The streets near Beverly Hills were extremely lively...

This time, it wasn't because this was the most expensive area in Los Angeles, but because a gun battle that was almost a terror attack erupted here during the day.

Dozens of gunmen from the Mexican drug cartel fought a group of bodyguards in the mall, and surprisingly, they were driven back, losing many people.

People in Los Angeles couldn't remember the last time they experienced something like this...

Since Mountain Eagle arrived in Los Angeles, he has been on a killing spree. However, his battlegrounds were either remote outskirts or slum apartments, so even if many people died, the wealthy in Los Angeles didn't feel too disturbed physically.

But when problems arose in this high-priced area of Beverly Hills, the wealthy couldn't sit by idly, and so the Los Angeles Police were treated like police dogs, setting up checkpoints at every entrance to Beverly Hills.

These policemen were just workers, and they were quite upset about being dragged out for overtime at night. Additionally, those difficult wealthy folks would occasionally complain when the police disrupted their normal lives, causing traffic congestion here.

Mountain Eagle unexpectedly saw Detective Daniel with his arm in a sling while passing through a checkpoint leading into the core area of Beverly Hills.

This guy was lying on the passenger door of the Gurka in front, joking and laughing with Tiffany and Lilith inside...

A cop was holding a police dog, while another had a mirror to inspect beneath cars, checking them one by one.

When the police dog started clawing at the Gurka's rear bed, Tiffany, dressed in a bright red outfit, stepped out of the car, leaning on the side step, and started swearing at Daniel...

"Fuck you, Daniel. Are you sure you want me to open the bed and show you what's inside?"

Daniels sidled up to Tiffany with a cheeky grin, gave a few instructions to the inspecting officer, then was pulled up close by Tiffany who whispered something, making his expression change dramatically as he started complaining incessantly...

Seeing the two officers responsible for checking vehicles approaching the Maybach, Mountain Eagle stepped out, whistled, letting the slightly stifled Balang out for some air.

As soon as Balang got out, the German Shepherd held by the officer behaved as if meeting a predator, tucking its hind legs as it whimpered and backed up a few steps.

The officer handling the police dog instantly realized what the problem was when he saw the burly Balang without a leash, and so he shouted, "Sir, keep your dog on a leash..."

Mountain Eagle responded by lightly patting his leg to keep Balang close, then shrugged at the officer and said, "Sorry..."

As he squeezed Balang outside, he walked over to Daniel...

Police in the United States generally can't tolerate such provocation, but Mountain Eagle's car and his clothes were too expensive for them to get into a dispute over a dog without a leash.

Mountain Eagle pretended not to hear the officer's quiet curse and strode over to Daniel, glancing back at the congested road with dissatisfaction, then said, "Mate, what do you want to do?

Do you want me to call everyone out from the car to be frisked?"

Looking at Mountain Eagle's thoroughly wealthy demeanor, Daniel clicked his tongue in wonder and then came over to complain, "Bro, isn't it a bit unprofessional to drag those important pieces of evidence around in your car?

If something goes wrong, my police career will be over!"

Mountain Eagle squinted at Daniel with displeasure, "So where should I put this stuff?

I've just managed to divert the Replacer's attention in North Hollywood and plan to use these things as bait. If you mess it up for me, you'll be the one who's really screwed."

Mountain Eagle glanced at the out-of-sorts police dog and the bodyguards in a few cars behind, then said to Daniel, "What's going on here?"

Daniel turned to look at a few men dressed in black suits from the Middle East standing around a vehicle parked on the lawn, threw up his hands helplessly, and said, "It's not just a cartel issue. The Replacer issued an attack warning, claiming this time their target is Prince Nayif of the Shah...

His Highness bought a mansion in the hills and plans to host several large gatherings in a week.

Kate was torn apart over the phone by someone from Washington, so our small 'Bangkok Group' with just a few people was sent here to stand guard."

As Daniel spoke, Anna's head bodyguard got out of the car and was arguing with the police.

Mountain Eagle frowned, glanced over, then said to Daniel, "You need to get your people to stop. It won't be easy to wrap up if this escalates."

Daniel put away his smile, picked up a radio to say a few words, then looked at Mountain Eagle seriously, "Sir, you need to ensure your people don't cause trouble. The prince's men are very difficult, and if it escalates, it will affect many things down the line.

Actually, Rosa and I both suspect the Replacer is deploying a smoke bomb. We don't know yet what they're planning, but they've successfully pulled a large number of police forces to the Beverly Hills area, creating a shortage of police in some areas."

Mountain Eagle paused slightly, resisted the urge to call Matthias, and asked, "Where's Kate now?"

Daniel grinned, "You thought of it too, didn't you?

Kate is in the police command center, monitoring the LAPD's movements and identifying the Replacement's target."

Mountain Eagle frowned, thinking, "The chief of the North Hollywood Police Department that day was problematic, wasn't he?"

Daniel nodded gravely, "Although there's no direct evidence, the case information we've compiled so far and his accounts all indicate he's not very clean."

Mountain Eagle's voice turned serious, "If they believed what I said that day in the North Hollywood Apartment, then theoretically the Replacer's target should be the Bright Ladder.

