Chapter 191 Escaping from the jaws of death, raking in the profits
Arriving at the villa district in Crown District, Ma Jieke finally understood what it meant for the wealthy to have different levels of wealth.
The probability of seeing police cars on the streets here is visibly much lower, and not every establishment has security personnel on-site.
The only thing that can keep criminals out is the high walls made of stone.
As night fell, Ma Jie took a running start, pushed off the hospital wall, leaped up, grabbed the edge of the wall with one hand, and easily sat on it.
"Hey, give me a hand, I'm the photographer for this operation."
Grabbing Sandy's hand and pulling her up, the two had just landed when they heard a strange noise.
Not far away, beside the swimming pool, a pair of disheveled men in black and white were releasing the beast within them under the moonlight.
"Oh my god, this is really an eyesore." Sandy quickly took out her phone and switched to video recording mode. This was much more exciting than the explicit photos her employer had requested. She couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark: "You know what, sweetheart, I'd rather have sex with a dog than let a black guy touch me. In my opinion, that's no different from being raped by a chimpanzee."
"Who can argue with that?"
While she was busy, Ma Jieke was also busy, taking out his phone to take a close-up shot.
Click... Along with the sound of the shutter, something happened that caused my blood pressure to drop. Because it was nighttime shooting, the flash was automatically turned on.
This immediately startled the adulterers who were engaged in their illicit affair, who frantically pulled up their pants and shouted.
"Quickly retreat! We've been discovered!" Upon seeing this, Ma Jie quickly turned back the way he came.
Sandy followed behind him, her eyes gleaming with murderous intent: "Big Fool Chun, what are you doing!"
"Hey, you two audacious thieves, give me your phone."
Knowing she had been photographed, Miranda unleashed her inner power and sprinted over at incredible speed.
She didn't know who the other person was, but she knew that if these photos were leaked, it would be a fatal blow to both her career and her family and marriage.
Of course, the best outcome would be if the other party used this as leverage to extort a large sum of money from them.
"Don't run, you bitch, I saw you!"
Sandy, who was being pulled against the wall by MaJack, was suddenly grabbed by the foot by Miranda, who screamed hysterically, "You bastards, how dare you follow me! I know both of you! Did my husband send you?"
"Let go of me, you old slut! You're the one who did something shameful."
Sandy struggled desperately against the wall, when suddenly she felt a lightness in her body as her shoes were pulled off by the other person.
But she didn't care about any of that. She quickly climbed over the wall with Ma Jieke and hopped on one leg to get to the car.
"Hurry up, Jack! GO! GO! GO!" urged Sandy, and MaJack started the pickup truck engine.
As a result, they had only driven a short distance when they saw the familiar silver-gray Tesla Model S in the rearview mirror.
Miranda was slamming on the accelerator like a madman, taking advantage of the vehicle's performance to quickly catch up with Majek.
"Hey, stop the car, you two idiots!"
She rolled down the car window, her furious expression clearly visible, while Sandy, sitting in the passenger seat, leaned half his body out and started filming her face and the car.
After all, the employer had said there would be additional rewards, so she needed to keep some evidence to let the other party understand just how difficult this job was.
"Go to hell, you scum! I'm going to kill you all, I'm going to kill your whole family!"
Seeing this humiliating scene, Miranda completely lost control of her emotions, swerved the steering wheel, and crashed into the car without regard for the consequences.
Clang! The two vehicles made contact at point-blank range, and the Tesla's rearview mirror was crushed. Sparks were visible to the naked eye from the gap due to the intense friction.
However, compared to the easily defeated Tesla, Ma Jie's old-fashioned pickup truck remained unscathed. After all, it was an old vehicle, known for its durability and sturdiness.
"Shit, this woman looks like she's gone mad." Sandy shrank back into the car in fright. "Jack, you have to find a way to shake her off. Judging by her attitude, she's planning to take us all down with her."
Shake her off? You make it sound so easy. Do you even know what it means to be a skilled cook without ingredients? Give me a Hellcat right now, and I can make sure she can't even see my taillights.
