"Narcotics network distribution plan?"
Leo couldn't help but feel surprised after reading the LED screen in the gathering room of Mr. Holland's mansion. Moments ago Leo had managed to take away the flashdrive containing Mr. Walter's business plan data and brought Mr. Walter's credit card.
In the private gathering room in Mr. Holland's mansion, Leo along with his parents, Bram, Hans, and Bennedict - Mr. Holland's personal secretary, read Mr. Walter's business plan data.
Leo did not expect that there was a narcotics network distribution plan in Mr. Walter's flashdisk.
"What is this?" asked Leo confused.
"The DID or The Dragon In the Dark Cartel narcotics network will expand its narcotics distribution alliance to New York."
"The headquarters for drug deals will be The Giant Resort & Restaurant, a restaurant to be built by Wal Innovate Group."
Hearing Bram and Hans read the information in Mr. Walter's business plan, Leo was dumbfounded.
"That's Mr. Walter's company," Leo said to Hans, who was reading the information on Mr. Walter's business plan.
"So, Mr. Walter's main goal is not to build a restaurant with resort facilities, but to build the headquarters of the DID Cartel's narcotics alliance," Bram said.
Leo was still staring at the leadership structure of the New York narcotics alliance. The leader of the New York DID Cartel alliance was Mr. Walter. While his deputy was Jacob, the man who would marry Lily.
"Mr. Walter wants to profit from the sale of narcotics at his resort restaurant?" Leo asked, inferring.
"That's right. If he does that, his profits will be multiplied many times over," Mr. Holland, Leo's father, said.
"He's going to hurt a lot of people," Leo said. "Do you know what the DID Cartel is like, Dad?"
Mr. Holland let out a long breath. He froze for a few seconds as his face turned troubled.
"The DID Cartel is a narcotics business network whose center is in Mexico. The cartel does have alliances with various countries in America, Europe, and Asia.
"You know, the DID Cartel narcotics network is very difficult to catch. The parent members of the DID Cartel are five companies. To reveal who is the leader of each parent member, the Attorney General's Offices of various countries need to work hard.
"If the DID Cartel is going to expand its network to New York, it is likely that Mr. Walter's Wal Innovate Group company is the leader."
"That means we have to reveal Mr. Walter is the alliance leader of the DID Cartel from New York?" asked Leo.
"That's right. I think it's very difficult. Mr. Walter must have a protective backing," replied Mr. Holland.
"I've heard that if one network is exposed, the rest of the business network will also be exposed. We're not just dealing with Mr. Walter, Mr. Leo," Bram said.
"There are a total of six parent members of the DID Cartel. That means there are six leaders of each alliance," Leo tried to think as he said the conclusion of the explanation.
"If there's already an agreement like that, it means there will be a secret meeting. If there is indeed a secret meeting, we have a great chance of finding out about them," Leo continued.
"You mean undercover?" asked Hans.
"Maybe we can find another way," Leo replied.
"Their secret meetings will definitely have very tight protection, Leo. You won't easily penetrate the business circle of the six parent members of the DID Cartel," Mr. Holland replied.
Leo actually didn't feel entirely sure of his thoughts either. But if he thought about it, there couldn't be no loopholes for the secret meetings of the six parent members of the DID Cartel.
"We can't come directly to the secret meeting place, Father. We have to be part of their business," Leo said.
Mr. Holland frowned, showing a faint disapproval.
"What do you mean?"
"If we can't attack from outside the shell, then we have to get inside the shell," Leo revealed one slogan he had heard during his time in the business world.
"Wait, Mr. Leo..." Hans stopped what he was saying. His gaze looked suspiciously at Leo.
"Do you want us to enter or join their business network?" Hans asked.
"No, Leo," Mrs. Holland, Leo's mother, argued. "You have no idea how ruthless they are."
Leo turned his gaze to Mrs. Holland. He saw the obvious concern on Mrs. Holland's face.
"I'm not putting myself out there in front of them, Mrs. Holland. I'm just... perhaps a behind-the-scenes, unknown, but most powerful part of their business development," Leo said.
Mr. Holland let out a long breath at Leo's explanation.
"Leo, they'll know you're watching them anyway," Mr. Holland replied.
"That's bound to happen, Dad," Leo replied. "But at least I've found out about them. In the meantime, I need to find out about each and every one of them."
"I'm not sure they'll be approachable," Bram replied, also wearing a worried expression.
