America: Starting with the Last Liberty

Chapter 134 Breaking Bad 4K

Setting up a car repair shop isn't difficult; Lawson has the funds to do it right now.

But Rosen is now a government employee and can't pay out of his own pocket to do things for the FBI; he still has to wait for the FBI's approval.

Although the funds haven't arrived yet, Lawson can choose the location in advance, which will save them a lot of trouble.

So Rosen asked Brian to help him find a suitable shop around Long Beach.

"I'll keep an eye out for you."

Rosen's work hasn't started yet, so it's not appropriate for him to have prolonged contact with Brian.

So after a brief chat, Rosen said goodbye to Brian.

Over the next few days, Rosen waited for news from the FBI while feeding the women around him.

This is a very difficult job. Lawson works very hard every day, experiencing both pain and joy.

So much so that three days later, Rosen already had a thermos in his hand.

Fortunately, Blake and Daisy still had their studies to finish, so they couldn't bother Rosen every day.

Rosen's main challenge is dealing with Svefa and Sofia; otherwise, it's hard to say whether he can hold out.

Fortunately, after a few days of madness, Svefa and Sophia's longing for Rosen was finally released, and Rosen would no longer need to pay his dues so frequently.

In addition, Rosen visited several of his other friends in the past few days, but unfortunately, several of them were not home.

Dominic has gone on vacation to Mexico with his girlfriend, sister, and two younger brothers.

Needless to say, Eva had already returned to Europe before Rosen went to Quantico.

Audrey Bonanno returned to Twin Peaks to continue her studies after the summer vacation ended.

Sofia has promised Audrey that she will help her transfer to a school in Los Angeles as soon as possible, but it will take some time.

After all, Audrey's adoptive father is still alive, so we should at least consider his thoughts.

Donnie also returned to Texas early to be with his wife and daughters.

Megan Kelly is the only one still in Los Angeles, but the blonde beauty is so busy lately because her new show is a huge success that the two can only talk on the phone.

Thankfully, the most difficult time is over. With Lawson's superhuman physique, he should recover quickly.

"I didn't expect it to really be you, Sean."

After receiving an internal FBI notification, Rosen made contact with his new superior.

Unsurprisingly, Rosen's new contact was Sean Arsène, accompanied by his assistant Jane Banner.

Also, Jane Banner has become a full-fledged agent, a level above Rosen's trainee agent.

Having family members in your family makes advancement so fast; Jane became a full-fledged agent in less than a year after becoming a trainee agent.

Theoretically speaking, Rosen should still address Jane as "Sir" whenever they meet in the future.

"Heh! Rosen, you have no idea how much effort I put in to become your upline."

Sean had a relaxed smile on his face.

Rosen guessed that the biggest problem this guy was facing was probably Neil's obstruction.

Neil knew Rosen's abilities and naturally didn't want Sean to get promoted quickly through Rosen.

After all, Neil had finally managed to get ahead of Sean, and he certainly hoped that this wonderful time could last longer.

"Really? How did you solve it?"

"I also have to thank Jane. Jane helped me persuade the director, which is why I was able to become your superior."

Rosen's gaze fell on Jane. This blonde woman's immense power made him even more curious about her family background.

However, this gaze seemed to make Jane a little embarrassed, and her ears turned slightly red.

"By the way, Rosen, have you chosen your undercover target yet?"

Rosen turned his gaze back to Sean.

"Yes, I've contacted an undercover LAPD officer I knew before these past few days, and I want to infiltrate the Byrne gang through him."

"The Byrne Gang? That's a good idea. Is that LAPD officer you mentioned reliable?"

"He will be fine, and we already have a preliminary plan."

Rosen recounted the plan he had discussed with Brian, and Sean's eyes lit up instantly.

"That's a great plan! So you need the funds to open a car repair shop?"

It's easy to talk to smart people; if you were talking to Neil, Rosen would have to explain it all over again.

"Of course, do you think I'd pay for my own undercover work?"

"Of course! Rosen, I will apply to the bureau for funding, but the application process will take some time."

