King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 387 - 371 Planning Behind the Scenes

Tony was anxious, but Joe Ga and the two directors were quite relaxed.

They had already captured their money vault, what else was there to worry about?

The reason they were restraining their desire to act was because Tony and team had subconsciously expanded the operation.

While this wasn’t a bad thing, Tony and his team lacked the ability to mediate, and Cooper and Beech had just been watching the fun. So when changes occurred, Tony felt a bit lost.

What else was there to do?

Just keep investigating, to give those who came to help a bit more to gain.

The people from P.B. were responsible for watching the money vault. If they detected any movement, they would strike first and take down the vault, which would be the biggest profit from Joe’s trip to America.

Facing the anxious Tony, Joe Ga shook his head slightly...

This guy still hadn’t fully grasped his identity, position, and stance. He really saw himself as part of the law enforcement, so he wasn’t mentally prepared for the drug dealers’ new changes, which made him anxious, fearing it would affect the just-forming crackdown plan.

Watching Tony’s hesitation, Joe Ga said with a smile, "How about this, leave the money vault to me. Your job is to expose the drug trafficking network. FBI and DEA agents will cooperate with you.

Buddy, this is just an internship. No one expects you to save the world. The most important thing is to show what you’ve learned.

Remember, you are now a man of P.B. Company, and you need to consider problems from the perspective of P.B. and its allies.

What can you do to benefit P.B.?

What can you do to ensure those reluctantly cooperating with you also benefit?

If you have time, I suggest you go to the front line and learn from the veteran agents. Some things can’t be understood by hearing them a thousand times but by doing them once."

Tony glanced at the still silent Cooper and Beech and realized that the two bigwigs actually agreed with Joe Ga’s words. Only then did he realize what he had done...

And he realized that the boss was intentionally indulging his recklessness because P.B. only needed to take down the money vault.

But ever since he marked the so-called ’high-value targets’ and got a touch of the Los Angeles drug network, things had changed.

And the boss had been cleaning up after him...

From insisting on his own command of the veteran agents, despite the Justice Department’s offer of support, to now appearing just when he was about to lose control of the situation...

Honestly, Tony was incredibly touched. Except for sometimes being irritable and not the nicest talker, the boss was like a real dad!

Now that Tony completely understood, he suddenly stood up and nodded vigorously, saying, "Boss, we wrap it up. The big fish we’ve caught so far are enough, tackling the drug endpoints isn’t our responsibility.

Los Angeles police can’t be trusted, but we can inform them after wrapping up, letting them follow the leads to fight the drug endpoints."

Joe Ga, looking at the maturing Tony, responded with a smile, "You’re in charge of the aftermath. How we proceed is up to you.

Remember, think before you speak when you’re out there. Being FUCKED isn’t a pleasant experience, haha..."

Tony nodded intensely and, after respectfully saluting the three heavyweights in the reception room, turned and left the room.

His previous blindness disappeared, and he was now fully energized.

After Tony had left, Michael Beach, looking at Joe Ga, said with a laugh, "What are you trying to do? Dragging the Los Angeles police into this, and they might not thank you for it.

If our strike against Sinaloa’s Los Angeles drug network is successful, the gangs fighting over the vacated territory will keep Los Angeles in chaos for a long time."

Joe Ga laughed heartily, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Stability trumps all, I get it!

Recently, a guy from the Bay Group has been spying on me with binoculars from the sea, and I want to have a chat with him.

The Bay Group and Sinaloa don’t get along. If he seizes the opportunity and prepares well, he can effortlessly take over those territories."

That old slick Michael Beach immediately understood what Joe Ga wanted to do...

Take down Sinaloa’s money vault, then part of their drug network, how could that not provoke a backlash from them.

Joe Ga intended to bring in the Bay Group to share the firepower and, at the same time, to find a way out for that pretty girl in the big house.

The greatest benefit of this move is that the Bay Group has the power to quickly take over the vacated drug channels, the local Los Angeles gangs would still maintain stability, and the city wouldn’t descend into lawlessness due to spiraling drug prices.

Everyone wins...

P.B. takes down the money vault and collects a bonus from the DEA, while Joe Ga negotiates to save Monica’s life sparing her from the Bay Group’s hit.

The FBI and DEA take the lion’s share of the credit, leading to promotions and wealth.

The U.S. Marshals catch a bunch of wanted criminals, escapees, parole violators, and also get to claim merit and awards.

Finally, Los Angeles would still maintain stability, the Los Angeles police cooperate to combat the drug endpoints, and then get public commendations from the state government.

If the Gulf Group were willing to engage in negotiations, they would be able to snatch a victory from the Sinaloa Group and also gain huge benefits.

Everyone would win, with the Sinaloa Group being the only loser.

And the collective strength of those who had obtained benefits would suppress the Sinaloa without any power to resist.

Director Cooper, being slightly more upright, only began to react after he saw Michael Beach joking with Joe Ga about when to take their families for a vacation in Africa.