"The most important thing is that we defend that land, Bram. We can't let the investors of the Araizona Center Land Residential Property development project fail," Leo tried to reassure.
Bram did not answer. But from his expression, he seemed to want to carry out Leo's plan.
"If we fail to get the land and the investors have already given us 50 million dollars, the investors won't trust us. Araizona Group Company's reputation will suffer," Leo said, looking at the LED screen seriously.
The whole room fell silent. They didn't dare agree, nor did they dare argue.
Doubt engulfed them all. Because what they were dealing with now was the DID Cartel-a huge and unbeatable narcotics business network.
Mr. Holland was worried about how Leo could survive against the DID Cartel. This was the first time for Leo to face such fierce business competition.
"Leo, how can you fight them?" Mr. Holland asked.
Leo replied with a smile, "I didn't fight them, Father. I approached them slowly and built trust with them."
"They will be very angry if they find out you betrayed them in the end," Mr. Holland was still saying the worst case scenario.
"That's right, Leo. Their anger might be very dangerous for you," Mrs. Holland, his mother replied.
Leo instantly remembered the moment he was killed by the cruel Mr. John-loan shark. He also remembered his entire life of only getting unfair treatment, even some violence from Mr. Walter.
This wasn't the first time Leo had faced a difficult life situation.
However Leo considers it, in the end there is only one path he has to take: facing the six members of the DID Cartel's mothership.
Leo must triumph over Mr. Walter and avenge all the trash he's gotten. Leo must tell Liona that he is not a useless loser.
Also, to his parents who died tragically in an accident. His parents had worked as office boys for Mr. Walter's company. But they were treated unfairly.
"But Leo can't just stand by and watch Araizona Group Company crumble, Father," Leo said with conviction.
Mr. Holland was stunned to hear Leo's words.
Leo turned to Mr. Holland. The look in his eyes exuded strong ambition.
"It's been quite a few years since I just stood by and let my life be ruined. This time, even if it costs me the chance to live, at least I won't die in vain."
"Mr. Leo, I have the results of the information about Mr. Walter's credit card transactions."Leo and Bram stopped their steps when they heard Hans' voice. From the side, Hans walked over holding a paper in a hurry.Seeing the serious look on Hans' face made Leo know that there was important information. Leo felt a sense of enthusiasm as well as a sense of caution. "What did you find?" Leo asked. When Hans was beside Leo, he handed him a paper."I found a suspicious transaction two years ago. It coincided with the year when Mr. Walter was suspected of drug dealing business, but somehow a few months later, Mr. Walter was cleared of the charges""Drug dealing business? Two years ago?"Leo frowned after hearing Hans' explanation. Two years ago, Leo had indeed witnessed Mr. Walter who had been charged with drug dealing business. In that business, there was considerable fraud committed by Mr. Walter.Unfortunately, in just a short time, Mr. Walter was cleared of the charges.Leo was
"Leo! You've finally returned to the Araizona family! We've been waiting for you!"Leo still couldn't digest what was happening now.After a brief introduction with Hans and Bram, Leo was forced to join them in the car. To be precise, they went to this magnificent mansion-with a gold carving with the name Araizona Family above the main double doors.Leo's arrival was warmly welcomed by an elegantly dressed woman. There was a middle-aged man who walked up to him wearing an expensive blacksuit.Behind the two strangers, there were four other people. Two women and two men. All of them wore luxurious clothes."I missed you so much!" the woman said as she spread out both hands.Leo felt awkward when she was about to hug him. But he let her embrace him tightly."I've been waiting for you for years, Leo. I can't let you leave this family again," the woman said.From the side, Hans approached and said, "Mrs. Holland, we found Mr. Leo drowning in the lake. Luckily we still had time to save him
"Mr. Leo, the news about Mr. Walter belonging to a narcotics organization has spread everywhere." Bram gave a report after two weeks had passed. In the living room of Mr. Holland's mansion, Leo, Hans, and the Holland family were gathered together watching the news on television. For two weeks straight, ever since Leo had leaked about Mr. Walter being a member of the DID Cartel, all the news media had been playing the same topic. Leo already had nothing to say. As the news about Mr. Walter spread, Leo saw many people trying to find out about the DID Cartel."Leo, did you consider in advance that your actions would cause a crowd?" asked Mr. Holland. Leo turned his gaze to Mr. Holland who was still looking seriously at the television. "This is exactly what I predicted, Father. I knew they would find out about the DID Cartel," Leo replied. "Did you deliberately create this kind of excitement as a diversion?" Mr. Holland asked seriously. Leo nodded his head. "Yes, I did want to distr
