The male supporting character was actually myself.

Anderson sat at his desk, with only a small lamp lit.

A beautifully crafted map lay before him, his chubby finger positioned precisely at the mouth of the Finnan port area.

"Assuming the information she received is true."

Eric's ship of munitions was quietly robbed and never seen again, because former Inspector General Oliver had been secretly comparing the models of the guns and ammunition, and had not found any trace of it to this day.

In other words, the people who stole the weapons hid them.

Anderson muttered to himself, his left hand sweeping the magnifying glass across the map.

Oliver concluded that the Irving family and other small gangs were responsible for the arms robbery primarily because of the route Eric's shipment took.

The Sentis River is separated upstream by a long, narrow, deserted island.

Traveling along the inland waterways will take you through the entire Sentis region, with the first area you'll enter being the Rirkas district, which is occupied by Dom; then you'll enter your own territory, and finally exit the river at the port of Finnan and sail to the sea.

However, traveling along the outer waterways requires advanced, large ships due to the rapid currents.

This road is located on the other side of the deserted island and leads directly to the river mouth of the Finnan port area.

Eric's smuggling boats chose the outer waterway, which bypassed Dom and his own territory, no wonder Oliver would target those guys.

But Anderson's gaze remained fixed on the deserted island.

Oliver's reasoning has flaws!

This deserted island is full of layers of steep rocks and crooked wild trees. There is no fresh water or flat land, making it uninhabitable.

Moreover, its geographical location also puts it at risk of being besieged.

Therefore, the government's idea of ​​turning it into a resort park a few years ago was abandoned as soon as it was put into practice.

And the person who undertook this project at that time was Dom!

At that time, he was just a small force, but he had some connections in the capital, so he got projects and wanted to make some money.

That's right, Dom has a lot of connections in the capital.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to gain the upper hand during the internal strife, even before he knew the specifics, and seize the opportunity to take a big slice of the pie, which allowed him to develop to his current scale.

Smuggling weapons meant for the battlefield is very difficult to do in the capital without connections and influence.

Eric clearly does;

Dom happened to have it too, coupled with his experience and familiarity with that deserted island.

A bold idea gradually emerged in Anderson's mind.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Gradual Transformation

Eric somehow managed to steal the weapons destined for the battlefield, and now he's found a buyer to resell them.

What if Dom finds out about this?

Knowing full well that a smuggling ship laden with arms was about to pass right under his nose, would he really be willing to give up such a lucrative opportunity?

The smuggling boats traveled along the outer waterways, which would clear him of suspicion.

If Dom arranges for people to be placed on the deserted island in advance, everything will fall into place!

If the assumption is correct, his plan was clearly very successful.

Dom secretly acquired a new batch of weapons, which is why he has recently dared to frequently challenge and act aggressively.

Oliver, however, was blinded by his petty tricks and continued to cause trouble for the Irving family and other small gangs.

Is it possible that the Irving family will obtain this batch of weapons?

Anderson analyzed it carefully and confirmed that it was true!

But that requires exceptional opportunity and good luck; the right timing, location, and people are all indispensable.

Keep in mind that Daniel was still on the battlefield when the weapons were stolen.

With Ed, Joyce, and some helpers, could they wipe out all the skilled munitions transporters?

Most importantly, after succeeding, they were able to hide it so quietly that even the chief inspector Oliver was completely clueless. He sent Bella to use her beauty to try and find a single clue.

Those Owen family members are all fucking amazing!

The brothers can keep their mouths shut, but what about their henchmen?

Anderson didn't believe there were such assassins; even when drunk and looking for women, he never boasted or let slip anything.

It's possible, but the chances are so low as to be negligible.

not to mention……

His eyes fell on the map and he couldn't help but laugh. The Owen family had only swallowed up some small gangs and their territory was still tiny. Where could they hide their weapons so well that they hadn't given themselves away for so long?

The prime suspect is Dom.

He has the ability, the opportunity, and the convenient means to hide!

