Chapter 425 Earn less than half a ton of gold a year, what are you fighting for with me? (3/3)
early morning.
Inside a luxury home on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
Hong Fei was sitting on the sofa wearing a bathrobe and watching TV.
Gabriel was far away at the other end of the sofa. The six wings behind her had been retracted into her body, but she was still wrapped in the piece of white satin. Her feet protruding from the satin were brought together and stepped on the edge of the sofa, her toes moving restlessly.
Move.
It seems that not only her appearance has become younger, but her personality has also reversed and returned to its original state.
Judging from her current image, she is already in her prime at the age of 20.
Hong Fei glanced at her from time to time.
I really hope to see young Gabriel with my most respected ancient mage.
After watching more, Gabriel seemed to have some sense. She turned her head quickly and met Hong Fei's eyes.
The next second, she swung her knees and retracted her feet.
Hong Fei raised his eyes and saw him staring at the TV intently.
Well, woman, you managed to get my attention.
On TV...
Analysis of the New York Federal Reserve Bank robbery is still hotly debated.
However, because Hong Fei caught one of the four major robbers a few days ago, both the New York City Police Department, the city government, and even the federal spokesperson maintained a positive and optimistic attitude towards this.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the positivity and optimism expressed by these people in TV interviews or speeches are all fake.
After all, their most important task is to give priority to appeasing the public's emotions and stabilizing their own support, and finally it is their turn to solve the case.
Correspondingly, because Hong Fei previously posted a video of picking up a mountain of gold, the sense of security of various countries in the custody of gold by the Federal Reserve has plummeted. So far, dozens of countries have wanted to take back their gold that has been entrusted to the federal custody.
On this point, it can be seen from every line in the news that the federal government is at odds with countries around the world.
Hong Fei could easily imagine the federation's idea.
The loss of more than two hundred tons of gold has become a fact.
Although there are still thousands of tons of gold in underground vaults, it is enough to fill the storage capacity of those countries.
But if all the gold is taken back to those countries now, and assuming that the stolen gold cannot be recovered in the future, won’t the Federation become the sole owner of the more than two hundred tons of stolen gold?
What are the components of the American Federation?
It is a habitual operation to benefit oneself at the expense of others. It is not uncommon to harm others even if it is not beneficial to oneself. It is not unprecedented to prefer harming oneself to harming others.
Under such circumstances, if they could admit themselves to be unlucky, it would definitely be super big news that would shock the world even more than the sun rising in the west and setting in the east tomorrow morning.
Now, it is estimated that they must have become a task force composed of various high-end elites, vowing to use various means to defeat the robbers and recover the stolen gold.
Even if they really get what they want, they will never admit that the gold was stolen in the end.
To this day, on TV, the New York City Police Department, Federal Reserve Bank executives, and even the White House spokesperson, when asked by the media, all denounce Hong Fei’s video as: “Fake news!”
This probably means: as long as I am shameless, it will be useless no matter what evidence you present.
It's an old tradition.
Hong Fei was unfazed by this.
"Arthur, contact Amanda."
"Okay sir."
A virtual screen flashed before his eyes, and Gabriel looked over curiously.
After a while, Amanda's dark face appeared on it. Her expression was so ugly that even Hong Fei couldn't help but frown.
Hong Fei could see her, but she couldn't see the situation on Hong Fei's side.
"Who are you?"
Hong Fei smiled slightly: "Oh, you forgot so soon?"
Hearing this voice, Amanda's eyes sharpened instantly. She sat up straight and looked at the computer and said, "Is it you? You actually dare to call me?"
Hong Fei still didn't like her and asked directly: "Wait a minute, let me ask, are you threatening me with this sentence?"
Amanda clenched her fists and swallowed back the words that just came to her mouth.
It seems that she has not forgotten Hong Fei's decisiveness and subsequent shocking actions last time.
Amanda didn't speak, but Hong Fei didn't let her go so easily.
"I'm asking you a question. Are you mute?"
Amanda gritted her teeth: "No, I'm not threatening you."
"Okay, I barely believe you once. Then the question is, do you want to make a deal?"
"you say."
"Give me the witch next to you, and I will give you fifty... no, twenty tons of gold."
The corners of Amanda's eyes twitched wildly many times.
First, I don’t know why Hong Fei got the news about the witch around her;
The second is that Hong Fei actually wants gold to trade for witches;
Third, Hong Fei actually reduced the gold price from fifty tons to less than half of twenty tons in front of her.
"This is impossible... I mean, do you think a witch is only worth twenty tons of gold?"
"I think it's about the same. Do you know how much twenty tons of gold is? Your whole life's salary combined is not enough. Is it still less?"
"Twenty tons of gold is indeed expensive, but since you know the existence of the witch, you should know that her value is far more than twenty tons of gold."
"That's not bad, but tell me, how much do you want?"
Amanda was silent and began to think rapidly in her mind.
Hong Fei added: "I know, you must have received tasks related to solving the case, but let's talk ugly first. With your salary level, you can't earn half a ton of gold a year, why are you fighting for my life? You might as well make a good deal with me, and from now on you will be popular, drink spicy food, and have fun in the club. You are not young, right? Don't treat yourself badly, life is short, enjoy yourself while you can!"
Amanda's face was so dark that she looked like she was about to hand out ink.
After a while, she said loudly: "Everyone, give me all the gold in your hands, and I will give you the witch."
