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

Ding Ze searched for quite a while before finally finding the place.

I got off the bus and took a look.

The hotel, though old, was not small in size, with six floors and a courtyard with a swimming pool.

Abruzzi was lying on a lounge chair by the pool, smoking a cigar, with his eyes closed, enjoying the Miami sunshine.

Hearing footsteps, Abruzzi opened his eyes and greeted Ding Ze, "Boss," when he saw Ding Ze and Mickey arrive.

Ding Ze smiled and said, "The place you found is quite nice."

“It’s good to stay for a while,” Abruzzi laughed. “Speaking of which, opening a hotel in Miami would be quite nice.”

“I think so too,” Ding Ze sat down on the chair next to him. “We can buy a piece of land and build a luxury hotel. That way, I won’t have to buy a house.”

“Haha,” Abruzzi nodded with a laugh, “that’s what I think too.”

The two chatted and laughed for a while.

"Are all the people settled?" Time was of the essence, and Ding Ze decided to get down to business.

“They’re all in the hotel,” Abruzzi replied.

Have you rested enough?

"That's enough, we need to get things done?"

“Hmm,” Ding Ze raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. “It’s 10:30 in the morning. Let’s set off as soon as possible. If we spend the night, we should be able to get things done before dawn tomorrow.”

“Okay, how many people do we need?” Abruzzi asked.

"Fifty."

Abruzzi was genuinely surprised and puzzled when he heard this, "Does digging for a treasure require so many people?"

Ding Ze nodded, "The treasure is buried in downtown New York City, and there's a lot of treasure there. We can only operate at night, so we only have one night."

Abruzzi was very familiar with New York, and upon hearing this, he was surprised again, but he could understand it nonetheless. "Should we bring more people?"

“No need, fifty people are basically enough... Any more might not be a good thing,” Ding Ze said. “I need these people to be trustworthy so that nothing goes wrong. You’ll have to choose them carefully.”

Abruzzi understood Ding Ze's meaning and became serious. "Okay, I'll have Ron go with you."

"it is good."

Abruzzi didn't waste any more words and quickly got up to get to work.

Ding Ze and Mickey didn't move and remained sitting by the pool.

Mickey overheard Ding Ze and Abruchi's conversation and was puzzled, unable to understand why Ding Ze was going to look for treasure again.

Where's the gangster stuff they were promised?

How did it suddenly turn into a treasure hunt?

"Boss, are we going to find treasure?" Mickey hesitated for a few seconds before asking in confusion.

"Yeah, without money, we can't do anything."

There's nothing wrong with that.

The issue is……

"Do you know where there's treasure?" Mickey asked again.

"know."

Mickey hesitated again, this time for a long time before finally speaking, "Since you know where the treasure is, why did you get into this line of work? Wouldn't it be better to dig up the treasure, exchange it for money, and enjoy life?"

This problem is not surprising.

Ding Ze slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. "That's so boring."

Mickey was stunned: "..."

Having a lot of money and enjoying life, is it boring?

Mickey fell into deep thought, pondering for a long time, even putting himself in Mickey's shoes.

at last.

It does seem pretty boring.

Nothing beats taking on the FBI, taking on Cartel, killing wherever you go!

3pm.

Because Vertex Airlines was still in Chicago, mobilizing them would take a long time, and they had a large number of people... Ding Ze, along with Mickey, Ron, and fifty of his men, took a regular passenger plane and arrived in New York.

On the plane, Ding Ze had already told Ron about their action plan after arriving in New York, as well as the equipment they would need.

So, after leaving the airport...

Ron didn't delay and quickly led fifty men to procure equipment.

Ding Ze, along with Mickey, took a taxi straight to the intersection of Broadway and Wall Street.

They need a lot of equipment for this operation.

A dozen heavy trucks, a large number of construction workers' uniforms, roadblocks, warning signs, walkie-talkies, hammers, flashlights, and guns and ammunition...

It will take a considerable amount of time to procure these equipment.

Fortunately, Ron has connections in New York, and if he's willing to spend the money, the time required can be greatly reduced.

In a blink of an eye.

5:20 PM.

All equipment is in place.

Following Ding Ze's prior instructions, Ron had his fifty men disperse near the intersection of Broadway and Wall Street to find places to eat. Then, he went alone to find Ding Ze and Mickey.

They arrived next to Ding Ze.

Ron handed the bag he was carrying to Ding Ze.

Ding Ze took the bag, took out a pistol and several magazines from the bag, handed them to Mickey, and whispered, "From now on, be careful, listen to my instructions, and don't hesitate when it's time to fire."

So many people have come this time, and they are about to face so many priceless treasures.

Besides, strictly speaking, those people were Abruzzi's men, not his... and most of them hadn't witnessed his methods firsthand, so they weren't necessarily afraid of him...

Ding Ze couldn't guarantee that none of those people would have any ulterior motives at that point.

After all, human nature is unpredictable.

Therefore, it's never a bad thing to prepare in advance.

Mickey carefully put away the pistol and magazine, nodded solemnly, and excitedly assured him, "Don't worry! I definitely won't dawdle!"

I've paid off my monthly pass debt—please give me more monthly passes, everyone!

Chapter 80 The Battle of New York, A Gift [6k]

Half past five.

Trinity Church closes on time.

Seeing this, Ding Ze took the cigarette out of his mouth and said, "Let's go around to the back door."

The back door was locked too, but that wasn't a problem.

In the blink of an eye, using his lock-picking skills, Ding Ze opened the back door and said to Ron, "Tell everyone to bring their tools and come in in batches, trying not to attract attention."

Ron nodded and did as he was told.

Ding Ze didn't wait around. He took Mickey and Ron and quickly entered the church, finding his way to the burial chamber on the side of the church.

One wall of the tomb chamber contains a row of recessed coffin niches.

The front of each coffin was sealed with cement.

According to the description in the movie "National Treasure", behind the coffin on the far right, there is no coffin, but a passageway, which is a shortcut directly connected to the treasure room.

Ding Ze smiled, decisively walked over, and kicked.

The cement is not thick and is quite old.

After kicking it a few times, Ding Ze successfully kicked a hole in the cement.

After that, things became much simpler.

It didn't take too long.

The entrance appears.

At this moment, the first group of men arrived with their tools.

"Let's get to work and widen this passage to a point where it's passable," Ding Ze said.

Without hesitation, the men got to work.

One hammer blow, two hammer blows, three hammer blows...

About half an hour later, with the efforts of fifty subordinates, the passage was successfully widened.
