HKTV: How is the Great Owl made?

Then, the two sides praised each other for a few more words.

Until Lin Yao felt annoyed, he asked directly:

"Mr. Cook, let's stop talking nonsense. What do you want from me this time?"

Rockefeller took a sip of his coffee.

His eyes fell on Lin Yao opposite him, and he asked slowly:

"Mr. Lin, I heard that you have a deep conflict with the underground society in New York, especially the Hongmen?"

Lin Yao took a light puff of his cigar, the flame at the tip of the cigar flickered, and then he exhaled a circle of light smoke.

He said slowly, "Mr. Cook, yes, they sent assassins to assassinate me."

Rockefeller looked stern, frowned slightly, and spoke with a hint of indignation:

"I see! Mr. Lin, this is really intolerable."

After a brief pause, Rockefeller changed the subject, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes:

"By the way, Mr. Lin, are you interested in cooperating with us?"

"Cooperation on what?"

Lin Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, a gleam of interest flashed in his eyes, and looked at Rockefeller.

“Our battle with WP has reached the most critical moment.”

Rockefeller frowned slightly, his expression was solemn, and his face was full of worry.

"They are supporting a person who is hostile to us, and if this person gains power, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us."

He paused slightly, staring at Lin Yao.

Trying to catch a hint of reaction from the other person's expression:

"Mr. Lin, as long as you join forces with us, WP will never dare to compete with us."

After a pause, he continued, trying to impress Lin Yao further: "Of course, you can also benefit from it."

"We can help you completely eliminate the Hongmen."

There was a glimmer of cunning in Rockefeller's eyes. He was well aware of the conflict between Lin Yao and the Hongmen.

Consider this an extremely attractive bargaining chip.

Lin Yao shook his head slowly, with a faint smile still on his lips:

"No, Mr. Cook, the deal you proposed is not fair."

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean by this?"

Rockefeller was eager to know what Lin Yao was thinking and tried to find a way to save the situation.

Lin Yao looked straight at Rockefeller, his eyes firm and sharp:

"Mr. Cook, I would like to ask, in your opinion, how does the Hongmen compare to the WP?"

"Mr. Lin, how can the Hongmen compare with the WP? The WP is much stronger."

Rockefeller said with certainty that in his eyes, the gap between the two was as huge as the difference between heaven and earth.

Lin Yao nodded slightly, his eyes revealing some deep meaning:

"So, do you think it's fair to use the solution to Hongmen in exchange for my help in fighting WP?"

Rockefeller showed a sophisticated smile on his face and said frankly: "Mr. Lin, it seems that I have not considered it carefully. Then please state your conditions!"

Lin Yao picked up the coffee slowly and took a sip. The aroma of the coffee spread in his mouth. He slowly said:

"I don't need you to take action. Just remain neutral. I will handle the matter with the Hongmen myself."

In fact, Lin Yao did not want to use the power of Freemasonry to deal with the Hongmen. He had his own considerations and plans.

In his opinion, relying on one's own strength to resolve grievances can not only establish prestige, but also better control the situation.

Rockefeller pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Lin, do you have any other requests besides this?"

Lin Yao shook his head decisively and held out his hand: "No more, happy cooperation!"

"OK, thank you Mr. Lin, it's a pleasure to work with you!"

Rockefeller held Lin Yao's hand with a smile on his face.

At this moment, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Cooperation with Lin Yao is crucial for them to fight against WP.

After meeting with Rockefeller, Lin Yao went to Las Vegas to meet Situ Ning.

Situ Ning set up a branch here in the name of a trading company.

With Lin Yao's strong support, Situ Ning owned five medium-sized casinos in Las Vegas in just one year.

With her sharp skills and decisive decision-making, she has established a firm foothold in Las Vegas, a land full of opportunities and challenges.

Lao Gu had already been waiting for Lin Yao at the Las Vegas International Airport.

As soon as he saw Lin Yao, Lao Gu immediately said respectfully:

"Mr. Lin, please get in the car."

Sitting in the car, Lin Yao asked, "Where is Miss Situ?"

"Mr. Si Lin, Miss Tu is negotiating with people from the Gulf Group in the casino." Lao Gu answered respectfully.

"What?"

