Chapter 157 - 157: Breaking News

As the video of Leon flying the Lykan across the Jumeirah towers kept spreading,

his fame skyrocketed—

to the point where nearly the entire world knew his name.

The newspapers were even more dramatic:

"Supercar Lykan Soars Across Etihad Towers — Abu Dhabi Erupts!"

"Defying the Impossible: A Hypercar's Cross-Building Leap!"

"Jumeirah Tower Hit by Terror Attack — Dozens Dead or Injured"

"Mysterious Top Driver Appears — Performs Aerial Stunt in City Center"

Headlines like these popped up everywhere as media outlets rushed to report the story.

Online, things exploded even faster.

Seeing a man really fly a hypercar across a skyscraper—

and not just once, but twice—

sent the internet into chaos.

Comments flooded in:

"Holy crap, that skill and guts… I'm impressed!"

"A car can jump THAT far???"

"If it were me, I'd pass out."

"I'm scared of heights—this terrifies me even through the screen!"

Hundreds of comments appeared every second.

Refresh after a minute, and they'd already passed a thousand.

The popularity was off the charts.

With Twitter's amplification, the entire world knew what happened.

Leon became internationally famous overnight.

Photos of him were posted everywhere.

"So handsome AND skilled? My type!"

"Can't believe this pretty boy is the one driving!"

"With this level of skill and courage, his future's limitless."

"He's clearly not just some street racer."

Because the American "Car God Championship" had only recently ended,

not many people knew about it yet—

so Leon's global reputation as the Car God hadn't fully spread.

Meanwhile, the police were anything but calm.

Leon's flashy stunt immediately drew the attention of the Abu Dhabi authorities.

They had received reports of someone firing into a crowd,

throwing grenades,

and blowing apart the entire observation deck.

The shattered glass had caused multiple people to fall.

From three hundred meters, there was no surviving that.

Worse, the victims were among the world's richest and most globally influential elites.

Even one death was a massive incident—

but several?

The pressure on Abu Dhabi skyrocketed.

They immediately began a full-city lockdown and launched an anti-terror operation.

Their goals:

capture Guo Da,

or locate Leon's group.

Unfortunately for them, none of these people were amateurs.

Before the lockdown was complete,

Leon and the crew had already flown out of Abu Dhabi airspace.

Their destination: Los Angeles—their base.

On the plane, Ramsey typed rapidly on her laptop,

fully focused on the scrolling code.

Her fingers danced without a single moment of pause.

Though she was writing code,

it looked almost like she was playing a game.

Even for a world-class hacker like Tej,

her pace was impressive.

For hackers at their level,

the code appears in the mind long before the fingers move.

As soon as a line is typed,

the next 10 lines are already mentally complete.

This was basic skill for top hackers—

but a massive challenge for normal programmers.

"Done."

Ramsey hit Enter excitedly.

She successfully transferred the data to a tablet.

To prevent anyone from stealing or using it,

she added multiple layers of authentication—

voice, retina, facial scan, and fingerprint.

Miss even one and it wouldn't unlock.

Hearing her success, Dominic and the others looked over excitedly.

"Quick, check—where is Guo Da?" Dom asked urgently.

"On it." Ramsey nodded.

She already had Guo Da's entire profile:

face, blood type, height, measurements—all the basics.

With the God's Eye system,

finding him was easy.

In seconds, she located Guo Da at the Abu Dhabi airport.

"He already boarded his flight… destination: Los Angeles?"

Ramsey frowned and double-checked.

The ticket confirmed it.

"He must've gotten our info," Leon said thoughtfully.

Guo Da definitely wasn't part of Dom's crew—

otherwise he would've intercepted them earlier

instead of arriving one step late in Abu Dhabi.

Now he was heading to Los Angeles.

That meant he likely had Leon's personal information

and was planning to strike at Leon's home base.

A final confrontation seemed inevitable.

"You think he'll come after me first, or you?" Leon asked Dom.

A very interesting question.

Was Guo Da more obsessed with getting the God's Eye—

or avenging his brother?

"If he comes, I'll face him," Dom said coldly.

In Los Angeles, Dom had the advantage:

his vast underground network,

and official support if needed.

If Guo Da came charging in,

he'd basically be walking into a trap.

Dom's gaze hardened—

he had killed Guo Da's brother.

Their feud was now irreconcilable.

"Good luck with that," Leon shrugged.

He had no intention of helping Dom.

Dom was fiercely protective of his own people,

and Leon had:

stolen his cargo,

killed the men Dom hired.

They were already enemies.

They only cooperated because of the God's Eye and the Lykan.

Asking Leon to help Dom was impossible.

They simply had to see who Guo Da targeted first.

Time passed quickly—

after another day in the air, everyone was exhausted.

They returned to their respective cars and went home to sleep.

Late at night…

A man dressed in black moved stealthily toward Leon's house.

He looked around carefully, ensuring no one was nearby,

then took out his tools

and quietly pried open the window.

He slipped inside with practiced ease.

He was clearly not an ordinary thief.

And that shiny bald, horseshoe-shaped head

betrayed his identity.

Guo Da.

No one expected him to strike

while everyone was resting and off guard.

Back home in Los Angeles,

everyone subconsciously relaxed—

they all fell into deep sleep.

This was the perfect moment.

Guo Da truly was a professional killer.

He crept inside, pulled out a knife,

and moved with silent, cat-like steps toward the living room.

But the moment he stepped inside—

Every light turned on.

Damn. He's been discovered…
