Chapter 660: Chapter 652: Hard to Handle? Then Don’t Handle It!

What is Niuniu Archipelago?

It’s merely a coalition of islands located at sea that has become a nation in the last two years, and it has even established diplomatic relations with Dragon Country.

However, this newly established emerging nation doesn’t have much of a reputation internationally, and everything domestically is an unknown.

At this moment, inside the Niuniu Archipelago’s foreign office in Dongfang Capital City Center, someone was on the phone.

"Yes, yes, Elder Qin, I have arrived in Dongfang Capital, and I’m currently at Niuniu’s foreign office!"

"I hope all the documents have been delivered to you. There should be nothing left for me to do on Long Kun’s end, after all, I have put a lot of effort into gathering all that information."

"Yes, yes, I know this matter means a lot to you, considering that what Long Kun has done over the years has indeed been somewhat excessive. I understand that you can’t stand to watch and decided to intervene. Let’s have a pleasant cooperation!"

After hanging up the phone, the person couldn’t help but remark, "The infamous Dragon Lord of Longdu is finally going to "clean up and sleep," huh..."

Then, he looked down to check the time.

"It’s evening, and the time agreed for the transaction has arrived."

Yes, the agreed time for the transaction was now.

He looked down from the foreign office and heard the sound of cars stopping.

The people from First Auction House had arrived!

But were the only ones who came really just from First Auction House?

"Boss, the people you named are here!"

"I’ve told you before, while we’re at the foreign office, you need to address me by another title!"

"I’m sorry, Your Majesty the King, your subordinate is somewhat accustomed to the other address."

"No matter, let’s teach our guests a lesson!"

The boss, who is also the King, is the supreme ruler of Niuniu Archipelago.

At this moment, he picked up a golden mask and put it on his head.

This mask symbolized the identity of the King, and only he could wear it in the entire Niuniu Archipelago.

At the same time, downstairs.

The foreign office of Niuniu Archipelago, simply called "Niuniu’s foreign office", naturally sounds quite funny.

Especially when the sign was hung at the entrance, it always caught the attention of passersby.

But at this moment, looking at the sign in front of him, Zhang Dihu’s expression was not good.

"Brother, I’ve arrived at Niuniu’s foreign office. What kind of weird name is that, no matter how I read it, it just feels awkward!"

"Yes, yes, I understand we absolutely cannot lose the Heart of the Ocean, but we still have to go through the necessary procedures. I’ll go meet this diplomat!"

"You just relax, I know the score. Even if they are diplomats, I can still handle them without escalating to a diplomatic problem!"

Zhang Dihu ended his conversation with Zhang Tianlong then nodded at the representative from the First Auction House, who immediately picked up a carry-on safe and stepped out of the car.

"Everyone, come out!"

Zhang Dihu waved his hand again, and his subordinates stepped out of the other cars one after another, each looking fierce and aggressive, clearly here to stir up trouble.

"Lord Tiger, the brothers are all ready. Should we bring out the tools?"

"What kind of tools did you bring?"

"The kind that stabs people, the kind that can punch holes in people, we brought everything!"

"Then bring them, but remember, be discreet. After all, this place is technically Niuniu Archipelago’s foreign office, which means we’re on their turf on paper!"

After thinking it over, Zhang Dihu still decided to have his men bring all the tools.

Upon hearing this, all the subordinates snickered.

Someone else’s turf? What a joke!

In Dongfang Capital, there was no one their boss couldn’t handle!

Immediately, all the brothers concealed their tools on their person and followed Lord Tiger and the auction house representative, escorting the Heart of the Ocean towards the foreign office.

At the entrance of the foreign office stood two dark-skinned men.

When they saw Zhang Dihu and the others approaching, they asked in very fluent Dragon Country language:

"May I ask if you are from First Auction House?"

"Yes, I am the person in charge of the auction, here to deliver the Heart of the Ocean to the buyer!"

"Why did you bring so many people?"

"After all, the Heart of the Ocean is a valuable jewel, so we brought a few extra people for security, just in case."

"Oh, is that so? Then you are all security personnel?"

"Yes."

"Alright, His Majesty the King has ordered it, so please, go in."

