That evening, Amalia arrived at the Venetian Hotel.
Once in the suite, Amazon loosened his tie, took off his suit, and seemed to be in a better mood. There was another reason why he had come to the hotel alone today.
Although other countries are more open to same-sex relationships, this is Macau, and Amazon, for the sake of his identity and reputation, would naturally not do anything shameful.
It is precisely because he is impotent that he needs Sophia as a cover; as for his mind, it has long been twisted and deformed.
Tonight, Yamalu planned to invite his male companion over to relax. That's why he didn't bring many bodyguards and kept his whereabouts secret, thinking that no one would notice.
Moreover, the fewer people who know about such an embarrassing thing, the better. He even arranged for bodyguards to be stationed outside the hotel.
He wasn't worried about the current situation in Haojiang at all. Once their Frankish warships arrived, these bandits would be easily wiped out. Their firepower and equipment were far superior to those of a few petty thieves.
Ni Yongyao was nothing more than an ant in his eyes, and it would be easy for the army to deal with him.
Just then, Azu and his group sneaked in and found out where Yamalu was.
Ah Zu, dressed as a waiter, wearing a mask and a chef's hat, slowly pushed a food cart over and said, "Hello, sir, hotel service."
As for Ah Zu, he wasn't afraid of exposing his true colors. The hotel's surveillance footage was already under Liang Maisi's control and wouldn't capture them at all.
This evidence will be completely destroyed, and besides, he has also concealed his identity.
Upon hearing this, Yamaru frowned. He hadn't ordered room service. He went to the door, glanced through the peephole to confirm it was a staff member, then opened the door and said rudely:
"I don't need it, don't bother me."
But before he could finish speaking, Ah Zu had already pulled out a silenced pistol from his pocket with swift and decisive movements.
"Bang bang bang!"
Several muffled thuds were heard as several bullets accurately struck Yamalu's head and heart.
Before Yama could even let out a scream, his face was frozen, and all that could be seen was the look of terror in his eyes. He was killed on the spot by Azu.
Azu glanced around, then dragged Yamalu's body into the hotel, and then used a towel to block the door cracks to prevent blood from spilling out.
The whole process took less than a minute. Normally, Yamaru would have had quite a few bodyguards, so taking him down wouldn't have been an easy task.
But it was only because Yamaru secretly went into the hotel today that Azu had the chance.
After finishing everything, Ah Zu quickly cleaned up the scene, closed the door with gloves, and turned to leave.
By this time, Liang Maisi had completely deleted the surveillance footage, but even if it were recovered, little useful information could be found.
With their faces completely covered by masks, it was impossible for anyone to discover their true identities.
Ah Zu strode away from the hotel unhurriedly, got on a motorcycle not far away, and sped off. He seemed to have killed an ant, completely unconcerned, as too many people had died at their hands.
As for the governor, Ah Zu only felt that he had a special status, but he didn't think he would be difficult to kill. However, he carefully left the scene without leaving any evidence.
After returning to the hotel, he took out his phone and called Ni Yongyao:
“Mr. Ni, we’ve already taken care of Yamar. That idiot didn’t take any precautions at all.”
The key is that Azu succeeded too easily, mainly because Yamalu was too arrogant and simply did not believe that anyone would come to kill him.
P.S.: I'm begging you all for some flowers, ratings, and monthly tickets!

Azu acted swiftly and decisively, but he didn't expect that Yama was so careless that even his bodyguards weren't prepared, which allowed him to succeed so easily.
As for the clues and evidence, they were all destroyed, so no one knew it was him, and no useful evidence could be found.
Upon hearing this, Ni Yongyao nodded in satisfaction. With Yamaliu dead, acquiring shares in other casinos would be a piece of cake, and he wasn't afraid of being suspected.
Once the acquisition of the Macau casino is complete, Ah Zu can be made to disappear from the public eye, ideally by being captured by their Galaxy Casino.
This would not only bring fame but also revive tourism in Haojiang, attracting tourists back. After a while, no one would consider Haojiang a dangerous place anymore.
“Ah Zu, you should stay away from Macau for the time being. It would be best if you returned to Hong Kong Island. I will take care of the rest.”
Ah Zu and his group are the children of various Hong Kong tycoons. Their long absence could easily lead to speculation from those with ulterior motives, and he wanted to eliminate that possibility.
Ah Zu replied respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Ni, thank you for making my trip to Macau so enjoyable."
Ah Zu has had a blast this past month, and now that he's back in Hong Kong, he can finally relax for a while. He's looking forward to the next game.
Ni Yongyao smiled slightly and arranged for Ah Zu and the others to leave. Next, he planned to make a large-scale acquisition of shares in the Macau casino. As long as Ama Liu was dead, anyone who wasn't a fool would definitely sell off their shares.
……
The next morning, Macau news media released a shocking news story:
"Last night at the Venetian Hotel, the Governor of Macau, Amaral, was assassinated. The police have not yet found the murderer or any clues."
"But the police suspect that this case is very likely related to the criminal gang that robbed the foreigners in Galaxy before, and they are doing their best to solve it, otherwise it could cause international problems."
This news was undoubtedly a major earthquake in Macau. Who would have thought that Amarul would die? His status and position were too special.
Although Macau will eventually return to the mainland, it was indeed under the administration of the Frankish Empire during the lease period, and all the governors-general transitioned peacefully in Macau.
Who would have thought that the last governor would be assassinated? He was truly an unlucky fellow.
This incident even attracted the attention of International News 20, and the mainland also paid attention to it. It's really hard to believe that someone would have the audacity to assassinate the governor.
