Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Holy Lord's Brother!

Chapter 47 Betrayal
United States, California.

Da da da--

The sound of propellers turning could be heard.

A black private helicopter flew across the sky and landed steadily on the landing pad below.

The plane door opened and a figure walked out. It was Bess who escaped from the primitive jungle of Malaysia.

However, two days had passed since he left Malaysia. Beth successfully sold the pigeon blood stone to a mysterious rich man for 30 million gold through Jack's channels.

After settling her debt, Beth quickly obtained a dog charm from her grandmother.

Originally, Beth was planning to take a helicopter directly to the Malaysian primeval forest, hand over the dog talisman to Shentian, and complete the first transaction.

But on the way, he received a message from Rose, asking him to take the talisman to San Francisco. He wanted to study this so-called talisman before handing it over to Shentian.

Beth knew Rose's obsession with archaeology, and since she was helping her in various areas, she didn't refuse.

Striding forward and pushing open the door, Beth saw several figures sitting in this luxurious building.

In addition to Rose and Jack, there were two strange old men that Beth had never seen before.

One of the old men looked like he was dying, with age spots all over his wrinkled face.

Beth frowned, sensing something was amiss, but still said hello to Rose: "Rose, I brought you the talisman, but I don't have much time, so just take a simple photo!"

"There's no rush for this. Beth, come here first. I'll introduce you to my father's friend."

Rose stood up and pointed to the two elderly men beside her. "This is Mr. Bolton, the investor in this building. Mr. Bolton actually helped you sell your pigeon bloodstone."

"This is Mr. Han Wen, a very famous investor in California. Both of you are good friends of my father, and I also want to meet you this time."

Beth was stunned and didn't greet him enthusiastically.

Instead, he guessed something, reached out and grabbed Rose's wrist, pulled Rose aside, and said through gritted teeth: "Rose, tell me the truth, are you eyeing the talisman?!"

"The dog charm has the magical power of eternal immortality and youthfulness, so you want to sell the dog charm in my hand to these old guys, am I right?"

Rose struggled to break free and said angrily, "Yes, you are right, I told them the power of the dog charm!"

"You're crazy, this is the devil's stuff!" Beth cursed angrily. If he knew that Rose asked him to come here for this kind of thing, he would definitely not come.

Rose's face turned pale, but she didn't know what she was thinking. She said in a tough tone, "So what if it's a demon? Your grandfather got so many talismans from the demon, but he didn't get punished by the demon, did he?"

"you!!"

Bess clenched her fists.

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this time, Mr. Bolton, who was sitting on the sofa, said in a cold voice: "Boy, you don't have to embarrass Rose. We came here today just for the talisman."

"Give us the talisman. From today on, you are a friend of my Bolton family. Otherwise, I guarantee you won't be able to leave this building!"

As the old man finished speaking, several sturdy bodyguards walked out from the corner of the room.

If there were only five or six bodyguards, Beth would still be confident that she could escape from here.

But the bodyguard in front of him was wearing thick clothes, with his hands hidden under his clothes, and he was obviously holding something inside.

He was afraid that if he moved even slightly, the cold bullet would instantly pierce his head.

Thinking of this, Beth glared at him and said, "You are all crazy. This is the devil's thing. Aren't you afraid of the devil's revenge?"

"demon?"

"Hahahaha!"

Bolton seemed to have heard something funny, and laughed while leaning on his cane: "Do you think an old man like me is afraid of the devil?" "You guys!!"

Beth looked around and finally landed on Rose: "Rose, are you sure you want to do this? Didn't you see what happened at the beginning? It's not too late to stop now!"

Rose bit her red lips tightly, and the scene in the cave that day emerged in her mind. Both the shadow soldiers and Shentian gave her a great sense of oppression, which she could not forget until now.

But just as Rose showed a look of hesitation, Bolton snorted coldly: "Girl, don't forget that your father's company is on the verge of bankruptcy."

"With just one word from me, the entire Rose family will be plunged into an irretrievable situation!"

As soon as these words came out, Rose's pretty face turned pale instantly, and she swallowed back the words on her lips: "Sorry, Beth"

"Ugh"

Beth sighed softly, knowing that she would not be able to take the dog talisman away today, so she walked forward and threw the talisman on the table.

"I hope you're prepared for the devil's revenge!"

"Haha, then let the devil come!" Bolton picked up the dog talisman without paying any attention.

Immediately, the talisman flashed.

The magic of immortality was transmitted to Bolton, and Bolton suddenly felt that his old body became light. He usually needed a cane to walk, but now he could take a step of two or three meters, as if he had returned to the past.

"well!"

"Is this the magic of the spell?!"

Bolton said excitedly.

Beth glanced at Bolton, thinking he was looking at a dead man, pushed open the door, turned around and walked towards the helicopter.

A bodyguard asked, "Boss, are you going to kill him?"

Bolton's face turned cold and he said, "Let him go. An ordinary person can't pose a threat to me, not to mention that I now possess the power of the talisman!"

"Yes!" The bodyguard retreated respectfully.

After leaving the building, Beth flew directly to Malaysia by helicopter.

A few hours later, the plane landed on the beach, and Beth returned to the cave according to the marks left when he left.

I jumped down the cave along the rope, and as soon as I landed, three shadowy soldiers walked out of the darkness.

Bess said nothing, but followed the shadow soldiers into the depths of the cave.

Shentian opened his eyes and said, "I don't sense the aura of the talisman from you. It seems you failed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two shadowy soldiers drew out their swords and put them on Bess's neck.

Beth's expression remained unchanged as she recounted everything that had happened in the building. "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I'm willing to pay any price."

After hearing this, Shentian ordered the black shadow soldier to put down his knife and said, "I see. I hate betrayers the most."

"Then how do you plan to punish them? Kill them directly?" Beth asked.

Shen Tiandao said: "No hurry, I am trapped here and it is difficult for me to use magic. I need you to take me to a suitable place first."

"I think the remaining funds you have are enough for you to send someone to take me away from here!"

"enough."

"Okay, then take me to San Francisco."