However, Ma Jieke wasn't the type to just complain about the environment. He glanced at the map navigation and noticed a restricted area marked with a red X to his left, which looked like an unfinished construction site.
He gritted his teeth and charged straight in, using the complex terrain to outrun the other driver.
Upon seeing the pile of cement pipes not far away, Ma Jieke deliberately turned off the headlights, creating an artificial fog of war.
Just as they were about to collide, the driver suddenly swerved sharply, causing the pickup truck's left wheel to lift up dangerously, almost sending the driver and the truck flying.
Miranda, whose vision was perfectly blocked, only then realized she had fallen into a trap. Since she hadn't slowed down beforehand, she could only scream loudly as she crashed into the concrete pipe.
Boom! The enormous impact shattered the windshield, and she was encased in the airbags that filled the entire cockpit.
"Haha, die! You slut who loves to horn chimpanzees, bye-bye!"
Sandy excitedly leaned out of the car window and raised two middle fingers as a final farewell.
Meanwhile, Ma Jie stepped on the gas and disappeared gracefully into the night.
"5
""
"With fire in our eyes" (eyes brimming with passion)
"Our lives are a light"
"
""
"You woke me up."
"Wake within me."
"5
""
A catchy tune called "Wake" echoed through the carriage, and Sandy, as if on an overdose of narcotics, headbanged wildly to the energetic drumbeats.
"You will be remembered in history, your love will always be with me, shining brightly in every day of my life."
Seeing her happy expression, Ma Jie smiled knowingly and drove towards the city center.
Los Angeles is a typical example of urban depopulation, with the poor living in the city and the rich clustering in the suburbs.
"Jack, turn the music down, my employer is calling."
Shortly after Miranda sent the video and photos, her husband called back.
"Hi, good evening, my sugar daddy. I'm Catwoman from Los Angeles. Are you satisfied with my service?"
Sandy turned on her phone's speakerphone and greeted people in a deliberately suggestive tone, making it seem to anyone who didn't know better think she was offering that kind of service.
"I saw the videos and photos you sent me." The other person's voice sounded emotionless, but a few seconds later, it erupted like a volcano: "Kill them! Kill that bastard couple! I'm going to hang that black guy from a tree and whip him until there's not a single good piece of flesh left on his body!"
"Oh, that sounds very creative." Listening to the employer's roar, Ma Jie raised the corners of his mouth: "But it's been more than a hundred years since Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation."
"Don't give me that nonsense. A bastard is a bastard, just a banjo-playing dog bastard, no different from a slave!"
This guy was clearly furious, and he started spewing all sorts of discriminatory and insulting remarks: "You know what, the biggest purpose of the banjo is not to play, but to provide entertainment for slave owners when they have sex with black wives. And now these maggots who only deserve to live in dung are actually taking advantage of us. Damn it, I'd rather that bitch's affair partner was a baboon."
After he finished venting his anger, Sandy asked, "Sir, are you done venting? If you are, how about we settle the commission first? I almost got run over by your wife while I was collecting evidence for you. You won't find a bounty hunter as dedicated as me anywhere on the West Coast."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone before the voice came through again: "No problem, girl. We agreed on a thousand dollars beforehand, but I'll give you an extra thousand dollars as a reward for your bravery and fearlessness."
"Thank you so much, sir. Please remember to give me a five-star review!"
Upon hearing that the prize money would be doubled, Sandy's happiness level also doubled.
The other party kept their promise and quickly transferred the commission to her bank account.
"Haha, Jack, I'm rich! After deducting the platform's 10% commission, I've netted $1800!"
10%? Ma Jie frowned. Sure enough, there's no such thing as a free lunch. But this percentage is normal, since the purpose of building this platform is essentially to make money.
If transactions can be conducted offline with employers, wouldn't that bypass transaction fees? The platform designers clearly didn't consider this, and it's unclear whether any remedial measures will be introduced later.
Sandy, having completed the novice trial, quickly received an invitation code from the platform to help MaJack register as an apprentice hunter.
Ma Bangzhu's trip wasn't in vain; when he broke into Miranda's mansion, he left a "J" mark on the ground with a marker.
