Chapter 57: Jack is Stunned!

The Golden Triangle is located at the junction of three Southeast Asian countries. To travel there from China, one must cross the border through Yunnan Province.

After a day-long high-speed drive to the Yunnan border, Chen Feng crossed the border line on a motorcycle taxi.

To cross the border quickly, one had to weave through mountain paths on a motorcycle taxi.

This smuggling route has also been the most frequently chosen path by those involved in telecom fraud from China in recent years.

Faced with this method of smuggling, the state is unable to completely eradicate it. Yunnan is filled with vast mountains, which makes the border situation extremely complex; it is impossible to station guards at every single location.

Even if a Great Wall were built along the border, it could not stop those who are determined to go out and "make a fortune."

Just as he crossed the border, Jack arrived with his subordinates to pick him up. There were a total of over a dozen vehicles, making for quite a grand display.

Upon seeing Chen Feng, Jack and his group of subordinates bowed in unison.

"Hello, Boss!"

The residents of the border city cast curious glances toward them. It was rare to see so many foreigners showing such respect to a single Chinese man.

Chen Feng said nothing and walked straight into the business van, with Jack hurrying to follow him inside.

Once inside the vehicle, Chen Feng said to Jack, "Don't do this kind of formality in the future."

Seeing that Chen Feng seemed dissatisfied with the arrangement, Jack hurriedly said, "I understand, Boss. It definitely won't happen again."

The reason Jack had brought so many subordinates to welcome Chen Feng was primarily because he had been "doing his homework" lately, watching various Hong Kong gangster movies. He thought that people from China liked such displays of prestige, so he had prepared this special reception ceremony.

It seemed now that his boss did not like it.

"How are things going for you here?" Chen Feng asked.

Jack, who was busy contemplating what Chen Feng might actually like, immediately gave an account of his situation.

According to Jack, after he brought his subordinates to the Golden Triangle, he took over several entertainment venues. There weren't many major cities in the Golden Triangle; most areas consisted of villages and towns. There were over three thousand such settlements in total, and most villagers made a living by growing "plants." In the towns and smaller cities, however, there were telecom fraud parks, casinos, and other entertainment venues.

The Golden Triangle is a region where various warlord factions vie for power, each managing their own territory.

The city Jack was currently in was part of Shan State in the Golden Triangle, which is in northern Myanmar and is the closest part to China.

Chen Feng asked, "Can you buy weapons here?"

This was a question of particular concern to Chen Feng. Weapons were needed not only by Jack and his men but also by the Scroll World. Currently, the entire Xingfeng Sect possessed only about a dozen submachine guns. Most of the grenades and C4 used against the Jiang family had been depleted, and ammunition was running low.

Jack said with a smile, "Boss, buying weapons here is quite convenient. We can deal directly with the local armed forces. They have their own military factories; although the quality is a bit poor, the prices are very cheap. The most common is the AK-47; one costs only five hundred USD and comes with a hundred rounds of ammunition."

"What about heavy weapons? Tanks, artillery, and things like that?" Chen Feng continued to ask.

While the AK rifle was powerful, Chen Feng preferred weapons with even greater destructive force, such as rocket launchers. A powerful martial artist might be able to dodge bullets, but they couldn't dodge artillery shells.

Jack replied, "You can buy them, but generally, local armed forces rarely sell heavy weapons unless you have a very good relationship with them."

Chen Feng nodded slightly, understanding. It wasn't that heavy weapons were unobtainable, but rather that it depended on who was buying. For an unknown force like Jack, who had just brought people into the Golden Triangle, the local armed forces would never sell them heavy weaponry.

Chen Feng then said, "Go to your contact later. First, buy two hundred AKs, three hundred grenades, and ten thousand rounds of ammunition."

"Understood, Boss," Jack agreed without hesitation.

Chen Feng turned and said, "There is one more thing I need you to do."

Jack immediately sat up straight. "Boss, please say the word. I will get it done no matter what."

Chen Feng explained the matter of selling gold.

Hearing that Chen Feng actually wanted him to sell gold, Jack was somewhat astonished. "Boss, I don't know how much gold there is?"

Chen Feng replied calmly, "Six thousand catties."

"Huh? Six thousand catties!" Jack's eyes widened; he almost thought he had misheard.

"Exactly six thousand catties. Can you handle it?" Chen Feng looked at Jack.

Jack swallowed hard. To be honest, he was shocked. Gold is a hard currency worldwide, so he was naturally no stranger to it. But the most gold he had ever encountered in his life was only a few kilograms.

What was the concept of six thousand catties of gold? A single bank vault probably didn't even store that much.

At this moment, Jack's hands were trembling slightly. He didn't doubt Chen Feng's words. Chen Feng had no reason to joke with him like this. He wondered if his boss had robbed the underground vault of some small country. After all, with Chen Feng's god-like abilities, it was indeed possible.

"Boss, gold is a hard currency here, so selling it won't be a problem. It's just that the quantity is quite large; I might need some time." Jack struggled to remain calm.

Chen Feng nodded. "Mhm. Don't sell too much at once. Sell it in batches. It's fine if the price is a bit lower, just don't let yourself be targeted."

Chen Feng understood the principle of not flaunting one's wealth. Even though he was a cultivator, he was only at the minor Qi Refining stage. The Golden Triangle was a place filled with warlords; if he were targeted and an army besieged him, it would be dangerous. He didn't believe he could withstand artillery shells.

"Boss, don't worry, I know what to do. It's just... where is the gold?" Jack asked in confusion.

Chen Feng had come to the Golden Triangle alone, without bringing anyone else. Six thousand catties of gold would require at least a truck to transport.

"You'll have it soon."

Chen Feng stopped talking and began to close his eyes to rest. Jack didn't dare ask any more questions and sat obediently beside Chen Feng.

After several hours of driving, the car arrived at Jack's residence. It was a security company that Jack had acquired, currently employing about a hundred people.

Upon entering the security company, Jack arranged the best room for Chen Feng.

"You go out for now. I'll call you later," Chen Feng said to Jack.

He planned to return to the Scroll World to transport the gold, so naturally, he couldn't let Jack see it.

"Alright, Boss. Please rest. Call me anytime if you need anything."

After Jack left, Chen Feng began to transport the sixty thousand taels of gold into the room via the Scroll. With the conveyor belt, it only took him twenty minutes to move all the gold. This was also because time in the Scroll World flowed five times faster than in the modern world, making the transport speed much faster. Otherwise, such a massive amount of gold could not have been moved in such a short time.
