Daria was well aware that this negotiation was actually a test from her boss...

She knew she had been quite self-centered, and what she'd done in the past was not really commendable as an excellent employee.

However, her boss was still willing to trust her and even prepare to entrust her with some important external communication tasks.

This made Daria, who appreciated her boss's open-mindedness, very moved. Under such circumstances, she absolutely would not allow herself to mess up.

Moreover, the groundwork had already been laid, so if she couldn't put on a good show, she might be stuck as a little assistant for life.

Faced with Kate's vague suspicion, Daria bent over and tapped a few keys on the laptop, then a satellite photo of the money vault was projected onto the wall...

"This is a photo taken by a NASA satellite yesterday..."

Daniel, who had been sitting next to Kate without speaking, squinted at the photo. A few minutes later, he shook his head in disbelief and said, "Shit, how did you get this?

We would need at least six signatures to apply for satellite reconnaissance."

Daria glanced at Kate and smiled as she said, "That's because your budget is limited. In contrast, the 'Refugee Group' has much more in terms of budget and authority compared to you.

I just made a call to Kobe Andrews at the Department of Homeland Security, and he got me the latest satellite photos.

By the way, as a group attached to the FBI system, how much funding do you have each year?

Do you travel by business jet, or squeeze into economy class when you buy tickets?"

Daniel instantly felt the low-pressure atmosphere emanating from Kate beside him. This cunning fox covered his chest, pretending to be hurt, and said, "Oh, Daria, we're old acquaintances. Can you not bring up my wounds?

Although the Bangkok Group's funding is insufficient, my salary is pretty good now. If you have some free time, I'd really like to invite you for a drink..."

Daria gave a middle finger to Daniel, who was deliberately making irrelevant remarks, and said angrily, "Our boss still remembers the grudge with the 'Replacers,' and it's been almost half a year, and you still haven't found the real mastermind behind the Los Angeles Replacers.

You group of incompetents, how disappointing!"

Then Daria turned sideways and patted the photo on the wall, saying, "You guys don't have money, but you'll have it after you take over...

You want to catch 'Shorty Guzman,' take this place, and then support Tiago in his revenge, forcing him to show up."

Kate looked at Daria's confident demeanor and shook her head, saying, "Unless the US Army deploys ground forces, I can't think of any way to take the money from the vault.

I don't know the exact location, but as long as it's within the Sinaloa Group's territory, vehicles carrying cash can't break through their blockade.

And have you considered, when Tiago is carrying several hundred million US dollars in cash, what he first encounters is not support, but the pursuit from both the Mexican underworld and law enforcement?"

Daria knew whether the vault could be seized was the key to convincing Kate to cooperate fully...

In the face of skepticism, Daria appeared very calm, and she pointed at the photo behind her once again, saying, "Tiago provided the locations of four vaults, and this one is definitely not the easiest to take.

But do you know why my boss chose this one?"

Kate glanced at Tiago, who was deep in thought, and shook her head, saying, "I don't know..."

Daria smiled and switched the photo, then pointed at a red dot on the map, saying, "This is La Cruz in Sinaloa State, and it's where Tiago's hometown is located.

The Sinaloa Group's training camp is also here. Tiago was once the head of the training camp, and his brothers, who have been with him since their service began, are now also mid-level members of the Sinaloa Group. However, because of his issues, those few people are being sidelined now."

Then Daria looked at the suddenly attentive Tiago, she smiled and said, "We won't run. We'll fight the Sinaloa Group right here in La Cruz!

As long as you can convince your few brothers to help, and with the personnel we prepare for you, you can easily wipe out the forces the Sinaloa Group has stationed in La Cruz.

With Kate's help, the Mexican government won't intervene, and when you have the territory and hundreds of millions of dollars in cash, you can expand unrestrainedly from La Cruz.

You once controlled the gunmen group of the Sinaloa Group, you understand their operation model...

Initially, as long as you establish a foothold in La Cruz before they can react, you can continuously attack to wear down the Sinaloa Group, forcing 'Shorty Guzman' to surface."

After finishing, Daria switched to another photo, pointing at the city of La Cruz and a highway to its north, saying, "The vault is in a farm on the outskirts north of La Cruz, taking it down isn't difficult...

Once the vault calls for external reinforcements, the first to respond would definitely be people from La Cruz.

We'll set an ambush here, sweep away the main gunman force of La Cruz, and then head south with the money to La Cruz.

As long as we time it right, and have some local cooperation, clearing the Sinaloa Group members in La Cruz before reinforcements from other directions arrive isn't particularly difficult.

We don't aim to occupy La Cruz, but to take it as a base point, using the money as bait, to set ambushes and eliminate as many reinforcements as possible."

Kate couldn't help but stand up after hearing this, walked to the map, and observed it carefully...

