From the beginning until now, the struggle between Gao Guang and Morris wasn't about pride, but about interests.
Each one represented the interests of a group of people, which meant the war between Gao Guang and Morris couldn't be like a boxing championship fight for the gold belt, where there could be a clear victor after a single battle.
Gao Guang had to slice Morris apart piece by piece, encircle him, devour his territory bite by bite, prune his wings, and reduce Morris to a mere figurehead, incapable of accomplishing anything or earning a single US Dollar. Naturally, that would spell the end for Morris.
The first target was to take out Morris's biggest partner in Iraq.
Gao Guang's partner was Salah, a Kurd, but Morris's partner was different; his ally was the wealthiest man in Iraq.
The richest man—this was key. If it weren't for the richest man, Lloyd probably wouldn't have thought to start from Baghdad.
