From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

Chapter 94 I Can Explain

"No, you don't have experience yet—"

Livia was about to refuse when Ye Xiao's voice came from behind her.

"It's alright, we just happen to need an extra helper."

"what?"

Livia turned around nervously and saw Ye Xiao, who was about to leave, turn around.

Their eyes met, and she suddenly felt a little flustered, but she didn't dare to refuse Ye Xiao, so she could only purse her lips and agree.

Arius was completely dumbfounded when he saw this.

"Relax, young people need opportunities to train too, don't they?"

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Our target this time is the Green Tree Bar in the dock area. I'll let you know the specific time later."

"Let's go back first."

After saying that, Ye Xiao smiled slightly at everyone, and then took Livia's hand and left in a very natural and open manner.

Oh my god!

Arius stared in disbelief at the scene before him, his eyes glazed over.

Upon realizing what had happened, he was so angry that his face contorted in rage.

"Father!"

"Calm down, Arios, these are necessary sacrifices."

"He's the only one who knows the situation here best right now, so we can only rely on him for the time being."

calm?

What makes him calm?

Arius was furious and slammed his fist on the table, drawing the attention of everyone around him.

Ye Xiao is such a bastard, he's really too arrogant.

This is tantamount to slapping them in the face!

The insult to his faith, coupled with the fact that the object of his affections had been defiled, drove Arius almost mad with rage.

He secretly vowed to himself that he would find a chance to teach Ye Xiao a lesson.

Green Tree Bar, right?

Since Ye Xiao is so arrogant, why give him a chance?

Arius decided to go ahead and investigate the clues, and to get rid of that bastard Ye Xiao.

Late at night, while Ye Xiao was studying a foreign language with Livia.

Arius drove to the Green Tree Bar.

He first walked around the area to make sure he knew what was going on.

He then parked the car at the entrance and carefully observed everyone coming in and out.

With his strong willpower and intense anger, Arius stared for hours, his eyes bloodshot.

He wanted to take advantage of Ye Xiao's obsession with women to secretly improve himself and amaze everyone!

Until there were hardly any pedestrians on the street, only the lonely streetlights remained.

A strong sense of drowsiness almost overwhelmed Arios.

But the thought that Ye Xiao might be doing something with Livia right now made him instantly excited.

"Knock knock knock".

However, at that moment, someone knocked on the car door, which startled Arius.

"W-who are you?"

"Sir, we are police officers. You've been parked here for a long time. What's wrong?"

Arius, who had just arrived in America and was not yet familiar with the local customs and culture, instinctively opened the car window.

"Sorry, I just wanted to rest here for a while —"

However, before he could explain, he saw a black hand suddenly reach in and tightly cover his mouth, while the other hand held a sharp knife against his throat.

"Damn it, hand over all your money right now!"

Suddenly, a pair of gleaming white teeth appeared in the darkness outside the window. It was a dark-skinned African American man whose bright eyes gleamed with a greedy, fierce light.

Arius, who was new to the area, was completely bewildered.

He was an elite graduate of a seminary and had never experienced such a simple street robbery.

The knife was now pressed against his throat. The black man was trembling and agitated, and there was a faint stench emanating from him.

Arius was certain that this guy was a drug addict who had gotten himself into a drug slump and was trying to make some money.

Damn it, even these bastards are bullying me, aren't they?

Arius was furious and wanted to fight him to the death.

But reason told him that acting rashly would only lead to losses.

Arius then patiently decided to reason with the other party.

"Sir, I am a pastor and don't have much money. Besides, what you are doing is wrong."

"I'm fucking swearing to you!"

The black guy slapped Arius hard, making him see stars.

"Hurry up and pay me, or I'll stab you to death!"

At that moment, Arius deeply understood what it meant for the weapon of criticism to be inferior to the criticism of weapons.

Although he was a priest and of noble status, the other man had a knife in his hand!

What use is a dead pastor?

Furious and terrified, Arios could only tremble as he pulled out his wallet.

"Is this...is this okay?"

The black man took the wallet and weighed it in his hand. Seeing that it contained more than a dozen hundred-dollar bills, he became even angrier and slapped Arios twice more.

