Chapter 69 Move, or I'll shoot you!"
After three hours of driving, Zinan finally arrived at a very remote location. He looked left and right, then stopped the car on the shoulder of the road. He didn't have much hope; he just wanted someone to come pick him up quickly.
It wasn't easy for Zinan to enter the Golden Snake territory. Besides the long journey, getting to the core area wouldn't be easy either. Cancri had said someone would come to pick him up, and he would have to wait on the shoulder of the road at the border between the Golden Snake territory and the outer area.
Zinan immediately leaned back; the long drive had made him tired. He took a deep breath and looked straight ahead, seeing a vast forest with incredibly thick fog. It was a gloomy place, but that was where he had to go now.
He took another deep breath and smiled and tilted his head. Camilla still had her eyes closed; he had deliberately kept her asleep so she wouldn't feel the effects on his body. He couldn't touch Camilla; he didn't want to break his own vow.
Zinan closed his eyes for a moment, thinking that perhaps waiting in a state of sleep would be better. Not only did time pass quickly, but he also got a moment to rest. Remembering what happened two days ago, he quickly contacted Cancri and told him if he needed to meet him. He wanted Camilla back, and he also wanted to see that beautiful woman happy.
Zinan opened his eyes again and heard the sound of a car approaching from the opposite direction. He sat up straight, swallowing hard.
Tok ...
Tok ...
Tok ...
Someone knocked on the car window next to the driver's side. Zinan, inside the car, steeled himself; no one would enter the Golden Snake border area without warning.
Zinan immediately opened the car window and met the eyes of a blonde woman. Her gaze was level, her gaze cold, and her face expressionless.
"I'm Fedora Gliese Scaled, here to pick you up, Mr. Xrezone."
"Do I have to get in your car?" Zinan asked.
Fedora nodded, and the woman took a step back to let Zinan open the car door.
Zinan, understanding Fedora's intentions, immediately did what he had to do. He got out of the car and took Camilla with him. He was relieved; he would soon return Camilla to her family.
Once everything was done, Zinan quickly followed Fedora. They headed to the car Fedora had driven and got in.
"You're quite wise, I admire you."
Zinan, who had just adjusted his position while holding Camilla in his lap, immediately looked at Fedora. He smiled, feeling that his good intentions were truly well-received.
Fedora, who didn't want to talk much, immediately started the car. They entered the forest, and the atmosphere only grew more tense.
The forest was completely shrouded in thick fog; Zinan couldn't even see his surroundings due to the thickness of the mist. He wondered how the people who sheltered under the Golden Snake could navigate through the fog so easily.
Zinan felt like there were many mysteries he would never solve. He had been studying all the territories of the other eight great families, but this was the first time he had entered such a confusing mafia territory.
The territory didn't have any special guards at the borders, and he had heard that the Golden Snake used a different security system, and only core members could freely enter and exit the core area.
Zinan stared at Fedora for a moment. She looked so calm, her eyes fixed straight ahead as if observing the road.
"Fedora, can you see in this thick fog?" Zinan asked. Honestly, he was curious.
Fedora, who was asked the question, nodded, not intending to say much. The woman then removed the eyepatch from her left eye, glanced at Zinan, and revealed her left eye.
Zinan, who met Fedora's gaze, was quite shocked. That eye was no ordinary eye. Only the Golden Snake knew what it was called—an electronic eye or whatever it was called.
"Ah... okay, I understand." Zinan then looked at Camilla, not wanting to disturb Cancri's subordinate any longer. The woman was truly frightening, and he was certain that Fedora was no ordinary figure in the Golden Snake mafia organization. From the woman's full name, Zinan could already deduce that there were even more dangerous individuals within the Golden Snake.
...
While Zinan was holding an important meeting with Cancri, Danieru was driving to a large and well-known location.
Danieru had just arrived at 3355 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109, United States. He had come to meet with Derin, one of Jay's trusted men, and Danieru was also confident that Derin would be the one to help him meet Jay or Cancri directly.
The man stopped his car in the parking lot, took a deep breath, and hoped that he would be able to find Derin easily. But... he was certain that meeting Derin wouldn't be that easy, and he had already prepared his resolve to meet Derin.
The man opened the car door, got out, and looked around. It was quite crowded, and he was once again sure that Derin was busy with various activities.
He walked towards one of the buildings, certain it was where Derin was. He could see several men in sunglasses and matching suits standing guard. He approached one of them, hoping to get an answer.
However, Danieru immediately stopped walking. He saw Derin had just exited the building and seemed to be in a bit of a hurry.
Danieru, not wanting to miss the opportunity, immediately stepped towards Derin. He approached the man and grabbed his arm to stop him.
"Don't move, if you mess around, this hot lead will be lodged in your head," someone said.
Danieru swallowed hard and immediately raised his hands, hoping nothing bad would happen to him. The man seemed resigned to the situation; as long as he didn't die, that was fine.
"Derin, I need to talk to you." Danieru got straight to the point; he couldn't waste any more time.
Derin, hearing Danieru's request, didn't seem too pleased. The man averted his gaze and studied Danieru for a moment.
"I need your help to meet the leader of the Golden Snakes."
Derin, hearing Danieru's request, could only sigh wearily. He then crossed his arms and glanced at Danieru from head to toe.
"Please," Danieru said.
"I can't. It's best not to even think about coming in after you leave. If this is Camilla's problem... you'd better fight it yourself. I'm not interested in interfering in other people's love affairs or problems." Derin immediately walked away, as did his guards.
Danieru immediately moved, standing back in front of Derin with his arms outstretched. The man then prostrated himself before Derin, earnestly begging Derin to help him.
"Move!" shouted one of Derin's guards.
"Derin, I beg you..."
"Move, or I'll shoot you!"
"Derin, just this once... I'm really begging you."
Derin immediately grabbed the gun in his guard's hand and aimed it at Danieru's shoulder.
Bang...
“A-ahh...”
Derin, who had launched his attack, immediately handed the gun to the guard and left, leaving Danieru still reeling in pain.
The people around him chose to ignore it; they seemed accustomed to such incidents.
Danieru, not wanting to miss the opportunity, quickly got up and stepped back to block Derin's path.
Unable to resist, Derin immediately kicked Danieru in the calf. “Don't let me kill you today!”
Danieru, who had just been attacked and heard Derin's words, remained silent. He stood trembling, his body aching so badly he could barely stand.
“Sir, we're too late,” one of Derin's guards informed him that they were already too late.
Derin immediately walked away, while Danieru remained silent.
“Derin... tell me I love Camilla!” Danieru exclaimed.
Derin, who heard this, was completely untouched, he left with his subordinates and left the place.
