Firepower is king

Chapter 26 To cut the weed, we must root it out

This person who lives on the edge of a knife all the time is different. He has a different way of thinking, a different way of doing things, and even a different way of bargaining.

I feel like these people don’t need to say anything more. They just start casually and understand the rest of the meaning by themselves. I can only say that they are all smart people.

Matt hit the nail on the head, but Frank just nodded casually and said: "How much cash you can come up with is the key. These days, cash is king."

Matt began to think. He thought for a long time and finally said: "I don't have much cash, less than 100,000 US dollars, but I have 1.4 million US dollars and 700,000 Mexican pesos in my bank account. I can do this at any time." To use the money, if you want more, I can only sell some assets. Give me twenty-four hours, and I can cash out one million U.S. dollars of light assets. Give me a week, and I can scrape together four million dollars. Dollars for you.”

Although Matt's payment method also requires installments, it only takes a week at most, and there is still a lot of cash. But Pete is different. Pete needs to get the assets belonging to Matt, and the time will not be too short.

Frank nodded and said, "Well, four million, do you know anything about the mother and son following behind?"

Matt sighed softly and said: "Of course, I wouldn't be in this situation if it weren't for them. That woman is a rich widow. Her husband was once a famous real estate developer in Tijuana. He was kidnapped a few years ago. She was killed by a drug dealer, and she took over her husband's business. Although the scale was reduced, it was not bad, and she did not let the company left by her husband fail."

After taking a few breaths, moving a little, and shivering in pain, Matt continued: "If she decides to move to the United States, she should be able to apply for a visa, but she obviously doesn't have time, so you can grab it An opportunity to strike a deal."

Frank nodded, but didn't say much, just whispered: "You can rest for a while, we will be there soon."

Matt struggled and said, "No, I can't rest. I'm afraid I'll never wake up again if I fall asleep. Man, if four million is not enough, just say so."

Frank waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it after we see Pete."

Matt wanted to say something else, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally sighed and said nothing.

The car almost returned to the rendezvous point, and George and the others came back earlier. When Rubber stopped, George and Peter had already stepped out from behind the car.

The car lights were very bright, and Peter covered his eyes with his hands. Frank said softly to the bright light: "Give Matt a hand."

The car stopped, Frank opened the door and got out of the car. Peter came forward and said excitedly: "How is it? You succeeded, right?"

Frank nodded. Peter was still about to speak, but he saw Gao Guang helping a man who looked like a bloody gourd out of the car.

Peter was stunned for a moment, and then when he saw who the man covered in blood was, his expression changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice: "Matt? Matt! You're not dead! That's great, I thought I would lose you forever... …”

Peter opened his arms and walked toward Matt, but Gao Guang stretched out his hand and said coldly: "Stop! No need to come over!"

The scene was a little solemn for a moment. Peter's open arms slowly lowered, and then he suddenly said to Frank: "All for you! All the money for you."

Being generous to others means there is no pressure. Pete is willing to give all of Matt's assets to Frank and the others, just so that he can survive.

Matt was trembling slightly, and he said sternly: "Pete! I took you in, I gave you this job, and I even saved your life!"

"Do not be silly!"

Peter shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then he said with great sadness and anger: "Do you think I am willing to do this? But I thought you were dead. You were captured by the Zeta Group, why are you not dead yet? If I knew I wouldn't stay until you were dead. Can you blame me? I didn't want to kill you, I just thought you were dead. But now, now that I have promised the conditions, I can't turn back. So what can I do?”

Gao Guang was a little stunned when he heard it, because he felt that there must be something wrong with Peter's words, but he didn't know how to refute it. Then, it seemed that Peter really made sense.

After finishing speaking, Peter looked at Frank and said, "Kill him and everything will be yours. He can't offer this condition no matter what."

Pete could be generous to others and give everything that Matt had to others, but Matt himself would not be able to offer this condition. Even if he offered this condition, others would not believe it.

