I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

Aureliano's decision to only offer cash also stemmed from another naive idea.

He just wanted to take a gamble; there was too much money for Li Yuan to take away.

$2000 million in cash is a huge amount and not very convenient to carry.

At that point, the other party might give up some money.

Aureliano thought to himself:

Even leaving me a little is better than taking it all!

"Oh, no problem."

Li Yuan seemed to have read his thoughts and teased him with a smile:

"Even if you only bring me small change, I'll still take it."

Aureliano was stunned when he heard Li Yuan's words, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Li Yuan smiled and pulled up a chair to sit down.

He awaited the glowing mushroom extract and this unexpected gift from the local gang.

Ten minutes later, the unexpected surprise was that they arrived at the hotel first.

Five armed gang members were carrying ten large aluminum alloy combination lock suitcases.

He quickly walked into the hotel room.

When they saw their two companions lying dead by the wall,

He immediately put down the briefcase in a tense manner and pointed the gun at Li Yuan.

At this moment, as long as Aureliano gives the order,

They would just open fire and riddle Li Yuan with bullets.

To their surprise, Aureliano did not order the shooting.

Instead, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted angrily:

"Put the gun down right now! You bunch of bastards! How dare you disrespect Mr. Li Yuan!"

I've already spent 2000 million on Aureliano, and my heart is breaking.

If these bastards' recklessness angers this scoundrel again,

I'm afraid I'll have to bleed a lot more!

Upon hearing this, the henchmen slowly lowered their guns.

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes as he looked at the boss.

Aureliano quickly looked at Li Yuan and found that there was no bad expression on his face.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly waved to his underlings and scolded them impatiently:

"Put the money down and drag those two guys out. Don't come in and bother us unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Yes."

Several henchmen hurriedly carried their companion out and closed the door behind them.

Aureliano quickly got up upon seeing this.

Standing before the briefcase, he said to Li Yuan:

"Mr. Li Yuan, this box contains 200 million dollars. Would you like to take a look?"

Li Yuan got up and went to Aureliano's side.

She glanced at him playfully and tentatively asked in a soft voice:

"Is there a bomb or a signal tracker in here?"

Aureliano's heart tightened upon hearing this, and he quickly explained:

"How could that be! Don't worry! I would never do such a thing!"

"That had better be, otherwise I'll definitely come after you."

Li Yuan threatened Aureliano with a blank expression.

Then he waved his right hand.

Ten aluminum alloy combination lock cases vanished from Aureliano's sight in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Aureliano's eyes widened in surprise.

He looked at Li Yuan with some disbelief:

"this......"

Aureliano was so frightened he was speechless.

The words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound no matter what he said.

Li Yuan put on a kind smile.

He reached out and patted Aureliano on the shoulder, saying:

"All you need to know is that killing you is no different than crushing an ant."

He then turned around, ignoring Aureliano, and slowly walked towards the door.

The gang members guarding outside saw Li Yuan come out alone.

They all looked at him nervously, some even having the urge to draw their guns.

At this moment, the guest room door was opened again.

Aureliano hurried out from inside, his voice trembling as he asked:

"Mr. Li Yuan! I..."

Aureliano had intended to tell Li Yuan that he planned to follow him.

You can see a large number of underlings outside the door.

In the end, he just opened his mouth, but didn't say anything more.

After all, Aureliano's position in CAF is not the highest.

He didn't want to be rejected by Li Yuan and then purged by the gang leader.

Li Yuan heard the shouts, but did not turn around.

Instead, he pushed open the door to his own room and stepped inside.

When Shirley saw Li Yuan walk into the room, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The gunshots that just rang out next door terrified her.

If Grace hadn't been holding her back,

Sherry was about to leave her room and go next door to see what was going on.

"Oh my god, Li Yuan, it's so good that you're back safe and sound."

Sherry ran over and hugged Li Yuan tightly, saying with lingering fear:

"The gangs here are really terrifying. I'm really worried you won't make it back."

Li Yuan never displayed any fighting ability in front of Shirley.

This left Sherry unaware of just how strong Li Yuan truly was.

That's why I'm so worried about Li Yuan's safety.

Li Yuan was quite surprised by Xue Li's reaction.

He reached out and gently patted Sherry's back, whispering:

"I'm fine. The gangsters here are all pretty good."

Not only did they not make things difficult for me, they even gave me some local specialties.

"Really?"

Sherry looked at Li Yuan with some surprise, her mind filled with doubt:

"What was that gunshot just now?"

"Oh, they know I'm from China and like to welcome friends with firecrackers."

However, since they didn't have firecrackers, they used bullets instead.

Listening to Li Yuan's nonsense, Xue Li actually believed it.

She nodded and said in a low voice:

"I didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic. It seems I had a stereotype about them."

Only then did Sherry realize that she was being held in Li Yuan's arms.

She struggled a little shyly, and whispered:

"I'm sorry, Li Yuan, I was a little worried about you just now."

Instead of letting go, Li Yuan pulled Xue Li closer to him.

He said with a smile:

"Thank you, Sherry. It makes me so happy that someone is worried about me."

As they spoke, the atmosphere between them became somewhat ambiguous.

Li Yuan slowly moved closer to Xue Li's face.

As the two drew closer, Sherry's face flushed slightly.

Then she gently closed her eyes, anticipating what would happen next.

But just then, Li Yuan's phone suddenly rang.

The cheerful ringtone instantly broke the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.

Sherry quickly opened her eyes and whispered to Li Yuan:

"Li Yuan, answer the phone first, it might be Raphael."

Li Yuan smiled and took out his phone, only to find that it was indeed Raphael calling.

Then, he muttered a complaint under his breath:

"Raphael is really annoying."

Upon hearing Li Yuan's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical remarks), Shirley covered her mouth and chuckled.

Outside a dilapidated church on the south side of Tijuana.

Maka, who had escaped from the hotel, was now standing on a cross on the roof of the church.

He stared intently at the workers digging below.

After a moment, his expression turned somewhat impatient.

He spoke to the half-demon beside him:

"Balsazar, didn't you already receive the news and narrowed down the scope?"

Why haven't we found it yet?

That troublesome guy, Li Yuan, is already here!

Balsazar glanced down at the local workers who were dawdling below.

He explained somewhat helplessly:

"Lady Maca, there's nothing we can do. These guys are just too good at stalling."

Upon hearing this, Maka looked down at the workers and secretly harbored murderous intent.

But the thought that they, as beings from hell, could not possibly lift that divine weapon...

So he had no choice but to suppress his anger and endure it.

"Damn it!"

Maca, unusually angry, muttered a curse under his breath.

Then he said to himself:

"Hopefully, Li Yuan isn't after the divine artifact."
