Chapter 147 Extraordinary Items? This World Is Not Simple

"One million pounds for the third time!"

clang!

As the auctioneer excitedly brought down the gavel, he announced loudly, "Congratulations, sir! This Holy Spirit Sword is now yours. Your judgment is exceptional, and I believe you will not regret your choice today."

I regret it now!

Allen's heart was bleeding. A million pounds for a piece of junk. Jack, you have to pay me back.

"You've got the goods, pay and go!"

With the Holy Spirit Sword sold, the small auction finally came to an end. Lu Ming urged Alan to pay the money, take the Holy Spirit Sword, and leave.

"Alan, you stop right there!"

Asian Eagle came down from the second floor and got furious when he saw Allen. He rushed up and grabbed Allen by the collar, "Do you know what you're doing? You ruined my good time!"

Upon seeing the Asian Flying Eagle, Allen became even more enraged. He grabbed the eagle by the neck and gritted his teeth, saying, "I want to ask you what's going on. Who gave you permission to auction the Holy Spirit Sword? Do you know that this could kill someone?"

Upon hearing this, Asian Flying Eagle almost laughed in anger. He slapped Allen's hand away and shouted, "The Holy Spirit Sword is something I painstakingly searched for!"

How I handle it is none of your business.

"On the contrary, the Holy Spirit Sword is of great importance to me; it concerns Lorna's life or death."

Allen glared at the Asian Flying Eagle, his face full of anger.

The couple lived a quiet and peaceful life on Hong Kong Island, but were inexplicably dragged into this terrorist attack; it's simply outrageous.

And the source of all this is the God Armed Force that the Asian Flying Eagles have been relentlessly searching for.

"What does this have to do with Rona?"

The Asian Flying Eagle is baffled.

Allen shook off Asian Eagle's hand that was grabbing his collar, and said angrily, "It's because you went to find some God's Armor that Rona was kidnapped. The kidnappers demanded that I bring three pieces of God's Armor to exchange for her. Tell me, does this have anything to do with you?"

"Lorna has been kidnapped?"

Asian Eagle was taken aback and anxiously asked, "What's going on? How did you get involved with God's Armed Forces again?" He really didn't know anything about this, let alone how Rona's kidnapping was related to God's Armed Forces, which he was looking for.

"The people who kidnapped Lorna are a group of cultists. Their ransom demands are three pieces of God's Armor and five million dollars," Allen said angrily. "Lorna and I have absolutely no connection with God's Armor. It's all because of you—Asian Flying Eagle—who went to find some God's Armor and dragged Lorna and me into this."

Upon hearing this, Asian Flying Eagle immediately understood what was going on. It turned out that someone knew he was looking for the God Armor, so they kidnapped Rona, who had a close relationship with him, to force him to hand over the God Armor.

As Allen said, Lorna was indeed kidnapped because of him.

"God's Armed Forces are just a pile of junk, worth at most a few coins. What would they need them for? Did you even ask if they could use money instead of God's Armed Forces?"

Asian Eagle was puzzled. The God Armor was indeed an antique, but in the antique trade, it was just an ordinary antique, not worth much money. There were countless antiques worth more than the God Armor.

"Nonsense, if it could be solved with money, would I have come all the way to Spain to find you?" Allen sneered. "They made it clear that as long as God's Armor is available, and I don't exchange it for God's Armor, Lorna is dead."

"Jack, tell me, how many pieces of God's Armor do you actually possess?"

Upon hearing this, Asian Flying Eagle's expression changed slightly: "There are five pieces of God's Armament in total. I have indeed found three of them, including the Holy Spirit Sword. However, I have already sold the remaining two to a local count."

"So you do indeed have three pieces of God's Armor," Allen said displeased. "We've been implicated because of you. I've already bought the Holy Spirit Sword, and you must return the money you received."

Asia Eagle's lips twitched. "Don't worry, I'll give you all the money back once I get it. However, the auction house will take a commission and we'll have to pay taxes. You might only get a little over 800,000 pounds after the first million."

"Eight hundred thousand is eight hundred thousand, it's better than losing one million."

Allen looked at Lu Ming with some resentment. Just now, Lu Ming had directly raised his paddle and shouted "one million pounds," pushing the price to a level that was beyond the reach of most people.

