Chapter 444 Preparations Before Departure
A few gangsters gathered around, whispering about their plans. A gangster glanced at Su Ming and said with a sneer: "Look, this kid is so young. Someone will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to buy him. As long as we do it cleanly, we will definitely make a fortune."
Another gangster looked at Alice, licked his lips, his eyes full of greed: "As for that woman, hey, sell it to the club, and I'm guaranteed to get a good price. She's so beautiful, let alone ordinary customers. , even the club owners will rush to pay high prices.”
After hearing this, several gangsters whispered in agreement, their eyes filled with evil desire.
They didn't take Su Ming and Alice seriously at all. They thought they were just a weak child and a woman who could be controlled easily.
However, their whispers did not escape Alice's ears. Her eyes swept over the gangsters coldly, and there was a cold warning in her voice: "You are looking for death."
When the gangsters heard this, they were stunned, and then laughed disdainfully: "Hey, this woman still dares to threaten us? It seems that you are really not afraid of death!"
As he said that, several people approached Alice with ferocious smiles on their faces, obviously ready to take action.
Alice stared at them coldly, already ready for battle. She quickly adjusted her stance, clenched her hands slightly, and tensed her body, ready to deal with the coming conflict.
A gangster took the lead, swinging his fist and hitting Alice, trying to knock her down with one punch.
However, his movements seemed like slow motion in Alice's eyes.
She nimbly dodged sideways to avoid the opponent's attack, and then punched the man hard in the face with her backhand.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the gangster was beaten back a few steps, covering his nose and howling in pain.
"Damn it! How dare you fight back!" When the other gangster saw this, he became furious, pulled out a dagger, and stabbed Alice in the chest.
Alice's eyes flashed, her legs suddenly exerted force, and she jumped back quickly, avoiding the dagger attack.
Then, she seized the opportunity and kicked the knife-wielding gangster's wrist with a sharp kick, hitting his joint accurately.
The man cried out in pain, and the dagger flew out of his hand instantly.
Alice didn't give the opponent any chance to breathe. She quickly approached like a cheetah and punched the gangster again, hitting the gangster's ribs hard.
The gangster staggered to the ground in pain, instantly losing his fighting ability.
Seeing this, the other gangsters felt a sense of fear in their hearts, but still refused to give up.
The two of them rushed towards Alice at the same time, trying to suppress her with their superiority.
Alice snorted coldly, and quickly crossed her hands. One hand blocked the attack of one of them, and the other hand grabbed the other person's shoulder, twisted it with strength, and threw him to the ground.
At the same time, she slammed her knee into the other gangster's abdomen with such force that the other gangster bent over in pain.
The scene fell into intense chaos, and Alice's movements were clean and deadly.
Not only is she good at fighting, she can also accurately grasp the weaknesses of each opponent and use the smallest movements to cause maximum damage.
The gangsters gradually realized that they were no match for Alice, but it was too late.
Within a few minutes, they fell to the ground one by one, wailing in pain, and no longer had the strength to stand up.
Alice stood beside them, with no unnecessary expression on her face.
She glanced coldly at the gangsters who fell on the ground and said calmly: "You asked for this."
She flicked her wrist, as if the battle just now was just a small warm-up.
The people around witnessed Alice's fierce skills, and everyone was shocked by her actions.
For a moment, the pedestrians on the street were silent, and only the painful groans of a few gangsters who fell to the ground could be heard.
Those who were watching just now began to whisper and speculate on the identities of Alice and Su Ming.
"Who is this woman? With such good skills, these gangsters are no match for her."
"Is it a master from other places?"
While everyone was whispering, an older passerby stepped forward with a bit of worry and kindness in his expression.
He whispered to Alice: "Girl, although you defeated these people, I have to remind you that they are not ordinary gangsters. They are members of the Obsidian Gang."
"Obsidian Gang?" Alice raised her eyebrows, not familiar with this name.
The older passerby continued: "The 'Obsidian Gang' is a notorious force in this area.
Their boss is called Barrett, who is ruthless and has a large number of ruthless thugs. The gang's business includes illegal drug smuggling, human trafficking, underground boxing matches and other illegal activities. They control most of the shady transactions in the black market. Their tentacles are spread all over the underground world, and there is almost nothing they dare not interfere with. "
The passerby lowered his voice and became more nervous: "The Obsidian Gang also controls the police and officials in many places, and they will use violence if they are dissatisfied. Their power is so powerful that you can't imagine. Someone once offended them, and the result was They were beaten to death overnight and were never seen again. I'm afraid you've gotten into big trouble."
Alice frowned slightly, obviously digesting this information.
"Their boss, Barrett, controls the local underground world. He is a figure." The older passerby sighed, with some sympathy in his eyes, "If you beat the Obsidian Gang, they will definitely not let it go. Get your children out of here quickly to avoid getting into their trouble.”
After hearing what the passerby said, Alice's expression didn't change much, but she was already wary.
The power of this gang is far greater than she expected, and it seems that the next actions must be more cautious.
She turned to look at Su Ming behind her. The little boy still maintained his calm and calm expression.
The little girl in her soul state floated playfully next to Su Ming, with a cunning light shining in her eyes.
She gently shook Su Ming's arm, like a naughty child, and said with a smile: "Brother Su Ming, do you want me to scare them? I can wait until night to appear outside the window of those gangsters, pretending He looked like a ghost and scared them to death! Huh, those bad guys will definitely be scared to death!”
Su Ming couldn't help but shake his head and sigh after hearing this, looking very helpless.
The little girl pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Huh, they are so bad, what's the point of scaring them?" As she spoke, she flew to Su Ming's side and looked at him with those pitiful eyes. He looks extremely cute.
Soon after, Su Ming and Alice decided to find a hotel to rest for a while, as they would enter the tropical rainforest tomorrow.
