Chapter 273 The Unbearable Secret

Near Tianwu power grid.

Facing the high martial artist Kerim, Fan Li felt powerless like never before. This guy's fighting ability was so amazing.

However, Kerim still has a warrior spirit, "Then, you should know the Four Noble Truths of Buddha."

Fan Li was confident, "I am very willing to teach you some Zen principles."

Kerim said calmly, "You'd better teach Miss Chloe, especially the Fourth Noble Truth, otherwise you will all die when we come back that night."

When Fan Li looked back at Chloe, Kerim was cold and arrogant, "I'll be here on time at sunrise."

Immediately, Kerim jumped and disappeared deep into the jungle in the blink of an eye.

When Fan Li stood up and patted the dust on his body, he turned around and left silently.

Chloe quickly followed, "Can I ask, what is the fourth noble truth?"

Fan Li didn't look back, "Buddha taught us the way to behave calmly and harmoniously."

Chloe was confused, "Why does Kerim want you to teach me this?"

Fan Li calmly said, "Okay, Chloe, one of them should be familiar to you."

He suddenly turned to look at Chloe, "No stealing!"

Chloe looked complicated, "What the hell!"

Fan Li narrowed his eyes, "What did you take?"

He didn't wait for Chloe's answer, but turned around and strode away.

Chloe stood blankly on the spot, lost in memories...

She was dressed in night clothes, sneaked into Xian's lair, arrived in front of the throne, pressed the button, and got the brocade box containing half of the divine coiled snake with the word "fire" engraved on it.

Inside the brocade box, there is indeed half a piece of divine coiled snake.

In Tianwu, when she realized what she was doing, she chased him into the tower and told Fan Li about it, Fan Li was speechless, "Not only did you steal Xian's things, but you were also his most valued treasure. No wonder..."

Fan Li was furious and said, "No wonder he will spare no effort to hunt you down!"

Chloe stopped the furious Fan Li, "I have my own reasons!"

Fan Li didn't believe it, "Oh, even if it is true, there must be more secrets."

He walked around Chloe and left, "Or should I understand that since we first met, everything you told me is all false!"

What he cares about is being cheated.

Chloe was more concerned about Fan Li's opinion, "It's not everything, Fan Li!"

Fan Li was irritated, "Chloe, stop playing tricks, stop lying, what I want to hear is the truth, the whole truth, nothing else!"

Hannah was alerted by Fan Li's angry roar and ran over, "I don't care what happened to you two, but you made too much noise and affected Tesla."

Fan Li's anger was still lingering, "Yes, wait until he finds out that Chloe's friend is looking for us, and this person is the person who almost killed us in the morning..."

He strode away, "Then it's not a problem to disturb!"

Hannah was shocked by Fan Li's attitude, "What do you mean?"

Fan Li turned around and looked at Chloe, "Go and ask Miss Chloe if that's her real name."

Chloe was silent, as if she was sorry, and didn't give in as usual.

Hannah raised a pause gesture, "Okay, shut up, if you two are just quarreling between lovers, then it's none of my business!"

Fan Li glanced at Hannah who had walked to Chloe, walked to the table and wiped the gun angrily.

Chloe was embarrassed, "He is not my lover..."

Hannah frowned and interrupted Chloe, "I don't care! No one cares!"

Fan Li almost applauded, "Yes, I don't care either."

The way Chloe looked at Fan Li was like a sad knife.

Hannah said seriously, "But if we get into trouble, it's none of my business. Now that you are all adults, can any of you tell me what happened?"

She glanced at the sulky Chloe and walked straight to Fan Li.

Fan Li was immersed in his work and didn't answer any questions at all.

Hannah simply turned sideways and looked at Chloe behind her.

Chloe crossed her arms and became angry, and rolled her eyes angrily, "The person who attacked us came for me because I threw half a plate from his employer."

She downplayed it.

Hannah was speechless, but still encouraged, "Very good, a good start. I guess he wants to go back."

Fan Li said loudly, "Shouldn't he?"

"Fan Li!" Hannah stopped Fan Li.

Then, she looked at Chloe again, "Now, Chloe, where is that plate?"

Chloe sat listlessly at the table in the back, silent.

Fan Li sarcastically said, "Chloe, now is not the time to drink coffee!"

Hannah threw the towel in her hand at Fan Li, "Well——"

Because she saw that Chloe was not using silent violence, but using a short knife to lift the heels of her riding boots.

Sure enough, under Chloe's heels, there was a layer of mechanisms bound by steel nails.

Hannah raised her eyebrows.

Fan Li was stunned.

Chloe took out something tightly wrapped in oil paper from the hollow heel mechanism.

When she opened it, her expression returned to its former glory, "Yes, it is in my hand. It has been with me since the day I left Xidu."

She raised the thing up, and it turned out to be half a snake coil, "And I swear, I would rather die than give it back to Xian!"

Hannah saw this and sighed, "Chloe, it's obvious what we do."

Chloe smiled disdainfully, "I agree, since Crime will appear again in the morning, we will let him disappear forever."

Fan Li stared at the half piece of snake plate in Chloe's hand, "No, we should return it to Crimea."

In his opinion, the property should be returned to its original owner.

However, Chloe suddenly jumped up excitedly, "No, I can't give it to him."

She held a short knife and pointed it at Fan Li and Hannah who followed, "No, I spent all my savings to fund this exploration!"

Her mood was hysterical, "Since this period of time, I have been living in the shadow of cannibals and dinosaur eggs every day, and I have to accompany Tesla to do his damn things, all for this!"

After Chloe vented her anger, she saw that Fan Li and Hannah were just staring at her, and she stabbed the knife on the table, feeling discouraged.

Fan Li calmed down a lot, "The gold on the plate isn't enough to go to a first-class restaurant, so what makes it so damn valuable?"

Chloe stared blankly at the snake coil in her hand, "Fan Li, the valuable thing is not the snake itself, phew... I have to find its other half."

Hannah frowned, "What would you do if you found it?"

Chloe sighed again, but her expression looked relieved and relaxed, "Huh...I will return both halves to Xian."

Fan Li didn't believe it and kept pressing closer and closer, "You're not giving Xian money to pay off your debt, are you? There are other reasons, right?"

Chloe had a strange look in her eyes and stepped back along the edge of the stage, "What I said is all true."

Hannah follows up, "But that's not all we want to know."

Chloe seemed to smile helplessly, "Oh, you have to believe me!"
