Organization Discription
https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| |-The Real Business is a formidable motorcycle club, a brotherhood of shrewd, money-driven individuals who thrive in the shadows. These gentlemen and their ladies value discretion above all, keeping their illicit dealings under wraps and out of casual conversation. Unlike the typical street gang, The Real Business is laser-focused on financial gain and power, favoring strategic alliances over petty turf wars. Born from the city's burgeoning chaos, a group of kindred spirits with no prior ties came together to forge this powerful entity. In the world of The Real Business, connections are currency, and making enemies is bad for business.
Environmental Setting
The sight of men and women in sharp business attire at the gritty Cypress Warehouses might seem jarring to some, but for The Real Business, it's the perfect cover. These warehouses, now under their control, serve as the epicenter for their diverse criminal operations. Here, corporate acumen melds seamlessly with street-smart tactics, making it the ideal base for their illicit empire. Amid the shadows and industrial decay, deals are struck, schemes are plotted, and power is consolidated.
Owners and leaders taking time to relax and reflect in their first home, Cypress.
Looking ahead, The Real Business has its sights set on expanding their dominion to the affluent Vespucci Canals neighborhood. Known for its picturesque scenery and wealthy residents, Vespucci Canals presents a lucrative opportunity to infiltrate the city's upper crust. By establishing a stronghold there, they plan to blend legitimate business fronts with their covert criminal enterprises, cementing their influence among the elite. This calculated move underscores their ambition to dominate both the city's underground and its high society, ensuring their power and presence are felt everywhere.-| |-https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| |-
Vespucci, The Real Business's New Home
Interpretation of Organization
Members of The Real Business keep a low profile, shrouding the organization's illicit activities in a veil of discretion while weaving a sprawling network of connections across Los Santos. Their unassuming presence often defies the stereotype of hardened criminals, as the group eschews a strict dress code, allowing them to infiltrate and operate within various social and professional circles undetected.
Under the guise of legitimacy, The Real Business runs several front companies throughout the city. These enterprises, ranging from an upscale restaurant and a luxury transport firm to a high-end tech store and extensive real estate holdings, serve dual purposes: they provide a steady stream of income and act as effective covers for their underground operations. Within these establishments, the most trusted and capable employees are monitored closely. Those deemed worthy are inducted into the inner circle, ensuring that only the most loyal and skilled individuals become part of the organization's core.
This selective recruitment process cultivates a deep sense of loyalty and unity among members, who view their inclusion as both a prestigious honor and a lucrative opportunity. The seamless integration of their legal fronts with their criminal undertakings enables The Real Business to maintain a strong and resilient foothold in Los Santos. By blending legitimate operations with clandestine activities, they solidify their status as a powerful and feared mafia-like entity, ever-expanding their influence and control over the city.-| |-https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| |- -| Character Biography Bank |-

DS began his journey in Los Santos as a bin man, working alongside his newly found Serbian friend, Slovodan Zdravo. Slovo, as he was known, was not just an ordinary worker; he was a man of deep knowledge and experience, having navigated the complexities of the city's underbelly long before DS arrived. Hailing from Serbia, Slovo brought with him a wealth of street smarts and a nuanced understanding of survival, forged in the harsh realities of his homeland's tumultuous past.
Slovo's Serbian roots played a crucial role in shaping his character and approach to life in Pegasus. Growing up in a region marked by conflict and resilience, he developed a keen sense of strategy, loyalty, and the importance of community. These values were the cornerstone of his teachings to DS. He educated DS on the city's hidden networks, the importance of strategic alliances, and the art of staying under the radar while making significant moves.
This mentorship was invaluable to DS, who found himself absorbing Slovo's lessons with a mix of gratitude and admiration. The information and wisdom Slovo imparted would prove to be the foundation of DS's future endeavors. Recognizing the depth of Slovo's insight, DS made a conscious decision to seek his friend's advice before making any major decisions. This reliance on Slovo's counsel, though it clashed with DS's innate desire to lead, became a testament to DS's belief that a true leader must also be an effective follower and a perpetual learner.-| |-https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| |-Slovo's guidance and DS's willingness to learn forged a powerful partnership. Together, they laid the groundwork for what would become The Real Business. Slovo's influence ensured that the club would operate with a deep understanding of both the visible and hidden aspects of the city's landscape.