The two stepped aside, allowing Zhang Dihu and his group to enter.

"His Majesty the King?"

Zhang Dihu also took note of this figure.

Clearly, this king, who could casually produce 10 billion, must be no small figure on Blue Star.

The group marched grandly through the main gate, arriving at the lobby of the external office.

The lobby was large and spacious, with many people standing around.

Zhang Dihu didn’t care about the people on both sides; what he cared about was the person in front of him – a figure in a black robe, wearing a golden mask, surrounded by a crowd in the center.

"Are you the king of the Niuniu Archipelago?"

"Indeed, it is I!"

The king’s voice surprised Zhang Dihu; it sounded familiar.

The auction manager was equally surprised, because the voice sounded too young, as if it belonged to a young man.

He had thought this so-called king would be an old geezer.

"Did you bring the Heart of the Ocean?"

Seeing the king ask this, the manager immediately took out a briefcase and input the password to open it.

In an instant, a dazzling indigo gemstone, the Heart of the Ocean, shone brilliantly, lighting up the entire place.

"Hmm, it’s the genuine article!"

The king also gestured, "Bring the money!"

Several external office staff immediately carried several large chests into the lobby.

"Here we have diamonds worth 200 million; you can check their quality any time!"

The chests were opened simultaneously, emitting a brilliance so intense that it was blinding.

Although the manager had seen many big deals before, this was his first time seeing chests full of diamonds.

Zhang Dihu was unfazed, but the underlings behind him all widened their eyes, as if they couldn’t look away even if they wanted to.

"Not bad, these are all real deals; my eyes tell me there’s no problem!"

The manager also played his part well, taking a careful look before confirming that the diamonds were real.

"Then good, let’s exchange the money and the goods!"

The king waved his hand, and a subordinate started to walk over to take the Heart of the Ocean.

But just then, Zhang Dihu made his move.

He closed the briefcase first and then stepped on it, shouting to the people in front of him, "Hold on!"

"What is the meaning of this?"

"Mr. King, no need to rush. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhang Dihu, I’m from the Zhang family of Dongfang Capital. I’m here to see Your Majesty just to have a little chat."

"What, is the auction house planning to break the rules?"

Pressure instantly fell on the manager.

"Mr. King, our auction house naturally follows the rules. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have brought the Heart of the Ocean here. But as you know, the Heart of the Ocean is worth—no, now it’s a rare jewel worth 10 billion. With both buyer and seller to consider, we have to take care of both sides!"

"So you’re saying this gentleman is the original owner of the Heart of the Ocean?"

"Exactly, the Heart of the Ocean has always belonged to our Zhang family. Now that you want to take it from us, that is a bit irregular, isn’t it?"

Zhang Dihu spoke with a domineering tone and examined the person in front of him closely.

Unfortunately, the other party was covered in a black robe from head to toe and masked, so he couldn’t make anything out.

"I only know the rules of the auction are that the highest bidder wins. Since I offered the highest price, I naturally won the bid for this item. But you not delivering the goods makes it difficult for me!"

Saying this, the king gestured again, and the staff moved the chests full of diamonds away.

Seeing the diamonds disappear, the manager and his underlings still seemed somewhat reluctant.

"You don’t think, sir, that just because you spend some money you can take our family’s property away, do you? This puts us in a difficult position!"

"Difficult, is it?"

Who would have expected, the king sneered, "Since it’s difficult, then don’t bother with it!"

After he spoke, he made another hand gesture.

In an instant, the staff members all unfastened their work clothes and pulled out weapons from their waists, pockets, and even from beside the potted plants.

Guns, and they were all the real deal.

Zhang Dihu’s men saw this and were going to draw their own weapons.

"Don’t move, or we shoot!"

But before they could act, these "staff members" had already aimed their gun barrels at their necks.

They had pistols in hand, while the others had submachine guns, and automatic rifles. You’d shoot one bullet, they’d shoot back a dozen, there was no comparing the firepower.

"Mr. King, what is the meaning of this!"

Seeing direct weapons drawn on the other side that were bigger and harder than their own, Zhang Dihu immediately panicked.

