Li Chengji hit a wall with the Sinaloa Group…

As the CEO of a human resources platform, she lacked the deterrent power to intimidate a major client like Sinaloa.

She walked through the crowd with a smile and stood in front of Mountain Eagle, saying with an unyielding expression, "I've talked to them. The Sinaloa people also don't want a war, but they want you to apologize to Vincent."

Lowering her volume, Li Chengji continued, "The Sinaloa Group's recent cooperation with Vincent has been strained, with Americans intervening in their arms deals.

Meanwhile, the Glory Society in Europe has started importing drugs from Spain due to channel issues, causing Vincent to incur losses in the Spanish drug market.

The Sinaloa Group has breached their contract, and Vincent is putting pressure on them…"

Mountain Eagle, curious, asked, "What exactly is going on?

What's the deal with the Sinaloa Group's breach?"

Li Chengji thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know the Glory Society?"

Mountain Eagle exchanged glances with Silver Fox and Galahad, then nodded and said, "I've heard of it. It's like a European mafia consortium based mainly in Italy…"

Li Chengji nodded then shook her head and said, "Do you know where the world's largest drug consumption market is?"

Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "Where else could it be? The United States!"

Li Chengji nodded and said, "The world's largest drug consumption market is the United States, but the most profitable market is actually Europe because the anti-drug laws there are more stringent.

The Glory Society is the largest drug supplier in Europe, with their drugs sourced from Afghanistan.

In the past, their drugs from Afghanistan entered Eastern Europe by crossing the Caspian Sea through Iran or Turkmenistan and then permeated into Europe.

But this route goes through too many countries, making the transportation cost very high.

The Glory Society opened up a new drug route from Afeika.

The drugs enter from Kenya, sell a portion locally, and then are escorted by jungle warlords and drug traffickers into the Congo, further northward through Central Africa, Chad, Libya, and finally across the Mediterranean into Italy.

Now a guy named Hyena has appeared in Central Africa, cutting off the Glory Society's drug route and killing a bunch of jungle guerrillas involved in drug trafficking.

The Glory Society's lowest-cost and highest-volume route has been cut off, now forcing their drugs to detour around Afeika, landing and transiting from Senegal in West Africa, then entering Spain to the north.

Spain has traditionally been the turf of Colombian drug traffickers with whom Vincent has deep cooperation, leading to conflicts between the two."

Mountain Eagle frowned, processing Li Chengji's words, then asked perplexedly, "What does the situation in Spain have to do with the Sinaloa Group?"

Li Chengji took a sip of champagne and said, "The two most widely used natural drugs in the world are Heroin and Cocaine…

Currently, the largest source of Heroin is in Afghanistan, which is where the Glory Society's drugs come from.

The Colombian drug traffickers sell mostly cocaine produced in South America.

Even the Mexican cartels now, their source of cocaine is also South America.

After the direct maritime drug line from Colombia to Florida was destroyed, Mexican cartels made their first fortune by helping Colombian traffickers transport cocaine overland into the United States…"

Mountain Eagle suddenly realized something and furrowed his brow, saying, "The Heroin and Cocaine traffickers are clashing in Spain, competing for market share.

This Vincent is not only dealing in arms but is also using his transportation lines to help Colombian traffickers send Cocaine to Spain, reaping huge profits.

Now this product clash has extended to Mexico, affecting not only Vincent's arms trade but possibly his drug trade as well, right?"

Li Chengji slightly nodded and said, "The development of marijuana and chemical drugs has allowed Mexican traffickers to gradually establish their own product lines, but natural drugs still have a large market.

Now, there's an American getting involved in Vincent's arms deals with the Sinaloa Group and has even introduced the Glory Society to the Mexicans.

If Sinaloa, Glory Society, and the Americans form a partnership, Vincent and his Colombian allies will suffer huge losses.

The key isn't whether Sinaloa collaborates with him, but rather that they've introduced such a behemoth competitor as the Glory Society.

The Glory Society is based in Europe, and Vincent is in conflict with them.

You should understand that these underworld conflicts operate on a zero-sum basis, so Vincent is extremely angry…"

With that explanation, Mountain Eagle understood…

From a trade perspective, this is a competition between two natural drug routes and markets.

The Glory Society sources from Afghanistan, which is significantly cheaper than the Colombians.

The Colombians aren't as dominant as they used to be; their largest shipments must go overland, where powerful Mexican drug lords would cut into the profits.

From a Mexican perspective, they aren't direct competitors with Colombians or the Glory Society because they don't produce natural drugs other than marijuana, but rake in money by controlling the channels to the world's largest drug consumption market.

If they can introduce competition, they can force both sides to relinquish interests voluntarily.

