To start the Benzies Family Cartel story mission in Schedule 1, you first need to unlock Westville, one of the areas in Hyland Point. To gain access to this area, you need to rank up to Hoodlum I.

Once you unlock the new area, the next day, after sleeping the night away, you will receive a text message from Thomas Benzies. He will ask you to meet him at the parking lot next to the Taco Ticklers. It’s the area near the motel and skateboard park. He is waiting inside a black SUV.

Once you meet with Thomas Benzies, he will tell you that the Westville territory is their turf. The cartel is not happy about you doing your business in their territory. But they won’t be hostile to you just yet. He offers you a deal.

The deal is that the Benzies Cartel will purchase your products, but at a reduced price. This means you will lose a lot of profit compared to selling them to your regular customers. This is what will happen if you choose “AGREE TO DEAL” and work with the cartel family in Schedule 1.

If you choose “REFUSE DEAL,” the Benzies Family will be hostile towards you. They will start attacking your dealers and will attempt to steal their money or products. There are times when your dealers can escape their clutches and continue their business.

With that said, refusing the deal with Thomas Benzies is the most ideal choice you can make in Schedule 1. This way, you can still sell your products at full price. You will lose a bit of profit from your dealers being attacked by the cartel. However, it’s not as huge a profit loss compared to working with the Benzies Family. You also get a chance to take down the cartel family and unlock the Hyland Manor, their base of operations, for yourself.
