Chapter 79 Supreme VIP Card
Emrys‘ expression darkened as he said, “Forget it. It was just a momentary impulse. I guess I better
not.”
“Hold on!” The stall owner hurriedly called out to him, “You said you wanted to buy it earlier, and we
already agreed on the price. How can you back out now?”
“I don’t want it anymore.”
“No way! How can you do business like this? How about one hundred and fifty?”
In the end, Emrys bought the worn–out bicycle for one hundred.
Franklin was filled with confusion. “Mr. Lund, why did you buy this pile of junk?”
The bicycle, from its frame to its chain, was covered in rust and practically immovable. It was nothing
more than a pile of scrap metal.
If it were to be sold to a scrapyard, it would probably be priced at no more than twenty or thirty.
It was a loss to buy it at one hundred.
“I’ve my own reasons.” Emrys flashed a mysterious smile.
After speaking, he carried the bicycle and left Antique City. Next, he went to a second–hand bicycle
store and called out to the shop owner, “Help me remove the rust from my treasure.”
When the shop owner came out and took a look, he was dumbfounded.
“Your bicycle is in such a terrible state. I don’t think there’s any need to remove the rust. Why don’t you
come inside and have a look at our bicycles? They may be second–hand, but they’re as good as new.”
“No need. I like my bicycle. Just help me remove the rust.”
The shop owner had never encountered a customer like this before. He circled the bicycle, observing it
closely before his expression darkened. “Young man, I don’t think you’re here to remove rust. You’re NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
here to cause trouble, aren’t you?”
Damn it! Not only are the frame and chain in such a bad condition but not even a single screw is intact.
Why does he want to remove the rust? I’m sure he’s here to cause trouble!
Emrys was at a loss for words when he saw the shop owner’s grim expression. In order to demonstrate
that he wasn’t there to cause trouble, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a black card, offering it
as a gesture of his sincerity.
“The supreme VIP card from the Chanaea Chamber of Commerce!”
The shop owner’s expression changed once again.
Suddenly, he realized something and quickly apologized to Emrys. “Sir, I apologize for my offense
carlier. I will remove the rust from your beloved bike right now.”

Chapter 79 Supreme VIP Card
3
The VIP card from the Chanaea Chamber of Commerce instantly conveyed Emrys‘ prestigious status.
Why is he so determined to remove rust from this old bicycle, then? It must be of personal significance
to him. Perhaps the bicycle was passed down from his deceased grandfather? The minds of wealthy
individuals are often difficult to fathom.
As the shop owner contemplated this, he decided not to offend Emrys and got ready to remove the rust
from the bicycle. However, his wife suddenly pulled him aside and whispered, “I have a feeling that his
card might be stolen.”
Stolen?
A sudden realization jolted the shop owner’s mind.
He recalled a recent news report about a wealthy businessman whose house had been burglarized.
Among the items stolen were cash and a supreme VIP card from the Chanaea Chamber of Commerce.
Is this the stolen card?
The shop owner asked, “Didn’t the Chanaea Chamber of Commerce offer a reward of one hundred
thousand for information about this black card?”
His wife added, “The victim also promised a personal reward of one million for catching the thief.”
“One million?”
The couple’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
With that amount of money, why bother running a second–hand bicycle shop? They could invest the
money in other ventures and make it grow. That sounded like a much more enticing plan.
“Honey, call the Chanaea Chamber of Commerce’s customer service hotline. I’ll try to keep him
occupied for now,” the shop owner instructed.
“All right.”
With that, the couple sprang into action.
The shop owner stepped back into the store, engaging Emrys in polite conversation as he took his time
removing the rust from the bicycle. He skillfully concealed his true intentions and maintained a natural
expression.
Although Emrys saw through their facade, he decided to play along.
He was curious to see what game this couple was playing.
Fifteen minutes later, a black business car arrived at the second–hand bicycle shop. A well–dressed
man and two plainclothes police officers stepped out of the car.
