As a person who is quite sensitive to danger, Lu Li is sure that if he doesn't hand over the box in his hand immediately, then the guy with a rifle in the back seat of the car will definitely fire without hesitation. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Obviously, he didn't need to fight for a mere twenty crystals, so he very wisely threw the box into the car, pretended to smile and asked, "Are you so impatient?" Or are you going to do something before the Presbyterians arrive?"

"Challenging the authority of the Council of Elders? No, I don't have the guts to see what it is that would make them so aggressive. Sophia said as she quickly opened the box.

When she saw the crystals neatly placed inside, the whole person was instantly attracted by the light emitted by the crystals, carefully touched the surface with her fingers, and after a long time exclaimed in an unbelievable tone: "It's incredible! They are really the same as recorded in the stone slab, containing strange energy, and I can even feel the pendant resonating with it!"

"I suggest that you should be careful and don't make any rash attempts, otherwise if something unexpected happens, the consequences will definitely not be as simple as you think. Lu Li reminded with a smile.

With his knowledge of polluted crystals, these things can't be enhanced by absorbing the attribute crystals dropped by monsters like normal crystals, but through the accumulation of a large number of negative feelings, if someone intends to try it forcibly, the only result will be pain, and in serious cases, it will even burn out the brain.

Sophia obviously didn't know this, and still greedily stared at the charming halo emitted by the crystal, and then asked without raising her head: "Dear cousin, there are twenty-five mysterious gems here, and you said that if one or two are missing, the Council of Elders should not pursue it, right?"

Lu Li sneered and replied, "I don't know if the elders will pursue me or not, but don't you want to drag me into the water, as for what you want to do, it has nothing to do with me." Okay, now that the mission is complete, I should continue to disappear as originally planned, so let's say goodbye and goodbye. ”

With that, Lu Li turned around and was about to leave.

But before he could get five meters out, he heard Sophia shouting behind him, "Wait! If I'm not mistaken, the Elders will give us the task of killing everyone who has seen the crystal." Now that the crystals are in hand, the people who have seen them are still alive, so in order to prevent the news from leaking, I think you'd better stay and cause a few accidents. ”

"No, the order of the Council of Elders is to kill anyone who has seen the crystal with their own eyes, if necessary. But the problem is that there is no need for this now, as the crystals are dropped, no one can prove their existence at all, not to mention that you have mentioned before that Sotheby's auction will take the initiative to cover up this matter for the sake of its own reputation, and in the current state, doing nothing is the best choice, and killing people will cause unnecessary suspicion. ”

There is no doubt that Lu Li is not Enoch, so he is not interested in such a thing as slaughtering his own kind, and it can even be said that he hates killing innocents indiscriminately.

Unless the other party violates his bottom line, he prefers to solve problems through negotiation and exchange rather than resorting to violence.

"Wow, whoa, whoa, whoa! This really doesn't seem like the words that came out of the mouth of a puppeteer, haven't you always admired the potential threat of destroying everything?

Her expression made Lu Li instantly realize that his performance just now was very different from Enoch's, and hurriedly pretended to be disdainful and sarcastic: "You think you know me very well?"

No, you don't understand at all!

I may be a little bloodthirsty at times, but I never make mistakes when it matters most.

That's why the Elders used me to solve the crystal problem, instead of letting you command it.

By the way, you're stupid about having tactical teams on both sides of the bank, and if there is a firefight, I'm sure the Crystal will soon be in the sights of the U.S. government. ”

"Looks like you're not happy with my arrangement?" Sophia was visibly enraged, and her eyes sharpened suddenly.

Obviously, this is the effect that Lu Li wants to achieve.

Because once people are angry, they will become irrational and automatically ignore many details.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, he immediately closed his mouth, left a meaningful smile, and turned to disappear into the crowd.

A man sitting in the back lowered his voice and asked, "Miss Sophia, do you think we need to keep up?" You must know that it will take at least seventy-two hours for the purgeers to calm down the situation, and the police will still follow up on the clues during this time. ”

"No, no need, my dear cousin has the ability to take care of himself, and our next task is to protect these crystals and wait for the envoy of the Council of Elders. Sophia waved her hand and refused.

In fact, she didn't know that after passing through the crowd, Lu Li quickly returned to the room of the Hilton Hotel, retrieved his suitcase, and then changed back to his original appearance and went to a small hotel in Queens to open a room.

Because it was the kind of shabby, old place, there was no need to register at all, and after paying a $500 deposit, the black boss in his fifties put his best room key on the table.

Lu Li didn't say a word, went back to the room directly, washed all the chemicals on his body, face and hair with hot water and soap, and then turned on the TV in the house to check the 24-hour rolling news channel.

As he expected, the shooting at the entrance of Citibank's headquarters caused quite a stir, especially since the culprit was the secretary of the board of directors of Sotheby's auction house, and he was carrying hundreds of millions of dollars worth of gems, which anyone who was not a fool could smell something unusual.

Some media outlets flocked to Sotheby's to find out what was going on and why a corporate executive with an annual salary of more than a million dollars would take the risk of stealing the gems in the company's bank vaults.

However, it is disappointing that Ted Smith, as the president, did not answer the reporter's question at all, but only came forward to mention that he would investigate it as soon as possible, and then returned to his office.

Judging from his reaction and expression, Lu Li was almost certain that Sotheby's would handle this matter as low-key as possible to prevent the spread of negative news and cause the company's stock to fall sharply, but he didn't know how to appease himself as a seller...... (To be continued.) )
