All Chapters of Rick's Dilemma: Chapter 311 - Chapter 320

The success of the SUV that Old Wilson had designed for the general was such that Rick had authorized a fleet of twenty more to be ordered. This fleet was for the RBG Security team's use. They were just as rugged as the one belonging to the General, but not as luxurious inside. The general had a humidor, wet bar, premium sound and video system, massaging and heated seats as well and genuine leather upholstery . The fleet was build to the same exterior standards as the general's, bullet proof glass, amoured body all around, machine guns hidden behind the front grill and in the rear bumper. They even had a small rocket laucher secreted in the roof. Needless to say, they were about three times heavier than a normal vehicle, but well worth the extra protection. A passsanger would not even feel more than a slight bump if a genade or landmine went off under the SUV. Therefore, it was these SUVs that took the group to the courthouse on the morning the trial was to begin. The theme of this

The group spent a pleasant evening together on the lido deck, and dinner was superb. Even Matthew commented on how good it was. Lois was in seventh heaven. She had never experienced such luxury. But she knew that it was only temperary. She did not obsess about it. But she did enjoy it to the fullest. The biggest change that both Debbie and Rick saw in her, was the way she treated the staff. She did not bark orders at them, but treated them with kindness and respect, always saying "Please" and "Thank You". If anything could change their minds about her, this surely did. The next morning, everyone woke up and gathered once again on the lido deck for breakfast. The first thing that they noticed was that the boat had stopped moving. Then they all realised that they were docked at a pier, in New Taipei City. Old Wilson said " The city is divided into two sections. Taipei City is on the north east, and New Taipei City is to the south west. It is divided by the Tamsui River. I chose this

After returning to Fing City, Matthew got started on his task assigned to him by Rick. He combed through all of the security reports supplied by the general of incidents connected to the various offices that ,in the end, all had a common theme. In almost every case, the problems were caused by local competitors and/or their associates. Everything from slander, to harrassment was in evidence. Then Matthew discovered something that stunned him to his core. All of the local competitors had one other thing in common, they all were part of world wide comglomerates. Without execption, either their parent company, or the families involved were directly linked to a bigger group. This was big. Very big! This gave Matthew a difterent avenue of search. His thinking now was that the problems that RBG Group were having was a conspiracy aimed at subduing RBG Group world wide. As one of the largest comglomerates in the world, Matthew knew that they would have enemies, but all that had happened wa

Rodger arrived at the villa with just two body guards. He did not want to intimidate, just impress. As he got out of the car, Li Fan opened the door to greet him. He asked Mr. Yates guards to remain outside. Rodger signaled them to obey. Then Li Fan led Rodger into the living room, where Matthew was waiting for him. Matthew stood up and said "Welcome to my home, Mr. Yates! I'm so honored to meet you." With that, he stuck out his hand to shake. Rodger replied "Oh,no! It's my pleasure to meet you!" As they shook hands, Rodger was looking around the opulent room. He commented "This is such a lovely home! Such luxury! I'm quite jealous." Matthew said "Oh don't be. I find that if you want people to respect you, you have to give them something to respect. My home is my ticket into their world. The rich only respect money, or at least the display of what it can do." Rodger said "I know what you mean. If one doesn't have money in this world, he is a nobody. I find that having t

As Old Wilson looked through the stack of documents that Rick had sortd out, he saw the same pattern. It was more than just a few, and mostly pertained to commerical properties. Everything from office buildings, to high rise apartments. And not just in one part of the world. Some of these properties were in China, but most were in the US or Australia. Even in Africa and South America. This set Old Wilson's mind to turning. He wanted to know who else would figure prominantly in these papers. Perhaps it would give them a clue as to who else was involved in the conspiracy to bring trouble to the RBG Group. So they went through all of the papers again, and looked for other similarities. Three names where found to be of interest. One was Bert Gowen, and the other two were Eric Porter and Jack Collins. The latter two must be business partners, as their names were almost always on the same documents as either the sellers, or the principle's representatives. Old Wilson made some de
