Trafford’s Trading Club - Chapter 891

Volume 10 – Chapter 42: Stop Lying! I’m Not Listening!
They were three hours late behind the agreed time with his men. Bucky still yet to show up.

For this reason, the subordinates who arrived here overnight from the remote base camp had already become impatient. However, no matter how they contacted their boss, they couldn’t get in touch with their boss.

Still, they didn’t dare to leave without authorization, but they couldn’t just wait like this. They would at least need a little clue to make sure that their boss Bucky didn’t encounter any accidents.

“I have peed for two bottles!”

“Who told you to drink so much? Can you throw away the bottle? This smell reminds me of the smell of my mother’s cattle at the farm.”

“Asshole.”

Someone carried away the two bottles with disgust and got out of a gray-white van.

At the same time, in the distance, two pairs of eyes were watching this scene. The owners of the eyes were Bucky and Cage, the prison car driver who had just become Bucky’s underling.

The twists and turns in life are often wondrous. Yesterday, Cage was a government staff member. Although this type of work might not be particularly noble and even considered a low-level work, he had somehow become an accomplice of a repeat offender on the next second.

Moreover, he accompanied the boss, spending an afternoon doing nothing, just staring at a gray-white old van.

Worse still, he even found out that the men in this car had resolved their physiological needs in the car for the past few hours… Emm, we are talking about urination.

“Boss Bucky, why do we keep observing them instead of going over? Aren’t they your men?” Cage found it puzzling that Bucky was even in the mood to read a magazine he had just bought from a street newsstand.

For some reason, Bucky’s first mission after becoming Bucky’s underling was to observe the person who came to pick them up.

“Don’t worry, keep staring at them.” Bucky languidly turned to a new page in the magazine. “If you’re too impatient, you can’t knock on the widow’s door, and there is no way for you to get the female college students you wanted. So relax and take your time.”

Cage said in curiosity, “Boss Bucky, is it because of what the beautiful lady said when we left the bar? She said about fortune-telling or something. Boss, did you believe it?”

In Cage’s view, Bucky was the car ride to a paradise filled with 50 female college students. He was determined to stick through it. However, when he was about to start the car engine, Bucky stayed idle and did nothing, which made Cage anxious.

We have been waiting for 3 hours, but there have been no accidents.

Although Cage was impatient to knock on the door of the widow’s room, the widow might have solved it by herself with her hands or strange props after waiting for 3 hours!

Cage was confident that Bucky had become so cautious because he heard what the woman named Charlotte said.

“Do I believe her nonsense? I’m an idiot to believe in her so-called fortune-telling.” Bucky shook his head, appearing disdainful, “That woman’s fortune-telling has never been accurate nine out of ten times. Let me tell you this. Anything she said with her fortune-telling would be the complete opposite of what unfolds. If her fortune-telling says good things are going to happen, things will go bad. But if the fortune-telling is the other way round, congratulations, you’re in a smooth sail.”

Cage was taken aback and even more puzzled, “Then since she said that things would be dangerous for you, wouldn’t it mean that everything will go well this time? But why are you still so careful?”

Bucky said even more disdainfully, “Because Charlotte wants to prove herself, that’s why I need to be more careful! Don’t overestimate this woman as if she is surrounded by mystery, giving her a vibe of being incredible. But In fact, she is a petty-minded idiot! I have already said that’s the normal circumstances! But this woman usually uses unorthodox methods to ensure her accuracy! I’m not afraid of police forces or those trying to take my life in the dark. I’m afraid of Charlotte!”

Cage said incredibly and authentically, “You mean, this woman will commit petty tricks behind our backs to make our situation dangerous?”

Bucky sighed, put down the new issue of “Playboy” magazine, and spoke like a thug leader with many stories, “We need to pay our due in this line of work. At the very least, let’s not die in the woman’s hand.”

Cage shook his head. He hadn’t reached that level. But, does this line align with our situation?

“Well, let’s continue to wait,” said Cage resignedly.

Bucky said suddenly, “No, you should approach them and get them to pick me up. It’s been a few hours. With Charlotte’s temperament, something would have happened a long time ago.”

“Boss, wouldn’t it be better for us to walk over?” Cage was still puzzled.

