The Tyrant Billionaire

Chapter 307: Chapter 307 The Selton Family Territory

The Global Times:

"In this conflict, HD Security played a significant role. Some thugs resisted stubbornly, only to be killed on the spot by heavily armed security personnel.

"Chief Brown of the San Francisco Police Department stated that their cooperation with HD Security was excellent. HD Security has become an important force in maintaining San Francisco's security.

"Finally, the police announced an additional charge against Leib Selton for instigating gang conflict, leading to his further pursuit."

However, finding Leib Selton might be challenging in the future.

...

The Bahamas boasts paradise like beauty, with sapphire blue waters.

Bodyguards escorted Leib Selton as he sailed out to fish. At that moment, he was unaware of the gunfight in San Francisco the previous night.

Leib Selton lounged leisurely, puffing on a cigar.

What did being on the run matter?

He could still enjoy a comfortable life. He hadn't expected Trotto to rebel, but he believed he could handle him. San Francisco was still his.

Leib Selton, cigar in mouth, sat at the boat's edge, noticing another yacht approaching. He didn't pay much attention.

As the yacht drew closer, he saw a few young men on the deck, one of whom smiled and waved at him.

Leib Selton sneered, not bothering with these youngsters. But suddenly, the men on the deck pulled out large objects from their feet.

Bazooka 60mm rocket launchers.

Leib Selton was stunned.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!"

The young men fired, launching several rockets toward Selton's yacht.

"Ah~!"

"Boom boom boom~!"

With Selton's screaming, the yacht exploded into flames. Soon, the entire yacht was engulfed in a fiery blaze.

The young men weren't done yet, launching another volley at the yacht, which disintegrated completely. Selton and a few bodyguards sank into the sea with the wreckage.

The young men threw their rocket launchers into the sea, turned their boat around, and sped away. Soon, they disappeared, leaving only some scattered debris on the water, which would be washed away shortly.

No one would know that the once powerful underground ruler of San Francisco, the head of the Selton family, had met a gruesome end there.

With the internal strife in the Selton family, the death of the second in command, the head on the run, and gang members either dead or captured, the entire gang was utterly destroyed.

But their assets and territory remained. How should these be handled?

Other forces in San Francisco were eyeing them.

The Brazilian Gang.

"Boss, this is an excellent opportunity. We could take over the Selton family's territory and expand our influence," one leader suggested.

The Brazilian Gang boss shook his head.

"The Los Angeles Gang has already made it clear that we cannot participate."

"Why can't we participate? Whoever grabs it first gets it. The Selton family's territory is empty now, we could take it over easily," another person argued.

"Do you really think no one is watching Selton's territory? Look at the HD Security patrol cars on the streets, at least one at every corner. Do you think they're just there for show? Do you think the Selton family's conflict was purely internal? Don't be so eager to bite the bait, or you'll end up with a hook in your mouth, or worse, lose your life.

"I suspect the Los City Company will soon take over the Selton family's territory. We can then work together with them. Our businesses don't conflict, and our main revenue comes from drugs, which they aren't involved in, We can negotiate selling our product on their territory. Now, go back and keep a low profile."

The subordinates left.

The boss looked at them, thinking how ignorance breeds fearlessness. The less they knew, the bolder they were because they couldn't see the danger. If the Selton family's territory were so easy to take, he would have done it already. He didn't need his subordinates to remind him.

But he knew this piece of meat wasn't his to eat, nor could he swallow it.

Some smaller gangs were less cautious. A Mexican gang leader saw an opportunity and excitedly led his men to seize the Selton family's assets.

They planned to take over the Selton family's casino first, the most lucrative business. But before they could enter the casino, a dozen HD Security patrol cars roared in, heavy machine guns mounted on the roofs. The Mexicans all dropped to the ground, trembling in fear.

Some wet the ground beneath them.

They were quickly taken away.

Not many people noticed when the Bill Gang brought in a large force to take over the Selton family, but observant individuals saw the Selton family's assets gradually being taken over.

The Selton family's businesses were traditional gang operations: casinos, prostitution, loan sharking, protection rackets, robbery, theft, etc.

Recently, the drug trade had become their largest source of income.

The Selton family also had a well developed smuggling business. San Francisco, being the most important western port city in the U.S., saw many smuggled goods passing through, with the Selton family controlling a complete smuggling network.

They even cooperated with many shipping companies for large scale smuggling operations.

Hardy was particularly interested in this and instructed Bill to preserve and expand it.

The Los Angeles Gang began to consolidate their assets.

The casino managers were brought in, trembling before the Los Angeles Gang. "Don't worry, as long as you keep working diligently, your treatment will remain the same."

"Yes, yes, I will work hard," the manager promised.

Other businesses were handled similarly, making the transition smooth and orderly.

The small business owners in the Selton family's territory were initially worried about being squeezed by the new gang, but they were pleasantly surprised to be informed that protection fees were canceled.

This news delighted many small businesses, quickly stabilizing the situation in the former Selton family territory.

Someone contacted shipping companies, reassuring them that they could continue their previous cooperation with the Los City Company. The Selton family's own shipping company was also taken over by Bill's people.

As for how to legally transfer someone else's property, no one did it better than the mafia. All it took was a transaction contract.

In no time, the Los Angeles Gang seamlessly took over all of the Selton family's assets within a week.

The news shocked other Italian Mafia families, especially Emilio Bassini, head of the Bassini family. He was speechless for a long time after hearing the news.

The Selton family had been Bassini's staunch ally and a crucial foothold for Bassini on the West Coast, painstakingly developed over a decade. He couldn't believe it was taken away so easily. Bassini couldn't accept this.
