Case 3: Life or Death

1

*Xiang's finger moves to pull the trigger.*

 

Roland: Wait, Xiang...

This individual... is... interesting...

You've exposed a weakness in our business.

I'll give you two choices. You either work for me. Or I let Xiang have his way with you. I'm sure you'd prefer to live.

I see value in you... and what you told Xiang is true. If you can be our new driver, I see a place for you here.

I'll give you a shot. One... Shot...

Xiang: One mistake and I'll spill your blood.

Roland: You'll be known as Qian Ren, and you can call me Roland, or Spade.

I'm surprised he didn't ask me how I was able to hijack the van... I think I'm in though. Natalie Steel, I shall find your brother.

 

You took a huge risk, but it paid off. It looks like Roland might be our best bet at finding out more about Jonathan Steel. You're doing this all for Natalie Steel... you have to be the one to find her brother... because no one else will.

 

Talk to Roland

Roland: Don't thank me yet, you have yet to prove yourself.

 

Discuss the Job

 

3

Roland: I also have another job for you in mind, if you complete this one on time and with no trouble.

 

Discuss the Job

 

4

Roland: Yes, it is typical behavior from him, it suits his rank, he's an enforcer. I, on the other hand, only resort to violence when it is necessary. I've been in the business for 15 years, and I can't unsee things I wish I could.

Roland: Yes, he will supervise you and serve as your armed guard. Our rival, the Sun Yee On, has been known to attack us.

 

Plot Against Xiang

 

Revelation

 

7

Roland: Using larger trucks increases risk. My superiors respect me because I never get caught.

 

Revelation

 

8

Roland: Yes, just like the other man. I will tell the men at the hangar that I got a new driver.

 

Revelation

 

9

Roland: Watch yourself, Qian Ren, you yourself are beginning to sound like police.

 

Revelation

 

10

I need to get a weapon of my own, but this would be suspicious. I need to remove the ammo from Xiang's gun.

 

Discuss the Job

 

11

It seems unlikely. I get the feeling that Xiang feels powerful when he hurts people... He will try to hurt me.

 

Discuss the Job

 

12

Hmm, this comes across as weak. I can't be seen as weak. This idea won't work.

 

Discuss the Job

 

13

That's a road I can't uncross, and killing Roland's enforcer seems like a bad move.

 

Discuss the Job

 

14

This means I can't get help from the police because I don't know which ones are working with the Triad and which aren't.

 

Look Around the Warehouse

 

15

If I can find out which police are corrupt, I can operate outside the law. But, I can never kill...

 

Look Around the Warehouse

 

16

It's likely not many, because Roland still takes a lot of precautions to make sure his operation isn't discovered.

 

Look Around the Warehouse

 

17

This remains a mystery... Roland seems to have a lot of leverage.

 

Look Around the Warehouse

 

18

I can see the van I drove here. There's also a group of our men standing near the fence. I didn't see them on my way in.

 

Discuss the Job

 

Leave the Warehouse

 

19

There are bags of white powder... This is getting worse by the minute.

 

Discuss the Job

 

Leave the Warehouse

 

20

This room is extremely large. Boxes are everywhere, but I don't know what is inside of the boxes... hmm, maybe weapons?

 

Discuss the Job

 

Leave the Warehouse

 

21

The basement door is locked. Maybe I should stay away from this for now.

 

Discuss the Job

 

Leave the Warehouse

 

22

There are two men guarding that door, I should probably choose a different exit.

 

Discuss the Job

 

23

I can only take the van when I need to deliver the money.

 

Discuss the Job

 

24

I don't think I can leave at all, until I've proven myself. It looks like the men are watching my every move.

 

Discuss the Job

 

25

It would come across as untrustworthy. I need to be very precise with my actions. It's life or death.

Connecting the Dots...

Soon you're scheduled to begin moving the counterfeit money from the hangar to Roland's headquarters. It should be a simple transportation, just like last time. With each passing day, you're digging up more information about the Triad. Hopefully one day, you'll find Jonathan Steel.