Bucky glanced at Cage indifferently and snorted coldly, “As a boss, I want my underling to pick me up. Is this the basic manner?”

Fuck, I sat for too long with one leg over another. My legs are numb.

“All right…” Cage nodded and walked directly to the van that had been parked for a long time.

But before that, Bucky put a baseball cap on Cage’s head and said calmly, “You take this to them. This is the sign that I told them before. If you just walk over, they won’t believe you.”

Cage nodded. He realized that thugs indeed had their way of doing things. He lowered his head, put his hands in his pockets, and crossed the road like this, approaching the van.

Only then did Bucky grit his teeth to move his raised leg down. Then, he massaged it quickly, hoping that the blood flow in his leg would improve when his underlings came over. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if he couldn’t stand up.

While massaging his calf, Bucky raised the toy binocular he bought on the roadside and watched Cage approaching the van.

It seemed that the other party had noticed that someone was approaching, and the approaching person was still wearing a hat. So two people in the van quickly got off.

Cage speeded up his pace at this time as if the paradise with 50 female students was waving hands at him.

However, when Cage raised his head to look at the people getting off the van, something happened!

Several men equipped with bulletproof vests rushed out! They moved swiftly while holding pistols in their hands!

Immediately after, they pushed Cage to the front of the van from behind, hurriedly subdued Cage, and pressed him on the front of the car with a gun pointed at his head!

Almost at the same instant, a dozen men in the same outfit rushed out of the surrounding area again. They surrounded the van parked in the alley.

The assaulting men yelled. Even though it was so far away and hard to hear what these guys were saying, Bucky could guess what they were speaking with his rich experience.

“Raise your hand. Don’t move! You are already surrounded. Quickly put down your weapons and surrender.”

Bucky couldn’t bother to care about Cage right now and left these guys who rushed out suddenly. He raised the magazine in his hand without saying a word, pretending to be captivated by the magazine. Then, he left and quickly mixed into the crowd before the agents realized they had caught the wrong people.

Fuck! Charlotte is a diviner. Nine out of ten times, she will mispredict it, but why did I bump into her correct prediction this time?

…

It wasn’t only Bucky who felt surprised. At this moment, on the rooftop of a particular building on the same street, the two spectators were also surprised.

Charlotte was still wearing a black suspender dress and black high heels, revealing a small piece of the snow-white calf. She held a black lace-rim umbrella, muttering to herself, “I didn’t expect it.”

As for the thing beside Charlotte, it was much uglier with a crocodile head. Its body was covered with dense cyan scales. Behind it was a huge bat-like wing, composed of bone and skin. The wings were about 10 centimeters above the ground, keeping the thing floating above the ground.

It also muttered to itself, “That’s quite unexpected.”

Its whisper was soft. Even Charlotte could hardly hear it.

At this moment, the agents underneath noticed that they had caught the wrong person. A large number of their men began to scatter, frantically searching the surrounding scenes. Charlotte smiled and said with pride, “Haha, did you see that? My fortune-telling is accurate.”

“Praise you, the Great Lord Charlotte.” The demon-like thing exclaimed at this time, “You’re really our guiding light.”

Charlotte stretched and yawned at this time. “I was worried that nothing would happen to Bucky, so I came here to take a look. Now that I see something went wrong with him, I feel relieved. Then, let’s go back and replenish our sleep! Lack of sleep during the day will make my skin worse.”

With that, the mysterious Charlotte and the demon-like servant left.

…

“It shouldn’t be? Why did Charlotte’s divination be fulfilled this time?” Bucky scratched his head and couldn’t understand why this “guiding light” would extinguish!

However, compared to Charlotte’s divination this time, Bucky was more concerned about why there were so many agents rushing out suddenly!

It stood to reason that Lucifer’s underlings prepared the phone he used. Although those fellows were dangerous and treacherous, at least the quality of the things they used was excellent. So the officials couldn’t locate him through the phone.

Could it be that Cage leaked my location?

Bucky quickly denied this idea because he and Cage stuck to each other all day long. This fellow spent the night with a female demon beast and fell unconscious. There was no way for him to do anything at all.