Together, DS and Slovo exemplified the values of loyalty, learning, and strategic collaboration.
After introducing DS to the nuances of the city, Slovodan "Slovo" Zdravo took his mentorship a step further by teaching him the ropes of creating a legitimate business. Together, they established Benny's Original, a successful automotive repair shop that quickly gained a reputation for quality work and exceptional customer service. This venture was not just a business but a strategic move to establish a legitimate front for their more clandestine operations.
Starting Benny's Original required more than just mechanical skills. It demanded a deep understanding of the local market, keen business acumen, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Slovo guided DS through the intricate process of obtaining necessary permits, sourcing high-quality parts, hiring skilled mechanics, and establishing a customer base. They focused on creating a brand that stood for reliability and integrity, setting the stage for their future endeavors.-| |-https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| |-With the success of Benny's Original as a foundation, Slovo began to introduce DS to the underworld, revealing the city's hidden networks and the potential for lucrative ventures beyond the legal sphere. This exploration of the darker side of business was done with caution and precision, emphasizing the importance of trust, discretion, and strategic alliances.
Inspired by their shared passion for business, hard work, morals, and respect, DS and Slovo conceived 'The Real Business.' This motorcycle club was designed to be more than just a gang; it was a sophisticated organization that blended legitimate enterprises with underground activities. The principles that had guided their success with Benny's Original were now applied on a larger scale, ensuring that The Real Business operated with the same level of integrity and strategic foresight.
Creating The Real Business involved meticulous planning and execution. They recruited members who shared their values and vision, individuals who could contribute to both their legitimate and illicit ventures. They established a hierarchy and protocols to maintain order and efficiency within the club. The club planned to diversify to include everything from legal businesses like transport and services to complement their secretive endeavors.
Slovo and DS wasted no time and hit the ground running with Benny's Original, transforming it into an instant success story in Los Santos. With Slovo's seasoned guidance and DS's natural leadership, they curated a team of exceptional talent from across the city. Their meticulous approach to operations and commitment to quality quickly propelled Benny's to the top, earning it the prestigious title of the city's number-one automotive company in its early days.
The success of Benny's was not merely a stroke of luck but a testament to their strategic foresight and dedication. They prioritized customer satisfaction, investing in top-notch equipment and training for their mechanics. Slovo's insights into the local market and DS's managerial skills ensured that every aspect of the business—from client interactions to backend operations—was meticulously executed.
Despite facing challenges along the way, including economic downturns and competitive pressures, Benny's maintained its reputation and market leadership. This resilience was a result of their unwavering commitment to excellence and adaptability in the face of adversity. They navigated through tough times by innovating their service offerings, forging stronger partnerships with suppliers, and maintaining a tight-knit team culture that valued loyalty and professionalism.
Beyond financial success, Benny's also served as a pivotal stepping stone for DS and Slovo's larger ambitions with The Real Business. The automotive shop not only provided a steady income stream but also served as a credible front for their expanding network of operations. It became a hub where trusted associates could gather discreetly, strategize, and coordinate their activities.-| |-https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| |-
Following the successful ventures of Benny's Original and The Real Business, DS encountered a defining moment when he poured his heart and soul into acquiring his first mechanics shop. Located in Jamestown, Atomic Autos presented a promising opportunity for Benny's to establish deeper roots in the city. DS envisioned Atomic Autos not just as a strategic expansion but as a potential future flagship location for Benny's Original.
The decision to acquire Atomic Autos was not taken lightly, especially considering its proximity to the Wardogs, a formidable motorcycle gang led by DS's close friend, Mac. Mac and DS shared a history of mutual respect and camaraderie in their previous city and DS saw huge potential in owning a mechanic shop so close to such a large, loyal, customer base.
