Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

"Who is your boss? Why are you following me? Are you trying to steal these treasures from me?"

The man glanced at Jiang Hua, thought for a while, and finally nodded. "Our boss said that judging from your appearance, you must be tomb raiders. How could tomb raiders only bring out such a small amount of treasure? Besides, the things you took out are quite valuable, not to mention the things you didn't take out."

Jiang Hua listened to the men and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, wondering what the big brother's identity was.

"What is your leader's identity? Tell me now, or I'll leave one of your fingers behind."

As Jiang Hua spoke, he pulled out his weapon and pointed it at the men in front of him.

“Our eldest brother is the famous Zhang He here. Everyone calls him Brother Zhang. There’s no one within a hundred miles who doesn’t know our eldest brother’s name. You can’t tell you’re from around here, otherwise you wouldn’t be here selling these treasures.”

As the men spoke, they gave Jiang Hua a look of disdain, as if they were ashamed that she knew nothing.

Seeing that these people looked down on her, Jiang Hua didn't bother with them. Instead, she became interested in this Brother Zhang, since he seemed so familiar with these tricks.

Either he was a former tomb raider, or he has connections to these industries.

"So what kind of business does your Brother Zhang usually do? He doesn't just do these powerful and righteous things, does he?"

As Jiang Hua spoke, she looked at them with an expression as if they were pitiful ghosts.

It's as if they're complaining that they don't have any respectable professions.

Jiang Hua's words successfully stirred up their dissatisfaction, and they immediately straightened their backs and looked up at Jiang Hua.

"Our Brother Zhang has a legitimate job, it's so good it'll scare you to death if I told you, our Brother Zhang is..."

At this point, another man rushed over and touched the first man, stopping him from continuing.

The man realized he had said too much, so he immediately shut his mouth and said that no matter what the boy did, he would not tell Jiang Hua and the others what Brother Zhang's true identity was.

Jiang Hua couldn't help but become curious as she watched them.

"What exactly is Brother Zhang's legitimate job?"

Jiang Hua squatted down and squinted at the people in front of him, but they just pursed their lips and looked into the distance, completely ignoring whether Jiang Hua was in front of them or not.

"Brother, you have to be considerate of us laborers. If we keep talking like this, even if we survive here, we don't know if we'll survive with Brother Zhang."

Seeing their resolute expressions, Jiang Hua knew that they wouldn't say anything even if she forced them, so she let them go.

Watching them leave, Jiang Hua also started walking in the direction where Qin Feng and Yun were.

Now Qin Feng and Yun have dealt with a few people and those people are lying on the ground. No one expected that Qin Feng and Yun's strength would be so formidable.

"You've arrived, but these people won't tell me anything. Have you gotten any information from your side?"

Qin Feng waved excitedly to Jiang Hua as she approached.

Jiang Hua looked at the people lying on the ground for a while, then picked them up again.

"I asked them some questions, but I don't know if what they said is correct. I need them to answer my questions to confirm if what I heard before was true."

After Jiang Hua lifted the man up, he looked at Jiang Hua with a somewhat blank expression.

"I have a few questions for you. If you can answer them honestly, I'll let you go. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll break half of your little arms and legs."

Jiang Hua squinted at the men in front of him and said.

As he spoke, he pulled out tools from his pocket, ready to attack them. Seeing Jiang Hua's appearance, the men quickly waved their hands to indicate their surrender.

"What are you asking?"

They took two steps back, maintaining a safe distance from Jiang Hua.

"It's just some basic issues, there's no need to be too afraid."

As Jiang Hua spoke, she asked them the same questions she had just asked earlier.

And what they said this time was almost the same as what Jiang Hua had heard before, so Jiang Hua let them go.

After these people left, Qin Feng and Yun came to Jiang Hua's side.

“I’ve never heard of this Brother Zhang before. Should I ask my second uncle for you? After all, he’s lived here for a while and he should know something about him.”

Qin Feng raised his head and asked Jiang Hua in front of him.

"There's no rush. Besides, we don't know if your second uncle has any connection with this person. If he does, then asking your second uncle so rashly would be tantamount to courting death."

Although Qin Feng didn't believe that his second uncle was in cahoots with this Brother Zhang, he still had to be careful since Jiang Hua had said so, so Qin Feng could only nod.

"We'll go over to your second uncle's place later to sound him out and find out what this Brother Zhang is all about."

As Jiang Hua spoke, he led Qin Feng and Yun to another hotel to settle down. Now Jiang Hua was completely certain that there were no followers around.

Should we contact Lao Wang?

After Qin Feng had settled everything, he looked up at Jiang Hua and said...

"Let's get in touch. But we can't tell him our current address; it's better if we go somewhere else."

"After you've put all these things away, let's find a restaurant to sit down and wait for him. After all, we still need to discuss this matter with him properly."

Old Wang is, after all, a local, so he must know something about Brother Zhang.

After arriving at the restaurant, they ordered some dishes at random. Now, Qin Feng and Yun were both cautiously looking around.

They seemed afraid that someone around them might attack them.

Seeing how cautious Qin Feng and Yun were, Jiang Hua couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

"You don't need to worry so much. If someone around us is deliberately observing us, you probably won't even notice. Just be careful, don't make it look like you're here to steal something."

After hearing Jiang Hua's words, Qin Feng and Yun realized just how lewd their actions had been.

So they smiled sheepishly.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry I'm late. I just came from my second uncle's place and it took me a little while. Why did you call me here in such a hurry?"

Old Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Jiang Hua, Qin Feng, and the others.

After seeing Old Wang appear, Qin Feng and Yun both chose to keep quiet.

After all, they were afraid of saying the wrong thing and arousing Old Wang's suspicion. (End of Chapter)
