Chapter 665: Dining with the Dragon (please vote for the big chapter)
After hearing He Ao's words, the boss of the Poisonous Scorpion Gang did not answer immediately. He picked up the wine glass in his hand and took a sip, then slowly stood up, left the sofa, and walked towards the curtain behind the sofa.
As he approached, the huge and thick curtains slowly parted to both sides, revealing the huge, clear, floor-to-ceiling windows behind it.
Buildings with flashing neon lights loomed behind floor-to-ceiling windows.
However, the boss of the Poisonous Scorpion Gang did not look at the shining buildings. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the pitch-black night above his head.
It's dark tonight, the sky is filled with rolling clouds, and the whole city seems to be shrouded in a foggy dome.
"Old sir, do you know why I decided to live here?"
The boss of the Viper Gang held the wine glass in his hand and looked up at the sky, "Because you can see the sky from here."
In the city of St. John, where the sunlight is swallowed up by factory buildings, the top floors of tall buildings are one of the few places where you can see the sky and the sun.
"I grew up in the Green Olive neighborhood. My father was a gangster at the bottom, and my mother was mute. When I was five years old, I would go to the street to steal things with my companions. When I was seven years old, I learned how to help others in the casino. When I was ten years old, I
My father died when I was 18 years old. He was hacked to death during a gang fight.
"He was a bastard. He never brought a penny home. He also beat his mother and robbed her of her money. When he died, I didn't collect his body. We couldn't afford the money for his cremation. He was picked up by the scavenger.
His only ending.
"I have never been to school for a day. When I was a child, I often lay outside the school fence and looked at the children in the school, thinking about how these people were different from me.
"Sometimes, I go online and study some textbooks by myself. There are basically no free teaching videos on the Internet. All relevant webpages are advertisements for major education groups. Most of the time, I can only study the textbooks by myself, or sneak into
Community school, listen to their lectures.
"Sometimes I get kicked out, sometimes I don't.
"When I was fifteen years old, I joined a gang. I always thought that like my bastard father, I would die in a gang fight one day and be picked up like garbage by the scavengers.
"But I'm lucky. The messy books I studied taught me a lot of useful logical thinking methods. I found that many things are actually not that complicated if you look back. Some small strategies can also work.
effective.
"I gradually gained the trust of the boss of my gang and gradually became the second-in-command,"
His voice gradually became longer, as if he was caught in a long memory, "I was only seventeen years old at that time. I was a young man in a high position and was young and energetic. I thought that I could change anything by myself.
"At that time, all our gangs were in the Green Olive District, fighting for a small profit, but the most well-fed people in the entire city of St. John were the poor people in the Green Olive District who couldn't even afford to eat?
"Everyone in the city of St. John knows that the Kajet Consortium, which was at its peak at that time, was the one with the best food in the entire city, and the food trucks of the Kajet Consortium had a habit of transporting grain before transporting it out of the city.
The car is almost unguarded.
"So I gathered a few cronies, squatted for a few days, and behind my boss's back, I privately led people to rob the grain truck of the Kejit Group, and then sold the stolen grain to Green Olive Street at a low price.
The residents made a lot of money.
“For a time, my popularity in the entire Green Olive neighborhood soared, and many people came to join me.
"The first time I did this, I did a good job and took care of all the steps before and after. So even if the matter made the news that day, two weeks later, no one from the FBI or the Saints was involved.
People from the Jon City Police Department came to find him.
"Then, a month later, I did another one.
"I still did a good job this time, but on the third day after the incident, the Kjet Consortium came to the door. In fact, I had expected this outcome a long time ago. After all, no one will suddenly appear.
With a lot of food, there is no airtight wall in this world.
"I originally wanted to kill the people of Kjet directly and use the Green Olive Zone to declare war with the Kjet Consortium, but I was stopped by my boss at the time. He had always been very optimistic about me, but that was the first time he scolded me.
, he admitted his mistake to the Kjet Consortium.
"There is no death penalty in the federal government, and I can control gangs in prison, so I am not afraid of the judicial process of the Kjet Consortium. However, the Kjet Consortium finally gave me a handling method that surprised me.
“All the robbed grain will be converted into cash according to the market price, and then repaid in five-year installments as a loan with an annual interest of 8%.
"Of course, the premise of all this is that our gang wants to help them do things. Of course, everything they ask us to do is paid.
