After receiving Raphael's call, Li Yuan let go of Sherry.

He then opened the door and went into the corridor, waiting for the vendors to come and make a transaction.

A moment later, Raphael appeared in the corridor on the second floor of the hotel, accompanied by several vendors.

As they approached Li Yuan, they were shocked to find gang members guarding both sides of the corridor!

Seeing this, the vendors nervously backed away.

He asked Raphael in a trembling voice:

"What are you trying to do? You're not trying to smear our information, are you...?"

Raphael also became somewhat nervous upon seeing this.

These heavily armed gang members are all desperate, money-grubbing bastards.

"Don't worry, they won't hurt you."

Li Yuan offered a word of comfort to the vendors.

He then turned to several gang members and said:

"You should go back inside and stay there for a while, so as not to scare anyone."

Upon hearing this, the gang members were immediately puzzled.

Just as they were about to question Li Yuan, the door to the room suddenly opened.

Aureliano stepped forward and shouted:

"Didn't you hear what Mr. Li Yuan said? Get your ass in here right now!"

Several gang members immediately lowered their heads and quickly walked into Aureliano's room.

Aureliano smiled and waved to Li Yuan, saying:

"Mr. Li Yuan, please make yourself at home. We won't disturb anyone."

Li Yuan nodded to Aureliano.

Then, he said to the several dumbfounded vendors behind him:

"Let's go inside and talk."

As he spoke, he pushed open the door to another room and went in first.

After everyone entered the room

Li Yuan casually closed the door and asked softly:

"Did you bring the goods?"

"I brought it."

One of the vendors nodded nervously.

Then, two 500ml Coca-Cola bottles were taken out.

Inside was a fluorescent mushroom extract that glowed with a pale purple light.

Seeing this, Li Yuan discreetly pulled a combination lock box from his back.

He opened the box in front of several people.

Inside, stacks of dark green Franklin were neatly arranged.

The vendors stared at the box of banknotes.

A look of greed immediately appeared in his eyes.

Li Yuan then pulled out five stacks of US dollars from the box and tossed them to several vendors.

Then, he casually closed the combination lock box.

The disappearance of the banknotes caused a flash of disappointment in the eyes of the vendors.

The vendors wished all those banknotes were theirs.

Li Yuan spoke softly to the vendors who were still in a daze:

"The money and goods have been settled; you can leave now."

The vendors distributed the money proportionally.

Then, looking at the box in Li Yuan's hand, he reluctantly left the room.

Seeing the vendors leave, Raphael said with some concern:

"Don't flaunt your wealth! How could you be so careless?"

Li Yuan wasn't worried about any accidents happening; he chuckled and said:

"It's okay, someone will protect us."

While the two were talking, several vendors also arrived on the first floor of the hotel.

They huddled together and whispered, all talking about the box of money in Li Yuan's hand.

"That guy looks like a fat sheep, how about we pull off a shady heist?"

"Yeah, that box looks like it's worth 200 million. If we manage to snag it, we'll be rich!"

However, just as they were getting emotional, a dissenting voice suddenly rang out.

The stall owner who had made the deal with Raphael hissed in a low voice:

Are you all crazy?

Haven't you noticed that the Makamba people are terrified of him?

Even if you manage to steal that box of money, I doubt you'll live to spend it!

Upon hearing the name "Makamba people,"

The vendors all tacitly kept quiet.

The greed in their eyes turned into deep fear.

The "Makamba people" are none other than...

That was Aureliano's nickname within the CAF gang.

Aureliano was extremely cruel and inhumane.

In the eyes of the locals, he was a devilish figure.

Everyone was therefore terrified of him.

The group exchanged glances and all abandoned their fantasies.

They instinctively tightened their grip on the US dollars in their pockets and hurriedly left the hotel.

In the hotel room,

Raphael glanced at the time on his watch, raised an eyebrow at Li Yuan, and said:

"Now that everything is done, let's go."

"We'll have to queue up when we go back through the border checkpoint."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan smiled mysteriously and whispered to Raphael:

"It's still early; I plan to go back around midnight tonight."

Raphael stared wide-eyed and questioned:

Are you crazy?

Wandering around the Mexican border at night can easily lead to danger!

You've seen those gangsters before.

"No, this matter hasn't been resolved yet."

Li Yuan gazed at the sky outside the window and said meaningfully:

"Because the time hasn't come yet."

As evening fell, the last rays of the sun shone on the dilapidated church, casting a lingering shadow.

A Mexican man wearing a red tracksuit,

He was squatting on the ground, idly wasting time.

His name is Manuel.

At that moment, he was thinking that after receiving his wages, he should go out for a nice meal that evening.

The remaining money might be enough for him to have some fun.

At that moment, the foreman suddenly shouted from a distance.

They said they were getting ready to leave work and collect their wages.

Upon hearing that he could receive the money, Manuel excitedly stood up.

Then, he walked quickly towards where the foreman was standing.

But Manuel had only taken two steps when he suddenly lost his footing.

One leg sank directly into the sand.

Manuel pulled his leg out in confusion and discovered that he was in a cellar.

And it seems there's something hidden in the cellar.

Seeing this, Manuel slowly reached his hand inside.

They were investigating whether there were any treasures inside.

A moment later, Manuel suddenly grasped a hard object in his hand.

A surge of joy welled up within him, and he slowly took the item out.

After Manuel took the hard object out of the cellar

He was shocked to discover that the hard object was actually wrapped in a swastika flag!

Manuel cautiously looked around.

He noticed that everyone was gathered around the foreman collecting their wages, and no one was paying attention to him.

Only then did I feel relieved.

Manuel slowly unwrapped the flag that was wrapped around it.

What they found inside was a sharp, golden spearhead.

Manuel held the gun barrel very carefully in his hands, a hint of tension in his eyes.

He always felt that someone wanted to steal this treasure.

The next second, Manuel's expression suddenly froze.

A magical feeling permeated the entire city.

Suddenly, a voice appeared in his mind:

"Take this to Los Angeles...take this to Los Angeles...someone's waiting for you there..."

Manuel's eyes instantly turned blood red.

He suddenly stood up and strode towards Los Angeles.

After spotting Manuel, one of the workers called out loudly:

"Manuel, come here quickly, it's time to collect your wages!"

However, Manuel ignored him and continued walking straight ahead.

Just then, a construction truck hauling soil suddenly darted out from the side.

It crashed heavily into Manuel.

However, as expected, the scene of Manuel being knocked away did not occur.

The car was frozen in place, as if it had hit a post.

Due to the immense inertia, the rear of the car bounced up!

Manuel, however, remained standing unharmed!

The next second, Manuel gripped the inside of his wrist, holding the gun barrel.

A dark red circular mark slowly emerged, with an unclosed cross inside.

All four strokes, horizontal and vertical, point towards the center of the circle, yet they break off at the center and do not intersect.

Standing at a distance, Maka watched Manuel continue on his way.

Smiling, he said to Balsazar beside him:

"Lord Mammon's mark has been completed, and we have completed half of our mission on Earth."
