Chapter 63
In the cave, chests of goods were lifted onto the vehicle, and soon the cave was completely emptied.
Felix finally walked out of the cave and coldly said, “Fill the cave
Twenty–five chests of goods filled up five full vehicles. The convoy spread out, each taking a different route towards the

Two vehicles traveled with Felix, heading into the steep and rugged mountainous area. All around was silent, with only the sound of the wheels crushing pebbles to be heard.
Felix expressionlessly glanced at the curve ahead not far away. “Stop,” he said.
“Yes. The bodyguards in black immediately stopped the car and expertly dispersed around the two vehicles.
Felix sat in the car, coldly looking ahead.
Soon enough, another car turned the corner and came to a stop. The door swung open, revealing Davidy’s portly frame.
He said, “Oh, I didn’t expect that. Mr. Harper, you’re actually interested in these things too? I just wonder if Mr. Ethan Harper knows about what you have done.”
Unfazed, Felix remained in his seat, the insult rolling off him like water off a duck’s back, his expression unchanging and dismissive.
But David didn’t seem to mind the cold shoulder. He kept his jovial smile intact as he stood there, propping himself up with a cane, a glint of scheming behind his smile.
The black–clad bodyguard, seeing David blocking the way, leaned toward the car and asked, “Mr. Harper, should we get him out of here right now?”
Felix’s expression remained unchanged as he lifted his left hand and waved it twice. The black–clad bodyguard immediately stood upright, looking coldly towards the opposite side.
Another black SUV turned out, and Felix’s gaze changed then. A man with a gentle temperament got out of the car. Yet, there was not much expression on his face. His indifferent appearance was quite similar to Felix.
He stood firm by David’s side. “Mr. Thomas, you called me out here just to snatch things that others have already reserved?”
David’s grin didn’t waver. “Mr. Quinn, these items became fair game when Caleb backed out of his deal. It’s a finders–keepers situation. We keep the spoils in our own backyard. In our circle, this is just business as usual, not theft.”
Aron scoffed inwardly, knowing all too well that a call from David meant trouble. ‘So Caleb broke a deal, he mused, but it’s clear now that keeping business in–house was just a convenient excuse. David showed me these goods yesterday to whet my appetite, hoping I’d do his bidding. He must’ve known Caleb would pass them off to someone else today if we came snooping around the cave yesterday. Playing the long game, aren’t you, David? With a look of contempt, Aron cast his eyes. on David. David’s acts were repulsive, even to Aron, the top arms dealer in the country.
“Gentlemen, if you’ve finished talking, will you step aside, or are you preparing to fight for the goods?” Felix asked.
Just as Aron was about to speak, a cold voice came from the car opposite him. He looked up, but the reflection from the car window only allowed him to see a vague and upright silhouette in the back seat.
And David probably guessed long ago that if we went to the cave yesterday, Caleb Ah, Mr. Harper, just as I mentioned, good things are meant to be shared by all. If you want to get a share, are you unwilling to make friends with us?” David walked forward with a smile but was stopped by the bodyguard in front of the car. He siniled indifferently.

Felix’s eyes were devoid of any emotion as he glanced at the silently standing Aron and then looked toward David. “Mr. Thomas, you are in your sixties. Why did you drag such a young man into this trouble?”
“I’m just helping him. Mr. Harper, you are so humorous,” David
