As he continued browsing, Anton finally found Chen Wan's video. In the video, Chen Wan had tears in her eyes, multiple wounds on her body, and was pleading and even begging for Chen An's appearance.

"Brother! Help me!"

"My brother won't let you get away with this!"

Upon receiving this news, Chen An was furious and immediately ordered Anton to take action against Richard.

After receiving the order, Anton took a metal baseball bat from the car and slowly walked up to Richard.

Upon witnessing this scene, Richard was filled with fear and tried to back away, but Karl stepped on him!

"Our husband said that since you enjoy taking photos so much, he'll cripple your hands."

"No, I'm willing to pay. If you kill me, the Los Angeles police won't let you get away with it. There's nowhere to run."

Richard couldn't believe it. These people actually dared to make a move. This was Los Angeles, after all. When did such crazy people come to the world?

Anton remained unmoved by Richard's words.

In Chen An's view, the person in front of him was the cause of his sister's misfortune. If it weren't for the need to find out the clues, he would have killed the person long ago, or at most let a bodyguard convict him.

boom!

Anton, expressionless, swung his baseball bat and broke Richard's hands. Richard tried to scream in pain, but Carl held his hands tightly shut.

"Take a deep breath. Dizziness is normal and will pass quickly," a voice whispered in his ear.

Anton then asked again, "Where was Chen Wan finally taken?"

Richard was already in a state of collapse at this point, and blurted out without thinking, "I really don't know the specifics. I only know that the other person was taken back by Creek and I haven't seen him since."

Anton looked at Carl and relayed Chen An's question, "Was he lying?"

Carl shook his head. "It doesn't seem like a lie, but we can press him a bit more to make sure there's no problem." Then Carl began his own interrogation.

Instead of using violence like Anton, they constantly verbally provoked Richard's nerves, gradually driving him to a breakdown. After a full three minutes, they were indeed unable to get anything out of him.

Carl slowly stood up. "It seems they weren't lying. We can only find that Crick, but he's not easy to deal with. With just these few pistols, it'll be difficult."

Anton asked again, "How much money do you have on you?"

Richard's face was deathly pale. When asked, he quickly replied, "There's $100,000 in the bank account, and a total of $120,000 including other things."

Carl slapped the other man hard on the head. "So little? Aren't you a professor? You're trying to fool me!"

Richard looked bitter. "I still have to pay my mortgage and taxes. I don't get much in hand. And all of this is from working with those rich people."

On the other side, Chen An's expression changed upon hearing this. $120,000 was a considerable sum of money, and he needed $100,000 to upgrade the system.

Since we can't get anything out of Richard, we might as well take the money.

Anton received the message and took something out of the first-aid kit in the car. "Give him some temporary first aid, and we'll talk about it after we get the 100,000."

Upon hearing this, Karl smiled and said, "You guys are really crazy. Now I believe that by following you, I have a little hope of getting revenge."

They then skillfully bandaged Richard's wounds, and with this simple treatment, he was not going to die so easily.

"Take him to get the money," Anton said.

Soon, the group got back into the pickup truck and headed toward the nearest ATM.

A few minutes later, we arrived at our destination.

Inside the car, Karl looked at Richard, took out his phone and waved it, "Don't do anything funny. Come back after you get the money, or I'll spread these videos."

Richard nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Karl opened the car door to let Richard through, while he glanced around to be ready to react quickly if anything happened.

Fortunately, the other party was obedient. After Richard withdrew the money, he got into the car.

The vehicle then slowly drove away.

"Now can you spare my life?" Richard said in an almost pleading tone, but no one in the car responded.

Carl sat in the passenger seat, smoking a cigarette, his eyes deep in thought. "Anton, what did the boss say?"

"The master said that if we kill him and it gets discovered, we will be convicted, but the others will be fine," Anton said calmly.

Karl was deeply shocked.

What kind of magic does Chen An possess that makes these people so willing? It's terrifying! His face remains completely expressionless, as if he's recounting something utterly ordinary.

At this moment, he felt fear.

Upon hearing this, Richard, sitting in the back seat, looked terrified and began to struggle violently, but was held down firmly by An Xing and the other man.

The vehicle slowly drove towards southern Los Angeles, and the city outside the window began to recede, with patches of land gradually appearing around us. This place was even more dilapidated and desolate than Southland City.

Richard, however, only saw a gray expanse ahead.

........

Graffiti Building.

Chen Anzheng sat quietly on the sofa. At this moment, he knew that his sister was in grave danger and he couldn't even guarantee that she would survive.

He would go crazy if something happened to his sister.

"Crick, I hope you don't fall into my hands!"

One hour later.

When Karl and the others returned, they had changed their clothes.

"Karl, how's it going? Were we discovered?" Chen An asked.

Carl opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of Coke, took a sip, and said, "Don't worry, boss, you'll be fine for a while, but not necessarily."

"When it comes to destroying evidence, those Mexican drug traffickers are much more ruthless."

Chen An nodded. "As long as we don't get discovered for now, that's fine. Thanks to you this time."

"Since I've acknowledged you as my boss, I'll definitely help you. Besides, this isn't the first time something like this has happened. This world is darker than you think."

Chen An smiled. If the other party had told him this before in China, he wouldn't have believed it, but now he believed it because he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Here's five thousand dollars. Do whatever you want with it."

Chen An took the money out of the bag and handed it to Karl.

Karl didn't refuse and reached into his pocket.

"Go and rest. You can stay with Cameron. If you don't feel comfortable, you can rent your own room."

"Okay." Karl got up and walked out of the room.

After that, only he and the assassin remained in the room. Hank was arranged to stay in the room opposite, and he also rented a single room from Mrs. Maya.

Chen An looked at the money in the bag and spoke to the system.

"System, I want to upgrade."

[Ding! Do you wish to upgrade the assassin system?]

Please click OK.

Seeing this, he clicked without hesitation, and $100,000 disappeared from the bag, while a message appeared before his eyes.

[System upgrade in progress, 12 hours remaining.]

"There's still time, but we can afford to wait 12 hours."

Then, looking at the remaining $15,000, which was needed for immigration purposes, he suddenly found himself short of money again.

"Money comes fast, but it goes fast too!"