Lu Ming said without changing his expression, "It's only a loss of a little over 100,000 pounds, there's no need to be so upset. You need to understand, everything was for the sake of saving Lorna."

It's not your money, so of course you don't feel bad spending it.

This is all money I earned through hard work singing and dancing on stage.

Allen muttered to himself like a resentful woman.

"Alan, who is this?"

Asian Eagle looked at Lu Ming. He had been so busy arguing with Alan that he had only just remembered Lu Ming, this unfamiliar face.

"Jack, let me introduce you. This is Inspector Lu Ming, from the Hong Kong Island Police Department. He's responsible for secretly assisting me in rescuing Lorna. Let me tell you, Inspector Lu is a very capable man, a well-known police hero in Hong Kong."

Allen briefly introduced Lu Ming to Asian Flying Eagles.

"police?"

Asian Eagle paused for a moment, then, upon hearing that Lu Ming was officially dispatched to help rescue Luo Na, immediately removed his sunglasses and extended a friendly hand.

He made his move, "Hello, Officer Lu, my name is Jack."

"Jack—I've already heard about you from Allen on the way here." Lu Ming sized up the famous Asian Flying Eagle, shook his hand, and said with a smile, "My current identity is the same as yours, a bounty hunter. You don't need to call me Lu Sir, just call me by my real name."

"Okay, you can just call me Jack."

Asian Eagles readily agreed.

"Now that we all know each other, let's cut to the chase. Our immediate priority is to retrieve the Holy Spirit Sword, then find a way to get the remaining two God Armor pieces from the Count, and then we can go to the designated location to exchange them for Rona."

Allen was getting impatient.

Every minute that is delayed increases the danger for Rona.

They had to race against time.

"I know this place well, I'll take you there."

Upon hearing that it concerned Rona's safety, Asian Eagle dared not delay. He skillfully led the two to retrieve the Holy Spirit Sword and his money, intending to return it to Allen later.

"Flying Eagle, we helped you sell the sword for an astronomical price. Congratulations on making a fortune this time."

When the auction manager saw Asian Flying Eagle enter, he immediately greeted him warmly. Upon seeing Allen and Lu Ming, he said with a beaming smile, "Congratulations on acquiring these priceless swords. Believe me, you won't regret your choice today."

Allen's face darkened. How could all these unscrupulous merchants have such a face?

Asia Eagle was even more frustrated. What was originally a sure-fire business turned into a huge loss because of the arrival of Allen and his team, and he made no money at all.

"This is the sword you have won the bid for. Please take a look. Once you leave the auction house, we will no longer be responsible for the authenticity of this sword."

The auctioneer brought out the box containing the Holy Spirit Sword, opened it for Lu Ming and his companions to carefully examine its authenticity, and explained their respective responsibilities.

"It's true."

Allen looked at Asian Eagle, who sighed helplessly, "This sword was made by my own hand, I know it all too well."

"As long as it's true."

Allen breathed a sigh of relief.

"This precious sword—"

Lu Ming's gaze suddenly sharpened as he stared at the sword, keenly sensing that it seemed to emanate a faint spiritual energy.

"This sword is no ordinary weapon."

He felt a chill run down his spine and immediately came to a conclusion.

It is reminiscent of the legends of God's Armor, which was blessed by God and worn by a certain generation of holy knights to fight against cultists.

He suddenly wondered if this Holy Spirit Sword was some kind of extraordinary item.

Holy crap, are there supernatural things in this world?

Lu Ming was astonished, realizing for the first time that this world was not simple.

He originally thought he was a native of the motherland and didn't eat beef, but after going out for a trip, he discovered that there seemed to be people and things in the world on the same level as him.

This discovery left him with mixed feelings.

"The Earl is a local tycoon who lives in a manor in the East District. He is powerful and influential. I'll see if I can persuade him to lend me the God Armor. If not, I'll have to buy it back. However, the Earl is not short of money, but he is obsessed with antiques and artifacts. I'm afraid he may not be willing to sell it."

They took out the Holy Spirit Sword and left the auction house. Jack gave a brief introduction to the Earl.

"If he won't lend it or sell it, we'll have to think of another way."