Here's what we'll do: I'll personally sponsor you some money so you can get the repair shop up and running. We'll settle the accounts later once the bureau's funding is approved.

Sean's style of doing things is quite efficient; he arranged the work in just a few words.

Since it wasn't his own money being used, Rosen naturally had no objections.

"Okay, I'll go and prepare now."

"There's one more thing. When you need to contact someone, you can ask Jane. That way, you're less likely to be discovered. Actually, I think you two can pretend to be a couple; those gangsters definitely won't be able to tell!"

Jane glared at Sean.

"Sir, this joke isn't funny at all!"

"Ha! Jane, don't be like that! I'm in such a good mood today! Jane, give the things to Rosen."

Jane rolled her eyes, but still walked up to Rosen and handed him a brand new cell phone and a SIM card.

"This phone is specifically for contacting me, and this SIM card is also a special one. You'd better not use this phone or SIM card for anything else. Also, my phone number—the previous one was a private number. I'll tell you a special phone number and code for contacting you now."

Rosen had done similar things before when he was an informant for Neil, but the phone the FBI provided was nowhere near as powerful as that futuristic phone from another time, so Rosen continued to use his own phone, though he would use the FBI's SIM card.

of.

Well, after all, the FBI's phone cards don't require Rosen to top them up.

Then, Rosen and Jane agreed on a secret code, and that was it for today's work.

However, before parting ways, Sean gave Rosen a reminder.

"Rosen, I know you have experience as an undercover agent, but there are some things I need to say: don't easily trust other undercover agents. Whether it's the FBI or the Los Angeles Police Department, there are many undercover agents who have defected. You can't be sure if these undercover agents have turned against you."

Others might fear undercover agents turning against them, but Rosen wasn't.

By simply wearing hostile sunglasses, Rosen can see how others treat him.

But Sean meant well, so Rosen didn't object.

"I will."

Sean patted Rosen on the shoulder one last time.

"Keep it up! Jane, let's go."

Sean and Jane quickly got back to their car, and only then did Jane ask what was wrong.

"Sir, why am I being put in charge of contacting Rosen?"

"It's partly because you're closer to Rosen, and partly because of Neil's opposition."

Jane felt that the latter was the real reason, and Sean had no choice but to use her as a shield.

"Jane, you need to keep a close eye on Rosen. I've investigated the cases he was involved in before and analyzed his behavior patterns. This guy might, well, be a bit too outrageous. You need to be careful not to let him do anything reckless."

"I will, sir."

"Let's go back to the FBI building."

New Job: Breaking Bad

Difficulty: ☆☆☆

[Main objective: To dismantle Adams Byrne's criminal network]

[Additional Condition 1: Find criminal evidence worth at least thirty million US dollars]

[Additional Condition 2: Arrest all core members of the Byrne Gang]

[Additional Condition 3: Arrest Adams Byrne]

Current status: Preparation phase

[Purchasable Information: 3 items]

A new job.

Rosen hadn't taken on a new job for several months, especially one from the FBI.

I wonder if completing this task will enhance the FBI's reputation?

Let's take a look at the information about this job first.

-30000

[Intelligence 1: Adams Byrne has advanced lung cancer.]

[Intelligence 2: Adams Byrne is hiding a son with an intellectual disability.]

[Intelligence 3: Adams Byrne appears to be considering retiring.]

Wow! These three pieces of bad news are all incredibly informative!

So, Adams Byrne is a mob boss with terminal lung cancer who could die at any moment, has a mentally challenged son, and wants to retire?

This intelligence completely contradicts what the FBI has reported!

Rosen still remembered Sean Arthur's description of Adams Byrne: cruel, insidious, and cunning.

How could a dangerous gang leader be a dying old man who wants to retire with his mentally challenged son?

On second thought, Adams Byrne is already 61 years old, which is considered quite old in the underworld, and he has indeed reached the age where he should retire.

Perhaps this could be a starting point.

We still need more intelligence from within the Byrne Gang. The FBI's intelligence is really lacking; we might as well ask Brian.

At the other end of the line, at the Old White Cafe in Long Beach.

