Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1337 - 1338: Let My Guard Down

The Eagle King stood to the side watching the scene with a faint expression, displaying no attitude.

This piece of cloth is called the Turin Shroud, also known as the Holy Shroud; I guess many people have heard of it, right?

It’s the cloth that wrapped Jesus’ body back in the day.

Of course, some might say it’s fake, not real, that the real one is in Italy, yadda yadda.

Whatever.

In their eyes, it’s just an energy purifier.

Oh, by the way, the Turin Shroud isn’t just for wrapping bodies; just like that useless guy, even a living person can be sucked dry and turned into energy.

So, seeing Lu Xiaobu eagerly wanting to touch the Turin Shroud, he flashed a silent smile.

...

Lu Xiaobu really wanted to take a closer look at this linen cloth.

Is this thing really that magical? 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Forced Calmness.

Lu Xiaobu didn’t hastily touch the cloth but instead used Forced Calmness.

He didn’t know if Forced Calmness would have any effect on the cloth, but it was worth a try.

After all, the skill of Forced Calmness is quite powerful.

Uh... alright, it’s no use.

Lu Xiaobu frowned and thought carefully about what else he had that could possibly be linked to this thing.

Think about it, isn’t it always like this in novels?

The locals have treasures they don’t know how to use, and the protagonist comes along and finds it cheap, super awesome!

He had a system in hand, so he counted as half a protagonist, right!

Maybe there’s some kind of destiny?

However.

There’s nothing!

Damn it!

"What’s wrong, Lu Xiaobu? Aren’t you going to take a closer look?" The Eagle King finally spoke, with a teasing look in his eyes: "This is a treasure."

"Idiot, shut up." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes.

"Alright, alright, I’ll shut up." The Eagle King smiled faintly: "You continue your research, no rush, I can even have someone bring you some food, provided you dare to eat it."

Some might say he’s got a screw loose, letting someone freely study their treasure.

But, haven’t you thought of a premise?

The premise is that if Lu Xiaobu figures it out and can take it away, then it’s truly silly behavior.

But now?

Whether Lu Xiaobu can figure it out or not, that’s a different matter.

Even if he does, can he just walk away with it?!

Sure, Lu Xiaobu is amazing, defeating eleven of them and breaking out.

But then what?

Outside is America!

million square kilometers of America, with its strong ships and powerful military.

Do you think it’s like that island nation where you walk in one direction for a while and you’ll see the sea?

Lu Xiaobu trying to run away from here?!

Dream on!

If you really manage to escape, I’ll call you Daddy, how about that?

Earlier, they didn’t want to conflict with Lu Xiaobu because they didn’t have anything on him.

After all, everything Lu Xiaobu did was in front of everyone, and it wasn’t easy to reverse things.

But!

Now the bartender is dead, dead at Lu Xiaobu’s hands, and everyone here is his people.

No matter what Lu Xiaobu claims, they have a thousand ways to keep him detained in America.

"Eagle King, the FBI is here, surrounded, and Lu Xiaobu’s six stars and assistant are also secretly being monitored. However, there are a lot of people watching since they just won an award, so it’s hard to act directly." A person next to the Eagle King said.

"Hmm, no rush." The Eagle King leisurely said: "Doesn’t Lu Xiaobu love to boast? Let him take his time."

At this moment, he felt a cat-and-mouse satisfaction.

Aren’t you the one with unparalleled wisdom, Lu Xiaobu? Didn’t you make that island nation spin on your finger?

So how come now in front of me you’ve become the turtle in the urn?

So dumb?

"I was careless this time." Lu Xiaobu was still studying that Shroud but muttered.

He indeed underestimated things this time.

Always thinking he could break out, but he overlooked many things. He had dual identity protection, but wasn’t that also dual identity limitation?

Ordinary martial artists, they might not use military force, but against him, they definitely would.

Tsk!

Recently, he’d been a bit overconfident, not using his brain much.

"System," Lu Xiaobu called out.

"I’m here, but there’s nothing I can do." The system chuckled bitterly: "Or you could let them capture you and let the Heavenly Dynasty bail you out later?"

"That’s the last resort, it would take months or years just to negotiate, and I don’t have time for that." Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "Just tell me, do you recognize this thing?"

"Don’t recognize it." The system said helplessly: "If I did, I would have told you already."

"Then here’s what." A glint of coldness flashed in Lu Xiaobu’s eyes: "Don’t you know other systems? Go, sell this thing in exchange for something that can help me escape."

If I can’t figure it out, I’ll just sell it!

What? This thing belongs to the Sea Eagle?

Nonsense! It’s in front of me, so it’s mine!

"Oh my, holy crap! You can do that?!" The system was dumbfounded.

What a god-level move!

I never even thought of it!

You can just sell it?!

6666! I bow to you for a year!

"Alright, I’ll go find a buyer." The system quickly ran away: "Rest assured, I’ll get you a satisfactory price."

He had learned quite a lot from Lu Xiaobu; although he didn’t know what this thing was, he was much better at negotiating than those rigid folks.

Meanwhile, Zhang Meng and the others noticed something was wrong: "Young Master, should we break out or contact home?"

"No rush to fight, and contacting won’t help, he’s definitely blocked the signals." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand.

At this moment, the thirty billion Dragon Capturing Hand was almost charged.

Breaking out is the worst strategy besides getting caught.

Let’s see if the system can sell it.

"You noticed?" The Eagle King looked at Lu Xiaobu with a teasing smile: "However, I wasn’t exactly hiding it, how about you surrender? You’ll get a private room."

"Idiot, where do you get your confidence? Thinking you can stop me?" Lu Xiaobu laughed: "If I could kill all of you, do you think those guys outside would be a threat to me?"

"If you can do it, of course, they’re no threat, but can you?"

The Eagle King laughed: "If you were just a martial artist or a superpower user, if you really have such great power, I can’t do anything about it."

"But you? A famous entrepreneur, a representative of the Heavenly Dynasty, would you really do it?"

"Of course, all of this assumes you have such great power."

The Eagle King’s eyes showed a provocative glint: "Why not, give it a try?"
