    For a moment, bodies from both sides fell to the ground.

    The leader of the Sand Scorpions fired his gun in quick succession, then suddenly staggered and fell to the ground, just four meters from Gao Yi.

    But quickly, the leader of the Sand Scorpions got up from the ground.

    On one knee, he raised his gun with one hand, and with the other, he detached a hand grenade from his chest.

    Tossing the grenade upward, he shouted loudly, “Falcon!”

    It seemed like a head-on collision was imminent, but Gao Yi didn’t understand why the ambushing Black Army hadn’t used more ruthless tactics and had instead simply sprung out shooting.

    Someone called Falcon shouted, and four people followed him, running swiftly along one side of the street.

    At the same time, a team emerged from an alley on the opposite side of the street.

    The two groups, almost face-to-face, engaged in a fierce shootout at a distance of less than thirty meters.

    Members of both parties fell almost simultaneously, exchanging fire, with neither side gaining an advantage.

    Insiders know the ropes, while outsiders follow the excitement; Gao Yi was completely clueless about the meaning of everything unfolding before his eyes.

    He had no idea what tactics were in play or the significance of this mutual struggle, but it just looked like both sides collided, opening fire against each other.

    The dead lay motionless, while the wounded writhed on the ground or continued to shoot while lying down.

    “They want the money!”

    Sean made a judgment, grabbed Gao Yi’s arm, and said with a tense expression, “Suleyman’s men have decided they want the money; we need to go.

    Follow me; get ready…

    Run!”

    Gao Yi was ready to run forward, but to his shock, he found Sean getting up to run backward.

    The road they had just come from was now to be tread again.

    Gao Yi was completely confused, but if Sean was pulling him to run, there was definitely no mistake in following.

    Now Gao Yi and Sean were near the Iron Wire on the end of a building wall, but as they started to run, Gao Yi was shocked to discover that Sean was intending to cut diagonally across the open street.

    Sean wasn’t slow, having already let go of Gao Yi’s arm, he zigzagged across the not overly wide street.

    Gao Yi was slightly behind Sean when the two dashed across the street and arrived at a closed shop door.

    Sean opened the door, used his body to keep the glass door from bouncing back and closing, waited for Gao Yi to enter, then immediately stepped aside and said, “Follow me!”

    Leaving the intensely fighting Sand Scorpion Mercenary Group behind, they effortlessly left the battlefield where the fiercest fighting was taking place.

    This was a women’s clothing store.

    Inside there was a corpse with a rifle clutched in its hands, and a terrified woman crouched in a corner beside it.

    Sean paid no mind to the terrified woman; he just swept the room with a glance, then pointed at the bloodstains on the ground and said to Gao Yi, “Keep up.”

    Gao Yi really couldn’t make any sense of Sean’s actions.

    “What do you mean?”

    Sean whispered, “Francisca’s people were lurking here.

    There were two people just now, but now there’s only one corpse.

    An injured person has run away, so there must be a back door.”

    Sean led the way, pushing open a closed wooden door, passing through a somewhat untidy bedroom, and then through a narrow corridor.

    After passing a small, clean kitchen, a metal door appeared ahead.

    Stepping out of the metal door, a body lay face down in the alley.

    Sean exhaled, then nodded and said, “Yes, this is the place.

    Let’s go!”

    The two navigated through the labyrinthine alleyways, and as the sound of gunfire grew fainter, Gao Yi couldn’t help but say, “Had you pre-arranged this?

    How did you know there was a back door, an escape route?”

    Sean pointed at his eyes and said, “I didn’t know, but I observe.

    This was one of the first places where the attack was launched, so it must be Francisca’s people.

    Francisca once controlled this city for a long time; her people would certainly know the terrain, and it’s quite normal for them to covertly operate this shop.

    Now, Francisca’s people are in a hurry to evacuate, so it’s no problem for us to take their route, since we are not Francisca’s enemies.”

    So that was the logic, quite straightforward.

    But it seemed very difficult to make these judgments amidst the chaos of battle.

    Sean stopped, looked back, and after surveying the area left and right, he said, “The situation has changed now.

    We just need to leave the center of the battlefield.

    No one is paying attention to us, no one cares about us, so let’s just wait here for a bit.”

    Gao Yi whispered, “But we just abandoned the Sand Scorpion and ran.

    Aren’t you afraid they’ll shoot us dead as we turn to flee?”

    “What use is it for us to stay?”

    “Uh, none…”

    “Then there is no problem with leaving.”

    “But Sand Scorpion came because of you.”

    “I said there was ten million dollars, and here it is.

    I told them they needed to snatch it, and they’ve snatched it.

    I didn’t lie to them or set them up.

    I’m not even the employer, so in all probability, they won’t shoot me.”

    Gao Yi paused, then said, “In all probability means you aren’t certain.”

    Sean nodded, “In this world, what is absolutely certain?

    A high probability is already pretty good.

    Alright, I’ve imparted another valuable lesson.

    Now…”

    With an open gesture, Sean said calmly, “We are now safe.”

    Something seemed off, but upon closer inspection, everything seemed quite right.

    Gao Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, “I just want to know what will happen to Sand Scorpion.

    Will they all die here?”

    Sean shook his head, “I don’t know.

    If they are willing to give up ten million, then they can certainly retreat.

    If not, it’ll depend on who’s tougher.

    Suleyman’s special forces didn’t attack immediately; that means their commander isn’t planning a funeral for Suleyman but wants to snatch the money at the end, which is why they suddenly appeared.”

    After finishing, Sean smiled at Gao Yi and said, “In any case, we are just bystanders in this fray.

    Whatever happens is none of my concern, but Sand Scorpion might have to ask me for help later on.

    If that’s the case…”

    “What would happen?”

    Sean smiled and said, “I’ll act as a middleman, help Sand Scorpion contact someone who can save them, and maybe get a gratitude fee.

    In that case, Sand Scorpion will have to thank me; the Mexicali Police Station will have to thank me; Francisca will have to thank me too.

    Everyone, except Suleyman, will have to thank me.”

    Gao Yi couldn’t quite grasp the key to understanding but after combing through it carefully, he suddenly said, “Only the police can save Sand Scorpion now!”

    Sean nodded and smiled, “Yes, Sand Scorpion gives a couple of million to the new chief of police, who then sends his men to pick up an easy success, and everyone benefits, so why not?”

    Gao Yi understood, he got it.

    “Your schemes are numerous; I’m genuinely impressed that you’ve thought this all through.

    But why aren’t we continuing to run and instead staying here?”

    Sean looked at his watch and said, “I’m waiting for Sand Scorpion to ask for help.

    If they really turn to me, I need to be a witness.

    You know, turncoating is all too common.

    My status and position are sufficient to be a middleman of weight, and as long as I’m present, I can guarantee the deal proceeds normally.”

    At that moment, Sean’s phone rang.

    He shrugged and said, “Sand Scorpion’s on the line, everything as I anticipated.”

    Sean took the call, and soon said, “I can get the Mexicali police to help you; if you pay the police five million, do you agree?

    If you agree, I’ll be the middleman and ensure that the Mexicali Police won’t double-cross you.”

    A few words settled the deal, Sean hung up the phone, then turned to Gao Yi and said, “See, in the hands of a capable Bee, things are this simple.

    Now do you understand my value?

    Join the Garden, I’ll serve you especially; think about it?”
