America: I'm really not crazy

Chapter 115 Unique Robbery Methods

Li Wei knew he had succeeded, but he was also keenly aware that these people were following not him as a person, but the future he had painted.

Or, to be more precise, it's the expectation of "making a lot of money".

This expectation is like feeding a wolf.

If fed enough and given proper "education," a "wolf" will become a "dog."

Conversely, if a "dog" is not fed, it may turn into a "wolf" and eat its owner.

Li Wei had to satisfy these "hungry wolves" with "large quantities" and "quickly and efficiently".

And what in this world is more profitable than "robbery" besides "monopoly"?

So, after nightfall, Li Wei led these people directly to the Platinum Star, which was docked at the pier.

"Cryptocurrency, financial fraud, and money laundering, along with some gambling business."

"Miami has twelve active gangs, and the other eleven combined probably don't have as much cash flow as this one."

"And they are all old banknotes with non-consecutive serial numbers."

"Is there a better 'fat sheep' than this?"

Li Wei stood in the shadows of the dock, explaining to these "illiterate" people why they had chosen this place.

David raised his hand like a schoolchild, requesting the right to ask a question.

Li Wei glanced at him, but instead of shooting down the questioner like David had done, he nodded, granting him the right to speak.

"Boss! I'm not trying to question you, but as your subordinate, I'm just reminding you... the security on the Platinum Star is not easy to deal with. As far as I know, many of them are retired military personnel, and since they joined Boss Tessa, their equipment and treatment have improved significantly."

"You're so strong, you can definitely handle it, but we might not be able to."

After saying that, David began to observe Levi's reaction.

Li Wei frowned slightly.

It seems this "new boss" isn't as formidable as people thought... He actually has reservations about not being able to mess with people.

The idea popped into his mind uncontrollably, and his once dying ambition began to reignite.

Even more so than ever before.

David couldn't help but imagine how much he could do if he had that "fireball magic" that could be fired from a gun.

But the reason Levi frowned was completely different from what David imagined.

Is the Platinum Star a property of Tessa?

Li Wei hadn't expected this.

Now, he needs to confirm it.

"So, is the Platinum Star still doing its 'old business'?"

David was taken aback, but he quickly realized that this "new boss" was probably trying to save face for himself.

Since that's the case... then let's grant his wish.

We must undermine his authority and regain control!

David made this plan in his mind, and then gave a verbal reply.

"Yes, or rather, they have never abandoned their 'old profession'."

Li Wei's brows relaxed.

"Then there's nothing to worry about, let's go."

David was stunned by Levi's words again, but when he saw Levi walk away, he decided to follow.

He needs to see if this "new boss" really has the ability or is just bragging.

Li Wei, however, was thinking about something else.

It turns out that the things "friends" do are not necessarily the same as those depicted in the comic book left behind in his "Alchemy Workshop," which is another way of expressing "shared ideals."

"Friends"...so this is such a complicated thing.

It seems I should go back and read some books about "friends" to truly understand what this concept is all about.

Seeing David's reaction, the other four quickly followed.

This time, Levi didn't bring all his men. Instead, he left the vast majority of them with Esther to "guard the house," while he moved the things he wanted from the Palm Motel to his "alchemy workshop."

At this moment, Li Wei had already arrived at the escalator of the Platinum Star.

Just as David and his men reached into their coats, preparing to draw their guns and carry out the robbery, the guards by the escalator held assault rifles, pressed their earpieces, and were ready to start a fight and call for help at any moment.

Li Wei spoke up.

"Hello, is it possible to board the ship first and buy a ticket later?"

The guards and David were all taken aback.

However, the guards were clearly more skilled and reacted first.

"I'm sorry, sir, we operate on a membership system. To board the ship, you must be introduced by a current member, not by a ticket."

The guard politely but curtly expressed his refusal.

Li Wei laughed.

"Simpler than I thought...it seems we don't need to execute 'Plan B'."

Before anyone could react to what "Plan B" was, Li Wei raised his hand and stopped a young man who was about to board the ship.

"Hello, may I ask if you could be my referrer?"

The young man was taken aback, and after a moment of contemplation, he tentatively asked a question.

"Sir, I don't seem to... know you?"

Li Wei didn't offer any explanation; he simply extended his hand.

"Li Wei, may I ask your name?"

Out of politeness, the young man instinctively shook Li Wei's hand and introduced himself.

"Hello, Drake Fuller."

Levi released Drake's hand, a broad smile on his face.

"Now we know each other."

Li Wei's actions stunned everyone present once again, and even many people who were about to board the ship stopped and looked over.

Finally, Drake was the first to react.

He smiled somewhat helplessly.

"Mr. Li Wei, now that we know each other, could you tell me why you want to board this ship?"

Li Wei's answer was sincere and simple.

"Work, earn money."

But Drake raised an eyebrow.

He didn't respond to Li Wei immediately, but instead glanced at the guard.

The guard instantly understood Drake's intention and silently shook his head at him.

Drake shrugged.

"Well, Mr. Levi, you don't seem to be a crew member on board."

Then, Drake shrugged, looking like he couldn't help.

"Next time you lie, please at least come up with a plausible reason, otherwise I'll think you're treating me like an idiot."

After saying that, Drake ignored Levi, said "Excuse me" and walked past Levi to prepare to board the ship.

As the excitement subsided, the flow of people boarding the ship began to resume.

At that moment, Li Wei's voice suddenly came from behind Drake.

"Drek, did I say I was a crew member on the ship?"

Drake stopped in his tracks.

He thought for a moment, then turned his head away.

Drake happened to see Levi smiling at him.

"You certainly didn't say that, so my accusation is false, and I apologize to you."

"sorry."

Drake nodded slightly in acknowledgment, demonstrating his good manners.

Then he asked a follow-up question.

"So, may I ask, what is your job, and how do you plan to earn money?"

Li Wei's answer was equally simple.

"Gamble, and then, like a robbery, win the last coin on the Platinum Star."