Vincent is now siding with the Colombians, expressing great dissatisfaction with the Sinaloa Group's approach, and Mountain Eagle has become the leverage for this guy to pressure the Sinaloa Group.

It means that I've made enemies, and my foes are right there. You help me deal with them, and we remain good friends.

If you don't, then you're not a good friend, and I'll cut off all arms trade with you, instead backing others, while joining forces with the Colombians and Glory Society to wage war, leaving you no time to collaborate.

That's how it is in the underworld; they can't tolerate collaborators being double-minded, even giants like the Sinaloa.

If the Glory Society hadn't intervened in the past, the Sinaloa Group, to maintain its vital ally, should have already sent their assassins down to Beverly Hills by now.

Of course, without the Glory Society's intervention, Vincent wouldn't be clinging to Mountain Eagle like a mad dog.

This guy consciously chose Mountain Eagle to pose problems for the Sinaloa Group.

It's estimated that if the Sinaloa Group can't give him a satisfactory answer, he'll immediately shift the focus of his business.

Understanding everything, Mountain Eagle was quite irritated...

He could even accept being underestimated, thus facing a foolish provocation, but couldn't accept becoming an insignificant piece, being passively pushed into an awkward situation.

The Sinaloa Group doesn't want to start a war, but wants him to apologize...

It sounds quite gracious, but what the hell kind of reasoning is that?

Silver Fox sensed Mountain Eagle's anger, laughed, shook his head, and said, "You're good at everything, but sometimes you think too much!

Whether you admit it or not, in others' eyes, we're all mercenaries!

Mercenaries, when facing threats, only choose the way they're best skilled at..."

Beside him, Galahad laughed and said, "Silver Fox is right. Although we aren't a gang, we equally don't have the right to be weak.

If we bow down now, future tasks will be priced lower because employers will look down on us."

Li Chengji looked at Mountain Eagle, whose eyes were blazing, nodded slightly, and said, "At the party, don't cause trouble recklessly, but once we're outside, it's no matter.

But I must remind you, the Sinaloa Group won't start a war over Vincent's unreasonable demand, but until the Glory Society fully prove themselves, they'll protect Vincent at all costs.

I don't think the Glory Society has much hope...

Because they just suffered a major loss in New York, where a madman called Hyena went on a killing spree, causing the Glory Society to lose drugs worth several million US dollars and newly established channels, severing their grasp into the United States."

Saying this, Li Chengji glanced around and quietly said to Mountain Eagle, "The shorter one is Juan; people outside call him 'Eye Demon' because when he was young, he liked collecting the eyes of his enemies as trophies.

This guy is a core member of the Sinaloa Group and also a trusted subordinate of Shorty Guzman.

The guy beside him is Miluo; he's responsible for cash transportation within the United States. People on this line call him 'Bone Breaker,' because he crushes the bones of those who steal money."

Mountain Eagle listened, nodded slightly, exchanged a glance with Silver Fox beside him, then strode boldly towards Vincent...

The chubby Vincent was surrounded by a group, and facing the approaching Mountain Eagle, he displayed great disdain...

Watching Mountain Eagle and Silver Fox come before him, the chubby Vincent waved his hand as if swatting flies and said, "I don't want to hear your apology; people must face the consequences when they do wrong..."

Upon Vincent's words, those around exchanged glances briefly, then quickly found their stance...

Some took a few steps back, while others directly stood behind Vincent.

Facing Vincent's deliberately idiotic posture, Mountain Eagle shook his head, said in a deep voice, "I'm not here to apologize; I'm here to notify you...

You want a war, then I'll give you a war!"

Speaking, Mountain Eagle's gaze maliciously scanned those standing by Vincent, bared his white teeth, and said with a smile, "You should know about my bet with the Bright Ladder...

In our line of work, nobody fears any form of challenge.

You want me dead, no problem, as long as you can make it happen...

I'm just here to notify you: I've set my sights on you!

Unless you stay here forever and never leave, once you step out the door, you'd better watch your neck."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at the furious Vincent, took a step closer, leaned forward to look at this seemingly pig-headed yet cunningly sly fat man, and grinned, "You're a big deal, so you don't get Joseph Ravensworth's 5 minutes of grace.

You'd better clasp your hands and pray your people are strong enough, or you'll never make it out of Beverly Hills..."

Silver Fox, as Vincent furiously yelled, turned and blocked the path of two Mexican big shots approaching Mountain Eagle...

With silver hair, Silver Fox sternly faced the two Mexican big shots...

"I'm Silver Fox, Arctic Fox's Silver Fox. No matter what you want to do, we Arctic Fox stand behind Mountain Eagle...

You want war, then we go to war!"
