Chapter 284: Chapter 284: HD Security—Guardian of Customers
After the Houston fighter jet incident, major newspapers including the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Global Times covered the event, each presenting a different angle.
**The New York Times** reported:
"HD Security, the largest security firm in the U.S., deployed fighter jets and artillery without government authorization, resulting in casualties. This raises concerns about potential legal violations and the need for restrictions to prevent excessive use of force."
**The Washington Post** observed:
"Two fighter jets swooped down, firing at the gangsters, killing several and destroying numerous vehicles. The scene resembled a battlefield. Families of the deceased are reportedly planning to sue HD Security and demand punishment for the pilots involved."
**The Los Angeles Times**, a partner of Hardy Group, highlighted:
"The 'Super Idol' talent team faced harassment from local gangsters in Houston. The gang aimed to forcibly abduct Miss Monroe, leading to a conflict where two bodyguards held off hundreds of gang members for hours. HD Security's intervention with fighter jets ultimately resolved the crisis, allowing Monroe and her team to safely continue their journey."
**The Global Times** took a more emphatic stance:
"The Haim Gang, a notorious criminal organization led by Cohenheim, was dismantled thanks to HD Security's decisive action. The gang's extensive criminal activities included murder, robbery, and human trafficking. HD Security's response, including the deployment of fighter jets and a subsequent crackdown, was crucial in ensuring the safety of their clients and neutralizing the gang."
Public opinion varied, with some viewing HD Security's actions as aggressive but necessary, while others saw it as an impressive demonstration of power.
In Houston, HD Security's elite team raided all of the Haim Gang's strongholds overnight—nightclubs, casinos, warehouses, and brothels. They arrested over 200 gang members and killed Cohenheim during a raid on a country house.
The Houston Police Department held a press conference:
"Thanks to extensive police and HD Security coordination, the Haim Gang has been dismantled. Cohenheim was killed in the operation, and 236 gang members have been arrested and will face prosecution."
It was clear that HD Security had played a central role in this operation. Hardy's elite team, well-trained and battle-hardened, proved their effectiveness. The operation not only secured HD Security's reputation but also sent a strong message to other gangs.
The news coverage varied widely. The New York Times and Washington Post were critical, but the Global Times and Los Angeles Times praised HD Security's efforts. The positive press from the Global Times emphasized HD Security's commitment to customer safety and their role in protecting the public from criminal threats.
In Miami, Hardy relaxed on his yacht, enjoying the sun as Monroe applied sunscreen. Despite the conservative swimsuits of the era, Monroe's figure was alluring, and Hardy took pleasure in the moment.
He read the Global Times' coverage of the Houston incident, noting the detailed account of HD Security's actions and the company's philosophy of protecting customer interests. Hardy smiled, pleased with the positive portrayal and the effective use of media.
The rewards for the security team and pilots had sparked enthusiasm within HD Security. Hardy recognized that establishing a tough, reliable image was crucial for the company's success. The Houston incident had demonstrated that HD Security was a formidable force, capable of tackling even the most dangerous criminal threats.
Lanster reported a surge in companies seeking HD Security's services. Hardy advised Lanster to hire more staff and increase prices, capitalizing on the company's newfound prominence.
Hardy knew that maintaining and building upon this reputation was vital. The success of the Houston operation had not only bolstered HD Security's image but also set a new standard for how the company would handle future threats.
