Chapter 566 Mysterious Equipment
"Slave?"
"Young Master?"
The Four Great Kings had initially wanted to join Lafayette in paying their respects, but after hearing Lafayette's words, they froze in disbelief, exchanging looks of disbelief and shock.
Lafayette was a Seven-Star War-God level expert, an incredibly powerful figure beyond imagination. He was the uncrowned king of Canton City, with assets spread throughout the entire city.
To see such a powerful Seven-Star War-God level expert addressing this young man as "Young Master" and referring to himself as a slave, while showing such respect, would undoubtedly cause shock and perhaps even a great commotion in Canton City if the news got out.
The young man glanced at Lafayette with a hint of disdain and disgust in his eyes and said coldly, "How did things go?"
"Young Master, with the support of the family, I have firmly grasped the economic lifeline of Canton City and have obtained that item," Lafayette said respectfully.
"Not bad, you have some skill as an old slave. Our family didn't cultivate you in vain. Alright, I'm tired from the journey. Arrange a place for me to rest immediately, and as for the equipment, you can handle it yourself," the young man said coldly, using a commanding tone.
Lafayette replied, "I have already made the arrangements, please follow me to the car, Young Master." He escorted the so-called Young Master to the car with utmost respect.
Once the Young Master got into the car and left, Lafayette breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lafayette, what's going on?" The Four Great Kings approached, their eyes filled with confusion.
"If you don't want to die, don't ask too many questions!" Lafayette glared at them.
The Four Great Kings were shocked and didn't dare to say another word.
Lafayette glanced at them and said sternly, "Stop wasting time and go to the helicopter to transport the equipment."
"Remember, handle it with care. This set of equipment is crucial for us."
After speaking, he quickly got into his car and followed behind the Young Master.
The Four Great Kings stood still, exchanging puzzled looks.
"The Lafayette we follow is seen as a slave by others?" The newly appointed Great King furrowed his brows.
"I guess our positions as the Four Great Kings are no longer guaranteed," the Blade King from the North said in a low voice.
The other two remained silent, their expressions grim.
They had always felt superior, even when they learned that Sikong Yun had been dethroned as King, they believed they would still have a place in Canton City.
Now, hearing how Lafayette respectfully treated that Young Master, they realized that in the eyes of certain influential figures, they might not even be considered slaves.
So what were they?
Slaves to the slaves?
Or dogs to the dogs?
No matter how they were labeled, it was an unpleasant notion.
The Blade King from the North lit a cigarette and took a drag, speaking in a deep voice, "Now I understand what it means to be slaves of the masses."
"In the eyes of certain individuals, all living organisms are slaves."
"There are things that you don't have at birth, and you'll never have them later on."
The other three Great Kings fell into silence upon hearing his words.
Indeed, there are things that you don't possess at birth, and acquiring them later on is even more difficult than reaching the heavens.
For example, power!
They had traveled far and wide, experienced storms and waves, killed people, spilled blood, escaped death. They thought they had carved out a niche for themselves in the martial world, considering themselves superior beings.
Even their own strength was not weak, and they weren't foolish. They believed they had reached the pinnacle, overseeing everything.
Yet, reality taught them that they had only climbed a small hill. The true heroes, the remarkable individuals, were already standing atop the mountain peak from birth, looking down upon those who struggled to climb the small hill.
It was truly laughable!
"Enough, we're all part of society, all working for a meal. It doesn't matter whom we serve. Let's go, let's get to work."
The Blade King from the North took a deep breath and immediately addressed his subordinates, "Everyone, listen up. Go to the helicopter and transport the equipment. Remember, be careful and gentle."
The other three Great Kings commanded their own subordinates, overseeing the transportation of the equipment and devices from the helicopter.
Inside the helicopter, there were tightly sealed boxes, each carefully wrapped.
No one knew what was inside, but a small box of about ten centimeters in size was incredibly heavy, requiring two strong men to lift it.
The other boxes were equally heavy.
After transporting all the items and placing them in the truck, even the tires of the truck were slightly deflated under the weight.
"What kind of equipment is inside these boxes?" the newly appointed Great King wondered, looking at the sealed boxes with a mix of curiosity and intrigue.
The boxes were small but heavy, indicating that whatever was inside must be valuable.
"Lafayette said, if you don't desire to die, don't ask too many questions."
The Blade King from the North stubbed out his cigarette, glanced at the person, and uttered in a stern voice, "And one more thing, suppress your greed and better not have any thoughts about these shipments."
Finishing his words, he got into his own car and drove away.
The other two individuals also gave the newly appointed Great King a glance before getting into their cars and leaving.
That Great King could not help but cast a lingering look at the equipment before reluctantly turning away and leaving.
Though he was greedy and sought ways to secure his own interests, these shipments were too valuable. They're brought by Lafayette's young master.
If he dared to have any thoughts about these shipments, he would likely end up dead.
"I really desire to know what's inside those boxes."
After getting into his car, the newly appointed Great King continued to gaze intently at the truck, his eyes filled with undeniable greed and curiosity.
He was most intrigued by unknown treasures.
However, now was not the time to make a move on these shipments.
"I need to first find out who Lafayette's young master is."
The newly appointed Great King lit a cigar and uttered to his driver, "Drive, follow Lafayette and his group."
The driver nodded without hesitation, immediately starting the car and speeding out, trailing behind Lafayette's vehicle.
Behind them, the truck also started, following the four Great Kings.
The cars of their subordinates also started, escorting the large truck.
After about an hour, the young master's car and Lafayette's car arrived one after the other in front of a villa.
Once the young master got out of the car, he disdainfully glanced at the villa and said, "Old servant, you arranged for me to stay in such a rundown place?"
Lafayette quickly walked over from the rear car, bowing respectfully, "Young master, this is the best decoration I could think of. I humbly ask for your understanding and make do with it."
The young master snorted coldly and strode into the villa.
Lafayette hurriedly followed, cautiously asking, "Young master, what is the purpose of your visit to Canton City this time?"
The young master's gaze turned stern, enunciating each word, "To kill."
"Whom are you going to kill?"
"A man named Wang Chao!"
