The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 45

It was an old man in a straight dark suit, his white hair was combed neatly like silver threads, his face was covered with wrinkles, as if he had gone through vicissitudes of life, and he was leaning on his hand It is an umbrella.

"British!" The boss of the man in black was well-informed, and he had roughly guessed his origin after seeing the appearance of the old man blocking the road.Faced with this kind of person, the boss of the man in black had to be cautious,

Looking at the man in black in front of him, the old man in the suit smiled slightly, and said very calmly: "Philip Johnson, 34 years old, real estate salesman, married, father of two children. Shark, a famous bandit leader on the west coast of the United States, ten years ago He has gained fame and has completed 2 robberies so far, with an average of one crime every six months. The known robbery amount has accumulated to 4 million U.S. dollars. He was once listed as the tenth most wanted reward list by the US government, but he was quickly removed from the list. "

As he said that, the old man in the suit smiled slightly, and said to the boss in black: "Philip, you are a smart person. You know what you can take and what you can't take, and you know how much you should take. Philip, like you Why do people who know how to control themselves make such a big mistake today?"

"Take money from people and do things for them." Philip Johnson knew how terrifying the people in front of him were, but he never imagined how such a legendary figure would come to the United States from England. Cursed gems they don't like!

It was because he had done enough homework that Philip Johnson didn't think he would have much of a problem.

You know, in the eyes of the British, this is just an ordinary gem. They were able to borrow it from the UK to the United States, which shows that this gem is not in the eyes of some special people.

In the eyes of the person in charge of the British Museum of Natural History, the saying of being cursed is nothing more than giving gemstones a cultural color, which can attract the attention of visitors.

They believe that people have always associated precious stones with various legends, and that all a gem owner has to do is describe it as cursed or lucky, and the story of the gem travels through history one after another. A person continues.

The above sentence comes from the mouth of the head of the mineralogy department of the British Museum of Natural History.

Of course, for his statement, Edward's 77-year-old grandson Indiana Jones said that his family believes in it.

"My mother would never touch a gemstone," Jones said, "and she advised us not to touch it either."

The Jones family is very smart in the underground world, especially the famous Indiana Jones. Such a person has experienced countless adventures in his life. Even now that he is very old, with him in charge, the Jones family is still empty. Dare to provoke, even if their family has no successors.

It was precisely because he knew that the British Museum of Natural History and the Jones family didn't care about this cursed gem that Philip Johnson dared to spread the muddy water, and the money given by the person behind him was too generous, so Johnson couldn't help being moved.It's just that he didn't expect that the people he least expected to see still appeared in his eyes.

"You did a good job, Philip. You didn't use any special abilities this time. The people in the museum don't care about the loss of this ordinary gem, but I am different. I have my own responsibility for this gem. So please let her stay, okay?" The old man in the suit spoke very sincerely, as if he was talking to a friend of his own.

Philip knew who those people the old man was talking about. The Los Angeles Museum of Natural History can stand today not because of the guards and the alarm system arranged layer by layer. The people with special abilities in him are guarding the museum. people.

It's just that those people exist in the deep layer of the underground museum, the most valuable thing in the guardian museum, as long as there is no someone peeping at the things they are guarding, and it is not someone using special abilities, or a large-scale robbery. They won't do it if they want to plunder the museum's treasures.

It is precisely because of the indifference to those cursed gemstones that they are placed in the outermost layer of the underground treasure house. In addition, Philip Johnson did not use his special abilities, and they are also very restrained in the museum. Only took five gems.

Although these five gemstones were worth a lot in the market, they were not considered by those people. As for the other guards who were killed, they never regarded these people as their own.

Of course Philip knows that the old man in front of him is the same existence as those people. If he takes a forcible action, he is not the opponent's opponent. It is because the old man in the suit knows this that he uses words to break down Philip Johnson's resistance. .

Philip Johnson suddenly felt in a trance, subconsciously going to take out the gems on his body, but when he came into contact with the cursed gems, he suddenly shivered and woke up.Looking up, Philip Johnson looked at the old man in the suit with horror in his eyes.

After changing hands for a while, usually some old revolvers were pulled out, and the muzzle was pointed at the old man in the suit in front of him.

"Why are you doing this? You know, the thing in your hand doesn't pose much threat to me." There was a trace of pity in the eyes of the old man in the suit, and he said to Philip Johnson: "As long as you will Hand over the gem, and I promise you can leave as you please."

The words of the old man in the suit made Philip Johnson look dazed, but this time he struggled out quickly, and then shot the old man in the suit without any hesitation.

There was a "bang" gunshot, and it spun out of the barrel rapidly, shooting towards the heart of the old man in the suit.

However, despite the extremely fast speed of the bullet, the old man in the suit still had time to shake his head gently, picked up the umbrella in his hand, and suddenly opened it. With a "ding", it was blocked and fell to the ground, but the old man in the suit put away the umbrella in his hand again. When he was running, he found that Philip Johnson had turned around and fled backwards!

With a slight smile, the old man in the suit was about to chase Philip Johnson, but before he could take a step, a man in black suddenly flashed out from the side, threw a grenade at the old man in the suit, and then flashed again instantly Walk.

The old man in the suit subconsciously opened the umbrella in his hand, but the exploding grenade only emitted a puff of smoke, covering his whole body in it, and there was no reaction.

As soon as he heard the sound of the grenade exploding, the old man in the suit knew that he had been deceived. He waved the umbrella in his hand vigorously, and a gust of wind blew by, and the thick smoke quickly dispersed, but at this time, Philip Johnson had disappeared figure.

"I knew you would make a shot." The old man in the suit seemed to know who the person who made the shot was, he smiled softly, and chased after the person who made the shot.At this time, he didn't seem to care at all about the loss of the cursed gem.

Standing on top of a tall building, Ling Xiao could clearly see the movements between the boss in black and the old man in a suit, but he really couldn't hear anything about the conversation between the two, but he could guess that the relationship between the two There was nothing good to say.Instead, it was the person who appeared behind that aroused his interest.

Seeing the old man in the suit chasing after the person who appeared behind him, Ling Xiao knew that when he was about to make a move, the direction the old man in the suit was heading was obviously the boss of the man in black walking towards each other, and now he just waited for the two to pull Drive far enough away, Ling Xiao will make a move immediately.

However, he is not the only one who thinks the same as Ling Xiao. On the tall building more than ten meters above the head of the man in black, a black shadow is silently jumping in the building, following closely The boss of the man in black.

The distance between this figure and the man in black has never been more than 20 meters. Even when he confronted the old man in the suit just now, this black figure was still lurking on the left and right. It was because the person who appeared behind didn't notice her existence.
