Chapter 522: Your hard-earned money? No, it's mine now (2 more)

Views:

Luke listened with interest and casually installed a tracker on Pedro's car.

Soon, Pedro and the guard leader got in the car and left.

Luke followed slowly.

The two soon entered a villa in a wealthy area and met a middle-aged man in the office.

Luke, who was following him, looked at the man on the drone screen and couldn't help muttering, "Another slicked-back hair man? Aren't there many good people with slicked-back hair nowadays?"

In the picture, the man with slicked-back hair has a red face, a big nose, small eyes, and his appearance is questionable.

But several people in the room were extremely afraid of him.

After the guard leader and Pedro explained the attack on the treasury, the middle-aged man laughed: "Not stolen? They didn't steal my money? They just burned it? Haha."

As he spoke, he walked past the desk and tapped on the decorations on the desk. "You guys are just going to watch my five million dollars being burned?"

No one said anything.

The middle-aged man suddenly grabbed a metal sculpture, turned around and swung it over.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the guard leader fell to the ground instantly, with a large pool of blood gushing from his forehead, staining the beige carpet red.

Pedro was trembling all over, but he didn't dare to move.

The two bodyguards had been staring at him closely since he came in, their hands on the gun handles at their waists.

The middle-aged man put down the blood-stained metal sculpture and said, "Pedro, you are Cristo's man. I won't touch you."

Pedro let out a long breath.

The middle-aged man continued, “But you were the one who led those people to me, right?”

Pedro wanted to say no.

In fact, he saw it.

The gang of hooded men had a personal vendetta against Hernan, so they targeted Hernan's small treasury, but Pedro didn't dare to say a word at this moment.

"Five million. I don't care how you do it. Once you make up this money, you can continue to live a life of luxury in Rio." said the middle-aged man.

Pedro's face turned black and he cursed Hernan for being too dark.

The small treasury just now had a maximum of three or four million US dollars, but now it has directly become five million

He stammered, "Sir, this..."

The middle-aged man raised his hand: "If you have any objections, you can just leave."

Pedro's forehead was sweating. He hesitated for a long time and said through gritted teeth: "Yes, yes, Mr. Hernan, I will make up the money."

The middle-aged man nodded, turned around and said to his two bodyguards: "Find Dominic and Brian for me, I want them dead..."

Pedro silently left the room, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked away with a bitter look on his face.

After listening to the message sent back by the drone for a while, Luke also left.

This middle-aged man is Hernan Reyes, a famous gangster in Rio, who is also involved in various underground transactions in Rio, including but not limited to illegal drugs, weapons, pornography, and smuggling.

This big guy has been on Luke's blacklist for a long time, but now is not the time to deal with him.

Luke retracted the drone and retreated quietly.

Things have to come first, so he should deal with Christopher's issue first.

Following the tracker, he returned to the Wild Bush Pub.

Just when he was thinking about whether to sneak in and capture Pedro to force a confession, he found that Pedro came out again.

Pedro was carrying a large bag in his hand, and he got into a car with two bodyguards and left the Wild Jungle Bar.

Luke's mind moved: Is this... raising money

Twenty minutes later, Luke looked at a small villa not far away. Two bodyguards were guarding the door of the villa.

Pedro has entered the villa.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

A figure walked through Pedro's backyard, pushed open a small iron door hidden in the corner, and entered the courtyard next door.

Then, the man walked to the basement entrance next to the bungalow next door, looked around, opened the basement door and went in.

Luke laughed, and his figure moved and disappeared on the roof.

In the basement, Pedro used an iron rod to block the basement door, walked around all kinds of debris, walked to a corner, opened the buckle, and pushed a cabinet to the side.

The door of a half-person-high safe was revealed.

With trembling hands, he entered the password, opened the cabinet door, and looked at the bags of money inside for a while before taking them out.

As he took the money, he muttered, "This is all my money, my hard-earned money!"

Then, he stopped moving with a stiff expression.

A cold blade quietly pressed against his throat, and a sweet female voice sounded behind him: "No, now it's my hard-earned money."

Later, a muffled scream was heard in the basement.

After getting the information he wanted, Luke restored everything in the basement to its original state, as if no one had been there.

He leisurely slipped into the yard next door and took the big bag of money from Pedro's bedroom. The two bodyguards were also pulled into the villa by two hands.

"Is it so easy to make money in Rio?" Luke sighed half an hour later as he strolled down the mountain road.

Pedro secretly bought the bungalow next to his villa, let it fall into disrepair, and only used its basement as a secret treasury.

In that safe, in addition to the cash deposit that Pedro was about to hand over, there was also a small amount of gold and gems.

The cash alone is worth two million US dollars, and the gold and gems are worth three to five hundred thousand US dollars.

The bag in Pedro's bedroom contained 700,000 or 800,000 US dollars, which was the business money temporarily taken from the Wild Jungle Bar and belonged to Cristo.

Obviously, Pedro could no longer care about much under Hernan's threat.

Perhaps, he had other ways to fool Christo temporarily, and then find a way to make up for the loss.

The fact that Pedro did not touch the gold and gems in the safe proves that this guy has other hidden goods.

After interrogation, Luke found out that it was a large sum of cash kept in a private safe in a bank, about two million US dollars.

Pedro's wealth was enough to barely pay back Hernan's money, which might be the reason why Hernan let him go.

The guard leader obviously had little money, so Hernan killed him without hesitation.

Money is what Hernan values.

Of course, all of these are now in Luke's storage space.

The only thing Luke didn't plan to touch was the money in the private safe in the bank. He might as well keep it as a backup plan.

Feeling the things in the storage space, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's too small."

Even before coming here, he had already put most of the black money and gold in some secret places in Los Angeles, and the newly received cash also took up a large part of the storage space.
