"Tell the people in Rome to prepare a few cars, and be quick enough, we'll drive out of Italy! As long as we can get out of Italy, we'll be completely safe!" Ma Bin quickly analyzed the situation and then said to Du Yu.

"Alright! Gather all 108 heroes immediately, target Rome!" Du Yu shouted excitedly after hearing Ma Bin's instructions, taking out his phone.

After hanging up the phone, Du Yu stared at Elder Ma Bin, a glint of fanaticism in his eyes. "Elder, let's go to Rome. Rome is those guys' territory, why don't we..."

"No need to say more, Rome is the only choice. However, we won't just drive there openly like this. Isn't there a bus from Arezzo to Rome? We can take the bus..." Ma Bin finished speaking with a hint of worry on his face. Although they would have to sacrifice some pieces in Arezzo, it was hard to say whether those pieces would still be effective. They had to leave before the people from the Han Dynasty arrived. Hopefully, the old saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place would really be true!

Ma Bin and his group left Florence "very dangerously" and headed straight for Arezzo. Meanwhile, Dar Hammeri had already angrily mobilized his men and rushed towards Florence. However, on the way, he received a phone call from an unknown number and learned that Ma Bin had already left Florence for Arezzo. Immediately, a group of more than a dozen cars rushed to Arezzo to catch up.

"Big brother, did Uncle Ma really betray the Dragon Dance Association? What was the reason?" Xiaoyue was still finding it hard to accept Ma Bin's sudden betrayal. Li Jia, who was sitting quietly to the side, shook her head. "I don't know either. I noticed something amiss before, so I've been keeping an eye on him. I didn't expect him to succumb so quickly..."

"Miss, a young Black man is here to see Mr. Li," the younger brother who came in from outside said.

"Let him in." As soon as Li Jia finished speaking, the man from Black Czech appeared in the room. He was not one to follow the rules at all; he had already followed the messenger to the door. Upon hearing Li Jia's words, he immediately jumped out.

"Master, mission accomplished! I've done my job!" This time, Black Jack was surprisingly quiet. After saying that, he handed the CD and the email address to Li Jia. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Wait a minute, Hei Zi. Go to Arezzo and bring Ma Bin back. I've changed my mind. I want to ask him myself what the reason is. Remember, I want him alive!" Hei Zi nodded to Li Jia, then turned and left.

"Little girl. It seems Hei Zi is still infatuated with you. Come out, he already knew you were here." Watching Hei Zi leave in a hurry, Li Jia picked up the water glass next to her and said calmly.

“This time it’s different. He didn’t find me, he found Scorpion’s stuff.” Angel finished speaking and walked out, then looked at a black floor tile under Li Jia’s feet. There was a faint stain on the tile, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a miniature camera installed underneath. Only Scorpions could do something like that. And next to the tile, Scorpion habitually left its mark—a simple, one-stroke drawing of a scorpion. Although small, it couldn’t escape Blackie’s eyes.

Hei Zi, Scorpion, and Angel are the three with the most complicated relationship among Li Jia's seven apprentices. Two men with completely different personalities both like Angel, but Angel has never given any of them hope. This time, however, Scorpion's life-saving act finally moves Angel's heart, leaving Hei Zi unable to accept their current relationship upon seeing them.

"Well, hehe, little girl, go and take Xiaoyue out for a walk to clear her head. The elders should be back soon. I think they might know something about Ma Bin." After Li Jia finished speaking, she stood up and walked out of the villa's hall. At this moment, several cars stopped one after another at the entrance of the manor. The four elders of the Dragon Dance Association returned to the Dragon Dance Association at almost the same time.

"Uncle Liang, Elder Long, I have something to discuss with you both. Could we speak in private?" Li Jiabu walked up to the elders, clasped his hands in greeting, and explained his purpose.

"Alright, you can go back first. We'll discuss the report later." Liang Bo, the Third Elder, turned around and greeted the two newly promoted elders. Then, he looked at Li Jia with a questioning expression and followed her slowly towards the open space behind the villa. Long Suifeng also looked inscrutable, staring at Li Jia as if trying to figure out what she wanted to ask.

“Uncle Liang, Elder Long, you must have noticed when you returned that there are suddenly more police officers on the streets. This matter is directly related to our Dragon Dance Association.” Li Jia’s words immediately captured the attention of the two elderly men.

"Get to the point, when did you become so long-winded?" Uncle Liang's words were just like Li Jia's. Indeed, when they came back, they were wondering what had happened and why the Dragon Dance Association hadn't received any news. Little did they know that it wasn't that they hadn't received any news, but that the news had been blocked. In addition, the incident happened so quickly that no one had a chance to find out why.

"The Grand Elder has betrayed us! He has almost all of the Dragon Dance Society's top-secret information and wants to make a deal with the Hammeri family in Sicily..." As soon as Li Jia said this, Uncle Liang looked confused, but Long Suifeng frowned and sighed softly.

"What? Why? Ma Bin is already the Grand Elder and Acting President of the Dragon Dance Association. What is he thinking?" Uncle Liang's first reaction was confusion, followed by a loud question. Just as he was about to go look for Ma Bin, Long Suifeng grabbed him and said, "Old Liang, there's no need to go."
