After entering the VIP room, Jack's gaze fell on little bean and the middle-aged man, and he was slightly stunned. They stood together, their interaction filled with flattery and praise, as if comparing who had more influence and charm. The conversation was filled with admiration for connections, wealth, and appearance, as if they were both rare treasures.
Jack found the scene somewhat incredulous, little bean's expression revealing excitement and passion, while the middle-aged man's eyes hinted at deep contemplation. Their conversation seemed to have a deeper meaning, and Jack secretly speculated about their relationship.
In the corner of the room, a security guard stood, his impatience clearly visible. Another security guard walked over and quietly said to Jack, "Why are you just arriving now? You're twenty minutes late for the shift change!"
Jack instantly felt the guard's displeasure and hurriedly nodded, knowing that his oversight might have upset the guard. The guard slightly calmed his anger and then left the VIP room.
At this moment, only little bean, the middle-aged man, and Jack remained in the VIP room. Jack carefully surveyed the entire room, and on the table lay the dazzling Xu Zi-type handheld cannon, its striking appearance and radiance indicating its uniqueness. Jack was keenly aware of the value and importance of this weapon, as well as the complex and close relationship it had with the Black Shadow Company.
The middle-aged man looked around and suddenly smiled at little bean, saying, "This Xu Zi-type handheld cannon is truly a top-notch collectible, worthy of being the highlight of this auction."
little bean Full of smiles, he replied, "Of course, your taste has always been admirable to me, guest." The middle-aged man nodded proudly and continued, "This deal is definitely a great start for me."
Jack secretly paid attention to their conversation, as the middle-aged man seemed to be more than just an ordinary buyer. His words and actions exuded an extraordinary atmosphere, making it difficult to grasp his true identity. Jack quietly observed on the side, trying to find more clues from their conversation.
At this point, the middle-aged man began to show a strong curiosity about the source of the goods. He kept asking about little bean, wanting to know the relationship of these items with the border, whether it involved the Black Shadow Company, and how these goods were transported. His questions were full of inquiry, clearly indicating a deeper interest in the behind-the-scenes of the trade.
little bean obviously felt a bit dissatisfied with the middle-aged man's questions, but out of respect for the guest, she still circled around and answered. She chose to conceal some key details, seeming unwilling to reveal too much information in this setting. She responded in a relaxed and casual tone, but also downplayed the issue, making it difficult for the middle-aged man to get to the bottom of it.
"Guest, as you know, in our industry, we sometimes need to keep some business secrets," little bean said with a smile. "The source of the goods is also one of our trade secrets. However, I can assure you that we are always very cautious in this regard, ensuring that the quality and source of the goods are reliable."
The middle-aged man seemed somewhat dissatisfied with little bean's response. His brow furrowed slightly as he glanced at little bean and Jack, seemingly evaluating their sincerity. After a brief pause, he shifted the topic, "Well, it is indeed a clever strategy. Confidentiality in business is very important, I understand."
little bean smiled gently, "Our guests are truly knowledgeable. We also hope to engage in exchanges with fortunate guests in such an environment, sharing our treasures."
little bean At this point, she rubbed her hands together, smiled, and asked the middle-aged man, "Sir, for this amount, would you like to pay by card or in cash?"
The middle-aged man suddenly furrowed his brow, as if suddenly confused, and then asked little bean, "I just... how much did I open for?"
little bean's eyes flashed with a hint of unease, but she still answered with a smile, "30 million federal coins, of course, border shields are also acceptable. According to the exchange rate, that's 90 million border shields."
The middle-aged man suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the room, muttering to himself in a low voice, seemingly pondering something. His expression became somewhat serious, no longer the previous light-hearted and complacent demeanor.
At the same time, little bean continued to cast glances at Jack, as if hinting at something. However, Jack completely failed to understand little bean's implication, only feeling that his expression became strange, grimacing and making his already unattractive face even more disgusting.
Suddenly, the man stomped his foot forcefully, placed his hands on his lower back, and drew the surprise of the two present. His sudden movement caught both of them off guard, not knowing what he was going to do next.
The man walked slowly towards the little bean and, looking at it, said affectionately, "Boss..."
Then, the man took out a few Federal Reserve notes from his wallet and twisted them in his hand, as if contemplating the method of payment. His expression became somewhat conflicted, as if struggling to make a choice.
"I only have five hundred dollars, plus a few more dollars," the man said leisurely, "I don't think it's going to work if I pay in cash."
little bean responded somewhat displeased, "Sir, if you don't have cash, you can also use a credit card. But if you're just here to cause trouble, we don't welcome that."
A hint of sadness appeared on the man's face as he continued in a heavy tone, "My credit, it's already bankrupt! It seems I only have one way to pay."
little bean apparently lost patience and shouted loudly, "Security, get this trash out of here!"
Jack quickly remembered that he was a security guard and hurried over to prepare to lead the man away from the scene. However, the man suddenly strolled over to little bean, saying, "I'm going to pay, it's not like I won't pay," in a mocking tone. Suddenly, he took a quick step and swiftly pulled out a Proton gun, aiming it at little bean's deformed and twisted head.
The entire VIP room fell into a fearful silence, the atmosphere so tense that it was suffocating. Jack was shocked and quickly moved in front of the man and little bean, gripping his weapon tightly, ready to respond to any possible situation.
little bean The corner of his mouth twitched, anger filling his face, but he still tried to stay calm, saying in a trembling voice, "What do you want? Kill me, and then think you can escape everything?"
