“What are you thinking! I’m still the same as before, I only like women!”
Derek slapped Damir on the head: “However, recently a big figure sent someone to hint to our Black Fire Gang that if we can find a sufficiently pretty boy and send him over, in the future he will truly cooperate with our Black Fire Gang and bring us more benefits.”
“Could it be that you are talking about Mr. Epstein?”
Damir seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
“Right! Mr. Epstein is one of the top wealthy men in the Country, and he has connections in both political and business circles. In the future, as long as he can take care of us a little, the business of our Black Fire Gang will have greater development.”
“Then I will go over immediately and tie this kid from the photo over!”
Damir couldn’t wait to get up and leave.
“Wait… Your temper is still so hasty!”
Derek spoke to stop him, with a somewhat dissatisfied tone: “Before taking action, shouldn’t you investigate this kid’s identity and background first? Besides, the Police have been keeping a close eye on us all these years, and when you damn well take action, you must be a little more careful, absolutely not letting anyone catch any evidence!”
The Black Fire Gang has never provoked existences they cannot afford to provoke, and most of their targets for action are out-of-town tourists, not easily acting against locals, which is why they haven’t been caught by the Police with evidence all these years.
Mark did not know that he had already become someone else’s target.
Over the next two days, he and Rosalie went to the theater to shoot every day.
Relying on the two’s excellent acting skills, the crew’s filming progress was very fast.
According to Caleb’s estimation, it might only take three weeks to finish filming.
After all, this was just a low-budget movie, and it wouldn’t consume too much time to begin with.
This day, Mark was in the hotel room listening to Roger report today’s work.
“Boss, the number of people who bought the game today is 21,680. The original revenue should have been 216,800 dollars, but one of the players directly mailed you a money order of 1 million dollars, specially noting that it was a tip for you…”
Roger’s voice even carried a slight tremor from excitement.
“Oh? Who is so wealthy and generous?”
Mark was also startled.
Although the sales of Stardew Valley were increasing day by day, 1 million dollars was still a very large number for him right now.
“The other party didn’t leave a name or email address; it was mailed anonymously.”
Roger was also a bit puzzled; after all, if no email address was left, how could they issue the registration code to the other party? Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
“Anonymous?”
Mark’s brain ran quickly, and he soon guessed the other party’s identity.
The other party didn’t need a registration code, most likely because they cracked his charging mechanism.
There were not many in the entire Country who could do this, coupled with such a generous handwriting of rewarding 1 million dollars, the only person Mark could think of was the wealthy and bold Tony Stark.
“It seems Stardew Valley is really going to be a hit, now even Tony Stark is playing this game.”
Mark smiled and accepted the 1 million dollar tip from the other party with peace of mind.
Anyway, this money was just a drop in the bucket for Tony Stark, and he was just short of money!
“After going back, let’s upgrade the personal-level supercomputer that stores Alice’s main body to an enterprise-level supercomputer!”
Looking at the more than 2 million funds in his bank card, Mark made a decision in his heart.
He had previously added code to Alice to automatically crawl and analyze online information during idle time.
As time passed, Alice’s core code now exceeded 500G, and it was still expanding at a speed of tens of Gs every day.
The current personal-level supercomputer was gradually unable to meet Alice’s computing power demands.
“Suspicious target detected, suspicious target detected!”
Just at this moment, Alice, who had sent out a drone to patrol outside, issued an alarm to Mark.
At the same time, a high-definition picture was projected by her onto the monitor in front of Mark.
It showed a White youth standing at the window position of an apartment room, holding binoculars and looking towards the direction of the hotel where Mark was located.
Originally Mark didn’t think that the other party’s target would be himself.
After all, there were so many people living in the hotel, and neither Rosalie nor he had had any major conflicts with people on the surface.
But noticing that the binoculars in the other party’s hand seemed to be aimed precisely at his own floor, Mark instantly raised his vigilance.
“Alice, enlarge his face!”
Mark gave an order to Alice.
The high-definition enlarged face of the White youth quickly appeared on the monitor.
“It really might be coming for me or our entire crew!” This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
Seeing the other party’s appearance clearly, Mark’s expression sank.
Relying on his strong memory, Mark instantly recognized that it was this White youth who had led a group of gangsters to the crew two days ago to extort protection money.
Now that the other party used binoculars to spy on the floor where the crew members lived, Mark didn’t think this was just a coincidence!
“Papapa…”
Mark sat in front of the computer and quickly hammered the keyboard, soon invading the network database of the local housing administration.
To reduce exposing his hacker identity, he had already decided to use hacking techniques as little as possible.
But now that he might be in danger, Mark certainly wouldn’t scruple so much anymore.
Entering the room number where the White youth was, Mark quickly found out the identity of the homeowner—Damir Royce.
The avatar on the homeowner’s identity information was the White man who was observing them with binoculars.
“Alice, deeply query all information about Damir Royce and the gang behind him via the network.”
After more than ten minutes of deep retrieval, Alice quickly found out the information Mark needed.
“Damir Royce, Captain of the Black Fire Gang, was once imprisoned for three years due to a violent assault incident, and after being released, he was prosecuted by the New York district prosecutor on multiple charges such as rape, murder, drug trafficking, and illegal detention, but was later released due to insufficient evidence.”
“The Black Fire Gang, whose sphere of influence includes two blocks: South Lake Street and Oakland Street, mainly deals in drug trafficking, pornography transactions, and human trafficking. The Black Fire Gang has been prosecuted multiple times by the district prosecutor, but due to insufficient evidence, or ordinary members taking the blame, the core personnel have not suffered losses.”
After seeing that the main business of the Black Fire Gang was human trafficking, Mark was already able to confirm that the other party had targeted their crew.
After all, in their crew, there were many young and beautiful women.
And coming from afar from Los Angeles, unfamiliar with the place, they were just easy targets to attack.
At this time Mark didn’t know that he was now the primary target of the Black Fire Gang.
“Now that the other party’s identity and target have been determined, what should we do next?”
Mark pondered the response method.
In fact, evacuating New York immediately after discovering the danger and taking a plane back to Los Angeles was also a good choice.
Compensating the crew’s penalty for breach of contract was not something Mark couldn’t afford.
But Rosalie had always wanted to be a star, and now that she had finally taken the first step, she definitely wouldn’t be reconciled to leaving just like that.
Besides, the Black Fire Gang was just a mere gang, and Mark wouldn’t run away in panic without even fighting the other party yet.