Then, there was only one possibility left. His underlings were the problem!

Bucky kicked the trash can that he had just passed by annoyedly. He was depressed. As expected, I need to pay back the due I owe! It seems after I betrayed Roger and buried him in the theater, it’s my turn to get crossed right away!

As Bucky ruminated in the thoughts of being betrayed, he became panic-stricken.

The person he called for help was a brother who had been with him for more than ten years. But such a brother betrayed his whereabouts in the end. Things had gone out of his control!

During his imprisonment, he handed most of his business to this confidant. Since this man had betrayed him, God knows how much his property was embezzled without him noticing.

Fuck you!

I knew how nice it would be to let me stay in prison forever!

“He’s over there! Hurry! Stop him from the front!”

The sudden shout startled Bucky, who was in deep thoughts. Fuck, I can’t run away from those agents in the end.

Bucky ran with his life, but he was already gasping for breath after a 100 meters sprint.

No, it can’t end like this!

I have been enjoying my time in prison. Unfortunately, I didn’t exercise enough in the past few years.

What exactly lies in front of me?

Suddenly, Bucky’s world dimmed down all of a sudden. Then, it suddenly lit up, bringing him to a place with warm lights. It was as if he had traveled through a century. Bucky noticed he was in a lobby decorated in an old style.

There seemed to be the sound of wind chimes reverberating.

“Fellow customer, do you want to buy something?” At the front counter, a black-haired young man looked at Bucky politely. A woman next to him, who was wiping an old record player with a rag, stopped at the same time.

…

It was like entering another world.

This place was quiet and refreshing, making him want to stay here for a long time. For a moment, Bucky couldn’t even feel the summer heat.

He opened his mouth in astonishment, then turned his head and looked at the old pinewood door. Outside this place seemed to be a different world.

This architectural style was the style that only the slums would adopt. But he clearly remembered that he was escaping for his life in the city.

But in short, I have temporarily resolved the danger?

Bucky breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the young man in front of the counter walked out slowly in a detour. His gaze was still fixed at Bucky. There seemed to be a hint of doubt and even curiosity.

Bucky met the young man’s gaze unexpectedly. There was an unspeakable sensation in his heart. This kind of gaze reminded him of Lucifer subconsciously.

In his memories, Lucifer had once looked at him like this.

That kind of indifference in the depths of the young man’s gaze was like the sense of supremacy when looking down at the ants.

“En, customer, there seems to be some kind of mark left on you.” The young man smiled slightly at this time, “Usually, customers like you can’t walk into this place, but…”

“But what?” Bucky heard the word ‘mark’ mentioned by the young man and couldn’t help but have his heart trembled. Did he see through something?

“Please have a seat first. We have ample time for a chat. How about letting us serve you a cup of scented tea to quench your thirst?” The young man smiled slightly, then put his hands to his ears and clapped gently.

The wooden stool that was resting on the side slowly moved to Bucky’s side. Then, the young man gave an inviting gesture.

Bucky dropped his jaws at this moment. Why is this scene so familiar?

“Don’t be nervous, customer.” The beautiful woman put down the rag. She smiled and said, “This is a place where we can sell everything. No matter what you need, you can find it here. However, those transactions require special things.”

Before she could finish her words, Bucky shivered and said quickly, “For example, use my soul or something, right?”

“This is one of the capitals that customers can use to make transactions.” The woman smiled slightly.

Bucky moved his lips at this moment, “Sure enough, it’s like this… this familiar feeling…”

The young man and the beautiful woman looked at each other curiously but saw that Bucky suddenly kicked the stool in front of him and sneered, “Huh! Do you think I’m a three-year-old kid!? I have long seen through your petty tricks!”

As he spoke, he reached out his hand and pointed at the young man suddenly, “Hmph, most probably you are a monster with sharp teeth, four legs, and a terrifying mouth!”

Then, he pointed at the beautiful woman again and snorted coldly again, “And you! Do you think you are beautiful!? No, you are a corpse with abscesses all over your body, exuding a foul stench and only a few hairs on your head! So!”

“So?” The young man frowned.

Bucky put his arms around his chest and snorted coldly, “Stop lying! I’m not listening!”
