America: The neighbor's wife is so incredibly hospitable!

He looked at this land that belonged to the Native Americans.

Once the connections here are established and some simple expansion work is done, this road can become a major artery bypassing Old Joe's blockade.

The connections have been established; all that's left is to expand!

"The scenery here is beautiful."

Looking at the tranquil snow-covered forest around him, Chen An suddenly felt much better.

He turned around, lifted the still-dazed Katie out of the car, and pinned her against a huge fir tree trunk.

"Now that we're in a place where nobody cares..."

Chen An took off her helmet and ran his fingers through her short silver hair.

"Should we catch up on the classes we missed?"

Katie looked at the vast snowfield and the domineering man in front of her, her heart pounding to its limit.

Here? In the wild? In the snow?

"You...you're crazy..." she muttered to herself.

"Yes. And you'll fall in love with a madman."

Chen An lowered his head and lit a fire in this sub-zero, icy world.

………………

On the highway, dozens of kilometers away.

The union thugs, who were still sitting by the roadblock drinking coffee and thinking they had victory in their grasp, had no idea.

Right above them in the mountains, a new lifeline had been opened.

Their blockade not only failed to trap the giant beast, but also forced it to reveal its even sharper fangs.

Backtrack.

As the two snowmobiles roared out of the forest and returned to the warm lights of Titan Manor, Katie practically slid off the vehicles.

Her legs were as weak as noodles, and her usually proud little face was now as red as if it were about to bleed.

Her lips were slightly swollen, and her eyes darted around, not daring to look at Sarah and Jessica who were already waiting at the door.

"Why did it take you so long?"

Jessica stared suspiciously at Katie's messy silver hair and the faint red mark on her collar, her tone tinged with sourness.

"Three hours to scout the way? And... why do you guys smell like you've just been rolling around in the snow?"

"Um... the road is very difficult to walk on! The snow is too deep!"

Katie bristled like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, but her voice clearly lacked confidence.

"I was delayed because I ran out of gas! Yes! I ran out of gas!"

After saying that, she grabbed her helmet and jumped into her Ferrari as if fleeing for her life, not even daring to stay for dinner.

"I'm going back to the restaurant now! I have to try some new dishes tonight! Goodbye!"

Watching the red sports car flee in a panic, Chen An took off his gloves, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.

"This girl has a stubborn streak."

He walked up to Sarah and naturally put his arm around her waist. "However, her body is much more honest than her words."

"You took advantage of him completely?" Sarah shook her head helplessly and brushed the snow off his shoulder.

"Be careful, Katie may look young, but she has a lot of fans."

"If they knew that you...did that with their head chef in the snow, they'd probably burn our house down."

"They wouldn't dare."

Chen An turned around and looked at Tie Tou. "Pass the word down. 'Operation Ghost' will begin at midnight tonight."

………………

Midnight.

While the thugs from the Montana Transport Union were still by the roadblocks on Highway 93.

While drinking cheap coffee and complaining about the weather, he thought he was besieging Titan Mining like an iron barrel.

Thirty kilometers away, on that secluded forest trail that cuts through the Grizzly Bear Reservation.

"Boom!"

The earth was shaking.

A convoy of twenty heavy trucks turned off their headlights, leaving only their dim side marker lights on.

Like a giant steel python, it silently traversed the primeval forest under the dual escort of Titan security personnel and Native American tribal police.

Chief Sam stood on a high hill by the roadside, watching the convoy pass by.

As each car passes by, someone will drop an envelope into a box by the roadside.

That was a toll, but also a sign of respect for the tribe.

"This is what cooperation is all about."

Old Sam took a puff of his pipe. "Unlike those white men who only want to rob, this Asian man knows how to share."

The convoy was fully loaded with high-grade cement, steel bars, acid-resistant pipes, and urgently needed industrial diesel fuel.

We bypassed all the checkpoints and drove directly into Titan Manor from the back of the mountain.

………………

The next morning.

The construction site on the back hill of Titan Manor was in an uproar once again.

The concrete mixer trucks started working, and the huge pump trucks continuously poured cement into the bottom of the salt pond.

The construction site, which had been at a standstill, is now bursting with even greater productivity than before.

at the same time.

The roadblock is several kilometers away.

A black Mercedes-Benz sped towards them; it was Ava Green's car.

She pushed open the car door, put on those high heels that were unsuitable for the snow, and stormed up to the union leader.

"This is what you mean by 'not even a fly can get through'?!"

Ava slammed the binoculars down in the manager's face. "Open your dog eyes and look over there! Is that a mirage?!"

"That Chinese man is pouring cement! Where did those trucks come from? Did they fall from the sky?!"

The person in charge covered his bleeding nose, picked up the binoculars, and looked down. His face turned deathly pale.

Through the morning mist, one can clearly see the busy scene on the distant hillside.

Those trucks that were running seemed to be mocking their incompetence.

"This...this is impossible! We've checked every intersection..."

"A bunch of useless trash!"

Ava was so angry she was trembling.

She lost.

He lost eight million at the gambling table the first time, and now he's lost it all again at the blockade.

That man was like a slippery eel, always able to find loopholes in the tightest web she had woven.

Then drill in hard!

"Find it! Find out where that road is!" Ava roared.

"Found it...it seems to be an Indian reservation..." the younger brother next to him said weakly.

Reserved land.

These three words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing half of Ava's anger.

That's a place where federal law and union power have little say.

That was a hornet's nest that even Old Joe wouldn't easily touch.

"Damn it... he actually got involved with those barbarians."

Ava took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

Looking at the construction site in the distance, the intense sense of defeat only fueled the abnormal competitive spirit deep within her.

"Withdraw. Remove the roadblocks."

Ava coldly ordered, "Since you can't stop them, then don't embarrass yourselves here."

She turned and got into the car, then dialed a phone number.

"Boss, the ground blockade has failed. He's broken through the Grizzly Bear tribe's defenses."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

"understood."

Old Joe's voice remained cold. "Since he won't listen to reason, let's prepare the main course."

"That Canadian refinery, the one called 'Polaris'... Chen An is currently in contact with them, wanting to buy it and integrate the entire industry chain?"

"Yes," Ava replied.

"very good."

Old Joe chuckled, his laughter like that of a night owl.

"Then let him experience firsthand what 'capital attack' means at the Canadian border."

"This time, I'm determined to make sure he never comes back."
