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

If things were like this, there wouldn't be a single problem. These business owners would be laughing in their sleep, their happiness beyond words.

Naturally, for every person who laughs, there is someone who cries.

Many countries around the world are on the verge of tears.

The governments of these countries don't care about the lives or deaths of the gamblers; what they care about is the continuous outflow of their own currency.

"America! What vicious methods!!" The leaders said through gritted teeth, while simultaneously ordering their hired network personnel to desperately block the broadcasts.

Heh, no way! (End of Chapter)

Chapter 523 It's time to end.

Miami.

Ding Ze sat on the beach, facing the sea, enjoying the sea breeze, not paying much attention to things like world affairs.

For him, this world is a giant game.

But after playing this game for so long... well, money and politics have really lost their appeal.

'Perhaps, it's time to end this,' Ding Ze thought calmly as he exhaled a puff of smoke.

Janet, sitting next to Ding Ze, was truly intelligent. She sensed the difference in Ding Ze compared to usual, hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Ze turned to Janet and smiled, "It's nothing, but I am indeed thinking about something."

"Can you tell me about it?" Janet asked softly.

Ding Ze smiled brightly, "There's nothing I can't say. I'm thinking it's time to retire."

"Huh?" Janet was genuinely surprised by the sudden idea. "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

“I just feel like there’s no fun in it anymore,” Ding Ze said calmly. “How about we buy an island, build a self-sufficient paradise, and live there together?”

Janet blinked, stared at Ding Ze for a few seconds, and realized that Ding Ze wasn't joking but serious. So she smiled sweetly and said, "Of course."

Upon hearing this, Ding Ze threw away his cigarette butt and said, "Then it's settled."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Ze took out his phone and summoned [Samaritan], "Help me find an island suitable for retirement."

“Yes,” the Samaritan replied.

Janet watched this scene, and although she didn't think the idea was bad, she still couldn't understand why it had suddenly turned out this way.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Ding Ze noticed and asked with a smile.

Janet parted her lips slightly, "Really without any reason, you suddenly decided to retire?"

Ding Ze nodded, "Yes, what reason do I need? I'm just a little bit away from finishing what I want to do. After I finish, of course I can retire and enjoy life, right?"

Is that right?

Janet frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, then gave up and said, "Well, whatever you want, I'll always be there for you."

Upon hearing this, Ding Ze reached out and put his arm around Janet.

The two sat quietly, leaning against each other, facing the sea.

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

Days go by.

The information the Samaritans gathered about the black tree, about the Black Barrier tribe, was very limited.

This is normal, after all, this information is too far removed from modern times, and whether it exists or not, it is almost never stored on the Internet.

Ding Ze wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, the Longevity Club was also investigating, and he believed that with the Longevity Club's capabilities, taking a pragmatic approach would yield some results.

Time passes quickly.

That morning, under the guidance of [Samaritan], Ding Ze selected an island not too far from America, or rather, not too far from Miami.

Soon after, Ding Ze quickly took Janet out to sea, heading straight for the island, wanting to see for himself what was going on.

This island is quite large, and its ownership is in the hands of the United States... which means it belongs to Ding Ze.

Of course, some basic trading procedures still need to be followed, at least to keep a record, in case anything goes wrong later.

After all, the president of the United States changes every four years. If a new president doesn't honor his position after a few years, it will be very troublesome to deal with.

It didn't take too long.

Ding Ze and Janet got off the helicopter and landed on the beach.

This beach is relatively clean, but only relatively, because it's not always deserted... Every now and then, passing boats will stop here, and the people on board will go ashore to play.

Thinking about this...

Ding Ze couldn't help but chuckle, his mind drifting to some low-budget island horror movies.

Imagine that they live here in the future, and occasionally people come to the island to play. Then, they treat those people as prey and start a hunting operation.

How interesting.

Smiling, Ding Ze spoke up and told Janet his idea.

Janet smiled wryly after hearing this, "Mr. Ding, you're a bit of a pervert."

“Haha, Ms. Austin, you don’t understand this kind of fun,” Ding Ze laughed back.

The two walked barefoot on the beach for a while, without venturing further into the island... The island was too big to walk on, and it would be too tiring.

Moreover, there are no proper roads on the island at all.

Time flies.

The two boarded a helicopter and returned to Miami, back to the headquarters building.

Now that retirement planning has officially begun, it's time to organize the things that need to be done before retirement and then complete them one by one.

Let's leave the matter of those two giant eggs aside for now; that's a matter for the last time.

Beyond that, what else?

Oh right, some messy countries need to be dealt with; war is still coming... those who deserve to die must die.

Swish swish.

Ding Ze found paper and pen, and with swift, flowing strokes, he wrote a long, coherent piece.

*******

Egypt.

All five elders of the Longevity Club, including Snowwell Milden, came to an ancient pyramid that was not open to the public.

They received news that there were black trees depicted in the murals inside the pyramid, so they rushed over without wasting any time.

“Let’s go,” Snowwell Milden said, quite frustrated that he hadn’t made any major breakthroughs even after leaving the underground world for almost a month.

Without further ado, the four elders, including Stilwell, moved aside.

Not long after.

The five people successfully entered the pyramid.

The passageways inside the pyramids are actually quite narrow, creating a very oppressive atmosphere.

Snowwell Milden disliked this thing, and therefore, despite living for over a thousand years, he had only visited such places a handful of times.

Two local Egyptian experts were quietly leading the way.

As Stilwell followed, he took in the various sculptures that were everywhere with great interest.

To be honest, these sculptures are quite interesting.

“Milden, perhaps we should also make a place like this as our grave,” Stilwell said after looking around for a while.

Snowwell Milden was speechless upon hearing this. "And then what? You wait until you die, and then people come to see your corpse?"

Upon hearing this, Stilwell felt that this might not be a good idea, and scratched his head. "Uh, wouldn't that make it impossible to sleep peacefully? Let's forget about it, this isn't a good idea."

As they were talking, the two experts who were leading the way stopped.

We've arrived. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 524 The Pyramids

Inside an unnamed pyramid in Egypt.

The group stopped in front of a wall that was somewhat yellowish in color.

There were various very simple patterns on the wall... The patterns were very primitive, and because of the long time that had passed, they had faded somewhat.

Even so, the large tree in the picture is still easily recognizable.
