Chapter 146 – Traffic Jam (2/2)
Lei Yu smiled. “You’ve done a pretty good job! You’ve only just arrived in the U.S. for a short time and yet you’ve accomplished so much… not bad at all!”
Being praised by Lei Yu made Black Panther’s heart burst with delight. You could say he felt happier being praised than if he were to earn a few hundred million dollars.
Bringing Ai Er along, they opened up a private room in the nightclub. Lei Yu normally didn’t drink, but tonight he made an exception and had a couple of extra shots. There was quite a crowd tonight including: Black Panther, Gray Bear, Hu Jiong, and Hu Xin Er that had just flown over from Tenglong country. There was also Bianca and Ai Er’s two close friends Mona and Kelly.
“Wow! Ai Er, I didn’t expect your boyfriend to have so much money and open such a super-sized nightclub. With such a simple and cool name like ‘Ray’, I like it!” Mona seemed quite happy as she swayed her body to the rhythm of the music playing. Ai Er, Kelly, and Hu Xin Er, who had been silent the whole time, were all currently sitting together.
Lei Yu and a few others were sitting on the other side of the sofa, including Bianca. They were all discussing something of great importance.
“Bianca, what’s going on with Dr. Tony’s side? Have they made any movements?” Lei Yu asked.
Bianca shook her head. “Nothing’s going on right now. I really don’t know who interfered, but Dr. Tony and his people did not mention anything about you anymore. I believe that some hidden powerful organization said something, or else with Dr. Tony’s personality, he would certainly not let you off so easily.”
Lei Yu has been trying to figure out this matter for a long time now, but still couldn’t think of who would help him like this. Before going to Greece, he had a slight feeling that it could be Mr. Hawes from the Burlinder family, but gave up on that thought because he thought Mr. Hawes’s family should only be involved in regular businesses. After being together with the old woman and the things she knew, Lei Yu once again changed his thoughts and believed the Burlinder family may actually have the necessary influence!
Of course Lei Yu would not say this out loud and merely smiled and shook his head like he had no clue. “Ancient Moon, how are things going on your end?”
“With my original contacts and some of the bounty hunters, we have a total of eight people willing to join us and participate in the competitions. The thing is, there’s only two that are willing to cooperate with us full-time, while the other six will remain working for the Bounty Hunter’s Guild and will only join us at night. In regards to the two joining full-time, one is called Tony and the other is called Bruce. It will cost us $30,000 U.S. dollars for each competition they participate in while for the other six, it will cost us $10,000 U.S. dollars.” Replied Hu Jiong.
“Ok. You guys will be taking care of the whole operation. If it gets too tiring, just hire more people. I’m not too business savvy, but one thing I do know is that money makes the world go round. As long as we have money, anything is possible.”
Everyone nodded in agreement and showed they would be able to take care of everything for now.

On the night of a full moon, a shadow of a human was seen on a mound by the east river of New York City. His body gradually transformed…
“Ooopletely shocked when he arrived at the scene. In the middle of two intersecting roads, a black Toyota was stopped there. The windshield in front of the driver’s seat had a hole the diameter of an arm. In the driver’s position sat an Asian man, whose heart was completely gone. All you could see was a bloody hole that had dyed the surrounding ground in red.
Naturally, the mere scene of a murder was not possible to make Lei Yu shocked. The fact that the victim inside the car was Asian would only make him slightly surprised. The main reason was because Lei Yu recognized the person inside the car; this was the person he had been chasing from the Kou country all the way to New York City – Hasegawa!
