Chapter 636 Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Smith, a white man in his 40s, and his wife, Ca.s.sia, were well-known thieves in the antique circle. Although they were ranked second, neither of them was convinced.
This was because as same as Great Cracker, they had never failed until now. There was no reason for them to be ranked behind Great Cracker.
It had to be said that the Smiths were very experienced in stealing cultural antiques. In fact, they had already come to the Li family’s villa, but they were not in a hurry to take action. They had been waiting outside for the opportunity.
In the end, they took advantage of a slip in Qin Haodong’s mind and took away all the paintings.
Originally, they were happy for their gains, but they didn’t expect that Qin Haodong would catch them so quickly. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes. They didn’t know where the flaw had appeared.
At this time, Mr. Smith’s expression changed. He said to Qin Haodong, “Did you tamper with these paintings?”
When they had just taken action, they had definitely been careful. The reason why they were caught so quickly must be that Qin Haodong had left a mark on the paintings.
Qin Haodong smiled and said, “This suit is not bad. Is it a high-tech product?”
Although he was talking to Donnie Randall just now, his Spirit had been covering the whole room. Generally speaking, there was no chance for someone to steal the paintings.
The Smiths must have something unique to be able to take away the paintings without alarming him. Now he found out that if he closed his eyes, his Spirit would not be able to feel the existence of the two people, and the problem would be on their clothes.
He was right. Although the Smiths were excellent thieves, they were far from the current level.
90% of their success was due to the clothes they were wearing. They were the latest high-tech products in Zone 51 of M Country. After wearing them, they could have strong defensive power and stealth capabilities to block radar detection. However, due to the cost of these clothes, they could not be widely used, so there were only two experimental products.
The Smiths had accidentally learned about this secret and stolen the two experimental products. Since then, they had become more and more famous, eventually becoming the top existences among the antique thieves.
Mr. Smith said, “You are indeed powerful, but you can’t stop us. Hurry up and get out of the way.”
Qin Haodong said, “Put down my paintings and hand over 1,000,000,000 yuan ransom for each of you. Then I can let you go.”
Although Ca.s.sia was in her 40s, she was still a charming woman. She said with a bright smile on her face, “Huaxia man, after you get out of the way, we promise that we won’t steal your things anymore.”
Qin Haodong replied with a smile, “If you don’t hand over the ransom of 2,000,000,000 yuan, you will have no future.”
Mr. Smith frowned and said, “So there’s no room for negotiation?”
Suddenly, he and Ca.s.sia moved together in tacit understanding. Mr. Smith rushed to Qin Haodong, and Ca.s.sia rushed to Nalan Wushuang.
Mr. Smith punched Qin Haodong in the face. He was not a warrior, but he had still polished his fighting skills. The gloves on his hands were high-tech products. They would strengthen people’s attack power a hundred times.
In the past, they had also met opponents, but all their bones had been shattered by his punch.
When facing his attack, Qin Haodong sneered and also punched.
With a bang, the two fists collided with each other. Mr. Smith was like a fly that had been fanned away. He flew backward rapidly.
His boxing gloves were indeed powerful, but unfortunately, his cultivation was too weak to be compared with Qin Haodong’s.
Moreover, he was not a warrior, so his bones couldn’t bear such huge force. When the two fists collided, his arm was almost shattered.
Before Mr. Smith could even land on the ground, he felt his neck tighten. A huge hand had already grabbed hold of his neck.
Qin Haodong said with a smile, “You’re pretty good to be able to take my punch.”
After that, he reached out and pulled out Mr. Smith’s boxing gloves, then his clothes.
In the blink of an eye, the number two antique thief in the world was stripped naked, with only a pair of underwear on his body.
On the other side, when the two women were fighting, Ca.s.sia raised her hand. With a click, a sleeve arrow was quickly shot to Nalan Wushuang’s chest.
This sleeve arrow was really fast. In the past, it could have threatened Nalan Wushuang, but now she was a supreme of the sixth level. This level of attack was like a child’s game for her. She reached out and grabbed the sleeve arrow in the palm of her hand.
Ca.s.sia was shocked, but she didn’t hesitate at all. She raised her leg and shot another arrow.
Nalan Wushuang shook her wrist and shot the arrow in her hand. The two arrows collided with each other and fell to the ground.
Ca.s.sia raised her hand and tore off the band of hair on her head. Then, with a sway of her head, countless silver needles shot out from her hair.
There were too many silver needles, hundreds of them. Nalan Wushuang couldn’t dodge them even if she wanted to.
Seeing that these silver needles finally landed on Nalan Wushuang’s body, Ca.s.sia released a sigh of relief. Then, her smile that had just blossomed froze on the spot.
