Chapter 515 - COOPERATION CONFIRMED

Tristan told them everything about the Dragon Gang that owns a large market in the business world. They had shares in several hotels and restaurants, in entertainment industry, in supermarkets, in clothing lines and other types of business. And most of all, they were trading illegal firearms.

"How did you make connections with those scums?" Valkyrie asked him since Tristan looked decent and wasn't someone who would do something unscrupulous.

"I was overseas when I met one of their underlings who thought that I would be useful. He offered me a job and I accepted it since I had nothing back then. At first, they only asked me to improve their security network and create strong firewalls. They paid me a huge sum of money for that. I sent everything to my parents since they would need it more than me. My father built a small toy factory and started selling toys. I didn't even know that it was rapidly growing in the span of two years. I told my parents not to sell any shares to the Dragon Gang and I even sent them a list of names that they needed to avoid. As the years passed by, they were asking me to dig this and that. I didn't know what they were using that information for. Until I saw the news about those people I checked. Some of them died, some were sent to prison and some left the city. And the Dragon Gang took over the business and made it grow like they didn't have anything to do with it. When I wanted to leave, they took my sister and kept her. My parents and I were afraid to let anyone know so, we just told the people who asked about her whereabouts that she was studying abroad."

Shein pitied him so much. They might not be experiencing the same thing but they both suffered. Jillyanna raised her hand with a faint smile on her face. "We will think about this issue later but, are you really married? You didn't lie to me last time just to make me agree about this visit, right?"

"Huh? Ah! I am not married."

"I knew it! You lied to me!"

"Well, I don't have the chance to marry her. My fiancée's gone."

The atmosphere turned gloomier and no one spoke for a whole minute. Brown came from the back door, fresh from the shower with a new set of clothes. "What's happening here? Oh! We have a guest?"

Tristan looked at him and smiled faintly. "I'm Tristan. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Brown."

"I'm sorry for asking you insensitive questions." Jillyanna apologized. "I didn't know."

"It's fine but, you actually met her earlier."

"We did?" Travis was the one who asked this question. "Is it the robot?"

"Yes. I built her in memory of my fiancée. When she was alive she would always listen to Jillyanna's song and she always dreamed of meeting her. When I found the identity behind the singer, I promised to let her meet you someday. Sadly, she passed away before I can fulfill my promise. Anyway, let's not talk about it. It's depressing."

Brown didn't really know what they were talking about so, he left them and helped Savannah and Hawk in the kitchen. Valkyrie cleared his throat and stared at the man. "You said you wanted to help us and at the same time get us to help you, right? Do you have any plan in mind? Base on your description, this gang is a large group that is widely spread in our city."

"I have all their information including the leaders. What we need is a high number of manpower because we need to act at the same time before they could give information to their higher ups."

"I need to talk to Calhoun about this." Valkyrie responded.

"I have another question." Travis stated. "Since you weren't able to find anything on us, what will they use against us?"

"They will use brute force! I found them discussing about erasing all of you here including the people in your hacienda and the Madrid's villa. If I may say, this is the biggest and most brutal business acquisition. I wanted to tell the law forces about this but, they also have someone in the police department. I can trust anyone but, you, the target of this matter."

Jillyanna took a deep breath and sigh. "Seriously?! They are planning all these when Travis finally decided to bring me out in two days?! Are they really tired of living?!"

Tristan could only sympathize for having her long-awaited vacation postponed. They needed to make preparation before it's too late. There were so many lives at stake in this acquisition game. "I'm really sorry for telling you this now."

"No, there's no need for you to apologize. You just did the best thing." Travis told him and stood up. "I suggest it would be best if you and Shein works together to gather more information here."

"I can't stay here. It will be bad if they knew that I keep in touch with you. I'll stay in my own place and share the information to Shein."

"Alright. Let's start making preparation after dinner." Valkyrie mentioned and stood up as well. They just finished their discussion, when the four military officers inside received a message from Calhoun about their next mission.

It was purely a coincidence that the given mission was the same topic that Tristan mentioned earlier. Nonetheless, they were happy for having information and several leads on this matter. They don't need to closely monitor the targets as well.

"I think we will have a good cooperation on this." Valkyrie told Tristan. He didn't tell them about the specifics but he told him that the military will be cooperating with him.

Tristan sighed a breath of relief when he finally got an affirmative answer. He was happy that he'd be able to save his sister. He can't let her suffer the same fate as his fiancée. He needed to save her while also saving Jillyanna's family.
