Chapter 1252: Robbery

While Lin Rui was in contact with Bucky upon his arrival in Wakanda and T’Challa was being prepared to meet his former girlfriend and return to the real Wakanda to ascend to the throne, on the other side of the Earth, a significant event closely related to Wakanda was unfolding in London.

London, which had experienced the Dark Elf invasion event, had not been left in ruins. Instead, it had become even more prosperous after the reconstruction work was completed.

After all, not every city could withstand an extraterrestrial civilization invasion and remain intact. Furthermore, being the only city invaded by an extraterrestrial civilization added to its allure, attracting more tourists.

On this day, a seasoned antique and artifact dealer in London received a large order from a wealthy client. The client requested a private guide for the antique and artifact exhibition scheduled for that day. So, after hastily grabbing a cup of coffee on her way, the antique dealer rushed to the exhibition hall.

Upon arrival at the exhibition hall, the woman spotted her client for the day, a fashionable young black man. The experienced antique dealer began explaining the origins of the various artifacts to the seemingly interested client, all the while sipping her coffee.

However, the client did not display any desire to purchase any of the items until they reached a glass case containing a particular weapon.

“What is this?” the young black man asked with great interest, pointing at the weapon inside the glass case.

“This should be from the Fula Tribe…”

“No…”

“Uh, what do you mean?”

“No, it was taken by the British from Benin, but in reality, it comes from Wakanda. But it doesn’t matter; I’m taking it with me.”

“Um… This is not for sale.” Sensing that her client was acting strangely, the female antique dealer kindly reminded him.

“Heh, that’s okay… You should pay attention to the coffee you’ve been drinking.”

Then, holding a half-full cup of coffee, the woman suddenly felt an uncomfortable sensation in her body. She stared at the man in disbelief, clutching her stomach, before slowly collapsing.

“Hey! Hey! We need help here! We need medical assistance!!”

…

Two minutes later, two paramedics rushed out from the rear door of the exhibition hall, pushing a stretcher. However, it wasn’t the woman who lay on the stretcher; it was the young black man. A vehicle disguised as an ambulance was waiting for them on this side. After getting into the vehicle, they immediately departed.

Shortly after this ambulance left, the entire neighborhood was cordoned off by the police. It turned out that there had been a robbery at the exhibition hall just now. Three security personnel and one antique dealer were killed, and two artifacts were stolen.

There was no doubt that the young black man and his accomplice, who had disguised themselves as paramedics, were the culprits.

The young black man who had just staged a performance at the exhibition hall was none other than N’Jadaka, the son of the previous king’s brother of Wakanda who had been exiled.

He was also another important character in the Black Panther storyline. As for his accomplice or his boss, it was Ulysses Klaue, who had previously stolen vibranium from Wakanda with N’Jadaka’s father’s assistance.

Their target this time was the suspected Fula Tribe weapon that had been placed in the exhibition hall, but it was actually made of vibranium and had been lost from Wakanda a long time ago.

Only someone like N’Jadaka, who was considered a core member of Wakanda, could be aware of vibranium that had been lost to the outside world, even though he had been abandoned at a very young age.

Since Ulysses had known about the mysterious country of Wakanda many years ago and had managed to steal a batch of vibranium from there with N’Jadaka’s father’s help, he naturally understood the immense value of vibranium.

With the vibranium he had stolen from Wakanda, Ulysses had made significant gains and built a network of associates and influence.

After N’Jadaka’s father’s death, gaining access to vibranium in Wakanda had proven to be an immense challenge for Ulysses. So, he recruited N’Jadaka to work alongside him. However, he was unaware that N’Jadaka was, in fact, the brother of Wakanda’s king and the heir to the throne.

Soon after robbing the vibranium stored in London, Ulysses quickly found a buyer. They set the meeting place in South Korea, where Ulysses had his own base. However, Wakanda placed a high value on vibranium, and upon receiving news of the theft in London, they promptly reacted. Ꞧ𝖆ꞐỘβËᶊ

…

Skipping back to the second day after Ulysses stole the vibranium in London, within the heart of the real Wakanda, the ceremony for the new king’s ascension was about to commence.

However, at this very moment, the newly appointed king, T’Challa, was not in Wakanda. After bringing Nakia back, T’Challa had once again departed. As for his whereabouts, only his sister knew. If their mother and the general were aware of his intentions, they would not be pleased.

“Brother, are you really going to do this?” T’Challa’s sister asked as she connected with him from the advanced laboratory in the Wakandan royal palace. “If Mom and the others find out, they won’t be happy. Inviting a foreigner during the ascension ceremony has never happened before.”

“Didn’t I already take action? Besides, times have changed, and it’s time for Wakanda to make some changes too. Moreover, I am the king now; shouldn’t they listen to me?” T’Challa replied nonchalantly from the other end of the communication.

“Yes, my king!”

“Alright, don’t worry about me. I’m just bringing a friend to visit Wakanda, what could go wrong?”

“Then it’s up to you. Just remember to keep it a secret for now. And if Mom scolds you later, don’t drag me into it! Also, don’t forget the timing of the ascension ceremony!”

“Understood!”

With the communication ending there, neither T’Challa nor his sister was particularly concerned about bringing an outsider into the heart of Wakanda. After all, they were both young and not overly attached to Wakanda’s long-held traditions.

Huffing softly, after ending the call with his sister, T’Challa’s aircraft had already flown over the capital of Wakanda and landed just above Bucky’s apartment. Thanks to the spaceship’s stealth capabilities, T’Challa was not worried about being detected. Once the aircraft had settled, T’Challa simply descended from it.

However, when T’Challa arrived above Bucky’s apartment and was about to invite him to attend his ascension ceremony in person, he found that he was not alone. Lin Rui, who had arrived the day before, was also present in Bucky’s apartment.