They found a luxurious hotel called "Silver Moon Imperial Court". This hotel looked extremely high-end, with luxurious decoration. The entrance hall outside was extraordinary, as if it were a splendid palace. When Su Ming walked in, he glanced across the hall and saw a huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, and the surrounding walls were decorated with various precious works of art and gorgeous murals.
The hotel rooms are spacious and bright, with soft velvet sofas and high-end furniture, coupled with the beautiful scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, making people feel extremely comfortable and comfortable.
The little girl floated next to Su Ming and Alice. Seeing such a luxurious place, she couldn't help but move around excitedly, her eyes full of curiosity and excitement.
"Wow, this place is so beautiful!" She said happily, sometimes flying to the bedside, sometimes lying by the window to look at the scenery outside, with an excited expression on her face, "Brother Su Ming, I have never lived in such a beautiful place. Great place!”
Su Ming smiled and said, "As long as you like it, but this is just a short rest. We are going to the rain forest tomorrow."
The little girl's eyes sparkled, full of expectation: "Great, I heard there are many strange animals and big trees there, I really want to see them!"
Alice was standing by the window, sorting out the equipment they would use tomorrow.
The next day, as soon as Alice and Su Ming walked out of the hotel door, they found a group of men with different shapes and fierce looks gathered at the door.
These people are not ordinary people at first glance. Most of them are burly, with fleshy faces. Their arms are covered with ferocious tattoos, and their exposed muscle lines are very exaggerated.
Everyone had a rebellious smile on their face, and their eyes were fierce and cold, full of danger.
A leading gangster stood at the front, his hair shaved bald, a thick gold chain hanging around his neck, and his face looking particularly vicious.
There was a malicious light in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a somewhat contemptuous smile. There is a huge skull tattoo on his arm. The tattoo is hideous and terrifying, as if it is a silent warning to everyone not to get close.
The other gangster was thin and had several deep scars on his face, making him look very fierce. He glanced sideways at Alice and Su Ming, bit a toothpick in his mouth, and said coldly: "These are them, right? Do you really think we can't find you hiding in a luxury hotel?"
"Hehe, don't be afraid, we have brought guns this time." The bald gangster whispered, his hand quietly touched his waist, showing a sinister smile, "With this little thing, you will be safe."
The few people discussed in low voices for a while and seemed very confident. They all think that they have guns in their hands and don't need to be afraid of anything. What's more, they are already members of the Obsidian Gang and are used to being domineering.
Just as they were discussing and preparing to take action, suddenly the cell phone of the leading bald gangster rang.
He picked up the phone and connected it. After listening for a while, a trace of surprise and excitement suddenly flashed in his eyes. He whispered into the phone: "Really? Are you sure?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was extremely urgent: "That's right! We found out the identity of that kid. He is no ordinary person. He is the only son of the richest Su family, Su Ming!"
When the bald gangster heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly hung up the phone. The expression on his face changed from the cold one to ecstasy. He immediately called his boss, Barrett, and reported excitedly: "Boss, you will never think of it! The identity of that child is simply amazing. He is the only son of the Su family! If we catch him, we will be in trouble." !”
Barrett on the other end of the phone was shocked when he heard the news, and then burst into laughter: "Su Ming? You mean the son of the Su family, the richest man in the International Center? Hahaha, that's it, catch him. By living with him, we will seize the lifeblood of the entire Su family! This opportunity must not be missed!"
Barrett was excited, as if he had seen himself rising to the top.
By seizing Su Ming, he would have mastered endless wealth and power. He was so excited that even his words were trembling.
As soon as Barrett learned of Su Ming's identity, he immediately assigned his men to closely follow Alice and Su Ming to ensure that they were not out of sight. At the same time, Alice suggested that they go shopping for some necessities before entering the rainforest.
Su Ming had no objection to this, and the two decided to go shopping together.
The little girl in the spirit state also followed them, floating from time to time, looking particularly relaxed and happy.
As soon as Alice entered the shopping area, she seemed to be ignited. She began to buy all kinds of things frantically.
First, she walked into a high-end outdoor goods store, picked out a few pairs of the most expensive hiking shoes, carefully selected a few high-tech windproof and rainproof clothing, and then chose a top-notch backpack with a capacity that was almost large enough to fit a child.
Then, she bought a bunch of portable water filters, emergency lights, night vision goggles, and several field first aid kits, almost emptying the entire store of equipment.
Alice completely ignored the gazes of others. While shopping frantically, she also walked into another high-end cosmetics store and bought several bottles of top-grade sunscreen and moisturizing spray in one go, muttering, "It's so hot in the rainforest, you can't do without maintenance." She even bought a large box of exquisite chocolates and snacks, saying, "There should be some fun during the adventure."
The little girl in the soul state floated beside her, looking at the spoils in Alice's hand, and couldn't help muttering, "Sister, are you going to explore the rainforest or go on vacation?"
Su Ming couldn't help laughing when he heard it.
Soon, Alice's hands and back were full of various shopping bags, and she even had to ask the clerk to help her pack the items.
But when she walked to the checkout counter to check out, an embarrassing scene happened.
Alice looked through her wallet and bank card, her face changed slightly: "Why... not enough money?" She looked at Su Ming a little embarrassed, and said helplessly: "Boss, can you help me pay for it? I'll pay you back next time."
Su Ming sighed helplessly, looking at the piles of items in front of him, silently complaining about "this shopping maniac" in his heart, but finally took out his card and helped her pay.
When the customers and clerks in the mall saw this scene, they all widened their eyes and looked surprised.
They never expected that it would be a young boy who helped a mature woman pay for such a huge shopping fee.
The shopping bags were piled up like a mountain, but Su Ming seemed calm and calm as usual, and calmly completed the payment.
