Chapter 41: Jack's Fear

Before long, Jack came jogging over.

Jack’s expression was somewhat grim; clearly, something had happened.

Noticing Jack's unusual demeanor, Chen Feng asked, "Did something happen?"

Jack immediately dismissed his subordinates and then said to Chen Feng

"Boss, that cruise ship from last night was seized by the FBI. They've already traced it back to Stone. A lot of FBI agents just came here to investigate."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's eyes instantly turned cold. At that moment, he had the urge to kill Jack.

Being targeted by the FBI was not a good thing. Even though he had become a cultivator, he couldn't claim to be invincible.

He was fundamentally unable to withstand the military and weaponry of the Eagle Nation.

The only way to eliminate future troubles would be to kill Jack and wipe out his gang.

He had rushed back to land yesterday, thinking Jack would handle everything.

He hadn't expected this idiot to focus solely on seizing the position of gang leader, failing to even destroy the evidence.

Jack, who was still worrying about the FBI, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by something terrifying.

When he saw the look in Chen Feng's eyes, his hair stood on end instantly.

A wave of fear rose from the depths of his heart.

Jack hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice

"Boss! I just finished dealing with everyone who went on the ship with us last night, including the driver. Aside from me, no one knows you were on that ship!"

Jack was filled with terror. From Chen Feng's icy gaze, he could tell that Chen Feng intended to kill him.

His body wouldn't stop shaking. Even though Jack had become the gang leader and had dozens of men under him, he had no intention of resisting Chen Feng. He had witnessed Chen Feng's power with his own eyes.

Even the Blackwater mercenaries were no match for Chen Feng; his subordinates stood even less of a chance.

If Chen Feng wanted him dead, there was no way he would survive.

"Get up. I told you I don't like kneeling," Chen Feng said calmly.

As Chen Feng spoke, Jack felt the chill vanish and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, even if you go to the FBI, they won't be able to protect you," Chen Feng stared at Jack.

Jack immediately promised, "Please rest assured, Boss. I've been dealing with the FBI for more than a day or two; they definitely won't find anything. Besides, I'm already preparing to take my men and leave this place."

Seeing Jack's terrified state, Chen Feng finally nodded. "Is the stuff I asked for ready?"

The main reason Chen Feng had decided not to kill Jack was his previous answer; the man had taken the initiative to kill everyone who was on the ship with them, which meant he wasn't entirely stupid.

Furthermore, after witnessing his methods, Jack wouldn't dare betray him easily; the power Chen Feng had displayed was enough to instill fear.

Moreover, if he killed Jack, it would be difficult to buy weapons in the future.

He also had other plans; keeping Jack and his people around would make it easier for him to get things done.

While China was safe, it wasn't safe abroad, and he would inevitably be targeted.

In the modern world, he needed not only a massive business chain but also his own armed forces.

"Boss, I've put everything you wanted in the warehouse. I'll lead you there."

Jack respectfully guided Chen Feng toward the bar's warehouse.

A large amount of items were stored here.

The most numerous were bundles of photo albums—erotic photo books of sexy Western women. They were quite explicit, with very little text and mostly photos.

There were also various modern daily necessities, such as glassware, metal tools, fabrics, and many other types.

The list Chen Feng had given Jack consisted of items he had selected through previous arbitrage, as they were the lowest risk.

He had never brought electronic technology products to the Scroll World to sell, because such technological products exceeded the cognition of the Scroll World's natives and could easily attract trouble.

However, these photo albums and daily necessities would not attract too much attention.

As long as he told the people in the Scroll World that he bought them from other countries when selling them, it wouldn't raise much suspicion.

Chen Feng didn't know how large the Scroll World was.

But there were many surrounding countries, and even countries in more distant places.

Additionally, the Scroll World lacked the communication technology of the modern world.

Information between countries was difficult to transmit, so there would be no way to verify the origins of the goods he sold.

Chen Feng wasn't worried about being unable to sell these things.

Novelty brings high value anywhere. Whether it was the stimulation provided by the photo albums or the demand for daily necessities, they could be sold at very high prices.

Jack stood respectfully to the side, wondering to himself why Chen Feng wanted him to buy these things.

He even thought Chen Feng might have some special collecting fetish.

These explicit photo collections had long been obsolete; if people wanted to see such things, they could find much more stimulating content just by searching the internet.

Chen Feng turned to Jack and instructed

"Take your men and leave this place as soon as possible. It's best to leave the Eagle Nation. Once you find a safe place, call me."

"Boss, I'll do whatever you say. If you tell me to go, I'll go. I have dozens of men following me right now."

Jack knew that leaving the Eagle Nation was indeed the safest option in this situation.

But he didn't know where to go, so he wanted to ask Chen Feng.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng said, "Go to Southeast Asia or the Middle East. Chaotic regions are best."

"Alright, I'll arrange for people to smuggle us out later," Jack agreed.

For gang members like them, chaotic regions were indeed the best choice.

Jack then brought two suitcases in front of Chen Feng and said, "Boss, there's also this."

Jack opened the suitcases, which were filled with green US dollars.

Altogether, there was about one million dollars.

This money belonged to Stone; after Jack took over the gang, this cash naturally fell into his hands.

"Keep this money. You need funds to establish yourself in a new place. Once things have settled, help me acquire some more powerful weapons. I'll need them in the future."

Chen Feng didn't particularly want this US currency because it was "black money." It would be easily investigated in China, and money laundering was a hassle. It was better to have Jack help him buy more weapons and equipment.

"Yes, Boss!"

A smile immediately spread across Jack's face; he knew Chen Feng wasn't going to kill him.

Chen Feng then dismissed Jack.

He began transporting the supplies one by one into the Scroll World.

On a passenger plane bound for China, Chen Feng sat in first class.

After delivering the supplies to the Scroll World, he had taken the nearest flight to return home.

At that moment, a tall flight attendant approached Chen Feng. She poured him a glass of water and said in a gentle voice

"Sir, please have some water."

The flight attendant had been drawn to Chen Feng the moment he boarded.

A man this handsome sitting in first class naturally caught her eye.

"Thank you," Chen Feng replied with a smile.

Just as he picked up the glass, he immediately saw a small note placed underneath it, with a string of telephone numbers written on it.

The flight attendant leaned close to Chen Feng's ear and whispered

"Sir, this is my contact information. If you need to inquire about flight information, you can contact me at any time."

The hint was very obvious; how could Chen Feng not understand?
