Chapter 74

After returning to Las Vegas, Li She discussed the matter of finding the divine beast's blood with Wang Yuyan and Li Yunluo.

"Dear, with so many energy points this time, is it enough for us to travel to a higher world?" Wang Yuyan asked softly with a smile.

"Yes, we have a full twelve million energy points, enough for our family of three to live in a higher world for over a hundred years," Li She said while sipping red wine.

Li Yunluo couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, I originally thought of growing old with you, this troublemaker, but now it seems impossible. A hundred years? If we were mortals, we would have long turned to dust!"

"That's true. Immortality can also be a curse. Senior Jiangchen was trapped in the world of 'My Date with a Vampire.' Although he was immortal, he had to suffer from excessive yin energy every hundred years. Nowadays, time is just a number to us! Like Senior Jiangchen, with a firm heart, once on this path, there's no turning back!" Li She gently stroked Wang Yuyan and Li Yunluo.

"Dear, as long as I can be with you, even hell is fine!" Wang Yuyan said with a smile.

"We've become 'Drought Spirits,' immortal and undying. I'm just afraid you, this troublemaker, will get tired of me," Li Yunluo teased.

Li She hugged the two and said, "Hehe, I might like new things, but I won't get tired of the old ones, my darlings."

Just as Li She was enjoying a romantic moment with the two, a phone call interrupted his intimacy.

Only four people knew about this phone number: Old Cat and the others. They usually wouldn't call unless something was wrong. It seemed someone was in trouble.

Li She picked up the phone, and Old Cat's urgent voice came through, "Boss, my bar was bombed."

"Oh? Are you okay? What happened?" Li She asked.

"A few days ago, I took a job from a rich man to get rid of an Italian who was harassing his daughter. I checked the Italian's background and found he was just a typical rich kid, so I didn't think much of it and took the job. But after my hitman eliminated him, I found out he was the illegitimate son of the Gambino family's boss. Now the Gambino family is forcing me to reveal the client. They bombed the bar as a warning," Old Cat said helplessly.

Li She frowned after hearing this. Old Cat's actions were understandable. If he had revealed the client's information, he would have lost future business. A middleman who couldn't protect client information wouldn't be trusted.

"You handled it well. Did anyone in the store get hurt?" Li She asked.

"No, the Gambino family sent ten gunmen. They got out of the car and started shooting with machine guns. The staff reacted quickly and ran out. A few were hit by stray bullets. Then those people left a timed bomb," Old Cat described.

After a moment, Old Cat added, "I was going to ask for help from Xiao Bing, but you told us not to let anyone know about our relationship, so I didn't."

"Alright, take care of the staff and hide yourself. I'll handle the rest," Li She said and hung up.

Wang Yuyan and Li Yunluo, who were with Li She, naturally heard the phone call. Wang Yuyan asked, "Is Old Cat in trouble?"

"Yes, Old Cat has run afoul of a powerful gang in the United States. I'll go and deal with it," Li She said softly.

"Be careful," Li Yunluo said. After all, with Li She's strength, in the real world, unless nuclear weapons were used, no conventional weapons could harm his 'Drought Spirit' body.

In the 1930s, the Mafia had developed into a complete organization in the American underworld. By the 1950s, the American Mafia had become a major force, with various factions controlling many independent criminal groups across major cities in the United States.

The Gambino family was initially led by the boss Paul Castellano, who later handed over power to Carlo Gambino himself. Among the "Five Families" in New York, the Gambino family was the only one that the government's law enforcement agencies were powerless against. It was the top criminal organization among the "Five Families," with its power and cunning making it difficult for law enforcement to take action. This solidified the Gambino family's position in the underworld.

The FBI had a file over a meter high on Carlo Gambino himself, but in recent years, Carlo Gambino had retreated to the background, out of the public eye. His low profile made him even less known to the outside world. It's no wonder Old Cat didn't know that his target was Carlo Gambino's illegitimate son; otherwise, he would never have taken the job for just two million dollars.

Li She personally hacked into the FBI system and found Carlo Gambino's residence. Looking at the address, he muttered, "This guy is hiding deep. Even though he's retired, he lives in Switzerland. Isn't he afraid his subordinates will betray him?"

The reason the American police couldn't touch Carlo Gambino was that the head of the largest New York Mafia family, Carlo Gambino, had long immigrated to Switzerland, a country in Europe known for its excellent welfare. From Switzerland, Carlo Gambino remotely controlled the Gambino family's activities in the United States. If something went wrong, there would always be a scapegoat. Being outside the United States, he had an alibi, and even if the American police suspected him, they couldn't do anything.