La Cruz is a small coastal city in Sinaloa State, where the transportation isn't very developed, and the population is not large...

Near the small town, there's only one Highway 15D and another Highway 2 running through the city, connecting Highway 15D to the city's west and the Northeast Highway 15.

In other words, as long as Highway No. 2 is blocked, the initial offensive of the Sinaloa Group can be cut off.

When the Sinaloa Group, after experiencing setbacks, starts looking for other ways to sneak through other small roads, at least half a month will have passed.

At this point, even if Kate were foolish, she'd realize that robbing the cash vault really isn't the goal, and who ends up with the money doesn't even matter in the end...

The vault is located in the northern suburb of La Cruz, and trying to exit with money through the Sinaloa Group's vast territory is definitely impossible. However, if the highway ambush is successful, Tiago can easily rush into La Cruz without any problems.

Money isn't the most important thing. The key is to use the cash as bait to lure the Sinaloa Group to continuously send people to La Cruz, intercept them en route, or ambush them in the city, deplete their manpower, and strike at the core forces of the Sinaloa Group as much as possible.

And that's definitely not all...

Tiago is an isolated soldier; without external support, he definitely can't hold out for long, so...

Kate's eyes followed the map to the southeast and pointed to Halis State, saying, "It's only just over 300 kilometers from La Cruz...

When Tiago starts a war with his old employer, shouldn't I push Helix New Generation to advance north?"

Daria smiled and said, "The boss said you're a cunning woman; now it seems that's exactly right...

Helix New Generation has always been competing with the Sinaloa Group. Last month, during the turmoil in the Sinaloa Group, there was an intense clash in Nayarit State, resulting in nearly 200 casualties on both sides.

Do you think when Tiago appears, they'll just stand by quietly?

Kate, if you want to cooperate, you have to offer something tangible, or 'Shorty Guzman' won't jump into your lap on his own."

Kate listened, sighed slightly, sat back in her seat, crossed her arms, and thought for a few minutes, saying, "I can help with Tiago's family's fake death escape...

New identities and even exemptions are not a problem!

We've already reached an agreement with the Mexican Government; 'Shorty Guzman' is the confirmed target for both of us.

I can release some misleading information from Mexico City to distract the major drug cartels, while also helping conceal Tiago's identity and offering him a certain degree of assistance."

Kate glanced at the Mountain Eagle on the terrace and sighed, saying, "Honestly, it's not all that complicated...

In reality, if Tiago's family members just died, Mountain Eagle could directly release Tiago to let him go home for revenge.

Your boss has already fallen out with the Sinaloa Group. Having Tiago start a war with them more aptly serves his needs for asserting dominance, and it allows us to openly provide political and resource assistance to Tiago.

Your boss has the capability..."

Daria laughed disdainfully and said, "My boss indeed has the capability, but in that case, why would we need you?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

She looked at Tiago, whose expression was uncertain, and said with a smile, "Everyone thinks Tiago is a one-off expendable, but my boss doesn't think so.

We all know that trying to dismantle the family's alliance in the federated Sinaloa Group by just capturing one 'Shorty Guzman' or destroying one or two vaults is impossible.

Using the boss's political resources to support Tiago's war with his old employer is indeed thrilling, but what does my boss gain?

Those problematic black money?

If you just want revenge, then destroying their vaults and causing continuous bloodshed is a quicker way to spread my boss's resolve.

When the bloodshed reaches a certain level, there will definitely be internal discord within the Sinaloa Group...

Just like when Arctic Fox struck the Juarez Group, they would seek peace!"

Kate glanced at Tiago, who suddenly perked up, sighed, and said, "You guys will have other actions, right?

When Tiago has driven a nail into the heartland of the Sinaloa Group, they will reveal many flaws...

After feeling the pain, they will still seek peace. Then what will Tiago do?"

Daria spread her hands with a smile and said, "What are you talking about?

Tiago's family wasn't killed by the Sinaloa Group, their grudge is just a misunderstanding.

The Sinaloa Group is different from the other drug cartels; many in their ranks are politically minded and don't follow a purely violent path...

When the misunderstandings are resolved, and Helix New Generation launches a full offensive, where will the Sinaloa Group find the energy to fight to the death with Tiago?

At that point, if Tiago is willing to voluntarily hand over the remaining money and request to go to the front line in Nayarit where 'Helix New Generation' is clashing...

Whether or not the Sinaloa Group is then willing to accept him, letting them vacate an area in Nayarit for him to serve as a buffer, they'd undoubtedly be willing.

Of course, Tiago's ultimate target must be Puerto Vallarta at the border between Nayarit State and Hariocos State...

Because my boss is in the trade business, he plans to expand operations in El Salvador; the ports along the west side of Central America are his target."

Kate stared into Daria's eyes, shaking her head, and said, "No, there must be other matters..."
