Chapter 2627: Chapter 2628: Entering the Central District
Faced with the sharp-tongued Xiao Sha, Xue An couldn’t help but smile wryly and reached out to pinch her nose.
"I didn’t expect your little brain to work so well. That’s right, I called you out to have you kill someone, but not now!"
"Then when?"
"Tomorrow evening, you’ll have something to do then!"
The day passed in the blink of an eye. As night fell the following day, Xue An once again led his group to find Griffin.
When they arrived outside the bar, Xue An couldn’t help but smile.
"They move fast!"
In just one day, the wall destroyed by Xue An had been rebuilt.
But with a snap of his fingers, the wall, still exuding a damp aura, vanished once again.
Inside, Griffin watched in shock at everything happening until Xue An appeared before him, and he regained his composure.
"M-Master, you’re here!" Griffin said with a forced smile.
Xue An shrugged, "Sorry, I’m not used to climbing up from the smoky, filthy first floor of yours, so I had to do this. I hope you don’t mind!"
"Of course not, it’s just a wall, how could I mind!" Griffin replied with an awkward laugh.
"Good, it seems you’ve solved the problem." Xue An looked at Griffin, who was freshly tidy and wearing evening attire, and said plainly.
"I’m fortunate not to have failed in my duty. After a day of strenuous effort, I finally got an invitation to the charity gala, but you and your men will have to temporarily disguise yourselves as my subordinates!"
Saying this, Griffin took out an extremely luxurious invitation from his chest and placed it on the table.
Xue An didn’t even look at it, just nodded, "Alright, in that case, we shouldn’t delay any longer, let’s get moving!"
Moments later, a brand-new Mercedes convoy slowly drove out from behind the bar, racing towards the wealthy district.
Naturally, Xue An sat in the same car as Griffin, only to hear him explain.
"To complete the task Master assigned, I hardly had any rest today. I went everywhere, pulling strings, and finally got a recommendation from a bigwig to secure this invitation."
Xue An smiled, "You’re also the boss of New York’s underground world, and yet you have to go to so much trouble for an invitation?"
"Ah, you don’t understand. On the surface, I seem gloriously impressive as a boss, but in the eyes of those bigwigs, I’m just like a dog. When they need me, they give me a small benefit to do some disgraceful dirty work. Once they’re done using me, they don’t even glance at me."
Griffin complained, his face filled with discontent, clearly dissatisfied with his circumstances.
Xue An turned to look at the dilapidated street flashing by outside the window, his tone indifferent, "Don’t worry, this situation won’t last long!"
Griffin shuddered all over, wanting to say something but didn’t dare to ask, ultimately closing his mouth in reverence.
Soon, the scene outside the car window became increasingly prosperous.
When they arrived at a toll station, the convoy slowly stopped, and a heavily armed, well-equipped squad approached for a thorough inspection.
Although it was said to be an inspection, their actions were very rough, even checking the tires thoroughly with instruments.
Griffin had no choice but to endure it helplessly and then looked at Xue An with a pleading gaze.
Of course, Xue An understood what he meant, so he simply smiled faintly and ignored these fierce soldiers.
But just at that moment, a commotion broke out in the car behind them.
"Get out of the car immediately, I suspect you are a criminal!" a soldier shouted.
Then the surrounding soldiers immediately charged over, pointing their guns at the vehicle.
The muzzles began to flicker with a dangerous blue light, clearly rapidly charging.
This sudden scene startled Griffin, and he immediately jumped out of the car, waving his hands and shouting.
"What’s going on? Wait, don’t act!"
"Griffin, I suspect you are harboring a criminal!" the captain of the inspection squad said with a deep voice.
Griffin was taken aback, and then a fury surged in his heart because he thought he was really exposed.
But at that moment, Xiao Sha nonchalantly got out of the car, indifferently saying.
"You’re talking nonsense. Your man tried to grope me as soon as he got in, slapping him is not excessive!"
"You..." The captain was left speechless and even more furious at heart.
He had been stationed here for so long and had never suffered such a loss.
He naturally didn’t dare to inspect the cars of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but he had no qualms about someone like Griffin.
After all, in his eyes, even if Griffin was a kingpin, he was still just a small character.
His subordinate apparently thought this woman was pretty, and tried to take advantage, not expecting her to have such a fiery temper and directly strike him.
"Captain Garcia, don’t be angry, this is a distant niece of mine, she just arrived today and doesn’t know the rules, you see..."
As Griffin spoke, he tried to stuff an envelope into Garcia’s hand.
But Garcia flung the envelope away and said coldly, "Griffin, don’t say I’m not giving you face, your people are just too unruly!"
Saying that, he pointed at Xiao Sha, "Arrest this woman and take her back for interrogation."
A murderous gleam flashed in Griffin’s eyes.
He wasn’t some good-natured kind-hearted person, he’d been acting deferent only to avoid trouble.
But now that Garcia showed such disrespect, how could he not be angry.
Xiao Sha was even more indifferent.
"Alright, I’m bored anyway, I’ll play with you guys!"
Just as a big fight seemed imminent, a luxurious pink convoy slowly entered the checkpoint.
Seeing the car emblem and badge, Garcia, who had just been furious, trembled all over and immediately greeted with utmost respect.
"Honorable Miss Mandy, you’re back!"
As he spoke, he signaled to his men, and the barricade at the checkpoint was lifted.
The convoy slowly stopped, and the window of the car in the center was rolled down, revealing a standard Caucasian face.
Despite this, it was evident that she was a stunning beauty.
Especially her eyes, green like two gems.
"Garcia, what were you just shouting about?"
Garcia trembled all over, yet dared not conceal anything, so he recounted the events.
After listening, the woman curiously glanced at Griffin not far away.
"You’re Griffin?"
What kind of person was Griffin, naturally by now he had guessed the identity of this woman, so he stepped forward, bowed, and said.
"Yes, it’s an honor to meet you, beautiful Miss Mandy."
Mandy smiled gently, "You know me?"
"Who wouldn’t know the great Lester Family!"
