Captain Amanda vetted the available ships that can be used for the smuggling , the routes they are taking and the cargo that they are usually hauling to port then she greased the hands of her superiors for them to turn a blind eye to what is happening. Erwin at the meantime was canvasing the items he had in the system, looking at the available products he could smuggle to the mainland of Fargo the biggest main land in the area and the biggest consumer of illegal products. Erwin didn't want to ship anything to the archipelago of Loi or the island chain of Nexus as they were on bad terms with the Golden Isle government and many ships were subjected to constant customs.
Erwin decided that the contraband that the will smuggle are weapons and drugs, since the mainland consumed all and everything he will not be discovered and may even have repeat costumers. He decided he will pay the captains of the ship to make local contact with the local forces of the mainlands underworld and have them introduce his man so they can distribute his products.
Looking closely at his products Erwin decided to take out the G3-500 a semi automatic pistol that holds fifteen rounds and that has a subsonic firing silencer that can propel rounds quietly in milliseconds. He also took out the 77-Mac a automatic sub machine gun that can hold forty rounds , also with a subsonic firing silencer. Both weapons were good , quiet , portable and not loud and can easily pass through customs as they are made of synthetic high gravity compound.
The weapons are maybe with layered compound that can confused detectors, Erwin also took out two substance that are perfect for the mainland the Winter drift and the White Castle.
*Winters drift (0900) - A stem of a carnivorous plants that grounded up and mixed with two chemical digestible alloy (673) and (1125) that is then dried and cooked in a portable flask in a boiling temperature and as it dry it releases fumes that are caught in a absorbent materials then scraped giving it the snow like texture.
*White castle (333) - A white chemical charcoal made from chemically altered pine frost (801) that is processed in alternating cycles of burning carbonation degree three times then a necro stimulants are added (441), (3352),(1992). The tree stimulants will create a bond crystallizing the charcoal into a hard crystal like product.
Erwin decided that he will process two thousand G3-500, one thousand 77-Mac and one ton of WInters drift and White castle each should do it. He then waited for Captain Elizabeth call and when he got the go ahead he prepared the sample.
Thinking that he needed someone of the mainland to receive his product he seven individuals that would go with the captain, the six individuals were guards but the seventh is special. The man name is Viktor, who specialize in business and finance.
Days later after everything was ready unmarked vehicles showed up and loaded Erwin's items into vehicles , Erwin then gave Victor instructions the best he can before Viktor and his group departed. Erwin watched the vehicle leave and though it now a waiting game.
On the port of Guine a ship is dock the "Casa Orion" , Captain Kolban waited for the new cargo that was not in the manifest but he was instructed by the owner of the company that the cargo that is coming must be shipped at all cause discreetly. Captain Kolban understood that this cargo was entails but he was not worried , he was acually happy. It just meant him and the crew will have a big pay day coming when they land into mainland.
The mainland they were going to was the land of Vivada, it was a bustling nation that imports eighty percent of their goods from abroad. They consumed nearly everything , the land was rich and fruitful. The island nation usually and if possibly smuggled goods from the land of Vivada to their nation since that land was a first class country their goods are very much in high demand.
The goods are smuggled because the island nation didn't want to pay taxes for the goods that they receive and also they can smuggle the goods towards other island nation for a higher price.
The land of Vivada has a long and colorful history and people, the people vibrant like to have a good time, maybe to much since many of their goods that the people use are illegal so they are smuggled from all over the place.
Three weeks later the Casa Orion docked in the mainland city of Bulwa, after a short voyage Captain Kolban took a deep breath as they were lucky that the regular customs didn't stop them. Going down a deck he saw the man called Viktor. The man looked educated with a black suit and straight black hair. Captain Kolban instructed to wait until everything was clear , maybe at night they can move but before he can leave the man named Viktor took out a small bundle of deni.
"You have contacts here for distribution?"
Victor was given eight hundred thousand deni to network and start operations by Erwin, explaining to him find a suitable source they could and distribute the products. If its a success, Erwin will send a shipment every month. Erwin also instructed Victor that he needed to gather his own manpower for the moment and to also lay low.
Captain Kolban took and counted the money, Fifteen thousand deni.
"What do you have in mind?"
