"What is this?"

Mia looked at the strange food on the plate. It looked like a tomato had been peeled, cut in half, and stuffed with some kind of sauce.

“They say this is a traditional Monaco delicacy called Tomates à la Monegasque!”

Dominic Toledo said somewhat uncertainly.

This thing was recommended to him by someone in the restaurant, and it costs seven dollars per serving, but he bought it because the portion was big!

Mia took one in her hand and tasted it.

"It seems to be a stuffed tomato, with tomatoes, boiled eggs, tuna, mustard, and mayonnaise. But it tastes really good. Laiti, try it!"

Mia took a bite and found it tasted really good, so she quickly recommended it to her sister-in-law.

Lai Di looked at the peeled, rotten tomatoes, picked one up doubtfully, and after taking a bite, his brows immediately relaxed.

Not as bad as imagined!

In the waiting room, Dominic Toledo finished his portion of fried snacks, stood there with a large glass of iced cola, looking at the people in the waiting room, and at the boarding pass number displayed on the big screen in the waiting room.

He looked down at his boarding pass. According to the order of the boarding pass numbers, it would take at least another hour for them to get in line.

Just as Toledo finished drinking all the iced cola and was considering whether to pour the ice cubes into his mouth.

The chaos of the crowd attracted his attention and he looked towards the door of the waiting room.

Seven or eight bodyguards in black came into the transfer room, escorting a few people.

Seeing these well-trained bodyguards wearing black suits and headsets, many people retreated to both sides, creating a clear passage in the crowded waiting room.

“Don’t they have to wait in line?”

Mia and Lai Di heard the noise and stood up to watch the fun.

Watching these bodyguards surrounding an Asian man in a white suit and his three female companions, they walked towards the helicopter pad outside without any stopping.

She couldn't help but wonder.

She looked through the transparent glass at the three helicopters that had been waiting on the tarmac for a long time and had not taken off yet. After these people boarded, their propellers turned and they drove away from the airport.

Not only Mia saw this scene, but many passengers near the windows of the waiting room also saw it.

People who can travel across borders are at least middle class, and for them, taking a plane is no different from taking a taxi.

Many of them are VIP customers of the airline.

When the flight was crowded and everyone had to queue, these people were somewhat dissatisfied, but it was understandable after all and at most they just complained privately.

But now someone broke the rules and the waiting room suddenly became noisy.

Especially those in the VIP lounge.

Although they were VIPs, with more than twenty people crowding into a VIP room, there was naturally no difference between this VIP room and the outside world.

The entire waiting room was in an uproar, and the noise soon alarmed the airport.

Several French airport police came out to maintain order, and a black man who seemed to be the airport leader hurried to the waiting room after hearing the news.

After asking several passengers for their opinions, the black supervisor at the airport quickly explained the situation to people in the waiting room through the airport's loudspeaker.

“The gentleman just now is a shareholder of Airbus Helicopters, and the three helicopters parked on the apron are also Airbus Helicopters aircraft.

This company has been cooperating with our airport for many years, and these aprons are also leased by them all year round. There are no other problems.

Ladies and Gentlemen, considering the traffic congestion at the airport, we have temporarily added 15 helicopters to Monaco.

We hope everyone will be patient and we at the airport wish all passengers a pleasant trip in Monaco!"

The black supervisor at the airport quickly calmed down the passengers in the terminal hall after a series of verbal attacks.

He left a few airport police officers at the scene to maintain order, and he took two airport employees carrying gift boxes into the VIP lounge!

… … …

"It's great to be rich!" Mia noticed the gift bags held by several airport employees with the Givenchy logo on them, which made her sigh.

"Don't worry, Mia, we will have money soon, as long as we win this game!"

Dominic Toledo pounded his chest and assured his sister.

"That's right, Toledo. If we win this game, we'll be rich soon!"

A voice came from behind Toledo.

Dominic Toledo turned around and looked at Xincha who appeared behind him at some point:

"You're late, man!"

Xincha was wearing trendy branded clothes, sneakers co-branded with a big-name celebrity, and a hat on his head, looking like a hip-hop singer.

"Don't mention it. I don't know which bastard chartered a plane from New York to here, and made me late for my flight!"

While complaining, Xincha took out a small plastic bag from the bag in his hand. Inside was rolls of US dollars, about seven or eight rolls.

"Here is $20,000, which is my initial investment. When you get to Monaco, use it to buy some things for your girlfriend and our sister. Keep calm and don't feel any psychological pressure!"

Dominic Toledo hesitated for a moment before taking the money and handing it to his girlfriend Letty.

Because of the investment in the auto repair shop, he is not well off now, and he even once thought of gathering people to do something big.

He had it all planned out, planning to rob the oil company's tanker truck.

It is enough for them to live freely for a long time, but once they are caught, they will have more evidence on their record.

Xincha said he would cover all expenses for this trip to Monaco, but since they were here, he couldn't let Laidi and Mia make a wasted trip.

Monaco is a world-famous tourist city.

… …

"You must be Mia, right? When I came in just now, I saw the airport attendants delivering things to the VIP room, so I took two sets. They were all women's cosmetics, which I don't need. Come on, each of you gets one set!"

Seeing Toledo taking the money, Xincha smiled happily.

He took two gift bags from the attendant behind him. They looked exactly the same as the ones the airport waiter had just given them, but they were more exquisite.

"No, I can't have that! That's too presumptuous!" Mia waved her hands to refuse.

And Lai Di looked at her man!

"Take it!" Dominic Toledo said to the two of them, and at the same time said to Xincha: "Don't worry, I won't let your investment go to waste! The Toledo family will repay a favor!"

"I believe in your driving skills, Toledo. It doesn't matter if you can't win the championship this time. Like I said, there will always be a place for you in the New York Underground Racing!"

After Xincha finished speaking, he took three boarding passes from the follower and distributed them to the three people.

"Let's go, let's line up to board the plane!"

Mia looked at the number on the boarding pass that had jumped up a lot, and looked at Xincha with some confusion:

“How did you do that!?”

Xincha stretched out his hand and held up the big gold chain in front of him: "This is the power of money that our big boss always talks about!"

… … …

Iceland!

Trevor Anderson is also experiencing the power of money and power.

When he found the old mine cave buried by rubble and covered with snow through the strong magnetic field terrain.

Two assembled devices, similar to large tunnel boring machines, were aimed at the ground and started digging and cutting.

The sharp alloy rotating drill, combined with the powerful laser cutter, quickly dug a circular hole with a diameter of five or six meters in the ground.

A powerful laser cutter cuts along the diameter of the circular hole.

The drill, as thick as a human waist, penetrated five or six meters underground, followed by a slight vibration.

The engineer in charge of operating the machine pulled the drill bit out again.

Several blasting experts began to accurately load explosives into the drill hole!

After the explosives are installed at a fixed point through the telescopic camera probe, as the blaster presses the blaster, a muffled thunder-like explosion is heard, accompanied by a crackling sound of rocks breaking.

When the smoke cleared, several veteran miners checked the fractures of the rock formations through a telescopic camera.

He made an OK gesture to the construction site manager on the side.

Four military helicopters hovered in the sky and dropped steel cables. Several miners stepped forward and nailed a wedge of the cable into the rock above the round hole.
