Late at night, Hunter stood perched in a tree by the roadside.
Through the gaps in the leaves, he could vaguely see about ten ters away.
There stood an old-style villa, built during the Cold War era, with a history of forty or fifty years.
That was Stansfield's residence!
Located in an ordinary residential area in the old district of Los Angeles.
Stansfield's house looked unremarkable, except for being slightly larger than the surrounding villas.
Including the garden, it occupied nearly 500 square ters.
And unlike most new constructions in LA, it was built of brick and concrete rather than wood.
Other than that, there was nothing suspicious about it.
But Hunter had been investigating for a few days.
He was almost certain of one thing: Stansfield only used this one property.
After all, in the plot of Léon: The Professional...
Stansfield, the corrupt DEA agent, was not only cunning and treacherous but also engaged in "black-on-black" (criminal on criminal) drug theft.
Using his identity as a senior DEA agent, he trafficked drugs and beca a veritable drug lord.
However, the DEA was both his shield and his shackle.
His status as a senior agent ant he was subject to periodic investigations and inquiries by relevant US agencies.
To cover up his cris, he had to disguise himself ticulously.
Therefore, Hunter felt there must be sothing wrong with Stansfield's residence.
The dirty money Stansfield had made over the years from robbing criminals and trafficking drugs couldn't see the light of day.
It was highly likely either stored in a Swiss bank (which protected client confidentiality)...
Or hidden right under Stansfield's nose.
And this old brick villa was very suspicious.
"I need to find a way to get inside and take a look!"
Stansfield wasn't ho right now, but Hunter didn't rashly break in.
He still needed Stansfield to divert the FBI's attention.
He worried that if he broke in now and triggered so security asures, alerting Stansfield...
Then Stansfield wouldn't proceed with Hunter's plan to clear out the FBI agents watching his apartnt.
If that happened, getting rid of the FBI would take much more ti and effort.
Hunter naturally wanted to resolve the FBI problem as quickly as possible.
So, today he was just scouting.
Once Hunter's plan succeeded, the best-case scenario for Stansfield was being targeted and investigated by the FBI.
Even if Stansfield managed to dodge that, Hunter would personally assassinate him.
Having tasted the sweetness of obtaining $30-40 million from Steve...
Hunter already had his eyes on this corrupt cop/drug lord's fortune.
When the ti ca, Hunter planned to return.
Once Stansfield was in trouble, Hunter would imdiately infiltrate his ho.
To see if he could find the black money Stansfield had earned over the last decade.
Finding it would be best!
Even if he didn't, Hunter wouldn't be too disappointed.
After all, his primary goal was to eliminate the FBI threat.
Having loitered outside all day and finally shaken off the FBI tail...
Hunter had followed his investigation leads and located Stansfield's ho.
After waiting for a while, Stansfield still hadn't returned.
Hunter had a vague feeling that the guy had taken the bait.
His plan was actually very simple.
To put it bluntly: Divert the trouble to the east (Shift the bla).
Before leaving this morning, Hunter had quickly slipped the prepared note into Mathilda's ho.
Her father, Michael, was a greedy piece of low-life scum.
Though it wasn't clear if Michael was a gang mber or just a common thug...
He was obviously a very greedy bastard.
Hunter deliberately withheld information and misled Michael into thinking the FBI agents monitoring Hunter...
Were actually targeting him (Michael) after hearing rumors about the drugs.
Michael was a greedy villain by nature. In the Léon plot...
If he hadn't been insatiably greedy and embezzled part of the drugs Stansfield hid at his place...
Stansfield wouldn't have flown into a rage, gotten high, gone crazy, and shot Michael's entire family.
Only the female lead, the little lolita Mathilda, was smart enough to spot the danger.
She ran desperately to her neighbor—Léon the Hitman—for help.
And finally escaped death.
Hunter estimated that after delivering the note...
Michael, who was already struggling with the temptation to steal Stansfield's drugs, would likely take action.
Once Michael notified Stansfield... that corrupt senior DEA agent...
Who robbed criminals and trafficked drugs on the side...
Would know very well that even in the US...
What he had done was enough to put him in prison for over a hundred years.
US sentences could theoretically be limitless.
Stansfield, as a senior agent committing such cris, would face a minimum of a century behind bars.
To avoid rotting in prison, even if this corrupt cop discovered that the people "investigating" him were FBI...
He would absolutely dare to strike ruthlessly and give those FBI agents a "shock of evil."
By then, it should be enough to temporarily shift the FBI's focus away from Hunter.
As for the consequences of doing this... Hunter didn't care.
He didn't care if Michael took the opportunity to steal so of Stansfield's drugs.
He didn't care about the lives of Michael and his family.
In his view, as long as he ensured the safety of Michael's wife...
Margie, the good neighbor lady who had often co over at night to "offer warmth" since Hunter moved in... that was enough.
As for the Léon heroine, Mathilda...
Since she discovered his special relationship with her stepmother and stopped showing him any closeness...
Hunter didn't care much about her either.
Whether she survived or not depended on her own luck.
He waited a while longer, until after 9 PM.
Still seeing no sign of Stansfield returning, Hunter slowly climbed down from the tree where he had been hiding for a long ti.
"Good!"
Since discovering the FBI surveillance, Hunter had been formulating a counterasure.
Over the past week, he had taken the opportunity to investigate Stansfield.
According to Hunter's investigation, Stansfield was a man of routine.
He liked music and opera, and had no obvious bad habits on the surface.
Unless there was a special operation, Stansfield would return ho to rest before 8 PM most of the ti.
Now it was nearly 9:30 PM, and the guy hadn't co back.
Hunter could basically confirm his plan had succeeded.
And in fact, things were unfolding exactly as he predicted.
At this very mont, in a high-end apartnt building in Los Angeles, a farce was playing out.