He thought to himself that these guys really didn’t want to live, bringing so many weapons. What were they planning to do?

"Mr. Zhang, before I answer your question, there are a few things I need to tell you."

"What things?"

"Do you know to whom the Heart of the Ocean really belongs?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Dihu didn’t understand and even looked a little stunned.

"The Heart of the Ocean has always belonged to the Lion Kingdom, it is the heirloom of the royal family. However, 100 years ago, the royal son of the Lion Kingdom, who was also the son of the King, suddenly got a wild idea. He decided to give up the life of luxury and went to travel the world with his wife, taking the Heart of the Ocean with him. Sadly, their ship encountered a storm near the Niuniu Archipelago and tragically sunk. That’s when the Heart of the Ocean was lost."

"A few years later, an adventure from Dragon Country came to the Niuniu Archipelago, he salvaged the sunken treasures near the wreckage of the ship, which included the Heart of the Ocean. With this salvaged treasure, he accumulated a significant fortune for himself. He and his descendants started to build their wealth and formed one of the great families in Dongfang Capital!"

As the King spoke, his eyes beneath the mask turned to Zhang Dihu, "Mr. Zhang Dihu, I presume you know who that adventurer from Dragon Country is, right?"

"He is my great-grandfather, my father’s grandfather... No, wait, what does this have to do with you?"

"Of course, because your great-grandfather stole the Heart of the Ocean from our Niuniu Archipelago and took it to Dragon Country without permission, and his actions constitute theft!"

"You’ve got to be joking, that happened 100 years ago, you..."

"Sorry, but the laws of Niuniu Archipelago dictate that even if it was 100 years ago, anything taken from our land without official transaction documents is considered theft."

As the King spoke, he walked up to Zhang Dihu and then gave him a shove.

With a shove, Zhang Dihu staggered several steps backward and could only watch helplessly as the person in front of him picked up the briefcase.

"Such strength, to be able to push me so easily!"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang Dihu, for helping us the Niuniu Archipelago recover our lost treasures, we appreciate it!"

As the King spoke, he then turned to look at the person in charge of the auction.

"Actually, if you had chosen to exchange the money for the goods directly from the start, none of this would have happened!"

The manager tasted bitterness in his mouth, but there was nothing he could do.

It was Zhang Dihu who decided on taking action, not him.

And he had not expected that the people from Niuniu Archipelago would be so tough, bringing so many weapons directly.

"Mr. King, even if you can take away the Heart of the Ocean, you’ll definitely not make it out of Dragon Country with so many weapons. Be careful..."

"You should be the one to be careful!"

Zhang Dihu wanted to voice a threat, but the King laughed instead.

"Mr. Zhang Dihu, you still don’t understand the situation, do you? What’s awaiting you is the trouble!"

As the King spoke, he raised a finger, "First, you are suspected of stealing Heart of the Ocean and have been arrested!"

"Second, you are suspected of cross-border trading and money laundering, with Heart of the Ocean being one of your money-laundering tools, so you are also suspected of international crime and have been arrested!"

"Third, you committed armed violence in the diplomatic office of an allied country, which is a blatant provocation against the peace agreement of the Blue Star Alliance, so you have been arrested!"

"So with three offenses combined, you need to take a trip with these agents from the International Crime Investigation Department!"

"What, the International Crime Investigation Department?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dihu was instantly stunned.

What was going on here, why were the International Crime Investigation Department involved?

"Oh, did I not mention it to you? My apologies."

As the King spoke, he turned to a bald man nearby, "Mr. Makarov, you can take action now!"

The bald man walked up to Zhang Dihu and showed his ID.

"Mr. Zhang Dihu, you are being officially arrested by our International Investigation Department for being suspected of three major international crimes!"

A pair of silver handcuffs was clamped directly onto Zhang Dihu’s wrists, leaving him completely dumbfounded.

"Impossible, the International Crime Investigation Department has no enforcement power in Dragon Country!"

"This is the Office of the Niuniu Archipelago, located within Dragon Country’s jurisdiction, theoretically making it our Niuniu Archipelago’s territory, and we actively cooperate with the International Crime Investigation Department. So, your rebuttal has no support!"

