The lawn around Baldwin's mansion was neatly trimmed, and there was a lotus pond next to the courtyard. It was designed to complement the outdoor leisure area.
"How is this a mansion? It's almost a park!" Lin Ge stared. Baldwin's house was bigger than Tiananmen Square! What kind of joke was this?
Although Baldwin and Natasha didn't contact or make any arrangements beforehand, there were at least fifteen armed mercenaries in the mansion. They were all looking at Xu Yun and Lin Ge in surprise.
Xu Yun and Lin Ge naturally wouldn't have any scruples about such a small scene. They had seen large groups of hundreds of people before.
Although those people might not be as professional as these guys, compared to the scene here, the scene here was really too small.
These people were much more well-behaved than the ones before. They didn't directly start a fight. Perhaps they felt that the people Baldwin brought back were important guests, and they shouldn't scare them. Therefore, they didn't do anything too overboard. Instead, they greeted them respectfully.
Baldwin was someone who cared about his status and reputation. Natasha knew this very well. Although the weather here wasn't very good, if they caused too much of a commotion in broad daylight, people would say that Baldwin was "kidnapped," and they would lose face in the future.
Therefore, even if they wanted to make a move on Xu Yun and Lin Ge, they wouldn't choose to do it now.
"Baldwin, you're really something. You have mercenaries as security guards at home. With the salary of these few people, you should be able to hire at least two hundred normal security guards, right?" Lin Ge looked at Baldwin and said.
Baldwin calmly replied, "They were all introduced by some friends. Some of them are from the Marines, and some are from the Foreign Corps."
"I can see that all of them are in high spirits. They're definitely not on the same level as those small fries," Xu Yun said.
As they spoke, the few of them walked through the long hallway and into the house. The large floor-to-ceiling windows filled the living room with plenty of light and a wide view. It blended in with the beautiful scenery outside.
The entire living room was covered with a large plush carpet, making everything look particularly elegant. It also made people feel that the room was particularly warm and comfortable, adding a sense of tranquility.
"There's nothing for you to do here. You can all leave." Natasha waved her hand and ordered all the servants to leave.
Lin Ge looked around at the luxurious decoration and design of the house. "You're really good. Not simple."
This could really be considered a super mansion. There were 15 bedrooms, 20 bathrooms, 8 fireplaces, 3 meeting rooms, a medium-sized meeting room, a reception room, a bar, and a cinema. There was even an indoor swimming pool and an outdoor swimming pool. There was even an indoor tennis court and an outdoor tennis court …
Lin Ge was too curious about this luxurious residence and insisted that Baldwin show them around.
Baldwin had no other choice but to comply obediently.
When they reached the indoor basketball court, Lin Ge couldn't help but scold him. "I didn't even say anything about you building a tennis court outside. You're not even a professional tennis player. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Building an indoor basketball court? Are you a professional basketball player? Big Yao doesn't even have one at home! Look at your 'graceful and luxurious' figure. You'll be out of breath after dribbling the ball back and forth, right? "
You couldn't blame Lin Ge for ridiculing him. The facilities and scale of Baldwin's basketball court were very standard. It was built strictly according to the standards of a standard basketball court. There was even a hardwood floor, adjustable brackets, and a basket.
In addition, it was equipped with a competition-level high-intensity lighting system and an expensive and luxurious sound system, which could be used to create awesome sound effects.
For someone who probably hadn't even touched a basketball a few times to build such a luxurious basketball court at home, it was a waste of resources!
Xu Yun saw that there was a basket of basketballs in the court. It was very clean. The servants probably cleaned it every day, even if no one came here. He walked up to take a basketball and passed it to Lin Ge.
Lin Ge received the ball and looked at Baldwin. He actually passed the ball to Baldwin. "Have you never shot a basketball before?"
"When it was first built, I came to play once." Baldwin sighed. In fact, he was a person who especially loved basketball. When he was young, he would squeeze out time to play basketball on the court every day. He liked it, but there weren't many people who liked to play basketball in Boston. More people liked to play football.
Before he embarked on the path of crime, Baldwin's dream was to become an American basketball superstar.
That was because an American basketball superstar could change his fate. As long as he entered the American basketball court, he could earn millions of dollars in contracts and become the cream of the crop. Baldwin grew very quickly when he was young. Before he was ten years old, he was already 1.7 meters tall. This made him have endless longing for his dream.
However, Baldwin's height stopped when he reached 1.7 meters. This caused Baldwin to fall into the abyss year after year.
Baldwin didn't have super talent, super jumping ability, or an abnormal body. He didn't even have the most basic height. This caused his dream to quickly shatter.
Although there were players who were 1.7 meters tall who became stars in the American basketball court, the upper limit was forever a star. They couldn't become superstars, let alone superstars. They could only be stars who were one level higher than role players. That was all.
Baldwin hadn't jumped in a long time. He jumped up and shot a ball. His shooting posture was very standard, but the ball bounced out of the basket.
Xu Yun took a big stride forward and jumped high into the air. He grabbed the rebound and dunked the basketball into the basket.
When Xu Yun landed on the ground with a bang, Baldwin was so shocked that he was speechless. Xu Yun had been in the corner just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, he had rushed forward and landed a beautiful dunk. His physical fitness was too explosive, even though he did not look strong on the surface.
"Your posture is quite standard. You just haven't played in a long time, right?" Xu Yun looked at Baldwin and said.
Baldwin nodded. "I used to play when I was young. Later … I didn't have time."
"When you were young, those were all ancient mythical beasts." Xu Yun said, "Do you not have time to watch the American basketball court now?"
Baldwin smiled. "I was indeed very young back then. The NBA wasn't as good as it is today. Even Jordan had just debuted. The stars now, hehehe … I don't even know who Kobe is. Tell me, do you think I'll be able to watch basketball?"
"He's retired." Xu Yun waved his hand. "Alright, let's not waste time. You can't play basketball anymore. The tennis court is probably just a decoration. The only thing you can play now is the small golf course behind, right?"
Baldwin nodded. This was the only sport in which he was still in the mood to swing a couple of clubs.
"You have a golf course at home?" Lin Ge stared. "No way?"
"Didn't you see the one behind? It's small, "Xu Yun said.
Lin Ge thought for a moment. "Aiyo, that's a small golf course. I thought it would be a large gate course. I was wondering why this guy was so extravagant. The gate course is so big. Isn't it tiring to play?"
Baldwin looked at them with a puzzled expression. He had no idea what kind of sport goalball was.
I'm afraid that in the entire world, only the Huaxia Old Cadre Activity Center has goalball facilities, right?
"Baldwin, we'll leave after we get the list." Xu Yun said, "We've given you a lot of time to think. What's your decision? Do you want to cooperate with us peacefully and give us the list directly, or do you want to do something so that we can snatch the list and leave? "
Baldwin was stunned. No wonder Xu Yun and Lin Ge didn't rush to ask him for the list. They already had an idea and were giving him a chance!
"Do you think I'll make things difficult for you?" Baldwin asked.
Xu Yun smiled. "Wouldn't you?"
"You've seen it. We've been safe since we came to Columbus. No one has made trouble for you," Baldwin said. "Even when you came to my house, my mercenaries treated you as VIPs. They didn't mean any disrespect."
Xu Yun nodded. "What else? Go on."
"I have nothing to say. That's all. I've cooperated with you. There's no need for you to doubt me, right? "Baldwin said." If you must doubt me, I have nothing to say. "
Xu Yun still had a faint smile on his face. "Okay, you can say whatever you want. Is it my turn now? "
