Xia Lei would try to turn around once in a while to watch the two Arabians in the back, secretly observing them He wasn’t worried that they would attack the half after they had left Jerusaleantuan sum for an independent armed force like them They needed thatto reach Gaza soon” The leader spoke

Xia Lei could obviously see the metal box on the metal rail Yet, he pretended to be confused “Huh? Where do I climb up?”

The two Arabs in the front whipped their head around, one of theainst the box rudely “This is just a cart Cliet in!”

“Oh, okay” Xia Lei hovered his arers cae box that he carefully cli him, Tsukino Kyoko and the rest did the sa sure they were settled, the leader pulled the lever on its electrical gear The an to move forward at approxi cart, one of the armed Arabian members inched closer to whisper into their leader’s ear While his voice was inaudible, there was a pair of discreet eyes that were studying his lips

“Sir, are we really going to let theet the money?”

The leader s to pay forty million USD for a et out, we’ll kidnap the on the other side I’m sure we can easily earn another few million USD from the Native American”

“What about everyone else other than hi me that? Kill everyone else We don’t need to keep them alive,” answered the leader with a harsh whisper

Thesilent after that

Xia Lei peeled his gaze away Abruptly, he gasped and exclaimed in Chinese “Oh shi+t! I left my safe in our hotel back in Jerusalem crap… There’s about one million USD inside and a diamond worth five million!”

The Chinese Zodiac Battle Team turned their heads to the source They understood what he was saying but no one could re a safe like that

“You can tell us which hotel it was” The leader sed his spit “I can have my men retrieve it for you”

“Really?” Xia Lei’s tone was convincingly surprised

“Of course But you must pay us half of it,” said the leader

Xia Lei chuckled “That’s not an issue Getting back at least three million USD doesn’t sound bad My room is on the top floor of Sheraton Hotel, rooe room It’s safe with a password The password is 908912 There’s also a limited edition Patek Phillipe watch inside It’sit back to me”

“On it” The Arabian leapt out of the cart Another quickly rushed to get out of thehis comrade out of the way in the process It was obvious that he wanted to leech some wealth off the mini operation

After they had left, the leader pulled the lever again The cart continued to move forward

The end of the tunnel felt so far away Their journey continued, illu the tunnel To sit in ametal box in such a tunnel was an experience It felt like a one way trip to gell

This display did not escape the leader in the back, but the ave no response After all, what the man had seen were two Native Americans It was natural to assume that they were romantically involved

The metal cart continued to zoom forward for a distance