However, the acquisition process proved to be more challenging than DS had anticipated. Despite his meticulous planning and strategic approach, unforeseen obstacles emerged. One major hurdle was the competitive bidding process, where DS found himself up against deep-pocketed investors and rival businesses vying for the same property. Each bid incrementally raised the stakes, pushing DS to stretch his financial resources to their limits.
Compounding these challenges was the subtle but persistent influence of the Wardogs. While their camaraderie provided a sense of mutual respect, it also added layers of complexity to the negotiations. The Wardogs' presence in Jamestown meant that territorial dynamics and local allegiances played a significant role in the outcome of the acquisition attempt.
Despite DS's meticulous planning and the unwavering support of his team at Benny's Original, including invaluable strategic counsel from Slovo, the bidding war for Atomic Autos in Jamestown escalated beyond expectations. DS had envisioned the shop as a pivotal piece in Benny's expansion strategy, a future flagship location that would cement their presence in the city's automotive industry.
As the bidding process unfolded, DS found himself competing fiercely against not only local investors but also a larger corporate entity with ties to a powerful Spanish gang. This new contender, known for their substantial financial backing and extensive network, significantly raised the stakes with a bold $11 million bid, dwarfing DS's carefully fundraised $7.1 million offer.
The disappointment was palpable among DS and his team. They had invested not only financial resources but also their passion and vision for the future of Benny's Original. The realization that they had been outmaneuvered by a larger, more financially endowed competitor was a tough pill to swallow. DS's dream of transforming Atomic Autos into a beacon of Benny's success seemed to slip away in the face of such formidable competition.
Despite the setback, DS maintained his composure and resilience. He acknowledged the harsh realities of competitive business environments, where financial muscle often prevailed. While the immediate goal of acquiring Atomic Autos had slipped through his fingers, DS remained steadfast in his commitment to Benny's Original and its mission.
Despite the disappointment of losing out on Atomic Autos to the larger Spanish gang-backed corporation, DS found solace and renewed determination in the steadfast loyalty of his friends, especially Ricky. Originally introduced to DS by Slovo during their early days as bin men, Ricky proved to be a beacon of unwavering support and dedication.
A Mexican native with a deep sense of loyalty and a shared vision for success, Ricky stood by DS through thick and thin. While others may have faltered or moved on, Ricky remained committed, working tirelessly alongside DS day and night. His tireless efforts and genuine desire to see DS succeed shone through in every aspect of their work together.
Together, DS and Ricky strategized their next moves for Benny's Original. With Slovo's departure, Ricky stepped into a more prominent role, bringing his own unique perspective and unwavering dedication to the table. His presence became a cornerstone of DS's inner circle, providing not only practical support but also emotional encouragement during challenging times.
As DS reflected on the journey so far, he recognized the invaluable friendships that had sustained him through setbacks and challenges. Ricky's loyalty and dedication exemplified the kind of partnership and camaraderie that DS valued deeply. Their shared determination to overcome obstacles and achieve their dreams fueled DS's resolve to continue pushing forward.-| |-https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| |-However, Slovo's decision to return to Serbia left a noticeable void. His departure marked the end of an era for DS and the Real Business. Slovo had been more than a mentor; he was a guiding force and a trusted advisor whose strategic insights had shaped DS's approach to business and life in Los Santos. Despite the distance, Slovo remained a respected figure in DS's memories, a testament to the bonds forged in the early days of their entrepreneurial journey.
With Ricky at his side and the support of his team at Benny's Original, DS recalibrated his strategy for growth. They focused on optimizing existing operations, exploring new opportunities for expansion, and strengthening their position within the competitive landscape of Los Santos. DS's vision for Benny's Original changed and he decided to write to Slovo and explore the possibilities of selling Benny's and moving on.
