He was confident that with a five-hundred-pound heavy punch, even a male lion would tremble.
"Slap!"
Trevor Anderson's supremely confident heavy punch landed squarely in Lane's palm.
Immediately after, Trevor Anderson felt as if his fist was clamped by a vice.
"Professor Anderson, you are being very impolite!"
Lane squeezed Trevor Anderson's fist, his thumb pressing hard on the brass knuckles Trevor Anderson was wearing on his fingers.
*Clang!*
To Trevor Anderson's astonished gaze, the brass knuckles, made of fine steel, broke into several pieces, falling to the ground.
"I forgot to tell you just now, Miss Osgerson is also a guest at the Manor at the moment. I believe she would be very happy to meet you!"
A Geology professor who dared to pull out carnivorous plants with his bare hands and provoke Tyrannosaurus Rex would naturally not be intimidated by Lane.
This world did not lack superpowered individuals. The strength Lane displayed, strictly speaking, had not exceeded Trevor's understanding.
Just as Trevor was about to kick Lane in the groin.
Lane's next sentence completely enraged this seemingly gentle and refined, but actually muscular, Geology professor.
"You kidnapped Hannah!"
Trevor Anderson questioned Lane with a face full of fury. Although one hand was tightly clenched, it did not affect his momentum in the slightest.
"You misunderstand. Like you, our Boss merely wishes to give her a commission. Not only Miss Osgerson, but also young Mr. Anderson here, are included in our invitation!"
Sean Anderson had already quietly left the Ferrari sports car and was planning to sneak over to a nearby patrol car to call the police.
Lane's words immediately made him stop in his tracks, and he awkwardly turned his gaze towards his uncle.
"Are you after the Subterranean World?" Besides the Subterranean World, Trevor couldn't think of anything else that could involve all three of them simultaneously.
"I think your Boss is mistaken. The Subterranean World was merely my brother's fantasy. I organized his manuscript and wrote this *Journey to the Center of the Earth*. As an adult, you wouldn't actually believe there's an underground world, would you? That's just a science fiction novel!"
Trevor glanced out of the corner of his eye. A patrol car seemed to have noticed the commotion here. Two police officers got out of the police car and were walking towards them.
Lane also noticed the two police officers, but he merely nodded slightly. A Big man in black walked over.
To Trevor's disappointed gaze, the Big man in black simply took out a business card and handed it to the two police officers. The two police officers merely glanced at it, then turned around and returned to their police car.
Then, this patrol car fled as if chased by dogs, hurriedly leaving the area.
The attitude of the two police officers explained everything. Trevor knew very well what this represented.
The so-called Boss who invited him definitely had great power and influence in New York.
Moreover, Hannah was still in their hands.
"Mr. Anderson, please get in the car!"
Seemingly sensing Trevor's softening attitude, Lane released his hand, maintaining his polite demeanor. Trevor helplessly waved at Sean, called his nephew to his side, stroked his head, and asked Lane.
"Can we drive our own car?"
……………
"Uncle Trevor, why don't we shake them off at the next intersection!"
The flashy red Ferrari drove on the Highway, with the two black Mercedes-Benz cars escorting it in the middle, one in front and one behind.
Sean sat in the passenger seat of the Ferrari, turned his head to look at the black Mercedes-Benz car following closely behind, and suggested to Trevor.
"Hannah is still in their hands!"
Trevor frowned, somewhat helplessly stepping on the accelerator, following closely behind the Mercedes-Benz car in front.
"Sean, if there's a problem, I'll create an opportunity for you. You run as fast as you can, understand!"
Trevor turned his face, looking seriously at his nephew beside him.
His brother had died in the Subterranean World. He didn't want his nephew to also get into trouble.
"Don't worry, Uncle Trevor, we and Aunt Hannah will be fine. We made it through the Subterranean World, which was so dangerous!"
Sean, wise beyond his years, comforted Trevor.
Soon, the two followed the Mercedes-Benz car in front into a wealthy Villa area.
The black Mercedes-Benz car stopped at the entrance of a Chinese-style Manor.
Trevor turned the steering wheel and parked the Ferrari sports car.
"Tang Mansion!"
Trevor looked up at the large characters on the Manor's plaque, reading them out in his awkward Chinese.
"Professor Anderson, please come in!"
Lane had already gotten out of the car by this time. Hearing Trevor's Chinese accent, he was a little surprised.
However, he still politely invited the two in.
Lane led Trevor and Sean through the pavilions and water features within the Manor, arriving at the Reception Hall.
Along the way, a small water system flowed through the Manor, with streams winding their way. The path was paved with stone slabs, only three inches above the water surface. There were gaps between the blue stones, and from time to time, fish swam through beneath their feet.
The artificial stream flowed into an artificial lake within the Manor. Lotus flowers the size of bowls bloomed competitively in the lake.
Amidst the lotuses, one could occasionally see koi carp swimming in the lake, nibbling on the lotus petals floating on the water surface.
The water system created in this Chinese-style Manor left the two of them dumbfounded.
He was confident that with a five-hundred-pound heavy punch, even a male lion would tremble.
