Chapter 1768 - 1767: About Kidd
The welcome party came to an end. As the host, Ling Feng accompanied Smack to tour the already operational factory, staying busy until the afternoon.
When all the events finished, it was already evening.
By this time, all the county leaders had gone back, leaving only Smack and his people in the village.
Looking at Ling Feng, Smack chuckled, "Mr. Ling, it’s a rare occasion to be here. I won’t leave tonight. I hope it’s not an inconvenience to you?"
"Of course, no problem!"
Ling Feng nodded, "Mr. Smack, don’t worry. At my place, I’ll make sure to treat you with the highest standard!"
"That’s great!"
Smack nodded, "I’ve heard Mr. Ling is excellent at grilling. I wonder if I have the honor to taste it?"
"..."
Hearing this, Ling Feng was taken aback!
Being good at grilling was not something publicly known, very few people knew about it!
While Ling Feng was wondering how Smack knew about it, Smack chuckled, "No need to think too much, Mr. Ling, I found out about it in America. As for how, it’s simple, even among the Roth Family’s affiliates, I have my own people!"
Seeing that Ling Feng still looked puzzled, he continued to chuckle, "Mr. Ling single-handedly destroyed their factory, causing the Roth Family to lose billions in US Dollars. You probably don’t know why they were so furious, right?"
"Uh, I’m all ears!" Ling Feng said speechlessly.
"The method to enter the City of Gold was hidden in US Dollar bills. Losing the money was painful, but losing the method to access the City of Gold made them anxious!"
Smack chuckled, "I heard Mr. Ling took people to the site, but found nothing, right?"
Ling Feng looked at him and thought, this guy’s intelligence work is incredible, he actually knew that!
Rick and others were his own people, the information surely wouldn’t have leaked to Smack. This indicated that Smack had connections inside the Federal Bureau of Investigation!
Thinking of this, Ling Feng nodded, "Yes, it’s a pity, we all worked for nothing!"
"I’m mentioning this today, just to show you that I mean no harm, as we’re now in a cooperative relationship, I certainly won’t betray you!" Smack said with a smile.
Ling Feng smiled, "Thank you! Please come to my home and have a seat!"
"Alright!"
The accompanying personnel were entertained at the company, while Smack followed Ling Feng and Catherine, leaving the village committee office.
Arriving at Ling Feng’s home, seeing his house, Smack was stunned.
Seeing this, Ling Feng smiled, "This is where I’ve grown up, a bit plain!"
"Indeed it is!"
Smack nodded, looking at Ling Feng, "I didn’t expect Mr. Ling’s background to be from such a place!"
"What else?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.
"I thought, at least you’d be a rich second generation or something!" Smack said earnestly.
Ling Feng laughed heartily, "It’s not just the rich second generations who have the chance to skyrocket. The world is fair. As long as you have the ability, no matter your background, you can achieve something great!"
"Well said!"
Smack nodded, following Ling Feng into his home.
As he wished, dinner was a lavish barbecue feast prepared by Ling Feng in the courtyard.
As they ate and chatted, they talked about various things. The atmosphere seemed good, but in reality, both had their thoughts, just neither of them exposed it.
After a few cups of rice wine, feeling warm and tipsy, Ling Feng looked at Smack, "There’s something I don’t quite understand, so I’d like to ask for your advice!"
"Please feel free to ask, Mr. Ling, I’ll definitely speak frankly!" Smack said.
Ling Feng smiled, "Really? Alright then!"
Afterwards, he looked into Smack’s eyes, "You’ve invested so much money on my side and came to investigate in person, your sincerity is quite apparent. But I still don’t understand, do you really want to become my partner?"
"Of course, do you doubt it, Mr. Ling?" Smack asked.
"It’s not that I doubt it, it’s just a bit unexpected. After all, I’ve heard your level is not low now. Though I haven’t seen your personal strength, it seems to be no less than mine, right?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.
"How could that be?"
Smack shook his head, "Mr. Ling, you’re overthinking. My personal ability doesn’t even rank in the top hundred on the combat power list. How can I compare to you?"
"Is that so? But your technological strength is quite strong. I’ve heard that even the American government’s mecha project is supported by Mr. Smack’s technology!" Ling Feng asked.
"Technology is technology. In the face of Mr. Ling’s absolute strength, isn’t a mecha also vulnerable?"
Smack laughed, then continued, "I understand Mr. Ling’s concerns, but rest assured, I currently have no desire to compete with you, just hoping to become friends!"
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Ling Feng smiled, looking into his eyes, "Then I’m willing to believe Mr. Smack. In that case, I won’t be polite, please tell me about this person, Kidd!"
Ling Feng looked intently, seeing Smack’s heart sink, and he immediately asked, "Mr. Ling, you’ve asked about Kidd since we first met today, and now you bring him up again. What exactly do you mean?"
"What else could it mean? I’m very interested in this person and want to learn more as there’s too little information about him!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
Smack seemed unaware of Nina’s matter. After thinking about it, he said, "I don’t understand how you know about Kidd. He’s very low-key, and the outside world hardly knows of his existence!"
"Yes, precisely because of that, I’m extremely interested!"
Ling Feng smiled at Smack, "I’m very eager to know his whereabouts, can you help me?"
"This..."
Smack was clearly in a dilemma. After pondering, he said, "It’s not that I don’t want to help, truth be told, regarding Kidd, my apprehension is even heavier than yours!"
"Is that so?"
Ling Feng smiled, feeling that this guy was quite forthright, so he nodded, "If it’s really difficult, then forget it. Anyway, I’ll find news about him through other channels. I believe as long as he’s on Earth, I’m not afraid of not finding him!"
"I have no doubt about Mr. Ling’s abilities, but..."
Smack pondered again, "But Kidd possesses extraordinary abilities. Even superpower users might find it difficult to handle him!"
"Is he really that formidable?"
Ling Feng chuckled, "Then I’m even more eager to meet this person!"
"...."
Smack was at a loss for words, seriously looking at Ling Feng, realizing he wasn’t joking, sighed, "Alright then, I’ll tell you about him!"
