You All Forced My Hand!
_3 Alas.
Steven looked at the performance of his subordinates and confird his decision again.
To win might an death, and to lose might an death, too; a temporary win could lead to a possible future death, while a temporary loss would make Achilles force him into a fight to the death—dying even faster.
He couldn’t play this ga in California, a stranger acting as a dog for Achilles.
“I need soone to be attacked with , then we both get injured, gunshot wounds, I could even end up in the ICU.”
Once this task is done, we can go back to Missouri, gentlen.
The waters in California are too deep, and I can’t let everyone be trapped here.”
You’re one darker than the next, none of you take Arica’s laws seriously, nor its system; what can I do?
I run!
Mr.
Achilles, I am incapable of completing your task, let’s leave it at that.
“What?
Boss, are you joking?”
The younger agents were still questioning, while the more senior ones were already exchanging glances, coming to one conclusion—our boss is indeed humane and treats us well.
Yes, they are agents of the FBI, and they want to make achievents and climb up the ranks, but so people clearly shouldn’t be rashly ssed with.
The pressing nature of Eris was sothing they had investigated themselves; the complex mix of the West Coast’s dream-chasing boys left them all dumbfounded.
They had a feeling that compared to the elaborate sches of Mr.
Eris on the West Coast, the criminals in Missouri seed like they were playing house.
Capturing Eris and fighting against Eris could be ritorious, but the blunt criminals from Missouri seed easier to gain experience from.
In this declining empire, things always develop in the direction of least resistance because no one wants to take responsibility.
At this mont, Forbes, the head of Gru’s formal vertical managent departnt, began to retreat.
“No joke, the waters in California are too deep.
We are from Missouri, you all have known for many years, and I dare to speak the truth.
This ti we were transferred together by the command of the Caramakris Family, with soone wanting to use us as a knife, but why should we from Missouri care about Gru’s problems?
Californians should clean up their own pile of shit!
We need to find a reason to leave, the deeper we get involved, the more dangerous it is.”
The subordinates nodded in agreent; LAPD’s unity and strength in fighting for investigative authority on this matter was eerily solid; they had never seen such a solid police force.
Moreover, Chief Glu was just a possible problem; there was no evidence proving he was indeed problematic, and there was no need to investigate at all!
Let Californians deal with their high-pressure situations; we just want to return to the warmth of our happy hos, wives, and children.
Arica?
Heh, we are not the masters of Arica!
All that gibberish is for deceiving the common people; we are Forbes!
“Boss, if it’s difficult to handle the situation, we can just drag it out and grind it down slowly, and if it can’t be handled in the future, we can go back then.
There’s no need to take risks.”
Steven nodded with relief, the people he brought to California were trustworthy, indeed willing to consider his well-being.
“The Caramakris has asked to handle this matter well, and I must try my best to do it.
It’s too dangerous if we really go through with it, so we can only do our best, gentlen, I need soone to take a bullet with , otherwise it will be too noticeable alone.
Don’t worry, I can stay in the ICU, the other just needs a minor injury, we’re all skilled, a small gunshot wound shouldn’t lead to any accidents.”
The subordinates looked at each other, and a young agent stepped forward.
“I’ll do it, my body is quite strong, boss, you should not take such a big risk, it’s enough to have a close call.”
A fifty-year-old agent stopped the young hot-headed agent.
“Let do it, you’ll have many more opportunities to distinguish yourself in the future.
I injured my leg in my early years and I’ll be dically retired in a couple of years, a little more injury won’t have an impact.”
Steven nodded and sighed.
“Gentlen, it was my oversight to bring you to California this ti, I am willing to take responsibility, so I hope you understand that everyone makes mistakes, even I have things I cannot do.”
—————–
Ma Jian was caught between two fears, that of Gru and Steven.
Gru, implicated by Temir, was carefully struggling and contending with Forbes.
Steven, placed in California by Achilles to bite at Gru, had the watchful eyes of Achilles behind him and the cruelty of a top corrupted policeman in front, making the dilemma-ridden Steven decide to shoulder it himself.
He understood risk managent and realized the difficulty of the task after eting Eris, so he quickly decided to cut his losses—cutting the losses was necessary despite high sunk costs, otherwise, he would be entirely engulfed.
Steven saw it very clearly; both Gru and Achilles were the least human of beings, offending either of them would hardly end well.
If you can’t win against them, then run, I won’t serve them anymore!
He truly was an extraordinary talent; this wave of a huge loss with a flash escape saved him from Gru Group’s super retaliation.
Ti rewinds to two days earlier, top corrupt policeman Gru, furious, t with Cheng Daqi.
“Cheng, you’ve set up!”
CEO Cheng had initially recomnded that Gru kill Forbes, but after Gru did just that, it brought the scrutiny of Achilles.
Gru was completely numb.
Achilles’s thods were too swift, firstly removing the leader of the California Forbes office, then maneuvering Steven over.
Then there was an investigation rights battle that seed dull on the surface but tumultuous underneath.
Chief Glu relied on his own prestige to withstand the pressure from Forbes, turning the ABC doorstep football case into a solid case.
Only after that did Gru finally take a breath of relief.
