Chapter 898: Chapter 898: Chain Trap
"Hmm?"
Annie looked puzzled; she had certainly heard this saying before: "I don’t want to hear platitudes, I just want to know your plan."
She’s not that easy to fool.
Knock, knock, knock.
"What’s the matter?"
The secretary’s expression was a bit strange as he spoke: "There’s a gentleman named Kevin outside who wants to see you."
"Hmm?"
"Didn’t he just leave a short while ago?" Owen looked puzzled, considering he had just sent ten billion Federation Coins to that account a few minutes ago.
Could the person be here to discuss the details?
"Let him in."
A moment later.
Kevin walked into the office, and Owen looked at him. "Mr. Kevin, did you receive the money?"
"Money?"
"What money?"
Owen looked at the bewildered expression on Kevin’s face. "Mr. Kevin, I just sent ten billion Federation Coins to you as you requested. Are you pretending to be confused?"
Kevin paused for a moment.
"Sir Owen, I’m the first to meet you, and I haven’t even said the amount yet. How do you know my name? And ten billion Federation Coins, you sent me ten billion Federation Coins? This joke isn’t funny at all."
Owen watched Kevin adamantly deny, feeling fury rising.
"Dare you say you didn’t."
This ten billion Federation Coins was his fortune stash, and now the other party was denying it. How could he not be angry!
Owen directly reached out towards Kevin’s collar.
Kevin, who enjoyed dressing well, was not an ordinary clerk; he was once affiliated with the European Intelligence Bureau as a field agent.
With a swift counter grab and a push, Owen was thrust into the sofa.
Kevin looked at the enraged Owen. "Sir, it seems you’ve misunderstood something."
"Security!"
Owen called loudly for the guards.
At this moment, the old butler walked in: "What’s going on?"
"Philip, you came just in time. This bastard took the money and is now denying it. Didn’t you just tell me the money had been sent?"
Owen looked at the old butler, Philip.
Philip nodded and said: "The money was indeed sent, ten billion Federation Coins. Mr. Kevin, this joke isn’t funny, even if you’re from the Gods Temple, but our Oppenheimer family is no pushover."
Kevin’s expression shifted slightly.
"How do you know I’m from the Gods Temple?"
"Stop pretending. You just came here, don’t you remember? Or did your head get hit on the way out, causing amnesia?"
Kevin looked at Owen’s sarcastic expression.
"I’m clearly here for the first time; why are you saying I’ve been here before?"
"And how did you know my identity? My identity within the Gods Temple is always confidential, known only to a few within the organization. Besides, I always act under the guise of a European Intelligence Bureau agent when outside."
Kevin looked seriously at the two.
"Did you say someone came before, also named Kevin, and looked like me, right?"
Philip looked at Kevin: "So that wasn’t you?"
"It seems I arrived a bit late. If I’m not mistaken, the Kevin you saw earlier wasn’t me but Dragon King Li Feng."
"Hmm?"
"You say it wasn’t you?"
Kevin looked at the two: "You seem to know nothing about this Dragon King Li Feng. Not only is his nickname Dragon King, but there’s a prefix before it, which is Thousand-face Dragon King."
"This person is exceptionally skilled at disguise. If his surgical knife isn’t used for killing, he might be an extremely brilliant and skilled surgeon."
"He often disguises himself as different people, and if it’s him, everything is easily explained. My identity is a secret to others, but not to him."
"Because he has another identity, which is a world-class hacker. He has hacked into the Gods Temple’s database and stolen considerable confidential information."
Owen and Philip exchanged a look.
"How do you prove you’re not the fake one?"
"It’s simple; the person disguises using a human skin mask. You just need to try it to find out."
Philip stepped forward, reached out to touch his face, and squeezed to verify his identity without any falsification.
"It’s genuine."
Owen sank into the sofa, recalling the first time he met the Caucasian at the hotel, as Annie said he was that freeloader; he should have realized it sooner.
Damn.
Ten billion Federation Coins ended up down the drain like this.
"Sir Owen, the Thousand-face Dragon King is a troublesome opponent. Even our Gods Temple and God’s Hand have suffered many losses at his hands and repeatedly fallen for his tricks."
"However, I’m here this time to talk with Sir Owen about your batch of Diamonds."
Kevin said.
Owen lifted his eyes to look at Kevin: "That batch of Diamonds has already been stolen by him, what else is there to talk about?"
"If you’re thinking of asking me for money to get them back, ha, you’d better not mention it."
Owen had been deeply hurt, and they were playing him hard.
Kevin looked at Owen.
"Mr. Owen, your batch of Diamonds is with us now."
"What did you say?"
Owen lifted his head to look at Kevin, and Philip glanced over as well: "Mr. Kevin, are you joking?"
Kevin shook his head slightly.
"I’m not joking; it’s true. I wonder if you’ve noticed the kidnapping in City B."
"We certainly heard about it."
"In the report two days ago, all the Yan Country hostages in that hotel were rescued. Do you recall the person who did it?"
Kevin pulled out a photo.
"I recognize him; he’s the one impersonated by Li Feng."
Owen looked at the person in the photo, the same Caucasian they had seen at the hotel, of course also impersonated by Li Feng.
"One of his purposes this time was to rescue the Yan Country hostages, and after doing so, he impersonated a negotiation expert, using the guise of requiring sincerity from the kidnappers, and managed to swindle five billion Federation Coins from the local police."
"Hiss!"
Owen and Philip were a bit taken aback, realizing they weren’t the only victims.
"We only noticed them at this point; the Gods Temple has dealt with them many times and is familiar with his usual tactics, hence concluding that the Thousand-face Dragon King acted again."
"For the past two days, we have been searching in secret, tracking them, and since this Dragon King is notoriously greedy, we strongly believed he’d target this Diamond exhibition, thus laying our trap."
"After they stole the batch of Diamonds, our people took action and seized the Diamonds."
Hearing Kevin say this, Owen jumped up: "Really?"
"Are you returning the Diamonds to us?"
Owen said.
Although cheated of ten billion, if he can recover the Diamonds, it wouldn’t be a total loss, especially since he had previously received fifty billion Federation Coins from the other side.
"Young master, listen to him finish talking." Philip, wiser with age, quickly saw that this matter wasn’t so simple.
