"It's okay, you can just investigate for me."

He Ao nodded. He could already see the warehouse door in front of him. He turned to look at Hai Xi and asked, "How much is the commission?"

Judging from what Hai Xi just said, investigating these medicinal herbs is not an easy task, and it will require the use of Hai Xi's own resources.

Although he and Haixi had established a certain comrade-in-arms trust after fighting side by side last night, this trust was based on the delegation of interests.

Strictly speaking, the two are just business partners with a good relationship. For such a difficult commission, it is still necessary to clarify the accounts.

"Let's wait until the investigation results are out,"

Hai Xi lowered her head and pondered for a moment. "I'm not sure if I can complete your request. If I'm lucky, my informant will know this information directly, which will reduce the cost a lot. If I'm unlucky, I'll have to deal with those old guys, which will be troublesome."

"sorry to bother you."

He Ao had already reached the warehouse door. He placed his hand on the door and slowly pushed it open.

"No trouble at all, this is what we middlemen do for a living,"

Haise smiled, watching the warehouse door slowly open. "So you're really going to release Thorne?"

“We’re not kidnappers,” Heo shrugged and walked into the warehouse. “We just invited Mr. Thorne over for fun. Now that he wants to go home, we can’t stop him. We have to obey the law.”

Hai Xi watched as He Ao's figure slowly disappeared into the darkness.

He was stunned for a moment.

Could this guy actually be a law-abiding citizen?

He clearly hit harder than anyone else; he was both crazy and ruthless.

But thinking about it carefully, He Ao did specifically instruct her last night to "invite" Thorne over and not to kidnap him.

She did extend an invitation, and very politely, Thorne accepted it.

As for the heavy machine guns that were surrounding Thorne at the time, they were just delivery vehicles that happened to be there.

Unconsciously, Hai Xi felt as if she had somehow gotten caught up in He Ao's thought process.

She shook her head and followed He Ao into the warehouse.

He Ao arrested the person; she was merely acting on his behalf yesterday. How to deal with him is He Ao's business.

······

In the warehouse, He Ao communicated with Thorne again, selling the modified G-04 laser cannon to Thorne for 9.3 million, and also selling the four off-road vehicles for 300,000.

They also added some firearms, bringing the total price to 9.7 million.

He Ao repeatedly confirmed with Thorne that there was no forced sale before signing the electronic contract with Thorne.

He's price is also reasonable. He only made half the profit from the off-road vehicle. Although he made more profit from the laser cannon, it was a modified product and was quite different from the original G-04 laser cannon. It is normal to charge a reasonable modification fee.

The transaction between the two was conducted on a cash-before-delivery basis. Thorne first paid Heo in cryptocurrency, and then Heo delivered the goods to him.

During this process, Heo gave Thorne a new bracelet to transfer money and monitored Thorne's actions in real time.

Clearly, Thorne was in pain when it came time to pay.

Even he, who had been in business for so many years, could not quickly come up with nearly ten million federal dollars in cash. It took him half an hour to find a friend at the bank to raise the money.

When he transferred the money to He Ao, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

He Ao advised him to drink more hot water to avoid getting a sore throat.

Of course, Heo was a man of his word. After Thorne transferred the money, Heo immediately had Hayes bring over the laser cannon and the off-road vehicle, and released Thorne's men.

Hai Xi didn't seem to care that He Ao made several times his initial investment in a quick transaction.

He was able to sell the item to Thorne at such a high premium because he had done a lot of preliminary preparation. In any other situation, Thorne would never have been taken advantage of.

Moreover, He Ao's skill in modifying the laser cannon was indeed superb, and this skill was certainly worth a lot of money.

So this is actually money earned through hard work and skill.

Then, just as Thorne finished paying and was still somewhat dazed, Heo arranged for his men to drag him out and put him with his men.

The pungent stench of garbage hit them instantly, and Thorne and his men instinctively covered their noses.

Seeing this, Hai Xi subconsciously glanced at He Ao, whose face was calm and who made no attempt to conceal his identity.

“Jace, you said you would escort us out.”

Thorne stood next to the laser cannon and shouted at Heo.

The laser cannon was brought by He Ao, so it's currently placed at the warehouse entrance. The off-road vehicle, however, will need to be transferred from elsewhere by Hai Xi, which will take some time.

