After analyzing the strength comparison between the two contenders for the final battle, the Monte Carlo Casino also opened a betting pool for the showdown, allowing people to choose sides and place their bets. However, virtually everyone believed that Yan Fei was far outmatched by Kim Hye-myeong, and Yan Fei faced grim odds in this showdown. As a result, the odds for Yan Fei reached 1 to 2, while the odds for Kim Hye-myeong were only 1 to 1.2.

On the fourth day, Lu Pingping suddenly received several calls. These calls were from agents who were originally supposed to attend the Dream Technology World Agents Congress in Paris the day after tomorrow. The agents, one after another, canceled their decisions to attend the conference and gave no reasons for doing so.

When Yan Fei learned of this, he sneered in his heart. Most of these agents had seen the high-profile showdown between him and Kim Hye-myeong and the 3 billion US Dollar bet, thinking that he was impulsive and couldn’t prioritize, losing their confidence in collaborating with him. They simply chose not to attend the meeting. In their eyes, it was very likely that he would not be able to leave the ring alive, and continuing to participate in this meeting was pointless. That’s why they pulled out of the conference. However, they would soon regret it, as they had declined this meeting today, and it would be impossible for them to attend in the future.

Although these agents were no longer attending, there were still many agents willing to attend the conference. The departure of these few would not cause any negative impact on the global business operations of Dream Technology.

In the afternoon, Wu Daode from the Rongteng Trading Group, accompanied by Wu Jiechao, came to visit Yan Fei. After making small talk for a while, he began subtly inquiring about Yan Fei’s views on the showdown. Knowing what they were getting at, Yan Fei told them straight that if they believed in him, they could bet more on his victory.

Wu Daode, though skeptical, made up his mind. He then invited Yan Fei to visit his estate and expressed his desire to host a welcoming dinner for Yan Fei. Clearly, Wu Daode had decided to back Yan Fei, betting that he would win the showdown. However, Yan Fei declined all of Wu Daode’s offers, stating that he needed to focus on preparing for the upcoming fight with Kim Hye-myeong tomorrow and could not afford distractions. Left without options, Wu Daode had to leave.

After that, Yan Fei and his team finally received a call from the Paris Police Station, informing them that the DNA comparison results for all the victims were ready and they should come to handle the related formalities. Upon arriving at the police station, a dramatic scene unfolded: genetic comparisons matched all family members to the victims, allowing them to claim the bodies. However, there was one unexpected discovery – the genes of one man who had provided his DNA didn’t match his supposed son’s, meaning the child was not his son. On the other hand, another DNA comparison confirmed that the child was indeed the mother’s.

This dramatic revelation left the unfortunate victim’s father enraged and heartbroken. He got into a heated argument with the mother, and persuasive efforts from others were of no use. In the midst of the quarrel, the child’s mother let slip that the child was actually “the neighbor’s boy,” which caused the child’s alleged father to faint on the spot, and he was then rushed to the hospital by ambulance.

Having witnessed such a dramatic scene, everyone felt heavy-hearted. They quickly completed the procedures to claim the bodies, took them to the suburban cremation furnace for cremation, and received their relatives’ ashes. With the ashes of their loved ones, they returned to the hotel. Grief-stricken, they decided not to go out but stayed in the hotel with their “children”.

With no conversation overnight, the fifth day arrived – the day of the official showdown between Yan Fei and Kim Hye-myeong. After consulting Wu Daode, Lu Pingping had already arranged Yan Fei’s itinerary to Monaco in advance.

Monaco is a small principality south of France, 689 kilometers from Paris, and there are no airports within Monaco. To travel to Monaco, Yan Fei had to fly from Paris to Nice, and then he had to change to another mode of transportation from Nice to reach Monaco. The showdown between Yan Fei and Kim Hye-myeong was scheduled for 8 PM local time, so Yan Fei had to depart from Paris at noon and travel through Nice to get to Monaco.

