Awakening

“Do you know where are the missing Black Dragon members now?”

“From our undercover agent’s report, in addition to selling off all of their industries, they appear to order a batch of tickets to go abroad. They seem indifferent to other gangs robbing their turfs. They may want to sell the several important industries belong to the Black Dragon first and then leave the United States.”

“Those people are dangerous. No matter what they want to do, I want you to keep monitor them very closely. Don’t make any mistakes. The recent continuous occurrence of street shootings and bombings have made the gentleman very angry.”

“I understand, Sir.”

Turning around to look at the ugly complexion of the Intelligence Officer, the Colonel dryly said: “Officer, do you know how many gangs, as well as their members in the United States?”

The Intelligence Officer replied: “Report, Sir. In the entire United States, there are around twenty thousand gangs and around seven hundred thirty thousand gang members.”

“These are worrying figures. Now these gangs have harmed the United States more than the terrorist organizations. If similar gang wars and bombings continue, you should be very clear about the severity of the consequences. I hope you can stop the development of this situation as soon as possible, which is also what the gentlemen want.”

“I, I understand.” The Intelligence Officer immediately responded.

As the two men walked out of the Colonel’s office, looking at the self-satisfied smile of the Lieutenant Colonel, the Intelligence Officer coldly humphed and briskly left. Looking at his angry back, the Lieutenant Colonel’s face was incomparably smug.

“Master, as per your plan, the Black Dragon members in the United States have been shrunk down.” After hanging up the phone, Rei Li said to Lei Yin who was reading the Newspaper.

“How many people can we directly command now?” Lei Yin asked without lifting his head.

“Because New York and Philadelphia are our main sites, there are still a lot of our people there. There are probably three thousand people. If we include the several people from other areas and even the cadres, we have a total of about four thousand people. A pity that some c*nts defected to other gangs. Otherwise, we can at least reach nine thousand people.”

Lei Yin flatly said: “When the tree falls, the foxes scatter; It is a normal phenomenon. There is no difference in operating a company and running a gang. If the company is going to fail, of course, the employees want to find another way out. For us to gather these many people is already exceed my expectation. What about the situations in the areas that we have abandoned?”

Rei Li proudly said: “Those sons of b*tches, they don’t need us to incite trouble. Hearing that the Black Dragon is withdrawing from the area, they were like a pack of hungry mad dogs, rushing to bite each other up; It saves us a lot of trouble.”

Lei Yin thought for a moment and then said: “That’s not enough, tell our brothers in those areas to provoke them. The more they fight each other the more it will help our plan.”

Rei Li picked up an Apple and took a bite, “No problem. We just need to send a few killers to kill some of them and they will bite each other even harder.”

“Where is Chang’an?”

“He said he is trying to think of a way to quietly bring those people here, they will probably arrive tomorrow night.”

“Very good, now we just need to wait for the opening ceremony.” Lei Yin laid down the newspaper, picked up the teacup, and slowly took a sip.

Rei Li’s eyes revealed a look of excitement.

For several days, the police departments in Los Angeles, Pittsburg, Chicago, Washington D.C, Philadelphia, New York, and other big cities were bruised and battered.

Because in less than a week’s time, almost every day there were street shootings and bombings because of turf wars between gangs.

And these are turf wars between major gangs to compete for territory, all of which originally belong to the Black Dragon, who, in just several days, seemed to vanish into thin air.

Although most of the members were still stationed in the various branches of the companies that appear to be legally registered, none of them tried to control the outside gangs that were trying to rob them of their sites.

Without a strong repression force, more and more gangs joined the ranks of the competition. Because, all along, the sites that were occupied by the Black Dragons are the prime locations in major cities, it can be said that every inch of their land worth in gold, and that was why all the gangs wanted to carve up as many pieces as they can from this super fat area.

At this time, more and more people began to believe the local rumor that said the Black Dragon was about to withdraw from the United States.

Although the police have deployed some of their officers from calmer states to help quell the deterioration of events, with the mysterious killing of a few important people in the gangs, things began to lose control. From pure competition for interest, the gang wars have evolved into competition for interest plus hatred, which turned it into a battle royal.

Now every day one can read in the newspaper about these turf wars. And as time passed, the situation has become increasingly fierce, some states have even suffered several bomb explosions, and the number of casualties was increasing day by day. Almost on a daily basis, the Police Departments in those areas that were hit received phone calls from terrified citizens. More and more opinion piece in the newspapers condemned the Government and the efficiency of the relevant departments.

Relatives to other areas, Washington D.C., Philadelphia and New York were calmer.

Historically, the number of gangs in these areas were lower than the other. Moreover, because these are the few most important cities in the United States, the police forces here were sufficient.

Even so, street shootings between gangs still happen from time to time. But, compared to other cities, the size is slightly smaller.

Things have gone to this point, even ordinary citizens also felt the disturbing atmosphere that seemed to be floating in the air.

But this relative sense of calm was broken four days later at night.
