A born con artist, no scheme was too underhanded for Wu Huahai during his days as a criminal mastermind, and exploitation of others was a byword for opportunity. However, his illicit Feng Shui Pharmacy operation was a fatal overstep, imperiling the health of Balam's economic sphere and leading to widespread disease.\\
It was Nile, now the deputy commander of the Redguns, who ultimately shut Wu Huahai down.''

Next thing I know, I'm on [[HellholePrison Rikers Island]]. You ever been there, man? Well, suddenly they take me from my cell, okay, they throw me in a waiting room with, like, bank teller windows: four army colonels with medals up their asses are standing on the other side. They say to me, if I come to Vietnam for two years - no action, mind you, just work in a lab - they'll drop all the charges and wipe the record clean.
