"It's simple. I'm asking chief Ed to help take care of our business, just like before. Besides our traditional business, we've recently started a small venture. We've placed some game machines in bars and convenience stores," Bill explained.
"I've heard reports from my subordinates. There have been quite a few slot machines and punching machines from the Spanish gang. Was that your doing?"
"Indeed, it's just a modest little business."
"Chief Ed, if you need to divert attention, you can occasionally let the police seize a few machines to silence the journalists, but without affecting our business."
"Chief Ed takes care of us, and naturally, we won't be stingy," Bill said, slipping a bundle of money back into Ed's arms.
