"Cooperation, how to cooperate?" Director Ed looked at Bill and asked.

"It's very simple. Please ask Chief Ed to help take care of our business, just like before. In addition to traditional business, we have recently started a small business and placed some game consoles in bars and convenience stores." Bill said.

"I heard from my subordinates that there are many slot machines and pinball machines in the Spanish gang's territory. Are you the ones who made them?"

"Yes, a humble little business."

"Chief Ed, if you want to cover up the truth and shut up the reporters, you can occasionally let the police seize a few cameras, but don't let it affect business," Bill said.

"Director Ed takes care of us, so naturally we won't be stingy." Then he put the stack of money back into Ed's arms.

Grab the handle.

Money tempts you.

There was no way Ed could refuse.

If he dared to refuse, the end would be ruin and imprisonment. He shuddered at the thought of such an outcome.

He took the money from his pocket and put it in his pocket.

Bill smiled when he saw Ed's actions. Boss Hardy's plan was really effective. The arrogant director in front of him was completely subdued.

"Chief Ed, I'll take my leave now. I know your office phone number. Call me if you have any questions." Bill said, opened the car door and got out.

Soon the car behind left, and Bill smiled and waved to Ed from the window.

Ed looked grim.

The feeling of being threatened and controlled by others is very uncomfortable. The other party has evidence against him and can destroy him at any time as long as he dares not to cooperate.

But he knew,

He felt that he had been firmly bound. Perhaps he had fallen into the trap since the day he came into contact with Danny. Ed cursed Danny eighteen thousand times in his heart.

I smoked several cigarettes in a row in the car.

In the end, I couldn't come up with any good solution.

Helplessly dropped the cigarette butt.

This is all I can do for now. Maybe one day when I step down from the position of director, I can get rid of the control of these gangs.

......

Bill was sitting in the car.

But I was extremely excited.

He had just threatened the Los Angeles Police Chief, a real big shot, but he bowed down under his threat.

This feeling made him excited.

It turns out that these so-called big shots who have great power and control the fate of ordinary people are just like that. As long as you grasp their weak spots, they will still obey you obediently.

After returning to the security company, Bill met Hardy and told him the whole process in detail in an excited tone.

"Boss, you don't know how satisfying it is to have a big shot at your feet. I like this feeling."

Hardy saw how excited he was.

I thought to myself that this guy would not start to develop the attributes of a big shot from now on.

"Bill, keep ordering slot machines and pinball machines and expand this business," said Hardy.

"Okay, Boss. I'll send someone to San Francisco to purchase tomorrow."

"I'm going to Las Vegas tomorrow, so you keep an eye on things in Los Angeles," said Hardy.

"Are you going to see Mr. Siegel?" Bill asked.

"right."

"Boss, now that we have complete control of this territory, can we officially establish a gang?" Bill said excitedly.

This is why Hardy went to Las Vegas.

After more than three months, Hardy flew to Las Vegas again.

"Guys, we're about to take off. Are you all fastened your seat belts? Don't say I didn't remind you. I won't be responsible if you get thrown out without your seat belts."

the pilot shouted to a dozen or so passengers.

Hardy was surprised to find that the plane he was on this time was the same flight as last time, and the pilot was the same person, even the words he shouted were the same.

Las Vegas in April

The weather had turned dry and hot, and Hardy was sweating as soon as he got off the plane.

The person who came to pick up Hardy this time was Siegel's bodyguard from last time. He took Hardy's simple luggage and put it in the trunk.

"Mr. Hardy, Mr. Siegel is waiting for you at the construction site."

When the car arrived at the Flamingo Casino construction site, Hardy found that it had changed a lot. The last time he came here, it was just an empty lot with bulldozers shoveling sand and gravel, but this time, many places have already taken shape.

The main building of the casino has been completed and workers are decorating it.

Other facilities can also be seen.

When Hardy saw Siegel, he found that after not seeing him for several months, Siegel had become much darker and thinner due to being exposed to the Las Vegas sun.

Siegel is a somewhat paranoid guy. Once he sets his mind on something, he will work hard to do it. He took a fancy to Las Vegas and thought it would have great development in the future, so he put all his enthusiasm into building it.

Siegel saw Hardy, smiled and patted his shoulder, pointed to the buildings behind him and said:

"The last time you came was just after Christmas. Now it's April. Can you already see the plan in place?"

"When do you expect it to be completed?" Hardy asked.

“My expectation is that it will be completed in May or June next year. Now only the main structure has been completed, which is still far from the most luxurious casino in the world in my mind. I want the most luxurious decoration and the most advanced equipment so that everyone who comes here will be shocked.” Siegel said.

Siegel is a perfectionist artist, and his personality determines his style of doing things.

"Mr. Siegel, I have something to report to you." Hardy said.

"What is it?"

"I have taken down the Spanish Gang. Dani is dead. Now I have taken over the entire Spanish Gang's territory." said Hardy.

Hearing Hardy's words, Siegel, who was used to big storms, was also stunned.

"Dani is dead?"

"Yes, he died in Colombia, but now very few people know that he is dead. The public propaganda is that he has found a place to retire."

"How many people died when the gangs took over? I read the Los Angeles newspaper every day, but why are there no reports of large-scale conflicts?" Siegel asked puzzledly.

"I used some tricks so that there was no large-scale conflict," said Hardy.

Siegel suddenly became interested. He liked people who did things smartly, as he thought that was a sign of wisdom. He looked down on those who just tried to force their way through things.

Hardy said he took over the gang through a scheme, and Siegel wanted to know what method he used.

Hardy did not hide anything and told the story from the very beginning of the plan.

Since he left Las Vegas last time and decided on a plan to deal with the Spanish gang, he began recruiting people and expanded the team to more than 40 people in three months.

He sent his men out to keep abreast of news from Spain and keep track of their movements. When he learned that Dani was going to Colombia to purchase goods, the operation officially began.

Dani was killed and buried in the wilderness.

Hardy captured the military advisor Simon, summoned the leaders of the Spanish gang to a meeting, and killed all the leaders at once.

Then he quickly replaced the thugs from the Spanish gang with his own people.

In this way, the gang takeover was completed without any violent conflict.

Siegel looked at Hardy with admiration in his eyes.

"Hadi, you've done a great job, even better than when I came to Los Angeles and took over Jack Dragna's business. I promised you before that if you take over the Spanish gang's territory, I will let you build a gang. Now you can be your own boss."

Hardy shook his head.

"Mr. Siegel, I don't want to be the leader of this gang." Hardy said.

Sigel was stunned again.

Hardy always surprises him today.

Hardy looked at Siegel and said seriously:

"Mr. Siegel, I don't want to be bound by a gang. I am more optimistic about legitimate business in the future, so I plan to let my brother Bill Peter be the gang leader."
