Two Realms: Don't call me evil!
Chapter 602 Squid
In a luxurious villa.
After leaving the Black Palace, Moi Mikel returned to the big house he bought and made a phone call.
drop!drop!drop!
The phone rang a few times before being connected. A magnetic voice came from the inside: "Mikel, you're calling so late at night. Is there something important?"
"Mr. Issachar, something very important did happen tonight, and it will surely be of interest to you."
Moi Mikel told the person on the other end of the phone what happened in the Black Palace tonight, which really aroused great interest.
"Oh, the US government is so indifferent. That's really disappointing. What are they afraid of? They don't have the demeanor of a blue star overlord at all."
The tone on the other end of the phone was a little sarcastic, and it was obvious that Kuromiya's decision was not to his liking.
Mikel shrugged and said, "The Jake Group is indeed not easy to mess with. It is reasonable for them to be cautious about matters like national war."
"No matter how cautious you are, you can't just ignore our lives."
The person on the phone became more and more dissatisfied. After complaining a few words, he hung up the phone in a hurry: "Mikel, thank you very much this time. Our Yutai Group will remember your kindness."
A few minutes after the call was hung up, Mikel's other phone vibrated with a text message, a notification of a deposit.
It was a bank card that he secretly held, and an astonishing amount of money was transferred into it, which made Mikel smile.
Meanwhile, in New York, Wall Street.
In a high-rise building, a man in his fifties wearing pajamas was holding a glass of red wine and standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He was looking at the busy traffic and neon street lights below, his face full of gloom.
In the past, he enjoyed standing here and admiring the scenery, which made him feel as if he had the entire city at his feet.
If any Wall Street elite appeared here, they would definitely recognize this man.
He is the representative figure of the Wall Street Squidward Group. He controls several financial companies and hedge funds. He is known as the stock god, financial tycoon, and hedge king. Butler Issachar, who is a powerful figure on Wall Street, has a personal net worth of hundreds of billions of US dollars.
The internal funds of several financial companies under his name amount to trillions of US dollars. It is no exaggeration to say that he can make Wall Street tremble with just a stomp of his feet.
At the same time, Butler Issachar is also the chairman of the United States and the Pacific Public Affairs Committee, a director of the United States Pacific Organization Affairs Conference, an honorary citizen of the Pacific, and other identities. The resources he controls are not limited to the financial field. He has a special organization and lobbying group, and actively participates in lobbying the United States to safeguard the interests of the Pacific.
As an important banner of the US Pacific forces, Butler Issachar is in a very bad mood right now, to the extreme.
Because before the emergence of biobatteries, Butler Issachar was an important shareholder of several old European and American automobile companies, and his financial company also invested heavily in many oil stocks and futures.
Because the Kingdom of Yutai has spies all over the Middle East and has a certain degree of intelligence on oil, coupled with his influence in the Kingdom of Yutai and the United States, he can often obtain a lot of important information, and can manipulate those leeks to make huge profits.
However, the Jeko Group did not play by the rules and actually developed a biological battery, which caused the U.S. stock market to circuit breaker three times in one day.
The oil stocks and futures that his financial company held heavily in plummeted and collapsed. Although he used his influence to block the news and hedge operations, the time was too short and he did not have time to sell all the stocks, so the losses were still very heavy.
Not to mention the old European and American automobile companies that he invested in, their market value plummeted, and the value of his shares also shrunk severely, resulting in huge losses in investment.
It can be said that due to the emergence of biobatteries, his wealth has shrunk by at least more than half.
"Jeko Group, you are asking for trouble"
Issachar drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, his eyes full of indifference.
If it was just a reduction in wealth, he would accept it. After all, his wealth was there, and no matter how much he lost, he was still a wealthy man. But what he could not tolerate was that the Jeko Group targeted oil.
Issachar is a true patriot of the United States. His feelings for the United States are much deeper than those for the United States. He has always advocated safeguarding the rights and interests of the United States and Pacific expansionism.
