My American magical life
Chapter 144 - 144 54 A Gun Pointed at His Forehead!_2

144: Chapter 54: A Gun Pointed at His Forehead!_2 144: Chapter 54: A Gun Pointed at His Forehead!_2 The latest version goes like this, Scott pretends to pick a quarrel, holding up the security and employees, while Kernor bolts with the goods, making a lightning-fast getaway.

Regarding Taking without Paying, Scott and Kernor felt no guilt at all—they were unwanted in America, so naturally, they had no concerns about their actions.

“NO!

Don’t cause any trouble for Chan, this idea won’t work!”

Black sister stopped Scott’s wild imaginings, silently picked up the bag on the ground, and headed towards the big house.

“Hurry back, not sure if Chan’s home yet, we can ask him.”

Cheng Daqi’s many methods were truly out-of-this-world but also remarkably efficient, and Sani always admired him for it.

So she thought, if it had been Chan just now, he would definitely have had an answer.

With Kernor and Scott carrying big bags and Sani holding a smaller one, the three of them headed home together.

—————–

Thor was an Irishman in his thirties with a head of not-so-obvious red hair.

Ignoring the hand Cheng Daqi offered, he barged into the room.

“Not a bad place you’ve got here, Bruce.

Trouble’s coming!

Cheng Daqi felt a chill in his heart but smiled and responded as usual.

“It’s okay, just that the rent is too expensive.

Call me Chan,

but, up to now, I still don’t know your name, Mr.

Kidnapper.”

“Thor, my name is Thor.”

“So, are you the core of the five men?”

Gru, you really are a bit too ruthless.

Only those ferocious ones, who hardly seem real, are interesting.

Even though he was a dirty cop, even though he made Cheng Daqi repulsed, Cheng Daqi still admired Gru’s ability to control the situation and his ruthless methods.

“There’s no core, we’re a decentralized team, Andrei merely provided the weapons and funds.”

“Decentralized…

is it the kind of decentralization I’m thinking of?”

Cheng Daqi didn’t believe a word Thor said.

“Moreover, if it really was as you say, why could Mr.

Gru insert you into the situation?”

“I am the initiator, needing to find people in some secret small circles, and those people are whom we finally met after several rounds of selection, weeding out a number of undercover cops before.”

Thor’s words allowed Cheng Daqi to completely sort out all his thoughts.

Through an untraceable blockchain community, find suitable teammates, and then with Gru’s identity, check if the teammates are indeed dependable.

Thor was indeed a core member; he had just lied.

His role was a key link.

Connecting Gru with other kidnappers, thereby aiding Gru in achieving his goals.

“Mr.

Thor, you’ve spoken so much, but you still haven’t said what Mr.

Gru wanted to ask me.”

“The boss wants to know how much you’ve figured out.”

Cheng Daqi pondered, realizing that every day since his rebirth he had been using his brain intensively, never having a moment’s relaxation.

Gru asking how much he had figured out meant that Gru also felt the pressure.

He had already cozied up to the Democrats, solved the kidnapping case himself, and rescued all the hostages.

Why, then, did he still feel pressured?

His plan had no loopholes!

All the details flowed through his mind sequentially.

Guns fired, Thor and the kidnappers entered the library, the police charged the first time, second time, and finally, the last time, ending.

‘Hero’ Gru, suicidal Klauer, Tonks who died in an accident…

Gru wins.

That’s the internal power struggle of police forces, with Gru emerging as the ultimate winner.

Thor survived, Andrei suddenly disappeared, and from Thor’s words, Andrei might have been handled by Thor, and Gru wins again.

This represents the dangers hidden within the kidnapping case, with Gru perfectly controlling the situation.

Dracula went back to the Dracula Family, standing with Niusen, the higher-ups were satisfied with him, Gru continues to win.

Interest relations dictate that even if those two big shots see through Gru’s manipulations, they would still continue supporting him.

So why was he still pressured?

Because I am too smart, yet not so easily eliminated?

Eliminate all impossible answers, and the real answer becomes: Gru dreads me, fears that I might disclose his actions!

Temir, you truly are my God!

So, how should I respond…

Watching Cheng Daqi stay silent and look unwilling to answer, Thor grew slightly perplexed.

Isn’t it just asking what you’ve guessed?

Is it that difficult to answer?

Just as he was about to open his mouth impatiently to urge, Cheng Daqi replied.

“Your boss doesn’t want to know how much I’ve guessed, but rather, he wants me to keep quiet, right?”

“Yes, that’s…

probably right.”

Caught off guard by Cheng Daqi’s question, Thor felt a bit confused.

You’re seemingly right, but you haven’t actually answered my question, have you?[・_・?]

The rational thinking of an interest-driven animal is quite counterintuitive, like Cheng Daqi.

He would treat Eris with caution yet with genuine intent, dancing with a greedy hungry wolf for the sake of cooperation.

And Gru is a fierce tiger, a dirty cop who stops at nothing.

But this dirty cop had already snuggled up to Niusen’s big leg!

The favor Gru promised might be out of character, but Cheng Daqi believed it was out of a subconscious dread.

Because Temir stepped forward, entering the game to protect Cheng Daqi, even directly involving his own uncle.

That promise could be seen entirely as Gru’s way of exchanging favors to avoid being blackmailed after realizing his hold was under the control of an uncontrollable external force.

Sending Thor to probe a second time was the worst move, revealing his fear of Cheng Daqi, who was in an uncontrollable state.

He had made a mistake!

A fatal, yet not completely fatal error!
