Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1302 - 1303: Strange

"What are you trying to do?! I tell you! I’m an international celebrity! You have no right to detain me on your own!" John went crazy, shouting hysterically.

Hearing this, Lu Xiaobu suddenly laughed and turned to ask Liang Lan, "Sister Lan, is there some scandal about me internationally? Does someone really think I would follow the rules?"

"Yes, Young Master, recently, many countries have been building a glorious image of you internationally, calling you a hero, a peace ambassador."

"Of course, there’s also another kind, which is luck, but it’s just relying on some techniques and so on." Liang Lan nodded and said.

"They’re doing it to save their own face. After all, being afraid of you as a country isn’t easy to say or hear."

"They can only make your image grand yet ordinary to help save face."

"I see." Lu Xiaobu laughed, "Using tricks is understandable, but the scary thing is when some foolish people actually believe it."

As he spoke, his gaze turned to John, clearly indicating the fool was right in front of him.

Then he looked at Song Hui again, "Professor Song, whose idea was it to host the match at Shimen this time?"

"It was... it was... Professor John’s idea." Song Hui said with a wry smile.

He’s a mathematics guy, not good at these things.

But even if he’s not good, he seems to have noticed something; is this John up to no good?!

Come to think of it, it seems so. Whether it’s John or David, both are people who frequent high society. Explaining their earlier behavior merely as a lack of manners doesn’t really hold up.

He had doubted this issue before, that attitude had a strong target, as if they specifically came for revenge.

But, if they really hold hostility, what’s the reason?!

What kind of connection could two mathematicians have with Lu Xiaobu?!

It’s really strange!

The more he thinks about it, the stranger it gets!

Not just him, but everyone’s eyes around them are now on these foreigners, filled with suspicion.

"What are you doing?! What are you doing?!" John erupted, angrily pointing his finger at everyone around him, "I tell you, show me some respect!"

"Detain him." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, "Take your time questioning him. There’s plenty of time."

"Wait a minute!" John said again, gritting his teeth, looking at Lu Xiaobu, "I want to bet with you."

"Not interested." Lu Xiaobu yawned, too lazy to pay attention to him.

John: "If you win, I’ll tell you why I’m here! If you lose, agree to one condition of mine!"

Lu Xiaobu: "Not interested."

John: "I’ll add another condition. If you win, I’ll give you this thing!"

Saying this, John gritted his teeth and painfully took out a square box from his backpack.

This thing is called a box, but actually looks like a solid wooden cube.

"What is this?" Lu Xiaobu furrowed his brows, instinctively sensing the uniqueness of this box.

Seeing Lu Xiaobu’s expression, John’s eyes flickered, clearly confirming something.

"This is something my ancestor took back from your Heavenly Dynasty back in the day." John said.

"Took back?" Lu Xiaobu’s mouth suddenly curved into a sneer, "Do you think I’m stupid? Tell the truth!"

A thing that looks magical like this, took back?!

You really know how to embellish yourself.

"Yes, looted! During the Eight-Nation Alliance!" John gritted his teeth and finally could only say helplessly.

Saying this still carries a bit of shame.

After all, coming to someone else’s territory and using their things as a gambling stake makes him feel a bit shameless.

"Alright, you’re here to return it to its rightful owner, right? Then I’ll take it." Lu Xiaobu nodded, directly reaching out to snatch the item from John’s hand, "Alright, take him away."

John was dumbfounded!

Seriously?! Is it like this?!

Isn’t this robbery?!

I said it was for gambling, I didn’t say it was a gift!

Song Hui slapped his forehead, looking at John’s face twitching, with a wry smile.

Haven’t you realized what kind of rogue is in front of you?!

You want to trick him?! You’re dreaming!

"Are you really going to take it away like this? I’m a living person. Unless you kill me, it’s not easy to stop me from speaking."

"Also, do you want to start researching from scratch? You really don’t need our family’s generations of research data?" John said helplessly.

"I only want a fair competition opportunity. Can’t you even give me that?!"

At this moment, he no longer had any aggressive tone and instead had a pleading tone.

Of course, he also cursed those rumor-mongers from the bottom of his heart, saying Lu Xiaobu is a hero?! Bullshit hero!

This is a freaking devil!

I fell for your trap and actually brought the thing to you!

Dammit, you son of a bitch!

"I’ll give you a chance, tell me, what do you want to bet on?" Lu Xiaobu said.

Forcing him won’t work.

But if you ask him, he wouldn’t mind playing along.

Of course, whether win or lose, he’s not going to give back the thing!

"Mathematics! You randomly find someone and compete with me in mathematics! As long as you can beat me, I’ll hand over everything to you!" John said, a bit shamelessly.

At first, he wanted David to compete with someone on Lu Xiaobu’s side, after all, he is a Nobel Mathematician.

But now, since Lu Xiaobu is being so shameless, if he keeps face, he’ll get bullied to death!

"Alright, sure, Xiao Zhi, play with him." Lu Xiaobu said casually.

He wasn’t expecting to win, the other guy is an old fox, but still capable.

He just wanted Xiao Zhi to have some fun.

John and their research data? Take it or leave it!

Don’t forget, he just joined a secret base recently; the research progress there isn’t slower than what this guy’s family has been secretly researching for generations?!

"Yes, Officer Lu!" Xiao Zhi nodded.

He got serious!

No matter what Officer Lu was thinking, since Officer Lu gave the order, he had to do his best!

He released Liang Lan’s hand.

Exited the Treasure Pavilion in his mind, and returned to that cold database.

Instantly, the previously timid Xiao Zhi changed.

Calm, detached, silent, the data flow Lu Xiaobu had seen in his eyes before...

Appeared again!

At this moment, he is his strongest self!

His task is to crush everything for Officer Lu!
