Chapter 1165: Chapter 650: Let Me Show You the Power of American-Style Duel

Shen Sui regretted it.

He should have bought a ticket for a regular commercial flight to North America.

Instead of chartering a private jet straight to North America like he did now.

Actually, the chartering isn’t the main issue; it’s the people beside him.

Isabella truly deserves to be a vampire.

Not only does she suck blood, but she also drains energy.

Although it was only a few hours’ flight, when he got off the plane, Shen Sui felt like days and nights had passed.

Though he wasn’t completely drained, when he saw the sun upon disembarking, he couldn’t help feeling disoriented.

These hours felt like a lifetime.

TM, even traveling through the Otherworld wouldn’t feel like this!

"Sigh... we’re here already?" Isabella pouted, looking displeased.

She still had several outfits she hadn’t changed into.

Shen Sui replied helplessly, "It wasn’t far to begin with."

Even though he no longer needed sleep, Shen Sui’s soul instinctually felt a bit fatigued.

The Life Card Master Association’s special vehicle had long been waiting for Shen Sui at the airport.

Guided by several men in suits, Shen Sui and Isabella got into a black car and headed towards the conference building.

Shen Sui originally thought this last stretch of the journey wouldn’t pose any issues.

Until he heard sounds seldom heard in Huaxia.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Are those gunshots?

Shen Sui immediately became alert.

Before he could speak, a car suddenly rushed from the side of an intersection, heading straight towards Shen Sui’s vehicle.

Isabella yawned as the two cars, about to collide, brushed past each other at a strange angle.

Amidst the sound of hard braking, Shen Sui heard a few more gunshots.

Shen Sui wasn’t afraid.

But this street skirmish feeling was his first experience, and instead, he found himself curious.

The driver, evidently unperturbed by such sights, quickly accelerated the car towards their destination.

"What are they here for?"

Leaning forward with interest, Shen Sui asked the sunglasses-wearing man in the passenger seat.

"To steal Life Cards," the sunglasses man replied calmly, "News about the conference leaked, and all local gangs have mobilized."

"Damn, they’re so brazen?" Shen Sui laughed in disbelief.

The sunglasses man chuckled, "That’s just because you’re in the car. If you were walking alone down an alley, someone might just put a gun to your head for a duel."

"Duel?"

"In a way, it is a duel, but... it’s a cowboy duel."

An American-style duel, right?

No wonder we’re in North America; an actual American-style duel!

The environment here in North America is indeed vastly different from Huaxia.

Originally, Life Card trading here was very prosperous, and with the advent of the Extraordinary Era, Life Card prices skyrocketed, resulting in the rapid spread of street American-style duels.

After all, Life Cards now are even more lucrative than narcotics.

If you’re lucky, one shot might bring you instant wealth.

And compared to becoming a Life Card Master and learning the rules of Life Card Duel, clearly learning how to shoot is much easier.

While talking, the group arrived at the conference building.

Compared to the chaotic neighborhoods earlier, the security here was evidently much better. Numerous police stood guard at key junctions, and many patrol units were deployed around.

Getting off the car, Shen Sui saw Theis.

"Long time no see, Shen Sui." Theis immediately greeted him with a big hug.

Shen Sui retorted, "I thought you came out to greet me with intentions of a pre-duel."

"Haha, there’ll be plenty of chances for duels in the coming days," Theis laughed heartily.

Glancing around, Shen Sui remarked, "There’s quite a lot of police here."

"It’s necessary to prevent gang attacks."

"Wow... they’ve grown this rampant?"

"The profit from Life Cards is just too great," Theis chuckled bitterly, "And that’s after the market has been impacted by you."

"Oh... I almost forgot," Shen Sui glanced at the building, "Those big families seem to want me dead."

The influx of Life Cards from the cultivation world shook up the Life Card market.

Though the wave has passed and prices have somewhat recovered, they haven’t returned to their previous highs.

"Don’t worry, I’ll keep you safe," Theis glanced at Isabella beside Shen Sui, "Though I doubt you need my protection."

"I don’t fancy protection from men," Shen Sui casually stated.

Following Theis, Shen Sui entered the building.

It was then Shen Sui realized this seemed to be a local council building.

Yet the original meeting hall was now unrecognizably altered, with large screens hanging on the walls.

Amidst the hall, a large number of personnel were busy.

The Life Card Masters preparing to enter the buffer zone for battle were making their final preparations.

"They seem quite rushed," Shen Sui glanced at the time, "I shouldn’t be late."

"World No. 1’s targets suddenly accelerated their plans," Theis looked at Shen Sui, "So we have to be ready as fast as possible; these are fifteenth-rank targets."

Theis evidently thought Shen Sui had something to do with this.

In fact, it was true.

Among the Life Card Masters waiting to enter the buffer zone, Shen Sui actually saw a few familiar faces.