"You son of a bitch! You dare lie to me and say you have no money?"

"Pooh!"

The black guy, still angry, spat out a mouthful of phlegm before finally leaving the scene satisfied.

What the hell is this?!

Arius angrily slammed his fist on the car window, almost going crazy.

Arius had only been in America for two days, and he had already endured almost all the hardships he hadn't experienced in over twenty years.

He just got fucked by the black guy, while Ye Xiao is getting fucked by Livia.

We're all foreigners, so why should we be treated this way?

After some time, while Arius was still filled with grief and indignation, a deep voice came from outside the carriage again.

"Don't move, sir, we are the Seattle Police Department."

Damn it, is this never going to end?!

I'll fight you bastards to the death!

Arius angrily grabbed the Bible beside him and turned to throw it at the man.

However, after he saw the dark muzzle of the gun in front of him and the terrified eyes under the peaked cap...

Arius was stunned again.

My God!

Are they really American police officers, and they even have guns?

The police officers outside the car were also stunned.

They were also there to keep watch, and seeing that Arius was still there, they sensed something was wrong, so they came over to check.

Unexpectedly, he picked up an unidentified object, intending to attack them!

This is troublesome.

"I... I can explain—"

"Danger!"

Before Arius could finish speaking, the policeman, relying on his well-trained muscle memory, instinctively pulled the trigger.

Suddenly, loud gunshots shattered the quiet of the street.

The following morning, at the University of Washington Medical Center.

Upon hearing that Arius had been shot, Livia, who had worked hard all night, rushed over despite her still aching body.

Outside Arius's ward, several people in police uniforms stopped her.

"Madam, you can't just wander in here."

"Excuse me, I'm looking for Arius."

Several police officers frowned in confusion: "Are you his relative? Or his lawyer?"

"I, I————"

Livia hesitated for a moment: "I'm his sister."

"Is there any proof?"

prove?

"Is it okay if I don't have it with me for now?"

Livia asked somewhat hesitantly.

"Excuse me, ma'am, please leave."

Livia was stunned, not expecting the rules to be so strict, and was momentarily at a loss.

What should we do now?

If they were to learn of Arius's identity, the Church's hard-won plans would all be ruined.

Just as Livia was feeling uneasy, a familiar voice came from behind her.

"Dirk, it's okay, I'll vouch for you."

Livia turned around and saw that her already bad expression became even worse.

"Oh, Ye, why didn't you say you were coming here sooner?"

Upon seeing Ye Xiao, Officer Decker's serious expression instantly transformed into a kind smile.

He looked at Livia with a meaningful gaze, then at Ye Xiao, and raised an eyebrow as he spoke.

"Your new girlfriend?"

I guess so, I'm working on it.

Ye Xiao said that, but his hands naturally pulled Livia into his arms.

"You've got to eat well again, kid."

Dirk patted Ye Xiao on the shoulder: "Alright, you guys hurry up and go in."

Upon entering the ward, Arius, whose shoulder was wrapped in bandages, sat up in surprise.

"Livia, you, what brings you here?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, seeing Ye Xiao with his arm around Livia's shoulder, Arius's joyful heart sank into despair.

Besides him, there was Guy and another person dressed in civilian clothes in the ward.

Upon seeing Ye Xiao and Livia, Guy immediately frowned.

"Ye, what brings you here? And why did you bring someone with you?"

"It's nothing, I just heard my brother-in-law was shot."

Ye Xiao felt no burden whatsoever when he lied.

But Livia is different.

Tormented by her conscience, she could only remain silent, stiffening her body, and reluctantly pretend to be Ye Xiao's new girlfriend.

"Your brother-in-law?"

Guy looked at Livia, then at Arius, and seemed to understand something.

He glared angrily at Ye Xiao and said with dissatisfaction.

"Ye, did you leak information to him?"

"Did you know what? This kid was actually camped out outside the Green Tree Bar last night, and he even got robbed by a homeless guy passing by. He almost alerted the thief!"

"We thought he was a gang lookout, and he even tried to assault the police. He was almost shot dead by the patrol officers, but luckily the bullet only hit his shoulder."

Hearing these words, Livia's expression grew increasingly surprised, while Arius's face grew paler and paler.

