Lu Xinyao nodded slightly: "Don't worry, there will definitely be news before we reach our destination."
Just like Lu Xinyao said, I received the news shortly after the plane landed, but the news was not satisfactory. The intelligence agency only got rumors that the Blood Tulip family was indeed cursed, but could not find out the specific content of the curse.
This news means nothing to me.
I pondered for a while and then said: "Lu Xinyao, please help me search again to see if there is anyone who can have direct contact with the Tulip family, even their opponents."
"I'll try again!" Lu Xinyao said, "I'll take you to find weapons first."
Lu Xinyao also had channels to get weapons in Britain. I thought she would bring the weapons directly to us, but unexpectedly she took me to an underground trading warehouse.
A guy named Old Jack openly placed a large number of weapons in front of us: "Friend, as long as you can afford the price, I can even drive you a tank."
I took off a magnum from the wall and swung it back and forth: "It's a good thing. Do you have any cold weapons? I want a long knife, preferably a two-handed knife."
I roughly drew a sketch of Mi Tian on the paper: "Is there such a knife? I want two! The steel mouth must be good, and the blade must have strong endurance."
After Lu Xinyao translated my words, Old Jack leaned on the chair and crossed his legs and said: "Friend, what era is this? Are you a knight in the Middle Ages? Or are you a hero in a martial arts movie? But in the sky Flying? Those deceptive things have no effect in front of muskets. Your heroes can't even block the most primitive muskets, so you don't need to create any Chinese mystery in front of me."
The people around Old Jack suddenly burst into laughter. My eyes suddenly turned cold and my eyes suddenly widened when I looked at Old Jack. Bloody light burst out from my eyes. I was laughing loudly just now. The smiling old Jack turned pale suddenly, covered his chest with his hands and knelt on the ground, cold sweat falling drop by drop from his head.
Before the bodyguard standing beside him had time to move, Ren Tianqing and Li Xiaomao grabbed the bullets on the table at the same time, and fired them several meters away with concealed weapons without even using a gun.
The sound of more than a dozen bullets whizzing in the air was no less impressive than the hail of bullets. In the blink of an eye, five or six bodyguards were knocked to the ground at the same time. Dozens of gun muzzles stretched out from all sides of the underground warehouse in an instant, surrounding us.
I slowly threw the money on the table: "Don't be nervous. You insulted Chinese martial arts, so I have to give you a little lesson. The money is here. I will take the goods. I will give you 10% more, It’s just some medical expenses. Remember this, if you dare to speak out loud next time, it won’t be as simple as it is now.”
After I finished speaking, the blood in my eyes disappeared. Old Jack, who was kneeling on the ground, also sat on the ground gasping for breath: "You... are you the devil?"
"Stop talking nonsense and continue trading!" I said coldly: "I'll write you a list of goods..."
When Old Jack slowly climbed up from the ground, someone came out from the stairs on the second floor and kept applauding: "Wonderful, very wonderful. Are you Chinese warriors or warlocks?"
When I turned to look at him, I saw a muscular old man wearing a red checkered turban, a suit, and a cigar in his mouth walking down the stairs. The other person's appearance is at least eighty similar to the old Jack in front of me, but he is a bit more fierce than him.
He is the real old Jack.
I put my hands behind my back and looked at the other person and said, "I am a warrior and a warlock. How do you divide this?"
Old Jack's eyes suddenly lit up: "Excuse me, what does this gentleman want to do when he comes to Britain?"
Old Jack was afraid that I would misunderstand, so he immediately explained: "I'm not inquiring about your privacy, I just want to say that if you have time, I would like to hire you to do something for me."
I shook my head and said, "I don't have time."
Old Jack couldn't help but frown, but still asked without giving up: "What about three months later? Do you have time at that time? This matter is very important to me... "
I looked at Old Jack and said, "Although I don't know what you want to do. However, I can tell you that we will not go abroad at any time. This time we come here and leave as soon as we come. So, I can't help you." "
Old Jack then nodded and said: "Okay then! You can choose your weapons!"
I just chose a magnum and a gun. I am not used to using other guns. What I didn't expect was that Ye Xun, who couldn't find the crossbow arrows, actually picked a gun.
Ren Tianqing and Lu Xinyao were fully armed. Except for a set of camouflage uniforms, they were already the same as special forces.
Li Xiaomao didn't choose a weapon, but just picked more than ten daggers and hid them on her body. I clearly saw her putting away the daggers one by one, but I didn't see where she hid the things.
Lu Xinyao waited for us to get the equipment and pay in cash, then agreed on a place to deliver the long knives, and then took us out of the warehouse below and found a place to stay.
