Chapter 563: Chapter 260: Tunnel Chase Chapter 563: Chapter 260: Tunnel Chase The casino bustled with people coming and going, and the soundproofing of the walls was so effective that those inside couldn't hear any noise from the outside. However, Yan Fei had an exceptional sense of hearing, and after adjusting it to its maximum strength, he could already discern the sound of heavy vehicles approaching, accompanied by the sound of numerous people running. He immediately knew that US Forces were encircling the Paradise Palace Casino.

Facing the encirclement by the US Army, Yan Fei showed no sign of panic. This was, after all, the top-ranked Paradise Palace Casino in Las Vegas. Even though it was late at night, there were still over a thousand gamblers engaged in overnight betting. Moreover, several hundred dignitaries were resting in the hotel above the casino.

In Yan Fei's plan, if things truly became irreversible, he would use the weapons stored in his Universal Space to create the greatest heist in history by taking everyone in the casino and hotel hostage. With these significant hostages, he believed he could delay for the final 40 minutes. Holding these influential hostages would surely allow him to achieve his goal of buying time.

Beyond that plan, Yan Fei had another method to stall for time: to ignore the US Forces outside and immediately return to Yang Qi's room to hide from the military's search. That was a room used by senior US Government officials, and it was not certain that the military would search it. Even if he was eventually discovered, it would take a long time, and at the very least, Yan Fei could take the US Government officials in the room hostage to prevent the military from entering.

However, this approach had a problem: a renowned American detective, who was reputed to be unbeatable, had suddenly appeared outside. Yan Fei had no idea how long it would take before the military found him. If the American detective located him too quickly, this tactic would fail to serve its purpose of buying time. And he wasn't sure that the presence of a single government official would cause the military to hesitate, whereas a large group of hostages gave him a greater sense of security.

Considering this, Yan Fei did not return to the hotel. Instead, he decided to make a bold move at the casino, to do something earth-shattering that would force the US Forces to act cautiously, thereby allowing himself and Yang Qi to escape safely.

Outside the Paradise Palace, Gary Zach staggered towards the casino, followed by the US Forces commander and a large entourage. Further back, a mass of American soldiers moved in coordination with Gary Zach's movements, protected by armored vehicles. Under Zach's lead, everyone drew closer to the Paradise Palace Casino.

The entrance of the casino was now in sight, but suddenly, Gary Zach's legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground, motionless. His assistant quickly approached and found that Gary Zach had fallen into a deep sleep, saying, “Mr. Zach can't keep going. But just before he collapsed, he pointed to the first floor of the Paradise Palace, indicating that the Destroyer is inside the casino lobby. You can proceed to apprehend him now.”

The US Forces commander, already aware of the detective's prowess, grew somewhat uncertain after witnessing the detective's investigative process firsthand. Even though Gary Zach had provided several details about how the Destroyer operated, there was no way to know if these details were accurate. Considered more like drunken babble than exhaustion, Zach's words may simply have been the talk of a man asleep from intoxication. Despite the dubious nature of this lead, it was far better than having no clues at all.

Subsequently, the US Forces commander started giving orders to tighten the siege around the grand hotel, preventing anyone inside from entering or exiting. Following the commander's orders, a multitude of American soldiers surrounded the Paradise Palace Casino, and various heavy weapons were positioned nearby. In the sky, several 10 Attack Planes appeared, while Apache Armed Helicopters circled at a lower altitude. Additionally, numerous drones were deployed, surveilling every aspect of the area.

Inside the Paradise Palace Casino, Yan Fei listened intently to the noises outside while studying the layout of the casino. In case of fire or other emergencies, detailed evacuation route maps were drawn for the casino. Yan Fei was now reviewing these maps, planning his next moves.

All the commotion outside couldn't escape Yan Fei's keen hearing. When he peeked through a corner of the curtain by the window, he saw the casino surrounded by US Forces' tanks and armored vehicles. Soldiers prepared for combat were all around, and reflections from the scopes of snipers stationed in high-rise buildings caught his eye. Furthermore, Yan Fei spotted the 10 Fighter Jets and Apache Armed Helicopters above, realizing he was ensnared in an intricate military web.

Although the US Forces had surrounded the Paradise Palace Casino, they did not immediately attack. Unless they made a move, Yan Fei would remain inactive. After all, his goal was to delay, and maintaining the current standoff was ideal.
