The Tyrant Billionaire

Trotto bit his lip. He knew he couldn\'t kill the shooter now. He ordered him locked up and then told the others, "Something is definitely wrong here. I did not write that anonymous letter. I will clarify things with Selton. For now, return to your territories and don\'t act without my orders."

Trotto finished speaking and was taken to the hospital. His loyalists conspired in the hospital. Now that he was labeled a snitch, he couldn\'t clear his name. They had two options: run or fight.

That night, a fierce gunfight erupted within the Selton family in San Francisco.

One side launched an attack, while the other was prepared. The numbers on both sides were about equal, leading to a bloody battle with many casualties.

San Francisco police received reports of the violence. HD Security dispatched over a dozen police cars, armed with heavy weapons, to cordon off the area. They didn\'t intervene in the fight; they waited for it to end.

This was typical of American police handling gang shootouts in the 60s. Neither side were good guys. No one cared if they died. Intervening could be dangerous, so they cordoned off the area, letting the gangs exhaust themselves before stepping in.

In a room, the phone rang.

Hardy got up and went to the study to answer it.

It was Henry.

"Boss, we thought they\'d hold off for a while, but as soon as the news broke, both sides started fighting. Now, two groups are engaged in a fierce battle in one block. It\'s like a war zone."

Hardy thought to himself that the sides probably had longstanding grudges and didn\'t trust each other. When something happened, they acted immediately to strike first.

"Tell Bill he can act now."

"Got it, boss."

Hardy hung up the phone and returned to the bedroom. Irina lay in bed, her curves like waves. Hardy lifted the quilt, hugged her from behind, and slowly squeezed in to sleep.

...

The gunfight in San Francisco was still ongoing.

Sometimes, when people are blinded by blood lust, they act without thinking and disregard the consequences. At this moment, the second in command\'s men and Leib Selton\'s men only wanted to eliminate each other.

The police arrived.

HD Security arrived.

San Francisco Television, collaborating with ABC, sent photographers, this was excellent material for them, another sensational news piece for tomorrow\'s broadcast.

Reporters from the Global Times also rushed over.

As did other newspaper reporters.

Gunfire echoed continuously in the distance, sometimes fierce, sometimes calm.

Suddenly.

An explosion occurred within the block, a ball of flames shot into the sky.

Photographers and reporters hurriedly took pictures.

Meanwhile, Chief Brown of the San Francisco Police Department was sitting in the command car of HD Security, smoking and chatting with Rossi, the head of San Francisco HD Security.

"Chief Brown, the Selton family is having an internal conflict, which might trigger a chain reaction among other gangs. I think it\'s necessary to strengthen patrols in the near future and suppress those with such thoughts," Rossi suggested.

"You mean, with the fall of the Selton family, others might covet their territory, leading to conflicts among other gangs?" Chief Brown asked.

"Exactly."

Chief Brown nodded, "Indeed, we should consider this. Once today\'s issue is resolved, I\'ll have the patrol team strengthen their efforts. Anyone who dares to make a move should be suppressed hard."

"That\'s what I think too, for the sake of San Francisco\'s security," Rossi said with a smile.

Gradually.

The gunfire diminished significantly, even going silent for extended periods.

Chief Brown ordered the police and security personnel to enter the conflict zone together.

Before entering, Chief Brown announced, "They are a bunch of vicious thugs armed with weapons. When you encounter them, order them to drop their weapons immediately. If anyone disobeys and poses a threat to you, you are authorized to shoot them on sight."

This order effectively granted permission to shoot, justified under the circumstances.

The police began to enter.

Some reporters wanted to follow, but they were stopped. "It\'s too dangerous inside. Please wait here and conduct interviews after it\'s over."

"Rat-a-tat-tat~ Rat-a-tat-tat~!"

"Bang bang bang~!"

As the police and security personnel entered, fierce gunfire erupted again within the block, ceasing only after about twenty minutes.

Not long after, the security personnel emerged, some with prisoners, some carrying the wounded, and finally, the dead. Someone spotted the body of the Selton family\'s second in command, riddled with bullets, already deceased.

Reporters rushed forward to take photos.

Seeing the situation stabilize, Chief Brown straightened his uniform and stepped in front of the reporters to start the interview.

Reporter: "Chief Brown, what do you think about today\'s events?"

Chief Brown: "Today was a gang conflict. The exact cause is still unknown, but we will conduct a thorough investigation. I just received a report that over sixty bodies were found at the scene, with dozens injured, and over eighty arrests made.

"I want to assure the citizens of San Francisco that the San Francisco Police Department is capable of protecting public safety, so they can rest easy.

"As for today\'s incident, we will continue to investigate thoroughly. All those involved will be arrested and brought to justice."

Reporter asked: "Chief Brown, what do you think about HD Security?"

Chief Brown: "HD Security is excellent, responding quickly and with strong combat capabilities. They are a crucial supplement to San Francisco\'s police force and an indispensable part of maintaining city safety."

The next day,

Various newspapers published headlines about the \'San Francisco Gang War.\' Resourceful reporters had already pieced together the situation, especially with so many surviving members of the Selton family.

The New York Times:

"The San Francisco Mafia Selton family experienced internal strife, with family head Leib Selton fleeing under FBI pursuit. The second in command, Trotto, attempted to seize control, leading to a conflict with Selton\'s men, resulting in over a hundred casualties.

"The San Francisco police deployed a large force to control the scene and arrested many Selton family members. The Selton family is now effectively paralyzed."
