America's Greatest Villain: I Defeat Magic with Magic

After changing into a waiter's suit vest, Chen Yuan gave the man another $100 and told him to go find a corner to smoke and come back later.

Although spending $600 at once made Chen Yuan feel a little heartache, there's a saying in his motherland:

You can't catch a wolf if you're unwilling to sacrifice your cub.

Moreover, $600 only amounts to 6 villain points, and Chen Yuan has already accumulated 160 villain points, so he no longer needs to worry about living expenses for the time being.

After tidying his clothes, he imitated a waiter, carrying a tray of champagne, and knocked on the door of the private room where Lin Xiaoxiao was.

Chen Yuan pushed open the door and entered, and then saw two men sitting on the sofa talking.

The middle-aged man smiling obsequiously was none other than David Chen, who claimed to be an immigration lawyer.

The other brown-haired white man looked older, with slightly ruddy cheeks, and his eyes kept glancing at a corner of a private room not far away.

Chen Yuan then discovered that this luxury private room actually had its own bathroom, and its layout was similar to that of a hotel room.

There was also a bed not far away, and a wardrobe and wine cabinet were also provided.

Rich people really know how to enjoy life.

The two assumed Chen Yuan was just an ordinary waiter, so they didn't even give him a second glance.

David Chen chuckled softly:

"Don't rush, Pete. Girls always need a little more time to take a shower. Besides, as far as I know, she doesn't have a boyfriend yet."

As he spoke, David Chen gave a knowing smile.

The older white man named Pete also laughed:

"You Eastern girls certainly have a unique charm. Don't worry, that matter isn't difficult to handle. Tomorrow I'll use my connections in the IRS to help you resolve it."

David Chen's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately called out to Chen Yuandao:

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and pour us some wine!"

Chen Yuan immediately stepped forward, but suddenly his hand trembled, and the champagne in the tray spilled out. It landed squarely on David Chen's trousers.

WTF!

A standard American curse slipped out as David Chen wiped his pants and glared at Chen Yuan:

"Kid, even if you work here for a year, you still can't afford to pay for this bottle of wine and my pants!"

On the other side, Pete burst into laughter:

"That's just how you Easterners are, so clumsy and awkward."

As Pete laughed, a red information panel immediately popped up above his head:

[Name: Pete Campbell, 50 years old, State Representative]

[Recent criminal acts: Three days ago, at a high-end underground club in Las Vegas, he used a family trust fund to pay exorbitant "service fees" for two women from Taiwan, leaving behind credit card records and private videos.]

On the other side, David Chen's information panel reappeared, with new content:

[Target: David Chen (Chen Daqiang), 42 years old]

[Social Identity: Professional fraudster, pimp.]

[Recent criminal activity: Under scrutiny from the IRS, and desperate to launder the $3 million he recently defrauded, he is bribing state legislators. This illicit money has already been converted into cryptocurrency and is carried with him.]

Looking at the information above the two men's heads, Chen Yuan had an idea.

"Excuse me, sir, I'll get you a new bottle right away!"

To avoid being recognized, he ignored the still-angry David Chen and hurriedly left the private room.

David Chen continued muttering curses to himself, then glanced at the still-closed bathroom door and said impatiently:

"Why isn't that woman finished washing yet? I'll go check on her!"

Upon arriving at the door, Chen Yuan had already taken out his phone, while holding a black wallet in his other hand.

It was David Chen's wallet.

While splashing the liquor, Chen Yuan used his 1.2x speed to easily snatch the wallet from David Chen's already somewhat drunk state.

David Chen's driver's license was in his wallet, so after calling the IRS to report him, he accurately provided David Chen's identity information.

Although the IRS is known for its formidable fighting power, there are simply too many tax thieves in the United States, so under normal circumstances, it may take several days to get a result from a tip-off call like this.

However, according to the system information panel just now, David Chen has been targeted by the IRS, which is why he is in a hurry to bribe state legislators to launder his dirty money.

In other words, he is very likely already on the IRS's "expedited list".

Sure enough, a few minutes after hanging up the call, a private number called Chen Yuan's cell phone.

"Do you have evidence that David Chen is laundering money?"

A deep voice got straight to the point.