Although the silver needles had hit her, Nalan Wushuang’s Body-Protection Genuine Qi was so strong that even an attack at this level could not shake her. All the needles fell to the ground.
“It’s my turn now.”
Nalan Wushuang showed no mercy at all. She lifted her leg and kicked Ca.s.sia to the ground. Then, she did the same thing and soon took off Ca.s.sia’s coat.
“Devil, let go of me! You can’t do this!”
Although Ca.s.sia desperately resisted, her strength could not make any waves in front of Nalan Wushuang. In the end, she was left with only a set of underwear and was placed next to Mr. Smith.
“Let us go and return these two sets of clothes to us. I can give you 2,000,000,000 yuan as ransom.”
Upon seeing that he had become a captive, Mr. Smith swallowed his pride and tried to negotiate with Qin Haodong.
“This suit is not bad. I’ll keep it.”
Naturally, he would not easily return a gimmick that could avoid the detection of the Spirit.
Qin Haodong smiled at him and said, “And you have no chance to pay ransom now.”
Sensing the killing intent in Qin Haodong’s smile, Mr. Smith suddenly became nervous and asked, “What do you mean?”
“The atmosphere just now was very friendly, so we could still negotiate. But now you have offended us, so we don’t want money, just your lives.”
Then the smile on Qin Haodong’s face disappeared, and a big golden sword appeared in the palm of his hand.
Mr. Smith’s face was suddenly full of horror. He did not think that Qin Haodong was joking with him. Given Qin Haodong’s skills, as long as he took action, he had no chance to beg for mercy.
He quickly said, “Please don’t do that! Let us go, and we can give you one of the bronze sculpted head of the 12 zodiac animals.”
Upon hearing the words “the bronze sculpted heads of the zodiac”, Qin Haodong’s mind moved, and he stored the Xuan Yuan Sword that was about to be released.
“You reacted very quickly. If you were a little late, my sword would have cut off your throat.” Qin Haodong squatted down and looked at Mr. Smith and said, “But if you lied to me, you will die!”
“I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t lie to you!”
Mr. Smith nodded in a hurry. Although he was a famous robber, he was not a fierce gangster, and his backbone was not so tough. After facing Qin Haodong’s killing intent, he had long become submissive.
“How did you get the bronze sculpted head?”
Mr. Smith said, “Five years ago, we snuck into the treasure vault of the rich Gompos and saw the ox bronze head sculpture. We knew that this is a good thing as the last bronze sculpted head of the 12 zodiac animals was just sold for tens of millions of yuan. Thus, we stole it.”
Qin Haodong asked, “Why haven’t you sold it after so many years?”
Mr. Smith said, “We originally wanted to do it, but later we found that Gompos’ power was terrifying. He had informed all the major auction houses worldwide. As long as we dared to go to an auction house, they would definitely catch us.
“But we can’t do that. Without the auction house, we can’t take action. So we have always kept this thing in our treasure house and have never taken it out.”
Hearing this, Qin Haodong had already believed most of it. He said, “Where is your treasure house? How long will it take to get it here?”
Mr. Smith said, “On a small island in Southeast Asia. As long as you let us go, I will send you the ox bronze head sculpture very quickly.”
“Let you go? Will you come back if I let you go?” Qin Haodong said, “Well, I’ll let you go and keep your wife here. I’ll give you a day. You must come back with the ox bronze head sculpture.”
“Okay.”
Mr. Smith agreed very straightforwardly.
Nevertheless, Qin Haodong still felt a little worried. What if this guy ran away? What if he didn’t care about his wife?
He took out a black pill and stuffed it into Mr. Smith’s mouth. Before Mr. Smith could figure out what was going on, sudden intense pain attacked his stomach. The pain seemed to come from the bone marrow and went straight to his soul, making him twitch all over. He simply could not stand it.
Qin Haodong reached out and patted him on the chest, and the pain immediately disappeared.
In just a few seconds, Mr. Smith was in so much pain that his entire body was drenched in sweat.
Qin Haodong said, “This is the Three Days Intestines Shattering Poison I refined. If you can’t come back within 24 hours, it will attack you once for three minutes. After three times, your intestines will rot and you will die.”
“I will definitely come back!”
Mr. Smith’s face betrayed his fear. The pain was bone-piercing. Even three seconds were enough to cost him half of his life, let alone three minutes,
After taking a few breaths, he said to Qin Haodong pitifully, “Mr. Qin, can you let me put on the clothes? It’s very inconvenient for me to do many things without them. It will delay my efficiency to get the treasure.”
