Li Chengji's party came to a halt because of a gambling game; the youngsters high on drugs were cleared out of the villa's pool party, leaving only the underworld figures interested in the outcome.

And whether it was a deliberate move or someone wanted to embarrass Li Chengji...

Around 10 o'clock, just before Mountain Eagle and the others departed, luxury cars started arriving at the villa and parked in the driveway.

Watching the new guests arrive one after another, Li Chengji said with a smile to David Dupont, who was greeting the guests as if he were the host: "Should I thank you for introducing so many big clients to me?"

David Dupont's face lit up with a smile as he said, "I'm also the new CEO, and to make a good impression on these big clients, I have to arrange some suitable entertainment for them.

After all, we're colleagues; you understand me, right?"

After finishing his words, David Dupont laughed and hugged an old man, whispered a few words with him, and then walked to the center of the hall and clapped his hands loudly: "Hey, ladies and gentlemen, I just discussed with Mr. Veen, and he will open a betting market on his gambling website...

With Joseph Ravensworth as the assassination target, betting that he will last until dawn offers odds of 1:2. Betting on Mountain Eagle to win, that is, to take out Joseph Ravensworth, gives odds of 1:4.

There are ten minutes left; everyone can grab their phones and place their bets with their bookies now!

This is an entertainment opportunity not to be missed; tonight will be a sleepless night..."

Andrew Bonar, that sycophant, was the first to raise his hand to bet on Joseph Ravensworth to win, which provoked a wave of jeers but heated up the atmosphere.

The betting odds are volatile, so the house doesn't suffer too much of a loss.

The newly opened betting market was still small, and Andrew Bonar went first with a bet of five hundred thousand, taking the 1:2 odds, instantly changing the odds to 1:1.95.

Mountain Eagle, who was checking his equipment, heard the noise from the hall; he saw Li Chengji standing coldly at the villa's entrance, looking at him...

He fastened several magazine pouches with clasps to his belt, reclaimed his CZ75, and slipped it into the holster on his right side, then waved at Daria to ask a few questions before striding towards the villa, wrapping his arm around Li Chengji's shoulders as they entered the hall...

Looking at the triumphant David Dupont, Mountain Eagle loudly said: "Hey, Mr. Dupont, you need someone else to run the book for your game; are you that afraid of losing?"

Saying this, he looked at Mr. Veen, who had helped Dupont set up the market, and asked with a smile: "What are the odds on me winning now?"

Mr. Veen, who managed the gambling platform, heard Mountain Eagle's question and tapped his young assistant donned in a black suit and red tie with his cane.

The assistant handed him a tablet to look at...

Mr. Veen looked up at Mountain Eagle and said, "Right now, 1:5.5, if you wait a bit longer, it might reach 1:6..."

From the change in odds, it was evident that most people present didn't have confidence in Mountain Eagle.

Seeing Li Chengji's grim face, Mountain Eagle laughed and said: "Mr. Veen, how big is the bet pool now?"

The old man frowned, sizing up Mountain Eagle, and said, "Right now, the total is just under 10 million..."

After hearing this, Mountain Eagle chuckled, arm around Li Chengji's shoulder, and looked around at these so-called underworld tycoons, saying, "These are your big clients? Poor quality..."

Then, glancing at his watch, he said, "Time's almost up; I'm transferring 20 million cash for a bet!

1:5.5, today we will make a tidy profit of one billion, and by the way, remind Mr. Veen not everyone is trustworthy!"

The sinister Mr. Veen listened, turned to look at David Dupont, whose expression had stiffened, then smilingly addressed the cooling crowd, "20 million is a good number, ladies and gentlemen, the odds have changed again, you can place additional bets now..."

Mountain Eagle surveyed the changing atmosphere of the hall; his strong aggressiveness had been thoroughly unleashed.

Everyone seated came from the underworld, accustomed to seeing gunmen and mercenaries, but still, the overly sharp gaze from Mountain Eagle made most of them subconsciously avoid eye contact.

After staring at David Dupont for a few seconds, Mountain Eagle patted Li Chengji's slender shoulder and said with a smile: "Remember to place the bet, wait for my good news!

I spotted a few watches the other day, I've been reluctant to buy, but after we win the money, you'll accompany me to pick out some gifts."

As he said this, Mountain Eagle heard the sound of engines from outside the gate; he turned to look just as Joseph Ravensworth's BMW 7 Series burst out of the villa's gates...

Hearing the roaring engines of the Gurkas, Mountain Eagle said with a laugh, "My guys can't wait any longer..."

Li Chengji patted Mountain Eagle's arm and said solemnly, "When you come back, I'll take you to a place truly worth visiting.

Those who fall for us never have good luck; we can only compensate in other ways.

Go take out that guy and show these people what the legendary 'Mountain Eagle' is capable of!"

After pushing Mountain Eagle forward, she strode towards Mr. Veen, a bright smile on her face, and loudly said, "My brother has bet 20 million on himself to win; how could a mere billion be enough?

I'll put in 20 million too, the two of us siblings together, that's 40 million; tomorrow, we want to see two hundred million dollars.

Mr. Veen, you can cover that bet, can't you?"

Mr. Veen's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded somberly, saying, "Of course!"