The reason why the United States is now in the Middle East is that it receives strong support from the United States because of its oil interests.
Once the value of oil drops, the importance of the country of Tai will also decline severely.
By then, even if the influence of the United States within the United States becomes stronger, the United States may not be as diligent as it is today in providing arms and various support to the United States.
Without the support of the United States, it is very likely that the Middle Eastern countries will gang up on the United States, and the United States will not be able to guarantee that it will be able to withstand the consequences.
The squid people have been wandering for 2000 years, leading a displaced life and experiencing many massacres and lootings.
It was not easy in the last century that they regained their homeland with the support of the United States and established their own country, the Kingdom of Taiwan. This is also the pride of most Taiwanese people.
Even those powerful Americans who are already in high positions in the United States, although living in a foreign country, still support the existence of America in their hearts because that is their root.
Many Yutai people are afraid that once the Yutai Kingdom is destroyed, they will lose their roots again and become a wandering nation.
If any country is dissatisfied and tries to exclude and suppress them, or even raises the butcher knife, they, who have huge wealth, will become money bags under the butcher knife of others.
For example, Issachar is a staunch supporter of the Kingdom of Yutai and he cannot bear to see Yutai being bullied.
"Someone is coming."
Lighting a cigar, Issachar called over his trusted secretary.
"Contact the Squid Kingdom and gather our Squid Organization members to suppress the Jeko Group. They have been too arrogant recently."
"Boss, it's about the JECO Group!"
The secretary looked a little strange, as he was aware of the vicious reputation of the Jake Group.
Issachar was silent for a moment, but still said firmly: "It is the Jeko Group, but don't start from the Yutai country. Talk to the people in Yutai's circle and find a white glove. I remember that the South Korean Lee family has a lot of our shares. Let them take action and get us out."
After all, Issachar was still a little scared, so he decided to find an agent to vent his anger for him, and at the same time set an example and encourage other Squid people.
He will first test the reaction of the Jake Group. If the reaction is not significant, he will actively call on the Asian elites around the world to suppress the Jake Group.
The Asians are not only powerful in the United States, they also have extremely strong influence in many other countries. If they unite, they can make many countries tremble.
The secretary breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and quickly left to make arrangements.
Issachar puffed out a cigarette, looked out the window at the bright lights and feasting, and said lightly: "Jeko Group, the rules of this world are not something that can be easily broken by anyone."
"The birth of biological batteries, the United States' three major aircraft carrier battle groups left the port and deployed towards the Southeast Asian waters, targeting the Jeko Group. "
"President Jasmine is actively traveling to EU countries for high-level meetings. Currently, the military forces of 12 countries have made it clear that they want to participate in the joint maritime military exercise held by the United States, which will be held near the Southeast Asian waters."
"He is anxious. The hegemony of the petrodollar is shaking. The United States is willing to put pressure on the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation. Will the confrontation between the two major military groups become the fuse of a world war?"
Gwangju, South Korea, is the fifth largest city in South Korea with a population of approximately 1.5 million.
At this time, in a warehouse in the suburbs of Gwangju, Jin Changming crossed his legs and flipped through the newspaper in his hand. He pushed his companion beside him and said, "Mouse, take a look at these news reports. Do you think there will be a fight this time?"
The man called Mouse was a pointed-faced, monkey-like man with dreadlocks and tattoos on his neck and arms. He didn't look like a good guy.
Of course, Jin Changming himself was not much better. He wore a loose shirt with the buttons open, his hair was combed back, his left hand was a big flower arm, he wore a big gold chain, and had a cigarette in his mouth. It was almost as if I was a bad guy written on his face.
There were more than a dozen people near the warehouse, all dressed similarly, with either tattoos or permed hair.
They belong to the Ronan faction, a dynamic social group in Gwangju, commonly known as the gang. It is one of the largest local gangs in Gwangju, with more than 500 members.
