremely high!”
“Baron Hengsheng, should we interfere?”
Hengsheng Devonshire did not answer immediately. Instead, he lay lazily on the recliner and glanced at the female celebrity in front of him.
After the female celebrity had put on her clothes and left the golf course, he quickly said, “Since you can find out about this, the other three duke families must be able to find out as well.”
“However, these families are too afraid of being shameless. There’s a high chance that they won’t get involved.”
“Bring a team of elites and act according to the situation.”
On the other end of the phone, the person was very cautious. “Then, Baron, how should we control the scope of the operation?”
Hengsheng Devonshire replied without hesitation, “There are so many gold-digging organizations from all over the world, and the Funeral Organization will most likely get involved.”
“We’re all going to look for gold. You should follow the standards of others.”
“As long as you don’t go overboard and don’t use firearms, even if others know that you’re my people, they won’t have anything to say. If anything happens, I’ll be able to cover for you!”
“Understood!” The person on the other end of the phone immediately answered.
Hengsheng Devonshire gave a simple reminder. “If there’s any new information, let me know at any time.”
Then, he hung up.
He sat up and pondered for a moment. Then, he took out another phone and keyed in a number that wasn’t saved in his phone. He quickly typed a message and sent it over. “‘Dream’ by Picasso has appeared.”
“My people have started to move.”
After sending the message, he waited until the other party replied with a “1.” He then quickly deleted the message history and put his phone away.
Looking at the open golf course in front of him, his eyes darkened.
…
The Funeral Organization, the Mafia Family, in a building that looked like a church.
A middle-aged man in a black suit with his hair neatly combed was tasting the wine that he had treasured for many years.
A man in a gray suit and gold-rimmed glasses suddenly walked in.
“Leader, there’s news from the black market.”
“One of the ten most valuable items of the Jerry Burrows family, ‘Dream’ by Picasso, has appeared in the Horseshoe Brewery area in the slums.”
“Our brothers nearby have already locked down all the entrances and exits of that area. We can confirm that the item has not been transferred out yet.”
The middle-aged man immediately put down the wine and asked in a hoarse voice, “Has the news been confirmed?”
“Yes, we’ve confirmed it. Previously, we had a gold team that was in charge of tracking the members of the Alliance of the Anti-Rich. They said that the members were indeed chased into the Horseshoe Brewery and its surrounding areas. The appearance of the members of the Alliance of Anti-Rich in the Horseshoe Brewery is in line with their judgment.”
The man with gold-rimmed glasses quickly explained, “And the intelligence analysts in our organization have also analyzed it. The appearance of the members of the Alliance of the Anti-Rich in the Horseshoe Brewery is consistent with their analysis and judgment.”
“Almost all the well-informed teams in the underground world of the Sun Never Sets Empire, including the gold digger organizations from all over the world, have received the news and are gathering there.”
“The ‘Dream’ painting’s valuation is more than 500 million. Many people and teams might take the risk.”
The middle-aged man seemed to have understood the meaning behind the man’s words. After a moment of deliberation, he said, “Wasn’t there a gold team that was tracking ‘Dream?’”
“Tell the members of the gold team to rush over as soon as possible.”
“If anyone dares to stop us, we’ll show them the strength of our gold team.”
“Yes, sir!” The man with gold-rimmed glasses immediately bowed and was about to leave.
However, the middle-aged man stretched out his hand to stop him. He added, “The Devonshire Family has also gone over.”
“Try to avoid too much conflict with them.”
As he spoke, he waited until the man with gold-rimmed glasses expressed his understanding before signaling him to leave.
…
The man with gold-rimmed glasses walked out of the church-like building and took out his phone to convey the leader’s instructions.
Inside the Horseshoe Brewery slums, in front of Old Tom’s waste recycling station, Ye Feng also received a call from Samia.
“Boss, the black market of the Sun Never Sets Empire just sent out news that a precious item from the Jerry Burrows family, the ‘Dream’ by Picasso, has appeared in the slums of the Horseshoe Brewery.”
Ye Feng could not help but smile.
Samia clearly didn’t understand why he was laughing at this moment. She immediately asked, “Is there a problem with the information, Boss?”
“Why are you laughing?”
Ye Feng looked at the small alley in front of him, where a group of people were quickly moving towards him. He shook his head. “No problem.”
“Your information is very accurate.”
“I’m just laughing. Some people refuse to walk the path to heaven, but they insist on going to hell.”