But since I took out the Bright Ladder's main force in Los Angeles, either they're making a big show because the Bright Ladder sent a lot of people to LA and they got wind of it, or they have another target.

"We have to keep a close watch on them. I think this time the Replacer is planning something big..."

Daniel listened and agreed, "We think so too, which is why both HRT and SWAT are on standby. As long as we can pinpoint their target, we can set up a trap."

Daniel glanced at the trunk of the Gurka and said, "Actually, that would be the best bait, but unfortunately the Replacer seems too impatient."

Mountain Eagle recalled meeting the intelligence broker Andrew Bonar at a banquet at Li Chengji's. He felt something was off, but couldn't quite put his finger on it...

Unable to figure it out, Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "I will act the day after tomorrow. My actions can't possibly elude the Replacer...

I find the Replacer's current situation suspicious, but I can't determine exactly where the problem lies.

But this is not my concern..."

Turning back to look at the cars honking behind them, Mountain Eagle nodded to Daniel and said, "Officer, can we go now?"

Daniel shrugged and said, "Of course, I'm just fulfilling orders from higher up. Making everyone around Beverly Hills despise Prince Nayif is our real goal.

Sometimes, the rich can be really annoying..."

Daniel glanced at the convoy Mountain Eagle brought, and the displeased Tiffany beside him, and gestured expansively, "I wasn't talking about you guys..."

Mountain Eagle laughed and said, "Without people like you being envious, the arrogance of the rich would be halved, so I think you should keep it up..."

Soon, Mountain Eagle and his team were let through. On the way to Li Chengji's mansion, Mountain Eagle noticed a few sentry points set up by Middle Easterners.

They didn't bother anyone else, just parked their cars on the roadside greenery and stood beside them, watching the passing vehicles.

Mountain Eagle wasn't sure if this counted as adequate security measures, but he thought the formality of the act outweighed the actual security support.

Li Chengji's mansion was on the hillside. As Mountain Eagle's convoy turned into the driveway from the main road, a Rolls-Royce and two Audi A6s were also trying to turn in...

The headstrong Tiffany didn't give way, adhering to the right turn first principle, and led the convoy to take the lead onto the driveway, leaving the Rolls-Royce stuck in the middle, honking continuously.

Mountain Eagle didn't mind such trivialities, just considering it a spectacle...

What he didn't expect was that as they entered the mansion gates and were about to get out, the Rolls-Royce barreled onto the lawn, blocking the Maybach on the right side, so that opening the door would hit it.

When Mountain Eagle rolled down the window to see who was so audacious, a group of bodyguards emerged from the Audi behind.

They approached the side of the Rolls-Royce, opened the door, and a cigar-chomping Latino fat man stepped out, glanced at Mountain Eagle, and under the escort of bodyguards, headed straight for Li Chengji's villa.

Mountain Eagle was amused, extending his hand out the window to signal Tiffany and the Round Table Knights not to act hastily, then directed the driver Sealion to drive past the fountain onto the villa's entrance driveway, blocking the fat man's path into the villa.

Jin Dacheng, stationed at the door, was the first to step forward and open the car door...

He glanced at the aggressive fat man and quietly said to Mountain Eagle, "Don't mess around, that guy is Alex Vincent, a very powerful Spanish arms dealer."

Mountain Eagle first helped Daria out of the passenger seat, then glanced at the fat man, stopped the growling Balang, and turned to reach out and help Anna out...

Heeded by Jin Dacheng's advice, Mountain Eagle patted the roof of the car, signaling Sealion to find a place to park...

He looked at Li Chengji, who was standing on the steps to welcome them, shook his head and chuckled, then whistled at Balang to keep off the pathway, and escorted the two ladies up the stairs, greeting Li Chengji.

Li Chengji didn't need an introduction from Mountain Eagle. She proactively extended her hand to Anna, saying, "Hello, Miss Anna Kuschenko. I heard during the negotiations that you were coming to Los Angeles. I didn't expect we'd meet here.

It seems the final outcome of the negotiations will be decided in the coming days..."

Li Chengji's voice was loud, and her words brought a pause to the aggressive fat man...

Anna's golden hair had been cut short, giving her a sharper presence. She raised her chin slightly, glanced at the halting fat man at the steps, then embraced Li Chengji with a smile, saying, "This has dragged on too long; it's time to wrap it up!"

Li Chengji glanced at the fat man with a grim face at the bottom of the steps, made an inviting gesture to Anna, then looked at Mountain Eagle and said, "Come in for a drink. Many people want to meet you tonight..."

Li Chengji appraised Mountain Eagle from head to toe, smiling as she remarked, "You're dressed very handsomely today..."

"Fuck you..."

While they exchanged pleasantries, an argument erupted at the bottom of the steps...

Mountain Eagle turned to see Tiffany and Lilith, two fierce women in evening dresses, covering their chests angrily as they faced the fat man's bodyguards...

Observing the smirking bodyguards, Mountain Eagle couldn't help but sigh...

No one here was particularly respectable, and even if a fight broke out, it seemed unlikely anyone would call the police, so...

"Tiffany, hit them..."