Waiting here

For a moment, Thorne's gaze remained fixed on He Ao.

He Ao didn't care and walked over directly, saying, "When a friend is leaving, it's natural to see them off."

Seeing Heo approach, Thorne subconsciously took a step back before regaining his balance and pretending nothing had happened.

Just as the SUVs arrived one after another, Hai Xi's bracelet vibrated. She glanced at the message and quickly waved to He Ao.

"what happened?"

He Ao saw her actions and asked with some curiosity.

“An anonymous person has put a bounty on your trail on the black market,” Hashi said quickly. “Whoever finds you can get a reward of up to one million, and if anyone kills you, they can get a reward of fifteen million.”

"Hmm, I raised the price again?"

He Ao smiled and nodded.

"You have to be careful."

"Such a high bounty is enough to drive all the gangs in the West District crazy," Hathy said softly.

Fifteen million is a huge sum of money that most people in the Federation would be willing to give up their lives for.

Even a middleman like Thorne, the second-best in the world in Vettel, would have a hard time raising ten million, let alone fifteen million.

This money could allow any gang newbie to instantly transcend their social status and live a life of high society.

Money moves people's hearts.

"I see."

He Ao nodded slightly.

"Are you going to escort Thorne out? Will you come back after you leave?"

Hai Xi glanced at Thorne, who was already getting into the car in the distance, and asked softly.

“Not for now, I have something I need to verify,” He Ao said slowly. “If you find anything, just send me a message.”

Last night, He Ao and Hai Xi each saved the other's contact information.

“Okay,” Haixi nodded.

"Be careful. Thorne is no pushover. He must have some valuable items he's used for self-defense or attack over the years, but I haven't found anything on him."

"Also, Thorne didn't have good intentions in asking you to escort me. You'd better be careful. I'm still waiting for you to pay me my commission fee. Don't make me work for nothing."

"rest assured."

He smiled, said goodbye to Haixi, and turned to walk into Thorne's group.

Most of the seats in the convoy were occupied, with only one empty seat remaining in the front passenger seat of the car at the very front.

He Ao walked to the SUV and opened the passenger door.

Looking around, I saw that the modified laser cannon was mounted on the roof of the second car in the convoy, right behind Heo's car.

Thorne was also sitting in that car.

Then He Ao turned his gaze back to the driver of the SUV in front of him.

The driver had a white ring-shaped mark on his wrist, a mark left from wearing a wristband for a long time.

Thorne's men all handed over their communication devices, which allowed them to contact the outside world, at Hayes's polite 'invitation'.

Hai Xi didn't take any of their equipment; she put it all in the trunk of the back seat of the first SUV.

The Zarote region is a maze of interconnected paths, hiding all sorts of secret trails.

It was impossible for Heo and Thorne to find their way on their own, so Hai Xi arranged for a boy on a motorcycle to lead the way.

The boy was riding his bike extremely fast, and the drivers of the convoy had to accelerate and weave through the crowd to keep up with him.

However, as a result, the group quickly left the core area of ​​the Zarote district and moved closer to the edge of the district.

After walking for a while, the boy on the bicycle stopped, waved goodbye to He Ao, and then disappeared into the garbage heap in a flash.

At this moment, the entire convoy could see the normal yet dilapidated streets outside. A little further ahead was the West District.

He glanced back at the vehicle Thorne was in; it was moving very slowly, as if wary of potential attacks from the surrounding area.

Thorne was still worried about Heo, fearing that Hayes and Heo would set up an ambush here again.

Meanwhile, He Ao spotted several children peering curiously down from the dilapidated building amidst the surrounding garbage.

Although they were quickly taken away by their parents.

As the off-road vehicles slowly moved forward, the entire convoy finally entered the West Side, away from the Zarote neighborhood.

He Ao reached out and placed his hand on the doorknob, pulled the mechanical lock, and gently pushed the door, only to find it locked.

These off-road vehicles do not have a mechanical door lock that automatically locks while driving.

He Ao looked at the rearview mirror. Behind the car, the laser cannon mounted on the roof of the SUV slowly moved its muzzle, aiming at the car.

He Ao glanced at the bracelet on his wrist; it was 5:29.

The last rays of the setting sun shone on the old road.

The time is just right.
