Triads and Tribulations

Triads and Tribulations is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by Toni Cipriani from his mother's restaurant in Saint Mark's, Portland Island, Liberty City.

Mission
Claude goes to the Toni Cipriani looking for work and finds a letter left on the table telling the task of getting rid of three Triad warlords. However, there's already two Leone goons with him. The first warlord is located in Chinatown, with Claude driving to the location and killing him and the Triads who are with him. The second warlord is standing near the pedestrian only walk part of Chinatown, seemingly alone. When the Triads spot Claude, they ambush him but Claude kills them and the second warlord. The third is located in the Fish Factory, so Claude steals a Triad Fish Van, drives into the compound and kills the third Triad warlord. Alternatively Claude can throw a grenade over the walls towards the Fish Factory.

Script
(Claude walks to Momma's Restaurant finding the letter.)

Ma Cipriani: Oh, it's you. Toni ain't here. But he left one off his sugary love letters for you.

Toni Cipriani: We're at WAR. The Triads have a fish factory as a front. Most of their business goes down at the fish market in Chinatown. That laundry still owes us protection. They reckon the Triads are protecting them now, so I say we exact a fitting punishment. Take these boys over and whack the Triad warlords! Hell, if you get a chance, pop of some of their soldiers too.

Reward
The reward for completing the mission is $30,000 and the mission Blow Fish is unlocked.

Trivia

 * The mission name may be a spoof to the popular science fiction series Star Trek, who had an episode entitled "Trials and Tribulations".
