America: Starting with the Last Liberty

Chapter 120 The Last Freedom 4K

Forklifts and garbage trucks are prepared in advance and placed here for unloading goods.

With a muffled thud, 5 tons of gold were successfully placed into the garbage truck's bin. Now, all that's needed is to drive the garbage truck out of downtown Los Angeles, and the job will be done.

At that moment, Dominic suddenly heard Donnie's voice on the walkie-talkie.

"Oh no! The police have spotted me!"

"Wow? Where did the police find you?"

"The sewers! I'm leading them around in circles in the sewers right now!"

Then, Rosen spoke up as well.

"Dominic, I feel the storm is subsiding. Get the gold out of there first, to avoid attracting the police's attention. I'll go rescue Mr. Blasco!"

"Understood! Be careful!"

Dominic immediately had Vince drive the garbage truck away, while he got into another vehicle.

Jesse drove the forklift to a nearby garage and hid it; everything was planned flawlessly.

Oh, there's a car by the river; that's for Rosen and Donnie.

By this point, the 5 tons of gold had been transported out without anyone noticing, leaving only Rosen and Donnie still with 5-star wanted status.

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck!"

Donnie didn't expect that the Los Angeles Police Department would also deploy motorboats. Perhaps the St. Martin Bank had called ahead to warn the police, which almost led to his arrest.

At this moment, Donnie is being pursued by his former colleagues, who have not yet used weapons, possibly intending to capture him alive.

But as the chase continues, the Los Angeles police will surely lose patience and start shooting Donnie.

This isn't a game where you can be shot and resurrected in a hospital, so Donnie doesn't want to take any bullets.

"Mr. Blasco, where are you?"

"I don't know! I've been wandering around in the sewers for so long, I'm totally lost!"

While traveling at high speed, the environment in the sewers is basically the same, so Donnie has no idea where he is.

"You need to tell me a location so I can find you!"

"I'm trying! Wait, I think I'm getting out of the sewer!"

There was a very bright light ahead, and Donnie accelerated and drove out of the sewer outlet.

As it turned out, the area outside the sewer wasn't the planned artificial waterway, but rather the sewer's outlet to the sea; Donnie had gone the wrong way.

"Wow! I'm out at sea!"

"At sea? I've already got the car, and I'm heading in your direction now! Deal with the police for a bit longer, then find a place to get ashore, and I'll come pick you up!"

Rosen had already arrived at the artificial waterway and retrieved his car.

Although this car is not a Dodge Viper, it has been meticulously modified by Djibouti and has excellent performance.

It will only take a few minutes for Lawson to reach the beach in Long Beach.

However, by this time, the storm had gradually subsided, and Rosen could already hear the sound of propellers. The Los Angeles Police Department had deployed helicopters.

"Damn it! Jack, the jet ski is almost out of gas!"

"Hang in there, I can see the coastline now!"

"No! There's not a drop of fuel left in the tank. I have to get to the nearest shore."

Tell me the location!

"It's near Thomson Pier; you should be able to see it!"

"Yes, I know where it is."

Rosen observed the helicopters in the sky and determined Donnie's approximate location.

The Los Angeles Police Department's helicopter didn't need to take detours in the air, so it located Donnie faster than Rosen.

Fortunately, the police cars on the ground weren't as fast as the helicopter, so Rosen still had a chance to pick up Donnie.

"I'm ashore! Where are you?"

Donnie struggled to climb onto the dock; his clothes were already soaked through from driving the jet ski, which severely hampered his movements.

Behind me, police officers who had also come ashore were shouting, overhead I could hear the sound of helicopter rotors, and in the distance, I could hear the sirens of police cars.

Donnie couldn't help but feel a little desperate. If he were a student from Dongda University, he would definitely think of the member "Surrounded by Enemies".

"Jack? Jack?"

Just then, a black sedan drove towards Donnie and stopped in front of him with a perfect drift brake.

"Get in the car quickly!"

Donnie breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought you'd abandoned me!"

"Mr. Rosen will be angry if we leave you behind! Stop talking nonsense! Get in the car!"

Donnie quickly climbed into the passenger seat of the car.

