A new regime

Tommy, Lance, Avery and Ken Rosenberg stand in the mansion discussing what to do next. Ken wants to redecorate and Tommy tells him to remember he is a lawyer. Lance wants to start seizing territory, and Avery suggests a legitimate front in real estate. Tommy decides to show them how to handle the shopkeepers.

To the mall

A Stinger waits near the house, so take it and head for North Point Mall in Vice Point. The clock is already running, so use the main roads and avoid hitting traffic. The mall is in Vice Point, so follow the marker and keep going.

Smashing the windows

Run through the mall and smash the glass in each shop front. Each smashed pane brings the owners out, begging for protection. Your wanted level climbs steadily towards five stars while you do it, and police appear inside the mall, though shooting the windows from a vehicle such as a bike avoids those spawns. Work along one level at a time, and do not waste time in side areas.

The last panes

Finish the remaining windows on the lower level and in the shopping corridors. The Stinger is parked outside, ready to leave, and the police may become interested if you wreck shops. Once the last pane breaks, the mission ends and the game explains how property purchases work.

Buying property

After the mission passed screen, the game shows that you can buy property in certain areas. Look for a green house icon, step into it and press the buy button. Avery had already suggested a legitimate front in real estate, and buying these businesses is how you build it up.