Feeling the weight of Slovo's absence keenly, DS penned a heartfelt letter, reaching out across the distance to explore the prospect of selling Benny's Original. He sought Slovo's counsel, hoping to discuss the possibility of a new chapter, one that would allow DS to pursue different ambitions while ensuring Benny's continued success under new stewardship.
The response from Slovo, however, was not what DS had anticipated. Slovo, still deeply rooted in his own convictions and attachments to Benny's Original, expressed a steadfast refusal to entertain the idea of selling. To Slovo, Benny's was more than just a business; it was a legacy, a testament to their shared journey and hard-won achievements in Los Santos.
Faced with Slovo's resolute stance, DS found himself at a crossroads of conflicting emotions and aspirations. Despite his respect for Slovo and their shared history, DS felt a growing urgency to pursue new ventures and opportunities outside of Benny's Original. The tension between loyalty to their past successes and the desire for personal and professional growth weighed heavily on DS's mind.
Ultimately, unable to reconcile their differing visions for Benny's, DS made the difficult decision to part ways with the business he had poured his heart and soul into. With a heavy heart, DS entrusted Benny's to Slovo's care, hoping that his departure would not diminish the legacy they had built together.
However, in a surprising turn of events, Slovo chose to let Benny's Original fade into obscurity rather than allow DS to sell it. This decision left DS grappling with mixed emotions—regret for leaving behind a piece of his life's work, yet also a sense of liberation to pursue new horizons.
As DS ventured into unknown territory, guided by the lessons learned and friendships forged during his time with Benny's Original, he carried with him a profound gratitude for the experiences that had shaped him. Armed with resilience and the support of loyal friends like Ricky, DS embarked on a new chapter, determined to carve out a path that would honor the legacy of Benny's while embracing the future with unwavering optimism.
DS's exacting standards within the Real Business often led to swift turnover, even among those he considered close friends, a bitter reality he reluctantly accepted. Despite the emotional toll of these departures, DS bore no grudges and remained steadfast in his pursuit. While faces changed, his unwavering goals endured. With Benny's Original no longer in the picture, DS redirected his focus toward nurturing Cloud Logistics, a company initially founded by Slovo and his friend Leon, all while continuing to strengthen the Real Business.
Starting a new service company like Cloud Logistics while managing a motorcycle gang presented DS with significant challenges:
Time Management: Balancing the demands of running a motorcycle gang, which inherently involves managing relationships, security, and operational logistics, with the rigorous demands of launching and growing a service company required meticulous time management and prioritization.
Resource Allocation: Launching Cloud Logistics required allocating resources effectively. DS needed to ensure that both financial and human resources were adequately distributed between the Real Business and Cloud Logistics to foster growth and sustainability in both endeavors.
Operational Challenges: Operating a service company involves navigating regulatory requirements, establishing efficient logistics processes, and ensuring consistent service delivery. DS would have faced challenges in setting up operational workflows, managing inventory, and optimizing delivery routes to meet customer expectations.
Leadership and Team Dynamics: Leading both the Real Business and Cloud Logistics demanded strong leadership and effective team management skills. DS had to inspire and motivate diverse teams with different objectives, fostering a cohesive and dedicated workforce committed to achieving organizational goals.
Financial Prudence: Starting a new venture like Cloud Logistics required careful financial planning and management. DS needed to make strategic investment decisions while ensuring sufficient cash flow to sustain operations and weather unforeseen challenges.
Personal and Emotional Resilience: Managing the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, coupled with the complexities of leading a motorcycle gang, tested DS's personal resilience. He had to navigate setbacks, make tough decisions, and maintain composure in demanding situations to keep both enterprises on course.
Despite these challenges, DS's unwavering determination and strategic foresight enabled him to navigate the dual responsibilities of running a motorcycle gang and launching a successful service company. His ability to adapt, learn from experiences, and maintain focus on his long-term vision underscored his entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to achieving lasting success in the dynamic urban landscape of Los Santos.
