With a loud crash, the two huge iron blocks on the top and bottom of the device closed together, but the middle-aged man disappeared at the same time.

On the screen, an image of a man in a bank vault appeared, with a full 300 million euros in front of him.

Cao Gui and Beth exchanged a glance. Just as they had expected, given their reaction speed, magic was of no interest to them.

Actually, the metal blocks underfoot were hollow and could be opened with a mechanism. The moment the two large metal blocks closed, the man in the white suit had already fallen off the stage.

However, these things happened too fast, exceeding the reaction speed of the normal human eye.

"These magicians are really good at deceiving people," Gwen muttered.

"Isn't that how all magic tricks are?" Cao Gui laughed.

"This is an entertainment activity where people willingly spend money to be scammed."

But before Cao Gui could finish speaking, the middle-aged man in a white suit on the screen, under the direction of four magicians, placed a signed playing card and the ticket for the show in the center of the 300 million yuan banknote.

Then a switch was pressed, and as the fan turned, the three million euros in banknotes were sucked into the ventilation duct.

Before long, the sound of fans turning could be heard from above the venue, and then countless banknotes began to fall, eliciting gasps from the audience.

Cao Gui: "..."

I take back what I just said. This magic show is free; in fact, it gives money to the audience.

Cao Gui and his companion remained seated. The performance was nearing its end; the magicians had already left, but the audience was still picking up money and couldn't leave until the magicians quieted down.

"300 million euros... It seems this magician isn't in it for the money."

Gwen exclaimed in surprise, "This amount of money, though not a lot, is more than enough to ensure a comfortable life."

"Perhaps they have ideals?"

Cao Gui laughed and said that there seemed to be an organization called the Heavenly Eye in the original work, but Cao Gui never paid attention to the plot when watching movies, he just wanted to enjoy the show...

Well, the focus of this movie isn't the plot, so Cao Gui didn't pay attention to it either.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Gwen suddenly nudged Cao Gui, rubbing her hands together excitedly.

"Dr. Betty and her boyfriend are gone. Let's hurry and follow them."

"Hmm?" Cao Gui perked up, immediately putting aside the Astounding Thieves. He was more concerned about the Elf Princess than the Astounding Thieves.

"Let's go, let's hurry over there." Cao Gui chuckled, equally excited.

"Wait a minute," Gwen said quickly. "I do carry a stick with me, but what about the bag?"

"I carry it with me at all times."

Cao Gui chuckled and pulled a yellow snakeskin bag from behind his back, with three large characters on it: "Golden Fertilizer!"

As a citizen of the Great Celestial Empire, it's perfectly reasonable for me to carry a sack of fertilizer with me, right?

After all, it makes perfect sense for us to grow vegetables!

"Hehehe, Cao, you're so bad."

"Hehehe, darling, you too."

……

The next day, the weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly; the world was so beautiful.

At a high school in Midtown New York, students were surprised to find a bruised and battered pig-headed man on their campus.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that he was an elite teacher at the school, and also the boyfriend of Betty, the newly arrived beautiful PhD.

Fortunately, this is New York, where everyone is worldly-wise and has very strong nerves; otherwise, the moment the pig-headed man appeared, a bullet might have been fired.

Campbell was devastated by the situation.

Last night, he was driving his BMW, singing and chatting with his girlfriend, when he was suddenly stopped.

He didn't even give him a chance to speak before putting a sack over his head and beating him mercilessly, kicking only his face until it swelled up like a pig's head.

My girlfriend was stunned!

During this period, he shouldn't see anyone; he should ask for leave and go home to rest.

Meanwhile, Cao Gui and Gwen, in high spirits, strolled hand in hand through the campus, enjoying the wonderful campus life.

Amidst laughter and conversation, we unknowingly arrived at the back hill of the school.

However, two figures walked towards them, a man and a woman, both dressed in black suits.

The man was not tall, had a white stubble on his face, and was of average appearance. If he weren't wearing a uniform and had a softer look in his eyes, he would have looked somewhat naive and cute.

Cao Gui raised an eyebrow. If he remembered correctly, this was indeed the Hulk.

Chapter 227 Catherine asked me to say hello to you

Several hours earlier, at the FBI headquarters in New York.

A bank robbery committed in broad daylight across borders is considered a transnational crime and was directly taken over by the FBI.

However, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse dared to rob a bank in front of so many people, so they must have had their reasons.

