He was once a top-tier assassin, an existence that even international police feared. Now, he's the small owner of a dry-cleaning shop.
To take care of his younger brother and sister, whom...
After listening to Angel's words, Feng nodded slightly. "It's normal. From any perspective, the Dragon Dance Association is a prime suspect. However, this is also good. Suspicion is one thing, but they can't take any action in a short time. This way, we still have room to maneuver."
"How do we handle this?" Xiaoyue, who was standing next to Li Jia, asked immediately after hearing Li Jia's words. Because she was now the nominal head of the Dragon Dance Club, she had a stronger affection for the Dragon Dance Club that Ai Sihai had left her than anyone else.
"Hehe, in Rome, which gangs can rival Kaman?" Li Jia smiled and turned to ask Angel.
"In Rome, there's only one gang that can rival the Carman family: the Hand of God. Calling it a gang is more like calling it an assassin organization. They don't give a damn about anyone in Rome, including the Carman family." Angel answered without hesitation, clearly already understanding Li Jia's intentions. After a pause, she continued, "The Hand of God doesn't have many obvious rivals. The most well-known is another organization in Rome called Night! Night is a pure assassin organization, and the two have had many conflicts and battles before. Also, in Florence, there's David, who's always been their adversary! David is Florence's top assassin organization. He, along with the Hand of God and Night, are known as the three major assassin organizations in Italy. Of course, as far as I know, the Hand of God is backed by the Sicilian Mafia, led by the Luciano family..."
Angel's words plunged Li Jia into deep thought. The Mafia's current situation was far beyond what a mere Dragon Dance Club could contend with. Its vast and intricate network had spread globally, extending beyond Italy to countries and cities like Japan, Russia, the United States, and Hong Kong. Moreover, the most authentic Mafia was no longer the kind of organization that relied solely on extortion and blackmail for wealth; they had long since shifted to high-IQ criminal activities. According to investigations, nearly $250 billion annually flowed into the accounts of legitimate companies through certain channels.
Now, there's no other way but to take the risk. Since one has been eliminated, it doesn't matter if another one is eliminated. "Xiaoyue, don't worry, your brother knows what he's doing. Go have fun, Angel, go keep Xiaoyue company."
Angel nodded after looking at Li Jia, then pulled Xiaoyue out of the room.
"Master, what do you need?" Scorpion knew Li Jia's personality very well, so he didn't waste any words and asked Li Jia's purpose directly.
"Bombs, the kind with the power of a broadsword mine. This time, I think we must resolve this matter completely, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to have peace of mind." Li Jia smiled and stated what she needed.
"The C7 is an upgraded version of the C4 bomb. Its power is comparable to four 500-gram C4 bombs, and it's no less powerful than the American Claymore mine, but it's only this big!" Without saying a word, Scorpion turned around and took out a bomb about the size of an ink bottle from the weapon box next to him, handing it to Li Jia and saying slowly. After finishing, he added, "Made by Scorpion! It's guaranteed to be top-quality! There's only one in the world!"
Li Jia smiled, took the bomb, and then picked out a few more handy weapons, packing them into the travel bag Scorpion had prepared for him. He nodded to Scorpion, then turned and left Scorpion's studio.
A few days later, another sensational event occurred in Rome: the headquarters of the assassin organization Night was bombed, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, with several key members killed. The once-famous Night collapsed and disintegrated overnight.
A week later, David in Florence also suffered a devastating blow. At its own headquarters, several leaders and key personnel were beheaded with daggers, and the base was razed to the ground overnight.
Two consecutive bombings that shocked the world were speculated by global media to be terrorist demonstrations, but in less than half a month, four terrorist organizations have come forward to claim responsibility for the three incidents, which has only made the media more confused about which is true and which is false.
Meanwhile, the major Mafia families in Sicily also began talks, shifting their attention from the Dragon Dance Club to their own internal affairs. Li Jia's clever maneuvering had finally paid off!
It wasn't until two months later that this series of events finally calmed down, and the Dragon Dance Party finally got back on track...
"Xiaoyue, the Spring Festival is just a few days away, and your older brother will probably have to go back to China." Li Jia said to Xiaoyue calmly as she lay on the bed.
"Hmm. Then, brother, about your injuries..." Xiaoyue knew she couldn't keep her brother. But she was worried about how Li Jia's injuries were healing, so she asked.
"Hehe. It's alright, this isn't the first time I've been injured. Okay, go have some fun. Tell Scorpion and Angel to come see me." After Li Jia finished speaking, she smiled and patted Xiao Yue's shoulder.
"Master..." As soon as Li Jia finished speaking, Angel and Scorpion appeared at the door and called out slowly as they looked at Li Jia's scarred face.
"I'm going back to China. I'm leaving this place in your care from now on. Make sure Xiaoyue is safe. I'll come back to see you when I have the chance." After saying that, Li Jia got out of bed and said to Angel, "Take off the gauze. I don't want to go home like this."
“Yes, Master!” Angel looked at Li Jia’s smiling eyes, nodded and answered softly, then came to Li Jia’s side and began to remove the gauze wrapped around Li Jia’s body.
