Chapter 885: Chapter 885: Borrowing a Knife to Kill
Owen furrowed his brows.
The butler beside him also remained silent, understanding the inner conflict of his young master, especially since just an hour ago, the other party had publicly humiliated their young master.
And that two-digit numbered five-star Black Gold Card was also the biggest issue.
No one would dare to offend someone holding this card.
Because everyone knows that American Express’s five-star Black Gold Card is a symbol of identity, status, and power, recognized in elite circles worldwide, with extremely strict identity verification by the issuing company, American Express.
Could American Express make such a mistake?
Evidently not.
Especially since the cardholder is someone from Yan Country, while the Federation’s upper-class society is the mainstream group in this world, and a person from Yan Country trying to enter this circle faces far higher barriers than expected.
At least among the elite circles of the world, faces from Yan Country are few, and faces from Yan Country are almost zero.
American Express would not make a mistake, the other’s five-star Black Gold Card is real.
But could the intelligence from the Dark Web be wrong?
No, it wouldn’t.
The Dark Web, as the world’s largest underground website, has an intelligence network comparable to that of the Federation’s combined intelligence systems; even Northern Federation’s intelligence agencies buy information from the Dark Web.
Because the Dark Web connects the dark worlds of various countries, even over seventy percent of the world’s arms, drugs, smuggling, and other illegal trades are conducted on the Dark Web.
Moreover, the operators of the Dark Web are extraordinarily mysterious, rumored to be composed of ten Divine Level hackers united to form the Dark Web.
In short, the firewall of the Dark Web is very formidable, and to this day, no one has breached it.
Therefore, the intelligence sold by the Dark Web has always been known for its accuracy, so the intelligence they see cannot possibly be false.
For a long while.
The butler suddenly spoke: "Young master, American Express would not make a mistake, nor would the Dark Web’s intelligence have errors."
"Hmm?"
Owen raised his eyes to look at the butler.
The butler carried on: "There is only one possibility."
"What?"
"The information from the Dark Web is incomplete."
Owen furrowed his brows even tighter: "Continue."
"Yes, young master, the other party is from Yan Country, and Yan Country has always been excluded from the mainstream world; Yan Country people have always been unable to integrate into our circle."
"Similarly, we also find it difficult to integrate into their circle, so our understanding of Yan Country people is very limited."
Owen didn’t refute, for it was indeed so; if not for the rapid advancement of Yan Country’s economy over the last decade, who would pay any heed to Yan Country, and does Yan Country even have any elite families?
"Moreover, the circle in Yan Country is very exclusive; perhaps the Dark Web has made some inroads there, but I imagine it’s definitely not as all-invasive as in the Federation world, at least the fact that the other party has an American Express five-star Black Gold Card is something even the Dark Web would not know."
Owen nodded, agreeing with the butler’s view.
Yan Country has always been very mysterious in their eyes.
"Could it be that this time I’ll just endure it?"
But to just concede defeat, losing face in front of someone from Yan Country, tonight’s events will definitely spread, and in the upper-class circles, news like that spread at the speed of light.
Without even waiting for tomorrow, he would become the laughing stock of the entire upper-class society, someone who was humiliated by a Yan Country person.
Despite the intelligence from the Dark Web making him restless, the deterrence of the American Express card was too great, making him very cautious.
"Young master, there is a tactic called using someone else’s knife to kill."
"Oh?"
Owen raised his eyes to look at the butler, using someone else’s knife to kill: "How do you mean?"
The butler looked at Owen: "It means that if you want to kill someone, you don’t necessarily need to do it yourself; you can completely have someone else do it, and not dirty your own hands."
"Hmm? Are you saying to find someone to take him out?"
Owen’s mouth showed a hint of cruelty: "This time the people from K Company were stepped on by the other party, losing face, and I imagine K Company’s mercenaries must also really want to eliminate him."
Who are K Company’s people? War Hyenas, professional killing machines, and K Company’s mercenaries have always been untamed; apart from money that can make them submit, these people are almost lawless.
"No."
The butler shook his head directly.
"Young master, if you want to use the tactic of using someone else’s knife to kill, you shouldn’t use your own people. Many people know K Company was hired by young master, so if K Company’s mercenaries act, the others will definitely suspect it was young master who ordered it."
"But if K Company’s people don’t do it, should I go find other assassins?"
"Owen, young master, why not let that Beihai Country person go cause trouble for him."
"Beihai Country person?"
Owen suddenly thought of that short and burly man who wasn’t even 1.6 meters tall: "You mean that person from the Yamamoto Family."
"Yes, young master."
The butler nodded: "Young master, Beihai Country people have always been ingrained with a bully the weak and fear the strong mentality; they are humble to the strong to the core, as long as you are strong, you are like his father; if you slap him, he might even bring the other cheek."
Owen agreed with a hum, who didn’t know Beihai Country was the Northern Federation’s subordinate.
"But likewise, if they encounter someone weaker than themselves, Beihai Country people’s arrogance and pride will be even greater; if you let them know about the Yan Country identity of the person who shamed them before, will they let it rest easily?"
"He will definitely be embarrassed and enraged, hating for the inability to kill the other to restore face, especially since the other is a Yan Country person."
Owen furrowed his brows: "The other won’t be that foolish, right? After all, the card in the other’s hand isn’t fake."
"That’s easy, just let him overlook this point, he probably doesn’t understand what the two-digit numbered five-star Black Gold Card truly signifies."
"After all, he’s just an arrogant Beihai Country person, and also from one of the five major Gate Valve families of Beihai Country, with such a background, why would he fear a card?"
The butler curled his lips into a smile.
Listening to the butler’s analysis, Owen smirked lightly: "Butler, then let’s proceed as you said, let these two dogs, dog fights dog."
"I just want to see what other cards the opponent still holds."
This maneuver of using someone else’s knife to kill was too ingenious; if the other is an imposter, the shorty from Beihai Country would help him finish off the opponent, and if the opponent still has cards in hand, the unlucky one would be the shorty, and it would have nothing to do with him.
"Yes, young master!"
The butler nodded and withdrew.
In a nearby five-star hotel, Yamamoto Shou, who was publicly shamed and felt he had lost face, did not attend the auction but sat alone in the hotel bar drinking in frustration.
At this moment, a tall beauty approached Yamamoto Shou and ordered a drink from the bartender.
"Mr. Yamamoto, tasting humiliation doesn’t sit well, does it?"
Yamamoto Shou lifted his head to look at the beauty sitting beside him, dressed in an evening gown, tall figure, and scoring nine in attractiveness.
"You dare to humiliate me too!"