Desperate to save his wife, Allen wasn't afraid to take a shortcut if the normal path didn't work, and he would "borrow" God's weapon in his own way.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Lu Ming with a guilty conscience.

Lu Ming is a righteous policeman; I wonder if he would agree with his actions.

"Huh!"

As they walked out of the auction house, Lu Ming immediately spotted Suvia standing outside, dressed in a women's suit. His expression was strange. "Miss, are you waiting for someone?"

Suvia, holding a woman's handbag in her right hand, sized up Lu Ming and asked bluntly, "Do we have a grudge?"

"We don't even know each other, how could we have a grudge?"

Lu Ming shook his head and smiled.

"So, you're deliberately trying to antagonize me?" A hint of annoyance flashed in Suvia's beautiful eyes. "Something worth at most two hundred thousand pounds, you're asking for a million pounds—is that fun?"

"You've misunderstood us. We genuinely need this sword, and we'll buy it no matter how expensive it is. We're not deliberately trying to go against you."

Lu Ming shrugged.

"Yes, we are determined to get this sword. If anyone is going against us—well, you are the one going against us. You asked for 500,000 for something worth 200,000, making us waste so much money. We don't even blame you, but you are blaming us instead."

Allen snorted. If this girl hadn't been offering such a ridiculous price, they would have already gotten the Holy Spirit Sword. Why would they have wasted so much money?

Do you think I'd believe your story?

Suvia didn't want to argue any further. She glanced at Asian Flying Eagle and said, "They consign themselves to auctions, then ask others to buy them back, and then they drive up the price of antiques—this kind of tactic is quite common in the antique industry."

Clearly, she mistook Lu Ming and his group for antique dealers who were inflating prices.

Allen said with dissatisfaction, "Why can't you reason with me?"

"I hope you don't run into my hands one day."

Suvia gave Lu Ming and the others a deep look, then tossed her hair aside, got into a car, and disappeared down the street.

Allen glanced back at Lu Ming and Asian Flying Eagle and complained, "Is this woman crazy? Who would want to get involved with her!"

'

Lu Ming's expression was strange. If he remembered correctly, Suvia seemed to be the count's daughter, and they were now going to the count's manor to borrow the remaining two God Armor pieces.

"Never mind her, saving Rona is the priority."

Asian Eagle didn't care about that; he was more concerned with how to get the two God's Armor pieces back from the Earl.

The Earl's Manor is located in the eastern district.

Lu Ming and Alan got into the Asian Flying Eagle SUV and sped towards the East District, soon arriving at the Earl's Manor.

This is a medieval-style manor with walls made of large stone blocks. It covers a vast area and includes facilities such as a large lawn, fountain, and horse stable.

"Wow, is this the world of the rich?"

Alan exclaimed in amazement the moment he saw the manor.

"I've already spoken with the Earl; someone will greet us as soon as we enter."

This was clearly not the first time Asia Eagle had visited the Earl's Manor. He and the Earl were quite familiar with each other due to their numerous transactions. On his way here, he had called the Earl to discuss his upcoming visit.

The count naturally welcomed him.

"Jack, what does this sign on the door mean?"

There was no one guarding the manor gate. The three of them got out of the car and went straight to the gate, where they saw a warning sign in Spanish.

Allen said he didn't understand, and then asked about the Asian Eagle, who had visited the manor before.

Asian Flying Eagle glanced at the sign, feeling a little guilty, and coughed dryly, saying, "Well, it just means 'No Trespassing,' we're not in that category."

Lu Ming glanced at the sign, then looked at Asian Flying Eagle with a strange expression. "Are you sure it's not 'Beware of vicious dogs, no entry'?"

"Forehead!"

Asian Eagle looked embarrassed. Allen pointed at him with his finger and said, "Jack, if you don't know, don't pretend to know. After all these years, you still can't get rid of your old habits. No wonder Lorna doesn't like you."

Why bring up those old stories now?

Asian Eagle was somewhat annoyed. "If you hadn't used those underhanded tricks back then, making me run around naked in the street without pants, who knows who would have gotten Rona?"

"Who told you to be so stupid?"

