After Jem saw Li Mo off, he turned around and walked into the elevator until he reached the fifth floor. When I got out of the elevator, I saw more than twenty people in the huge living room, and five people were sitting on the sofa drinking red wine and champagne.
"Mr. Jim, is Li Mo gone?"
A thin, white-haired old man elegantly held a goblet, gently shaking the blood-like red wine inside.
Others also turned to look at the fat Jem. In front of outsiders, Jem looked aloof, but in front of these five people, he bowed respectfully and said carefully: "Back to Mr. James, Li Mo has left. , he has agreed to play."
Another American in his fifties who was sitting on the sofa put down the champagne in his hand and asked: "Mr. James, is this Qin Mo really the Chinese boy Li Mo who disappeared on Australia Island?"
"According to reliable information, it is absolutely correct. He didn't die on Ao Island at all back then. He later wandered overseas for two years before returning to China. That kid was very cruel. Six major conglomerates in Europe and the United States joined forces and were captured by him on Ao Island. It didn’t matter if he was killed, but later even the island country was brutally killed by him. Don’t you all know the news?”
Old James took a sip of red wine, and a glimmer of light appeared in his blue eyes: "If Jem hadn't suffered a big loss in his hands, I wouldn't have sent anyone to investigate him. It's really surprising. Arrange it for him tomorrow. The strongest opponent is 'Crazy Bear', we join forces this time to make a lot of money."
"Mr. James, do you think Li Mo can defeat that mad bear?"
"Li Mo is worth trillions, and his elders are the mainstays in China. How could such a person be personally involved in danger if he didn't have enough confidence? Besides, you have all seen the video of his fighting power, so you must have a very intuitive feeling. , as long as we operate it properly and bring in the world's top rich people to gamble, we can make at least hundreds of billions of dollars this time. Now let's see how Li Mo places his bet. That kid is so bold. I guess his eyes will Aiming for eight times, nine times and ten times the bet. No one has made that kind of bet for many years, and if there is a bet this time, it will only be done by him personally."
Jem thought for a moment and asked: "Mr. James, when the game is over, do you want to get rid of him?"
"Stupid, such a person came to the United States under a pseudonym. Do you think there will be no one to protect him secretly? Since he dared to agree to this life and death competition, do you think he was blinded by money? Not only can we not touch him, but we also have to fight with him Maintain a friendly relationship. This man has a special liking for antiques. After he won the competition, the five of us teamed up to send some antiques in return to convey a goodwill to him."
James stood up from the sofa, walked to the window with a wine glass and looked out at the city.
"The evil money, how fascinating it is."
"Mr. James, I will make arrangements now." Jem said respectfully.
"Go ahead."
Li Mo and the others found a Chinese restaurant to have a good meal. Due to changes in plans, today's visit to the antique street was cancelled.
"Mr. Qin, according to your instructions, a total of one hundred and thirty accounts have been prepared, and funds have been transferred into them in varying degrees. All the people lurking in New York have been recruited. They will be sent to you as soon as your competition is over. Leave New York and go to our secret stronghold. When things in New York are over, we will return to China."
In May, everything will be reported one by one.
"Mr. Qin, did you agree to the request of that fat guy from the United States because of the clues about the bronze statue of the twelve zodiac animal heads?"
"The Old Summer Palace was burned down, and the coalition forces stole countless treasures from there. The bronze zodiac heads are only an insignificant part of them. I'm wondering if there are countless more that disappeared together with the remaining bronze zodiac heads. The treasures of the Old Summer Palace. This risk is worth taking. The third phase of the reconstruction project of the Ancient Yunxuan Old Summer Palace in China is already underway. If more of the lost treasures of the Old Summer Palace can be recovered, then the reconstructed Old Summer Palace will be worthy of its name."
Li Mo ate a bowl of rice and drank a bowl of soup. He touched his belly and said, "The chef's skills are mediocre and the spicy food is not spicy enough. Let's just go shopping after eating. There's nothing wrong with staying in the hotel." Come out with me and have a lot of fun. If you want to bring gifts for your family, buy whatever you want. I'll pay for it."
Gifts are definitely not allowed, this is a matter of discipline. As for the rewards Li Mo gave them when they returned to China, he would also handle them through official channels instead of transferring them directly to their names. This would also be a big problem if pursued.
"Mr. Qin, the battle will be fierce tomorrow night. You can rest in the hotel tomorrow and we will handle the rest."
"Okay, don't feel any pressure."
