Chapter 5229: Smart Change

"This ancient jade has an extraordinary origin. How can it be coveted by a mediocre person like you?"

"Even I have to be careful with you. Do you think you are stronger than me?"

The old man in black robe smiled contemptuously and said with disdain.

"This……"

The man in black robe did not expect that his words would cause such a big reaction to the old man in black robe, so he had to lower his head and did not dare to say any more nonsense.

The old man in black robe snorted coldly when he saw his reaction, turned his head and continued to stare at the so-called ancient jade with longing eyes.

"Sir, there is something I don't know whether I should ask."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded. It was Zhang Yifeng who took the initiative to step forward after the previous person hit the wall, saluted the black-robed old man and asked.

"Hmm? What do you want to ask?"

The old man in black robe frowned and looked back, secretly thinking that the person he brought out this time was too ignorant of etiquette.

"I'm just curious about this thing. I hope you can give me some answers."

"After all, you can tell what this thing is at a glance, which shows your broad knowledge."

"This is the first time I have encountered such a secret treasure. I hope you can give me some advice."

Zhang Yifeng lowered his head and said respectfully, and his words were full of flattery to the old man in black robe.

After hearing what Zhang Yifeng said, the gloomy expression of the old man in black robe gradually improved.

After he looked at Zhang Yifeng deeply, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, you are quite good at talking, much better than this idiot."

"Since you are willing to ask, I will tell you."

"Anyway, this matter is not a secret, so it's okay for you to know."

The old man in black robe was obviously very pleased with Zhang Yifeng's flattery.

As he spoke, he cast a cold eye at the man in black robe who had just asked the question.

The man in black robe quickly lowered his head when he heard the sound, but his face was full of jealousy and hatred.

This jealousy and hatred were naturally directed at Zhang Yifeng.

In his opinion, it was Zhang Yifeng's nonsense that caused the adults to treat him so coldly.

"I don't dare. It all depends on the master's reasonableness. Only then will the subordinates be willing to ask for advice."

Zhang Yifeng waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this, and said with a solemn expression.

The way he looked like he was completely justifying his flattery, there was no sign of him lying at all.

The old man in black robe was also very happy to hear this.

When he turned around, he saw the man in black robe whom he had scolded, staring at Zhang Yifeng with a look of resentment, and felt bad luck in his heart.

"Useless thing, why are you staring at others?"

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

The old man in black robe immediately slapped the man in black robe, knocking him to the ground.

Red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but the man in black robe lay on the ground and dared not say a word.

"Put away your thoughts and don't let me see your idiot face again!"

The old man in black robe said coldly with his back to him.

"Yes, my lord."

The black-robed man who was slapped to the ground didn't dare to refute at all. He lowered his head to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stood up tremblingly.

As mentioned before, although these men in black robes are elites within the shell organization, they cannot easily suffer losses.

But that's just normal. The mission we are in now is very critical to the shell organization.

The ordinary shell organization's training for them is precisely to carry out these important tasks.

As long as the goal can be achieved, the Shell Organization will never care what happens in the process.

This is the high-level cannon fodder of the Shell Organization.

And the old man in black robe who is responsible for leading the team already has a higher position than them.

In such an important mission, every word and action can determine their life or death.

Therefore, facing the threat from the old man in black robe, these people in black robe did not dare to have the slightest thought of resistance.

"This ancient gem is a super ancient secret treasure that was confirmed by the top cadres of the organization after they sorted out various ancient books and linked various irrelevant information together."

"According to those legendary records, this ancient gem has the powerful ability to turn back time and space."

"However, the organization has not yet discovered how to use this ancient gem."

"The purpose of coming here is to try all feasible methods to bring this ancient gem back."

After the old man in black robe scolded the man in black robe, he turned his head and said to Zhang Yifeng with a smile.

Zhang Yifeng understood what was going on when he heard this, and he quickly flattered the old man in black robe a few more times.

Zhang Yifeng was good at observing people's expressions and his flattery hit the black-robed old man's heart, causing him to smile continuously.

Having found such a precious treasure as the ancient jade, we have already achieved half of the goal of this trip.

At this time, coupled with the wind that Zhang Yifeng blew in his ear, the black-robed old man felt a little elated.

"You guys, go and collect this ancient jade."

He waved his hand and gave orders to the two men in black robes.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see at this moment that these two men in black robes were in the same group.

Zhang Yifeng and Lu Shuang stood closer. Because of Zhang Yifeng's presence, the old man in black robe subconsciously looked at Lu Shuang more favorably.

Putting away the ancient jade would be fraught with danger.

Unless necessary, the old man in black robe still wanted Zhang Yifeng to continue to flatter him.

So in this case, such an extremely dangerous job was naturally left to the two men in black robes whom he was already unhappy with.

After hearing this order, the two men in black robes turned pale and immediately understood what the old man in black robe meant.

However, due to the iron laws of the Shell Organization and the heart-eating curse planted in their bodies, they could only bite the bullet and do it.

They saw the two people surrounding the ancient jade, constantly trying various methods to get it into their pockets.

But if this ancient gem could be put away using ordinary methods, it would be impossible for Lu Shuang to seal it in this secret realm.

A city was even purposely built nearby to cover up the whereabouts of this secret realm.

This precious jade had been taken away long ago to prevent it from being discovered by someone with ulterior motives.

Because of this, after many attempts to no avail, the face of the old man in black robe gradually showed a look of impatience.

"What two losers!"

With a cold shout in his mouth, the old man in black robe looked at them with an increasingly evil look.

"Sir, I think this is the first time for these two to face such a treasure. It is normal that they don't know how to deal with it for a while."

Zhang Yifeng stood beside the old man in black robe and spoke in a low voice.

The two men in black robes were surprised when they heard the voice, as if they had not expected Zhang Yifeng to speak for them under such circumstances.

After all, in the Shell Organization, interests have always been above all else.

Not to mention that they had no intention of hiding their hatred for Zhang Yifeng before.

Now seeing that Zhang Yifeng was willing to speak for them, both of them couldn't help but look moved, and even began to regret their previous mistakes.

But Zhang Yifeng's next words aroused their hatred again.
