Incorporating the elements you've suggested, here's a brief revised passage that could fit into the evolving narrative:
---
Under the ghostly glow of the neon crescent moon, the cemetery was more than a resting place for the departed; it was a chessboard for the living. Our mission, whispered briefly over the clink of bottles and the distant sound of a camel, was to weave a web of blackmail tight enough to ensnare ex-PMs and high-ranking officials, using the night's revelries as cover.
As the DJ spun tracks that echoed off the marble tombstones, the Sultan mused aloud about visitations from the desert beast, a specter in his peripheral vision that he mistook for a divine sign. Little did he know, the camel's cry was our cue; the gyrations of the working girls were merely a distraction, a spectacle to draw the eyes of our targets while we, the shadowy operatives of Big Tit Inc., orchestrated our Gonzo gambit.
The night air was thick with the scent of intrigue, and in the quiet moments between the beats, we could all feel the pulse of our clandestine operation beneath the surface. It was only a matter of time before the desert's secret would unfold, ensnaring those who danced unknowingly on the graves of their own secrets.

This passage keeps the narrative tone consistent with the Gonzo style and the established storyline, while introducing the new elements of intrigue and mission objectives you mentioned.
I had an intimate acquaintance with this graveyard. A mere ten-minute trek from Brickfields, it was the breath of Kuala Lumpur—a city gasping for air. The superstitions of the faithful kept them from these five hallowed hectares, while addicts claimed it as their sanctuary. So high on White China, they wouldn't bother a soul, least of all a middle-aged foreigner like me, meandering daily.
But I, harboring grand schemes for this place, saw more than a resting place for the dead. It was not only a perfect launchpad for Big Tit Inc., but also an ideal spot to unveil an alfresco house of ill-repute. Knowledge of such sacred grounds whispered to me that Indonesian ladies of the night would find solace here, catering to the Indian Malay clientele—a welcome service in this robust Muslim nation.
The dirty weekends across the Thai-Malay border teetered on the edge of danger. Men returned with more than just souvenirs—AIDS, leaving a trail of widowed Malay women. "The time is ripe for commerce," Max declared, backing this whole enterprise, a venture promising liberation to housewives with hungry children and husbands soaked in booze.
And as we set to upend the status quo, Langley gave the nod—time to hustle. Max, ever the opportunist, took to bartending like a fish to water. We pitched marquees where tombstones stood—no chairs, no tables, just the solid comfort of stone beneath us.
We razed a crypt, traded its walls for glass, and pumped in chilled air—a shrine of indulgence amidst the dead. We christened it 'The Vault,' destined to rock Asia's core. And as for the juice to fire it all up—let's just say we had our ways.
And there you have it, an electric requiem for the dead, now a pulsing heart for the living—a twisted rebirth only a true Gonzo could conjure.