"To put it in simpler terms, they want to keep us as dogs.
"I directly rejected the proposal of the KJET people at that time. The people from the KJET Group left like a gray dog. That day was the happiest day in my life."
He took a sip of wine, paused slightly, and concluded,
"I thought I had the consortium crushed under my feet.
"Unfortunately, this happiness does not last long,
"As soon as the people from the Kjet Group left, my boss at the time asked me to surrender to the FBI immediately, so that I could avoid some retaliation.
"Kaget's people left in the morning, and I surrendered in the afternoon, but the FBI did not accept my surrender case."
When the leader of the Viper Gang said this, he drank the wine in his glass in a dull tone.
He Ao stared at the man's back, thoughtfully, and slowly moved towards Jia Qian's position, sitting close to his granddaughter.
"When I returned to the gang station, I found that there was only ruins left. Rival gangs attacked our gang station. They took out high-tech weapons that we had never come into contact with and bypassed the warning system I set up. It was like
The massacre generally killed all members of our gang."
The man continued,
"The boss who originally trusted me also died in this battle. Based on the information he left, I concluded that the reason why the other side was able to bypass our cordon was because there was an insider leading the way, and that insider,
He was my most trusted confidant.
"After I realized this, I immediately went to my mother's house. After I joined the gang, my mother never took a penny from me, and moved to a place far away from my gang. I have been living by doing odd jobs, with only a few
The cronies know where my mother is.
"When I got home, I only saw blood all over the house and my mother lying in a pool of blood.
"I angrily led the remaining men to raid the enemy gang's station, but their firepower was too strong. In almost a short time, we lost most of our men, and I retreated with wounds all over my body.
"I escaped with the last few people under the cover of a family that had bought me low-priced grain. However, not long after I left, that family was captured and massacred by a hostile gang.
"One of his neighbors took money from the gang and betrayed him.
"During that time, the entire underground world of St. John City was full of wanted posters for me. They offered a high price of tens of thousands for my clues and life. Several of my cronies who had been following me couldn't stand the temptation.
You chose to betray me.
"If I hadn't reacted in time, I would have died in those betrayals.
"But there were fewer and fewer people around me, until I was betrayed by the last confidant around me, and I finally fell into a desperate situation.
"That's when the people from Kjet found me,"
The man smiled with a little sarcasm, which seemed to be directed at the Kjet Consortium, and seemed to be directed at himself, "They first expressed their position. The rival gang did take their money, but they only gave
I didn't ask them to kill my mother or kill all my gang.
"They said they were willing to help me, give me money, and give me a way to buy firearms, but there was one thing. The money and the food loan had to be repaid. If I finally defeated the enemy gang, the money taken by the enemy gang would also be included in the calculation.
On my head.
"It's ridiculous, isn't it? They gave money to others to kill my relatives and friends, but I have to pay back the money.
“But I had nothing at the time, so I agreed to this condition.
"With the support of the Kjet Group, I quickly made a comeback and re-established the gang, which is now the Scorpion Gang.
"It only took me less than three months to get rid of the original gang, kill the cronies who betrayed me first and later, and slaughtered everyone in that gang.
"In the next few years, I gradually unified the entire Green Olive District, but I have never been able to repay the loan I owed to the Kjet Group. After I finished paying off one loan, I would then borrow another due to expansion.
A new loan, and the cycle repeats.”
He lowered his head and stared at the bright city in the distance, which was almost all the factories of the Kjet Group. The roaring sound of the machines seemed to echo throughout the night.
"The deeper I get in touch with them, the more I find that the super consortium is so terrifying and huge, like a frog at the bottom of a well looking up at a giant dragon flying across the sky."
He sighed softly,
“It was during that period of development that I met the ‘filmmaker’ and gradually established everything we have today.
"Of course, that guy never believed in me, and I never believed in him. It's just that he needed me to provide him with enough 'sacrifice', and I needed his method of cultivating stable pollution monsters.
“He knows that I want to kill him at any time and take all the profits, and I also know that he always wants to kill me and take this huge ‘sacrifice cabinet’ in the Green Olive District into his hands.
"Old sir, before you came, the relationship between me and the film maker had been in a very clever balance of mutual use. Your arrival tells me that the film maker has decided to break this balance. It seems that he
The things I was originally worried about are gone.”
