The Wolf of Los Angeles

[Chapter 184: The Dump Truck Preparation]

In the office, Hawke flipped through the materials that Brian had brought.

The four-member team, led by Grant, all hailed from California's Governor Gray Davis's alma mater, the University of California, Berkeley. They had joined the scientific and innovation research club founded by Davis during their time at school.

Brian remarked, "The Bell Strategic Consulting Firm they belong to was founded by Davis's college classmates. They've been collaborating with him since his first election, and this time they came to Los Angeles primarily targeting me..."

Realizing they had initially targeted Hawke, Brian hastily added, "Oh, and you, too -- you're the primary target."

Hawke pulled out the photos of the four from the file and laid them on the whiteboard. "Based on the situations involving Hailey Field and Bella Sain, they're really into causing trouble. Wanting to take me out directly is not much different from wanting my head."

Brian's greatest concern was this: "Now that they've already targeted you, will I be next?"

Hawke wanted Brian to feel the danger. "If they get nothing out of me and raise my vigilance, the next target will definitely be you. According to the intel you obtained, their visit is not just about retribution for the Wagenen incident; their main goal is to assist the current mayor of Covina in his reelection."

Upon hearing this, Brian realized he was quite important, a core part of the operation. "Without me, the current mayor, Owen Nester, would have no competitor."
