Chapter 223 Lack of Something More Stylish
Chapter 223 Lack of something more stylish...
Xia Yanzhen and the others said that the underworld is a sunset industry with no future, the kind that can't even turn red in the sunset.
But it also depends on where you are. In this mission world, the underworld is upgraded to the mafia, and it's not that bad.
In this super metropolis, there are four major mafia families.
They are the Morello family, the Locke family, the Keynes family and the Harvey family.
Although it is called a family, it actually has nothing to do with the family. It is just an imitation of the traditional mafia. It was just a title, without inheriting a strict system and creating positions such as boss, consultant, executive, and soldier.
Nor legions, partners.
The underworld talks about all kinds of rules, but when it comes to that, what are the rules?
Profit comes first.
Anything can be sold for money.
Otherwise, risking beheading to "carry out a career", is it just for the sake of brotherly loyalty?
Justice Must Win's understanding of the four major families comes from the information directly given by the mission, and from the fight with the Locke family when they first arrived today.
Four people were assigned the identity of the younger brothers of Morello family members.
A warehouse guarding Morello was raided by members of the Locke family today.
Because there were four people from the Just Victory family, the Locke family's sneak attack failed and they did not get any benefits.
In the evening, the heads of the two families, Morello and Locke, were supposed to talk.
If we can't reach an agreement, we'll fight again.
As for the cause, there is nothing to say. The four families sometimes cooperated and sometimes were hostile. The grievances can be traced back to five or six years ago.
Whoever beats whom, whoever cheats whoever, whoever helps whomever, all have valid reasons.
Justice must win because of its initial contribution, which was appreciated by Morello.
I'm going to take them with me tonight.
These four righteous men took the tens of thousands of dollars in rewards given to them by Morello as the funds needed for the mission, and then ran away directly.
They don't want to be involved in the underworld.
The four of them didn't quite agree with Xia Yanzhen's plan, but they wouldn't object and told him the address where the two families would negotiate that night.
Let him do the work, everyone should not interfere with each other, and join forces when necessary, which is the best state of cooperation.
It is unrealistic to really mix together and always be in step with each other.
Even in the same team, there will be differences.
The time came to eight o'clock in the evening.
The "rescue" of the Dark Knight continues, and prayer activities have spread from online to offline. The corner of the street outside St. Mary's Hospital is filled with candles.
In the Chase Bank robbery, the suspect did not know where he went. The police are working hard to trace the suspect, but there is no harvest yet.
The already bustling megacity became even more lively under the stimulation of two incidents.
In fact, the matter has nothing to do with many people, but it does not prevent them from witnessing important events and feeling excited.
If I don't participate, I can't comment online - ah, I really can't, that's okay.
Torres is a media oligarch, a giant in both traditional and emerging media industries.
The ball gag is not hidden.
For Morello and Locke, these two things are not important. They need to talk about it now.
There has been a lot of friction between the two companies recently, can they still make good money?
The location of the negotiation will definitely not be arbitrary territory between the two parties.
It is a "neutral" area. The city is huge and there are many neutral areas.
The four major families only occupied four areas as their territory, but they did not have the ability to divide the entire city's underground world into four parts.
The negotiation location is other than the negotiating parties.
There are also Harvey and Cairns, the heads of two other major families.
Originally, it was only Harvey who acted as the middleman, but it was Locke who proposed Harvey as the middleman. Morello was worried that the two parties would join forces to make small moves, so he asked Keynes to be the middleman.
As a result, the talks between the two sides turned into a meeting between the four parties.
The four bosses were in the room, smoking heavily, and outside the door were a group of guards.
Locke's men and Morello's men were outside, glaring at each other, blowing their beards and glaring.
The atmosphere in the room was pretty good.
If you don't slap the table, stand up and start a fight.
Everyone has been the boss for many years, and this kind of thing has not happened to them for a long time.
You have to do everything yourself, why do you need a younger brother to do it?
Four people were talking.
Morello was a little irritable. Where were his four younger brothers? Did he take the money and run away?
Suddenly there were bursts of gunshots outside, followed by screams.
"what happened?"
"You fucking don't follow the rules!"
Locke and Morello immediately slapped the table and stood up, pointing their guns directly at each other.
Whether or not to take action is one thing, but whether to carry a gun is another.
Keynes and Harvey, who were supposed to be doves of peace, instead took a step back and said nothing.
Expect two people to just shoot each other dead.
Harvey also walked towards the door, ostensibly to take a look, but actually to make space for the two of them and to prevent himself from being affected by stray bullets.
As soon as they arrived at the door, the door was opened and Xia Yanzhen, wearing a purple suit, walked in.
Harvey was stunned and immediately drew his gun and shot.
The response speed was very fast, which fully demonstrated the quality of the mafia leader.
There is a commotion outside. If you open the door and see a stranger, you will naturally shoot immediately.
Xia Yanzhen reached out and grabbed the bullet in front of him, and he caught the bullet and pressed it into Harvey's head.
