What the hell is the "kill line" when you're in America?

Li Ang unfolded the stack of yellowed documents.

Victor walked over quickly, followed by Derek and Scorpion.

They saw clearly what Li Ang was holding.

It wasn't explosives, it was paper.

Victor's pupils contracted sharply when he saw the strange emblem made of an eagle and a snake at the top of the document.

"Everyone, stop," Li Ang said.

The thugs, who were still sorting through the scattered ammunition, stopped what they were doing and looked over in confusion.

"Inspect all grenade boxes."

Li Ang's orders were concise and devoid of any emotion.

Victor immediately realized what was happening and gave a wink to the two trusted men he had brought with him.

Without saying a word, the two men picked up crowbars and rushed toward several other wooden crates filled with "grenades".

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The boxes were pried open one after another.

Inside, there were metal canisters disguised as hand grenades.

Inside each jar was a document wrapped in the same oiled paper.

"Derek, Scorpion." Li Ang didn't even turn his head.

"Boss."

"Take your men and recount all the rifles and ammunition, then stack them neatly," Li Ang commanded calmly. "Leave this to us."

Derek and Scorpion exchanged a glance, and although they were full of doubts, they immediately did as instructed.

They berated their thugs and led them away from the container to deal with the "normal" weapons at the other end of the cold storage.

Unauthorized personnel were cleared out.

Only Li Ang, Victor, and his two most trusted subordinates remained.

Victor's two men opened all the metal cans containing the documents and neatly arranged the documents on an empty wooden crate.

There were dozens of portions.

"You've seen this?" Leon picked up a document and showed Victor the page with the badge on it.

Victor's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

"I've never seen it before." He shook his head, his voice a little hoarse, "But... I know this kind of thing shouldn't be here."

"This is...it's a federal government thing, and it might even be more advanced than that."

Having been in the Rusty Gang for so many years and come into contact with some high-ranking figures, Victor vaguely knows that at the top of the power pyramid in this country, there are some shadows that ordinary people can never touch.

These documents came from those shadows.

Li Ang's gaze fell on the document's cold title.

To be honest, the more I think about it, the more frightened I get, especially when I combine it with the previous documents.

"What he wants might not be these weapons at all," Li Ang said slowly.

Victor instantly understood what Li Ang meant.

"Is it for these documents?"

Victor's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"Fuck!" he muttered under his breath, "What the hell have we gotten ourselves into?"

"A thief who stole what he shouldn't have," Li Ang added.

This conclusion completely changed the nature of the entire event.

"What should we do?" Victor looked at Leon, whom he had once thought was just a homeless man who could fight, but who had now become the only person he could count on.

"Check all the grenade boxes to confirm whether this is all of them or just a part of them." Li Ang's thinking was very clear.

Victor's two men immediately sprang into action, prying open each wooden crate and examining it carefully.

Li Ang picked up a document and quickly flipped through it.

The contents are even more shocking than the title suggests.

Li Ang's gaze grew increasingly cold.

"Boss, everything's been checked," one of Victor's men reported. "All the documents are here."

Li Ang nodded.

Just then, a slight commotion was heard outside the cold storage.

It's Derek's voice.

"Boss, one of my brothers... seems to have seen something going on outside."

Li Ang and Victor exchanged a glance and immediately went outside.

At the entrance of the cold storage, one of Scorpion's former henchmen was gesturing frantically to Derek.

He was a man in his thirties named Skinny Monkey. He used to be a minor leader under Scorpion and was quite clever.

Because of his good eyesight, he was just sent by Derek to keep watch from a high point on the outskirts of the slaughterhouse.

"What happened?" Li Ang asked.

"Boss," the skinny guy said quickly when he saw Li Ang, "I just looked at the road outside with binoculars and I saw... I saw a car."

His voice stammered slightly due to nervousness.

"What kind of car?" Victor pressed.

"It was too dark to see the model clearly." Skinny Monkey shook his head. "It was a black sedan, a very ordinary one. It didn't have its headlights on. It was parked at the intersection for about half a minute, and then it drove away."

This area was deserted, and in the dead of night, a black sedan with its headlights off was parked at the only intersection leading here.

This is highly abnormal in itself.

"Did you see the license plate clearly?" Li Ang asked.

"No, it was too far, and it stopped in a really awkward spot, right in a blind spot of the surveillance camera," the skinny monkey replied. "But I saw a figure."

He got out of the car and stood at the intersection, looking in our direction.

"He was holding something, which looked like a telescope."

Everyone's hearts sank.

Is it a coincidence?

Or... have they already been targeted?

Less than two hours have passed since the goods were found.

If it's not a coincidence, the other party's reaction speed is too fast.

This suggests that the other party may have known the goods were hidden here all along, and that their every move was under surveillance.

A chill rose from the soles of everyone's feet.

Victor instinctively reached for the pistol at his waist.

Derek and Scorpion looked around nervously, as if a deadly enemy might pounce out of the darkness at any moment.

Buzz... Buzz...

In the midst of this deathly silence, the encrypted phone in Victor's pocket suddenly vibrated.

This phone was used by him to maintain one-on-one contact with a very small number of key figures, and the number was never made public.

Victor took out his phone and glanced at the screen.

It was a text message from an unknown, encrypted number.

He opened the message.

There is only one sentence above.

"Is the cargo intact?"

Victor's face turned deathly pale instantly, devoid of any color.

His hand holding the phone began to tremble uncontrollably.

Li Ang picked up his phone and glanced at the text message.

His face remained expressionless.

But Derek and Scorpion, who were beside him, could feel that the air around them seemed to have dropped several degrees.

"They know we found the goods," Victor said dryly. "They've been watching us."

"Even... Marcus hiding the goods here was part of their plan."