"That's right, sir. David Chen is currently at the Neptune's Trident Club in Long Beach, in box 109. He exchanged the money for cryptocurrency, and he has it with him right now."

The information provided by Chen Yuan was very accurate, so the voice on the other end of the phone became somewhat excited:

"The Trident of Poseidon Club? That's no ordinary place."

Seeing the hesitation on the other end of the phone, Chen Yuan quickly added:

"David Chen is in a hurry to launder this money, and I'm afraid that after tonight, those cryptocurrencies will be transferred to other places."

These words had the desired effect, and the man immediately made a decision:

"I hope you're not kidding me, kid... We'll be there in 10 minutes!"

Just as I hung up the phone, a gasp came from the private room behind me—it was Lin Xiaoxiao!

Chen Yuan frowned. He had originally planned to wait for the people from the State Taxation Bureau to arrive before going in, but Lin Xiaoxiao obviously wouldn't be able to wait that long.

Although it was her own fault, Chen Yuan decided to help her out of consideration for providing clues about her parents' deaths.

He turned around, pushed open the door, and entered VIP room number 109 again.

Then they saw David Chen standing at the bathroom door not far away, while Lin Xiaoxiao was dressed neatly and obviously did not look like she had just taken a shower.

David Chen grabbed Lin Xiaoxiao's arm and angrily said:

"You've been inside for over half an hour and you haven't even changed your clothes?"

Clearly, David Chen had planned for Lin Xiaoxiao to make elaborate preparations in order to please Senator Pete.

Lin Xiaoxiao, who had been frantically trying to break free from David Chen, immediately exclaimed with delight when she saw Chen Yuan pushing the door open and entering:

"Chen Yuan, you're here!"

"Chen Yuan?"

David Chen was slightly taken aback. He turned to look at the waiter standing at the door and then remembered that the other party was actually Lin Xiaoxiao's colleague at Rongdingge Restaurant!

What are you doing here?

However, Chen Yuan completely ignored David Chen's questioning and instead walked up to State Representative Pete, looking down at him and saying:

"Mr. Campbell, your wife already knows what you did in Las Vegas three days ago. If I were you, I would probably leave immediately and go home to comfort her."

Pete, who had been watching the commotion, suddenly looked surprised and uncertain upon hearing Chen Yuan's words, and instinctively retorted:

"Who are you? I don't know what you're talking about!"

Chen Yuan knew the other party wouldn't admit it easily, so he leaned close to their ear and whispered:

"You paid the service fee using your family trust fund, but I need to remind you that the entire process was filmed. So I advise you to be honest as soon as possible."

Chen Yuan's words immediately plunged Congressman Pete into a state of great panic.

They even knew about the use of the family trust fund, and those two damned Taiwanese women even filmed it?

They were already being very careful, and hadn't revealed their itinerary to anyone!

Every time he went out to have fun, he would leave behind his trusted confidants and act alone.

For example, even his office secretary doesn't know where he'll be spending the night tonight.

But why would this young man know about Las Vegas? Could he be sent by a political enemy?

At this thought, a brilliant idea flashed into Senator Pete's mind!

He turned to look at David Chen and Lin Xiaoxiao, who were not far away.

And then there's the assassin right in front of us.

All three are Chinese!

That's right, they're in cahoots!

Everything, including the last trip to Las Vegas and this time the hospitality at the Trident of Neptune Club.

It was all a pre-arranged trap!

Senator Pete looked up at the sky, on the verge of tears.

These Chinese people are really wicked!

Once this is exposed, not only will his political career be over, but his wife, who comes from a wealthy family, will also make him leave with nothing!

Congressman Pete finally couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up abruptly, his face no longer showing any signs of drunkenness.

"Excuse me, David, I just remembered I have some things to take care of at home, so we'll have to call it a night!"

With that, Congressman Pete strode open the door to the private room and walked away without looking back!

From the moment Chen Yuan walked up to Senator Pete and issued his warning until now, only a minute or two had passed, so much so that David Chen hadn't even had time to react.

Watching Senator Pete's departing figure, David Chen still held onto Lin Xiaoxiao's arm, looking completely bewildered.

"Now it's your turn, Mr. Chen!"

Chen Yuan slowly walked up to David Chen and coldly asked:

"Where is that money hidden?"