As he spoke, Mr. Veen glanced at David Dupont, whose smile had completely faded, and said, "We hope all our clients can win money..."

Now, Li Chengji, normally at a disadvantage, had completely let loose...

There's no true fairness in this world, for the lower ranks to challenge the higher-ups, they must show the determination to risk everything, driving the costs for the higher-ups to a level they cannot sustain.

David Dupont, taking advantage of being the landlord as well as his status, had used various means to try to force Li Chengji to capitulate.

But the underworld is ultimately a world ruled by money!

When Li Chengji and Mountain Eagle threw down a bet of 40 million US dollars, if David Dupont fails to convince his connections and friends to match the bet causing Mr. Veen to suffer a huge loss, his loss could be even greater.

This is about inflicting wounds by stepping outside the rules, and if David Dupont cannot withstand it, everything he has done before will become a joke.

In fact, many people were misled by the gambling odds, which seemed to be betting on Joseph Ravensworth's life or death, giving Joseph quite an advantage.

In reality, for Mountain Eagle, this is a life-and-death struggle!

Mountain Eagle didn't bet his entire fortune because he was afraid Mr. Veen couldn't afford to lose, which could lead to other troubles.

His initial bet of 20 million was just right, but Li Chengji's raise signified her decision to completely turn against David Dupont.

You dare slap my face, I'll make you lose a piece of flesh!

As Li Chengji changed from her previously somewhat weak demeanor and took on a fierce attitude, the atmosphere in the villa began to change!

Mountain Eagle couldn't care about these things, his only goal now was to kill Joseph Ravensworth...

Ignoring Daria's attempts to dissuade him, Mountain Eagle stuck several magazine pouches onto the Bullet-Proof Vest's chest, then mounted his Harley with a VSS...

He glanced at the time, then handed a new smart tactical terminal to Daria, saying in a deep voice, "You drive to cover me, have Tiffany and Lilith change into new Bullet-Proof Vests...

Keep the radio communication clear, and pay attention to the information on the radio terminal.

I need to concentrate, I don't have time to pay attention to the surroundings.

You're responsible for sending interception information to Arctic Fox and the Round Table Knights..."

Daria, looking at the clearly advanced tactical computer in her hand, quickly learned how to use it after a few attempts, and saw Joseph Ravensworth through Crow's perspective via the drone...

"Drones?"

Seeing Daria's puzzled expression, Mountain Eagle laughed and said, "The latest drones, many of them, red represents enemies, yellow represents suspicious targets, green represents our own people.

The smart tactical system will make judgments based on the situation on the field, the number of enemies will increase or decrease.

Daria, you now have the world's strongest urban battlefield situational awareness...

You're my assistant, I can trust you, right?"

After hearing this, Daria nodded firmly, strapped the smart tactical terminal to her wrist, and said seriously, "Boss, I can handle it!

The forces of Arctic Fox and Round Table Knight are already in position in batches..."

As she spoke, Daria glanced at the several red dots on the tactical terminal and said, "Bright Ladder's Assassins are not planning to battle in Beverly Hills, their first wave of interception is at Franklin Canyon Park 6 kilometers away...

Based on Joseph Ravensworth's escape direction, he seems to be trying to head north through Canyon Park to hide in North Hollywood.

These should be Southern Los Angeles gang Gunmen, they're on the 405 highway, and judging by their speed, they will meet us on the 134 freeway after we cross Canyon Park.

From their movements, their target is very clear..."

Seeing Daria getting into the zone, Mountain Eagle put on his helmet, gestured to Daria to keep radio contact, then pointed to the headset location of Jin Dacheng and the other six warriors who were ready, then started the motorcycle...

"Let's go..."

Daria quickly ran to the passenger side of the Gurka, opened the door and got in...

Watching the two Chevrolet Silverado Pickup trucks rush out of the villa first, with the boss following closely on his motorcycle, Daria shouted to Tiffany in the driver's seat, "Keep up, keep up..."

The Gurka roared piercingly as it dashed out of the villa, speeding behind the convoy, protecting the boss riding in the middle.

Looking at Daria's serious face concentrated on the tactical computer on her wrist, Tiffany shouted loudly, "What do we do next?"

Daria waved her hand to signal Tiffany to follow, then squeezed the radio and shouted, "The boss ordered me to take over command...

Arctic Fox will be Team A, Round Table Knight will be Team B, Camel Eddie will be Team C, the rookies will be Team D, anyone who hears this please respond!"

The radio soon came back with responses...

"This is Silver Fox, Team A received, please direct us to the target..."

"This is Galahad, Team B received, ready to intercept at any time..."

"This is Camel, Team C received, I have a helicopter ready to take off for support..."

"This is Jin Dacheng, Team D received, currently covering Mountain Eagle chasing the target..."

Feeling her strong heartbeat, Daria suppressed her excitement and shouted loudly, "Team C take off, boss will cross Franklin Canyon Park in 10 minutes.

There are Assassins ambushed in the park, I'll guide you to the targets, cover the boss to pass quickly.

Team B head to the 134 freeway, ready to intercept the gang convoy.

Team A go directly to North Hollywood...

The boss wants to fight a tough battle, let's get on it..."
