Charlie had a hint of murderous intent on his face, but Luo Feng seemed completely indifferent to it.
“Indeed, we can negotiate the price. I am very fond of, and indeed require, this Buddha statue,” Luo Feng said.
After Luo Feng finished speaking, Charlie gave him a once-over. He couldn’t fathom what was so special about this young man named Luo Feng, who dared to speak so boldly in his presence.
Unable to suppress a smirk, Charlie headed straight for the elevator. As he walked away, he gestured strangely to the bodyguards behind him.

Luo Feng had initially wanted to resolve matters without resorting to violence. After all, his primary aim was to peacefully acquire the cultural artifact and return it to Mr. Wu.
But since the other party had initiated hostilities, there was no reason for Luo Feng to hold back.
Dodging a swift elbow strike from behind, Luo Feng seized the opportunity as his attacker overreached. Grabbing the man’s fist, he effortlessly hoisted him into the air.
Using the man as an improvised weapon, Luo Feng dispatched the remaining bodyguards in quick succession.
In that brief moment of action, a larger group of armed guards converged in front of Luo Feng. The dark muzzles of their guns were now aimed directly at his head, forcing him to halt his movements.
“Leave this place immediately, or your head will burst open!” barked the captain of the security team.
Without entering into direct confrontation, Luo Feng took a piece of paper from his pocket and wrote down his phone number.
“This is my number. If your boss ever changes his mind and wishes to part with the Maitreya Buddha statue, he can call me directly. We can discuss the terms.”
After placing the piece of paper next to the Buddha statue, Luo Feng calmly left the Cosmic Tower.
The security at the Cosmic Tower was indeed formidable. From the moment Luo Feng engaged in combat to the point where he faced the loaded guns, less than a minute had elapsed. Acquiring the Maitreya Buddha through unconventional means seemed nearly impossible.
After leaving the tower, Luo Feng visited the National Transport warehouse to ensure that there were no urgent matters requiring his attention. He then went to meet Jardins and Alice, who both appeared quite excited.
“You both look happy. I assume the payment from the other side has come through?” Luo Feng inquired, and Jardins nodded proudly.
“Of course! This is the first deal I’ve closed. If everything goes smoothly, I plan to frame the contract and hang it above my bed, revisiting it every day!”
Jardins’ face was filled with pride, and Luo Feng was genuinely pleased for him. Luo Feng had previously formulated a business plan for this wholesale market. With the warehouse now vacated, they could definitely sustain their livelihood by following the plan.

“By the way, wasn’t Maria quite busy today? How did she find the time to send the payment?” Luo Feng asked, recalling Maria’s hurried demeanor earlier in the day.
Upon hearing Maria’s name, Alice’s expression instantly soured, and Luo Feng immediately picked up on it.
Combining this with the news he had heard from Liu Jian, Luo began to suspect something.
“Yeah, Maria was really busy today. I was quite concerned, so I called her earlier, and she transferred the payment,” Jardins explained, only to realize that Luo Feng had been focusing on Alice and had not been listening. “Hey, Luo Feng, are you even listening to me?”
“Yes, yes, of course,” Luo Feng quickly refocused and said, “So when do you plan to deliver the goods? They’ve already sent the payment, so we should hurry.”
“Don’t worry, it’s all arranged. First thing tomorrow morning, Alice and I will deliver everything,” Jardins announced, his face still flushed with excitement.
But Luo Feng couldn’t share the excitement. He had found Alice, who was of great importance to Charlie. Perhaps he could even exchange her for the Maitreya Buddha. However, looking at Alice’s expression, Luo Feng couldn’t bring himself to make such a decision.
That evening, Luo Feng pulled Jardins aside and revealed Alice’s identity and the current situation. Upon learning that Alice was actually Charlie’s daughter, Jardins’ astonishment was palpable.
“She has such a background?” Jardins couldn’t believe it.
“That’s why you should not take her with you for the delivery. Maria is one of Charlie’s trusted lieutenants,” Luo Feng advised..