This cafe is located in downtown Long Beach, and its interior is decorated in a high-end and elegant style, clearly indicating that it is a high-end establishment.

The cafe's menu also reflects this, with even the most basic latte costing $20.

$20 is enough for a full meal in Los Angeles.

Although Long Beach is the second largest city in Los Angeles County, its per capita income is very low, and few people are willing to spend a lot of money on coffee.

However, the owner clearly didn't care about this, and even though the café was deserted, he didn't change his menu prices.

Today, two customers, both elderly men, walked into the coffee shop.

The store employees immediately looked at the two customers warily, as if they were on guard against something.

"Wow! Byrne, every time I come to your shop, I have a strange feeling. Why is that?"

An old man sitting in a chair reading a book answered the question.

"Frank, maybe you just don't like this environment."

Frank sniffed the air and then gave a look of sudden realization.

"Oh! I see! France, what's that kind of environment called again? Right, aristocratic! Someone like me, a roughneck, certainly couldn't adapt to this kind of environment! Don't you think so, Byrne?"

Frank's words were barbed and pointed, causing Adams to frown as he read, and several nearby waiters immediately came over to issue a warning.

"Frank Castro, you'd better show some respect to Mr. Byrne!"

"Respect? I've always respected Byrne, but Byrne has never seemed to respect me!"

With that, Frank rudely pushed the waiter aside and walked toward Adams.

The waiter got angry and wanted to fight, but Adams stopped him.

"Kevin, bring Mr. Castro over here."

The waiter named Kevin glared angrily at Frank, then stopped France.

Adams only said to let Frank pass, but he didn't say to let France pass as well.

France stared helplessly at Kevin; he certainly didn't have the guts to make the first move on someone else's turf.

Frank sat down across from Adams and stared at him.

"Adams, why didn't you sell that shipment to me?"

Adams put down his book and looked up at Frank.

"Because others bought them first, it's first come, first served. You should know this principle."

"Fuck! But every time I come to you, you say you're out of stock! Then when I turn around, you have it in stock again! What do you mean by this?"

Frank practically spat in Adams's face, and even with his good temper, he was still a little angry.

"Frank, I'm the seller. I decide who I sell to! You can get the goods from someone else; I won't stop you!"

Frank's face instantly darkened. Adams had no shortage of buyers for his goods, but he couldn't find a more stable source of supply.

Frank's smile quickly returned.

"Adams, I was just joking. I urgently need a shipment right now, so how about you do me a favor and sell it to me?"

Adams shook his head.

"This batch of goods has already been reserved by Karl Rost. If you want it, you can wait for the next batch."

Frank's face changed color, clearly on the verge of exploding.

But he ultimately held back, after all, this was Adams's territory, and he had only brought one of his men with him.

Despite Frank's unpredictable and irritable demeanor, he knows who he can throw a tantrum at and who he can't.

"That's great! Adams, then I'll wait for you to finish your shipment!"

With that, Frank stood up with a smile and left the café with France.

Kevin walked up to Adams, his face full of hesitation.

"Kevin, is there something you want to ask me?"

"Mr. Byrne, why don't you want to sell the goods to Frank Castro?"

"That madman Frank actually sold drugs to my alma mater! This madman will get us all in trouble sooner or later!"

Adams' face showed disgust. He was a graduate of Caltech and had a deep affection for his alma mater, so he deeply resented Frank for selling drugs directly to Caltech.

"Mr. Byrne, Frank isn't the type to sit idly by. Will he cause us trouble?"

"Definitely! Kevin, be careful lately."

"OK."

As soon as Frank left Adams's coffee shop, his face changed drastically and he started swearing, spewing out Irish slang for several minutes without repeating himself.

After a long while, when Frank had finished rantting, France finally spoke.

"Mr. Castro, what do we do next? Caltech has run out of stock."

"Wait a minute, let me make a call and ask!"

Frank took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, this is Frank."

"Yes! Killian, where are you now?"

"Black Shark Bar? I'll be right there!"

After hanging up the phone, Frank looked towards France.

"Get a few men over here to back things up. Killian isn't as principled as Adams!"

"Yes, Mr. Castro."
