4 April, Warren Gong's Villa and David Hwang's Villa, City K

Warren called out "Give me a couple of minutes to finish off these business papers and explain to our guests the delay."

Having brought himself a couple of minutes, Warren quickly opened up a filing cabinet and hit the pages he had written, and presented his desk as if he had just been doing legitimate business work, rather than what he had been doing. The last thing he needed was the Devil and his minions becoming aware that he had suspicions about them and why they sort out the cartel.

After getting thing ready, he walked to the study door, opened it and headed out to meet his guests. As he reached the lounge he said "My apologise, I had planned to be finished dealing with things for my businesses, but my sister interrupted me. Come into my office and we can deal with what we need."

Warren turned and motioned to one of his subordinates to arrange for tea and coffee for everyone and a light snack before heading to his study followed by the Devil and some of his minions.

Sitting down, Warren figured to a point he had to get on the front foot and explain the reason for the delay. Being truthful, to a point would protect him from any suspicions as to what he was doing.

"I have to apologise for delaying this meeting. My sister was here.."

"And started to cause trouble. If my knowledge is right, she is in a dispute with her former daughter-in-law as custody of her grandson Dominic," responded the Devil. He made sure he knew what was exactly the situation with all of Warren Gong's family as the last thing he and Robert needed at this time with their plans about to be executed was something from the group they were using to come and surprise them.

"Your information is correct. I should not be surprised as you would not have gotten to your position, like us, without being careful about potential outside damage sources. She is getting too reckless and thinks just because she wants something it will happen."

"And she wants her grandson now, out of the control of her former daughter-in-law."

"Correct. She does not get the risks, so I have made it clear that she is being cut off, and all that will be put into place in the next day or two. She has no idea what she is risking, and to be honest with you those are risks I cannot take. Yes, the legitimate businesses have a level of income but.."

"Your other activities are your main income source and you use the business to launder that money."

"Correct. I promise you that it will be sorted, but we need to get off this, as we have better things to do with our time."

"True. I have information that the government forces have detected the south west pipeline that you have been using to smuggle weapons and the like into the country however they have not worked out what happens once it comes into the country. My information is that they are going to hit those routes in two days."

Warren looked directly at the Devil and could see that he was serious. That was information that he did not have, and the south west route was the best route to use. "Are you certain?"

"Absolutely. My source is impeccable. For some groups it is their only route, and they want to shut down thar pipeline to control organisations."

"True. Even though it is the easiest route, the number of other organisations who use it has meant that we do not use it as our primary means to get thing into the country."

Pausing Warren thought for a few seconds, and while the Devil wanted to say something, he knew he needed to let Warren have time to consider the situation. Would he do what he wanted him to do?

Warren himself, while thinking observed the Devil to see his reactions. Most people's instincts would be to abandon that as an option but doing that would alert the authorities to the fact they knew about the raid and make them a larger target. The question was who to sacrifice to protect the organisation, and could they make those moves in 24 hours?

After allowing the silence to be there for a couple of minutes Warren responded "That means I move to make a couple of moves. While I hate sacrificing men at this time, pulling everyone out alerts the authorities to the fact that we knew about the situation. I just need to move a few people from the area that know more about out activities, as we do not need them opening up to the authorities." After a couple of seconds pause Warren added "Just because some of my relatives are stupid, I am not. I would not have gotten to my position if I did not consider the situation. That was an excuse for this meeting that you told others, but it is about something else."

The Devil paused. His information was correct Warren Gong was perceptive, and that was what he needed. The concern was, did he realise the true situation? "Warren, true. I need your family and most of the elites within your organisation to believe one thing so we can move forward with our joint plans. I have secured through other contacts a large amount of high-powered military weapons from the United States. I know the military here are aware of their disappearance.."

"And you want them into the country? You know the risks if the military are aware of them?"

"They have no idea I have them. Plus, I have them staged in the north west to come through your channels there. The military will be involved in dealing the raids in the South West, so.."

"There is an opportunity to get them across. That is a risk I am willing to take, but you know the deal."

"I do. We each get twenty-five percent of the weapons for our own use, and the remaining half is sold and the proceeds split forty percent to us and sixty percent to you, to account for the risks in smuggling the items across the borders and compensate those families of men caught." Warren paused and added "Those weapons will be good, there are a couple of groups in the capital wanting to muscle in on some of our activities so we can use them to deal with that threat."

"True, now going forward there are a couple of other things we need to deal with.." started The Devil.

Three hours later, David walking into the lounge in his villa found Robert waiting for him. As Robert handed him a drink he said "Cousin, make sure that raid is stalled for say forty-eight hours, so that the Gong Cartel can get ready to do what is needed."

"Should not be a problem. Colonel Rong is out of the country, and as a result those idiots are not focused on the intelligence group."