Frank looked at Matt and pulled out his pistol. Matt said loudly: "I can give more. I will definitely get more than him by handling the property myself..."

Frank whispered: "Stop talking, it's pointless."

After finishing speaking, Frank raised his gun.

There was a gunshot, and a small hole opened in Pete's forehead. The expression on his face froze and he collapsed softly.

Matt was frightened by the gunshot, and then when he discovered that it was Pete who died instead of him, his face was full of shock at first, but it soon turned into extreme joy.

Gao Guang was not surprised at all by this result, because it was an inevitable consequence.

No matter how much money Pete could give, no matter how good the conditions Pete gave, no matter whether Matt lived or died, Pete had to die.

The grass has been cut without eradicating the roots, but spring breezes will spring up again. If Peter can drag the king's defense down this time, he will be able to drag them down again in the future. As a professional middleman, Peter broke the rules.

So the original plan was to kill Juan first, but killing Juan is not a necessary option. If there is no chance, forget it, but Peter must die. No matter what back-up he has, he must die, no matter how much money he can give. Gotta die.

As for saving the living Matt, this was purely an unexpected surprise. I originally wanted to get as much as I could from Pete after killing Juan, and I didn't expect him to slowly sell off his partners' assets. But now that Matt is alive, So wouldn't it be better to let Matt pay for it himself than to let Pete go through the motions?

Now that Juan is dead, Peter is also dead. Even if Peter really arranged some back-up, it is impossible for the Zeta Group to go to King's Defense for revenge. The drug trafficking group has no such leisure. It's just a boss who died, and some newcomers are anxious. As long as you are in a high position, making money is the most important thing. Who has time to avenge the former boss?

Frank put away his gun and said to Matt: "Why did I kill Pete because he broke the rules? Now how are you going to fulfill your promise?"

Matt hesitated and said: "I need time to sell off the property, four million. I need about a week. You can..."

Frank raised a hand, interrupted Matt's words, and said with a serious face: "I don't want four million, and I don't want you to sell your property. I only want your cash, one and a half million U.S. dollars. This price is not too much." Bar?"

Gao Guang was shocked because Frank only wanted 1.5 million US dollars, and the 4 million was proposed by Matt himself. He didn't know why Frank would take the initiative to lower the price.

Matt said in extreme shock: "One and a half million? Of course, but why?"

Frank whispered: "We are people who follow the rules. We will not force our customers to go bankrupt. It is better to make one more friend and maintain a good customer than to have one more enemy who is bankrupt. We will take advantage of the situation." Take the money and do what needs to be done, Matt, I don’t know what the relationship between you and Pete is, but I hope that you won’t drag your clients into trouble like him, when they are in danger.”

Matt said with excitement: "Of course not! Man, you can completely trust my professional ethics, then give me an account, and 1.5 million US dollars will arrive tonight. If you need my help to find someone to give it to you, Is the money laundered? You have opened a defense company, right? I also open a defense company. When we cooperate, I can transfer money to you from business to business. You choose how to collect the money. Man, I like your way of doing things!"

Frank thought for a moment and said, "You should go to the hospital, but I want to ask you a favor. Can you send us safely to the United States?"

"Yes! One hundred thousand dollars! You don't need a passport to ensure your safe crossing, but the equipment must be left here. Man, I gave you all the money. I really can't help you buy travel expenses. Otherwise, I will use this money I paid for you.”

If the equipment can be discarded, or temporarily left here in Tijuana, then Frank and the others will not have to spend money to get through. Even if they bring all the equipment, plus Arturo and his son, it will not cost more than 100,000 US dollars.

Obviously, Matt's transit channel is not as powerful as Frank's.

Frank didn't show any disappointment. He looked at his watch and said: "We'd better get through it on our own, George. Rubber, you two take Matt to the hospital. We'll meet up in San Diego. Matt, please give us the money as soon as possible." .”

After finishing speaking, Frank grabbed Matt's bloody hand, shook it symbolically, and said in a deep voice: "Happy cooperation."