Mouse glanced at the newspaper and said impatiently: "Whether they fight or not is none of my business. When did you become so fond of watching the news and talking about military and politics? What's wrong? Are you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination?" "Come on, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm worried that if the JEC Group goes to war with the United States, our supply of goods will be cut off. How can we enjoy such a comfortable life then?"
Jin Changming cursed with a smile and pointed at the goods in the warehouse.
There are many boxes piled up inside, filled with bottles of Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid, Tianyuan Myopia Pills, Tianyuan Whitening Liquid, Tianyuan Slimming Pills and other products. These are the treasure chests of their Ronan faction.
In the past, the main business scope of the Ronan faction was loan sharking, debt collection, opening casinos, bars and nightclubs.
But after they came into contact with the smuggling channels from the Jeko Group, they found that the profits were so huge that their previous illegal businesses were far inferior.
Because South Korea is the younger brother of the United States, it also enforces an embargo on the Jeko Group, taking Tianyuan Whitening Liquid as an example.
They purchase goods from the Jeko Group. The most basic Ningzhi Tianyuan whitening liquid is priced at 2999 per bottle, but once it is shipped across the ocean to South Korea, the price immediately soars to US$5000, and it is in short supply.
South Korean women are particularly fond of beauty, and the plastic surgery industry is ranked first in the world. With the magical product of Tianyuan Whitening Liquid that can purify appearance, South Korean women are crazy about it. The government does not allow its sale, which gives private gangs the opportunity to make a fortune through smuggling.
As the biggest gang in Gwangju, Ronan and his men would not miss such a lucrative job. So they naturally started the smuggling business of the JECCO Group in Gwangju and cracked down on other competitors. They were equivalent to the exclusive agents of the JECCO Group in Gwangju, South Korea, and made a lot of money.
For example, Jin Changming used to earn only two to three million won a month, but now he is responsible for smuggling products of the JEC Group and his monthly income can reach tens of millions won.
"Just study the affairs of state on your own. I will wait for the day when you become the commander-in-chief."
The mouse said unhappily, turning over and continuing to doze off.
"You have no ambition. We in the underworld also have to think about improving ourselves. Forget it. There's no point in arguing with a jerk like you. It's your fault that you only graduated from elementary school."
Jin Changming raised his middle finger and said proudly that he was a high school dropout, which was already a highly educated person in the Ronan faction full of talented people.
As he spoke, Jin Changming pulled up his pants and walked out, looking for a place to relieve himself.
prick!
Suddenly, just as Jin Changming was releasing water, a loud braking sound was heard outside the suburban warehouse.
More than a dozen cars stopped outside the warehouse, and then a group of ferocious-looking men dressed in various clothes and holding steel pipes and axes rushed out.
"You guys, do you know that this is our Ronan faction's territory? Ahhhh!"
The member of the Ronan faction who was guarding the door was knocked down by a steel pipe before he could finish his words. His opponent had no intention of fighting and just started hitting anyone he saw without saying a word.
"Shit, damn it! Go get your weapons and inform the boss that someone is coming to our warehouse to cause trouble."
The scene suddenly became chaotic, with screams of pain as bones were broken by steel pipes.
This gang of unknown origins had a large number of members, several times the number of the Ronan faction members guarding the warehouse. They quickly knocked down the Ronan faction members, and those who tried to escape were also blocked, caught and kicked.
Jin Changming was so frightened that he shivered and wet his pants, but he didn't care about that at all. He hid in the bushes and peeked out secretly.
He saw his good friend Mouse lying on the ground with a bloody head, screaming like a pig being slaughtered, and his right arm dangling unnaturally, obviously broken.
"Where did you come from, you bastard? How dare you mess with our Ronan faction? You are dead."
Jin Changming cursed wildly in his heart. Their Ronan faction was the largest gang in Gwangju and had always been used to smooth sailing. But today they were actually overthrown by other gangs. Jin Changming was so angry.
However, just as Jin Changming was cursing, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Normally, when they go on a spree like this, they will keep the loot for themselves.