DS's brother Mikey arrived in the city around the same time DS met his future wife, Iris Maverick. Their arrival marked a pivotal moment for DS and The Real Business. Iris wasted no time in immersing herself in the operations of Cloud Logistics, lending her expertise to propel the venture forward. Meanwhile, Mikey's arrival brought a significant infusion of capital into The Real Business, enabling them to acquire five strategic warehouses.
The Real Business embarked on a strategic expansion into property ownership with their first warehouse, marking a pivotal moment in their evolution. Recognizing the opportunity to innovate within Los Santos' criminal underworld, they envisioned a unique venture: producing detailed property blueprints to facilitate sophisticated heists on various stores across the city.
It all began with a collective vision among the core members of The Real Business, including DS, Iris, Ricky, and DS's brother, Mikey. After extensive discussions and planning sessions, they identified the potential to leverage their resources and expertise in logistics and operations to establish a network of warehouses. Mikey played a crucial role as the key investor, providing substantial financial backing that enabled the acquisition of five strategically located warehouses in cypress flats industrial area.-| |-https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| |-With their initial warehouse as a model of success, The Real Business swiftly expanded their property holdings, solidifying their footprint in the city. Mikey's investment not only fuelled their growth but also allowed for the recruitment of specialized professionals in architecture, engineering, and security systems. This team collaborated closely to develop comprehensive blueprints that meticulously detailed the layouts, security measures, and potential vulnerabilities of targeted stores.
The venture was not without its challenges. Securing the warehouses, maintaining secrecy, and managing logistical complexities posed ongoing hurdles. However, fueled by Mikey's financial support and the collective determination of the team, The Real Business remained committed to their goal of providing invaluable tools for criminal enterprises while operating discreetly within the city's intricate underworld.-| |-https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| |-Over time, The Real Business's warehouses became integral to the criminal ecosystem of Los Santos. Their blueprints enabled daring heists on a variety of establishments, from upscale boutiques to high-security warehouses, solidifying their reputation as strategic facilitators of lucrative criminal enterprises.
Through innovation, strategic foresight, and a commitment to operational excellence, The Real Business transformed from a motorcycle club into a formidable force in the criminal underworld of Los Santos. Their pioneering approach to property blueprints and heist facilitation reshaped the landscape of crime, setting new standards for efficiency and sophistication in criminal operations.
The Real Business expanded their operations with five strategically located warehouses and several apartments, but their ventures extended far beyond mere property holdings. DS, Mikey, and Iris established a routine centered around Vespucci Canals, where they often accessed their boat for container searches. These missions were crucial for procuring coca leaves, conducting naval traffic runs to secure ammunition and weapons, and fulfilling drug deliveries to their customers.
Their frequent visits to Vespucci Canals weren't just business; they harbored a deep-seated ambition to eventually own homes in the area and assert their dominance over the territory. The canals offered more than just a base of operations; they symbolized a future where The Real Business would solidify their presence and influence in Los Santos. Each mission and transaction was a step towards their vision of establishing a stronghold, strategically positioned to oversee and expand their criminal enterprises.
The dream of owning houses in Vespucci Canals represented more than just personal luxury; it was a testament to their aspirations and determination to carve out a significant stake in the city's underworld. For DS, Mikey, and Iris, the canals were not just a location but a symbol of their collective ambition and the future they were relentlessly working to build.

Members of the organization maintain a relentless pace, ensuring blueprint production operates around the clock. This task involves meticulous preparation to continually stock laptops with necessary supplies—pendrives, tablets, and notepads—to facilitate the creation of detailed blueprints for numerous prominent gangs across the city.
Each step in the process demands precision and coordination. Procuring high-capacity pendrives ensures ample storage for extensive blueprint data, meticulously organized to cover layouts, security systems, and potential vulnerabilities of targeted establishments. Tablets equipped with specialized software are essential for accessing and manipulating detailed architectural plans, while notepads serve as crucial tools for jotting down critical notes and observations during reconnaissance missions.
