America: Starting with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 329 - 188 Escort Task

The next day.

Allen Zhang woke up feeling refreshed and clear-headed. He turned his head and found that Rena was already gone, along with the toolbox and the little toys—she probably had gotten up and gone downstairs to make breakfast.

He took out his phone and checked the daily intelligence report.

[Daily Intelligence: Last night at Sunkist Bar, a drunken Black man caused trouble, but your right-hand man Richie handled it alone, dragged him out and gave him a beating in the alley. The mention of your name scares the hell out of every Black person on the streets of Zone 5.]

Allen Zhang: ...

[Daily Intelligence: Last night at the highway ranch on Rocky Beach Road no. 426, there was a firearms deal and gunfire exchange. Left at the scene were $200,000 worth of military hardware and a damaged armored van, along with $20,000 in cash, and a collection of Chateau Lafite red wine from 1787 valued at $20,000, and twelve cows.]

[Details: The buyer of the firearms was a rancher from the Hagen family. The seller was Johnny’s team, unlicensed private arms dealers. They had a conflict over the price; the Hagen family tried to double-cross Johnny and swallow up the $200,000 worth of arms. Johnny retaliated by leading his men into the ranch at night. Both sides opened fire intensely; casualties were heavy. A total of 26 cows, 36 sheep, 57 ducks died, along with 18 people from both sides—annihilation ensued.]

Allen Zhang: ?

He suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed by the news. Animal killers, huh? So those twelve cows were the survivors?

What talent! They managed to wipe out both sides—truly a rare sight these days. There’s still such a fiery arms dealer (fool) around?

What deep grudge for thousands of dollars, to fight like that in the suburbs.

Alright then. Your legacy, my gain, no worries.

[Daily Intelligence: Opportunity Network has listed an arms transportation task from Firearms Fox PMC Security Company. They’re looking to transport two sets of sniper aiming systems, which include a Remington 700 sniper rifle, .308 caliber bullets, AWP and SVD sniper rifles, along with a set of confidential documents. The goods need to be transported to Palm Valley’s security branch, and the confidential documents to the insurance company’s manager, Harry. The reward for the arms transportation task is $15,000 US Dollars, and successful transportation of the encrypted documents will fetch an additional $30,000 US Dollars.]

[Details: This mission requires at least one bulletproof armed transport vehicle, two armed transport personnel, and strong firepower. The paper documents include three-star confidential photos whereby insurance manager Harry wants to eliminate his old love rival, who is also a competitor. He has obtained evidence of the rival’s infidelity to attack him unexpectedly, but there’s been a leak. There might be small random incidents happening during the mission.]

Allen Zhang fell into thought.

Long press to download, he glanced at the three-star confidential photos and couldn’t help but gasp. These people really know how to have fun!

So, a beer bottle can also be involved.

Surely this deserves more than three stars?

Even the General Sect Leader hasn’t done something like this.

Allen Zhang logged into the Opportunity Network using a mobile app, found this cost-effective task, and decided to book the transportation job.

Their Armed Nation had just started operations; they had no goods, no reputation, couldn’t land big contracts, nor could they afford professional PMC members for armed transports—everything had to be done by themselves. Better to rely on their own people.

In case something unexpected happens during the job, just like last time when it caused a fatality, they had to pay compensation and medical costs, funds are tight, they really can’t afford any mishaps.

The daily intelligence also suggested a bulletproof armed transport vehicle with two people should be sufficient for the task, indicating that even if something unexpected occurs, it won’t be like last time where thugs chased them with AKs from a pickup truck, at most it would be small-caliber firearms.

No worries, if any eyesore Biker Gang dares to intercept the cargo, the General Sect Leader will simply ram them with the bulletproof vehicle.

Crush them!

Done deal!

After all, it’s $45,000 USD in income. It could also make a name for themselves in the industry. Once they have a reputation, won’t they be able to land big contracts?

Step by step, bit by bit, no matter hard, as long as there’s determination.

Allen Zhang thought about it; now that the Humpback Whale has made a name in Little Rock, the tiny fame they managed to scrape together was a mix of good and bad; trying their luck to settle scores for someone else sounded somewhat unreliable—they might not see a single deal for days or weeks.

A case of open half a year, live off three years’ earnings.

The risks are definitely palpable.

Other employers, though having heard about Humpback Whale’s ventures in Little Rock, definitely don’t know the actual situation or how many fixed members Humpback Whale really has; whether there are actually twenty people.

Right now, they barely have Old Jack as a person, with the General Sect Leader being an external member.

That bonus should last Old Jack for a while, if any new tasks come in, they’ll see then.

[Daily Intelligence: On highway 163 in the suburbs, a victim was found naked and tied in the bushes at Rocky Beach. No rescue efforts are in place. Wealthy Jenny was pranked by friends, got drunk on the highway, took drugs and offended the Biker Gang while speeding, got robbed, his Porsche 911 and girlfriend were taken by the Biker Gang. Details: Help him retrieve the car and restore his honor. There’s a chance to receive a random luxury car stored in his private mansion as a thank you.]
