Chapter 171: Cardinals
"In the face of absolute strength, this kind of means that cannot be put on the table can only be proud for a while. If they can't beat Amo in the ring, then they can't change much other than being able to affect Amo's image in the short term. β
Carl Holden also looked out the window: "It's clear that they've put their hopes on your next round opponent, Cardio Rod. They don't have to beat you outright, as long as they can match you, they can save the image of Arcadis Sporting Goods. β
Li Mochen was absent-minded, whether it was Carl's discussion or the protesters outside the car window, he didn't pay attention to it at the moment. Only occasionally glance at the back of the bus.
His car, 'Otto I', was following behind the school bus, and Chu Siguo and the four outlaws were all on standby at the moment, keeping an eye on his mobile phone.
When he left the Bucksley police station, he told Li Mei that as long as there was news, he must call him as soon as possible. But so far, there has been no movement behind it.
It wasn't until he entered the gymnasium that Li Mochen felt the unusual heat here, and at the door of the stadium, there were two or three times more reporters surrounding him than before.
Then when he walked in and reported to the tournament committee, the stands in several directions were booed, and there were roars of "shady" and "shady" everywhere.
Li Mochen still didn't care much, and walked out again with a normal face. In the past, when he was a sword Taoran, he used to be alone against thousands of troops, and a scene like today's was not in his eyes at all.
Next up was to go to the Cardinals, where Dwight Payton had already applied for membership.
And not long after Li Mochen boarded his 'Otto I', the mobile phone finally rang.
The call was made by Li Mei, but then the voice that came from the microphone was the Director Cadillon: "Mr. Wildenstein? We have already inquired about Miss Harouelle." But we're sorry, but that's beyond our power and you'll have to find something else. β
Li Mochen's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Can you tell me who it is?"
"It's a little gang called 'Bayonets'. β
Kadilen's voice was full of apologies: "You probably haven't heard of them, but you must have heard of the name of the Bloody Hand in Atlanta, right? This Bayonet Gang is one of the subordinates of the Bloody Hand." We've pressured them to release them, but there's no intention of releasing them. They've even pulled all their hands out of Bucksley, and there's nothing we can do about it for the time being. β
"See, Bloody Hand Aren't you? Thanks, Director Kadilan!
After Li Mochen hung up the mobile phone, he looked at Carl Holden. The latter was also talking to someone, and after a few minutes, he smiled at Li Mochen with a relaxed expression: "Wait for the news, Cardillon has reported it to Mr. Peyton before this." There is also the Tianyan Detective Agency, after we learned about this incident, we also gave them an investigation commission by the way, and now it is basically certain that the person with the bayonet has done it. Mr. Peyton, he's already communicating with Antonio, the boss of the Blood Hand Party. It may take a while for the results to be available. I don't think that Antonio should have the guts to refuse Mr. Peyton. β
That's twenty minutes. It wasn't until their convoy pulled into a farm on the outskirts of North Town that Carl Holden's mobile phone rang.
After answering for a moment, his face became extremely ugly: "That Antonio, he said that we found the wrong person, and his subordinates have not heard of any 'Hazel'. The boss says don't worry, he's dealing with this. Antonio was prevaricating him, and I really don't know where this guy got the guts. A branch of the mafia actually dared to offend the Nathan military-industrial complex. β
Li Mochen couldn't help but take a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety and anger in his heart.
In the past, Tao Ran, the sword question, would not be unable to hold his breath, but after melting the soul, his cultivation in patience disappeared.
But Li Mochen still had to be patient, he knew that Dwight Payton would definitely do his best.
"Let's go in first!"
Carl Holden smiled wryly: "Maybe it will take three or five hours this time, we can't wait in the car? The Cardinals Club is only open on Fridays, and if you miss it, you will have to wait until next week." β
Li Mochen was already worried and annoyed at this time, and he had no intention of paying attention to anything else. But he knew Karl was right, and it wouldn't help if he waited here.
Li Mochen now also has a deeper understanding of the pain of lack of manpower and power, if he already has a part of the power at the moment, there is no need to rely too much on the Nathan Group.
And the magic weapons and magic materials in the Cardinal Club, as well as those outside the law, are exactly what Li Mochen is eager for now. This allows him to quickly convert the gold shield he puts in the bank into strength.
This time, Li Mochen also brought full bargaining chips, at this time, in addition to the six million gold shields distributed in the dark world, there were also three and a half million gold shields withdrawn in advance from the Naison Sports Group.
ββThis huge amount of money is enough for his wings to grow rapidly.
Sunrise's store plan has reached its limit, and the company's current structure maintains the daily operation of 11 stores, which is already running at full capacity.
Therefore, before cultivating more available manpower, Li Mochen does not plan to continue to increase the number of stores.
On the contrary, in terms of security, the group of personnel of Lee Tae-lai and the Collinson brothers was originally sufficient. But today's turmoil made him completely change his conservative thoughts.

If it weren't for someone to lead it, it would be hard for outsiders to imagine that Atlanta's famous Cardinals Club is located in such an inconspicuous farm.
Everything looks like a normal farm, with potholed roads and pungent smelling pig and cow sheds.
However, when Li Mochen, under the leadership of Carl, walked into an elevator hidden in the warehouse and came to ten meters underground, his eyes suddenly widened. A space that looks like a hotel lobby unfolds in front of his eyes.
"This is one of the four entrances to the Cardinals Club, and there are three others, behind the hill we just saw. It is said that there are also three secret entrances and exits that can be used for emergency evacuations, but the Cardinals Club has kept the locations of these three entrances and exits secret. This place, in fact, is located in the interior of the mountain. Originally a Cold War-era military base, it was bought by the Cardinals Club after the collapse of the Soviet Union and used as one of four daily activity venues. β
As Carl spoke, he brought Li Mochen to the front of the counter, ready to help him register as a member.
But at this time, Li Mochen stopped in place, looking ahead with eyes like an eagle.