Having said this, he paused, turned around, with his back to the bright city and the hazy night, his voice was a little hoarse,
"Old sir, when I was young, I also thought about changing the world, but reality tells me how humble and insignificant we are, and I can't change anything."
He raised his glass and looked at He Ao, "We are just mortals with rusty swords. We can never defeat the evil dragon that can cover the sky with its wings."
"So you chose to sit with the dragon?"
He Ao held his crutches in his hands, straightened his back, and stared at the boss of the Scorpion Gang.
"What's wrong with that?"
The boss of the Poisonous Scorpion Gang swung his wine glass and glanced at the gorgeous and expensive decorations around him, "In a world like this, the kinder the people, the more miserable and desperate they are."
He shook his head and laughed, "Okay, the review is over, old gentleman, now it's time to deal with things between us. I can give you that information for free."
The boss of the Viper Gang spread his hand, and a sticky tentacle of flesh and blood stretched out from his back, curling up the wine glass in his hand, "But you have killed so many of my people, and if you are allowed to leave this room alive, then what I have done for so many years
The prestige established by the underground world will be destroyed in one day."
"I'm afraid this reason is not enough for you to choose to do something to me."
He Ao looked at the leader of the Viper Gang, slowly stood up with a cane in his hand, and stood right in front of his granddaughter.
If your subordinates are gone, you can train them again. The worst thing in Green Olive Street is the gang members.
And with the power shown by He Ao, even if the boss of the Poison Scorpion Gang is confident that he can solve He Ao, he may still have to pay some price.
Moreover, the boss of the Poisonous Scorpion Gang actually has a hostile relationship with Shadow Tailor. At this level, he and He Ao have common interests. Letting He Ao deal with Shadow Tailor is the best choice for him.
So from his standpoint, he would not take action against He Ao easily.
Unless some off-site factors interfere with his choice, the benefits he gains are higher than the benefits he loses.
"Is it the film maker?"
He Ao looked at him and asked a supplementary question.
"Old sir, you are very smart,"
The boss of the Poisonous Scorpion Gang raised the bracelet in his hand, "Before you arrived, I sent your 'record' to the film maker."
"And just when you were reciting the 'story', the film maker sent you a message back."
He Ao said calmly.
Just now, the boss of the Scorpion Gang had been holding the red wine glass with the hand with the bracelet on it. When his back was turned to He Ao, he could use his body to block the light on the bracelet and the light reflected on the mirror.
"You noticed,"
The leader of the Viper Gang glanced at He Ao in surprise and said with a smile, "Old sir, I probably know why the film maker values you so much."
"It seems he gave you a price you couldn't refuse."
He Ao looked at him.
"yes,"
The Viper Gang boss laughed, and the sticky tentacles wrapped around the goblet in his hand, crushing the transparent glass to pieces, "Sometimes the boundaries between 'friends' and 'enemies' are so blurry.
"
His body slowly split vertically, and the tentacles surging in the middle tore into pieces his gorgeous and expensive-looking clothes. These tentacles extended upward, held his head, and 'plucked' his head from his neck.
Holding it in the air, he looked at He Ao and sighed,
"Old sir, if we had been together longer and the price offered by the film maker was lower, I might choose to take a gamble and cooperate with you. Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world."
He Ao used his spiritual consciousness to look at the twisted power in the monster in front of him like a turbulent current.
This power has reached the limit of C level, and even slightly exceeded it.
"Jia Xi!"
He Ao shouted loudly.
Jia Qian, who was well prepared, put her hands on the sofa, flipped directly behind the sofa, and retreated towards the door.
At the same time, He Ao activated his super memory and suddenly pulled out the butterfly knife from his chest.
Twisted tentacles covering the sky flew in.
He Ao raised his head and stared at the enemy in front of him. Countless twisted and chaotic lights and shadows like a kaleidoscope were pieced together behind the monster in front of him. They were tightly attached to the monster's body. They were the stitches of countless lives swallowed by it.
At this moment, He Ao could even hear twisted and chaotic thoughts murmuring in these shadows.
The power of super memory filled his body, and the beautiful metallic butterfly knife unfolded its blade.
In the past, when He Ao faced enemies of this level, he had usually been promoted to C-level. With the help of Super Memory, he could reach or exceed the limit of C-level in a short time.
