As Knight entered, a warm smile lit up his cool demeanor, giving his appearance an indescribable charm.
”Hi, Li.” He gave the simple greeting directly.
Godzilla glared at him viciously with his eyes enlarged while making crunching sounds with his tightly clasped fists.
With his composure unchanged, the middle-aged man standing behind Knight took a big step forward diagonally. He then returned Godzilla's glare with a chilling look.
Seeing that, Knight gave the middle-aged man a smile and said, ”No need for that. We're not enemies.”
The middle-age man nodded and then took a step back. Although he had not uttered a single word, he created tension with his thunder-like power, resembling a black mamba viper out hunting for prey at midnight.
Quiet, silent, vicious – killing with a single blow.
Knight said, ”Li, there could be a misunderstanding between us. Did you think that I arranged for people to carry out this kidnapping?”
He had guessed the reason behind Li Du's accusation.
Li had no evidence and could only give an embarrassed smile in response. ”Oh no, I was too nervous and fatigued then. Being in a distracted state, I could have hallucinated.”
Knight didn't push the topic. He said, ”Although your interference caused me to suffer huge losses during my face-off with Akkalou, it's very clear to me that you are not my enemy. I wouldn't do anything to harm you.”
Playboy nodded. ”He may not be a good guy but he wouldn't intentionally cause anyone harm. Li, this incident had nothing to do with Knight.”
Knight flashed a smile at him and said, ”Thank you, Akkalou. Thank you for choosing to believe me.”
Playboy ignored him and continued saying, ”If he were to arrange for anyone to make a move, then it wouldn't be kidnapping, it'd be murder. He wouldn't kidnap anyone.”
Knight spread his hands wide open and laughed out loud. ”You're right. You really know me well.”
Li Du smiled ruefully. ”Apologies, Mr. Ferrari. My groundless accusations have brought you trouble . . .”
”No need for apologies,” Knight waved his hand, interrupting him. ”I came to look for you to resolve the misunderstanding between us. My men will find that fella who kidnapped you. I hope that when that happens, you'll not think that we're in cahoots with him. I will push him and his people out to get shot at.”
Li Du said, ”Alright, no more misunderstanding between us.”
Knight went up to him to shake his hand and then offered him some well wishes before taking his leave.
This case had ended as swiftly as it had started. Now, it had nothing to do with Li Du anymore.
Playboy had promised him that he would catch hold of those thugs before he left Las Vegas.
Li Du felt assured by his promise. Now that both the police and the triads were hunting them down, even if the eight of them had supernatural powers, they wouldn't be able to escape.
Especially since Knight was now involved – it would come in handy.
In a place like Las Vegas, the power the triads possessed was less than that of the police. This was America after all, the country with the most powerful police force in the world.
However, the police didn't have as many pairs of eyes as the triads did. They may not have been as powerful as the police when dealing with people, but they were way better at hunting people down.
Li Du continued sleeping while Hans brought the rest along to clean up the storage units.
Godzilla did not join them. He sat at the doorway unmoving, much like a statue.
He felt terrible about Li Du's kidnapping and hadn't slept a wink since it had happened. He felt that Li Du had gotten kidnapped because he wasn't doing his job well enough.
