Adam leaned forward slightly.
"I have an oil well," he said.
"I want to shake the entire market with that oil well."
"But if I want to shake the entire market then I cannot do this under the supervision of the government."
Kevin remained silent. He just waited. He let Adam finish his talk.
Adam continued. "Whatever money I get from the oil well both officially and unofficially I want you to send it through shell companies."
His voice was low and intense.
"Not only in this country. Not just in Viper City."
"I want you to send it to our neighboring country."
"And even into the Empire."
"I want you to penetrate there and send it there too."
At the mention of the Empire Kevin's eyes immediately looked up. A flicker of something crossed his face. Shock. Fear. Greed. It was gone in an instant.
He leaned forward.
He asked a very important question.
"How much money are you talking about?"
Adam smiled.
"Billions," he said.
"Not millions. Billions of dollars."
