Westward is another small town in Alaska, not too far from Anchorage, but lacking in pillar industries, so the population is sparse.

In a suburban residence, Dr. Seth, a world-class energy expert, stood by the fireplace holding a cell phone.

"Damn it! You shameless people dare to kidnap my daughter! You will pay for this!"

"Oh, Dr. Seth, you misunderstand. Our people are just trying to protect her, after all, there are too many people wanting to target you now." The voice on the other end of the phone explained.

Seth glared angrily, "Do you think I'm a fool? Those assassins were sent by you!"

"I've painstakingly researched for ten years, and you won't even pay two billion USD, then you don't deserve to have it! I think the tycoons in Middle East would be very interested in it!"

"Seth... listen to me..."

"Go talk to God, damn it!" Seth cursed and immediately hung up the phone, not giving the other party a chance to speak.

He took out the phone card and threw it directly into the fire.

The second hand on his watch just made a full circle.

He was very cautious, always keeping his calls under a minute, preventing them from locating his precise whereabouts.

The person he just spoke to was from the energy company, and the reason he made the call was to give them some hope that they could trace him still being in the country, preventing them from becoming desperate and harming his daughter.

"These despicable guys!"

Putting down the phone, Seth turned to his security chief and asked, "When can your people rescue my daughter?"

The man replied, "Hede Company has hidden her very well, we are still combing through several suspicious locations, believe we will have news soon."

"How soon is soon?" Seth's voice was filled with anger and anxiety, "48 hours have already passed, with every additional minute, she is in more danger! You are hired for high fees, not to tell me soon!"

The security chief frowned slightly, despite his dissatisfaction, he patiently explained, "We understand your feelings, but Hede is not an ordinary company, they have ties with the Department of Energy."

"We've already used all available resources to comb through a few safe houses they might use, the scope is narrowing down."

Seth irritatingly scratched his head, knowing what the other party said was the truth, but as a father, he couldn't bear the wait.

His nuclear energy seawater desalination technology is groundbreaking, capable of changing the global energy and water resource landscape, and thus attracting many greedy eyes.

Hede Company is the one most unscrupulous, initially trying to buy at a very low price, after being rejected, they directly sent people to hunt him down, trying to snatch the hard drive containing technical data.

After the failed attempt, they even kidnapped his daughter as leverage!

"I need faster progress!" Seth forced himself to calm down, pacing back and forth in the room, "Or give me another plan, I can't pin all hope on passive searching."

"Sir, this is already the best plan, you should be a bit more patient..."

While the two were arguing, there were two pairs of eyes staring intently from a patch of forest across the house.

"Target is in the house, I see an old white guy, should be the one we're looking for." Chen Wei lay in the snow, holding binoculars, observing the situation ahead.

"Outside is a security team, eight people, equipped with light weapons, judging from their steps, they've had professional training..."

Next to him, An Zai recorded all he said and sent it to Brother Quan.

...

In the coffee shop, Brother Quan glanced at his phone, then got up and walked to Qi Yun, whispering, "We've found him, but the guy has security forces around him. If we want to act, with just Chen Wei and An Zai, it's not very certain and may alert him."

Qi Yun shook his head after hearing this, "I never thought of acting against him. Just keep an eye on him, don't let him die."

Brother Quan understood, picked up his phone, and replied to An Zai with instructions.

At this moment, outside the coffee shop, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, Jackson, walked over with seven or eight people, but was stopped by Niu Da at the entrance.

"Only you can go in."

Before Jackson could react, his cronies behind him wouldn't have it, two tough guys immediately stepped forward, reaching out to push Niu Da, cursing obscenely, "Fuck off! What do you think you are, daring to block our boss?!"

Niu Da stood motionless, like an iron tower, blocking the entrance, his eyes coldly sweeping over their outstretched hands.

He didn't make any obvious attack posture, relying on his imposing presence alone, made the two cronies' hands hesitate to go further.

"Stand back."

"Wait outside." Jackson promptly restrained his men.

He paused his gaze on Niu Da and the eagle, then pushed the door to go inside.

Only Qi Yun and his two companions were inside, the importance clear.

Jackson scanned around, then walked straight to Qi Yun's table.

"Qi?"

Qi Yun nodded, with a faint smile on his face, gesturing invitingly, "Please sit."

Jackson pulled out a chair and sat down, his gaze at Qi Yun full of curiosity. He didn't see a trace of a gangster aura on Qi Yun, including the two other people inside the room or those at the door, none seemed like gangsters.

A question rose in his mind, what exactly are these guys doing? How did they cause significant damage to the Aryan Brotherhood?

"Miller said you wanted to talk to me about the Aryan Brotherhood?" He put away his doubts and asked proactively.
