A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 72 Eavesdropping on him? Who has such a heavy taste?
Mid-August, Brooklyn, New York.

Today, Amei is still doing quite well, without the many messy things that happened later, and overall it has a sense of being thriving.

But in the poorer parts of Brooklyn, signs of decline were already emerging, with groups of gang members gathering everywhere.

They brazenly took out several empty beer bottles and placed them far away, then took turns shooting them with handguns in the street as a form of entertainment and gambling.

Or it could be buying and selling flour openly and honestly, even allowing you to bargain.

Fortunately, it's broad daylight, so as long as you don't provoke or disturb them, the gang members naturally won't come looking for trouble.

Huang Tiekou looked at Xu Lie with dissatisfaction: "Why did you make me come along too?"

"If you're looking for Old Tang, can't you also use divination to find people?"

“Your status is much higher than mine now, and with the support of the Source Fortress, finding Old Tang won’t be a problem.”

"Given my current status, it would be very difficult for me to divine Old Tang's fate. After all, he is the Dragon King."

Old Tang, whose full name is Ronald Tang, is ostensibly a poor Chinese man living in Brooklyn who makes a living as a bounty hunter by taking on strange missions on hunter websites.

In reality, he is Norton, one of the four kings of the dragon race, the King of Bronze and Fire.

It's just that because it hatched ahead of time and took human form, its past memories were temporarily sealed, which is why Old Tang, a mortal personality, was born.

Regardless of whether Old Tang has lost his memory or not, his status as the Dragon King is undeniable, and Huang Tiekou admits he cannot divine for him. He was originally on vacation, enjoying a relaxing and fun-filled time outside.

As a result, the original body found him in the blink of an eye and asked him to accompany him on his journey to find Old Tang.

The clone that parasitizes Huang Tiekou still longs for a vacation.

Xu Lie ignored his clone's appeals. He felt he was already a conscientious main body and didn't make his clone 007 work for long.

Furthermore, they didn't let one of their clones spend forty-two years in prison, just waiting for an opportunity.

"It's inconvenient for me to demonstrate the spatial teleportation ability of the deception talisman to Lao Tang, and I don't want to spend a lot of spiritual energy to teleport Lao Tang with me."

"But that guy is a complete directionally challenged person, and he's likely to get lost when he's alone. You just need to guide him."

Huang Tiekou wanted to try again: "Can't we have the other clones come and lead the way?"

“No discussion.” Xu Lie and Huang Tiekou stopped at an intersection, and Xu Lie raised his chin slightly towards the apartment building across the street: “Old Tang is in 302. I found out from Yuanbao through divination.”

"Wait for me for a while."

Now that things had come to this, Huang Tiekou didn't waste any more words and obediently helped keep watch.

Xu Lie then took the opportunity to perform a divination: "Besides us, there are others monitoring Ronald Tang. Besides us..."

The divination results indicated that, apart from Xu Lie, no one was monitoring Lao Tang anymore.

Xu Lie was still uneasy. He hadn't forgotten that in the original story, Lu Mingze's three-person nanny team kept track of Lao Tang's movements at all times.

Especially at this point in time, with the new semester approaching at Kassel College, the other party must be paying even more attention to Lao Tang. How could no one be monitoring him?
Xu Lie came here this time prepared to confront the other party head-on, so he had to be careful before taking action.

Xu Lie changed the subject: "There are electronic devices monitoring Lao Tang, there are electronic..."

This time, the divination gave a positive result, which made Xu Lie realize that it was most likely Lu Mingze's people who were secretly monitoring Lao Tang through locators, listening devices, and the like.

To prevent this amnesiac dragon king from slipping out of our control.

Come to think of it, Old Tang may have lost his memory, but he won't forget some of his instincts. Perhaps he can detect his stalker with his mysterious sixth sense.

Using electronic devices is a safer approach than sending people to track them.

If that's the case, then things are much easier.

Xu Lie didn't stop. He led Huang Tiekou across the street, into the apartment building, and down the old, blackened stairs to the door of apartment 302. He then began to knock roughly on the door.

"Coming! Who is it?! Stop knocking, or you'll have to pay for the broken door!"

A moment later, the door opened, and Old Tang, with a stubble beard, appeared behind it. He was quite unkempt, wearing a white, plain cotton vest and jeans. The main problem was that the upper left and lower right sides of the white vest were stained with bright red oil stains, and you could even smell the spicy beef instant noodles and beer.

Old Tang seemed carefree and unsuspecting towards Xu Lie and his companion, but he was secretly on guard. Two complete strangers suddenly knocking on the door—something was not right.

Oh no, I should have brought a gun to open the door. How can I trick them into turning around and going back to their room to get the gun?

Perhaps closing the door directly would work? The other side might not be able to react in time!

"Ahem." Xu Lie's current eyesight was certainly sharp enough to see Old Tang's wariness. After all, he was a bounty hunter, and he couldn't be too naive.

However, he was confident that he could gain Lao Tang's trust the fastest.

Xu Lie stretched out his hand, and as if by magic, suddenly a colorful array of US dollars appeared in his hand, especially the portrait of Franklin on them, which was extremely attractive.

Sure enough, Old Tang was like a fish that had taken the bait, his eyes fixed on the US dollars, unable to look away.

He had been grabbing the doorknob, ready to slam the door shut, but now, with a burst of strength, he flung the door wide open: "Hahaha, you two brothers need something?"

Xu Lie handed the banknotes to Lao Tang, while lowering his voice to remind him, "You're being monitored and listened to. Don't bring your phone. Come with us."

"Of course, you can bring firearms. We understand that people in your line of work need to be more cautious."

"?" Old Tang blinked, seemingly incredulous that someone would eavesdrop on a big, lazy man like him who stayed home all year round.

Who is it that has such a heavy taste?

Hiss! Old Tang was suddenly reminded of the tense situation in his area, where there were quite a few gang members.

I've also heard that many gang leaders have rather strong tastes, and they don't discriminate between meat and vegetables. Could it be...?

Old Tang was quite happy when he received the money, but now that he has more thoughts, he's getting nervous again.

"Wait a minute! Coming right away!" Old Tang didn't close the door, and walked back to his room with slightly flustered steps. He looked around, but damn it, the messy house full of clutter didn't have a listening device in sight.

Scratching his head again, Old Tang finally found his wallet among a pile of pants, preparing to put the cash he had just received inside: "Huh?"

"Where's the money in my wallet? When did I spend it? Never mind, I'll just put it in."

He then casually pulled out a dagger and an automatic pistol before finally mustering his courage to return to the entrance hall, looking at Xu Lie with suspicion and uncertainty.

"you?"

Without saying a word, Xu Lie opened his hand, revealing the same amount of banknotes.

Old Tang couldn't put it down because of its colorful appearance!

Wow, that's really generous! What a big spender!

Old Tang no longer suspected anything, took the money and hurriedly followed: "Brothers, is there something you need from me?"

"Did you find me through a hunter website?"

This was the only reason Old Tang could think of; otherwise, he wouldn't bother saying such things. A rich man who paves the way with money has absolutely nothing to do with him.

At first, Lao Tang felt that the Hunter website was unethical, as it was secretly selling their residential addresses, which was a serious invasion of their privacy.

Unfortunately, after receiving the money twice in a row, Lao Tang put this idea out of his mind. "Selling well, selling well, Hunter website!"

If it's a wealthy guy like that, Lao Tang wouldn't object if the hunter website sold his personal information a few more times.

Xu Lie did not answer, but carefully performed a divination again to confirm that there were no electronic devices listening or monitoring before looking at Lao Tang with relief: "Yes, we have a request."

"I need your help."
