Chapter 900: Chapter 900: Return to the Homeland
Coming to the Southern Federation was just a spur-of-the-moment decision, entrusted by someone else. However, Li Feng’s character is such that he never leaves empty-handed; how could he return from a trip to the Southern Federation with nothing?
The Oppenheimer family simply happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was just their bad luck.
As for the relationship with the Gods Temple.
Of course, they are still enemies, the kind who wish for each other’s demise upon meeting. But when there’s no chance to eliminate the other, and there’s money to be made, no one would pass up a profit.
Thus, everything that happened came about as a matter of course.
Li Feng played a game of half-truths and deceptions, and the people of the Southern Federation, who knew nothing of military strategy, were naturally duped.
Even if they realized Li Feng was behind everything, the final outcome would be the same: they would admit defeat.
Otherwise, Li Feng would show the Oppenheimer family what it means to incur the wrath of the Dragon.
Li Feng did not head straight for the airport, but instead detoured to another country, then boarded a private jet to leave the Southern Federation’s airspace.
This Southern Federation is ultimately the domain of the Gods Temple, and Li Feng had no intention of being careless and suffering a setback.
"The Dragon King did not appear at the airport, our men were left empty-handed."
An agent came up to Kevin and said to him, Kevin hummed, "As expected, if the Dragon King were that easy to deal with, he’d have died a thousand times already. How else would he be roaming free until now?"
"We spent thirty-five billion Federation Coins on that batch of diamonds."
"Yes, we spent thirty-five billion Federation Coins, but then we sold it for forty billion. Just by showing up, we made five billion Federation Coins. Is there any more profitable task than this?"
"But working with the Dragon King always feels a bit off, and as far as I know, the Dragon King spent fifty billion buying this batch of diamonds. He paid directly in Federation Coins, even though he previously scammed five billion from the police and ten billion from the Oppenheimer family, altogether just barely breaking even."
"Why did he do this?"
Kevin glanced at his subordinate, Omar: "You seem to have forgotten about those diamonds."
"Hmm?"
Omar looked at Kevin: "Diamonds, could he possibly demand this batch of diamonds back from the Oppenheimer family?"
Kevin shrugged: "Why not."
"But, but...!"
Kevin looked at Omar, who seemed unsure of what to say: "It’s hard to believe, but that’s the reality."
"The Dragon King spent fifty billion to bid on the diamonds. As for this batch of lost diamonds, we know he did it, the Oppenheimer family knows he did it, but does it help? Do you have any proof?"
"All of these transactions are under the table, and the reason the Dragon King had us get the forty billion Federation Coins, letting us earn a five-billion difference, do you know why?"
"Because with this maneuver, the Oppenheimer family can’t prove the diamonds were stolen by the other party, and the lost diamonds have been recovered. As for the process, it doesn’t matter at all."
"What matters is that Li Feng paid fifty billion, and the Oppenheimer family’s diamonds have not been delivered. From a business perspective, this transaction isn’t complete, so the other party has every reason to demand this batch of diamonds."
"The Oppenheimer family is a business family, they can’t back out of this deal, especially when it’s valued at fifty billion Federation Coins."
"Ha, do you believe the Dragon King will instantly seek out the top lawyer team in the Southern Federation to sue the Oppenheimer family, and this case, once taken on, will surely win with no chance of losing."
Omar listened to Kevin’s words: "If so, wouldn’t the people of the Oppenheimer family be aware of this point?"
"Do you know what’s the most frightening ability of the Dragon King?"
"Disguise?"
Omar looked at Kevin.
Kevin shook his head: "Control." Kevin pointed to his head as he spoke.
"The most terrifying aspect of the Dragon King is his control over the human mind. It’s said that the Dragon King himself is an incredibly skilled doctor, not only a formidable surgeon but also a master of psychology."
"When you interact with him, you unconsciously fall into his rhythm. Do you think the people of the Oppenheimer family were easily swindled out of ten billion Federation Coins? Because when they met the Dragon King, perhaps a fleeting gaze was enough to lead them astray."
"And the Dragon King planned everything so tightly, just to prevent them from having the chance to react, while subconsciously overlooking the most crucial point."
"That crucial point you mentioned, why didn’t they realize? It’s not that they didn’t, but subconsciously they believed the Dragon King wouldn’t come back for this batch of diamonds, because these diamonds were stolen by him, why would he come to claim them again."
Omar felt a bit dizzy with all the twists, but he understood the meaning, and was afraid to think further. No wonder the Dragon King is the most terrifying enemy of the Gods Temple, truly impenetrable.
He thought the other’s disguises were already troublesome enough, but now it seems, these disguises are merely trifling in comparison.
And it’s said that this Dragon King is also a world-class top hacker.
Simply not a mere human.
"So, does this mean the Dragon King not only recouped all the money he spent, but also got the diamonds and jewelry worth over thirty billion Federation Coins for free."
Kevin nodded.
"Want a piece?"
Omar showed a touch of greed, that’s over thirty billion Federation Coins after all.
Kevin looked at Omar and stood up, patting him on the shoulder: "It’s best not to easily provoke the Dragon King. The Gods Temple won’t go to war for you against him, and the Oppenheimer family is a pretty good cautionary tale."
"The fifty million Federation Coins from this mission have been transferred to you. Keep your mouths shut, and that way you’ll live longer."
The plane flew out of the Southern Federation, passing through the Central Island area.
"You’re almost home."
"Aren’t you coming to my house for a while?"
Li Feng looked at Annie: "Forget it, if I go, I’m afraid the Isa family might end up needing a new clan leader again."
"What, you want to be the clan princess?"
Li Feng saw right through Annie’s thoughts, and Annie hummed: "Why not?"
Li Feng glanced at Annie.
"You can, but it’s not the best choice. Here’s some advice: wield the power of the emperor to command the lords; that’s the most practical. After all, next time, I might not be there in time to save you."
"Hmph, next time we meet, it’s either you die or I survive; I won’t let you save me again."
With that, Annie got up from Li Feng, then dressed in front of him as the plane slowly descended to an airport on Central Island.
Li Feng watched as Annie disembarked. After refueling, the plane took off again, heading straight for Yan Country.
As soon as the plane touched down.
Li Feng saw a car parked beside the plane. Zhu Jun got out, opening the car door.
"What brings you here?"
"Haha, of course to welcome you, everything’s arranged."
