Chapter 361 Market Shopping, A Fleeting Shadow

The moment Li Yuan drove his black Cadillac Escalade into downtown Tijuana, he was spotted by members of the city's gangs.

However, the gang members only sent people to keep a simple watch.

They did not make any extreme moves.

From the gang members' perspective, since this Escalade was able to successfully pass through the checkpoint, it was understandable.

That means the people on the bus are fine.

However, Li Yuan and the others did not pay attention to any of this.

Because just as the car approached a market,

They had already been spotted by vendors and pimps soliciting customers outside the market and had surrounded the area.

They knocked enthusiastically on the car window.

Like vendors at a market, they loudly hawked their wares.

However, the products they sell are not ordinary products that you can buy at the farmers' market:

"Hey sir! I have the latest powder here, the results will definitely satisfy you!"

"Sir! Would you like to see some handmade knives? I also have AK knives here!"

"Psychedelic drugs! I have psychedelic drugs! A must-have for bars!"

"Want a girl? Sir, I have girls of all skin colors!"

Somewhat overwhelmed, Li Yuan cautiously drove the car forward slowly.

I was afraid of bumping into these overly enthusiastic vendors.

Li Yuan frowned and looked at Raphael, asking with some irritation:

"Why is this place such a mess? How are we supposed to buy the materials?"

Raphael looked at the chaotic scene around him and sighed softly:

"Sigh... You shouldn't have driven such a nice car. I forgot to remind you."

As he spoke, Raphael continued to instruct Li Yuan:

"Put the car down and let me try. To be honest, I've never bought anything in Tijuana before."

Li Yuan nodded and slowly rolled down the car window.

Raphael shouted loudly at the vendors outside the window:

"We only accept extract from glowing mushrooms! Everyone else, please leave!"

Upon hearing Raphael's shout, some vendors who did not sell such goods...

They all walked away reluctantly, their eyes filled with disappointment.

The rest were mostly vendors selling materials and speculators.

Will the people waiting on the bus buy anything else?

Seeing this, Raphael shouted again:

"Let's start making a quote now."

The vendors selling raw materials exchanged glances.

One of them spoke first, stating the price:

"700 dollars per ml, as much as you want!"

Hearing this somewhat outrageous offer, Li Yuan cursed inwardly:

"Damn, this is even worse than that shady businessman in Mexico City."

Raphael smiled and raised an eyebrow at the other vendors:

"You don't think I'm an idiot, do you?"

If there's nothing suitable, I'll move on to the next market.

The vendors exchanged glances again.

One of them made the offer:

"$300 per ml! Sir, that's a very good price!"

Raphael nodded towards Li Yuan and said:

"Let's go, let's check out the next market."

As he spoke, he began to roll up the car window, seemingly having made up his mind to leave.

Seeing this, the vendor who had quoted the price immediately grabbed the rising car window with his hands.

He hurriedly spoke up:

"No! Wait! Sir, how about $100?"

"We can't go any lower! Leave us some food to eat!"

Raphael slowly extended his palm.

Addressing the vendors, he quoted the price he had paid in Mexico City last time:

"$50, or we're leaving."

Oh God!

Are you Scrooge? $50 is our cost price!

How about adding another $10? Just $10!

Raphael did not agree, but said calmly:

"Come here, I have something to say to you."

The vendor was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

However, still very curious, he peeked his head toward Raphael.

Then, he heard Raphael whisper in his ear:

"I want 1L."

The short sentence made the vendor's eyes widen immediately.

He was about to speak when he heard Raphael continue:

"Don't tell anyone, or I'm leaving."

Such a large order made the vendor quite nervous.

He looked around, and said somewhat awkwardly:

"But...but I can't eat anymore, there's too much."

"Go and contact your acquaintances yourself; I believe you have the ability to do so."

As he spoke, Raphael glanced at the luxury hotel not far away and whispered:

"We'll be waiting for you there. Once you've prepared everything, send it to us."

The vendor hesitated for a moment by the car window.

Finally, he nodded firmly and made a solemn promise:

"Okay, I'll have someone deliver it to you in a bit. I need cash, it has to be US dollars!"

"No problem, as long as the goods are good, you won't be shortchanged by a single penny."

After the two made their agreement,

The vendor gritted his teeth, squeezed through the crowd, and quickly walked away into the distance.

Seeing that the transaction was complete, Li Yuan quickly turned around and drove towards the hotel.

Other merchants who didn't get the deal and were unwilling to let their easy prey escape...

They all chased after the car, relentlessly promoting their products.

Only after Li Yuan drove away did he stop, cursing as he went.

Inside the hotel's penthouse suite.

Maka watched as Li Yuan's car gradually drove into the hotel parking lot.

He frowned and muttered to himself:

"How did this troublesome guy manage to catch up with us?"

Did we give away our location?

No, I have to go right away; I can't delay the adults' business!

Thinking of this, Maca vanished from the room in a flash.

At the same time, as Li Yuan got out of the car, he suddenly felt a sense of unease.

He glanced instinctively toward the rooftop, but found nothing.

Li Yuan couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Why does it feel like something has passed by? Or is it just my imagination?"

At this moment, Raphael walked to Li Yuan's side and whispered:

"Li Yuan, go and book two rooms first, and wait here."

I waited in the lobby for the vendors to arrive, then took them upstairs to complete the transaction.

"Okay, call me anytime if you have any problems, and I'll take care of it."

Li Yuan nodded, then led Grace and Sherry...

I booked two rooms at the hotel reception.

To facilitate the evacuation, Li Yuan requested two rooms on the second floor.

To avoid difficulties in evacuation in case of trouble due to the height of the building.

Upon entering the room, Li Yuan first activated [Sensing Evil Creatures].

They conducted a thorough investigation of the hotel.

Because of the feeling he had at the entrance, Li Yuan subconsciously felt that something was wrong with the hotel.

Surprisingly, after a thorough search,

Li Yuan did not find any evil creatures in the hotel.

Seeing this, Li Yuan had no choice but to give up.

Meanwhile, Grace was leaning against the window.

He watched the lively crowd below with great interest.

A slight smile was on his face.

Sherry sat on the bed with a worried look on her face, seemingly lost in thought.

Li Yuan composed himself and sat down next to Xue Li.

He asked softly with concern:

"Sherry, what are you thinking about?"

Sherry stared unfocused ahead, murmuring:

"I am recalling the scenes I encountered in my dream."

If that's true, many people would probably die.

As she spoke, Sherry's expression grew increasingly serious.

Because she was recalling more and more scenes:

"It looks like a fire caused by an explosion."

All around... were burning vehicles.

Li Yuan knew where the scene described by Sherry had taken place.

Just as he was about to speak, a crisp knocking sound suddenly rang out.
