    Chapter 366: A Building-Level Explosion, K’s Most Common Escape Method

    They found K?

    The moment An Quan said those words, Su Ming’s attention snapped to him.

    Without the slightest hesitation, Su Ming walked over to stand behind An Quan and gestured toward his computer screen.

    “Brother Quan.”

    “Pull up the surveillance footage from the scene. I want to take a look.”

    A second later, An Quan had already fast-forwarded the footage to the relevant timeframe and hit play.

    At that moment, the screen clearly displayed the entrance of Queen’s Casino. A steady stream of people were coming and going, which was enough to show that business at the casino was thriving.

    At least within the New York area, Queen’s Casino ranked among the top three purely in terms of casino revenue.

    After a few seconds of waiting.

    The footage showed two men and a woman walking side by side, heading slowly toward Queen’s Casino.

    One of the men looked exactly like K, as seen in the security footage from the New Bridge Airport checkpoint. The resemblance was so precise, there was absolutely no difference.

    As for the other man… although his current appearance didn’t match J’s, and looked quite different from the J who appeared in the video where Little Morgan was killed, his height, build, and even the way he walked were nearly identical to the J in that video.

    Considering that J had recently arranged for a body double and that the video of Little Morgan’s murder had been exposed, it was inevitable that Morgan Financial Group would launch an aggressive manhunt.

    So under these circumstances, J definitely wouldn’t dare to move around the United States using his real face. He would have to wear a disguised human-skin mask.

    As for the woman walking alongside them, her identity was obvious.

    To be able to walk shoulder to shoulder with both K and J, it could only be Queen Q.

    And based on all the clues gathered so far, it was clear that J, Q, and K shared a close relationship. They helped each other, recruited clients, and brought in new members for The Organization.

    …

    At that thought, Su Ming gave a slight nod, then spoke with certainty.

    “It’s definitely them.”

    “Even though we can only confirm K’s identity for now, with a bit of deduction, the identities of the other two are pretty clear.”

    “One is J, wearing a human-skin mask. The other is Q, the hidden owner behind Queen’s Casino.”

    As he spoke, Su Ming began analyzing why the three of them appeared on the surveillance footage.

    Queen’s Casino was Q’s property, so she would know exactly where the Sky Eye Surveillance systems were located nearby, and where the blind spots were. As the casino’s owner, Q would be intimately familiar with all of it.

    Just like J had done at Knight Bar, using surveillance blind spots to fake his own death and slip away unnoticed.

    If their only goal was to enter Queen’s Casino to carry out some task, there was no reason to walk straight into the camera’s view like this.

    Were they trying to stage a suicide?

    Given K’s usual caution, if he wanted to stay hidden, he would definitely avoid all Sky Eye Surveillance zones and keep a low profile, working entirely behind the scenes.

    But instead, he exposed his real face directly to surveillance, and at the highly sensitive entrance of Queen’s Casino, a location that would definitely be investigated later.

    Morgan Financial Group hadn’t made any effort to conceal the fact that they had invited them to the United States for assistance.

    So if K had looked into it, he would have easily realized that the Dragon Country Police had likely already arrived in the United States.

    Under those circumstances, rather than hiding his identity, he chose to appear at Queen’s Casino with the other two.

    This behavior clearly indicated that he intended to abandon his current identity.

    Just like he had done several times back in Dragon Country, using various methods to fake his own death and discard his existing persona.

    After all, when it came to erasing traces, nothing was as direct and effective as destroying an identity.

    However, this tactic no longer worked on Su Ming.

    At the very least, Su Ming didn’t believe that someone as ruthless as K would ever choose the path of actual suicide.

    Of course, Su Ming also understood why K would choose to fake a suicide as a temporary cover.

    On one hand, his current appearance was no longer safe. The Dragon Country Police had already flagged it during airport security checks. If he continued using this face, he risked being identified by Sky Eye Surveillance at any moment.

    On the other hand, there was Queen’s Casino. After Knight Bar was destroyed, Queen’s Casino became the other major location providing members for The Organization. It had naturally become a key focus for the police.

    Although Q, as the hidden owner, had never appeared publicly, and most of the staff and patrons had no idea that the powerful Queen’s Casino was run by such a stunning woman, the casino’s unique nature meant that even if it wasn’t destroyed, Q wouldn’t be able to return to it again.

    As a confirmed member of the Poker Organization, if Q were captured and interrogated, the information extracted from her would undoubtedly lead to the discovery of J and K in no time.

    From that perspective, it was likely that the other members of the Poker Organization had also begun to flee.

    Aside from J, Q, and K—whose appearances were already known—the rest of the group, from A to 10, and even the possibly real or fictitious Big and Little King, were probably already setting their escape plans in motion.

    Because based on the close relationship between those three, it was clear that the members of the Poker Organization were tightly connected.

    If even one of them were caught, the rest could be exposed in a matter of days.

    Suppressing that thought, Su Ming exhaled lightly, then turned to An Quan and said,

    “Brother Quan.”

    “Pull up the real-time surveillance around Queen’s Casino right now.”

    “I’m guessing K is about to use his signature move again—abandoning his current identity. Queen’s Casino probably won’t be standing much longer. It’s likely to be blown up just like Knight Bar.”

    Hearing that, An Quan froze for a moment, then quickly pulled up the Sky Eye Surveillance feeds around Queen’s Casino and began checking the live footage.

    At that moment.

    On the current Sky Eye Surveillance feed, it was clearly visible that employees and patrons were fleeing Queen’s Casino in a panic. Some were covering their mouths with towels, and many were gathered on the open ground outside, talking to each other in confusion.

    A fire?

    Seeing the footage, Su Ming wasn’t particularly surprised. He raised an eyebrow slightly.

    Queen’s Casino had a large number of guests and staff every day. Even if the Poker Organization intended to blow the place up, they wouldn’t do it while people were still inside. They would make sure to evacuate everyone first.

    No matter how bold they were, they wouldn’t dare to kill that many people in one go.

    If the explosion caused mass casualties and the United States government labeled them a terrorist organization, the problems that followed would be endless.

    Then, after nearly a full minute with no one else fleeing the building—

    Boom!

    A massive explosion suddenly erupted from multiple areas within Queen’s Casino. Thick black smoke billowed out, debris flew in all directions, and the ground shook violently.

    This is an explosion powerful enough to destroy the entire building…
