Chapter 285 Where Did The Dagger Go (2/2)

Hearing the second half of his sentence, Farhad shuddered. ”The dagger must be with that Chinese chap. Find him, find the dagger!”

The man snorted, ”Not necessarily. Farhad, let’s go and see Chief. We have no way of knowing whether you had actually put the dagger into storage!”

”You’re suspecting me? You’re suspecting me?!”

”I suspect everyone. Let’s go—go see Chief!”

Farhad mumbled to himself and then said, ”Don’t panic, my brother Wahab. My memory may be failing me, let’s search. I may have placed it somewhere else.”

The muscular man glared at him solemnly. ”Allah above, don’t you try anything funny, or else I will make you wish you were dead!”

”Of course I won’t try anything funny,” Farhad smiled and then turned to his nephew, ”Go, chase the people outside away. Let’s move everything out.”

People started to enter the unit to move the items out, and once everyone had entered, Farhad suddenly dashed out. He pulled down the shutters and then quickly locked it.

The people inside started to shout: ”Farhad, what’re you doing?”

”You should go to hell, you villain. You dead donkey, it was you who stole the dagger!”

”You’re dead meat, you jerk, I swear to Allah you’re dead meat!”

Outside the unit, Azzam and Zamal were both motionless. ”Uncle, what’re you doing? Are you nuts?”

Farhad said in a panic, ”Start the car, quick go, we’re leaving Kingman.”

”Did you really take the dagger?” the young man Zamal looked thrilled.

Farhad snapped at him crossly, ”No, not sure who the heck stole it.”

”Then why are we doing this?”

”Because I can’t go see Chief. He wouldn’t believe me. Quick, let’s go first. Go find out who took the dagger and then get it back before going to see Chief! Quick, go!”

Farhad pushed both of them forcefully. As the two of them recalled how Chief could be overly suspicious and violent, they shivered and then made their escape in the car.

Having left earlier, Li Du and gang were already travelling further and further away on Route 66.

The exquisite dagger was in his bag. He reached out to grab the handle—even as he put his hand into the non-ventilated bag on such a hot day, his palm did not perspire and remained dry.

This dagger was truly a treasure; under such hot weather, the handle was still cool to the touch—it must have been made of quality materials.

But Li Du was no longer that pleased to have gotten the dagger. He felt that he might have caused his own misfortune. Since he was aware of the value of this dagger, its owner would have been even more aware of it.

The men could come after the dagger.

But given the current situation, Li Du could not bear to part with it.

He was not a saint, but a human with desires. This dagger was too exquisite and too valuable—he was willing to take the risk to keep it!

Hans could tell he was lost in his own thoughts. ”What is it, are you dissatisfied with how this auction went?”

Li Du quickly found an excuse, and sighed, ”I feel that it was not a wise thing to have taken the dagger away.”

Hans pursed his lips. ”But that was rightfully ours. Don’t worry, buddy. This is America—a lawful place. As long as we don’t break the law, no one can do anything to us!”

Li Du shook his head. ”It’s not that simple.”