The hot bullet burned Harvey's head, causing him to scream in pain.
Xia Yanzhen pushed forward slightly, and Harvey hit the table in the room hard. His whole body seemed to fall apart and he couldn't stand up at all.
Locke and Morello immediately turned their guns and pointed them at Xia Yanzhen.
Keynes also drew his gun.
"Who are you!"
"who!"
Seeing Harvey's miserable state of being unable to get up, the three of them did not shoot immediately.
Xia Yanzhen raised a finger to signal the three of them to be quiet: "Shh, I'm telling you, listen."
The three of them said nothing and glanced at the door behind Xia Yanzhen.
Several younger brothers were lying there, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Xia Yanzhen ignored the pistol and walked over to open the window of the room: "The smell of smoke is like a gas chamber. Aren't you uncomfortable?"
"Who are you?" Locke asked.
The other person's outfit feels a bit familiar.
"It's you, you robbed Chase Bank!" Keynes recognized it and looked surprised.
The Chase Bank robbery became a sensation, which directly suppressed the popularity of the rescue of the Dark Knight who was seriously injured and dying.
Keynes paid a lot of attention.
Know the suspect's characteristics.
Chase Bank is not a small local bank, and its security facilities are of extremely high standards.
Let's put it this way, pushing the timeline forward nearly a hundred years, back to the heyday of the Mafia, robbing a bank of Chase Bank's level is not within the scope of their "job".
Those with underground vaults are not branches.
As Keynes recognized Xia Yan's true identity, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely tense.
Several mafia bosses felt that the guns in their hands weighed a thousand pounds.
"What is robbery?" Xia Yanzhen said, "Don't slander good people. I call it borrowing money, and I will exchange it later!"
Harvey climbed down from the table with great reluctance, feeling that one or two of his ribs were broken.
None of the four people were in the mood to agree with Xia Yanzhen's joke.
There is a difference between desperadoes, gangsters and mafia.
This kind of person is unscrupulous and much worse than the mafia.
"Okay, what do you want from us? If you want to arrange to leave, we can help." Morello said.
Are you going to run away?
"Leave, why are you leaving? I like this city." Xia Yanzhen said with a smile, "It's lively, prosperous, and there are a lot of idols and stupid people."
It was difficult for all four of Morello to answer the question.
"It's just that there's still something missing...just a few." Xia Yanzhen stretched out two fingers and gestured a little.
"What's missing?" Morello couldn't help but ask.
This can be accepted.
"There is a lack of criminals with more style and taste." Xia Yanzhen said, "Look, it is such a shame that there are so many superheroes but no corresponding super criminals.
"It's too vulgar for people like you to think only about money. True crime should be an art and should have a higher style."
There are no super villains in reality, at least Xia Yanzhen hasn't seen one yet.
There are many classic villain characters in the movie, which does not prevent Xia Yanzhen from imitating them.
The nagging tone and gesture.
Coupled with the powerful "deeds", it is enough to scare the four Morellos.
Xia Yanzhen raised his hand, reached behind, and took out all the money he had snatched from the bank.
Money piled up and became his background.
This scene made the expressions of the four people in Morello show obvious panic.
Superpower!
Moreover, he is a crazy superpower with abnormal brain!
Normal superpowers, with this skill alone, can live comfortably even if they don't join any entertainment company and just make some videos online.
People with super powers don't need to commit crimes at all to live a good life.
Such a person actually went to rob a bank, and the thief was Chase Bank. Coupled with the nagging just now, what is he other than a madman?
"Do you want it?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
Morello swallowed and stared at the background board behind Xia Yanzhen with difficulty.
The other three were not much better, and Harvey felt that the broken ribs on his body no longer hurt.
It’s not like they haven’t seen money.
But the feeling of putting out so much money at once is still very shocking.
"What do you want us to do?" Morello licked his lips and did it.
"Do you have a lighter?" Xia Yanzhen stretched out his hand.
Morello took out an exquisite lighter and threw it to Xia Yanzhen.
After taking it, Xia Yanzhen lit it, kept the flame, and threw it back.
The lighter rolled over the pile of money, igniting the money and thick smoke began to rise.
"what are you doing!"
Even Harvey took a step forward.
"It's nothing. It's not easy for you to spend this money. It's not prepared for you." Xia Yanzhen stood up, "Let's talk about how to cooperate first."
He walked towards Morello and others, and the four of them stepped back involuntarily.
Behind him are the rising flames.
Half an hour later, several black cars were driving on the road.
In the middle car, Morello was driving and Harvey was sitting in the passenger seat.
Xia Yanzhen was sitting in the back seat of the driver, with the car window open, showing the night view outside.
The other two, Locke and Keynes, squeezed in as much as possible on the other side.
Fortunately, the car has enough space and can seat three people in the back.
The expressions on the faces of the four people were anxious and a little expectant.
Just like when they first stepped into the underworld to cause trouble, their hearts were beating fast.
The four mafia bosses became the younger brothers who went out to kill people with their elder brothers.
