"Fuck!"The well-cultured Xuan Chu couldn't help but burst into foul language as well, "What about it? You'd better send someone to find that bastard. Have we been busy for so long just working for them?"
"Xuan, calm down. I've already sent someone to look for him."
Xuan hung up the phone in exasperation and looked to Venus Mu, "Did you hear that?"
Venus was speechless. Wasn't that working for someone else?
What about her? The treasure map was given out and there was no longer any use for her to stay by Kerry Ye. If the man who wore the mask was shameless, he would definitely still let Venus look for the treasure map. Venus felt that he could do such a shameless thing.
……
By the lake, Kerry fought alone. Even if he was strong, there were moments when he ran out of bullets. Therefore, when more than ten guns were pointed at his head, Kerry raised his hands consciously.
A good man didn't eat immediate loss.
The man angrily punched him hard in the chest, "Why isn't the map complete?"
Kerry covered his chest, "The treasure map was just incomplete when my dad gave it to me."
The man threw another punch, but Kerry deftly dodged the punch. The man said a swear word and then the two men get tangled up when ten guns pointed at them.
Kerry could fight, and the other guy was not bad, but he was inferior to Kerry. He was punched by Kerry the whole time. The man was furious and pulled out his gun and shot at Kerry. Kerry didn't dodge it and a bullet hit him in the shoulder.
"Aren't you very good at fighting? Hit me." The man lifted his foot and kicked Kerry in the chest. Kerry fell hard to the ground and was about to get up but the man put a gun to his head, "I thought you Kerry were so cool, but it was nothing more than that."
Kerry covered his bleeding wound tightly and taunted him, "You're so many people and I fight by myself. Do you think it's a glorious win?"
"So what? I don't care about the rules as long as I win. Where's the part of the map that is missing? If you don't tell me, I'll kill you."
Kerry looked at him with a sneer, "Fine. If you shoot me, you'll never get the rest of the piece."
The man raised his fist and was about to punch him but he understood what it meant. He asked him, "So, you have another piece?"
"What do you think?" His words were ambiguous.
The man stared at him grimly for a moment and said to his subordinates, "Bring him back. I'm going to ask him slowly, and I don't believe I can't ask where the remaining half of the treasure map is."
Kerry was rudely dragged up from the ground. The blood from his injured shoulder flowed faster. The bright red blood stained half of his white shirt, looking terrifying.
The man was probably afraid that Kerry would bleed to death, and impatiently said to the people around him, "Call a doctor over so that he won’t die before we get the news."
"Yes, boss."
Kerry was blindfolded as soon as he got into the car. His two hands were also tied in front of him and his phone was confiscated.
With darkness in front of his eyes, Kerry had the time to think about Venus, wondering where they had gone and if they had been caught. In fact, as long as she was safe, he didn't care what he had to endure. As long as he was not dead, he would be able to escape from these people.
What's more, he was curious to know who these guys were and where they knew about the treasure map. Ever since his parents died, no one knew about this secret. If some people were to reveal this secret, the Ye family would not be at peace. Overtly and covertly there would be countless people coming to disturb them, after all the attraction of an unknown amount of wealth was too great.
The car went south and stopped after an hour or so. Kerry was dragged out of the car.
"Go." Someone pushed his shoulder. Kerry didn't stand firm and almost fell. And then two people, one left and one right, brought him into the room and then untied the black cloth over his eyes.
Kerry opened his eyes and took a look around. It was a luxurious villa, with marble floor tiles, leather sofas, rosewood tables and chairs, and all sorts of gilded decorations, all of which gave off a strong air of upstart.
"What are you looking at?" The man yelled at him, "Take him to the yesterday’s room and bring the doctor there too."
Kerry was taken to a room on the first floor. Inside there was simply a bed, a bathroom, and a random bag thrown on the floor. Kerry recognized that it was Venus’s bag.
Here, was this the place where Venus was locked up yesterday?
"You stay there. The doctor will come immediately."
The door slammed shut. Kerry went to the window, which was fitted with stainless steel outside so it was impossible to escape. Through the glass, Kerry could only see thick trees.
It was easy enough to escape from here, but he wanted to know more about the identity of the group.
After a moment's rest, the door was pushed open again and the guy came in was the one that he wanted to see.
Kerry was calmly sitting on the bed, looking at him indifferently.
The man looked at him like this and couldn't help but admire him. He had never seen such a hard-headed person before. Just now he heard his subordinates say that he didn't even say a word when he was taking the bullets so he was a tough man.
"Kerry, how about we do business?"
"No problem. I'm already a businessman, and I'm best at doing business." Kerry said flatly, "But before we do business, can you tell me who you are?"
The man laughed, "What? Trying to get back at me afterwards?"
Kerry looked so honest, "I want to know who I lost to. Besides, isn't it normal for you to take revenge on me and I take revenge on you? Or do you think that I, Kerry, am persuasive?"
"You're direct enough, aren't you afraid I'll actually kill you here?"
Kerry said disdainfully, "Kill me? Then you'll never find the treasure. At the same time you'll have to face countless people hunting for you. What good is such a loss-making business to you?"
The man stared at him with his eyes, and after a moment said, "You're right, I don't want to kill you yet. But I can torture you slowly. Keep you alive and let you beg for your life."
"That's even worse. Maybe I'll escape at some point. And then you do not have me and the money, so why bother?"
The man was speechless, "According to you, I can't do anything about you?"
Kerry said calmly, "Of course there are other ways. Didn't you just say do business? Show your sincerity. I'll give you the map and you let me go. From then on, if we run into each other again, we'll settle this at that time."
The man sneered, "Sincerity? Kerry, don't you forget that you are arrested by me."
"I don’t care I am arrested by you. I have leverage so you can't kill me. I'm even more unafraid of being tortured by you. So do as I say. It's the best for both of us."