Soon, in the villa, He Xin received the news, squinted his eyes, and sighed:
"Mr. Ni is really bold."
At the same time, He Xin felt somewhat fortunate that he had already established a partnership with the Ni family; otherwise, his fate would have been quite tragic.
Needless to say, Macau is bound to be in chaos, and even the businesses owned by foreigners in Macau will be shaken.
But the Franco-German Empire will certainly react; Macau is a cash cow for them.
At the same time, this is also a matter of their reputation. The governor was killed, and the Frankish Empire would definitely be furious and send warships to suppress them. It is unknown whether Ni Yongyao can bear such consequences.
He Xin pondered for a moment and realized that he should keep a low profile for the time being, and leave the rest to Ni Yongyao.
He wanted to see if Ni Yongyao could resolve this crisis, mainly because the Frankish Empire was not something a single family could provoke, and even He Xin might be implicated.
But at this time, instead of keeping a low profile, Ni Yongyao began to aggressively acquire shares of the gaming license, which terrified other small shareholders.
Just a few days ago, Yama Liu said that Ni Yongyao had wolfish ambitions and planned to send warships to suppress him.
A few days later, Yamaru died tragically in the hotel. These businessmen were not fools. They did not expect that Ni Yongyao would dare to kill even the Governor of Haojiang. So, taking them down would be an easy task.
Even if they get the money, they won't live to spend it. Even if they suspect Ni Yongyao did it, who has the evidence? At this point, wouldn't it be asking for trouble if they voiced their suspicions about Ni Yongyao?
Thinking about it this way, most of the gambling license shareholders immediately sold their shares and planned to run away. Everyone knew that when the Frankish Empire's warships arrived in Macau, there would definitely be chaos.
These wealthy people aren't fools; they know that offending the Ni family will have consequences. Even if the Ni family acquires the shares at an extremely low price, they wouldn't dare to express any dissatisfaction. Everyone knows what will happen to Yama Liu.
Meanwhile, after acquiring the shares, Ni Yongyao began to expand the casinos on a large scale, and put Gao Jin in charge of casino-related matters. These casino acquisitions were already a done deal.
As for the Frankish Empire, Ni Yongyao didn't take it seriously at all. He did his business in Macau the same way, and even when the police came to investigate him, he wasn't worried at all.
Anyway, these cops can't figure out the relationship between him and Ah Zu. They can just send someone impersonating Ah Zu to rob the Galaxy Casino, get caught and killed, and that will be the end of the matter.
Sofia has recently been helping Ni Yongyao organize the businesses left behind by the foreigners in Macau, since the foreigners not only have casinos, but also real estate, tourism, restaurants and other industries.
These assets are all operated and built by foreigners, simply because gambling licenses are more profitable, but the profits from these service industries are not low.
Sofia also quickly took over the business by virtue of being the widow of Amazon, and Ni Yongyao completely took over the business in the three districts of Macau, letting Wan Kuok-koi and Ko Chun take over the casino.
……
Soon, news of Amalia's death reached the upper echelons of the Franco Group, and they held an emergency meeting.
Commander Guterres looked grim. They had recently received a request for support from Yamalu, hoping that warships could come to Haojiang to suppress these bandits. At first, they thought it was an overreaction.
The area of Haojiang was originally seized by them by force, only nominally called a lease. Moreover, everyone knows the power of the Western countries. So many governors have remained unharmed, and they have made a fortune in Haojiang.
But who could have imagined that the governor would be killed so suddenly? This was undoubtedly a blatant provocation, and more importantly, it had escalated to an international issue. Moreover, Guterres understood that the profits that Macau brought them every year were enormous.
If it weren't for the mainland's rise to power, they wouldn't have been willing to return the lease even when it expired. These last few years are their best opportunity to make money.
With the governor's death, there will definitely be huge changes in Macau, and he has made up his mind:
"Immediately arrange for Admiral Sanchez to send warships to Haojiang to suppress these ungrateful bandits by force and regain control of Haojiang."
Guterres's motivation stemmed from two main reasons: firstly, to avenge Amazon's death and find out the cause of his demise; and secondly, because they were reluctant to relinquish the lucrative territory of Macau, which belonged to them.
A single warship is enough to suppress the short mule in Haojiang; how could a family's power compare to that of a nation?
The Frankish leadership was determined to reclaim Macau by force. Whoever killed the governor would pay a heavy price, even if they had no evidence; suspicion was enough.
Once their warships reach Haojiang, those bandits will be nothing more than ants, the Franco Empire believed it had the strength to do so.
……
Inside the Lisboa Hotel, Ni Yongyao sipped red wine while Gao Jin reported to him.
“Mr. Ni, we have acquired most of the gaming licenses and taken over these casinos. However, due to the robbery in Macau and the death of the governor, most of the casinos are currently without tourists.”
This is normal, though. Haojiang is a tourist city, and with such a big incident, there are hardly any tourists. Besides, the Frankish Empire also plans to send warships there in the future.
If bullets don't have eyes and a conflict breaks out, nobody wants to lose their life here. Casinos aren't only in Macau; they exist in other places too.
After Gao Jin finished speaking, he paused for a moment: "Actually, many wealthy businessmen have already set up gambling ships in international waters, and most of the gamblers have been attracted there."
Gao Jin was aware of the current situation in Haojiang, but he was helpless to do anything about it.
“Mr. Ni, why don’t you go back to Hong Kong Island first? Even if the Frankish Empire can send warships to Macau, it’s impossible for them to get involved in Hong Kong Island’s affairs.”
