Lu Hao and Jack rushed back, quickly spotting three European men in suits circling their SUV, occasionally peering into the windows.
Fortunately, Jack's SUV had undergone various high-tech modifications, making it not only amphibious but also incredibly durable, with robust defenses, leaving no room for intrusion.
The three men in suits could only stare at the SUV with frustration.
“I can only handle one, can you handle the rest?”
Jack watched, not at all flustered, and instead gave Lu Hao a sideways glance, aiming to get his revenge for Lu Hao's previous teasing about his lack of dating skills.
“Definitely!”
However, Lu Hao confidently flashed an "OK" sign, assuring Jack to relax.
“You really think so!?”
“Definitely.”
Facing Jack's skeptical look, Lu Hao responded with a confident smile.
“Alright, let’s do it.”
Seeing Lu Hao’s confidence, Jack, no longer hesitant, quickly ran forward, jumped up, and landed on the hood of the car. Smiling at the guy who was peering into the window, he asked in a playful tone:
“Hey, trying to steal the car!?”
The guy, startled by Jack’s sudden voice, instinctively swung his fist towards him.
However, he was no match for Jack, and was quickly disarmed and taken down.
While Jack was distracting the other man, Lu Hao stealthily moved behind him, pressing a finger against the back of his head, “Put your hands up, or I’ll shoot.”
The man in a suit was shocked, feeling the pressure on the back of his head, he dared not resist, and could only obediently raise his hands in surrender.
Jack looked over, seeing Lu Hao using his finger as a gun, he burst out laughing, “You little rascal, using your finger as a gun to deceive people.”
“What?”
Upon hearing this, the man in the suit, who had surrendered, became embarrassed and furious, wanting to turn around and punch Lu Hao. But before he could, Lu Hao had already taken the initiative, landing a punch on his jaw.
After undergoing three rounds of physical enhancement liquid transformation, Lu Hao’s body had become incredibly strong. The punch sent the man in the suit tumbling to the ground.
“Jack, I told you I could handle one, didn't I!?”
Lu Hao spread his hands towards Jack, looking nonchalant.
“You indeed have some skills, kid.”
Jack saw Lu Hao easily knock down the man in the suit, and praised him with a chuckle.
The man in the suit, unwilling to accept defeat, tried to get up and continue fighting, but Lu Hao wasn't going to let him. He kicked him over again.
The other man in the suit also struggled to get up and retaliate, and Jack was rubbing his hands together, ready to beat them up again.
“Hold on, stop fighting...”
“We're all on the same side.”
Just then, a man in a suit from the back of the car rushed out, stopping the fight between the two sides.
“Flying Eagle, the Earl sent us.”
He smiled and extended his hand towards Jack. Hearing that they were sent by the Earl, Jack smiled, and the two men shook hands.
The misunderstanding was cleared.
“Flying Eagle, come with me, the Earl is waiting for you at the manor.”
“Lu Hao, get in.”
Jack gestured to Lu Hao, then got into his SUV and drove off, heading straight for the Earl’s manor.
“Jack, who is this Earl?”
Along the way, Lu Hao casually asked about the Earl.
As the owner of the Adventure and Treasure System, he was destined to become a treasure hunter like Jack, naturally interacting with those who possessed information about various treasures.
Jack glanced at him and introduced, “The Earl is one of my major employers. He's a well-known noble in Spain, with immense wealth. He loves all sorts of antiques and often commissions me to find famous and valuable antiques.”
With Jack’s explanation, Lu Hao quickly grasped the Earl's basic information.
Many nobles and celebrities around the world, especially those old money families in Europe and America, are passionate about collecting all sorts of curious and bizarre antique treasures. Therefore, they often befriend excellent bounty hunters, specifically hiring them to find antique treasures for them, fulfilling their collecting desires.
“So, their collection rooms must contain a vast amount of precious antiques!?”
Lu Hao stroked his chin, lost in thought, his eyes glinting with a dangerous light.
“Hey, hey, hey, don't get any ideas, kid. The security measures in these noblemen's manor villas are extremely strict. Even I have difficulty sneaking in. Don't get any crazy ideas. Be careful, you might get caught.”
Jack realized that Lu Hao was thinking dangerously, and quickly reminded him, lest this guy impulsively try to steal from those nobles.
“Relax, relax, I’m not that kind of person.”
Lu Hao smiled slightly. How could he be a reckless person? He would only act when he had a foolproof plan.
“Hopefully.”
Jack muttered, not entirely believing Lu Hao.
While the two were chatting, they arrived at a grand European manor.
A majestic and towering ancient castle stood at the center of the manor.
The outer walls of the manor were lined with electrified wire fences, and numerous surveillance cameras were installed in every corner of the castle, providing a 360-degree surveillance of the entire manor.
Countless men in suits, guarding vicious dogs, patrolled the perimeter, preventing any intruders from entering.
“Jack, you’re right, the security is indeed strict. We need to plan this out carefully.”
Lu Hao, looking at the extensive security measures of the manor, admitted that stealing from inside would be incredibly difficult.
“…”
Jack was speechless. Was this kid seriously thinking about sneaking into the manor to steal things?
Lu Hao smiled, but didn't explain further, his eyes casually scanning two European men who looked like construction workers at the entrance of the manor. They were peeking and looking at them.
“Jack, wanna bet, you might have big trouble with this commission?”
He chuckled, challenging Jack to a bet.
“Another bet? Not this time!”
Jack cautiously looked at Lu Hao, not taking the bait anymore.
He lost miserably last time, and is now plagued by how to fulfill the bet by taking Lu Hao on another quest.
“Jack, you're so boring.”
Seeing Jack refusing, Lu Hao shrugged.
