Chapter 82 Promotion to Senior Police Officer
Two full days have passed, and the cause of Moss Cohen's death has been determined to be that he was killed by a drug cartel assassin. As for the assassin, Anton Baden, whose name has been found, he has vanished since that night and is considered by both the police and the underworld to have absconded with the money.
In fact, it's impossible to find in the vast desert. Let alone two days, even one night would have covered the location of the vehicle with sand.
So both the Rocky Society and the Mexican cartel sent people to hunt down Anton Baden. For a time, a wanted poster circulated in the underground forces of southeastern California, and the $100 million reward aroused the interest of many.
It's important to understand that $400 million is no small sum, especially since they're making an example of someone, which is different from having the money confiscated by the police.
The Rocky Gang, once the second largest gang in Las Vegas, originated in Page, a small town in the Rocky Mountains, and has a history of 80 years.
Thirty years ago, the Rockys lost power in Las Vegas and were driven out of the city by the First and Third Independence parties, forcing them to shift their development center to southeastern California.
Today, their gang's influence extends to Lancaster, Santa Clarita, and even parts of Los Angeles.
If the 13K triad in Clermont, whose influence extended to a city of 30 people, could only be considered a third-rate gang in America, then the Rocky Gang was once close to first-rate, but is now a long-established second-rate gang, with influence over several major cities within the state.
Originally, one of the main businesses of the Loki Society was drug smuggling with the Mexican Watermelon, but their performance has been greatly reduced in the past six months.
In the conference room of the Rocky Society headquarters in Lancaster, a long conference table is surrounded by nearly 20 people.
A man in his seventies was sitting at the head of the table; he was none other than Charles Thompson, the boss of the Rocky Clan.
On the left and right sides, at the head of the table, are Austin Scott, the deputy (second-in-command), and Careettner, the advisor (third-in-command).
A 59 year old and a 55 year old.
The three were the top three executives of the Loki Society, followed by 12 cadres and middle-level managers, some in charge of the white industry, some in charge of the gray industry, and some in charge of the black industry.
The entire conference room erupted in chaos until Charles Thompson opened his eyes, his wrinkled face still exuding authority.
"Austin, tell me about the white flour business."
"Yes, brother."
"This quarter wasn't easy. Five months ago, there was a high-intensity crackdown on drug dealers in Clermont. Even though we don't mainly operate in that area, we still lost millions of dollars. Now we've almost recovered."
"As for the Lancaster to Santa Clarita route, it lost $500 million this quarter and earned about $600 million less. The subsequent impact has not yet been taken into account."
Charles Thompson's expression was very serious, making his subordinates hold their breath; after all, an old lion is still a lion.
"Tell me about the losses; it's a whopping $1000 million."
"A few days ago, after we had a conflict with the Mexicans, we sent people to pick up the goods, but unfortunately, a lousy cop named Ethan Lee ruined it. So the government took all the heroin, and Anton took the $400 million in cash and we can't find him anywhere."
The nearly ten million yuan figure caused many executives to frown. This was a significant blow to them, not only affecting their business in the next quarter but also resulting in the deaths of more than ten people, all of whom were official members of the Loki Society, including two executives.
Austin Scott turned on the projector and displayed a map of southeastern California.
"Most importantly, Ethan Lee's Lano police station is blocking two smuggling routes, and we don't know when it will cause trouble again. If we change our route and take other roads in the desert, the risk is too high."
Many people looked solemn. Indeed, they had traveled other routes through the desert before, and the chances of encountering trouble were dozens of times higher, since other underworld groups also wanted a piece of the pie.
If someone is killed, who knows which faction did it?
Austin Scott offered his opinion on what he believed to be a feasible solution.
"As long as we get rid of Ethan Lee, our business can return to normal. I heard that Ethan Lee has been in contact with some small gangs. Giving him more time will only cause us more trouble."
The third-in-command, Carey Turner, proposed another solution.
"We can bribe him to cooperate; it's not like it's the first time we've done it."
"That guy killed one of our officers."
"Hatred is irrelevant; business is what matters most."
"you...."
'
The two faction leaders were locked in a standoff until Charles Thompson spoke up.
"Stop arguing. Carey, you try first. Austin, you make the final preparations. If they don't agree, just kill them."
"We understand."
[Ding, Illusion skill enhanced, consuming 44 Desire-type 1-star rewards and 26 Knowledge-type rewards.]
[Illusion. Extreme: Consumes 20 Spirit points to create an illusion of yourself, controlled by your consciousness, with no distance limitations, just like a real person. It can materialize and touch objects, possesses one-fifth of the host's physique, and will disappear if attacked beyond its physical limits while materialized. It can be filmed by a camera and lasts for 24 hours. Spirit +6, Strength +1]
Endurance +1, Agility +1
【Strength: 32】
[Endurance: 30]
[Agility: 27]
【Spirit: 32】
The enhanced illusion skill is terrifyingly powerful. The addition of the ability to touch physical objects is already outrageous, and the increase in constitution is comparable to a 5-star reward. It truly deserves to be the first enhanced 4-star skill.
Li Yisen happily straightened his clothes in front of the mirror, noticing that his epaulets consisted of two mountain-shaped bars and a five-pointed star.
Yes, he got promoted.
First, there was the act of selflessly saving lives, which embarrassed the Los Angeles County Sheriff; then, there was the killing of five hardened criminals and the seizure of 92 kilograms of drugs.
With multiple achievements, his superiors had no choice but to make an exception and disregard his seniority, promoting him from Level 1 to Senior Constable within six months, making him one of the fastest-rising officers in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Next, Lee Yi-sen hesitated about his promotion path: should he become a detective or aim directly for superintendent?
It takes time to become a superintendent; don't even think about it for a year or two.
Becoming a Level 1 detective isn't difficult, but without subordinates to farm rewards, it slows things down.
"It's such a difficult choice."
As Lee Ethan sighed, he headed towards the town hall building. Mayor Kyle Williams of Lano suddenly contacted him, and he wondered what that pot-bellied old man wanted to talk about.
The office door rang, and 61-year-old Kyle Williams gave Ethan Lee a very warm hug.
"It's an honor to have Station Master Ethan here. Please have a seat."
"Mayor, is there anything I can help you with?"
Kyle Williams chuckled belatedly.
"I almost forgot the important matter. It's like this, Station Chief Ethan, have you noticed that the town's economy has worsened these past few days?"
"Is there?"
"Yes, there are, you just don't realize it: auto repair shops, warehouse rentals, restaurants, casinos, real estate, bars..."
Hotels were affected, the worst part being the fighting, which made everyone in the town feel unsafe, and...
Kyle Williams' voice trailed off as Ethan Lee stared at him coldly.
"So you're here as a lobbyist?"
"No, I'm doing this for the sake of the town. The more you block those drug dealers, the more they will resist, and sooner or later it will affect the town."
"Which gang are you talking about?"
Kyle Williams hesitated for a moment.
"Loki Club"
The Loki Club, isn't it just a buyer of that batch of goods?
Li Yisen wasn't sure what the other party was thinking and needed time to consider, so he gave an ambiguous answer.
"I'll think about it, but I must advise the mayor not to get too involved with drug cartels."
Ethan Lee left, and Kyle Williams told the Rocky League the answer, but the Rocky League's second and third leaders made different decisions.