However, after entering the warehouse, those foreign gangsters not only did not move away the expensive smuggled goods of the JECCO Group, but instead poured gasoline on the warehouse, set it on fire, and destroyed all the boxes of expensive goods.
Woohoo! Woohoo!
At this time, the police sirens sounded at the scene. Jin Changming was wondering why the police came so quickly this time. He saw those foreign gangsters getting into the van one by one, almost one after another. As soon as they left, the police arrived at the scene to clean up the mess.
Jin Changming also saw an acquaintance, the chief of the Gwangju Police Station was also there. This guy was a big shot and he was often seen on TV. He didn't expect him to appear here. Logically speaking, someone of his level would not pay attention to this kind of gang fight.
Jin Changming didn't dare to think about it too much. He retreated stealthily and quickly escaped from here before the police found him. Then he called his boss, but found that the call was not connected.
Fortunately, Jin Changming knew the location of the boss. After spending more than half an hour, he arrived near the boss's residence, only to find that the police had set up a cordon here and many spectators gathered nearby to watch the fun.
Forensic doctors in white coats came in and out, carrying out stretchers covered with white cloth.
Jin Changming felt more and more uneasy because he saw a pair of shoes exposed on one of the stretchers and recognized that they were the pair of leather shoes that the eldest brother loved to wear when he was alive.
"Boss, who on earth is so cruel and wants to kill everyone?"
The situation was obvious. The eldest brother's family was also assassinated and died.
Jin Changming was terrified. Although the Ronan faction founded by his boss was not open to the public, it still had a place in Gwangju. But today he was murdered and his faction was also overthrown.
Jin Changming became increasingly uneasy. He turned on his cell phone to check the local news.
As expected, he saw that all the territories of the Ronan faction in Gwangju had been in trouble, with nightclubs and casinos being closed down and news reports of injuries in many places.
The news also said that local police eradicated a large gang that had been wreaking havoc in Gwangju for years and arrested hundreds of its members.
What made him even more terrified was that he saw a wanted bounty warrant for himself on the news.
In an instant, Jin Changming's hands and feet became cold.
"No, that's totally wrong! What on earth is going on?"
Jin Changming, who had just dropped out of high school, was so confused that his brain was about to explode. He couldn't figure out the key to the problem. The only thing he knew was that the enemy of the Ronan faction who was attacked this time might be more powerful than he had imagined.
"No, I have to leave here and I must not be caught by them."
Jin Changming was very scared, but he didn't know where was the safest place. Suddenly, he thought of a place.
"That place must be safe. They are the boss's partners. I'm going to go there to hide from the limelight first."
Jin Changming thought of a place he had accompanied the boss to before, which was a smuggling den of the Jeko Group. He also knew people from the Jeko Group because a brother of his who had grown up with him was a peripheral member there, running errands and doing odd jobs for the Jeko Group.
"Yes, let's go there."
Jin Changming did not dare to delay. After finding a way out, he started to run away again.
What Jin Changming didn't know was that similar things were not only happening in Gwangju.
Just today, conflicts broke out in many places in South Korea. Many gangs responsible for smuggling and selling stolen Tianyuan series products were either destroyed or fell into the hands of the police.
For a while, the whole of South Korea was in a state of panic. Various underworld and criminal forces began to restrain themselves, and even ordinary people were deeply affected.
Due to the severe shortage of Tianyuan products, prices have skyrocketed, causing many South Koreans to complain online about the government's incompetence and why it has nothing to do but crack down on the Tianyuan series of products.
Yes, in the eyes of many South Koreans, their government is so useless.
The import of goods from the Jeko Group was restricted but could not be completely blocked, leading to rampant smuggling and soaring prices. In the end, the only ones who suffered were the consumers who paid the bills and had to pay a higher price to purchase the goods.
After all, the products of the JEC Group have become indispensable necessities for many people in South Korea.
But these have nothing to do with Jin Changming. Now he just wants to escape and ensure his own safety. (End of this chapter)