At noon, after having had lunch, Yan Fei set off for Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris and then took Wu Daode’s charter flight to Nice Airport. Yan Fei’s party for the trip to Monaco had significantly fewer people this time, just Yan Fei and Lu Pingping, along with their personal lawyer. However, Wu Daode and Wu Jiechao acted as if they were old friends and followed Yan Fei to Monaco, eager to witness the grandeur of Chinese Kung Fu.

The flight on Wu Daode’s charter was very smooth, arriving at Nice Airport in the south of France in just over an hour. By that time, it was already 2:30 PM. Nice was very close to Monaco, with just over forty kilometers separating them. Normally, after arriving at Nice Airport, there would be two ways to travel to Monaco.

The first method was to take a helicopter directly to Monaco, which only took 7 minutes for the entire flight. The second method was to take a bus on the highway, which needed 30 minutes for the whole journey. However, no matter which means of transportation was chosen, the travel time from Nice to Monaco would be very brief.

Monaco is a world-renowned Gambling City, and there were many people who traveled there to play and gamble. When Yan Fei and his group got to the helicopter boarding area, they discovered that they actually had to queue up. In front of them was already a long line. According to Wu Daode’s estimation, it would probably be around three-thirty in the afternoon by the time they could board the helicopter. Yan Fei could wait that long, so he began to wait patiently at the airport with Lu Pingping and Wu Daode and his son.

However, when it was finally three-thirty and there were only a few passengers ahead of them, an unforeseen situation arose at the site. A large consortium suddenly chartered all the helicopters to transport their employees for a trip to Monaco. Therefore, from now until ten o’clock at night, the helicopters at Nice Airport would not be available for public service.

Upon learning of this unexpected turn of events, the other customers who had been waiting there, including Yan Fei, were displeased. However, after finding out that the consortium was one of the major shareholders of the helicopter transportation company, and that they were offering triple compensation to make up for their service failure, those customers who had been complaining left and switched to taking the bus to continue their journey to Monaco. After all, taking the bus only meant spending roughly an extra twenty-something minutes compared to flying by helicopter.

Seeing this sudden situation emerge, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping exchanged a glance, a look of alertness appearing in their eyes. Lu Pingping had previously consulted Wu Daode for his opinion, and with his many years of experience traveling to Monaco, they would be able to reach Monaco by four in the afternoon no matter how they traveled, provided they departed from Paris around noon and transferred at Nice.

Then Lu Pingping set such a schedule, which would essentially ensure their arrival at the Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco by four o’clock. This way, Yan Fei would have ample time to adjust his state and increase his chances of winning the crucial battle in the evening. Who would have thought that all the helicopters would suddenly be chartered, forcing them to take the bus to Monaco instead?

The group exited the airport and then discovered that the buses today were packed to the brim, with a long queue of passengers waiting to board. Judging from the situation, it seemed that boarding a bus would mean another hour of waiting. Wu Daode started making calls and had two business cars dispatched from the Nice branch of the Rongteng Trade Group. Then, everyone got into the cars, which joined the highway and headed towards Monaco, forty kilometers away.

But an unexpected situation occurred once again. A few minutes after the car got on the highway, they ran into a massive traffic jam. Drivers ahead reported a car accident that temporarily closed the road, leaving everyone to wait slowly on the highway. An hour later, the accident scene was finally cleared up, and they proceeded forward. Hardly five kilometers further on, another collision happened, and they were once again stuck on the highway.

By this time, even Wu Jiechao, who was usually not too detail-oriented, realized something was amiss. He said, “Big brother Yan, I’ve been to Monaco many times before, but I’ve never encountered helicopters being chartered, buses overcrowded, and consecutive accidents on the highway. Do you think the South Koreans are behind this sabotage?”

Yan Fei said, “It’s not clear what’s happening now, but if I can’t make it to the Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco in time, I’ll be deemed to have forfeited by the referee, and I’ll directly lose this decisive battle.”
