face this invitation.
The people present looked at each other in confusion. If this was a tightly guarded exhibition hall, then they would have no choice but to queue up to check it out.
But now the owner of the gem, a frail-looking old man over fifty years old, is standing there. The first person to step forward can seize the gem and hold it hostage with his backhand.
When the financial owner is in hand, the security personnel, no matter how elite they are, can only sit back and watch him evacuate safely.
Imagination is beautiful, but reality is often not as good as expected.
Even if the gem seems to be easily available, they have to wonder if there is any conspiracy. Now they are waiting for an idiot with no vision to stand up and implement this seemingly easy and freehand plan to detect mines.
There was silence in the field, and every breath seemed extremely long. About ten seconds of silence passed, and still no one took the first step.
These people just look at me and I look at you, and they don't want to be the one who will be targeted by everyone else if they make a move.
Asakura looked at them and knew what they were thinking.
"You came all the way here and now you have lost interest in it?"
He frowned and held the gem firmly in his hand.
"No, I don't think it's necessary to confirm, just make a price." The young lady with the surname Suzuki said directly.
To be honest, when the owner of the gem asked them to step forward to confirm, the gem became infinitely closer to reality in their eyes.
After all, this is different from jewelry that requires a certificate of appraisal from a professional appraisal agency. If you want to know whether this piece is authentic, you only need to hold it up and take a look at the moon.
"I think you should know why I took out this gem." Asakura turned to look at him and said word by word, "I will not give this thing away just for some money."
"Of course." Suzuki looked around at the competitors. During this period, they were all exchanging information with the forces behind them. At this moment, it seemed that only one agent came, but in fact there was an entire analysis team of forces standing behind them.
Under the information secretly released by Asakura Makoto, the grievances between this collector, Haneda Hideyoshi and the animals have been put on the table of various forces who long for Pandora.
"The bargaining chip we gave is not just money." Miss Suzuki replied, "If that gem really has the power as rumored, my boss is willing to contribute to the elimination of a secretly illegal group."
Since the collector has a grudge against those gem hunters in the name of animals, using the disintegration of those people as a bargaining chip is undoubtedly the best choice.
"oh?"
After hearing this, Asakura seemed to be interested.
"Who is your boss?"
"About this, if you agree to the deal, I will tell you in private." Miss Suzuki saw his intention and answered with satisfaction.
Asakura's performance sent a signal that as long as the chips are correct, it is not a problem to buy Pandora directly. As for that chip, it may be the life of the zoo - anyway, these guys are criminals who do not abide by the law. In exchange for immortality, it can be regarded as using waste.
"Miss, isn't the famous Suzuki Consortium behind you?" The blond man with only one eye exposed suddenly asked, "Or are you just a clown pretending to be Suzuki?"
He gently stroked the bangs that covered half of his face to prevent them from being blown away by the evening breeze in the hall. His words did not conceal his hostility towards Miss Suzuki at all.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Asakura Makoto again.
"It's better to make a decision quickly. The wind has picked up. If the moon is covered again later, it will have to wait for a while. Long nights and dreams, right?" He said, "Since there is no first one, then it's up to me. How about a start?”
"Of course." Asakura nodded and watched him step forward.
This man's steps were steady, and he didn't reveal any flaws when faced with the armed men standing on either side of Asakura who were guarding him like outstretched wings.
The rest of the people were also nervously watching the approach between the two parties. They wanted to know how the collector would react at the moment when outsiders were about to confirm it, whether he would change his words or hand it over calmly.
The former shows that the gem in his hand is just a fake, while the latter confirms that it is probably true.
The blond man stood up in front of Asakura Makoto, stretched out his hand to ask for the gem, and at this moment——
"Bang", "ding"
First there was a gunshot, which made everyone present tremble instinctively, and then there was a crisp sound of impact, like a bullet hitting some kind of metal.
After the sound, they took a closer look...
But at this time, their eyes could not see anything of value.
Because the bullet hit was a special smoke bomb thrown from nowhere. Although the shot was stopped in time, the smoke that escaped could not be stopped.
In just the blink of an eye, the atrium was shrouded in thick white smoke, followed by the sound of several smoke bombs falling to the ground, and the fog in the field became a little thicker.
"what are you up to!?"
In the fog, the collector's frightened and angry voice came, making everyone's hearts tighten.
Did that guy take action? The word was "you", and the one who did it was undoubtedly the man who had just approached.
At this critical moment, they immediately prepared to act based on the scene in their memory. However, before they took the first step, they felt a blur in front of their eyes.
"There's hallucinogens in the smoke! Don't breathe!"
William Carter's voice came from the fog. This agent named embassy official, who was actually a CIA elite, showed his abilities.
"This is what spiders do." A woman's voice sounded. It was Bella, whose true identity was Moscato. She recognized this world-famous killer who was good at magic, hypnosis, and the preparation of hallucinogenic drugs. Illusionist.
"I didn't expect that group of beasts to sneak in."
At this moment, the explosives arranged by the blond man in the villa detonated one after another, and the smoke occupied the entire building along the passage. In the eyes of the police officers on duty outside, the villa was like violently boiling boiling water, with mist rising continuously.
Caught off guard, the number of gas masks could only satisfy a very small number of people in the villa, not to mention that they were not stored in the atrium where they were.
The smoke mixed with hallucinogenic drugs soon made most of the people in the villa immersed in morbid fantasies.
And the theoretical initiator of this moment, the killer codenamed Spider...
When the smoke obscured his vision and he was about to take action, Asakura Makoto removed his jaw first.
"who are you!"
Watching his expression change from ecstasy to panic, Asakura was dubbing the other person from the bottom of his heart. This obstructed view of the environment served as a stage for him to play multiple roles, creating a scene in which the real thing was fake and the gem was stolen.
He tore off the disguise on his face, and then in Spider's horrified eyes, Asakura became exactly like him.
"I originally planned to put the blame on Kidd, but who is more suitable for you." He casually broke the neck of the famous killer and dragged his body down while the smoke was still lingering.
