Chapter 152 - Crime Syndicate 7

A redevelopment project would often be a promise of improving the state of such an area through rebuilding everything and turning it into something greater.

It would often be done to breathe a breath of fresh air into that community and to remove a lot of what would be bringing it down so much.

They could build new communities that way, or they could choose to go another route by turning into another type of popular destination that could be used for the sake of commercial value or something similar.

A shopping mall or a shopping area would usually be what could be built in the place of such a big place after being able to move so many people out of it.

It could just as easily be turned into something just as valuable to a city, like a sports stadium or something similar that would likely draw a lot of money to the city.

What mattered most of all was that there was profit in it.

All of the damage could be done, and those responsible for all of it would be long gone before everything began.

Everyone involved would likely end up reaping all of the benefits.

Those who were affected by everything and left behind would be left with nothing, and their lives would be ruined.

Most of them would be without a home after losing it while being left in a state where they were likely to be dependent on the drugs they had gotten used to taking for so long.

Instead of cleaning up the streets of the gangs, it would end up turning into something else entirely, as the targets of the purge would likely be the people who were out on the streets or were caught illegally squatting in one of the unoccupied buildings that were set to be demolished.

When it was for the sake of profit and tidying up the overall image of such a location to ready it for development, there would be people to suffer as a result of it.

When involving criminals in such a plan, there were usually going to be a lot of things done that would likely be covered up, and there would be things that would involve a lot of greed or illegal business.

Either it involved some form of corrupt officials or businessmen, or it had something to do with something much darker and sinister.

Tiffany did not know what she had gotten herself into, but the actions she had taken so far had caused their operations to be interrupted, even if slightly.

What was worse for them was that they had taken a Trojan horse right into one of their hideouts, where they operated from.

From their being so careless, they had practically invited her to dig up more on them that could be used against them in the future.

She may have suffered a loss against them in the present, but it was worth the loss as it would end up being a good investment for the future.

She could gain back her losses with ease due to the many ways that she could earn the funds needed to build a new puppet.

The current events were just one thing she was involved in as she had spread her network far and wide.

Her range of control had extended to all kinds of places within the city and outside of it, to various parts of England.

Some had even reached as far as Scotland, Wales and Ireland, which had been good progress for her.

Her range of influence had spread within the range of those areas, but going further abroad had been quite difficult.

That was why she had been trying to set up ways that she could begin with that kind of expansion, so that she could start up in more English-speaking countries.

One of her ways of spreading her influence further was through the distribution of toys and figurines, along with other hero merchandise that was related to a big foreign deal.

She had been making every effort to support that deal so that it would be given to someone who would work with her and whom she trusted with such a big business venture.

Tiffany would get a cut of the profits as a silent board member with a large amount of shares in the company, and she would be able to gain access to the factories that would be responsible for the manufacturing of everything.

While there would be some that would be sold around the United Kingdom, a lot of the others would end up being transported to other countries.

Even if she did not want to have her eyes and ears in other countries beyond what she had intended, it was still to her benefit in the future.

All that she needed was a select few countries that were of much greater importance to her.

If that could be achieved, then it would not matter how some other toys and figurines would end up being useless due to the language barriers in those countries.

There had been more than one thing going on as she switched between one life and the next.

If she was not attending school, then she was running around as an underworld broker, dealing information and setting up meetings with her clients or arranging something else.
