Standalone Tokyo

Chapter 212: An Old Rabbit with a Heart and a Beehive

After more than half an hour of verbal sparring in the cafe, Baker and Joe Shul finally agreed on the introduction fee, although the latter made a fortune.

However, when he thought about the fact that he had lost nearly 20 points in commission, Qiao Xuer left the cafe angrily, leaving Baker there.

Watching Joe Xuel's disappearing back, Baker let out a long sigh. Very good, the first step of the undercover mission went smoothly. As a retired former CIA ace agent, Joe Xuel was still willing to give him face.

As for the poker organization, the CIA has currently included it in the watch list and has also formed a special investigation team to conduct a thorough investigation of the organization.

The CIA director above Baker believed that there was a big problem with this playing card. It was most likely the product of a joint effort of certain officers in the US military, or it was someone sent by Russia.

The first guess came about because the style of the poker cards is too much like that of the American sky soldiers in the Middle East. Wherever they go, they burn, kill, loot, and leave no grass unchecked, acting with impunity.

And the second guess... Russia has been a bit poor recently, so it's not surprising that the poor Russian intelligence agencies are doing some money-making side jobs.

The first one is the most likely, the second one is less likely.

Baker's mission is to find out the secrets of the poker organization and determine who is their mastermind behind the scenes... As for the source of the poker weapons, don't check it.

This thing has become a taboo in the United States. Whoever touches it will die, and the same goes for the CIA. No matter how arrogant the CIA agents are outside the United States, their headquarters is still in the United States after all. It's okay to investigate small matters, but big things like arms really can't be touched.

Killing the whole family is not something to be joked about.

After receiving the order, Baker began to work. However, as soon as things started, he found that he had almost nowhere to start.

There are members of a poker organization active in New York, but they can never be found. Intelligence dealers don't know where they are or what they are doing, let alone joining them.

Tokyo, Japan is the place where the poker organization first appeared. Baker didn't want to go there because before him, several teams of CIA agents investigating the poker organization had been killed there, and most of them disappeared without a trace.

This is very strange. Obviously, the CIA has many agents and informants in Tokyo, but only the personnel who were assigned to investigate the poker organization disappeared, while the other agents who had other work were safe and sound.

One of the most terrifying cases was that an agent responsible for investigating a poker organization and another agent who had other things to do stayed in the same hotel, and their rooms were next to each other.

The distance is so close, separated by just a wall. Logically speaking, the fellow agents on the other side would be aware of what happens next door.

As a result, the former disappeared the next day. The latter found something wrong when he got up and knocked on the door to call his companions to have breakfast.

Baker didn't dare to think deeply about what this meant. Whether it was that the intelligence capabilities of this poker card were powerful or that there was something wrong with the CIA Tokyo branch, he really didn't want to go to Tokyo with the death mark on his back.

Fujiwara no Masato is the main culprit for such things. He has a mentality that "there are always villains who want to harm me". Whenever he has time, he will open the small map to look at Tokyo. When any hostile villain appears, he will mobilize people to do the work immediately.

For this purpose, Fujiwara Masato specially spent a lot of money to form a cleaning team composed of senior soldiers, specifically for this kind of dirty work, which inadvertently scared Baker. The situation in Manila was similar. Baker also knew that the poker organization had recently caused a big fuss there, dispatching several teams that looked like Rangers and Navy SEALs, killing people everywhere, so impressive that it forced the Philippine government to bow its head.

Baker didn't want to go. Even though theoretically the CIA's power could be maximized in the chaotic Philippines, and with Baker's authority, he could even mobilize a Philippine army to serve him, he was unwilling to go to that damn place.

The more chaotic the place is, the more at a loss an intelligence agency like the CIA will have to work hard. Only an environment with a little order in the chaos can make them feel like fish in water. In a place where everything is decided by force, they are really like "a scholar meeting a soldier, unable to explain themselves clearly."

After much thought and searching, Baker suddenly realized that there seemed to be areas in Korea where he could intervene.

The Oshima Group in Tokyo, Japan is an extra-staff thug of the Poker Organization. This is clearly written in the CIA intelligence database. Now that Oshima Hiroshi and his men have appeared in Seoul, South Korea, it is obvious that they have received orders and support from the Poker Organization.

What is more crucial is Joe Xuel, this old rabbit who was still restless after retirement and went to hang out with the dark web group, and finally left for unknown reasons. He sold a piece of intelligence to the CIA headquarters through the intelligence channel of the CIA's Korean branch and made a small fortune.

An intelligence report about a poker organization.

In this document, the content that Joe Xuer became the head of Korean poker cards was clearly shown on the first page, which made it impossible to ignore it.

Ah, this greedy old rabbit is so greedy that on the one hand he enjoys the treatment of a poker cadre and the dividends from the generic drug business, on the other hand he colludes with the CIA and takes intelligence fees from this agency.

It can be said that this bastard had already reserved the title of multi-millionaire the moment he set foot in Seoul.

Buckle was jealous of his companion's fortune. Why was he going bankrupt because of the tuition fees of the two bastards, while the latter could become a multi-millionaire after retirement?

This is not fair.

So, Baker ran over to find Joxu. He was sure that his former colleague knew that he would be visited by the CIA, but the latter never guessed that it was him who would be the one looking for him, so Joxu was real in his unhappiness.

He knew his companion's thoughts too well. Besides, when he was still working for the CIA, Baker and Joshua were good friends. They helped each other no less than ten times. Joshua would not deliberately harm Baker because of money.

If any other CIA agent came to this old rabbit, he would definitely squeeze the last bit of value out of these unfortunate guys and then pretend to sell them off casually.

Having managed to get a small comeback, Baker was somewhat happy and drank the last of his coffee. Even though this old rabbit deliberately did not pay the bill before leaving and was called back by the waiter to pay the bill just after he walked out of the cafe, he did not feel embarrassed.

However, this good mood only lasted until Baker walked out of the cafe and saw Joe Xuer walking across the street. When the latter saw him, he waved and called him over.

"Hey man, if you want to join us, I have a job that's perfect for you. Once you're done, I can bring you in...

Smile a little, bro, it's nothing serious, just a Korean pharmaceutical company giving me trouble..."
