Chapter 137: The National Defense Force

So, he planned to take care of these matters before making any further decisions. Joseph knew that when the New York Defense Force learned about this, they would be very pleased. After leaving the Kerry family, Joseph headed to Depp's residence. Depp had already gone to bed, but upon hearing that Joseph was visiting, he eagerly came running. "Joseph, have you finally made up your mind?!" Seeing Depp act like a sycophant, Joseph couldn't help but curl his lips into a sarcastic smile. "You’re as enthusiastic as ever, but this time, I won't be fooled by you New Yorkers again!" "Huh?!" Seeing Joseph’s sudden cold expression, Depp couldn’t help but feel a sense of foreboding. Could Joseph have found out something? But he couldn’t be sure, thinking Joseph might just be testing him! No, he had to stay calm. Otherwise, everything would be ruined! Depp's face turned very grim. "I know you were bullied by people from the New York Bureau six years ago, but things are different now." "As you can see, my position shows that I am not an ordinary person." "So, Mr. Joseph, please give us a chance to redeem ourselves!" Joseph did give them a way out, and he calmly sat beside them. "The reason I came today is that I want to collaborate with you." "I can put the past behind us, but I need to see if you are genuine people." Hearing this, Depp sighed with relief. Seeing Joseph’s improved attitude, Depp immediately nodded and said. "Mr. Joseph, don’t worry! We genuinely want to work with you. Just tell us what you need, and I will do my utmost to help." "No, that's not necessary." Joseph waved his hand. "I’m not just here to get you to do something for me." "I also want to see if you are a bunch of ingrates!" "Don’t let me down." Joseph’s words left Depp dumbfounded. His gaze was blank, and he didn’t immediately understand what Joseph meant. He didn't want me to do something for him? "Mr. Joseph, are you serious?!" Joseph narrowed his eyes. "Have I ever lied to you?" With that, Depp immediately shook his head. "Of course, I believe Mr. Joseph would not lie to me, but, Mr. Joseph, you said you want us to help you with something, what can we do?" "Heh." Joseph chuckled twice. "You should know my relationship with the Kerry family, right?" Hearing this, Depp's eyes widened even more. "You mean Kerry I?" "Yes! Him!" Depp thought to himself whether he should or shouldn’t know about this relationship? He looked at Joseph and slowly spoke. "I know." Joseph continued. "I have a vendetta against their family, and the reason I came here today is to inform you that I plan to kill their entire family soon, leaving the Kerry family without a foothold in New York." "I’m telling you this in advance to avoid putting you in a difficult position." Joseph unexpectedly came to inform him beforehand! Depp felt incredibly lucky! He nodded, knowing all of this already. Joseph was telling him these things because he felt surrounded. On one hand, the Paradise organization was targeting him everywhere. And he was being hunted by that assassin organization. The most important thing is, all his subordinates had returned overseas, leaving him shorthanded. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even consider Depp and his people. At this moment, Depp looked at Joseph, his face filled with gratitude. "I know everything you said! I can help!" Joseph raised an eyebrow. "Good, now go contact those people and get them back as soon as possible!" Hearing Joseph’s words, Depp was momentarily stunned but then nodded, indicating he understood. Joseph was no fool. He knew that he didn’t have many people on his side, so he needed to find more allies. Right now, his only choice was to enlist Depp’s help! Their strength was relatively formidable. "I hope you won’t pull any tricks before my plan ends, and I hope you abide by the terms we previously agreed upon." Joseph warned them. He didn’t want any complications. "Mr. Joseph, rest assured, I will do exactly as you say!" "As for anything illegal, I won’t do it!" Joseph’s gaze swept over Depp. "I can guarantee that if anyone dares to break the law, don’t blame me for being ruthless!" Depp's eyes flickered, but he ultimately nodded firmly. Seeing Depp agree, Joseph stood up. "I’m leaving now. I hope you have everything ready the next time we meet!" Unexpectedly, Depp suddenly said something. "But, Mr. Joseph, it’s not that simple. The Kerry family does things cleanly, and it's hard to find real evidence of their crimes right now." "If we could, we would have acted against them long ago. It’s just that these matters can’t be done immediately." Hearing this, Joseph nodded. "I know it’s not just this. You must also be wary of the family backing them, right?" Joseph even knew about this. Depp nodded. "Yes, and it’s not just their backing family. You know, if we accidentally encounter them without enough evidence, it’s like alerting the enemy!" Depp had long wanted to eliminate the Kerry family, feeling that they had no place in this world. But… If they really acted, the backing family’s retaliation would be a disaster for all of New York! "I feared disrupting New York’s balance, so I didn’t act. I’m really… sorry." "However, if you, Reaper, join our New York Defense Force, I can fully support you!"
