Marcus did not answer Xiao Ran's question immediately, but pondered deeply.
After a while, he said:
"Mr. Sean, I cannot tell you who has been bewitching certain members of our family."
"The opponent is too powerful and we cannot afford to offend him, but what I can tell you is that the root cause is in Washington."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran didn't understand what was going on.
David and Sam on the side also reacted instantly.
Who else but that crazy old woman in Washington?
The Alejandro family in Baltimore has grown rapidly in power over the years because of the support of that crazy old woman.
To a certain extent, that crazy old woman is the representative and biggest backer of the Mafia in American politics.
She is also the Italian with the highest political status in the history of the United States. She is a pioneer and an evergreen tree!
Marcus' family is not ranked among the many notorious mafia families in the United States.
With their strength, they naturally cannot afford to offend the powerful Alejandro family of Baltimore, let alone that crazy old woman in Washington.
Xiao Ran looked at the family boss, then sneered and said:
"I think I know who the other party is, he's really haunted!"
Marcus nodded and then continued:
"Mr. Sean, what happened yesterday was our family's fault first. This is undeniable."
"Fortunately, you didn't suffer too much loss. On the contrary, we and all the guys who came to Manhattan died."
"The family leader who was bewitched and initiated this incident was arrested by the FBI early this morning."
"When things have reached this point, I think we should shake hands and make peace. This is good for both of us."
Xiao Ran shook his head slightly and said disdainfully:
"Shake hands and make peace? How can it be that easy? Who will make up for my losses?"
"During yesterday's firefight, several of my men were injured and suffered considerable losses."
"For us, this is an unreasonable disaster, and it cannot be overcome by shaking hands and making peace."
Hearing this, Marcus suddenly felt angry.
"Your men were only injured, but a dozen of us died. Who suffered greater losses?"
"Because of the high reward of 5 million US dollars, the four guys who escaped originally died tragically on the street!"
"From this point of view, we are the one who has suffered the greater losses!"
Speaking of this, Marcus' eyes flashed with hatred and a hint of fear.
Xiao Ran looked at the other party coldly, with disdain in his eyes.
"Yes, you have killed more than a dozen people, and it is true that the losses are greater, but they are seeking their own death, and they can't blame anyone."
"We are an ordinary exploration company, doing business legally, why should we be killed and robbed by your people?"
"If we didn't have enough force to protect ourselves, I believe you must know what would have happened yesterday."
Marcus and his lawyer were stunned, looking very embarrassed.
They also understood that what Xiao Ran said was absolutely correct.
It's just that they have already formed a gangster mentality.
I think it’s normal for ordinary people to be robbed by the mafia, but it’s just the law of the jungle!
The mafia occasionally fails in its robbery, and ordinary people should feel lucky to have escaped.
Then let the matter go, instead of holding on to the matter, which will only cause more trouble!
However, what they encountered this time was no ordinary person.
But they are more harsh than them. They don't pay attention to the notorious mafia at all, and they don't pay attention to their so-called rules.
Thinking of this, Marcus and the others had a headache, but they had no way to refute!
Before they could respond, Xiao Ran continued to say coldly:
"Speaking of the high reward of 5 million US dollars, it is just a means for me to assist the police in handling the case, and it is not worth mentioning."
"By the way, the high reward of 5 million US dollars was cashed in immediately last night."
"If necessary, I am willing to spend more money, even hundreds of millions of dollars, to hunt down more people and eradicate them!"
Before they finished speaking, Marcus and the others' expressions suddenly changed, and their eyes were full of fear.
They knew that the cruel guy in front of them could really do such crazy things.
It is easy for him to put hundreds of millions of dollars in rewards to hunt down certain people.
But for those who are being hunted, it is a disaster, and death is almost certain!
After a pause, Marcus said in a deep voice:
"Sean, I believe you have heard the saying, never harm your family!"
"If you do this, it will definitely trigger a war, which will be of no benefit to anyone."
Xiao Ran looked at the other party, sneered and shook his head.
"No harm to the family? When did the mafia talk about this? Aren't you always committed to eradicating the roots?"
