Li Mochen couldn't help but frown. "Nine people? That's a bit too many. "
"There's nothing we can do. We've already done our best."
Mike Ross shrugged. "My two bosses said that someone must have put extra pressure on the police department. Ammo, it seems like your enemy isn't just the Dragon Witch Cult. I think if you hadn't been so careful this time, there would have been more people trapped. "
Li Mochen couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Then, he said with gratitude, "Please tell Mr. Harvey Spector that I can personally give Pearson, Darby, Spector Law Firm a reward of 100,000 gold duns in addition to the contract. If you can clear my men's names, I can give another 300,000. Mike, my men who were arrested, can they be exonerated? "
"Of course!"
Mike Ross smiled. "Our law firm has the best criminal lawyers, and the police and the FBI don't have much evidence. We'll help them get rid of false accusations. "
Li Mochen couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips in satisfaction. "And then there's Hazel. I have to get custody of her as soon as possible."
"I've been pushing this matter forward, and all the necessary procedures have been completed. Next, you just need to take Miss Hazel to Baxley City. As for the court and social services, we need to consult Miss Hazel's personal opinion, and it can be settled in a day or two. "
Mike Ross looked extremely confident. "Dani Jax and her husband are greatly responsible for Miss Hazel's disappearance. They can't keep Hazel's custody no matter what."
"Sure, I'll go with her to Baxley City on Monday."
In fact, Li Mochen was no longer worried that Hazel would be mistreated. Now in the entire City of Atlanta, there weren't many people who could hurt this little girl.
However, he still planned to keep Hazel by his side to train him. The seal that Li Mochen cast in the early hours of the morning was not permanent. The child had to master his own power before the seal lost its effect.
Therefore, if this matter could be settled as soon as possible, it would be better to settle it as soon as possible.
The next person Li Mochen met was Alyssa Targaryen. This person had become the link between him, Sampson Brut, and Lee Tae-lai.
After they were alone, the figure told Li Mochen a frightening number. "This time, we lost 13 men and 24 were injured. Lee Tae-lai and Sampson estimate that the compensation alone will cost us 15 million gold duns. As for the bonus, it's estimated to be around eight million. "
Li Mochen felt his heart ache, but he was not surprised.
After all, they were mid-level professionals with an annual salary of 50,000 to 150,000 gold duns. The current rule in America was to pay compensation at ten times the annual salary. The ratio that Li Mochen had set last night was higher than the norm, at 12 times the annual salary.
While Li Mochen was stingy, he was not stingy in this regard. If not for the fact that he was indeed short on gold duns, he would have offered a higher ratio.
After all, these people had sacrificed their lives for Li Mochen. In this world, there was nothing more precious than life.
"We've gained quite a lot this time. We found 3 million gold duns in cash and 4 million gold duns worth of precious metals. We also took down their armory and material warehouse. After calculating the various magical materials, we found around 30 million gold duns. Then, there's the equipment in the armory. There's a total of 30 9A military equipment sets. Then, there's the equipment from the Dragon Witch Cult. We can gather 65 9A, seven 11A, and four 15S sets. These all came from the seven Flame Calamity Apostles. There's also 19 16S and 17S equipment sets. The total value of these weapons and equipment is more than 30 million gold duns, but about 7 million gold duns have to be used to offset the bonus. As for the rest, Mister Brut suggested that we hide them for future use. He believes that the war between you and the Dragon Witch Cult has just come to an end, and that they could come back at any time. So, it's necessary to maintain a stronger combat force. "
Li Mochen's face was expressionless, but he sighed inwardly.
Of course, Sampson Brut's considerations were correct. This was the reason why he thought that he was short of money.
"Other than that, we've also obtained 13 Grade 9A heavy sniper rifles, seven intact Grade 9A recoilless cannons, nine Grade 9A rocket launchers, three Grade 9A heavy machine guns, and six Grade 9A light machine guns. This time, Mr. Li Tailai and Mr. Brutus have come to the same conclusion that these heavy equipment should be preserved. It's difficult to sell them in Atlanta, and it's also difficult to buy them on the market. They're under close surveillance by the FBI and CIA. "
"Keep them."
Li Mochen was decisive. "Sell the materials as soon as possible. Also, get them to find a suitable location in the City of Atlanta as soon as possible. I think we need a stronghold like the Gerrard Refinery. It doesn't have to be as big as the Dragon Witch Cult, but it needs to be sturdy and hidden. We need a fortress-like base. "
"Are we really going to keep the heavy equipment?"
Alisa clicked her tongue and muttered, "I feel like I'm turning into a criminal by following you."
Heavy equipment and a base. This was a world she had never set foot in before.
"Alisa, don't tell me that the Targaryens don't have these things?"
Li Mochen scratched his face in embarrassment. "Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything immoral, and I won't use those weapons either. I won't do anything that violates the law. I'm only doing this for self-protection."
"Isn't this already against the law? Heavy equipment, a military base, and Black Gold. And last night's incident, starting a war within the city. If the authorities pursue this, I'll have to spend at least ten years in prison. "
Alisa snorted, but she reluctantly accepted Li Mochen's explanation. "Ammo, are you sure it's for self-protection?"
"Of course!"
This time, Li Mochen's expression was resolute, without the slightest hint of deception, "If people don't offend me, I won't offend them."
"Alright, I'll help you."
Alisa sighed. "I've already fallen into your trap. I can't get out, right? But you have to give me some manpower. I need two or three professional finance personnel, and a ten-man extra-legal squad with powerful combat and investigative abilities. "
She knew why Li Mochen wanted her to intervene in the private army's affairs. On one hand, it was to have an extra supervisor to keep things in check. On the other hand, it was because Lee Tae-lai and Sampson Brut's identities were not suitable to be put on the table. It was inconvenient for her to handle many affairs.
But she was from the Targaryens, after all. She had seen many similar incidents. She was well aware of how those big families and forces behaved in private. She knew that the key was wealth, power, and social influence. As long as Li Mochen had Antonio's status and power, the police and FBI would not be able to do anything to him.
That was why she did not fear the judicial authorities of Atlanta, and did not reject Li Mochen's arrangements.
"Of course, I'll allocate funds to you, Alisa. But I'm afraid one extra-legal squad won't be enough. In addition, you can recruit three combat squads. They'll be responsible for monitoring the internal — "
As Li Mochen spoke, the phone beside him suddenly rang. He picked up the microphone and heard Frank's voice coming from the other side of the phone.
"André, how are you? I want to ask you, are you interested in Edwin Antonio's legacy? "
