Chapter 509 - 313: I’ve Had Enough of This Punk
Staring at the golden cup for a moment, Pedro Langley suddenly remembered where that familiar feeling came from.
Taking out his phone, Pedro Langley opened the chat history with "Second Brother."
[Second Brother]:[Image]
[Second Brother]:A valuable antique bought by the Durant family in the northwest was stolen.
[Second Brother]:[World Celebration]
[Second Brother]:[World Celebration]
...
[Second Brother]:I’ve always disliked that bastard.
The image was a photo of the golden cup and a news report about the theft.
This message was sent three days ago.
Because the content was so silly and Pedro Langley wasn’t interested, he never replied.
But now—
[Pedro Langley]:Just saw it.
[Pedro Langley]:Do you have any news on who stole it?
Three minutes later, his phone vibrated.
[Second Brother]:You liar, just saw it.
[Second Brother]:Interested now?
[Second Brother]:I’m not telling you.
Pedro Langley glanced at the time and replied to the message.
[Pedro Langley]:Three in the morning.
[Second Brother]:I’m abroad.
[Second Brother]:You don’t even know where I am?
[Second Brother]:Didn’t I mention it in the family chat group earlier?
The family chat group had long been muted.
The Langley Residence is actually quite harmonious, without the overt and covert struggles of wealthy families. Seniors and juniors get along happily. But, unfortunately, the family has a few "blabbermouths" who quarrel at the drop of a hat. When they’re not arguing, they just chatter on their own, filling the screen for half a day.
Unfortunately, at Marsh Langley’s home, the second in line, Thomas Langley, is one of those "blabbermouths."
A few years back, he was getting more daring and energetic, and liked to drag Pedro Langley into the fray, tagging him repeatedly.
Because of this, Pedro Langley often blacklisted Thomas Langley.
Until the past couple of years when Thomas Langley got busy spinning like a top all over the world, and had no time to bother him, Pedro stopped blacklisting him as much.
Pedro Langley ignored Thomas and exited WeChat, searching for news on the "Durant family’s stolen golden cup" in the northwest.
This matter was huge.
The amount of money involved was significant.
However, the related news reports were few and far between. Clearly, this kind of remote social news didn’t attract much attention.
Robert Durant was a nickname; his real name was Marvin Durant. But the burly man with a bushy beard found by searching had nothing to do with his real name. His nickname, however, fit him well, as he was a rough and tough character.
The family’s business was antiques. Pedro Langley glanced at a few of their stores and found them quite familiar, being a national chain.
Online useful information was scarce.
Pedro Langley frowned slightly.
——Why would the stolen golden cup appear in Nora Scott’s backpack?
——Did she have someone do it, did she do it herself, or was it obtained by accident?
——If it was really her, what was the purpose?
He understood Nora Scott; she had her own principles. Although she did things according to the rules of the underworld, they were within reason and rationale. The law was a red line she absolutely wouldn’t cross.
However, the only thing that could be confirmed was—
Robert Durant was definitely not a good person.
[Second Brother]:Where are you?
[Second Brother]:??
[Second Brother]:Fine, I’ll tell you.
At the top of the screen, messages were jumping in. It was Thomas Langley, unable to hold back in silence, voluntarily conceding.
Pedro Langley opened the messages and replied.
[Pedro Langley]:Talk.
[Second Brother]:...
[Second Brother]:Every time with the cold shoulder, every time I fall for it.
[Pedro Langley]:If you have the guts, keep holding it in.
[Second Brother]:...
[Pedro Langley]:Let’s talk business.
[Second Brother]:It was stolen in early April. The Durant family bought the golden cup wanting to showcase it in a national cultural relic exhibition to make a splash. So, they valued the golden cup highly.
[Second Brother]:But the person who stole the golden cup was truly a wonder.
[Second Brother]:After learning that they had purchased the golden cup, they proclaimed that the Durant family was too evil and unworthy, and promised to intercept it before the golden cup reached Anchel. Originally, Robert Durant didn’t take it seriously, but within two days, this mysterious figure left a threatening letter in his home without anyone knowing.
[Pedro Langley]:No clues left behind?
Pedro Langley couldn’t resist sending the message.
Now that the golden cup appeared in Nora Scott’s backpack, it was hard not to subconsciously place Nora Scott in the scenario...
[Second Brother]:No, there’s not a single clue.
[Second Brother]:Also, it’s pretty interesting. I went out of my way to investigate, and it seems legit.
[Second Brother]:The world is big, with all kinds of talented individuals.
No clues left is good.
Pedro Langley signaled Thomas Langley to keep talking.
[Second Brother]:In the end, it really got stolen.
[Second Brother]:It’s said that on the day of transport, Robert Durant had many people guarding it, layer after layer.
[Second Brother]:The golden cup departed from Sand Delta, first to Lanel, then transferred to Anchel. Apparently, it got stolen in Sand Delta, and they only realized it in Lanel.