Switzerland is a federal state located in Central Europe, a landlocked country bordering Germany to the north, France to the west, Italy to the south, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east. It is a federal state with Bern as the seat of the federal government. Switzerland is a world-renowned neutral country that has historically maintained political and military neutrality but is also involved in international affairs, with many international organizations headquartered there. Switzerland is one of the wealthiest, most economically developed, and highest-living-standard countries in the world, with one of the highest per capita GDPs and very low unemployment and fiscal deficits. It is rich in tourism resources and is known as the "World Park." Many multinational companies have their headquarters in Switzerland, and the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report ranks Switzerland as the most competitive country in the world. With a developed financial industry, the service sector plays an increasingly important role in the Swiss economy.

According to information from the FBI, Carlo Gambino had substantial assets in Switzerland. For the past twenty years, he had gradually transferred his assets to Switzerland. The strength of Swiss banks, a neutral country, lies in their robust banking system. During World War II, when Germany was defeated, the gold they had looted from European countries was stored in Switzerland. Even after the war, the United Nations could not reclaim this anonymous asset from Swiss banks. Sixty-nine percent of Switzerland's population is German, and German is one of the official languages. This is why many German officials and refugees fled to Switzerland after World War II.

Li She himself was once a mid-level client of a Swiss bank, with over ten million dollars in an anonymous account. If not for offending the Liu family, who used the full power of China, Li She's Swiss bank account wouldn't have been frozen. According to the FBI, Carlo Gambino's personal assets amounted to about five billion dollars. Such a large sum, if deposited in a Swiss bank, would make him a high-end client. Li She's Swiss bank anonymous gold card was nothing compared to Carlo Gambino's, who was likely a top-tier black card holder.

With such a Swiss bank black card, one could have a daily overdraft limit of ten million dollars, guaranteed by the Swiss bank.

Carlo Gambino owned twenty-six properties across the twenty-six cantons of Switzerland, including an estate on the Alaskan snow mountain.

Li She stared at the photo on the computer. In the photo, a middle-aged Italian man with neatly combed brown hair, a sharp jawline, and a clean-shaven face, dressed in a black suit and a white fur coat, surrounded by a group of bodyguards, was Carlo Gambino.

Carlo Gambino lived in Zurich, the largest city in Switzerland and one of the wealthiest in Europe. It is a major commercial and cultural center and the capital of the canton of Zurich. Zurich is the representative city of the Swiss banking industry and one of the world's financial centers. The headquarters of the Swiss National Bank, Credit Suisse, and many private banks are located in Zurich. The headquarters of FIFA is also in Zurich. Dadaism originated in Zurich in 1916. In recent years, Zurich has been ranked as the best city to live in globally.

Zurich is not only the largest financial center in Switzerland but also an important financial center in Western Europe. It is home to over 120 banks, more than half of which are foreign banks, earning it the title of "City of Millionaires."

Zurich, the world's banking capital, is also known as the "City of Water" due to its network of waterways. Boats are a primary mode of transportation.

At the age of fifty-three, Carlo Gambino owned half a street in Zurich, a place where every inch of land is valuable.

Sitting by the window, holding a glass of 1982 Porto, Li She swirled the wine and held a black-and-white photo. In the photo, a woman lay in bed, and a one-year-old boy slept peacefully beside her. Although his former lover had left him due to gang violence, the boy had survived. But now, his child had been assassinated in the United States. "An, I'm sorry. I couldn't protect our child," Carlo Gambino said to himself.

Looking at the photo, Carlo Gambino turned to his subordinates in the room and asked softly, "Has Adam's body been brought back?"

"Yes, boss, we have brought Adam's body back from the United States," his subordinate replied.

Hearing this, Carlo Gambino looked much older. He had experienced countless gang wars in his life, but the only thing he remembered clearly was the pain when his two most beloved women left him. His wife and An had both died in gang wars, leaving him with three daughters and this son, Adam.

Because of this, Carlo Gambino had always strictly protected his four children, keeping their information hidden from the outside world. He hoped they could live ordinary lives and avoid the violence and bloodshed.

The first day of training was exhausting, sitting all day. I was so tired! I didn't even eat dinner, just washed up and went to bed. I wouldn't have woken up if the phone hadn't rung!
