Start in America, and receive three assassins every day.

Seeing this, Leon immediately understood that these people wouldn't stop until they had squeezed every last penny out of him!

So he said, "One billion dollars, that's all I have."

The beast nodded after hearing this.

Then, one of the assassins took out a laptop from his backpack and, after a series of operations, easily transferred the funds from multiple accounts that Leon had set up overseas.

Then, during the other party's explanation, several more sums of money were transferred out. Apart from some troublesome and fixed assets that could not be taken with them, such as houses, businesses, and shops, the rest were basically in hand.

A rough estimate puts it at over a billion US dollars.

Seeing this, Chen An was quite satisfied. With the previous amount added, he had gathered about one-third of the 10 billion yuan needed to upgrade the system, and the upgrade was not far off.

Meanwhile, Leon was waiting for Beast and the others to continue.

Suddenly, the roar of a propeller came from above. A CH-47 Chinook helicopter was circling overhead. As one of the fastest helicopters, it was fast enough to take Beast and the others away from Thai territory safely.

A rope more than 20 meters long was lowered down.

The three assassins grabbed the ropes one after another and, relying on the [Martial Saint] attribute, easily entered the helicopter and greeted the assassin in the pilot's seat.

The beast grabbed the end of the rope, smiled at Leon, and said, "Mayor Leon, you are a very kind person. Mr. Lu will thank you if he is watching from heaven. We will not stay any longer. If you want to go back, figure it out yourself."

As the words fell, the roar of the helicopter gradually faded into the distance.

A few minutes later, the surroundings became completely quiet.

Leon waited for a long time before raising his head. It was pitch black all around, and there wasn't a soul in sight. Fear showed on his face.

"Hey! Where am I?!" Leon shouted to the sky, but the only response he received was the chirping of cicadas and birds.

Leon suddenly saw a pair of eerie blue eyes emerge from the darkness. His expression changed drastically, and he quickly shut his mouth, afraid to shout any more, lest he attract even more ferocious animals.

With all that fat, he has absolutely no fighting ability.

.........

Inside the villa.

Chen An watched the beast and the others leave and then stopped paying attention.

This trip to Southeast Asia has come to a complete end, and the result was not bad. He has thoroughly squeezed that region dry. Even if there is still money to be made, it will not be as easy as it is now, so there is no need to make any more big moves.

Upgrading the system and adding more red entries is just a drop in the ocean. Let's see if Prince Takla has any surprises in store.

As a Saudi prince in the Middle East, this time we should at least get him seven billion US dollars; it absolutely cannot be less than the Southeast Asian operation.

Chen An hoped so.

Jingle Bell!

The phone rang.

Chen An picked up his phone and saw that it was Black Wolf calling, so he clicked to answer.

"Chen An, I'm sorry, I can't come back for the time being. I received news that the CIA is investigating me, and coming back now could cause me trouble. I'm also facing some problems on my end."

"So the get-together I promised you might have to wait a while."

"It's alright, do you need any help? We've known each other for so long, I'll give you a friend's price." Chen An smiled.

"No need, I can handle it," Black Wolf said.

"Okay, I'll contact you later."

hang up the phone.

Chen An opened the Dragon Kingdom's online channel to browse, wanting to see what kind of impact the priest had.

After watching for a while, Chen An looked surprised. He hadn't expected the commotion to be so big, but fortunately, he didn't know who had done it.

He doesn't have the power to go against a country right now, especially a superpower like China.

However, he noticed an account named Xu Lili.

The other party posted several comments in succession, which Chen An found very interesting.

I think this priest is definitely from China. I've spoken with him before; his Chinese is very fluent. Also, he's definitely not an individual but an organization.

[Everyone, I just received news that all those parks have actually disbanded. Looks like they were terrified of that priest. He's incredibly powerful. I'm really curious who that priest's boss is.]

[Those interested can join our Father's discussion group. It's for people who care about Father's affairs. My brother is in it too; he knows someone who seems to be Father's boss and is now the deputy group leader.]

Chen An was somewhat amused and exasperated. They really treated him like a priest; it had even escalated to the point of creating a group chat.

So, out of sheer curiosity, he added Xu Lili as a friend.

Ding Dong!

Xu Lili: May I ask who you are?

Chen An: I'm quite interested in the priest you mentioned and would like to join the group.

Xu Lili: No problem.

The next moment, Chen An saw that he had been added to a QQ group called the Priest Exchange Group.

I glanced through the chat, and the content was mostly speculation about whether the priests were an official organization operating in secret, as well as discussions about the ranking of the priests' members.

Lu Chen glanced at it, his expression shifting.

First place: Mr. K (likely the priest's boss!)

Many group members have witnessed his unerring marksmanship and exceptional agility, and he once achieved a record of taking on a hundred people single-handedly!

Second place: Code name: Beast (suspected to be the priest's second-in-command)

With his unique eyes, even more ruthless methods, and talkative nature, he has been seen by many group members throwing grenades wildly, earning him the nickname "Jade-Faced Grenade King"!

Third place: Code name Bat (suspected member of Mr. Priest)

With his quick reflexes, many group members witnessed him easily dodging bullets and even climbing buildings with his bare hands, earning him the nickname "China's Spider-Man"!

......

Looking at these people's rankings, Chen An found it quite interesting. It seemed that the title of "Priest" could still be used for a while.

After watching for a while, Chen An stopped paying attention and turned his gaze back to Chen Long.

As the leader of Hydra, he is currently in a conference room talking with Tian Gang in New York and other Hydra leaders in other cities.

Seeing this, Chen An had a sudden thought and used his teleportation ability to switch places with a nearby assassin, appearing in the conference room.

Upon seeing this, Chenlong quickly stood up.

Even Tian Gang and the others on the screen respectfully greeted, "Sir!"

"You two continue talking, I'll listen," Chen An said, sitting down next to Chen Long.

"Yes, sir."

The conversation among the group mainly revolved around the development of Hydra. Chen An then noticed a problem: although Hydra in Los Angeles was considered its headquarters...

But they don't have their own base.

It's just one area, so many things aren't easy to do.

At this moment, he also realized that it wouldn't do for so many suicide soldiers to not have a fixed base. Even if he were discovered or pursued later, this place would not be able to withstand attacks such as artillery bombardment.

Setting up a base would serve as both a safeguard and a transit point, but the location still needs to be considered. Los Angeles is definitely not an option, since the base needs to be large enough that the FBI and CIA would find out before construction even begins!
