Chapter 538: Chapter 14: Dominance

The bikini-clad girls, showing ample skin, felt no embarrassment. They put down the fruit platters, divided into two groups, and stood by, waiting to attend to Jasons and Tang Zheng.

"Help yourself." The nobleman gestured, then removed his bathrobe, revealing his body in a swimsuit. Four bikini girls immediately knelt beside him, massaging his body and helping him relax.

"This old man sure knows how to enjoy life." Tang Zheng picked up a glass of fruit juice and took a sip. Having the Divine Guardian on him, he was not afraid of being poisoned.

At the boss’s command, four girls sat on Tang Zheng’s beach chair, helping him relax with their skilled massage techniques.

"Life is about adventure and pleasure. On this trip to Egypt, I will get Ramses’ tomb no matter what." Jasons spoke with resolute determination, his eyes fixed on Tang Zheng, "Name your price, I’ll buy that crown."

"Give me a price, I’ll buy that Book of the Undead." Tang Zheng didn’t want to lose the momentum. Even if he ran out of diamonds, he would dare to rob the London Bank if he had to, since they couldn’t catch him anyway.

"One hundred million." Jasons smirked disdainfully, but then froze at Tang Zheng’s response. "What did you say?"

"I said it’s a done deal." Tang Zheng flipped his wrist, and a handful of diamonds appeared in his palm, dazzling under the bright light.

"Go and get the book!" Tang Zheng picked up a diamond and slipped it into the girl’s **. She joyfully gave him a kiss, drawing envious looks from the other girls.

"Ha-ha, isn’t your heart moved by the page three girls from ’The Sun’, models, actresses? Don’t worry, we can negotiate the business slowly." Seeing that he couldn’t win over Tang Zheng with pounds, Jasons had to change tactics. "Are you determined to go?"

"Absolutely." Tang Zheng felt out his sun lounger, weighing the consequences of subduing Jasons.

Jasons’ eyes flickered as he sat upright.

"Your skills are impressive. But I can hire the whole French Foreign Legion." Like a lion ready to hunt, Jasons stared at Tang Zheng, "So give me a reason to let you into the exploration team."

"You should be giving me a reason. If you don’t give me the bible, I’ll take it myself." Tang Zheng was losing his patience. The longer he stayed in the Trojan Horse Game, the greater the risk.

"You’re too conceited!" After his frigid words, the four girls massaging Tang Zheng suddenly attacked. One pushed on his leg, trying to seize the handgun on his lower back, and another hammered at his crotch, while the masseuse at his temples gripped his head.

Tang Zheng felt the pain in his neck; they were trying to twist his spine. The fourth was even more cruel, pulling out a military knife hidden under the fruit plate, aiming at his heart.

These beautiful women were indeed models and actresses, and had appeared in various magazines, but their main task was to protect Jasons’ safety. Of course they were skillful, and Tang Zheng was no fool. Ordinary people may not notice, but he, having been enhanced, was all too familiar with muscle patterns.

"A bunch of ants." Tang Zheng didn’t dodge. He swung his left arm like a whip, hitting the knife-wielding woman’s chest, knocking her down and causing the woman aiming at his crotch to fall as well.

The woman holding his head turned red, her forearm muscles bulging, but she found that Tang Zheng’s neck was as hard as steel and she couldn’t shake him at all.

Jasons was so shocked his eyes nearly popped out. That woman’s arm strength could strangle an antelope...

Tang Zheng grabbed her brown hair and pulled down, knocking her onto the beach chair, and she passed out with her eyes rolling back.

The other bikini girls also took action, pulling out handguns hidden under the anti-slip mats and aiming at Tang Zheng, but they had no chance to fire.

Jasons had already retreated, trying to escape the battle circle, but it was too late.

Tang Zheng shot towards the billionaire like a hunting leopard while throwing the beach chair at the girls. By the time the dust settled, the unlucky Sir had become Tang Zheng’s human shield.

Tang Zheng’s body was immune to gunshots, but he wouldn’t tell anybody that.

"Drop your guns, or your boss will never be able to pay your salaries." A team of black clothed bodyguards rushed into the pool, but Tang Zheng didn’t care. He knew that Jasons had ordered the girls to bait him to distract his attention and increase the success rate of the attack. He wasn’t falling for it.

"What do you want?" Jasons kept his cool, maintaining his composure.

"Give me the Book of the Undead." Tang Zheng held his neck with one hand and took out a gun with the other.

"As the key, only I know how to use it, don’t forget I used to be Aima’s grandfather’s employer." Jasons replied without fear, laughing, "And to open the tomb, you need two ’keys’, one of which is in my hands."

