V4C193 – Pearl (1/2)

“You should have understood what I want, right?” Ben Luther asked.

“That is impossible!” Jin Hongzhong directly denied Ben Luther’s demands, “Doing something like that is against the laws of the underworld!”

“Hehe, naturally, I will not do something like that!” Ben Luther said with a smile as if he had already expected Jin Hongzhong’s reply.

In any case, Ben Luther already had all the chips in his hand. He naturally didn’t want the Feiyan Gate as an enemy and it would be even better if they would become the subordinates of his Raytheon Gang, but Jin Hongzhong wasn’t like Little Gang who was still a bit inexperienced. He immediately pointed out that forcing Feiyan Gate to come under Raytheon Gang would be against the law of the underworld!

No matter what kind of profession one was from, be it the business world or the underworld, there were rules that had to be followed if one wanted to keep on remaining in their profession! If they broke the rules, they will end up as the target of massive criticism and scorn from the others!

The reason Ben Luther had been so tyrannical before Little Gang was because Little Gang had been only been in the underworld for a small time and didn’t understand the workings thoroughly. It was a completely different thing to be facing someone like Jin Hongzhong who had been in the underworld for quite some time!

Jin Hongzhong was a veteran in the underworld, so he immediately let Ben Luther know that his actions were against the laws that they followed! Naturally, if Ben Luther was willing, he could keep on using these tactics, but then, he will certainly be cast aside and alienated by the people of the underworld. Everyone will be wary of him, and if he is a bit careless, he might become the enemy of everyone!

One who doesn’t follow any rules is the enemy of all, after all. If he could deal with the Feiyan Gate today, wouldn’t he also plot against the others tomorrow? So instead of letting him find another opportunity, it would be normal for the other underworld organizations to join forces and get rid of him!

Ben Luther was also a shrewd man, there was no way he was actually going to do something stupid like that! There needs to be a reason for everything that one does! Though they already had a reason, and it was the Feiyan Gate that had intruded in their territory, it was still them who had framed the Feiyan Gate after all! If the matter was really pursued, the other organizations will certainly become their enemy!

Therefore, he could only give the Feiyan Gate an opportunity! An opportunity to try and turn the matters over! That is, Feiyan Gate will be given a chance to get the evidence back in return for doing something for them! So long as they did what they had to, the two gangs will have nothing to do with each other. But if they couldn’t do it, then no one would say anything behind their (Raytheon Gang) back. Even if the Feiyan Gate was then swallowed by them, no one will sympathize with them!

This was the law in the underworld. Ben Luther understood it, so did Jin Hongzhong, so the two men could reach a deal if they wanted!

“Alright then, speak what you want?” Jin Hongzhong said lightly.

“Great! You are indeed the leader of Feiyan Gate, it is very refreshing to deal with you!” Ben Luther said with a smile, “We are all from the same profession, so I won’t say anything unnecessary! Since we all use theft for our living, I will use theft as the challenge! Our Raytheon Gang recently got the biggest pearl in the world, it is 25 centimeters in diameter! You know as well, it isn’t easy to steal something like that, and it is a treasure that should be stored in the treasury with high security! This time, I will take that pearl out!”

“The biggest pearl? Oh, as far as I know, the biggest pearl in the world is only 23 cm?” Jin Hongzhong said without believing his word.

“Just because it is the biggest in the public doesn’t mean it is the biggest in the world. I don’t believe you think like that, considering the line of work we both are involved in!” Ben Luther said, “Not like you don’t have those bigger pearls, right?”

“Hehe, please continue,” Jin Hongzhong smiled without approving or disapproving his words. Jin Hongzhong indeed had many treasures that had not been made public. These things were for private collectors, not to be revealed to the public.

“Alright, to make a long story short, we will hold a contest of skill and compete!” Ben Luther said.