No, I don't want to take action immediately, but I am also waiting for information from Lu Xinyao.
Without anyone to recommend us, we rashly approached the Tulip family. Not only could we not solve any problems, but we could easily get into a fight.
I looked extremely calm on the surface, but I was so anxious inside that I couldn't even think carefully about the doubts in my notes. There was nothing to do except sit in the living room and smoke one cigarette after another.
What I didn't expect was that instead of waiting for the news from Lu Xinyao, I saw Old Jack delivering the goods to my door.
The transaction of two knives did not require a giant like Old Jack to come to the door in person. He must have other intentions if he came over. Before I had a chance to speak, Old Jack spoke first: "Mr. Wang Huan, we meet again."
I looked at Old Jack and my eyes suddenly shrank.
Old Jack waved his hand and said: "Mr. Wang Huan, don't get me wrong. I didn't inquire about the purpose of your trip. I just inquired about Mr. Wang Huan's identity. I didn't expect that Mr. Wang Huan would be a top figure in the detective hands."
Old Jack continued: "Mr. Wang Huan, you can rest assured. My intelligence channels are very secret. No one will know that you have arrived in Britain."
I squinted my eyes and looked at him and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I'd better hire sir to do something for me." Old Jack said: "I have always wanted to cooperate with the Detective. Unfortunately, the Detective never cooperates with foreigners. I don't think Mr. Wang Huan will abide by this. Rules, right?"
The Detective Hand established a rule that it would not cooperate with foreigners. They will not touch the forbidden areas of foreign mythology, and they will not allow anyone to penetrate into the forbidden areas of the country.
After the Detective Hand established this rule with blood, it has been in effect for nearly a hundred years, and no one can break it.
There is absolutely no way that Old Jack would seek cooperation from the Detective Hand.
I asked calmly: "The Adventurer's Guild in Britain is famous all over the world. Why don't you hire adventurers?"
Old Jack shook his head and said: "The first is the issue of credibility. It is difficult to guarantee the credibility between adventurers. Mr. Wang must have heard of this, right?"
While I nodded, Old Jack had already continued: "The second problem is the technical problem. Adventurers do not have the secret skills of the magic hand or magical powers. They would rather believe in technology than ancient secrets. Some things cannot be used. Technology cracks, am I right?”
Lu Xinyao also told me this. Adventurers have excellent individual qualities and are equipped with first-class equipment, but most of them do not believe in ancient secrets and are better at using technological means.
From this point alone, they have had major differences with the Detective Hand. This is another reason why the Detective Hand has been unwilling to change the rules and cooperate with adventurers.
Old Jack said again: "As for the third reason, adventurers never want to make sacrifices. As long as there is benefit, they don't care whether they destroy the restricted area. Giving up the mission or even blowing up the secret realm because of escape is not a good thing for adventurers. It’s a common occurrence. I don’t want that to happen.”
Old Jack looked at me and said: "I need to be a brave man with Eastern literacy, not an adventurer. Can you understand what I mean?"
I can probably understand what old Jack means.
The Eastern literacy he mentioned is actually the will to fight. It is not that there are no soldiers surrendering in Asian countries, but it is very different compared to Europe.
Since the age of chivalry, Europe has had the habit of ransoming captives. Therefore, when European knights have the opportunity to surrender, they will not choose to fight to the end. The worst they can do is wait for the ransom to be paid after surrendering. This kind of thinking lasted until World War II.
During the Second World War, scenes continued to unfold on the Chinese battlefields. While the tragic songs of entire armies dying to defend their country were constantly being staged on the battlefields of Europe, scenes of entire armies surrendering continued to appear on the European battlefields.
It should come as no surprise that adventurers would choose to retreat in time.
Old Jack's reasons can convince me, but it doesn't mean that I am willing to cooperate with him.
When I was thinking about how to reject the other party, Old Jack suddenly said: "I know that money may not be able to impress Mr. Wang. If I can provide you with all conveniences for this action, are you willing to accept my employment?"
My eyes suddenly lit up, and I turned to look at Lu Xinyao, who whispered in my ear: "Old Jack's family is very powerful. If he is willing to help with all his strength, we will get twice the result with half the effort."
When Lu Xinyao was talking, he touched me on the back. What she meant was: Let me promise Old Jack.
I pondered: "I have to say that your conditions impress me. However, I also have to tell you bluntly. After this operation, I will return to the country and break into a heaven-level restricted area. Can I come back alive? I can’t tell myself, are you willing to pay such a high price for a person whose life or death is uncertain?”