Lin Yao took a puff of his cigar, exhaled a circle of smoke, and asked slowly.

"That's right, Mr. Lin."

"Before we came, this was the territory of the Laomo Bay Group."

"We have developed too fast and our power has risen rapidly, which has caused the Gulf Group to feel a great threat."

Lao Gu paused and continued:

"This time, their deputy gang leader came to Las Vegas to find us in person and asked us to abide by the rules here and double the protection fee, otherwise he would declare an all-out war..."

In the next few minutes, Lao Gu reported the situation in detail so that Lin Yao could understand the whole picture.

After listening to this, Lin Yao looked calm and unperturbed, and asked calmly:

"What did Miss Situ say?"

If the negotiations break down, how should we respond to the challenge posed by the Gulf Group?

After all, this is their home ground.

"Ms. Situ, tell the other party to come at me." Old Gu had a smile on his face, as if he admired Situ Ning's toughness.

Situ Ning's consistent courageous style left a deep impression on Lao Gu.

She did not back down in the face of the Gulf Group's tough demands, and this spirit made Lao Gu respect her.

"Yes, this is Situ Ning's character." Lin Yao thought to himself, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and Situ Ning's courageous and resolute appearance emerged in his mind.

Lin Yao then asked: "Since we have come to this point and have not come to an agreement, what is there to discuss today?"

Old Gu bowed slightly and reported earnestly: "Ms. Situ and the Gulf Group had several confrontations before, and both sides won and lost. But later, the Hongmen got involved, and the situation became unfavorable to us."

After a pause, his expression became somewhat solemn, and he continued:

"According to the information I received, there is a traitor around Miss Situ."

"However, Situ Chu has not yet taken action against Miss Situ."

Lao Gu is the elder of Fengtang.

Knowing that every detail of this intelligence may affect Lin Yao's decision.

"Old Gu, continue!" Lin Yao said.

Lao Gu adjusted his sitting position and continued:

"It is precisely because we need to deal with pressure from two sides at the same time that Miss Situ Ning wants to negotiate peace with the Gulf Group first, and then deal with the Gulf Group with all her strength after destroying the Hongmen."

Hearing this, Lin Yao understood in his heart that the conflict between the Gulf Group and Situ Ning was nothing but a conflict of interest.

This contradiction can be resolved to a certain extent through negotiation or checks and balances of power.

However, the conflict between Situ Ning and the Hongmen is absolutely irreconcilable. Situ Ning is now regarded as a traitor by the Hongmen, and the two sides are fighting to the death.

"Gulf Group?"

A faint smile appeared on Lin Yao's lips.

In his eyes, although the Gulf Group is a force that cannot be ignored, it is actually not difficult to deal with it.

Lin Yao took a puff of his cigar, slowly exhaled the smoke, and said lightly:

"Old Gu, take me to the Monopoly Casino now."

At this moment, Lin Yao already had a plan in mind.

"Okay, Mr. Lin!"

Old Gu responded respectfully, then started the car with concentration and drove towards the Monopoly Casino.

The car sped along the road and the scenery outside the window passed by quickly.

Lin Yao kept planning in his mind how to resolve the crisis faced by Situ Ning and how to break through the complicated situation.

Not only do they have to deal with the pressure from the Gulf Group, but they also have to resolve the major threat posed by the Hongmen.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Five minutes later, the car stopped steadily in front of a magnificent five-star hotel.

The hotel's magnificent exterior embodies luxury and wealth, like a mysterious palace hidden in a bustling city.

And this is where the Monopoly Casino is located.

Lin Yao opened the car door and walked towards the casino with an upright posture.

As soon as I entered the casino, I was stopped by a security guard:

"Sir, Sarry, our casino is closed today." The security guard had a blank expression on his face, but his tone was full of unquestionable determination.

"Get lost! Do you know that this is Mr. Lin from Tianyao Group?"

Old Gu's face was full of anger and he shouted loudly.

When the security guard heard the words "Mr. Lin of Tianyao Group" and caught a glimpse of the imposing bodyguard team behind Lin Yao, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.

He stammered, "Sorry, Mr. Lin, please come in!"

His tone was full of fear and respect, and he quickly stepped aside to make way.

