In a Rehabilitation Center under the FBI's name in Los Angeles.
Vince, whose limbs were already bound in plaster, ignored the several FBI Agents standing by his hospital bed with a grim expression.
Instead, he glared furiously at a person being supported by them, but remained silent.
The one being glared at by Vince was Slant, whose arm and leg were likewise in plaster.
"Vince, I-I wouldn't harm you."
"I didn't want to betray Dominic either, but he suddenly took his girlfriend and sister and ran off."
"He doesn't care whether we live or die at all!"
"Yes, before he fled, he found someone to quietly tell us that we should escape quickly too."
"But in the state we're in now, how are we supposed to escape?"
"You don't know, do you?"
"I heard Mia is dating that Asian Kid who beat us up!"
"Even for this smuggling job, Dominic disregarded our years of brotherhood."
"He actually took a large chunk out of our share and gave it to that kid."
"Isn't he just an ordinary mechanic with no parents?"
"Why does that Asian Kid deserve such a large sum of money?"
"What's even more infuriating is that Dominic actually kept it from us."
"He only told Jesse and the others about giving the kid money."
Slant felt a bit guilty, but he still complained to Vince with a face full of indignation.
A few days ago, after Dominic suddenly transferred a sum of money to each of these brothers,
he also found someone to cryptically tell them that they were already being watched by the FBI.
Therefore, they had to flee Los Angeles as soon as possible.
It was best to get a fake identity and stay somewhere else for a while, then consider returning after the heat died down.
Unfortunately!
The time was too tight!
Vince and the others had previously had a conflict with Hunter, and almost all of them were hospitalized with injuries.
Vince was the most pitiful one, with over a dozen bone fissures and fractures on his body.
If Dominic hadn't suppressed it, his family would have called the police long ago.
Slant and the others weren't much better off; all of them had a leg and an arm broken.
Therefore, after receiving Dominic's warning, they, who were hospitalized and recovering, couldn't run even if they wanted to.
What's more!
The FBI's reaction speed was even faster than Dominic had anticipated.
Almost within a day after Dominic's side received the payment for the goods from Boston and planned their escape,
the FBI had already found Vince, Slant, and the others.
They hoped that these members of Dominic's team, who were unable to flee due to their injuries, would step forward to testify against Dominic.
After all, up to now, although the FBI had obtained many clues pointing to Dominic and his crew being the ones who, over the past few years,
had repeatedly hijacked those large trucks on multiple California highways and stolen electronic products worth over a hundred million us dollars,
the FBI did not yet possess the key evidence.
Especially more than half a month ago, the FBI collaborated with the Los Angeles Police Department.
They took the opportunity when Dominic and the others participated in an underground car race to successfully arrest them.
However, it must have been that operation
that made Dominic and his crew realize they were being watched.
Although the FBI took the opportunity to install many Bugs and monitoring devices at the residence of Dominic, the suspected operation planner,
they didn't obtain much useful information in the time that followed.
As a result, while the FBI was still continuously monitoring Dominic and the others,
just one day a few days ago, Dominic, his sister Mia, and his girlfriend Letty suddenly vanished completely after going out separately.
Shortly after, Jesse and several other subordinates of Dominic disappeared as well.
Afterward, the FBI also noticed the problem.
The FBI immediately issued a warrant for Dominic and the others, but it was already too late.
No one knew where Dominic and his crew had fled!
The credit for the arrest that was practically in their hands was about to slip away.
How could the FBI accept that!
They quickly targeted those among Dominic's former subordinates who hadn't managed to escape yet.
And so, Vince, Slant, and several others, who had been hospitalized due to injuries more than two months ago,
entered the FBI's sight just like that!
When the FBI found Vince and hoped he would step forward to testify against Dominic and the others, he chose to respond with silence.
Although he had some dissatisfaction with Dominic because of Hunter's matter,
Vince and Dominic were, after all, brothers who had grown up together since childhood.
He didn't want to, nor was he prepared to, betray Dominic.
Moreover, Vince knew that once he testified against Dominic, it would confirm their past crimes.
---Please give flowers--- Even if he only participated in those robberies, in the end, even if Vince acted as a state's witness to get some sentence reduction,
his own end would definitely not be much better.
In comparison, Slant had known Dominic for a shorter time.
His relationship with Dominic was relatively more distant compared to these brothers.
Furthermore, Slant had a wife and children.
Not to mention that not long ago, he had one leg and one arm broken because of Hunter.
Therefore, although Vince was angry that Slant wanted to sell out Dominic,
in his heart, he could actually understand Slant; he just couldn't accept it for the time being.
Slant understood Vince!
...He knew Vince had liked Mia for many years and had long since regarded her as his woman.
Now, an Asian Kid had popped up from out of nowhere.
And he was a mechanic, yet he had actually stolen Mia away.
What Vince found even more unbearable was that his strong and sturdy self had actually lost to that seemingly skinny Asian Youth.
He had even been beaten to the point of multiple fractures and bone cracks, forcing him to be hospitalized for several months.
Sure enough, after listening to Vince's words,
especially after those last few complaints, the anger toward Slant on Vince's face and in his eyes
quickly transformed into anger toward Dominic and resentment toward Hunter.
His face constantly darkened and shifted.
The nearby FBI Agents also keenly noticed this.
After exchanging glances, one of them suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Vince, as long as you can provide enough evidence to prove that Dominic and that Asian Kid named Hunter Sun are guilty,"
"we can not only help you apply for probation but even pin some of your charges onto that Asian Kid."
"I hope you'll give it some serious thought!"
After he finished speaking, they saw Vince's throat couldn't help but swallow several times.
After a long time, the group finally saw a trace of malice flash through Vince's eyes.
"Fine, I agree."
"But you must guarantee that you'll screw that Asian Kid over completely."