After thoughtful consideration, Cooper sighed and looked at Joe Ga’s profile, uncertain of what to say.

The young man possessed a maturity far beyond his years and always managed to grasp the essence of a situation, guiding everyone’s interests to form a temporary alliance.

Even when he mentioned negotiating with the Gulf Group, Cooper didn’t feel there was anything inappropriate.

Because he was doing something the FBI and even the Los Angeles police couldn’t achieve—he used his unofficial status to spare Los Angeles from an underground turmoil of unknown duration.

The Los Angeles police wouldn’t resent the FBI and DEA agents because of this, and future cooperation between them would remain smooth.

If this was something he had planned all along...

Cooper didn’t dare to ponder further, because he felt that if this were all true, his position as deputy director was too easily obtained.

If the FBI had several people like this, how could he possibly have his day?

Joe Ga was unaware of Cooper’s thoughts, and when he noticed the FBI bigwig’s changing expression, he pulled him into the conversation and invited him to visit Africa during their downtime.

If they were too busy themselves, they could send their children over—the volunteer work at the Animal Rescue Center was worth doing, after all, it had the footprints of princes and princesses, and its prestige was a bit higher than the rescue centers in South Africa and Namibia.

The three of them didn’t care about the changes happening at the Sinaloa Money Vault. Thirty tons of banknotes sounded like a lot, but in reality, there might only be slightly over two hundred million in cash due to the large amount of small bills.

Unbeknownst to Tony and his colleagues, the seasoned FBI operatives had already found several workers responsible for counting and packing the cash, gaining some insights into the situation inside the warehouse.

The forty individuals tasked with counting and packing the money were illegal immigrant women from the local Los Angeles area, and Tony treated them as drug traffickers’ accomplices, even arranging for them to be specifically watched.

Those veterans, though they disdained Tony’s ’creating problems out of nothing,’ did indeed obtain some marginally useful information.

In the past, faced with so much money, letting the FBI, DEA, or Los Angeles police handle it alone would have required much contemplation.

But now that it was done, the Sinaloa Group would have to bear the loss even if it was more than double.

By comparison, Joe Ga certainly had more to worry about.

Because P·B was the main attacking force, and he also had to court the Gulf Group to offset some pressure after offending the Sinaloa.

Joe Ga stayed at the villa for several hours, and once Tony and his team had fully located their operational center, he returned to Monica’s villa.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Monica, wearing vibrant shorts and a sheer off-the-shoulder top, leaning on the terrace on the first floor, gazing at the distant sea.

This woman seemed to have the ears of a hound; the moment Joe Ga entered, she suddenly turned around, her face showing an expression as if she was about to open her heart, yet held back as if she had been wronged.

Joe Ga walked over cheerfully and suddenly spread his arms. As Monica looked on in surprise, he brushed past her, scooped up Adel waiting on the steps to greet him, then looked at a small table laden with sports pistol parts and said with a laugh to Nis, "Isn’t it a bit early to learn about guns? It’s better for a young girl to watch TV and play games, isn’t it?"

Nis glanced at Monica and then said to Joe Ga, "Monica thinks Adel is suitable for piano lessons, so I had her play the piano for Adel to listen. It turns out Adel prefers these ’toys.’

Joe Ga looked at Adel, whose eyes were shaped like crescent moons, and curiously said, "Have you decided too quickly? Actually, playing the piano and shooting aren’t conflicting."

Smirking slightly, Nis said, "It’s not too soon. Monica played for three hours, and Adel said she didn’t like it very much... I think Monica’s mood affected her performance. When she’s in a better mood, we can try again."

Joe Ga, looking at Monica who appeared as if she had eaten spoiled dog food, nodded and said, "Alright, let her play a little longer next time. Maybe Adel will like it."

As he spoke, just as Monica was about to storm off in a fit of annoyance, Joe Ga laughingly said, "Go change into something more appropriate. Come out with me for a bit."

Monica, who had already turned around, stopped in her tracks, pointed to her nose, and looked at Joe Ga, asking, "Me?"

With a matter-of-fact nod, Joe Ga replied, "Of course you. You’re the only one here who’s underdressed. Change into something proper, and I’ll take you out for a chat, alright?"

A little unaccustomed to Joe Ga’s sudden invitation, Monica cautiously asked, "Where are we going?"

Joe Ga pointed toward the sea and said, "We’re going to have a talk with that Alexanderson. It makes me uncomfortable being watched by him all the time. Let’s go settle the matter."

Monica was stunned for a moment, and then cried out in surprise. She wanted to rush down and embrace Joe Ga, but halfway there ’Kitten’ grabbed her.

Excited, Monica kissed ’Kitten’ on the face and then blew Joe Ga several kisses before turning and running toward her room on the second floor.

’Kitten’ looked at Nis and said somewhat awkwardly, "Uh, don’t be angry, she’s just that kind of person. I’ll keep an eye on her in the future."

Frowning, Nis looked at ’Kitten’ and said, "Just don’t meddle too much…"

’Kitten’: "......"