"Oh~" Hong Fei exclaimed: "Your appetite is not small at all. More than 240 tons of gold, do you dare to want all of it?"
Upon hearing the numbers, Amanda, who already knew the amount of stolen gold, immediately pursed her lips.
At this time, she was completely convinced that Hong Fei was the biggest mastermind behind the robbery.
In fact, at this moment, she began to wonder whether Hong Fei was a high-level person within the federal system. Otherwise, she would not be able to explain why the other party knew that there was a witch around her.
"My appetite is indeed not small. The ability of witches far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people. More than two hundred and forty tons of gold is indeed an exaggeration, but I think it is definitely worth it for you to change to a unique witch in the world." Amanda said tentatively.
Hong Fei, however, seemed to respond directly without thinking at all: "That's good, but in this case, wouldn't the Jinshan I picked up with so much hard work be gone before I even warmed it up? It's hard for me to do this. .”
Amanda's face twitched.
Afterwards, Hong Fei struggled for a while and said, "Let's do this. I'll give you a hundred tons and you give me the witch."
"Too little, two hundred tons."
"Too many, one hundred and two."
"One hundred and nineteen."
"Can you show some sincerity?"
"Okay, one hundred and fifty tons."
"Okay, I can barely accept this price."
"How to deliver?"
"Simple, I'll give you an address, I'll wait for you with the gold, and you bring the witch to see me."
"good!"
"Then it's settled. I know you guys on duty always like to set up traps and ambushes, but I hope you don't do that this time, otherwise I will be very angry, and you probably don't want to see the result."
Amanda took a deep breath: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
"I gave you the address. You can leave now. See you in the evening!"
After that, the communication was cut off immediately.
Amanda immediately turned around and asked sharply: "Did you find it?!"
Suddenly, a row of employees stood up at the same time. The leader looked embarrassed and said with a low eyebrow: "Sir, the signal tracking failed. The other party's address has been rapidly switching between different locations around the world, and we are unable to locate it."
"Trash!" Amanda punched the table, the keyboard broke and the keycaps flew to the floor.
"Ask Colonel Frege to bring Dr. June over and tell the plane to prepare immediately!"
"yes!"
After walking out of the office with a gloomy face and entering the private space, Amanda took out the box and looked at the heart like a dead tree, her eyes changing for a while.
Then, she closed the box and held it under her hand, took out a new phone from the safe and quickly dialed it.
New York.
Gabriel blinked and asked curiously: "Boss, is that artificial intelligence?"
"Um."
"he is very smart?"
"Um."
"I have seen human movies. It is impossible for artificial intelligence to have a soul. In this case, can it still have feelings?"
Hong Fei turned to look at her: "Are you too busy?"
Gabriel shrugged, retracted his body and stopped asking.
Hong Fei said again: "You come with me tonight."
Gabriel: "Where?"
Hong Fei said without looking back: "Are you sure you want to know now?"
Noticing the vague coldness beside him, Gabriel quickly shook his head: "No, I don't want to, I'm free tonight."
Hong Fei stopped responding, he was adjusting his plan in his mind.
Now that he has successfully recovered some strength, and he is not one of those stubborn superheroes.
Then the original plan must change with the times and make timely adjustments.
If I still keep the original plan and do things slowly and step by step, then what is the use of all my strength?
Wouldn’t that become a water word count?
Despicable!
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and Deadshot walked in.
He came to Hong Fei's side, bent down and was about to speak.
Hong Fei said directly: "Speak directly, we are all our own. Although she is an angel, she is also your teammate now."
Deadshot couldn't help but look towards Gabriel.
No matter how powerful he is, he is still a mortal, so naturally he will not be without the slightest curiosity when facing an angel who is familiar to him since childhood.
Gabriel smiled and nodded: "Hello, I am Gabriel."
"Hello, I'm Deadshot...Hey, wait, who do you think you are?" Deadshot suddenly opened his eyes as he spoke.
Gabriel smiled mischievously: "I'm Gabriel, you must have heard of me, right?"
"Are you serious?"
"Of course." Gabriel sat and spread his three pairs of wings.
Deadshot stared blankly for a while. Although he had seen her wings last night, he and Killer Croc carried out Hong Fei's arrangement for Sionnis without even having time to think about it.
Looking back at it now, although I feel a little unbelievable, the facts seem irrefutable.
Not long after, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately turned to look at Hong Fei.
Since even the angel Gabriel is a subordinate, wouldn't the boss...
Hong Fei: "Get out! I'm not God!"
Deadshot blinked blankly.
Gabriel reminded from the side: "He is indeed not the God you think he is, but he is undoubtedly the only God in my heart now."
Hong Fei and Deadshot turned to look at her at the same time.
Deadshot's eyes darted back and forth, a strange light gradually rising in his eyes.
Gabriel turned his head shyly, and at the same time raised his hand to hold the hair around his ears.
Hearing Arthur's words "The recording has been completed and saved", Hong Fei licked his lips and looked back.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Deadshot composed himself and said: "Boss, Sionnis is about to die."
"Huh? This won't work?"
Deadshot's facial features wrinkled inward, and he said slowly and thoughtfully: "Boss, he doesn't have any intact skin and flesh on his body anymore, and now there are at least three living eels... in his body."
"Hiss..." Hong Fei suddenly took a breath of cold air.
He raised his head and stared at Deadshot, his eyes seeming to say: Are you a devil?
Deadshot also looked at him with an innocent face: Didn't you say that?
