To further their investigation, Lynn and Mark decided to infiltrate and go undercover, posing as potential buyers to contact these underground brokers. They found a possible contact in a Las Vegas casino named Andrew Reynolds, a long-time acquaintance of the Blood Hawk gang who had been arrested for involvement in illegal gambling but never prosecuted. Andrew had extensive connections in Las Vegas casinos, and Lynn and Mark decided to contact him under the guise of purchasing organs.

Andrew's casino is located in a secluded neighborhood in the city. Although it is inconspicuous on the outside, its luxurious interior attracts many high-end customers. Lynn and Mark found a way into the casino through an acquaintance. They posed as "customers" and pretended to be businessmen interested in buying organs, inquiring about Andrew's situation.

Upon entering the casino, Lynn and Mark didn't rush into action. Instead, they wandered around, observing their surroundings. The gambling tables were surrounded by bustling crowds; some were whispering, others intently watching the cards. But Lynn's gaze never left Andrew's table. He knew this connection might be the only clue to the Blood Hawk's core.

Finally, Andrew's gaze swept over Lynn and Mark. He beckoned them over, gesturing for them to come over. Lynn and Mark went over and sat down opposite Andrew. Andrew didn't directly ask their intentions, but instead smiled and said, "It seems this is your first time here. The Las Vegas gambling tables are a great place. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Lynn smiled and replied, "We've heard you're the most knowledgeable person in this industry, and we have some specific needs that we hope you can help us with."

Andrew chuckled lightly: "Demand? I've heard you're a bit of a special bunch of businessmen, coming to Las Vegas to look for new investment opportunities. You're not looking for ordinary business, are you?"

Lynn nodded. "We need some 'special' products." He paused slightly, his gaze landing directly on Andrew's eyes. "Some products that can give people a new life."

Andrew's expression shifted slightly, as if he were weighing Lynn's words. After a moment, Andrew gave a cold laugh: "You know more than I think. I can find what you need, but you should know that these kinds of 'special' products are not cheap, and many things cannot be made public during the transaction."

“We are willing to pay the corresponding price,” Lynn responded, “as long as you can guarantee that we will get what we need.”

Andrew was silent for a moment, then stood up and gestured for Lynn and Mark to follow him. “If you really want something, you’d better be prepared. I can take you to someone who can provide you with the ‘special’ product you need.”

Lynn and Mark's hearts skipped a beat; they knew their operation had finally found a breakthrough. Andrew led them to a private room behind the casino. Inside sat a middle-aged man in a black suit, his face cold and his eyes sharp—clearly a figure with powerful connections. Andrew introduced Lynn and Mark to him, and the man's gaze swept over them, lingering for a moment before he spoke calmly, "What you want, I can find for you. Price is not a problem. But you must understand that such a transaction requires more than just money."

Lynn was shocked, realizing that this deal had entered the deepest part of the darkest world.

Lynn and Mark sat in the private room, facing the aloof middle-aged man, their feelings conflicted. Although the place lacked the outside hustle and bustle, it was filled with an unsettling atmosphere. The man before them was clearly no ordinary person; to survive in this dark world, he must have powerful backing. Lynn and Mark remained vigilant. Despite their perilous situation, they knew that they were drawing ever closer to uncovering the truth behind the Blood Eagle Gang.

The man didn't speak immediately, but instead coldly scrutinized them. His gaze was oppressive, as if he could see right through them. Lynn took a deep breath, maintaining his composure and trying to remain impassive. What followed would determine whether they could obtain the Blood Eagle Gang's core clues, or even destroy this entire dark network at its root.

"Why have you come to me?" The man's voice was deep and powerful, carrying an undeniable threat.

Lynn smiled slightly and replied in a calm tone, "We have some 'special' needs, and we've heard that you can provide what we need. We are willing to pay the corresponding price for it."

The man was silent for a moment, his gaze lingering on the night view outside the window, as if deep in thought. He slowly turned his head, his gaze still cold and stern: "What you want isn't an ordinary commodity." He then fixed his eyes on Lynn and Mark. "I can help you find what you want, but remember, this isn't a simple transaction. Your identities shouldn't be easily revealed. Many people are watching this market, wanting to profit from it in various ways. What you want can only be done underground."

Lynn nodded, knowing this man wasn't one to reveal information easily. He remained calm and continued, "We need some special organs, the kind that can have a significant impact on ordinary people. We already know you have these resources. We just want to ensure we get everything we need in the transaction."

The man smiled, a cold sneer in his eyes: "You know quite a lot. Organ trafficking is a dirty industry. No one can easily get into it unless you are strong and smart enough. I know you are an outsider, but in this city, it's difficult for outsiders to get involved in these things. Although the Blood Eagle Gang has been hit hard by your actions for a while, its foundation is still there, and many people are still tied to its interests."

Lynn's heart skipped a beat upon hearing these words. Although he had long anticipated that the forces behind the Blood Eagle Gang were far more complex than they appeared, he had now finally received a clear hint from this mysterious man. This was not merely a matter of a gang organization; it involved a series of intricate underground transactions, transnational interests, and hidden power structures.

“Can you tell us more details about these deals?” Mark interjected, sounding more eager than Lynn. He had noticed the man’s caution in speaking and knew that if the deal went smoothly, it might open a new door for them. The man’s expression remained unchanged; he simply looked at them coldly: “Behind these deals, besides the Blood Eagle Gang, there are many more people involved. You think the Blood Eagle Gang can control this city, even cross borders, to conduct organ trafficking, but you’re wrong. The real masterminds are those high-ranking figures who have never been publicly identified. The Blood Eagle Gang is just one of their agents.”