The operation hinges on seamless logistics and a strategic approach to supply management. Maintaining an uninterrupted flow of supplies ensures that production remains efficient and responsive to the demands of various criminal enterprises. This relentless effort underscores the organization's commitment to providing invaluable tools that empower gangs to execute sophisticated heists and expand their influence across the city.
Ricky is leaving!? Ricky's decision to leave Los Santos and return to Mexico to care for his ailing mother struck DS with the force of a sledgehammer. Ricky was more than just a friend; he was the last link to the beginning of DS's tumultuous journey. Their bond had been forged in the crucible of early struggles and countless shared experiences, making Ricky feel more like a brother than a mere comrade.-| |-https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-|
With a heavy heart, DS faced the reality of Ricky's departure. As they stood together for what felt like the last time, Ricky handed DS a set of keys and a few folded papers. "Anything I can't take with me is yours, ese," Ricky said, his voice tinged with sorrow and a touch of defiant warmth. Ricky was giving DS his house and all his belongings in the city, a gesture that spoke volumes about their deep bond and mutual respect.
The weight of the moment pressed down on DS as he struggled to find words. Ricky's thumb went up in a final salute, a gesture so simple yet laden with the gravity of their shared history. "Take care, hermano," Ricky said, his eyes betraying the sadness that his stoic demeanor tried to mask.
As Ricky turned to leave, the finality of the moment washed over DS. Watching his closest friend walk away, knowing it was for the last time, tore at his heart. Ricky's departure marked the end of an era, a poignant reminder of the transient nature of life and relationships in the unforgiving world they inhabited.
That day, the air seemed heavier, the city quieter. DS stood alone, clutching the keys and papers, feeling the profound emptiness left in Ricky's wake. Their brotherhood, built on shared dreams and unyielding loyalty, would forever be a part of him. Ricky's gift was more than material possessions; it was a symbol of their unbreakable bond and the enduring legacy of their friendship.-| |-https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| UNDER CONSTRUCTION
A New Home Following The Real Business's successful application for "Official Gang" status within GTAHUB and Pegasus, the family took a well-deserved moment to reflect and celebrate. This milestone was more than just a title; it was a testament to their hard work, perseverance, and strategic acumen. As part of their celebration, they made a significant investment, purchasing their first three houses in the coveted Vespucci Canals neighborhood. At last, their dreams were becoming a reality, and the plans they had set out in the beginning were starting to take shape.-| |-https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| |-
Establishing a foothold in the Vespucci Canals was a monumental achievement for The Real Business. The picturesque yet strategic location near the city's inner waterways offered numerous advantages for their operations. The canals provided a perfect backdrop for their luxurious homes, but more importantly, they served as a crucial logistical hub for their various illicit activities.-| |-https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| |-The acquisition of these properties signified more than just territorial expansion; it marked the beginning of a new era of influence and control. From their new base in the Vespucci Canals, The Real Business could efficiently distribute drugs and weapons across the city. The waterways allowed for discreet transportation routes, bypassing the heavily monitored roads and reducing the risk of law enforcement interference.-|
With their strategic positioning, they could coordinate naval traffic missions to secure shipments of ammunition and weapons, conduct container searches for valuable contraband, and manage drug runs to their clientele with unprecedented efficiency. The canals' network of hidden alleys and secluded docks provided perfect cover for clandestine meetings and exchanges, ensuring that their operations remained under the radar.
https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| |-In this new phase, The Real Business solidified their presence in the city, ensuring that their operations would not only continue but thrive. The Vespucci Canals, with its mix of beauty and strategic value, became the heart of their empire, propelling them towards even greater heights in the criminal underworld of Los Santos.
The establishment of a territory in the Vespucci Canals also had a symbolic significance. It represented their rise from humble beginnings to a powerful entity within Los Santos. The once disparate group of money-minded individuals had evolved into a formidable organization with a stronghold in one of the city's most strategic locations. This new territory was a physical manifestation of their ambitions and a base from which they could project their power and influence across the urban landscape.