Los Angeles police officers in the distance saw Downey get into the car and finally couldn't hold back, so they drew their guns and fired, but unfortunately, all the bullets hit the car door.

Seeing Donnie get into the car, Rosen didn't hesitate at all, immediately stepping on the gas and using nitrous oxide to accelerate. Next, he and Donnie would fight for America's last bit of freedom.

"What the hell! Jack, I haven't fastened my seatbelt yet!"

"Hehe, you won't deduct points from my score because of this, will you?"

Having successfully picked up Donnie, Rosen finally breathed a sigh of relief and casually cracked a joke.

Not all states in America have a demerit point system for driver's licenses, but California does.

If you accumulate enough demerit points, your driver's license will be temporarily suspended by the police, preventing you from driving, similar to the situation at the University of Tokyo.

"Fuck, if I were a cop, I'd definitely deduct points from your license for that kind of starting maneuver!"

Donnie quickly fastened his seatbelt, fearing he would be thrown out.

"That's it, I have even more dangerous things to do next!"

As he spoke, Rosen continued to press the accelerator, accelerating directly to 200 kilometers per hour.

At this moment, more than a dozen police cars had arrived from all directions, attempting to intercept Rosen's car.

However, the car that Rosen was driving seemed to have a mind of its own, weaving and easily breaking through the police's encirclement.

However, because there are helicopters providing navigation in the air, Rosen is not yet considered to have lost its star.

"Donnie, turn on the car radio and tune the frequency."

"Okay! Which frequency do you want to tune to?"

"Turn to a frequency where you can hear the police radio!"

"what?"

The radio in the car was salvaged by Rosen from a wrecked police car and, after being repaired, can directly receive the Los Angeles Police Department's wireless radio.

Then, Rosen and Donnie listened to the police constantly giving instructions and coordination on the radio.

Rosen heard clearly where the roadblocks were set up and where the interceptions were arranged.

This greatly frustrated the Los Angeles Police Department, and the officer in charge of the operation angrily started swearing on the radio.

"Fuck! How does this guy always manage to avoid our traps?!"

"Sir, could he be eavesdropping on our radio broadcast?"

There are still smart people, but unfortunately, they were discovered too late.

The commanding officer quickly switched to radio silence, but Rosen had already broken through the police car blockade.

Moreover, the lack of radio command will inevitably cause the police to lose their manpower advantage.

To make matters worse, the wind picked up again!

"Now!"

The increased wind force forced the police helicopters to return to base, leaving only the police cars on the ground.

Although the Los Angeles Police Department is still increasing manpower, the lack of helicopter navigation has reduced Rosen's pressure by half.

Rosen accelerated wildly, using his superb driving skills to shake off all the police cars, and finally got out at a pre-arranged vehicle change point to switch cars.

Now the Los Angeles Police Department has completely lost sight of their target, allowing Rosen to successfully advance—no, to escape.

Only then did Donnie truly feel at ease.

"Damn it! I was just thinking my daughter would only be able to visit me in prison!"

"Mr. Blasco, you really don't trust me?"

"No, in that situation, it's impossible for anyone to avoid having wild thoughts."

Rosen found a safe place to park the car. He wasn't in a hurry to meet up with Dominic and the others. Instead, he wanted to open the small safe in Lopez's office first.

"Mr. Blasco, do you know how to open this kind of safe?"

Rosen picked up the small safe that was in the back seat; it was much more sophisticated than the small safes in the vault.

"Let me see! Oh, it's an electronic safe. This thing is actually easier to deal with than a mechanical safe, but I need some tools."

"It should be in the trunk, I'll get it for you."

Soon, Donnie used his tools to open the small safe. Inside were several gold bars, some cash, and a USB drive!

"Could this USB drive be the ledger Lawson is looking for?"

"That's possible!"

There's no need to keep a regular USB drive in a safe, even if it's full of art teacher's artwork.

The job report on the Harvest Day app showed it as an account book, and Luca Pastore also said it was an account book, so Rosen subconsciously assumed it was a paper document.

After all, the Bonanno family's leaders are all old men, so you can hardly expect them to be proficient in using computers.