Zhang Dihu’s words were easily dissipated by the King.

"Oh, right, these people are also suspected accomplices of theft, please take them away too, Mr. Makarov. Not one should be left behind, thank you."

"No problem, we deployed so many people just to bring this criminal gang to justice. Handcuff them all!"

With a grand gesture, the people around him equipped with gear instantly pulled out handcuffs and clamped them on every single one of Zhang Dihu’s people, including the auction house manager.

"I... I’ve been wronged..."

The auction house manager began to cry. Who the hell did I provoke to deserve this?

"I told you, if you had just agreed to pay the money and hand over the goods simultaneously, none of this would have happened. But you wouldn’t agree, right?"

At this moment, the King approached the manager, his tone full of sympathy.

Of course, he knew these people would never let him walk away with the Heart of the Ocean so easily, which is why the International Crime Investigation Department agents were already lying in wait here.

"So next, we’ll be taking these people to the international court."

"Mr. Makarov, there’s a transport helicopter on the rooftop. Feel free to use it. That way, it will be more convenient for you to come and go. Oh, and I’ve already filed the flight request. You won’t face any obstructions taking off now!"

"Mr. King of Niuniu Archipelago, you really do think of everything!"

The bald man erupted in hearty laughter upon realizing the King had even prepared a transport helicopter.

"Take them away!"

He overpowered Zhang Dihu, and the other agents started escorting all of Zhang Dihu’s minions towards the upstairs.

"Wait, Mr. Makarov. Could I have a few words with Lord Tiger?"

"Hmm, since you’re the one who helped us catch them, of course you can."

Makarov gestured with his hand, and he and his men halted.

"You call me Lord Tiger, so you’ve known about me for a long time?"

"Of course, I’m quite familiar with you all!"

The King said, walking right up to Zhang Dihu and then nodding at Makarov.

The latter immediately turned away, not looking at the two of them.

The King reached up and removed his mask.

"Holy shit, it’s actually you!"

Seeing the face beneath the mask, Zhang Dihu was so agitated that he almost bit his tongue.

After putting the mask back on, the King approached Zhang Dihu.

"Lord Tiger, let me speak the truth to you. This time you are truly done for. Awaiting you is a trial by the international court, and the theft charge is being brought by our Niuniu Archipelago. Money laundering is under the purview of the International Financial Crime Department, and your armed robbery will be handled by the International Crime Investigation Department. In short, with these three charges, you won’t escape any of them. You’ll spend the rest of your life in a foreign prison!"

"That’s a joke, how will you prove these things have anything to do with me? I can spend money to hire lawyers; there are plenty of international lawyers at my disposal!"

"Lord Tiger, Lord Tiger, has your brain gone fuzzy? International courts aren’t like the domestic ones; domestically, the burden of proof is on the accuser, but in international courts, they make the allegations, and you have to prove yourself unrelated to the charges."

With that said, Zhang Dihu’s pupils contracted slightly.

"Lord Tiger, you’re panicked, aren’t you? Because you have no way to prove you’re uninvolved with these issues. To investigate you, I’ve even gone through your Zhang Family’s genealogy several times. I can tell you as an international lawyer that you’re completely finished this time. Not even your brother, Zhang Tianlong, can save you!"

Having said this, the King patted Zhang Dihu’s shoulder and leaned in to whisper in his ear again.

"I have one more small question, though, I’ll tell you upfront that I already know most of the answer, so it doesn’t really matter whether you respond or not."

"I want to ask you about your father, Zhang Tianyan, he should have had four sons, right? Your family’s third son, does he have any descendants somewhere?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Dihu’s pupils sharply contracted once again.

Because what the man in front of him mentioned was a closely guarded secret of the Zhang Family!

But the other party had already said that he knew the answer.

"Impossible, we don’t even know about the family affairs of the third brother, his descendants, how could you..."

"But I do know, and I have no desire to share with you!"

The King no longer glanced at Zhang Dihu; instead, he nodded at Makarov.

"Take him away!"

At his command, the agents led all the captives, including Zhang Dihu, up the staircase.

Soon after, a transport helicopter took to the skies, whisking Zhang Dihu and the others away from Dragon Country!