"I'm not a gangster. Your so-called rules and morals don't apply to me. I have my own rules."
"If anyone dares to threaten my life or my family, I will pursue them relentlessly and eradicate them!"
"Hunting for a high reward is a good idea. For me, money is not an issue at all. I can have as much as I want!"
"ah!"
Marcus and his lawyer all exclaimed and were stunned.
This is a fucking lunatic! And he’s a madman with a net worth of billions of dollars!
Who can afford to offend such a bastard? Unless you get tired of living!
As Xiao Ran finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Marcus and the others fell into thinking, and then walked aside to discuss a few words in a low voice.
After turning around and coming back, the Italian lawyer said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Sean, you are right. This incident was instigated by our people, and you were just forced to deal with it."
"We came to the Plaza Hotel this time with sincerity to reconcile. We hope that both parties can end hostilities."
"As for your losses, as long as they are within a reasonable range, we can compensate you..."
As soon as he said this, he was directly interrupted by Xiao Ran.
"If you are willing to compensate, that would be great. I am a businessman and I don't want to fight with anyone."
"But if your compensation is money, forget it. I don't lack that few dollars, and that little money is not worth mentioning at all."
"I am very interested in things like treasure maps and treasure information. I am willing to accept such compensation."
"ah!"
Marcus and his lawyer were stunned and dumbfounded.
Treasure maps and treasure information? Where the hell are we going to get this?
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.
After the negotiation ended, Marcus and the others left the presidential suite.
As soon as they walked out of the door, their faces darkened and became very ugly.
Because Sam was beside them, they couldn't vent their anger and could only hold it in.
It wasn't until he left the Plaza Hotel and got into his car that Marcus gritted his teeth and cursed:
"Fake! Sean, this damn bastard, is so damn greedy. He is simply a madman and a robber."
Although he was extremely angry, he did not lose his mind and did not go into details.
At this moment, God knows how many FBI agents are staring at him, so how dare he say anything.
Not far away, there were several groups of FBI agents staring eagerly at this place.
There might be several bugs hidden in the car he was riding in.
In this case, Marcus could only keep silent to avoid leaks.
Immediately afterwards, they drove away from the Plaza Hotel and returned to Hoboken on the other side of the Hudson River.
In the presidential suite.
Xiao Ran discussed it with David for a few words and then put the matter aside.
However, he did not let down his guard.
Sam and the others are still on high alert to prevent any accidents.
Seeing that Marcus and the others had left, Elaine and the others came down from upstairs.
Although their eyes were full of worry, the three beauties didn't ask any questions.
They knew it was better not to ask about such things.
Knowing too much will not only not help matters, but will only increase worries.
Xiao Ran comforted them for a few words, and then got down to business.
About twenty minutes later.
Xiao Ran walked out of the presidential suite with David, several employees, and several portable safes.
They went straight to the top of the building, then took a medium-sized helicopter parked on the top of the building and flew to the headquarters of Goldman Sachs Bank in the lower city.
At the same time, the escort convoy led by Sam also set off from the hotel and headed straight for Wall Street.
This time they did not encounter any accidents and arrived at Wall Street smoothly.
After yesterday's bloody killing, especially the high reward, few people dared to take advantage of Xiao Ran anymore.
After arriving at Goldman Sachs Bank, Xiao Ran took out all the antique artworks that were to be sent back to the country and loaded them all into the medium-sized helicopter.
It also includes the oil painting from Picasso's pastoral period, which is being shipped back to Los Angeles.
Several relatively heavy items, such as Buddha heads, etc., were loaded into the armored escort vehicle.
As for the larger number of Western antiques and art, as well as many high imitations and handicrafts of average value, as well as fakes, they still remain in this vault.
These things can only be shipped back to Los Angeles later. There is plenty of time, so there is no need to rush.
Proposing that all the treasures should be sent back to China, Xiao Ran took people out of Goldman Sachs Bank, took a helicopter, and flew directly to JFK Airport.
About two hours later.
Xiao Ran's Gulfstream G700 roared off from JFK Airport and flew to Los Angeles on the West Coast.