"I just don't want to hold a grudge against you, so as not to ruin our brotherhood. Of course, after that incident, there is no brotherhood between us anymore. I'm not helping you now, but doing this for Rona's sake. Don't get too cocky."

Asian Eagle sneered.

"Tch, as if nobody cares."

Allen pursed his lips.

Looking at the two of them, who seemed like a couple having a fight, Lu Ming had a feeling that "I should be under the car, not in it." He rubbed his forehead and said, "Are you two going to save Rona or not? If you keep arguing, you'll be collecting Rona's corpse."

"Forehead----"

The two men froze, then silently pushed open the manor gate and went inside.

Wang Wang!

The next moment, a dog barked from inside, startling the two of them so much that they quickly scrambled out again.

"I told you before, there are vicious dogs inside."

Lu Ming's lips twitched.

"Ahem, I knew there were vicious dogs inside, but I didn't expect there to be so many."

Asian Eagles were somewhat embarrassed. As soon as they stepped into the manor, more than a dozen German Shepherds rushed out, scaring them into fleeing in panic, fearing they would be chased by the vicious dogs.

Allen said with dissatisfaction, "What does the Earl mean? He welcomes us to visit, but keeps so many guard dogs at the door, putting on an attitude of turning us away."

"I'll go in and take a look."

Lu Ming pushed open the door and went in.

"Inspector Lu, there really are dogs inside, I'm not kidding you."

"Be careful not to get hurt."

Seeing that Lu Ming was knowingly heading towards a dangerous place, Asia Eagle and Alan quickly reminded him.

"I know, but—they seem quite friendly to me."

Before long, Lu Ming's relaxed voice came from inside, which surprised the two of them. When they went in, they found that Lu Ming had somehow become friendly with more than ten German Shepherds.

No, to be more precise, it was more than a dozen German Shepherds wagging their tails and trying to please Lu Ming, as if Lu Ming were their owner.

"Lu Ming, you're really capable. You got all of them done in such a short time."

Upon seeing this, Asian Flying Eagle immediately gave Lu Ming a thumbs up.

"These bastards, they even discriminate based on who they treat."

Allen's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but complain.

Lu Ming chuckled inwardly. These well-trained German Shepherds were not friendly at all; they had been tamed directly using the "Beast Taming" skill and had completely submitted to him.

Now, if he tells them to go east, they will absolutely not go west.

Lu Ming had clearly become their true master.

"Distinguished guests, the Earl sent me to escort you inside. I apologize if you were startled earlier?"

Just then, a tourist vehicle drove out of the manor, and a butler dressed in a suit, with elegant manners, like a medieval nobleman, stepped out, wearing a polite smile, to welcome them on behalf of the manor owner.

"Just kidding, it's just a dozen or so dogs, I'm not afraid at all."

The Asian Flying Eagle stood tall and proud, displaying great confidence. Alan nodded repeatedly in approval, "I faced tens of thousands of people on Hong Kong Island..."

"I'm not afraid of people, let alone these dozen or so dogs."

'

Lu Ming looked at the two of them strangely. "You two are quite the actors!"

Of course, he also acknowledged that in a real battle, the Asian Flying Eagle was indeed not afraid of these dozen or so dogs, but Allen—it would be a testament to his toughness if he didn't wet his pants.

"Please follow me, all three of you!"

The butler invited the three into the car, and then they drove to the mansion.

The Earl's mansion was equally luxurious and extravagant, dazzling to behold.

"How many years would I have to work hard to afford a house like this?"

Allen looked around the manor with a hint of envy at the luxurious yet understated decorations throughout.

"I suggest you reincarnate!"

Asia Eagle offers a method with the highest success rate.

Some things you don't have at birth, and you'll never have in this lifetime.

"I know you're just hoping I die soon so you can take advantage of the situation and marry Lorna," Allen sneered.

He said, "I won't fall for that. I'll live a long and miserable life, and outlive you."

Asian Eagle curled its lip and said no more.

Seeing the two of them arguing again, Lu Ming clicked his tongue and said, "Why do I feel like you two are a couple bickering in a melodramatic TV series? Why don't you two just get together and set Luo Na free!"

Uh ~

These words sent chills down the spines of both Allen and Asian Eagle. They glanced at each other warily, wondering if this guy was really after them.

Gan!
