Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 226: Negotiating - Lowering Prices - The Smell of Blood

Having received the new address over the phone, Luo An hung up and turned the car, while quietly speaking to the communicator:

"Can you hear me? Mona?"

"Of course!"

In a dark command vehicle, Mona was operating the equipment while Levis and Valita stayed alert, with Reesi and another team member prepared to support Luo An if any issues arose, and Group Leader Owen also ready to call for remote support at any moment.

Hearing Luo An's words, Mona immediately asked:

"What's wrong? Did you notice something off?"

"There should be someone coming down from that tower next to the dock soon."

Hearing the tension in Mona's voice, Luo An chuckled and said:

"This person is likely an accomplice or subordinate of Zachary. If conditions allow, you guys could try tracking him; there might be unexpected gains.

Also, do not head to the next location immediately, wait for my notice."

"OK."

After hearing Luo An's instructions, Mona turned to look at Levis, who then glanced towards Group Leader Owen.

Seeing this, Group Leader Owen nodded immediately:

"No problem, I'll send someone right away."

Soon, Luo An drove to the second location specified by Zachary, an abandoned warehouse.

However, Luo An did not rush to get out of the car, and sure enough, over half an hour later, his phone rang again with that enthusiastic voice:

"Sorry, Mr. Kote..."

"I know, another change of location, right?"

Luo An interrupted him before he could finish, and said with a smile:

"I know what you're worried about, I don't mind it, it's just a bit of time wasted, I'm willing to show my sincerity.

But when we meet later, I hope you can show some sincerity as well, OK?"

After Luo An's words, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, but eventually agreed:

"No problem!"

Now with the new address, Luo An drove off again, while also saying to the communicator:

"This time it should be fine."

"Alright!"

Hearing Luo An's words, Mona turned to look at Reesi, who immediately turned the key, then pressed the accelerator of the command vehicle.

This time's meeting place was at an abandoned dockyard in Southern Los Angeles.

After parking the car on the roadside, Luo An got out of the car, and it wasn't long before his phone rang again.

The phone still carried that enthusiastic voice:

"You arrived very quickly, Mr. Kote. I'm in the tin house not far from you!"

"OK."

Hanging up the phone, Luo An quickly walked into the large tin house.

There was a round table and two stools in the middle of the house, with a man sitting on one of the stools.

Seeing Luo An's figure, the man, dressed in a brown suit and sporting a trendy hairstyle, immediately stood up and laughed with open arms:

"Hello, Mr. Kote!"

"It's not easy to get a meeting with you, dear Zachary."

Ignoring the outstretched hand, Luo An glanced indifferently at the big box next to them, then sat down in the chair opposite Zachary, saying:

"Let's proceed with the transaction, I've already wasted enough time today."

"No problem."

Unperturbed by the refusal of his handshake, Zachary simply sat back down, shifting in his seat, and said:

"However, there's been a slight change in the situation, Mr. Kote."

"Is that so?"

Luo An eys narrowed slightly as he asked:

"What change?"

"The market has been a bit undersupplied lately."

Zachary leaned back, crossed his legs, and laughed:

"As you know, according to economic principles, when supply does not meet demand, prices go up."

"I didn't expect you to be an economist."

Luo An smirked and asked:

"The original price was 200,000; what have you raised it to?"

Zachary rubbed his hands together, chuckling:

"Not much, just 500,000."

"Fu-k!"

Hearing this, Luo An immediately became enraged and pulled out the black gun from behind him, aiming it at Zachary's head.

The next second, a woman holding a pistol suddenly jumped out from behind the large box Luo An had glanced at earlier, pointing her gun at Luo An and sternly said:

"Drop your weapon!"

"Let me introduce her, this is my bodyguard, Sofia."

Seeing the woman jump out, Zachary leaned back and spread his hands with a smile:

"I hoped..."

"I don't want to hear what you hope, Zachary."

Luo An interrupted Zachary before he could finish, speaking with a cold face:

"I'll say this one last time, I only have one goal here today, and that's to buy bombs!

And you, you've been wasting time, hiking up prices last minute, and even hiding a woman, showing no sincerity at all!

As for whether I'm afraid of dying, haha, I'm confident I can shoot you dead before this woman shoots me! What do you think?"

Though he said this, Luo An's eyes kept glancing at the woman.

He had noticed her earlier and had already prepared a dodging posture, confident in his chances of dealing with her.

Far away in the command vehicle, Levis and the other two looked tense, and Mona's group was also ready to provide support at any moment.

Inside the tin shack, Zachary looked distressed. He had only been enjoying the good life with plenty of cash for a few years, so after a moment of silence, he asked:

"So what do you want to do?"

Upon hearing this, Luo An, expressionless, said:

"Sell me the bomb, 200,000 at the original price."

"Impossible! 450,000!"

"250,000!"

"400,000!"

"300,000!"

"350,000!"

"290,000!"

Hearing this, Zachary's mouth twitched, a reverse price drop?

Luo An shrugged:

"Because I only brought 300,000 this time."

Zachary clapped his hands:

"Then 300,000 it is!"

"No!"

Luo An shook his head repeatedly:

"Just 290,000! When I came today, the organization gave me 300,000.

I had initially planned to keep 100,000 for myself, now there's only 10,000 left, no less!"

"..." x2

The faces of both people in the tin shack were filled with speechlessness.

However, both of them also realized something—that Luo An wasn't alone; he was sent by an organization.

It wouldn't be wise to kill Luo An, who knows if this bomb-loving organization would come after them afterwards; Zachary, who just wanted to make money, couldn't risk it.

This was also a part of Luo An's plan, so eventually Zachary extended his hand:

"Deal."

"Good."

Zachary first waved his hand to let Sofia put down her pistol, then Luo An also put down his gun and shook hands with Zachary.

After agreeing on the terms, Zachary saw the 300,000 genuinely green bills in Luo An's car, and immediately invited Luo An to his car to go get the bombs.

Luo An didn't refuse, holding the money bag in his left hand and a pistol in his right hand, sitting in the back seat of the car with Sofia.

Zachary drove the car for a long time, eventually arriving at an old factory complex in Southern Los Angeles.

Ledford trailed far behind in the command vehicle.

"Trust me, you're going to like this bomb."

Walking into a certain factory, Zachary led the way while loudly boasting:

"A ton of C4 explosives tied together in a miraculous way by my brother, including two detonation methods; the explosion is powerful enough to completely erase your target!"

"If that's the case, we'll definitely buy from you again in the future!"

Walking beside Zachary, Luo An showed a "very satisfied" expression on his face, but not long after, his nose twitched, and his brow furrowed.

Such a strong smell of blood!

Could it be that Zachary's brother accidentally blew himself up while making the bomb?