"Mr. John has been found guilty of the premeditated murder committed against you, Mr. Leo."Leo looked at Bram who handed him his tablet to tell him a news article. In the car heading to the Araizona Group Company's corporate building, Leo read one of the news articles."The narcotics business at the AHA Club was also exposed. So he owns the biggest club in London?" Leo asked.Bram nodded his head. "That's right, Mr. Leo. After the investigation of yesterday's case, the prosecution found several acts of lawlessness committed by Mr. John."For a split second Leo read the rest of the news caption on the article. After that, he closed the tablet while letting out a long sigh."I already guessed that someone like him must have various illegal businesses behind. I just don't know how to uncover them," Leo said.Bram glanced at Leo through the small rearview mirror above his head."I'm still someone who doesn't have any power. I even borrowed money until I was almost killed by him," Leo sai
"Welcome everyone. Once again, we are all back in a meeting for one of Grand Ocean Restaurant's business innovations!" The flash light from the cameras shone right at Mr. Walter. As planned one week ago, today was a repeat of the meeting to discuss the plans for the Grand Ocean Restaurant. Since Leo had made a statement through a press conference about the DID Cartel, the news about the DID Cartel had suddenly disappeared. A week passed and many people were no longer talking about the DID Cartel. In the large company hall room, Mr. Walter faced the guests. This time he only invited a few CEOs of large international companies, well-known investors-including the five heads of the DID Cartel and Leo as the main investor, and journalists from media companies that Leo had paid. "I know the news about the DID Cartel a few weeks ago shocked you a lot. Ah, it was a very exciting news," Mr. Walter said with a chuckle. Leo just looked at Mr. Walter seriously. He sat in the very front seat,
"I don't know what you're talking about," Jonsen said as he gave a meaningful smile that was quite sardonic. Hearing Jonsen's words, Leo raised both eyebrows in astonishment. Somehow Leo already felt that there was something to hide just from the look on Jonsen's face. To be honest, Leo tried to provoke Jonsen to tell the truth. But after hearing Jonsen's reaction, Leo was curious if his guess was right. "I'm not sure you don't understand, Mr. Jonsen. Is it that after you kill a few people, you don't remember what they did?" Leo asked, insinuating Jonsen. Jonsen then laughed dismissively as he bowed his head briefly. He casually inhaled the cigarette smoke and looked up to exhale. "I just remember how they whimpered begging to stay alive," Jonsen retorted with no pity on his face. Leo's heart warmed up a little. He wondered if his suspicion was correct that Jonsen was involved in the death of his parents. He tried to restrain himself from being provoked by the emotions in hi
"Mr. Walter, can I talk to you for a moment?" Leo said, stopping Mr. Walter who was talking to some other company investors. Mr. Walter's gaze shifted to Leo. So did several investors who were in front of Mr. Walter. Seeing Leo's presence made them immediately put on expressions of surprise and astonishment. "Oh, Mr. Leo is also at this event?" asked one of the retail company CEOs, Mr. Orphan. Leo gave a brief smile in greeting. "Of course. What's keeping me from coming after Mr. Walter's invitation?" Leo replied with a chuckle. Mr. Orphan nodded his head in understanding. "Do you also intend to invest in Mr. Walter's business innovation? Aren't... you guys business rivals?" Getting that question made Leo flinch for a while. During his silence, he looked at each other with Mr. Walter as if asking how to answer. "I'm still considering it and don't want to tell you yet. Oh, about us being business rivals... just ask Mr. Walter," Leo replied. After Leo's glance fell on him, Mr.
Any business located there will benefit greatly. Because, that area is an area where conglomerates live who volunteer their money to provide business benefits.If the land was taken by Mr. Walter, then Leo would not be able to carry out the big housing project plan. While he had already received an investment of 50 million dollars for his project plan."I can't let Mr. Walter get the land," Leo muttered.After successfully finding where Mr. Walter was located, Leo immediately flicked the system screen. So that the shadow of the system screen disappeared instantly.Leo looked at Bram and Hans who looked confused."Come on, I know where Mr. Walter is!" Leo said then.Despite looking clueless, Bram and Hans just walked after Leo. They slipped between the visitors on the dance floor.Despite looking clueless, Bram and Hans simply walked after Leo. They slipped in between the patrons of the dance floor.Leo walked very fast so that he could quickly come to the VVIP floor. In the middle of