But Ye Xiao wasn't surprised at all.

Or rather, he had long anticipated that Arius, that hothead, would go there.

Is that so?

Ye Xiao looked at Arius seriously.

"Yes, that's right—"

Arius responded listlessly.

"Sorry, Guy, it was my fault for interfering."

Ye Xiao shook his head and explained sincerely, "I originally planned to take him with me to infiltrate and gather information, but I didn't expect him to be so excited and run off ahead of time."

"Oh?"

Guy looked somewhat suspicious: "Ye, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"How could that be?"

Ye Xiao chuckled and casually patted Livia's plump, round buttocks: "Don't you know where my new girlfriend and her brother are from?"

"1

'

Upon hearing this, Livia's heart skipped a beat; she almost thought Ye Xiao was going to sell them out.

"The Latin Peninsula? You mean—"

Guy murmured for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "The Latin gang? Ye, you're a genius!"

With the initial wave of immigration, the Latin Mafia from Sicily made a name for themselves in America in the last century, only to be ultimately destroyed by the IRS.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Guy immediately realized what was going on.

Ye Xiao intends to use their Latin identity to get close to those gangs.

He really is a good person!

"Ye, if that's the case, why didn't you tell me sooner!"

"I really didn't expect him to cause such a big problem, I'm so sorry."

"It's alright, in that case we won't bother you any longer."

Guy stood up, exchanged a few pleasantries with Ye Xiao, and then turned back to Arios with a serious expression, giving him instructions.

"Young man, let me give you a piece of advice."

"America isn't Latin America. If you want to survive here, you'll have to listen to Ye's instructions, understand?!"

Upon hearing this, Arius, who was already injured, felt a burning pain in both the gun barrel and his chest.

Damn it!

Wasn't he injured because he listened to Ye Xiao?

That bastard didn't say it was this dangerous!

But under Guy's intimidation, Arius could only lower his head dejectedly and say in a deep voice, "I understand."

The tense atmosphere in the ward only eased after Guy and the others left.

"Arios, you were too impulsive!"

Livia looked at Arius with a mixture of pity and dissatisfaction.

She understood perfectly well that Arius had almost ruined everyone's plans simply to prove himself.

"I admit I made a mistake, I'm sorry."

Arius apologized sincerely, but quickly looked up excitedly at Ye Xiao and said proudly.

"However, I did see some people dressed as gangsters entering the bar through the back door last night."

"Is there anything else?"

Ye Xiao suddenly asked, "Tell us something we don't know."

"this----"

All the hard work of the night was negated by Ye Xiao, leaving the proud and arrogant Arius both angry and frustrated.

"Never mind, you should get some rest."

Ye Xiao shook his head helplessly, then pulled Livia around and prepared to leave.

"Wait, where are you going?"

Arius, seeing this, quickly asked.

"Where else can we go? Of course, we should go back, prepare, and then we can start our operation."

Ye Xiao said matter-of-factly.

But in Arius's eyes, his appearance was nothing short of a provocation.

Should we begin?

Are they planning to slack off on me while I'm injured?

Realizing the danger, Arius, ignoring his injured shoulder, exclaimed, "I'm going too!"

"Arius, stop fooling around."

Livia said seriously, "This is not child's play, it's very dangerous, and you're injured, aren't you?"

"It's alright, it's nothing to worry about with just a minor injury."

Arius retorted angrily, "You need Latins, don't you? I've had dealings with the Mafia in Rome; I know more about these things than you do!"

"oh?"

Ye Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow night."

Upon hearing this, Livia's heart tightened, wondering if Ye Xiao intended to kill Arius.

"leaf!"

She secretly tightened her grip on Ye Xiao's hand, turned her head, and gave him a pleading look: "Please, don't stoop to his level, okay?"

"What are you talking about?"

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "We need an expert like Arius, don't we?"

Arius was surprised that Ye Xiao would support him. He glanced at him in astonishment, then showed a disdainful expression.

Sure enough, all that effort he put into criticizing me was just a ploy to get me to do his work.

With this in mind, Arius felt even more confident.

"Of course! As long as I'm here, we'll definitely find the clues!"
