Mexico City has a population of 22 million and is home to nearly half of the country's industry, commerce, service industry, and two-thirds of the financial industry. Its GDP accounts for 48% of the country's total.
In such a big city, and with Ms. Maria's 55% approval rating, the crowds of people who came to welcome her were endless.
Amid the roaring cheers, the lady just got out of the car, waved, let reporters take a few photos, and then quickly got back into the bulletproof vehicle.
Lu Li looked around, back and forth, feeling many hostile looks from far and near.
"Looks like I'll be busy next time."
After watching, Lu Li had an idea.
But his casual glances brought huge pressure to many people.
At this moment, in a luxury hotel not far away, an old man and a woman were looking over here.
The old man has blond hair and blue eyes. He is a calm gentleman wearing round glasses. He frowned at this moment:
"500 feet apart, just looking at each other brings a tsunami of pressure... Still so young, I kind of believe in the blood theory."
The old man adjusted his glasses and said to the young woman beside him:
"Miss Medea from [Titan Company], I agree with your suggestion on cooperation."
The woman named Medea is a tall girl, with a height of 1.8 meters. Wearing a black professional skirt, she looks as delicate as a graphic model.
With a calm and confident smile on her face: "Wise decision, Mr. Eureka."
The two shook hands and reached an agreement.
At this time, the campaign team slowly drove away under the escort of military police.
Eureka looked at the motorcade and showed a mocking smile:
"In movies and TV shows, they always like to depict fake business wars that are won by outsourcing. But the real world is very direct. People like to use physical destruction to kill their opponents straightforwardly.
Medea chuckled and said: "That's why there are people like us. Some people spend money to destroy their opponents, and naturally some people spend money to protect themselves."
She looked at the bulletproof car where the lady was and continued:
"I got the invitation to the dinner. Are you interested in watching your opponent up close?"
Gentleman Eureka nodded:
"It's not what you asked for, but I already have the invitation. Our company has deployed people around the target. This is why you asked me to cooperate, isn't it?"
Medea didn't refute, and the smile on her face deepened.
At the beginning of the campaign, Ms. Maria used political promises in exchange for a team of mercenaries from [Sommer Company].
To be fair, these people were somewhat useful in the beginning.
But as the lady rises rapidly, and more and more people and forces are clinging to her, these mercenaries become more and more useless.
So much so that they were not allowed to attend the "fundraising dinner" tonight.
Seeing Lu Li and others dressed in suits and leather shoes going to the banquet, the mercenary leader "Qiao Yin" had a cold light in his eyes!
~~~~~~~~~~~
The campaign team booked the entire Hilton Hotel, but had to leave as soon as they settled in.
Because the richest man in Mexico, Luke, is going to hold a banquet tonight to welcome the lady and raise campaign funds.
At exactly 7:00 pm, Ms. Maria arrived at a private manor outside the city on time.
The car stopped and Lu Li took the lady's hand and got out of the car.
The richest man "Luke" has been waiting with many guests for a long time.
"Welcome, ma'am."
Luke, who had a gray beard and slightly fatter face, greeted him personally with a warm smile.
After greeting the lady, the richest man shook hands with Lu Li and said hello:
"Mr. Lu Li, nice to meet you."
"Hello."
Lu Li was not too enthusiastic and just nodded simply.
But Luke was very talkative: "Are you of Xia origin? I like the culture of Xia Kingdom. Many great figures have appeared in Xia Kingdom..."
He focused most of his energy on Lu Li, which was a little strange.
But as everyone walked into the manor and saw that the place was as heavily guarded as a military camp, they suddenly understood.
Mexico is the country with the highest kidnapping risk in the world and the highest kidnapping death rate.
With such a ostentatious title as "the richest man", he would not be able to live long without strong security, so Luke naturally respected people with real abilities.
Lu Li protected the lady, fought all the way from Tijuana to Mexico, and also foiled an assassination attempt by the Foreign Intelligence Service. He had already become famous.
At this moment, many high-ranking officials, dignitaries and top tycoons at the banquet were also looking at Lu Li curiously.
Among them, there are naturally the malicious Medea and Eureka.
Yurika pushed up her glasses and said, "The little boy from Xia Kingdom is very popular. It seems that everyone likes the person who can save their lives."
Medea swung the champagne in the glass and said with a smile:
"It is foreseeable that this will be a strong competitor, and it is also a good thing to eliminate it early."
"Speaking of which, does it really depend on genetics that he is so young?"
"You will understand after you dissect it."
The two of them had studied Lu Li's information and, like most people, thought that Lu Li had inherited his grandfather's genes from another generation.
After all, this young man is quiet and delicate, not like the legend who has recently become famous.
At this time, Medea said excitedly: "Oh, a little guinea pig is going to perform!"
Eureka's eyes narrowed: "Just in time to see if it is as powerful as the intelligence says."
~~~~~~~~~~
The richest man "Luke" led Ms. Maria and Lu Li to sit down together.
This person really takes security seriously, and there is a circle of big men in black suits standing around the table.
Anyone who wants to approach will be blocked, and even the waiters serving food and wine have to be searched before they can come forward.
While Luke and Ms. Maria were conducting rounds of negotiations and exchanging interests, a thin waiter came over with a bottle of champagne.
They immediately searched and inspected the person, and even carefully checked the tray and drinks before letting him go.
The waiter stepped forward, first filled Lu Li's wine glass, and then poured wine for Ms. Maria...
At this moment, Lu Li suddenly reached out and held the waiter's wrist!
The man's face changed, his eyes instantly became as sharp as a cheetah's, and his body tensed up, wanting to do something...
But Lu Li's martial arts training of the internal organs, the strength of 3,000 kilograms, is definitely not something that "humans" can resist.
With a little force from his fingers, Kacha broke the attacker's wrist with a snap.
Then he flicked it and threw it to the man in black suit who was surrounding him.
The big men were very experienced and subdued the attacker in an instant, but their expressions changed dramatically after seeing the broken fingers!
I saw a ring on her middle finger with a needle two centimeters long and thinner than a hair.
If you look carefully under the lamp, you can vaguely see a hint of coquettish light.
I thought it must be highly poisonous!
Luke took a breath and his face turned ugly! If this person wanted to kill him, he would have already succeeded! Just scratch the skin lightly!
Ms. Maria quickly thanked Lu Li, who waved his hand carelessly.
This scene was completely seen by a few guests, as well as Medea and Eureka.
The two looked at each other, and Medea sneered:
"The reputation spread is indeed consistent with the reality. The reaction and power are very strong, and he also has terrible intuition. He seems to have noticed us."
"It's a pity that we chose the wrong camp. Let's go and send this little boy from Xia Kingdom to heaven as soon as possible."
Eureka glanced at Lu Li vaguely, feeling a little flustered.
He hated this feeling and couldn't wait to eliminate the threat.
Little did he know that Lu Li had long sensed the gazes of the two men, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
