Chapter 520: Such Arrogance
Led by Sha Hai, the two came to the basement of the manor.
Though called a basement, its area was probably not much smaller than the basketball court upstairs.
The lives of capitalists were indeed decadent!
In the basement were rows of wooden crates, and a faint bloody smell lingered in the air.
Xiao Shun noticed a colorful fur peeking out from the crevice of an inconspicuous crate in the corner.
Damn, it seemed Persimmon Commercial was no stranger to illegal fur trade.
After lamenting the inevitability of killing for profit, he followed Sha Hai to a wall.
“Mr. Sha, don’t tell me your treasure is this wall?”
Eyes scanning around, Xiao Shun wondered whether he should steam or boil this old geezer who had duped him.
Zhu Que’s hand was already unconsciously resting on her back waist, ready to strike.
Seeing this, Sha Hai’s scalp tingled. He quickly explained, “Don’t get me wrong. The treasury I mentioned is behind this wall. It’s a private space I opened up.”
“You better not play any tricks on us. This lady’s marksmanship specializes in dealing with disobedience!” Xiao Shun cackled.
Sha Hai shrank his neck. “I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare…”
Then he walked up to the wall, pressed an protrusion, and with a rumble, the seamless wall split open to reveal a heavy iron door.
Just looking at the door’s thickness, Xiao Shun knew the treasury must be extraordinary, containing who knew how many wonders. It was truly tempting.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
After the wall split, Sha Hai strode to the iron door, flipped down a metal plate, and nimbly pressed at it with his fingers.
“Ka-chunk!”
The lock dropped with a crisp sound.
Hearing the familiar noise, Sha Hai smiled slightly and pushed open the heavy door.
Golden light shone out. Covering the floor inside was gold.
Damn!
Using gold to pave the floor, this was insane!
Even the widely experienced Xiao Shun was stunned by Sha Hai’s extravagance.
He shouted inwardly: This dude is truly arrogant!
In Zhu Que’s bright eyes, a trace of astonishment also appeared. She was clearly caught off guard by Sha Hai’s domineering spirit.
Satisfied at the two’s reactions, Sha Hai felt smug inside. The pent-up humiliation seemed to vanish, replaced by a carefree mood.
“Ahem, please slowly pick whatever you like. Don’t be shy, just take it!”
Xiao Shun readily said, “Of course, of course!”
Zhu Que’s face was expressionless. After the initial surprise, she quickly regained her composure.
Seeing the lady’s apparent disinterest, Sha Hai grew anxious.
After all, if she refused to enter and take anything, wouldn’t his life be at stake here?
More importantly, if they didn’t go in, his next plan would fail!
So he quickly introduced, “Inside are treasures I’ve collected over the years. Many are unique pieces, rare even on the market.”
“You’ve done well!” Xiao Shun patted Sha Hai’s shoulder approvingly.
Looking at the shameless guy, Sha Hai rolled his eyes.
I haven’t even talked to you, who do you think you are judging me!
Silently cursing Xiao Shun, he gestured invitingly, “My lady, please help yourself!”
Zhu Que glanced at him indifferently and entered the glittering treasury.
“Mr. Sha, you wouldn’t shut us inside after we enter, would you?” Xiao Shun crossed his arms, coldly observing Sha Hai’s expression. His earlier casualness was gone.
“How… how could I?” Sha Hai forced out a laugh, his awkwardness evident.
He had intended to do just that, though he hadn’t acted yet.
“Hmph!”
Seeing Sha Hai’s guilty face, Xiao Shun sneered. Then he fiercely slapped the heavy iron door.
“Boom!”
Flesh collided with iron. Soundwaves rippled out, lingering in the enclosed basement.
At the same time, a shocking palm print appeared on the door!
My god, that was a 10cm thick steel plate. One slap from him almost smashed it!
Seeing the spiderweb cracks on the iron door, Sha Hai gaped, dumbfounded.
After all, it was his first time seeing such a fierce person!
Looking at the startled Sha Hai, Xiao Shun grinned evilly, “Sorry about that. There was a mosquito just now and I couldn’t help slapping it. Mr. Sha wouldn’t make me pay for repairs, right?”
“No… you can slap however you want!” Sha Hai stammered shaking his head.
“Hehe, I just love making friends with frank people like you.”
Xiao Shun reached out to pat Sha Hai’s shoulder friendlily.
Damn, that palm just cracked my iron door. If it hits my shoulder, I’ll be done for!
Seeing this, Sha Hai shivered and quickly dodged back.
Xiao Shun stopped his hand, smiling contentedly.
Seeing the intimidation worked, he decided to quit while he was ahead.
“Mr. Sha, you don’t have to stay here picking with us. As the host, your presence makes us unable to freely choose. That would be letting down your generosity. Why don’t you first inform Mr. Tan about what I just said?”
Sha Hai forced a smile, “Alright, don’t stand on ceremony Mr. Xiao! Take whatever you want. I’ll stop getting in your way.”
Then he fled in panic.
He never expected the underground emperor of Harrow for over 10 years would have such a dreadful day.
It wasn’t that he was cowardly, just that Xiao Shun and Zhu Que’s presence had too great a visual impact.
“Hehe.”
Xiao Shun shook his head with a soft laugh and entered the treasury to see what treasures were inside.
Of course, he had no interest in the gold on the floor.
It could only visually impress him!
“Aren’t you worried he’ll surround this place after leaving?” Zhu Que asked, gliding to Xiao Shun’s side.
“Don’t worry. His ability to survive until now in the bloody underground proves Sha Hai’s intelligence. He won’t take such risks.”
Xiao Shun paused, then smiled, “Besides, even if he did, what do I have to fear?”
Hearing this, Zhu Que glanced at him. “You really are a strange man.”
“Likewise.”
Looking at the TNT explosives he had just planted around the walls, Xiao Shun smiled meaningfully.