"I can have my comrades interrogate for information." Tang Zheng maintained a poker face, inwardly annoyed, it seemed that he had to bring Jasons along.

"Kidnapping a billionaire? Ha, if I go missing, you will be pursued by many mercenaries to the death, forget about leisurely treasure hunting, because I’ve already put a price on my own head." Jasons, cunning and wicked, had considered all possible loopholes.

"Opening the Pyramid requires four keys; the Crown, the Book of the Undead, the Scepter, and the Golden Scarab." Jasons didn’t make any rash move and, after letting his bodyguards leave, continued his explanation. "We only have three now. If you leave me, you’ll get nothing."

"That’s not enough!" Tang Zheng’s tone was cold.

Jasons, although gentlemanly, has veins throbbed against his forehead displaying his anger. He hadn’t expected such a quick reversal of roles. He, one of UK’s top ten billionaires, was explaining and fighting for an adventure opportunity to Egypt to a mere commoner. It was too coarse for him!

"I just came across the whereabouts of the last item. Without me, there’s no way you all will be able to get it." Jasons pointed to a chair and asked, "May I sit?"

"No." Tang Zheng sat back in the beach chair, sipping on his juice. Jasons didn’t dare to move frivolously as the muzzle of a gun was pointed at his belly.

"With a billionaire’s support, your journey will be much easier. At least you needn’t worry about visa, meals, accommodation and the like." Jasons looked Tang Zheng in the eye, as if trying to see right through him, "Opening the tomb, there will definitely be casualties and many traps. Are you going to count on your inexperienced regular team members?"

Jasons had obviously come to know the composition of Tang Zheng’s team.

"Go and get my checkbook." Jasons spoke confidently, with a smile on his face. "I have a professional team and professional security personnel... about 60 Foreign Legion soldiers. How about that?"

"Seems good." Tang Zheng seemingly had no choice. Making a big shot billionaire an enemy would indeed cause trouble for the journey. He was not afraid of being hunted down, but what about the newbies? They wouldn’t stand a chance against professional soldiers.

"Take a swim." Jasons made a sign after receiving the checkbook and a pen from a bikini-clad girl and dismissed them. The girls jumped into the pool.

"Say which woman you like, or would you like their company?" Jasons was subtly performing a demonstration of power, trying to make Tang Zheng feel intimidated. But seeing that Tang Zheng didn’t even bat an eye in that direction, he raised his estimate of him and decided to compromise temporarily.

"So, I’m hiring you. How about 10 million British Pounds?" Jasons wanted to regain the initiative.

"Prepare gold and diamonds worth 20 million British Pounds for me, so you can secure a seat to Egypt."

"Sure." At this moment, Jasons finally demonstrated his domineering side. He didn’t care; that money was just a drop in a bucket to him. After Tang Zheng’s death, he could get it back as his real trump card hadn’t been played yet.

"Give me the Book of the Undead." Tang Zheng didn’t ask for the other key, fearing pushing Jasons too much. It wouldn’t be too late to interrogate after leaving the UK. Once the information is squeezed dry, he could simply dump the body into the Mediterranean. Who would find it?

"Alright."

"Have your personal assistant arrange the trip as soon as possible. Oh, and a friendly reminder, please bring more bodyguards!" Tang Zheng guessed that he probably wouldn’t need to lift a finger; Jasons would likely die at the hands of the mummy corpses.

By the time he saw Aima again, she had already recovered her golden hair and put on a canvas exploration suit, looking full of spirit and valour.

"Did that old thing give you a hard time?" Aima held Tang Zheng’s hand with concern. "That Victoria was bothering me throughout, I didn’t even have a chance to steal anything, it was annoying."

"Uh... so, your feelings were all an act then." Tang Zheng laughed. It seemed that Aima still had some schemes up her sleeve.

"Duh! He is my grandfather’s employer indeed, but he’s not a good person. I am not so naive as to be flustered by the encouragement of a tycoon." Aima suddenly cried out in excitement and began to cheer, "You actually got it! Are you 007?"

Instead of taking the Book of the Undead, Aima excitedly hugged Tang Zheng, she stood on tiptoes and her lips landed on his.

"Don’t get me wrong, it’s a thank you!" Aima’s cheeks flushed as she flipped through the Bible, constantly nodding, "Exactly it."

Jasons was a man of swift action and even more so for this Egypt trip that he had been waiting for over 30 years. Utilizing various resources, he was well prepared beforehand.

At three in the afternoon, everyone boarded a flight to Paris.
