People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

Chapter 123 Everyone is in danger, and self-interest reigns supreme.

Ding Ze arrived outside the police station.

The same procedure was repeated, three lucky individuals were randomly selected, and then they left, heading towards the DEA's office building.

Once we get there, we'll do it all over again.

Of course, this time, Ding Ze made a slight change. Although it was still a random selection, Hank and Steve Gomez were excluded.

These two guys were quite interesting. It's a shame they turned into popsicles and died so inexplicably.

Everything went very smoothly.

After releasing the three DEA agents, Ding Ze drove away. Then, after waiting a short while, he called Comrade Liddell Eaton as previously agreed.

News of the incident at the police station and the DEA had already reached Liddell Eaton's ears.

At this moment, Liddell Eaton felt like his head was about to explode!

What kind of evil method is this?

How did Ding Ze of Gou Ri manage to kill so many people without ever showing himself?

Why did these people turn into popsicles?

No solution!

There is absolutely no solution!

Such mysterious and unpredictable methods of killing are simply impossible to defend against….

If Ding Ze continues killing like this...

Liddell Eaton could clearly see his family members being killed one after another, and then himself being killed...

Am I really going to die like this?

Liddell Eaton wasn't actually that afraid of death, but because of him, his family was killed, and then he died without knowing why.

Liddell Eaton couldn't accept that outcome; the thought made it difficult for him to breathe.

Just then, his personal cell phone rang.

As soon as Liddell Eaton saw the unfamiliar number on the screen, he knew it was Ding Ze calling, and immediately answered the call in a fit of rage.

"Don't you have any humanity at all?" Liddell Eaton really wanted to get to the bottom of this, and as soon as the call connected, he asked through gritted teeth.

Ding Ze was genuinely amused upon hearing this. "Mayor Eaton, there's no point in asking such a question. Do you think I'm inhuman? What about you then?"

"What you and everyone else in this country enjoy—money, status, freedom—was bought with the lives of countless foreigners?"

"Just because you didn't personally kill those foreigners, you think you have humanity?"

"Don't be so naive. This world is just a game, and I just happen to be a high-level player. Let's not talk about humanity or anything like that; it will only make me look down on you."

Liddell Eaton was taken aback, genuinely not expecting to hear such remarks.

next second.

Lidal Eaton, the mayor of Albuquerque, a member of the American community, and most importantly, a passionate lover of America, abruptly stood up, almost exploding, and roared in rebuttal, "You son of a bitch, you're a terrorist..."

Liddell Eaton roared for seven or eight seconds straight.

Ding Ze ignored him, lit a cigarette, and only spoke again when the shouting stopped coming from the phone, "Mayor Eaton, I didn't call to debate with you."

"What do you think of my proposal?"

"Your time is running out. The next victim will be your family."

Liddell Eaton: "!!!! If you dare touch my family, I'll make you pay with your life!!!"

Ding Ze laughed, ignoring the incompetent outburst. "Mayor Eaton, I'll call you again tomorrow. That will be your last chance. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer then. Bye."

With a smile, Ding Ze hung up the phone, destroyed the phone, and leisurely headed towards the mall.

When they arrived at the mall, Ding Ze picked out three relatively expensive gifts for the Walter family of three. After checking the time, he realized that after all the fuss, it was almost time to go back to the car wash and wait for dinner.

-

This evening.

Thick, dark clouds hung over the heads of all law enforcement officers in Albuquerque.

Three staff members, three police officers, and three DEA agents in the city hall lost their lives just like that…

Everyone is in danger!

Many of them, without exaggeration, couldn't wait to go home, pack their things, and escape Albuquerque.

Unfortunately, the lockdown order is still in effect, and no one can leave... at least, not through normal channels.

In the mayor's office.

The group, including the police chief, who had been summoned by Liddell Eaton that morning, gathered again and, one by one, their faces flushed, discussed countermeasures.

Liddell Eaton sat in his chair, silent.

He had actually thought about sending his family away on a plane long ago, but unfortunately, he couldn't do it!

He's the mayor; if he does that, it's all over!

When the time came, to be honest, he didn't know what to do.

Waiting for more FBI agents to arrive and provide support?

By noon, the FBI Salt Lake City office had sent almost all of its agents over.

But what was the result after an afternoon?

Ding Ze still killed nine people.

Those FBI agents had absolutely no leads.

What if we send another hundred FBI agents?

Even if Ding Ze is eventually caught... his family will probably have already been killed by him...

then.

Liddell Eaton calmed down and, for the first time, seriously considered Ding Ze's proposal.

He is a politician, and a mature one at that.

Politics is always dirty.

He's not some noble person at all.

So, given the circumstances, why should he risk losing his entire family to continue fighting Ding Ze? Fighting a battle that is almost impossible to win?

Haha, impossible!

To be honest, the arrest of Ding Ze was an FBI mission!

Ultimately, Ding Ze's crimes stemmed from the FBI's incompetence.

Why should he bear the consequences of his family being killed?

What's more.

You see, if you agree to Ding Ze's suggestion, cooperate in staging that scene, and even slightly modify it—for example, personally leading the team, personally wielding a shotgun, and taking down Ding Ze…

Think about it!

This is how the headlines of major newspapers and television stations across the country are displayed...

Albuquerque Mayor Liddell Eaton, with unwavering courage, killed FBI-wanted fugitive Ding Ze…

How much honor will he gain from this?

After that, with a little more maneuvering, what difficulty would it be to enter Washington?

Liddell Eaton thought about it in silence.

Admittedly, he still hates Ding Ze to the core, and if given the chance, he would not hesitate to kill Ding Ze.

However, despite his hatred, it didn't diminish his interest in Ding Ze's proposal.

After all, this is America, where capital reigns supreme, and capital is ruthless, driven only by profit.

As long as the benefits are sufficient, one second the two sides can be chatting and laughing, and the next second they can smash each other's brains out.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Thinking it over, Liddell Eaton calmed down completely and basically made a decision.

**************

6:20 pm.

“Mr. Anderson, let’s go,” Walter said to Ding Ze.

Ding Ze nodded.

The two drove their own cars, one in front of the other, towards Walter's house.