"Just local that can swallow up the product, you seen how much we have right?", "We also need a place to lay low"
Captain Kolban thought for a moment and told Viktor he'll make a call , get them a place to lay low and introduce them to a local force. He has been doing this for awhile so he knew that someone he knew would probably know the local forces in Bulwa.
When night time arrived custom relaxed the security, and those hands that needed to be greased. Some transport arrived and began to load the cargo into them. Viktor shook hands with Captain Kolban.
"The cargo will be dropped in a warehouse inside the city, the man has been paid already marking the cargo as imports".
"You will be staying in a rental house near the warehouse, get a phone and when you're ready call this number"
Captain Kolban handed Viktor a small sheet of paper with a number on it.
"Password is breaker beak okay"
Vicktor nodded and the two shook hands before separating , Viktor headed to a vehicle that was waiting for him and his men and they boarded and headed to a store that sold phones and got one. Arriving in the rental house they checked the place out before moving in, the house was paid a month in advance by the captain. Victor waited a few days before dialing the number that Captain Kolban has given him.
A rough voice answered the call and said some random things that Viktor couldn't make sense off but he still answered it with the password that Captain Kolden has given him.
"Wait a moment" There was quiet in the line before another voice answered and this time it was an older gentlemen.
"What can I do for you" The older man asked in a timely manner, neither slow or fast.
"Interview at warehouse forty three" Viktor just answered casually
"Fine tomorrow at 11pm"
The call was then hung up, Viktor then went to the warehouse and asked the attendee of the warehouse to open it for them.
Viktor checked the goods and seeing that the goods were still there took out the samples of the product and readied it for the following day.
The following day Viktor arrived an hour early at the warehouse looked at the prepped materials and re-checked them again, when 11pm was close by two small cars arrived carrying five passengers. They all looked tall and stalk, the group then set a perimeter and a single man walked towards Victor.
"The goods?"
Victor handed him a medium overlapping bag that seems inconspicuous , the man took the bag and headed bag to the car. When the man entered the car then his people went back to the car and then they drove off.
Victor knew its now a waiting game, he just handed them samples of the product for them to check out but hey knew they will call.
Three days later Viktor got a call from an unknown number, He answered it.
"How much" The voice on the other end was the same quiet and slow paced voice.
"All of them" Viktor gave a prompt question
"Yes"
Viktor quickly calculated and answered " thirty million, agreed?"
The voice was quiet for a quick second before answering "Agreed"
The following day Viktor waited with his men at warehouse 43 early as the cars and cargo trucks arrived to haul the supplies that Viktor and the man agreed on. When everything was loaded , Viktor was given a address.
The men left and Viktor soon followed with his men but going on another direction, arriving at the address Viktor knocked. A young woman with a scar on her face came out "Yes?"
Vicktor handed the woman the small note with her address on it, the woman looked at the note the at Viktor.
"It's in the back, you and your men can go there and count it if needed"
Viktor nodded and he and his men went to the back of the house where two men waited and opened the door where a man was waiting for them.
The man pointed at the large satchel bags "You can count them"
They counted the money and then immediately left the house and headed back to the rental house and calling Erwin and reporting to him the good news.
Erwin took a breath and gave the following instructions that they should find a bigger house and hide the stock the money while the other half will be taken to a financier where he could invest the account before transferring it to Victor name. The accountant and Financier would invest in stocks and laundering it through business that he will buy from those stocks turning it into clean money and once clean he will buy business with them to launder the rest of the money then repeat it again .
Erwin also instructed Viktor to get intelligence on what goods are available that can be ship back to the golden Isle.
He then hanged up the phone after giving Viktor instructions and called Captain Elizabeth , telling her it was a success. The money though would yet to be processed, Erwin decided to cut Elizabeth and her friend from (MOC) a partial cut so they could open up another appointment for him to smuggle his goods.
Captain Elizabeth agreed that she will talk to her former colleague again at the (MOC) and will try to make the monthly distribution overseas permanent.
Erwin knew it will talked some time to manage the new business as it will take some more networking, he will move up the ladder once he had enough influence and power. To him now days money can come easy but safety is hard to come by, he now always remind himself of how life functions in this new world.
