Chapter 255: Chapter 254: Cutting Off His Retreat

Boer had some work done at the beauty salon, and then the swelling on his face was not as severe. Next was changing clothes.

Yang Yi’s bag always contained a change of clothes.

The weather in Las Vegas, situated in the middle of the desert, was nice, sunny all year round, but the temperature difference was quite significant. It was now October, and in the afternoons, the temperature could reach up to thirty degrees, but at night, it would drop to twelve or thirteen degrees.

It wasn’t strange to be without a jacket during the day, so Yang Yi swapped his jacket and then handed Boer his T-shirt and shorts to wear.

Boer was very resistant to going out in a T-shirt and shorts, not because of the cold, but because he was not accustomed to that kind of attire.

"Your T-shirt! Your shorts, having me go out in these? Oh, I’d rather die than go out like this."

Looking at the very determined Boer, Yang Yi immediately put the T-shirt and shorts back into his bag and said, with an indifferent face, "Then go ahead and die. If someone wants to kill you, they’ll recognize you in an instant. Don’t say we didn’t try to help you."

Boer quickly capitulated and then snatched the T-shirt from Yang Yi’s hand.

Although it was quite hot in Las Vegas during the day, Boer’s suit, shirt, and tie were all not missing, and he probably hadn’t worn shorts outside for many years indeed.

Xiao Ran glanced at his watch and said in a deep voice, "We need to hurry, pack up the old clothes and bring them with you. We’ll wait for you outside, make it quick."

Xiao Ran went out first, and Yang Yi quickly followed him, whispering, "It should be fine now, but we still need to be cautious. As soon as we reach that Tara Casino Hotel, we’ll separate from Boer. It’s too dangerous to stay with him."

After he finished speaking, Yang Yi couldn’t help but look up and heave a long sigh, "Looking back, every time something especially dangerous and life-threatening happened, it was never my own issue. Every time it was because of others’ problems that I ended up with bad luck."

Xiao Ran showed no particular reaction, only responding lightly, "That’s normal. Since you want to interact with people in this circle, then you are bound to be actively or passively involved in the disputes of this circle."

Boer came out of the dressing room with an awkward look on his face, holding his suit in his arms, then uncomfortably twisted his neck and said, "Let’s go."

"Go and settle the bill."

"I have no money."

"What?"

Boer looked at Yang Yi irritably and said, "When would someone of my status need to carry loose change to pay bills? So no, I don’t have any money, not a single dollar!"

"What about your card?"

"Of course not, do I look like the kind of person who needs to carry a wallet?"

Yang Yi raised his hand and said, "That’s enough, stop talking. I’ll pay for you."

Considering the face of fifty million US dollars, Yang Yi paid for Boer. A beauty service that can hardly be called a beauty treatment actually cost eight hundred dollars, and Yang Yi then understood why the black guy had brought them here. It turns out that even in the United States taxi drivers get kickbacks for delivering customers.

Once out the door, they took another taxi; the three of them continued on to the Tara Casino Hotel. While the straight-line distance wasn’t too far, they made a couple of detours on purpose, and it took them an hour to arrive at the destination.

The Tara Casino Hotel was a small casino, definitely not comparable to places like Caesar’s Palace and MGM Hotel, but the term "small" is relative. In any other city, it would be considered a large hotel.

Looking at the main entrance of the Tara Hotel, Boer whispered, "We’re not going in through the main door. There’s a side door over there, someone should be waiting for us."

Yang Yi pulled up the scarf around his neck, covering his face, while Xiao Ran also pulled down the hoodie and pulled up the scarf to cover her face.

Boer looked puzzled and said, "We’re safe here, why still do this?"

"Just a habit, hurry up and lead the way."

After urging Boer, the three of them bypassed the main entrance of the Tara Hotel, walked quite a distance to the side, and after passing through a parking lot, they saw a small door.

A man was standing at the door, who quickly approached upon seeing Boer and whispered, "Are you Mr. Stupak?"

"Yes."

Please follow me.

The man leading the way took out a key to open the small door, then without a word, went through an internal hotel staff passageway and up the fire stairs to the sixth floor. After opening a guest room door, he whispered, "Please come in and then give my boss a call."

As soon as the guide finished speaking, he was about to leave when Boer whispered, "Wait, is there only one room?"

"Yes, sir."

Boer was about to say more, but Yang Yi pushed him gently. Boer then said with resignation, "All right then, thank you."

Yang Yi entered the room first and thoroughly checked it inside and out, then nodded at Boer and Xiao Ran.

Although there was only one guest room, it was a suite with a living room, a main bedroom, and a second bedroom, each with its own bathroom.

After checking the condition of the guest room, Boer sighed and said, "I’ll sleep here; you two take the other bedroom. Let me make a call first. Oh, I need to ’wash’ my phone."

Boer headed to the bathroom, quickly cleaned his phone, and then started making a call inside the bathroom, muttering for quite a while before coming out looking relaxed.

Throwing his phone onto the bed, Boer immediately lay down.

"Ah... we’re safe now. My friend will definitely help me get out of here. He’ll come to pick me up in his private plane and take us anywhere we want to go, no passport needed, no visa needed. I have to admit, money really is the most wonderful thing in the world."

Yang Yi said in a deep voice, "When will the plane come?"

"Not today, nor tomorrow. The earliest will be tomorrow night, or maybe the day after during the day. My friend promised he’ll get me out as soon as possible, but he’s in Europe, and applying for the flight path and all is a hassle, so it won’t be too quick. But don’t worry, we’re safe here."

Safe? Yang Yi didn’t dare to think so. Two days was too long, and who knew what might happen. However, compared to trying to fight their way out of Las Vegas themselves, it was better to have Boer’s friend help them leave.

If they had to stay here for two days, that gave them time to look for Zhang Yong. And this time, Yang Yi was not planning to search himself.

"I came here to find someone, and now because of you, we can no longer search. I want to know, is Makas still reliable?"

Boer thought for a moment and said, "It depends on what you want to do."

Yang Yi said sternly, "Have Makas inform all of Las Vegas’s casinos that a man has cheated at Caesar’s Palace and won a lot of money. I want all the casinos in Las Vegas to tell Makas where he is as soon as they spot him. Is that possible?"

Boer replied, "Oh, that’s a small matter. It’s a bit risky to find Makas, just talk to the manager here instead."

Xiao Ran looked enlightened and said, "So this is your ace in the hole, huh? That’s harsh. After this, he won’t ever be able to play in the casinos of Las Vegas again."

Yang Yi smiled and said, "If he can’t play, so be it. With his skills, playing is just giving money to the casino. So cutting off his access to the casinos is for his own good."