Their most important reliance, of course, was evidence; there was no evidence to prove that they had robbed the banks in Paris.

The money isn't in their hands, it's in the hands of all the audience. If anyone actually believes that these four magicians robbed a bank across the Atlantic... then he can pack his bags and get lost.

Even a fool knows that magicians are liars; the FBI wouldn't hire someone so stupid.

In addition, their teams helped them with public relations and hired lawyers, so the FBI couldn't do anything to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Just as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse had predicted, they emerged completely from FBI headquarters in less than half a day.

"Detective Rhodes, it seems our case has reached a deadlock."

A blonde beauty spoke slowly, leaning against the huge observation window of the interrogation room, her arms crossed, exuding elegance.

Agent Dylan Rhodes, who looks just like Dr. Banner, is having a headache. This woman is an Interpol agent sent by France. He doesn't like her, but he has no choice but to accept her.

France had no choice but to send troops. Their own bank had been robbed in full view of the public, and by the United States, just across the Atlantic. This was unacceptable. If they didn't take action soon, the Yellow Vests would take to the streets.

You should know that although they like to surrender when dealing with foreign countries, they are incredibly powerful when it comes to dealing with government officials like us.

Therefore, Alma Dre was sent to New York as an Interpol agent to handle this case.

"Dylan, and Agent Dray." A man ran over, and Dylan glanced at him; it was his second-in-command.

They were actually partners, but Dylan had a strong personality and wasn't very ambitious, so he was naturally suppressed and became like a tool.

“I looked up the audience at the time, and besides most ordinary people, there was a person named Thaddeus who was best at revealing magic tricks.”

“Sounds good. Perhaps we can make contact with him.” Alma nodded, her smooth golden hair swaying gently.

“Contact him for me right away,” Dylan said.

"I've made contact," the deputy said quickly.

"He invited you to his lunch, and he also sent me a video of last night's magic show."

Upon hearing this, Dylan was taken aback: "Let's go take a look."

Led by his deputy, the three of them watched the video of last night's performance, which was actually secretly filmed by the person who revealed the magic trick.

After watching, the three men had different expressions. The deputy didn't care, since Dylan had taken over the case anyway. Dylan looked surprised, as there was a fifth magician on the scene, and this magician seemed to be quite skilled.

Alma was somewhat stunned: "So it was him..."

"What? Agent Dray, do you know anyone here?" Dylan asked suspiciously.

“Yes.” Alma nodded:

“I have a friend who told me that if I had any trouble in Los Angeles, I could contact him, but I never expected to see him in New York.”

“Let’s go meet this guy first,” Dylan decided. “He happens to be a magician too. I’d like to see what tricks these magicians can pull off.”

“Uh… Dylan,” the second-in-command hesitated.

“I checked that person’s identity. He’s not a magician, but a student.”

"What? A student?" Alma was immediately shocked, then her expression turned strange. She wanted to laugh, but hesitated and didn't.

“Hey, ma’am, you’re a French lady, don’t be so rude,” Dylan said irritably.

"But let's go. The students are perfect; they'll be easier to deal with."

……

Midtown High School, behind the small woods.

"The magic trick last night?" Cao Gui was somewhat surprised after hearing the purpose of their visit. What does this have to do with me?

"Kid, you were involved in the magic show last night too." Dylan's tone was somewhat harsh.

"You'd better explain everything clearly... Huh? What is it?"

Hearing his words, Cao Gui rolled his eyes and shoved his FBI ID in his face.

"Uh..." Dylan was speechless after seeing the ID photo. He hadn't expected that this student was actually his colleague.

"Agent Rhodes, what were you about to say?" Cao Gui narrowed his eyes, his tone equally unfriendly.

"Uh... well, hello." Rhodes greeted him awkwardly.

"Ahem, hello, Cao, I'm Alma." The blonde policewoman next to her greeted her, though in a rather intimate way.

Gwen's eyes instantly turned dangerous as she stood to the side. Was this woman planning to use her beauty to seduce him?

Cao Gui rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless. Even if you're very pretty, you can't try to get close to me in front of my boyfriend.

But the next second, Cao Gui would think differently.

"Catherine asked me to say hello to you."

Policewoman Alma smiled. She really hadn't expected that the perfect man Catherine had described was actually a student. She thought, "Let's see how she flaunts herself in front of me now. I'll make her laugh in Paris later."

Cao Gui: "..."

I feel a chill down my back.

Who is Catherine?
