People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

The convoy entered the port without hindrance and drove directly to the cargo ship. Then, one vehicle after another boarded the ship at full speed.

It didn't take long.

The entire convoy boarded the ship.

"Set sail," Ron ordered the captain without hesitation.

The captain stood on the deck, first glancing at the area not too far outside the harbor where gunshots and explosions had just continued, then looking further into the distance and listening to what sounded like countless sirens, before finally glancing at Ron, then without a word, heading straight to the bridge and sailing away.

"Damn! Earning ten million is terrifying!"

The boat captain cursed under his breath, trembling with fear.

In the cabin.

Ding Ze got out of the car, stretched, and then quickly walked to the deck, looking in the direction of the sirens.

It looks like the police cars won't arrive at the site of the previous battle for a while.

This is also normal.

After all, it's still dark, and the nearby police station has limited personnel, which will greatly reduce efficiency.

and.

In the United States, there's an unwritten rule regarding gang wars: don't immediately join the fight; wait until it's over before making arrests...

There is no other reason.

That's a gang war! Those police officers don't want to get involved; they could easily lose their lives... They only make so little money a month, who the hell would be so reckless as to go head-to-head with gangsters?

Ding Ze smiled and glanced at the time.

In the treasury he left behind in the basement of Trinity Church, there was a large bag of explosives.

There are eleven minutes left before the timer's countdown ends.

"You guys are busy now, so stop chasing me."

Ding Ze smiled and muttered to himself.

Chapter 81 Freemasonry, High Seas [6K]

"Do you know what happened to that group of people before?" Standing on the deck, Ding Ze took a drag of his cigarette and asked as he caught a glimpse of Abruzzi and Ron walking up to him.

Abruzzi and Ron exchanged a glance, and both immediately understood what Ding Ze meant.

“I didn’t recognize him, but I’ll definitely be able to find out if I make a few phone calls,” Ron replied, a little creeped out.

"Then I'll have to trouble you," Ding Ze said, exhaling a puff of smoke.

“I’ll contact them right away,” Ron said with a wry smile, then turned and left.

Abruzzi didn't leave. He silently took out a cigar from his pocket, lit it, and said, "Those people are quite powerful. They must be backed by a big family in New York. We probably can't do anything about it now."

Ding Ze shook his head slightly and said calmly, "Then let's wait a few days."

"..." Abruzzi was speechless for a moment, then decided to remind him, "The situation in New York is not simple. The Farzen family is in New York, and even with their size, they are only a second-tier family."

Ding Ze didn't care.

If you can't beat them fair and square, can't you resort to poisoning or sneak attacks?

How big can a family be, no matter how large?

We'll quietly kill a few today, and sneak up on a few more tomorrow...

It just takes a little more time.

They can eventually be wiped out.

“They tried to steal my things, so they have to pay the price,” Ding Ze said with a slight smile.

Abruzzi glanced at Ding Ze, and couldn't help but think of the dozen or so truckloads of treasure on the ship, feeling that his words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

This night.

First, the black man Sher stole things, then a dozen or so of his men, in league with outside families, tried to double-cross him... As the leader of those men, it would be a lie to say that Abruzzi wasn't worried at all.

I thought about it.

Abruzzi took several deep drags on his cigar, then forced himself to speak, "Boss, this whole thing is my fault..."

Ding Ze didn't let Abruchi finish speaking, "You can't judge a book by its cover. If you really want to argue, then it is your problem. But arguing about this is pointless."

There was a pause.

Ding Ze added, "This kind of thing should only happen once, and there shouldn't be a next time, otherwise I'll have to adjust my plans."

That's a bit of a euphemism.

To put it bluntly, Comrade Abruzzi, if you can't manage your men, I'm saying goodbye.

Abruzzi understood immediately, his heart tightened, and his expression became extremely solemn. "Okay, this kind of thing will never happen again, I promise."

Since Abruzzi had already said that, Ding Ze didn't bother to press the matter further. "After we get back this time, we need to set up the security company as soon as possible and then recruit more people."

“No problem,” Abruzzi nodded. “How many people do you plan to recruit?”

“Let’s recruit two hundred first. Priority will be given to veterans who have been on the battlefield, killed people, and are crazy enough… We should also recruit a few generals who graduated from West Point,” Ding Ze said after a moment’s thought. “Money is not a problem. As long as they have the courage and are not afraid of death, there will be plenty of money.”

Speaking of money.

Abruzzi couldn't help but look back at the trucks.

Ding Ze previously said that this treasure should be worth two or three hundred million...

In reality, this treasure is worth at least several billion...

“Boss,” Abruzzi withdrew his gaze, hesitated for a long time, but still couldn’t help asking, “the value of this treasure you’ve acquired is far greater than you previously stated…”

Although Abruzzi knew that Ding Ze wouldn't trust him completely, he still felt a little uncomfortable that Ding Ze was talking nonsense about such things so early in the game.

Ding Ze could guess why Abruzzi asked that question, and smiled, “If this treasure were all sold, it would fetch about 10 billion US dollars.”

Abruch: "!!!!"

The figure of 10 billion is truly frightening.

“But I don’t plan to sell them all. In fact, in the short term, I will only sell a small portion at most, making a few hundred million US dollars. I have other uses for the rest in the future. That’s why I told you the other day that they are worth two or three hundred million US dollars.”

What needs to be explained still needs to be explained.

Ding Ze said, "In my opinion, they have a greater value than selling them for money... We won't lack money once we take Miami, but these things, once sold, will be gone, and we might not even be able to get them back with money."

The reasoning behind this is not complicated.

Abruzzi understood, but still had some doubts: "Other uses, what do you mean?"

“Pave the way,” Ding Ze said calmly. “The end of the gang is basically death, unless we can pave a road to heaven so that no one can touch us.”

hum.

Abruzzi's mind jolted, and he instantly understood. "I get it, bribery!"

“You don’t know anything,” Ding Ze laughed and scolded. “But it’s not your fault. I didn’t explain it clearly. The treasure on the ship was hidden by some Freemason leaders about two hundred years ago.”

"Freemasons, you've heard of them?"

Hear the words.

Abruzzi was stunned, completely frozen in place as if struck by lightning!

Freemasonry...

Abruzzi had certainly heard of it!

That organization is said to have a history of nearly a thousand years, directly contributing to the birth of the United States. Many American presidents throughout history have been members of this organization, which now secretly controls the world...

Damn it!

Now look what's happened, we've stolen things from the Freemasons?

Despite not knowing much about Freemasonry, Abruzzi was certain that Freemasonry truly existed, and was indeed incredibly powerful.

therefore.

At this moment, Abruzzi was truly panicked, and he stammered, "Boss...you're joking, right!"

Abruzzi's reaction was quite interesting.

Seeing this, Ding Ze was amused and decisively shook his head with a smile, "Of course... no. This treasure does indeed belong to them."

Abruzzi: "o((⊙﹏⊙))o!!! What the fxxk, boss, you're really asking for it!!"

"There's no need to be so scared. The Freemasons are indeed very powerful, but on the one hand, it's been a long time. Due to wars and various struggles, they only knew that this treasure existed, but they lost the location of the treasure long ago."

"On the other hand, a hundred billion US dollars is not a lot of money for the Freemasons. They have always tried to remain mysterious and low-key, and they would not show up to cause trouble for us for such a small amount of money."

"Finally, and most importantly, I plan to slowly return this treasure to them... Of course, they have to give me something in return."

After listening.

Abruzzi was speechless, with only one thought in his mind at that moment.

This is insane! Absolutely insane!