"This is really tricky." Anderson put down the magnifying glass and pinched his brow with his round fingers.

He is all too aware of the current situation.

Dom preemptively gathered a group of soldiers who had retired from the battlefield, and using their so-called camaraderie from their past service, developed a formidable armed force.

Most of his subordinates are scoundrels.

On the surface, they seem to have a lot of power, but in a real fight, destroying Dom would definitely result in serious damage and a significant loss of strength.

Moreover, the other side has most likely received a large amount of additional military support!

Fifty machine guns;

20,000 boxes of ammunition;

One hundred semi-automatic pistols;

Two hundred pistols already loaded with bullets.

That's enough to arm an army!

Anderson grew increasingly frightened as he thought about it. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and tapped the table, pondering the matter carefully.

Dom's strength has greatly increased, and the reason he didn't attack him immediately must be because he knew that Oliver and the others were still investigating.

Eric wasn't just an empty shell; he actually owned an army and an arms factory!

Once a large-scale battle breaks out in Sentis, and the type of firearms and ammunition is discovered to be the same batch that he lost, it's easy to imagine what will happen—Eric's iron cavalry will raze Sentis to the ground!

At that time, Mr. Jones and Privé will all turn to ashes.

That was the price for provoking Eric, his usual tactic for maintaining his authority.

"Action! Anderson, you've gained the upper hand, you must act now!" His voice became resolute as he muttered to himself.

Dom didn't receive the news until early the next morning.

"Our mole has been taken out?" He paused slightly as he dressed, then sighed and said, "It will come eventually."

I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Why did that fat pig suddenly start purging the people around him?

Is there any other news from outside the area?

The subordinate, holding up his uniform hat, replied: "According to the feedback we received, Joyce Owen was ambushed on his way out of Anderson's place yesterday after having dinner."

Anderson searched the neighborhood for a long time.

They are probably worried that they might also be attacked by unidentified people, so they are conducting a thorough investigation of their own personnel.

Our hidden agents were too careless.

They probably want to get a reward, so they're trying to pass on even the smallest bit of information.

For a piece of worthless intelligence, he gave himself away and ended up getting his whole family arrested.

Dom carefully combed his neat, shiny black mustache with a small brush. "There's nothing we can do. We just can't find any smart people to put next to Anderson."

That fat pig is quite capable.

The guard was bribed with money and promised a large sum of money. He was so greedy that he died on his way to get rich. He was just too stupid.

We are currently lacking in firearms and ammunition.

Sentis has no military factories and has to buy everything.

I don't have Anderson's mountains of gold and jewels!

"Notify our undercover agents to be extra careful lately and not to let their guard down. If that fat pig gets any leverage over us, he'll have a reason to start a war."

The subordinates accepted the order and went to carry it out.

Dom picked up today's newspaper and looked at it intently, his gaze then settling on a short report—the Irving family's purge of infighting gangs was welcomed by local residents.

"Snapped!"

The newspaper was slammed onto the desk, and Ed grumbled angrily, "Who did this?"

Who gave them permission to report like this!

Look what they've done to me!

"I'm the head of the Irving family, why aren't any reporters interviewing me?"

April rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Please, don't be so childish! Even if the Owen family really wants to be interviewed, we should send Joyce or Daniel!"

At least neither of them will spout nonsense and make enemies everywhere.

"How could you say that against your conscience? Would I really talk nonsense and bring disaster upon the Owen family?" Ed retorted, his bloodshot eyes wide, his mustache trembling with anger.

Benson shrugged and said lightly, "Don't you remember? I still remember five years ago..."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore!" Ed waved his hand awkwardly to stop them. "I lost, okay? It was just drunken bragging, and you guys have been talking about it for years!"

Joyce tapped the table and said, "Tonight is our first collaboration with Anderson. We'll provide two small boats to protect his smuggling ships as they pass through the Sentis River. Once they're out of the river mouth, everything will be fine."

Daniel and I personally led the team.

Ed, you guard the Blue Shell Bar, everyone else stay alert and on standby.
