### The Vespucci Kings

With all the Leanbois going inactive. He decided set up his own gang called Vespucci Kings in order to do things his own way in the world of organized crime. Most of the important decisions Bob is discussing with Vincent Reno, who is a bit more inconspicuous but has around as much of a say as Bob himself.

### Run-Ins with Grove

After founding the VK, he kept working close with Grove, especially with Jack Jackson.

### Parting Ways and Making Friends

Although Bob and Jack enjoyed each other in terms of their work attitude, Bob felt mistreated by Jack a few times. Eventually he told Alexis, who was a good friend of Dequan, who murdered him. Although suspected by Jack and others that he did it to get a better coke line established with her, he mainly made this decision due to valuing his friendship with Alexis more. With Jack realizing that fact, this working relationship was gone, but Bob could stabilize his own gang with the other OG's Vincent Reno, Tobius Huxley, Rocco Ringetti and Conner McDowell.

The resulting tension later resulted in a feud with the Jack lead Grove, who wanted revenge for Bob telling Alexis and so they tried to influence the coke flow in the city by disturbing the Kings among other things. In a result of that Bob tried to set up Jack, which did not work out though. Bob however was able to ambush Jack and some other Grove members with the help of the Vespucci Queen and Harry Brown in front of Tequilala a couple days after that, and they were able to blow up their car. This put the VK in a favorable position for the outcome of that conflic. The next week Archie Cooper, Jadyn Caesar and Arrio were able to take revenge for that by blowing up a car next to the Queen and Bob, severely injuring them.

When the Queen however stabbed Archie, Bob decided to spare his life, which was the start of a good relationship to at least one of the Grove members. They were able to set up peace conditions Jack after getting out of the hospital as well agreed upon.

Archie Cooper was in a car behind them, and since it was known that Grove and the Nomads were on positive terms, Bob was not sure about trusting Grove after that. However Bob was shot down from his own bike by another Nomad shortly after, which started the war against the Nomads. He texted Archie to stay out of Vinewood, which was returned with the same threat for their territory. However the next few weeks, most people were not out in the streets and no shootouts took place and the tension between Grove and the Kings decreased slowly.