It now appears that Francis Ritchie likely entered all the ledgers into his computer and then stored them on a USB drive after finding them.

As for the original ledgers, they have most likely been destroyed.

"Let's find a computer and see what's on the USB drive!"

Six o'clock in the evening, Hispia.

This is a small town located in the northeast corner of Los Angeles County, more than 150 kilometers from downtown Los Angeles.

Inside a warehouse in this small town, a garbage truck was parked, and three men were listening to the radio, seemingly waiting for something.

"—The tropical storm has now dissipated, and Los Angeles is expected to return to sunny skies tomorrow. Now for a special news report: around 3 PM today, an incident occurred at the St. Martin's Bank in the St. Paul neighborhood—"

The three men listened very carefully, and after the behavior was finished being broadcast, the shorter man spoke up.

"Strange, the news didn't say anyone was caught. Why haven't Jack and Donnie arrived yet? Dom, should we try calling them?"

Dominic frowned, holding his phone. Rosen and Donnie were already two hours late for their scheduled meeting.

This is clearly not normal!

However, making a direct phone call carries certain risks.

"Jesse, if this news is just a smokescreen from the police, and they've actually caught Jack and Donnie, then calling them directly could get us tracked down! Right, Boss Dom?"

What Vince is saying is exactly what Dominic is worried about.

"Really? Are the Los Angeles police that capable?"

Jesse scratched his head, somewhat incredulous.

"It's better to be careful! Boss Dom, how about we just divide up this gold? I think something must have happened to Jack and Donnie!"

A hint of greed flashed in Vince's eyes.

Wealth can be tempting, and not everyone can maintain their original intentions in the face of enormous wealth.

This made Dominic very angry.

"Shut up! No one can take their share before we confirm Jack and Donnie's situation! And even if they're arrested or something worse happens to them, their share must be given to their families!"

True to his reputation as a family man, Dominic righteously rebuked Vince, leaving the latter extremely embarrassed.

Just then, Donnie walked into the warehouse and overheard what the bald man had just said.

"Wow! Rosen is right, Dominic really is a trustworthy person."

Dominic looked at Donnie with suspicion.

"Why are you alone? Where's Jack?"

"Jack went to deliver something to Rosen. He said Rosen would come over later to split the money."

Winston was somewhat dissatisfied.

"What? We have to wait for him again? He's got some nerve!"

Dominic couldn't help but punch Vince.

"Shut your mouth!"

Vince could only shut up in frustration.

Dominic talked to Donnie about what had happened that afternoon, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when he heard that Donnie had managed to escape from the police pursuit.

After waiting for another half hour, Rosen appeared at the warehouse door.

"I'm sorry, I took a detour to ask those people who are watching me to do something about it. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Dominic went up and hugged Rosen.

"It's good that everything went smoothly. Actually, we didn't have to wait that long."

"Is that so? Then I won't waste any more time and will get straight to the point! So, as agreed beforehand, you'll each take one-fifth. Do you want gold or bonds?"

Vince glanced at Dominic and Jesse, who seemed ready to cause trouble again.

"I think taking only one-fifth is too little!"

Rosen looked at Dominic with a smile.

"Dominic, is this what you mean?"

Dominic silently walked over to Vince and slapped him across the face.

"This operation went so smoothly thanks to Rosen's planning! And the initial investment was also Rosen's money; we only contributed manpower! Any three people could replace us, so what right do you have to demand more money?"

Dominic was absolutely right. Of the six people who actually participated in the mission, only Rosen and Donnie were irreplaceable.

Rosen provided the plans and costs; he also procured all the tools, including speedboats, motorboats, explosives, and forklifts.

Without Rosen, no one else could have done the job, or even had the job at all.

Similarly, Donnie's expertise was irreplaceable; without him, Rosen would not have been able to pinpoint the sewer routes and the wall of the vault.

On the contrary, any of the three people in Toledo's gang could be replaced, and Mia was more useful.

Mia's role as an inside agent within the St. Martin's Bank, misleading others, was also very useful.

This bought Rosen and his team crucial time.

After teaching his underlings a lesson, Dominic walked over and greeted Rosen.

"Sorry, Vince might be a little dizzy from seeing so much gold."
