For many years the Sheireni Mafia, formally known as the Phra Dong Triad, wreaked havoc in Caltania. Until recently Shei Ren was an anarchosyndicalist commune. Perfect for organized and unorganized crime. And where there was organization, there was efficiency, which allowed organized crime to ultimately prevail against unorganized crime. Now, Shei Ren was a nation, and it was a direct democracy. The Triad already had agents in Lha Shan influencing the Assenbly, but Shei Ren and Caltania weren't enough. The Triad had money, and power, and they wanted to broadcast their organized crime units worldwide. They had hitmen for hire. Bank robbers. Strippers and prostitutes. The Triad, although they operated out of the small and nonpowerful Communal Republic of Shei Ren, was if anything more powerful than the nation itself. They could certainly overrun Shei Ren's 'army' and torch Lha Shan if they wanted, and had influence over the Assembly.
However, this would be against their best interests. And Ho Qong, the 489 Ken Zhu of the Triad, knew this. Speaking to his top mobsters; 432 Fu Ken Zhu Zhao Dui, 428 Xiang Hap-Ki Moon, and 428 Qian Xia Gu-Kyi; Ho discussed how to expand the Triad's influence. "The Triad needs to figure a way to expand its influence, and to do that they'd need a big job." he said. Xia responded, "We may need to contact another family, perhaps collaborate with them or use them as a scapegoat, a meat shield." Ho looked pleased. He hadn't thought of this. "Heh. Let's see how that works. There aren't as many organized crime units as there were in the world today, but we could give it a shot. Make it happen. Mess this up, and I'll shoot you through the head. This is damn imperative."
