Watching the figures follow Danny into the distance, Reuben's legs, which had been trembling for a long while, finally slowly recovered.
He pulled a silk handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
However, he felt the gazes of his companions falling upon him.
Reuben's face flushed with shame, and he felt the urge to lash out with a few scolding words.
But Danny and the others had seen his pathetic state just now.
They had even seen him under the threat of that blood-stained dagger.
He had been forced to call his people and have sixty million us dollars in cash transferred from his bank account to a designated account.
Thinking about these humiliating events, Reuben wished he could dig a hole and jump into it right then and there.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about getting revenge later.
But for some reason, Reuben thought back to the other man's decisiveness and the threat delivered in such a flat tone.
For a moment, he truly felt a bit cowed.
He could only bark out angrily, "What are you looking at!"
Then, with a cold snort, he left without looking back.
Not until Reuben's figure disappeared through the warehouse door did the atmosphere change.
Inside the warehouse, the members of Danny's team looked at each other and smiles broke out on their faces.
"Come on, let's go take a look."
Turk said to his brother Virgil; they were biological brothers and were both very skilled in car modification.
The two brothers weren't afraid of trouble. Although they hadn't been targeted much by Reuben's sarcasm before, they had no liking for this casino owner who acted all high and mighty just because he had some stinking money.
Basher Tarr was a bit worried. He was the weapons expert of the team, responsible for providing explosives for the entire operation.
"Will Reuben retaliate against that kid? He did swindle sixty million us dollars out of him, after all."
Thinking of how Reuben had reluctantly transferred sixty million to the other's bank account under the threat of a knife just now,
the whole group couldn't help but swallow hard. That was sixty million—several times higher than the reward they would each receive after the success of this operation.
"Yen, that guy seems to be just like you."
The hacker Livingston called out to the lean-framed Yen.
Yen was from China and had been recruited by Danny and Rusty while he was performing in the US with a circus.
When they convinced the agile Yen to join the heist team, besides promising him a share of at least ten million us dollars after the operation succeeded,
they also promised to help him secure a Green Card!
Yen looked with some longing at Hunter, who had already followed Danny and Rusty to a corner of the warehouse to discuss their cooperation.
He had been practicing circus performances since childhood; his movements were more flexible than an average person's, and his strength was not small.
But Yen couldn't possibly take down so many people as easily as Hunter did.
"I don't know!"
His English wasn't very good, so he spoke in Chinese.
In his heart, however, he had made up his mind to get Hunter's contact information to see if they could become friends later—or better yet, to latch onto this powerful figure.
Back in China, Yen had dated several girlfriends, but all of them eventually abandoned him because they looked down on his height.
The worst one had clearly promised to marry him as long as he bought a matrimonial home.
In the end, that woman not only squandered the money he earned from dangerous circus performances but was also dumped after being tricked into bed for free by some tall, handsome, rich guy.
But that disgusting woman then turned around and hooked up with another wealthy man.
After being abandoned, Yen came to understand the nature of women.
He swore he would make big money and make those women who looked down on him come crawling back to lick his boots.
Therefore, in Danny's heist team, Yen was the one with the strongest desire for money.
Because of this, he voluntarily took on the most dangerous parts of the theft.
Ignoring them for a moment, in a corner of the warehouse.
Danny and Rusty looked at Hunter, who had returned to his previous calm demeanor, and for a while, they didn't know what to say.
This was definitely a ruthless character; they had both seen it just now.
How this handsome Asian Youth had given the arrogant Reuben a severe lesson in an extremely short amount of time.
And how he had ruthlessly injured all eight of his bodyguards and sent them to the hospital.
He had even extorted sixty million us dollars in gambling funds from Reuben.
Even though Reuben himself had brought up that amount of money earlier.
Hunter seemed to sense Danny and Lattice's wariness toward him.
He shrugged and said, "You were the ones who invited me here. If you don't need me now, I can leave."
Although he was somewhat interested in Linus's theft techniques and wanted to learn computer and hacking-related skills from the hacker Livingston,
and even Rusty's cheating techniques,
or the explosives manufacturing of the weapons expert Basher Tarr—Hunter really wanted to learn them all.
---Seeking Flowers--- However, he wasn't the type to grovel and force himself on others.
Besides, just by showing his face, he had already earned sixty million us dollars.
Hunter felt that he certainly wasn't losing out.
Therefore, if Danny and the others said no, he would leave immediately.
Although Danny and Rusty were now somewhat wary of him,
the terrifying gambling skills Hunter had displayed earlier made neither of them willing to let him go.
Danny immediately replied, "Hunter, although Reuben is the sponsor of our operation, he doesn't represent us."
Rusty also didn't want to continue talking about Reuben.
They had spoken with Hunter yesterday and knew he wanted to learn some skills from the team.
So he changed the subject: "Yesterday we already gave you a brief overview of the team members."
... "So, which ones do you want to talk to and learn their skills from?"
Before Hunter arrived, he had actually already made two choices.
Those were Linus's theft skills and Livingston's computer and hacking techniques.
For the final choice, he was somewhat undecided.
If he learned Basher Tarr's explosives manufacturing, Hunter would be able to mass-produce and modify explosives himself.
But he was also a bit interested in Rusty's cheating techniques.
Yesterday, Hunter hadn't actually made a final decision.
Now, when Rusty asked him to confirm again,
Hunter thought seriously and finally made his choice.
"That guy named Linus, I want to learn theft techniques from him."
"You have a hacker; I want to learn computer-related technology from him."
"And the one good at making explosives—I want to learn that skill too."
Danny and Rusty looked at each other and nodded together.
"Fine!"
They had already cleared it with several members of the team, even Linus, who had been a bit reluctant before.
Under the prospect of a reward of over ten million us dollars, he had ultimately chosen to remain silent.
And the two of them believed that after seeing Hunter's performance in teaching Reuben a lesson just now,
their companions shouldn't have any other objections.
Hunter was also well aware of this. In a very good mood, he knew that he would soon trigger three new skills again.