Lynn and Mark exchanged a glance, both seeing deep shock and confusion in each other's eyes. What this person was saying was clearly on a level they had never imagined before. If the Blood Eagle Gang was merely an agent, what enormous interests were hidden behind it?
"Who exactly are these people?" Lynn asked, his voice low, afraid of revealing any urgency.

The man smiled slightly, but still didn't reveal any more information: "You want to know more? Fine, since you're willing to pay the price, I'll give you some clues." As he spoke, he bent down and took out a thick document from the drawer on the table, slowly placing it on the table. "These are the clues you want. You can go look for these names next; they hold a pivotal position in the organ trading market. Whether you can find the real mastermind of the Blood Eagle Gang from them is none of my concern."

Lynn looked at the documents on the table, a complex mix of emotions rising within him. The names in the documents were clearly key figures in these shady deals; if they could be traced, perhaps they could uncover the true face behind the Blood Eagle Gang.

"Thank you," Lynn said calmly, already analyzing the new information in his mind.

The man glanced at Lynn, then at Mark, a slight smirk playing on his lips, seemingly displeased. "You've managed to get this far, which shows you have some intelligence, but don't forget, the rules of this city aren't yours to call the shots. Your outside forces can only go this far. If you want to go any further, you'll need enough courage and strength."

Lynn didn't respond, fully aware of the strong threat in the man's words. Although they had obtained a clue from him, everything that followed would be even more uncertain. The underworld's transactions were not simply about money and organs; the levels of interests and power involved far exceeded their imagination.

Lynn and Mark picked up the documents, thanked the man, and left the private room.

After weeks of in-depth investigation, Lynn and Mark finally found a breakthrough through layers of complex clues. Despite the less-than-ideal performance of the Las Vegas police and other departments in this pursuit, Lynn, through his patience and intelligence, gradually approached the core of the Blood Hawk gang. Amidst these twists and turns, Lynn realized that to truly strike at this dark force, he must start from the most dangerous and hidden corners, capture a key figure, and thus completely destroy their power.

The breakthrough came from a Bloodhawk gang member named Mihai Kovac. Mihai was originally a high-ranking member of the Bloodhawk, responsible for managing important financial flows and transnational illicit transactions. He had a complex background, having engaged in criminal activities in multiple countries, and was a highly trusted figure within the gang. Lynn learned that Mihai's recent activities seemed to have changed; he was no longer appearing as frequently in the Bloodhawk's public affairs as before, but instead moving to more clandestine locations. Lynn decided to use this information to launch a further investigation.

After several days of careful planning, Lynn finally located Mikhail's whereabouts. Mikhail was currently hiding in an abandoned villa on the outskirts of Las Vegas. While the location was secluded, the surrounding environment was somewhat complex, hinting at a past as a high-level secret gathering place. Lynn, along with Mark and the other team members, quietly approached the villa, determined to seize this opportunity to capture Mikhail and force him to reveal more information about the Blood Hawk Gang's new stronghold.

Before the operation, Lynn didn't immediately reveal the details of the plan to everyone. He knew that such an operation was fraught with danger, and every step had to be precise; otherwise, if anything went wrong, Mikhail might escape before they could react. As Lynn and Mark approached the villa, a sense of tension gripped them, but they knew that this moment might be the key to the success or failure of the battle.

Mikhail's villa looked very dilapidated; the yard was piled with clutter, and the iron bars on the windows were rusted, giving the impression that the entire house had been abandoned for a long time. However, Lynn knew that behind these appearances might lie untold secrets. Through observation, Lynn realized that although the external environment was simple, the villa's security system was extremely tight. Multiple surveillance cameras, infrared sensors, and an iron gate locked the entrance, clearly indicating that it was being used as a secret base for some important transaction.

“It looks like Mikhail has been here for quite some time,” Mark said in a low voice, his eyes scanning the surroundings. “In any case, we need to act quickly.”

Lynn nodded, signaling everyone to get ready. "We'll split into two groups, one to flank from the side, and the other to attack from the front. Remember, don't let Mikhail escape."

As the operation began, Lynn and Mark led a group to quietly circle around to the side, while the rest of the team prepared to enter through the main entrance. Lynn's heart pounded. He knew that capturing Mihai meant uncovering the Blood Hawk's new movements, meaning they could strike down several key Blood Hawk locations in Las Vegas and elsewhere in one fell swoop. Lynn knew this operation would not be easy, but he had no way back; he could only move forward.

As they approached the villa, Lynn saw through the window that the lights inside were dim and that shadows were moving around. Mikhail was inside, but he didn't seem to notice the commotion outside. Lynn gestured for his team to come closer; he knew it was time to act. Suddenly, the lights inside flickered and then brightened. Lynn realized that Mikhail had sensed something was amiss.

"Quick!" Lynn whispered the order, rushing towards the villa's main gate. At the same time, another team broke through the front door and entered the house.

The air inside was tense and silent. Lynn rushed through the living room and towards the stairs. As he pushed open a door, Mikhail stood in the center of the room, gun in hand, clearly ready to retaliate. A flicker of surprise crossed Mikhail's eyes upon seeing Lynn, but he quickly regained his composure and said in a low voice, "You've finally found me. What do you think you can get from me?"