Lin Yao took a light puff of his cigar and exhaled a circle of smoke, which slowly rose.

Then he walked into the casino with steady steps, looking around calmly.

Old Gu hurriedly followed, walked sideways to Lin Yao's side, and said respectfully:

"Mr. Lin, this casino is He Xin's territory, so they know your name..."

He tried to explain to Lin Yao why the casino security guard's attitude changed so much after hearing his name.

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yao smiled and waved his hand: "Old Gu, it doesn't matter."

To him, it was just a small matter.

At this moment, he was more concerned about the negotiation situation he was about to face.

Then, Lao Gu led Lin Yao to the largest VIP box on the top floor of the Rich Casino.

The decoration here is extremely luxurious, and the crystal chandeliers cast a soft and dazzling light.

The expensive carpet was so soft that it seemed to swallow up the sound of footsteps.

At this moment, Situ Ning was negotiating with Guzman, the second-in-command of the Gulf Group.

With a creaking sound.

The slight sound of the door opening broke the tense atmosphere in the box, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Situ Ning and Guzman's attention was instantly drawn to the door of the box.

The next second, Lin Yao's tall figure appeared in front of everyone.

He was dressed in a well-tailored suit, had a strong aura, and his eyes showed wisdom and calmness.

When Situ Ning saw Lin Yao, a hint of surprise and relief flashed in his eyes.

Guzman frowned slightly, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the box suddenly became more subtle.

"Where did you come from, you bastard? Get out right now! Go!"

A bodyguard from the Gulf Group, relying on his own power, arrogantly shouted at Lin Yao.

As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp "pop" sound suddenly rang out in the box!

Like a loud thunder, it broke the brief noise.

The bodyguard's face was distorted instantly after being slapped by Situ Ning, and he looked like a puppet with its strings cut!

After his body twitched a few times, he foamed at the mouth and went into shock!

The next second, Situ Ning instantly put away the fierceness on his face and said to Lin Yao gently, "Mr. Lin, you are here."

Her tone was like the warm sunshine in the cold winter, and her attitude changed instantly, making people marvel at her quick response.

At this time, Guzman, the second in command of the Gulf Group, blushed and asked Situ Ning loudly like an enraged bull:

"Ms. Situ, what are you doing? Why are you treating my men like this?"

"Where is your sincerity in this negotiation?"

He had an angry look on his face, and was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Situ Ning's behavior.

Then, he turned his gaze to Lin Yao, then to Situ Ning, his eyes full of doubt, and asked:

"Who is this person?"

Guzman was very wary of Lin Yao who suddenly broke in and the bodyguards behind him.

Situ Ning looked calm and said calmly:

"Mr. Guzman, this is my benefactor. Not beating your men to death is already my greatest sincerity."

"Ms. Situ, you are provoking our Gulf Group, right?"

Guzman's eyes were wide open, as if fire was about to spit out of them.

His voice rose several octaves, and the entire box seemed to tremble slightly at his voice.

At this time, Lin Yao took a puff of his cigar slowly and said:

"The Gulf Group must withdraw from Las Vegas, otherwise, it will perish."

"Haha, are you kidding? Do you know how powerful our Gulf Group is?"

Guzman's face was full of sarcasm. He felt that Lin Yao's words were simply a fantasy.

The Gulf Group has deep roots in Las Vegas and cannot be driven away easily.

Lin Yao looked directly at Guzman and saw that he was tall and had a very conspicuous feature on his face - rosacea.

Lin Yao knew clearly that this Guzman was not the infamous "Shorty Guzman", it was just a coincidence.

"Guzman, huh? You're looking for death!!"

Lin Yao's eyes were as cold as ice.

The tone was calm but seemed to carry a tremendous amount of force, revealing a frightening deterrent force.

He stood there, emitting the majesty of a king.

Next second!

Guzman felt as if his eyes were suddenly covered by a huge black cloth, and everything was pitch black!

Then, a dizzy feeling came over me.

Before he could react, his consciousness quickly receded like the tide!

He fainted straight away.

The body fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound.

When his men saw this, looks of horror instantly appeared on their faces.

Their eyes were wide open, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying.

Out of instinct, they reacted quickly and prepared to fight to the death. (End of this chapter)
