954: Chapter 80: Gobbling 3 – Aunt’s Appetite Is Somewhat Big_3 954: Chapter 80: Gobbling 3 – Aunt’s Appetite Is Somewhat Big_3 Nanxi muttered, her dark humor was really hellish.

Neither Niusen nor Geweil could muster a laugh.

A politician’s achievements are always abstract, but the fact that San Rodolfo Prison grew from being America Second to America First speaks volumes without needing words.

“Well, we haven’t made a move yet, and he struck first.

Lake is a man with ideas!”

Sheriff Gru exhaled leisurely and calmly.

He sighed slightly, because he had already foreseen this possibility when he was venting to Cheng Daqi earlier.

But Cheng Daqi had also given him a promise—’One move to settle it, take Lake down!’

Who is Cheng?

He had come this far, fighting against the wind all the way, achieving feats akin to going ultra-God mode and earning five kills in a row.

With such a leader, Gru wasn’t afraid of these minor surprises Lake pulled off!

“My dear big brother, you can’t sit around so leisurely now—I’m about to panic!

Jia is the key figure, the key among the keys.

Now he’s been captured by Lake’s people.

Our underground forces are closely tied to the LAPD, and if we confront him within the police system, we’ll neither have the moral high ground nor the convenience to act!”

Jax was drenched in sweat.

Lake had scored an accidental but devastating hit on them.

“Why can’t we act conveniently?

It’s just that now we need to be tactical about things.

Lake has gained control of the LAPD budget, and now he dares to mess with our business.

This proves he’s ready for a fight with us.”

Sheriff Gru shook his head.

He was finally beginning to grasp the complexities of this power struggle.

In the world of conflict, it’s not just about killing; once he takes out a Tonks, there’s still a Rix and a Jinx waiting behind.

Tonks isn’t just one person, and neither is Lake.

Behind Lake stands San Rodolfo City Mayor Gasetti and the local political forces led by him.

And in the power struggle between Niusen and Gasetti, Gru had already fallen to the sidelines as a “loser”—or at least, that’s how he looked in the eyes of Gasetti, Lake, and the others.

So what if you, Gru, earn tens of millions annually in a commercial company?

The LAPD’s annual budget exceeds five billion!

After deducting essential expenses, if your methods are clever enough, siphoning off a few million wouldn’t be a problem!

Moreover, there’s the erosion of power—that’s far more valuable than straightforward dollars.

Now, Sheriff Gru even felt a kind of thrill, like finally mastering a complex game.

You have Gasetti behind you, Lake.

I have Cheng Daqi behind me.

Gasetti is the top dog of the Democratic Party in San Rodolfo City, while Cheng Daqi is not only the chief of the Republican Party in San Rodolfo but also the top leader of the California Elephant Party.

Troops against troops, generals against generals—Gru wasn’t afraid of Lake’s tricks!

“So how do we fight them?” Jax asked bitterly.

“We’re not on our own now, so don’t panic.”

Sheriff Gru tapped the table with his fingers, reminding his close brother.

“But how do we explain this to Chan?”

The more Jax thought about it, the more stressed he became.

He deeply regretted not going to the scene himself to make sure everything went smoothly.

Enjoying the laziness for a moment only to land in trouble later is a disaster.

“Jax, think about it—our gang, our brothers, we’ve helped him with many critical matters.

But the more things we handle for him, the more likely we are to encounter mishaps.

It’s natural—don’t worry about Chan being dissatisfied, and moreover…”

Leaving a sentence hanging halfway is annoying everywhere, so Jax pressed him.

“Moreover what?”

Gru thought of Cheng Daqi’s attitude that day.

He sighed thoughtfully.

“When he asked us to get Jia out of NITA’s control, he probably already anticipated that Lake and Gasetti might seize the opportunity to deal with us.

Jia’s BEC is a project personally endorsed by Niusen.

If Gasetti makes a move, the situation will escalate into unprecedented complexity.”
