The mention of the Saint Tony Organization wasn't news to Locke; it was one of Tijuana's largest drug trafficking organizations, boasting thousands of members, far surpassing Parcia.
Word had it that Saint Tony controlled an underground tunnel along the US-Mexico border and even submarines, making them one of the major suppliers of drugs to the United States.
Their influence extended to Los Angeles, where they were a prime target for the DEA.
Locke, puzzled, asked, "Why would Saint Tony go to war with the Meno Dei?"
Avadia, struggling to articulate, finally made himself clear after much effort.
In essence, after the DEA cleared Meno Dei's stronghold in Los Angeles, the newly risen Meno Dei became a laughingstock in Tijuana, prompting them to threaten sending gunmen to Los Angeles to retaliate against the DEA.
However, this threat angered many, violating an unwritten rule among drug dealers. So, Saint Tony took action to eliminate them to prevent any disruption to everyone's business.
Damn, Meno Dei was really planning to send people to Los Angeles for retaliation.
These idiots were just insane, but luckily, they're all dead now.
Indeed, every industry has its rules.
Otherwise, the big shots in the industry will teach them a lesson.
Just thinking about it, one can guess that if Meno Dei really retaliated against the LAPD or the DEA in Los Angeles, the drug dealers in Tijuana would face the wrath of the DEA and LAPD. All their drug routes would be severely impacted, resulting in losses in the billions.
Those who don't follow the rules will end up with no place to hide.
Knowing that Meno Dei is no more, Locke straightened up, feeling relieved. Seeing Avadia's eyes closed and him beginning to convulse, breathing out more than breathing in, he knew it was almost over for him.
For a drug dealer like Avadia, who had no idea how many lives he had taken, Locke had never intended to let him live from the beginning.
Locke was about to check the safe when suddenly, he squatted down again and asked, "Avadia, do you have anything else to tell Jose?"
Avadia suddenly opened his eyes wide and said fluently, "There's a USB under the guest room bed with a video of Camilo, the congressman's son, killing prostitutes. I helped dispose of the bodies. The gang can use this video to blackmail Camilo. Give the USB to Jose and don't hurt my family..."
He wanted to reach out and grab Locke, but his hand remained motionless.
Locke's expression finally couldn't maintain its composure. Damn, he didn't expect this guy not only to be involved with the DEA but also with a congressman.
He knew Avadia was on his last legs, so he replied, "Don't worry, your family will be fine..."
Locke found the USB under the guest room bed, feeling somewhat gloomy. Although he didn't know who Congressman Camilo was yet, he was well aware of the power of a Los Angeles congressman.
He put away the USB and went to the master bedroom to observe the safe. It wasn't sophisticated, and he didn't bother to think too much. He simply used the password provided by Avadia to open it.
The contents inside were exactly as Avadia had said: besides dozens of stacks of dollars, there were also several bags of flour, three pistols, a disassembled automatic rifle, some spare magazines and bullets, and a few gold watches and jewelry.
Locke quickly made a decision. Despite the allure of the contents in the safe, whether it was money or jewelry, or even the three custom-made pistols, none of it could be touched.
Touching any of it would expose his existence.
Although Locke was confident that ordinary people couldn't trace him, there was always a risk of exposure if someone investigated.
This risk wasn't worth taking, and he was never a greedy person.
Now that the Meno Dei organization was gone, he didn't need to continue investigating other Mexican gangs for the time being. The Cleaner didn't need to show up for a short while.
He originally planned to make Avadia's death look like a gang feud, but he didn't expect Avadia to be involved with the DEA and a congressman. He had to change his plan.
Locke erased all traces of his presence tonight and made Avadia's death look like an accident.
He returned to the living room, scanned the surroundings, and walked straight to a cabinet. Opening the drawer, he immediately saw the flour divided into small packets.
Avadia was a drug addict, so this was the best way for him to die.
Drug traffickers, who harm people with drugs, deserve to die from drugs. This is the best ending for drug traffickers.
Locke took out a packet of flour and poured it on the coffee table. This was where Avadia usually ate. He then returned to the bathroom, dragged Avadia, who was still faintly breathing, to the living room, and placed him on the sofa.
Locke hooked Avadia's neck, bringing his face close to the table, and covered his nose and mouth with his hand. When he couldn't bear it any longer, he released his nose, and the flour on the table disappeared instantly.
He repeated this three times, and Avadia gradually fell silent. Locke stood beside Avadia's body, his expression unchanged. He calmly changed his gloves and waited for a while. As expected, the panel appeared.

Locke originally planned to deal with this reward after leaving, but after looking at the panel three times, he was dumbfounded.
Apart from increasing by 700 Justice Value, the system didn't give any other rewards this time. However, 700 Justice Value was enough to prove that Avadia was a scumbag of sin.
After calming down, Locke realized that not everyone could receive an Experience Card as a reward. Only those who were exceptionally talented or outstanding in some way could receive one.
Obviously, Avadia belonged to the category of mediocrity without talent or skill.
Damn, even those two Meno Dei cargo drivers were better than him.
Locke sighed disappointedly and looked disdainfully at the corpse on the sofa. Waste!
Justice Value had reached 1250. What was the use of this thing?
As Locke thought about it, the panel suddenly changed.
Justice Value became 250 (-1000), and the Attribute Points became 1.
What the hell!
So, Justice Value could be exchanged for attributes!