With this, the challenge mission is now 2/3 complete. Just one more infiltration will unlock the five-star skill reward.
"Hello family, we're back."
As soon as Ma Jie entered the house, he saw his roommates enjoying their nightlife.
Fiona sat in her home sauna, holding a glass of red wine with an air of arrogance. Anyone who didn't know her would think she was some kind of wealthy lady, not a restaurant waitress.
Max was sweating profusely as she pedaled her stationary bike, maintaining her sexy, hot mom figure.
Jimmy and Pudding were sitting on the sofa playing a two-player co-op game called Overcooked. Every now and then, due to miscoordination, they would put down the controllers and pick up cushions to throw at each other.
In the corner, there was a blonde little girl who was immersed in the world of Lego bricks; she was Heidi, who was temporarily being fostered here.
"Hey, look who's back." As soon as the two entered, Fiona's gaze immediately fell on Sandy's feet, and she started her usual bickering mode: "Bitch, I bet you did something illegal again and got so overwhelmed that you lost your shoes. If Jack hadn't helped you out, you'd probably be in the police station right now, locked up with some street prostitutes."
"Fuck you, Fiona!" Sandy took off his other shoe as well, walked up to her, politely raised his middle finger, and said with a smug look on his face, "You know what, you little bitch? I made $2500 today, more than you make in a month serving other people at a restaurant. Aren't you mad?"
"What?" Upon hearing this terrifying number, Fiona's eyes first flashed with jealousy, but she quickly regained her composure: "Keep bragging, it's not like you have to pay taxes to brag."
"Haha, I knew you wouldn't believe me." Sandy grabbed MaJack and pulled him close. "Tell her, Jack, is what I said true or not?"
Ma Jie shrugged helplessly, not wanting to get involved in the feud between the two sisters.
However, silence signifies agreement. Fiona was quite angry when she learned the truth. After all, they were both born in the South Side of Chicago, and neither of them came from a better family. Now they had come to Los Angeles to work hard, and the other was making so much money every day. To say that she wasn't jealous would be self-deception.
Upon hearing the conversation, Max jumped off the stationary bike, revealing her tight red sports bra and shorts, which exposed her sexy abs and long, shapely legs.
"Stop beating around the bush, you jerk. Tell me how you made your money. I've been obsessed with money lately."
When Max asked him about it, Sandy told her directly about the AE platform.
Having learned how the platform works, Max walked straight up to Jack and teased his chin with her finger: "Sweetie, when you finish the newbie trial, can you give Mommy your invitation code?"
"No." Ma Jieke grinned wickedly, his eyes lecherously fixed on her cleavage. "Unless..."
"Don't even think about it!" Max rolled her eyes at him. "Don't think I don't know you're two-timing me. You're sleeping with that little bitch Sandy on one hand, and flirting with that Mexican girl on the other. If you can't meet Her Majesty's demands, I'll go to Miss Valentina tomorrow for some free meals and chat with her a bit while I'm at it. But I can't control my mouth, what if I say something wrong..."
"OK, OK, I agree. No need for you to bother."
Forced into a corner, Ma Jie had no choice but to compromise. Although he hadn't officially started a relationship with Valentina, he knew that if she found out, it might affect her mood, which was completely unnecessary.
"That's a good boy/girl, here's a reward for you, muah."
Max kissed MaJack on the forehead like a child would a child, and then happily ran to the bathroom to shower.
In her opinion, if even a petty thief like Sandy could make money through this platform, then she, as a Valkyrie, would certainly be able to as well.
"What time is it? Still playing games here? Go do your homework." Someone sat on the sofa and snatched the controller from Little Pudding without saying a word. The latter angrily punched him and sat down to play on the iPad.
"The fish? Give the fish to my buddy. Oh shit, that's a carrot. No, can't you even tell the difference between fish and vegetables?"
A few minutes later, Jimmy stared at the word "game over" on the screen, looking utterly dejected.
"I'm done playing. I have to get up early tomorrow to visit my mom in the hospital."
"Oh right, we agreed that you had to come with me, no backing out."
