The Tyrant Billionaire

Victor's current alias is Macron. For a professional con artist, having dozens of names is quite normal.

Victor smiled, "Hello Neto, good to see you again. I've brought the goods. Is the money ready?"

"Of course." The Mexican boss signaled, and immediately one of his subordinates stepped forward with a briefcase.

Opening the case under the car's headlights revealed it was filled with dollars.

Victor signaled as well, and his subordinates brought several large packages from the car's trunk, placing them under the headlights.

Both sides verified the money and the drugs.

Finally, everything was confirmed.

"Deal done. I hope Mr. Macron can bring us more goods next time. We can take as much as you can supply now. The entire Los Angeles is our market," the Mexican boss said proudly.

"No problem, we'll set it up next time," Victor nodded with a smile.

Both parties got into their cars, and Victor's convoy left.

The Mexican's car drove into the city and soon into a large slum courtyard. The strategist of the Mexican gang was already waiting for them.

The goods were moved into the house. The strategist looked at the piles of white powder bricks on the ground, used a dagger to open a package, and put some powder into his mouth.

"Hmm, this batch is still very pure. We can mix it with glucose powder and sell one portion as three, tripling the profit," the strategist said proudly.

At this moment,

There was a loud bang in the courtyard.

A large truck crashed through the gate, shocking everyone. Before they could react, a team of HD security personnel in black special combat uniforms rushed in with sub-machine guns.

The security personnel didn't waste words with the gang members, shooting anyone they saw. The Mexicans finally reacted and drew their guns, but they were no match for the security team and were gunned down instantly.

In just a few minutes, the HD security team completed the operation, killing 11 gang members and seizing 250 kilograms of drugs.

As soon as the scene was secured, two reporters came in and started taking pictures. Los Angeles Police Chief Ed walked in to pose for photos and interviews in front of the bodies and drugs.

Everything was arranged perfectly.

Victor returned to the LA office and handed over the briefcase. Bill opened it, saw the money inside, and chuckled.

"Boss, this money is probably all those burrito lovers had. Now it's all ours," Bill joked.

"Boss, what should we do with this money?" Bill asked.

"Distribute the bonuses as appropriate to those involved, and the rest goes to the company account," Hardy said.

The gang has now formed a company and everything is formalized. Hardy must follow the rules and can't pocket the money.

The next day,

Los Angeles Times

The headline read, "LA Police and HD Security Patrol Team Crush Major Drug Deal."

"Yesterday, HD Security received a tip about a Mexican gang planning a drug deal. They immediately tracked and followed them. The gang's hideout was very secretive.

The HD security patrol team used a truck to break down the gate, eventually killing all the drug dealers and seizing 250 kilograms of drugs."

"This is the largest drug bust in LA history, with the seized drugs worth over a million dollars. The police chief stated that due to HD Security's outstanding performance, a reward will be requested from the city government.

"Since HD Security started operating, LA's crime rate has dropped by 50%, making the streets safer. People now feel more secure going out at night, knowing HD Security is patrolling."

Two days later,

The LA city government awarded HD Security a $20,000 reward for their outstanding contribution, and renewed their contract, increasing the number of hires.

More hires meant more revenue.

This might have been the end of the story, but Hardy was informed by Lancer that a California Congressman wanted to visit and meet with HD Security.

"Which congressman?" Hardy asked.

"Congressman Nixon."

Hardy was slightly surprised.

After meeting a future president, Reagan, now it's another future president, Nixon. Nixon is set to rise to power much earlier, becoming the youngest Vice President of the US at 39.

He hadn't sought Nixon out, but Nixon came looking for him. Perhaps his growth had attracted attention from some influential people.

"Lancer, respond to him. I'd be happy to meet Congressman Nixon," Hardy said.

"Also, have Henry prepare the most detailed report on Nixon, as detailed as possible," Hardy instructed.

"I understand."

In the afternoon,

Lancer reported that an appointment with Congressman Nixon was set for two days later. Henry also delivered a detailed report on Nixon.

Nixon, born in 1913, grew up in Yorba Linda near Los Angeles. Now 34, he became a lawyer after graduating from college and joined the Republican Party.

California is a stronghold of the Republican Party.

During WWII, he served in the Navy, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He was elected as a Republican congressman in 1946 after returning from the war.

In reality, House representatives have little power with only two year terms, primarily proposing bills and debating in Congress.

True power lies with Senators, elected statewide to represent all state residents in Washington.

Each state has a governor and two senators, the three highest ranking officials in the state.

Hardy surmised Nixon's visit to HD Security was for a political show.

To climb the political ladder, congressmen need to stage events to increase their influence, paving the way for a Senate run.

HD Security gained national fame through the 'Bank Heist Documentary' and now with the largest drug bust in US history, garnering widespread media coverage.

Many papers reported HD Security's significant impact on LA's safety, with overall crime rates dropping 50%, boosting public safety, and spurring LA's rapid development. Even Hollywood tourism increased.

Such a high profile company naturally attracts a visit from a congressman.

The report would highlight Nixon's visit to HD headquarters, praising their work for LA's safety, encouraging them to keep it up.

Though it's a gesture of support, it's really promoting the congressman himself.

Another possible reason is Nixon might seek Hardy as a benefactor.

Advertising needs funds,

Traveling needs funds,

Organizing a campaign team needs funds.