One of the newly acquired houses will serve as the primary meeting spot for The Real Business, providing a secure and discreet location for members to strategize and coordinate their activities. The second house, made possible through the contributions of Penny and Lucian, stands as a testament to their loyalty and commitment to the organization. The third property, still awaiting its future occupant, will soon be allocated to a high-ranking member, further solidifying the gang's stronghold in the Vespucci Canals and ensuring that their leadership has a significant presence in this strategic territory.-| |-https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| |-

Aeds Training
The Real Business had always prided itself on its innovative approach to both legitimate and illicit operations in Los Santos. With their new territory secured in the Vespucci Canals and a growing arsenal, they were ready to expand their dominance further. One key figure in this expansion was Aed, a pilot who works at Skyline Taxis. His knowledge and expertise in aviation became a crucial asset for the gang’s new venture: mastering seaplanes to dominate the advanced naval traffic industry.-| |-https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| |-The Beginning:
It all started on a clear morning in the Vespucci Canals. DS, Mikey, and the higher-ranking members gathered near their newly acquired houses, ready to embark on a new chapter. Aed stood in front of them, his demeanor calm yet authoritative, as he prepared to share his extensive knowledge of flying seaplanes.
“Alright, listen up,” Aed began, his voice carrying over the water’s surface. “Flying a seaplane isn’t just about getting from point A to point B. It’s about precision, understanding the elements, and using these machines to our strategic advantage.”
The Training:
Over the next few weeks, the canals became a bustling hub of activity. Aed meticulously trained DS, Mikey, and the others in the art of seaplane piloting. They practiced takeoffs and landings on the water, learned navigation techniques, and familiarized themselves with the aircraft's controls.
DS, with his natural leadership and quick learning, was the first to master the basics. Mikey, whose investment had been pivotal in acquiring the resources, showed a surprising aptitude for aerial maneuvers. Aed was patient, explaining every detail, ensuring that each member understood the critical aspects of flying.
The training sessions were intense, often starting at dawn and ending late into the night. But the hard work paid off. Soon, the higher-ranking members were proficient pilots, ready to take on the skies and seas of Los Santos.
The Execution:
With their newfound skills, The Real Business was ready to dominate the advanced naval traffic industry. The seaplanes allowed them to move large quantities of contraband, including weapons and drugs, with unprecedented efficiency. They could land in remote areas, evading law enforcement and rival gangs alike.-| |-https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| |-One of their first major operations involved intercepting a shipment of high-grade military weapons destined for a rival gang. The intelligence was solid, and the plan was set. DS and Mikey, now confident pilots, took to the skies with Aed leading the operation.
The seaplanes cut through the air with precision, and as they approached the target location, Aed’s calm instructions guided them flawlessly. They landed on the water near the rival’s shipment point, their seaplanes blending into the maritime traffic unnoticed.

Within minutes, The Real Business operatives had secured the shipment. The rivals, caught off guard by the aerial approach, were left in disarray. DS, Mikey, and their crew quickly loaded the weapons into their seaplanes and took off, leaving the rivals seething in their wake.-| |-https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| |-
The Aftermath:-| |-https://discord.gg/2f83TRfsdC-| |-The success of the operation solidified The Real Business’s dominance in the advanced naval traffic industry. Their ability to use seaplanes for swift and covert transportation gave them a significant edge. Rival gangs, now aware of their prowess, could only watch in bitterness as The Real Business took control of the most lucrative shipments.
Aed’s expertise had not only taught them how to fly but also how to strategically outmaneuver their enemies. The seaplanes became a symbol of their dominance, a testament to their innovation and adaptability.
Back in the Vespucci Canals, the gang celebrated their success. The houses they had dreamed of owning now stood as headquarters for their operations, and the seaplanes were parked like trophies in the water. DS, Mikey, and the other higher-ranking members knew that this was just the beginning. With Aed’s training and their relentless drive, The Real Business was poised to control the skies and seas of Los Santos, leaving their rivals to bitterly recount their losses.
