Chapter 30: After Subduing Akai Shuichi, Immediate Task Assignment!
Akai Shuichi's eyes were complex.
The more he heard, the more he trembled.
Truly knowing the truth, a bitter taste filled his mouth.
No wonder...
He finally understood the words Li Ze had spoken to him earlier.
Indeed!
His own perspective was too shallow.
“Just know it yourself, don't delve into it.”
“Just focus on being your undercover agent and doing your job.”
“Remember, don't take any risks.”
“Because the existence or non-existence of the Black Organization is fundamentally unrelated to evidence or intelligence.”
“Simply put, it's acting.”
“Investigating requires evidence, but counter-terrorism only needs a list.”
“The so-called evidence is useless!”
“Since the organization wants you to infiltrate my side, then just work for me. Communicate with the organization at regular intervals, and just give them some unimportant information.”
“I've also infiltrated their ranks, so I won't need to pay for their information in the future.”
“If you need anything, I can also arrange for some people to help you.”
“In short, safety is paramount!”
“I value you greatly, so protect yourself.”
“After you return from your undercover mission with the organization, I will arrange for your promotion.”
“Whether it’s the Public Security Bureau or the Metropolitan Police Department, feel free to ask for any support you need. My uncle will help you handle everything.”
Li Ze waved his hand.
Obviously.
The so-called Black Organization might seem mysterious and terrifying to ordinary people.
But fundamentally.
It's just a matter of not being on the same level.
For someone at the level of a tycoon like him, the so-called Black Organization is probably just a black glove.
Even now.
Li Ze was certain that even if the Black Organization were to be eliminated, the Umuar Corporation would likely land safely.
Simply put.
The so-called Black Organization is merely the black glove of a tycoon.
It's likely the same as the so-called PMC behind him.
Other tycoons, even Suzuki.
They probably have it too!
The reason is simple.
For those at the level of tycoons, because their wealth is so vast, if they don't have some kind of private force, they probably wouldn't be able to protect that enormous fortune.
Akai Shuichi: “...”
Hearing this statement, his mouth twitched slightly.
He felt a sense of awe.
The difference between joining a tycoon and fighting alone is really not a small matter.
Before.
It was incredibly difficult for him to accomplish something.
Now?
With a simple sentence from Li Ze, the problem is easily resolved.
But, forget it.
Since he has made his choice, Akai Shuichi is too lazy to think about it.
So.
Taking a deep breath, Akai Shuichi curiously asked.
“Okay, I understand.”
“I will follow your orders, boss, but could you tell me?”
“How do you actually view the Black Organization?”
“It seems like you don't take them seriously at all?”
Yes.
If it were before, Akai Shuichi wouldn't ask this.
After all, in his view.
The organization is a huge criminal organization, with no other possibilities.
But now?
Through his conversation with Li Ze, his horizons have expanded.
It is precisely because of this that he has begun to think.
So.
He is genuinely curious about how Li Ze views the organization.
And, in response.
Li Ze just shrugged, then said with disdain.
“The Black Organization? Haha!”
“In my opinion, it's a joke.”
“Even if Gin goes crazy extorting people every day, how much wealth can he actually get for the organization in a year?”
“From what I know about the organization, it's a huge force spanning the globe, with headquarters in Europe, and bases in North America, Southeast Asia, and Africa.”
“Do you think they can maintain such massive expenses just by extorting money?”
“Not to mention the secret experiments!”
“So, cut it out!”
“No matter what the situation, the underlying principle remains the same. Someone provides the organization with such enormous funding, but the global currency supply is fixed.”
“Since no country in the world has found that they're missing a huge amount of funds.”
“Considering this, the issue becomes simple.”
“No matter how it's masked, the fact that it has a stable source of finance alone is enough to explain a lot.”
“Therefore, my opinion is that it's likely a tycoon operating behind the scenes as a black glove!”
“Just like our Umbrella, the true basis of our existence is not the industry, but the PMC military contractors in the United States.”
“If wealth accumulates to a certain extent, and you don't have military protection, you're just meat in the mouths of others.”
Akai Shuichi looked a bit astonished.
Obviously.
He didn't expect to hear such an answer from Li Ze.
But at the same time.
Though it seemed impossible at first, considering the nature of the major tycoons, he couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Yes.
Those tycoons might actually do such a thing to protect their family's wealth.
“Ugh, fine.” Akai Shuichi looked bitter: “Those tycoons, forget it!”
“My mind is a bit muddled right now, I need some time to sort things out.”
“Boss, if you're free, I want to go to bed early tonight.”
And in response.
After pondering for a moment, Li Ze threw a photo at Akai Shuichi: “This is the guy who deals with the organization, he probably smuggles weapons privately, and he should have a legitimate company on the surface.”
“Boss, you're planning to…” Akai Shuichi looked astonished.
Li Ze sneered, then said calmly: “Do the same thing as the organization, black eat black. I want all his weapon stock.”
Akai Shuichi froze.
Damn it.
Why does his boss want these weapons?
And.
He wants him, a Public Security officer, to investigate?
“Boss, please calm down!” Akai Shuichi quickly spoke.
However, in response.
Li Ze just shook his head, then spoke in a dismissive tone.
“This is standard procedure, why are you so scared, Akai Shuichi?”
“Alright, I'll be honest with you.”
“I'm going to use these weapons to retaliate against the Black Organization. They were the ones who attacked me, after all.”
“If I don't retaliate, wouldn't that mean I'm afraid?”
“I know these hyenas all too well.”
“The more you back down, the more arrogant they become.”
“So, for long-term stability, I need to give them a harsh lesson.”
“I don't lack manpower, but I lack a supply of ghost weapons.”
“The guns my people use are all registered with the Metropolitan Police Department, so it's too much of a hassle to re-acquire weapons.”
“Right now?
“Since someone is delivering goods to my doorstep, why should we refuse?”