Li Mo knew what his foundation was, so he didn't worry at all. He happily wandered around the bustling commercial streets of New York, and would try some snacks when he saw them, but the taste was just average.
The next day, Li Mo did not leave the hotel, but stayed in the room to do some simple warm-up exercises. It wasn't until about six o'clock in the afternoon that Dashan came and knocked on the door and said: "Jem has sent someone to pick you up, and we are ready to leave."
"I have nothing to prepare, let's go."
The four cars drove towards the outskirts of New York City. After about half an hour, they entered a huge courtyard. There were rows of warehouses here. The outer walls had already been spray-painted with colorful patterns. Countless young people in well-dressed clothes were coming in and out, sitting in You can hear metallic music blaring outside in the car.
Seeing the arrival of four luxury cars, the young people gave way and the car drove into a warehouse. There were more than a dozen burly and tough security guards guarding the door, and no one was allowed in.
Li Mo put on a tiger head mask, and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw that fat guy Jem coming up to him with a smile.
"We will draw lots later. The competition will start around seven o'clock. Are you confident of winning?"
Li Mo glanced at the fat man and said coldly: "Didn't you buy a lot of ten times the odds?"
"Hahaha." There was no embarrassment on Jem's face. He took a puff of his cigar and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I have full confidence in you. The boss behind me said that as long as you win, tomorrow I will send you a batch of antiques as a thank you gift, and I also hope you can become friends."
The identity of this damn fat man is indeed not simple. I didn't expect that he was just a white glove, and there was a more powerful manipulator behind him. He didn't reveal anything to himself until before the game started.
"Mr. Jim, for the sake of our friendship, I will do my best. But as soon as the competition is over, I will leave to avoid causing other trouble."
Jem was waiting for his words. Hearing what he said, he felt completely relieved.
"We may have other cooperation in the future, so don't worry, I will arrange for you to leave safely after it's over."
A group of people kept walking inside, and everyone they met looked at Li Mo curiously. As long as you see someone wearing a mask, it means that this person will either leave after the battle tonight or die on the stage.
Soon after entering a separate room, someone had already prepared the competition uniforms. Li Mo took off his jacket and put on his competition uniform. The two Americans immediately started wrapping strips of cloth around his hands and feet. The first purpose of doing this is to protect the wrists and ankles to the maximum extent, which is to increase the friction of the blow. If the hands and feet are bare, they will become very slippery once they are stained with blood.
After the knot was tied up, Li Mo stood up and moved, frowning and said: "It's unnecessary to untie it. It will affect my performance."
Jem looked at Li Mo and nodded towards the two people assisting him. Deciding the world within ten seconds is actually just one move, and there is no chance for a second move.
"Mr. Jim, the drawing has begun."
Someone pushed the door open and walked in with a warning, and Jem hurriedly followed and walked out. About ten minutes later, he returned to the room with a pale face and panicked eyes. An accident must have occurred.
Li Mo glanced at him and didn't ask.
May stepped forward to communicate with him, and her face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Mr. Qin, things have changed. You can't play. We will leave immediately."
Li Mo sat on the chair and asked calmly: "Tell me, what happened?"
"There are a lot of people betting on ten times the odds this time. If you win, some people will lose everything. The one you are fighting against is called 'Crazy Bear'. He has been on the battlefield eighty-nine times without ever losing. More than half of them have died at his hands."
"In order to win you this time, the dealer has given up on the crazy bear and asked him to inject the forbidden substance before he goes on the field. By then, he will be a bear that has lost his mind, and he does not know pain or fear. The forbidden substance is very scary, and in the end he even If you win, you will become a waste in this life. Mr. Qin, we will quit this game and leave immediately."
May's voice was urgent.
"You can't leave." Li Mo patted her shoulder gently and comforted her gently, "Don't worry."
"Mr. Jim, does this not violate the rules of the game?"
Jem wiped the sweat from his head and said: "The underground forces are doing everything they can. They can be used at critical moments, but no one has used them in so many years. The odds of ten times this time are too high. The dealer If it fails, it will cost more than $100 billion."
Li Mo suddenly slapped the table next to him: "You guys are too dark."
Jem's face didn't know whether he was bitter or smiling. If Li Mo lost, there would be no need for him to exist anymore. Life and death depended on him.
"Jim, if I break that mad bear's heart with a punch, or kick his head off, do you think he can stand up and fight again? No matter if he is a human or a bear, we have already There's no way out. Mr. Jem, you just have to pray to God that I'll win."
Li Mo finished speaking calmly, then walked to the side, opened the Tai Chi starting position, and slowly started to fight one move after another.
