Chapter 269: Inevitable Clash (Part one)

Xu Cheng and Bei Shan successfully left the black market with the cultural relics, and when passing the checkpoint, an inspector said to him, “Mr. Fang, out of respect for you, next time you come, you don’t have to leave your weapon with us.”

“Thank your boss for me,” Xu Cheng said, and Bei Shan drove off.

Haber had been waiting at the airport he parked his private jet at, and one of his men said, “Boss, what are you waiting for? Do you really believe that someone could leave the black market by himself when the whole city is after him? I don’t think we should waste any more time here.”

Haber sighed. “I don’t really believe it too, yet I just can’t help but think ‘What if he is actually lucky enough?’ I do quite like those artifacts, so let’s just wait a little longer.”
With the three of them staring at the airport gate in the distance, a truck appeared. When Haber saw Xu Cheng jumping off the pickup truck with a bag over his shoulder, he smiled. He immediately invited the two into his private jet.

“I kept my words This is the package you wanted, you can double check.”

Xu Cheng placed the bag on the table and said.

“No need. Just for the fact that you can get here alive, this is the money order of 1.5 billion euros in the underground bank. Just go to Las Vegas, and they will find a way to give you the money,” Haber said.

Xu Cheng accepted the money order and grinned. “Nice working with you.”

“Nice working with you too, come to the Middle East when you get a chance. I’m honored to meet a friend like you.”

“We will see,” Xu Cheng said, and he left Haber’s private jet with Bei Shan. After giving Lin Lei a call, a car came to pick them up to drive to Lin Lei’s private jet, which had been waiting for a while now.

The three of them immediately took off and headed to Las Vegas.

“What did the Third Prince say about that crown? Did he notice that something was fishy?” Inside the cabin, Xu Cheng asked Lin Lei.

Lin Lei laughed and replied, “This guy always saw himself as my brother-in-law, so when I gave him that crown, he thought I was finally accepting him and was gifting that to help him advance his political career. As long as he gives this to the queen on the night of the banquet, I think the face of that Terry guy from the media company would be extremely interesting to watch.”
Xu Cheng laughed. “Yeah, that will be really awkward.”

Since Mexico was just the neighboring country, the flight to Las Vegas was quite quick. They arrived right when the sun came up.

A limo was already there to pick them up at the private airport, and they went directly to the biggest casino in town, into the VIP reception room to meet with the person in charge of exchanging the money.

The three of them were all invited into a room, and Xu Cheng took out the money order Haber gave him to the four manager-level staff that were sitting across from him.

One of them directly stood up, shook Xu Cheng’s hand, and said, “Mr. Xu, if you choose to launder the money at our casino, the commission is 30%.”

Lin Lei directly blew his cap off. “Why don’t you go and rob a bank? Don’t think that I don’t know the rules in money laundering, the commission is at most 20%! 30% of 1.5 billion is 450 million, you won’t even get that much if you go and rob a bank!”

The managers of this casino immediately weren’t happy. “You can also continue to put the money in the underground bank. All in all, if you don’t pick our casino to launder your money, I can guarantee that no bank in Las Vegas has enough cash to help you guys launder! Remember, it’s 1.5 billion euros, not your country’s cheap currency.”

Xu Cheng felt it wasn’t that bad, at least there would be 1.05 billion. In fact, he could definitely start gambling with a little money and slowly make 3 billion, but which casino would allow you to win 3 billion in one night? Not to mention getting to 3 billion with just a little bit of starting funds, it would be strange if no one suspects you.

So, this was why Xu Cheng decided to finish the mission first and sell the artifacts. Then, when he already had more than a billion, it wouldn’t be as strange or too big of an exaggeration to triple that to 3 billion, right? After all, it was just tripling the money. Or else, if he started gambling with just a little, he had to keep winning consecutive rounds for at least a day or something, without losing even once. Most importantly, if he were to win consecutively, the casino’s management would definitely try to look for trouble, and if any accidents were to happen, Xu Cheng was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to make it in time for the banquet.

“It’s fine, Lei.” Xu Cheng interrupted Lin Lei and then said to the managers, “I accept the commission rate.”

The manager smiled. “Then let’s go and see the person in charge of the underground money bank.”
He brought Xu Cheng and the other two to the basement. The underground floor also has luxurious living rooms and suites, and when the four went to a room, there were two Asian-looking bodyguards. With Xu Cheng’s penetrating vision, he could see that those two were both armed.

After entering the room, the 60-year-old-looking asian man smoking a cigar was about to walk up to welcome the guests, but when he saw Xu Cheng, his face changed.

“It’s you little b-stard!”

Xu Cheng and the others were a bit stunned.

Xu Cheng looked at the old guy and asked, “Do we know each other?”
The manager of the casino interrupted, “Allow me to introduce, this is one of the people responsible for M Nation’s underground money house, Beiye Zhangnan.”

Beiye Zhangnan snorted and replied to Xu Cheng, “Of course we do, we have grudges to be exact. My nephew was unfortunately arrested by you and then sentenced to death, I don’t know if Mr. Xu still remembers him.”

Xu Cheng quickly realized. “Oh, so Hetian was your niece? I should’ve remembered, but I didn’t think that your capitalist group actually extended its reach into this country as well. Unfortunately, I’m not a cop of this country, or I would destroy this branch too.”
Beiye narrowed his eyes. “You made us lose more than 100 billion, and you still dare to leave your country? You sure have guts.”

Xu Cheng said, “If that’s the case, as the guy that murdered your nephew, I can’t get my money anymore, right?”

Beiye Zhangnan said, “I indeed don’t want to launder that 1.5 billion for you, and if this transaction didn’t involve one of our biggest clients, Mr. Haber, I would’ve even killed you on the spot, right now.”

Xu Cheng walked up to Beiye Zhangnan and said, face to face, “Then you can try. Your nephew got what he deserved, so feel free to avenge him. But, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Don’t play with fire!”

At this moment, the manager of this casino said, “Alright, I can’t interfere with the grudges between you two, but this transaction involves Mr. Haber’s asset transfer, so please set aside your grudges first and deal with it after this transaction successfully completes, okay?”

As a very influential person in the Middle East, Mr. Haber was definitely a big client of Beiye Zhangnan and the casino. This transaction was also very huge, and if it wasn’t executed properly, Mr. Haber may doubt their ability to handle their future businesses and pick another underground money house to deposit their black money. So, no matter how much Beiye Zhangnan wanted to eat Xu Cheng alive, now was not the time to do it. At least right now, Xu Cheng is representing Mr. Haber to withdraw money, and if he wanted to do anything, he should at least wait until the money was successfully transferred into Xu Cheng’s hands.
