?49: Chapter 47: Something Seems Right Everywhere 49: Chapter 47: Something Seems Right Everywhere The money was wrapped in plastic film, one hundred thousand in a small pack, one million in a big pack.

    Although it was all old bills, it was still neatly pressed, making it easy and fast to transport.

    Gao Yi could see clearly, but unfortunately, he could only look, not touch.

    Now he understood why Sean didn’t want a dime, because getting this money really meant risking one’s life.

    “Prepare to retreat!

    Prepare to retreat!”

    When the leader of the Sand Scorpion shouted to retreat, the gunfire had already thinned out to the point where one could risk dashing out, but bullets still sporadically fell around.

    The Sand Scorpions spread out, forming a dumbbell shape, most of them holding guns to address threats from both ends of the street, with four people in the middle raising guns towards both sides of the street.

    “Bring the bodies!”

    The leader of the Sand Scorpion still yelled, two men holstered their guns, they quickly ran towards a companion who had been shot in the face, lifting the body and throwing it into the pickup truck filled with money.

    So far, Sand Scorpion had lost two men.

    After two bodies were thrown into the truck, the two men tasked with collecting the bodies whispered, “Boss, it’s done!”

    The leader of the Sand Scorpion kept firing shots from time to time, then he stood up and said, “Retreat!”

    Sean took a deep breath and said to Gao Yi, “Keep up!”

    Sean ran to the door, bent over, and then saw Gao Yi bending over to pick up a gun on the ground as soon as he exited; he suddenly pushed him aside.

    “Are you crazy!”

    Gao Yi gave up on picking up the gun; Sean pulled him by the arm to a position alongside the wall on one side of the street.

    Baffled, Gao Yi listened as Sean whispered, “If you jump out attempting to stop this crew from leaving, are you going to shoot at the threatening or non-threatening first?”

    “Uh…”

    The logic was simple, but Gao Yi felt uneasy without a weapon in hand.

    Sean whispered again, “Even if you had a gun, could you shoot accurately?”

    Gao Yi didn’t hesitate anymore; he started running with Sean.

    If Sean sped up, he sped up, and if Sean slowed down, he slowed down.

    The Sand Scorpions didn’t just drive off; they moved slowly around the money-filled pickup with sixteen men in total.

    For the first time, Gao Yi had an immersive observation of a real battle, a street fight.

    Fortunately, it was a disorderly battle after Suleyman’s death because if Suleyman’s men had fought the Sand Scorpion Mercenary Group with full force, none of them would have had a chance to leave.

    But Franciska’s men were trying to escape; they had no need to fight to the end.

    Meanwhile, Suleyman’s men were still in chaos, their attacks were not coordinated.

    The leader of the Sand Scorpion wore a white shirt, NB sneakers, shorts, and a black baseball cap, with a bullet-proof vest over the shirt.

    He didn’t look very formal, but he was very capable.

    The others dressed diversely, wearing various outfits; the only commonality was that everyone wore bullet-proof vests, and most had helmets.

    It was unclear whether the Sand Scorpions dressed this way for disguise or rush.

    Scattered attacks couldn’t stop the Sand Scorpion’s breakout retreat; even if someone popped out and fired a shot, they would be immediately suppressed by the Sand Scorpions.

    Overall, the retreat went smoothly, sea??h thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Gao Yi also noticed something else – the police cars that were there at the start had now disappeared.

    All the police cars left, and neither party in the engagement, including the opportunistic Sand Scorpion Mercenary Group, attacked the police cars.

    The police also didn’t join any side.

    At the outset of the chaos, once it was confirmed that Suleyman was dead, the police quickly left.

    After all, with Suleyman dead, it was unclear who the next underground king of Mexicali would be.

    It was best for the police to sit back and watch, and later come out to beat up the losing side.

    The retreat was safe and smooth up to the area previously blocked by Suleyman’s men with vehicles, but by then the road had been cleared, and a few bodies lay scattered on the ground.

    Gao Yi followed for a few hundred meters.

    Though there were occasional sniper shots, as Sean said, those who jumped out to shoot did not fire at him and Sean.

    The threat level was much lower.

    As for revenge, firstly, it depended on whether Suleyman’s men had the intention, and even if someone wanted to avenge Suleyman, they couldn’t figure out the identity of the Sand Scorpion Mercenary Group.

    Calling in a bunch of people to muddy the waters, making Suleyman’s Hachita Group unsure of who the main opponent was, then fleeing in the confusion wasn’t particularly clever, but it surely required an excellent understanding of Mexicali’s situation.

    The leader of the Sand Scorpion raised his hand and loudly said, “Prepare the vehicles, pull out…”

    Suddenly, a black ball was thrown onto the street, exploding with a boom the moment it hit the asphalt.

    “Hand Grenade!”

    Just when they thought they were safe and could retreat peacefully, suddenly, several people wrapped entirely in black emerged from the alleyways on both sides of the still-seeming tranquil street.

    Sean quickly pulled Gao Yi down and whispered, “Get down!”

    Gao Yi immediately lay flat on the ground.

    First, eight people appeared along both sides of the street, throwing more than a dozen hand grenades, then firing forcefully at the Sand Scorpions.

    Dressed in black combat suits, black helmets, black tactical vests, and their faces covered with black coverings, they carried a dazzling array of equipment, looking like elite soldiers only seen in movies.
