Schiller shook his head and said: "Remember, if you see me outside of school, don't talk to me... Oh, by the way, what's going on with the Capuchin Gang? Can you come to class on time tomorrow?"
Jason shook his head and said: "It's nothing serious. I heard that a big boss of the Twelve Family is looking for someone. You know, they rely on the children of Gotham to find people. The Capuchin Gang also wants to take this job. If you can get it,
There are many benefits, and it will also make it easier for us to get to know more people from big gangs, and life will be easier in the future..."
Schiller nodded and said, "Okay, although I think you should look at your career choice from a more prudent perspective, then if you feel you have the responsibility to do so, then go ahead."
Jason showed a rare smile and said, "Thank you, Professor, no one has ever said this to me. They just think that I am born to like gangsters..."
Schiller stood up and led Jason to the door. He said: "There are many people in this world who are involuntary and cannot do what they like. They will never fall in love with the job they are doing now.
, but now that the situation is like this, you might as well think about what you can learn from this kind of career that you don’t love.”
"What have you learned?" Jason scratched his head and said, "What can you learn from being a gangster?"
Schiller patted Jason on the shoulder and said: "Everything has its place to be learned, and now you have a suitable environment that allows you to slowly explore the path. Some people want to learn, but also want to learn."
Paying tuition?"
Jason nodded in understanding, and then he left the school.
He didn't ask Schiller to send him back, otherwise the kids on the street would know he was dealing with the professor, which would lower his reputation.
It's okay to go to school. After all, if you learn skills well, you can come back and teach others. But if you get too close to the upper class of society, are favored by them, or are adopted by them, then you can no longer be the king of children.
All the children here know that if you are adopted by a rich man, you will be away from this world forever, and you will never be responsible for the children in the gang. This is a fatal blow to any child king.
Therefore, Jason cannot let the children here know that he has a good relationship with a university professor. Otherwise, people in the gang will be panicked, thinking that he may leave here at any time, and gangs who have a bad relationship with him will also
Use this to spread rumors and ruin his reputation.
The Capuchin Gang is the second largest kid gang on this street. Jason is not the first boss. He did not establish this gang. It is just because he was born not far from here and was led by kids older than him.
After entering, he slowly sat in the boss's seat.
Jason felt that he had an unshirkable responsibility for the children here. After all, when he was a child, older children also went out to work to support him.
In Gotham, there are two ways for orphans to grow up.
The first is to be adopted by an adult gang member. After adoption, the son has to inherit his father's legacy and join the original gang.
Because the gang lacks fresh blood, they are more supportive of members adopting children. This is why Selena said that as long as she can wait in a safe house until she is discovered, she can survive.
Gangsters are very rough in raising children. They basically rely on the children's physical fitness, not to mention any education. They adopt them and provide them with food. When they grow up, they continue to work as gangsters. Occasionally, there are one or two with relatively good talents.
, you can climb up, and the adopter is considered lucky.
Another way is to be picked up by the older children who are helped by the children, run errands for them, support themselves, and raise themselves.
The good thing here is that the older children who help are more attentive, especially the older girls, who basically treat the children they have picked up as their biological brothers and take them with them in everything.
Mori was also raised in this way.
The entire Kids Gang atmosphere is very much like a big family. Brothers and sisters must take care of each other and help anyone who has difficulties.
However, one disadvantage of growing up is that it is easy for children to overeat one meal and not finish the next.
Although I grew up in a gang of adults, I was raised rough.
, sometimes there is no one to take care of them when they are sick, so they rely on their resistance, and the gang members don’t take care of them. Most of the time, the children are allowed to run wild on the streets, but at least they can eat enough.
The vast majority of stable gangs have enough to eat. Gangs with larger scales and more complete rules will even provide some subsidies to members with children to prevent them from growing up and being unable to work as thugs.
However, the children's gang does not have that much of a livelihood. Most of them run errands for big gangs. Before the snowstorm, the income of most of the children's gang was completely unstable. If they did not make any money today, everyone would have to starve together.
To put it simply, if you are adopted by a gang, you will grow stronger physically, but you will also lack education and cannot be well socialized, and you will easily develop a more extreme personality.
Growing up in a child's gang, one is relatively rich in spirit, well socialized, has a relatively stable personality, and has more collective consciousness and cooperative wisdom. However, if the nutrition is not up to par, the body will not be so strong.
Many people may think that being strong is more important in Gotham, but this is not the case.
A smart mind and a stable character make it easier to stand out among gang members, be selected by the superiors, participate in some decision-making, and then become civilian employees. After all, gangs cannot only have thugs, they also need civilian jobs.
Children raised in gangs have a high lower limit and a low upper limit. Children raised in gangs have a low lower limit but a high upper limit.
Many of the high-ranking members of the Twelve Families with foreign surnames came from the Children's Gang. After many people became successful, they would ask their subordinates not to embarrass the children of the Children's Gang. Therefore, only the Children's Gang with little resistance can exist in Gotham.
of streets and alleys.
The leader of the kid gang will set up a main base, usually in a cellar or basement, and then set up a temporary stronghold using containers and oil drums on the streets and at the end of the street. The more powerful ones can also get a few guns and distribute them to the gangs.
The oldest and strongest child among them took the lead.
However, according to Gotham's rules, kid gangs cannot fight each other. If anyone dares to shoot, he will be finished.
The sound of gunfire will alert the adult gangs who belong to this street. If they get involved, all the children will not be able to run away, so in most cases, they scare each other with guns and no one dares to pull the trigger.
The Capuchin Gang that Jason belongs to occupies a cellar with the best terrain conditions here.
The entrance to the base is at the end of an alley. The cellar entrance is very secret. After entering, the space is also very large. In addition to the storage room, there is also a basement connected to it. Above the basement, there is not a noisy nightclub or bar, but a gangster.
A warehouse used to store supplies.
The gangster will ask the children of the Capricorn Gang to help them keep an eye on the movements in the warehouse. For this, they will pay a small reward. This is also the minimum living security of the Capricorn Gang, allowing them to make ends meet when they have no work to do.
Being the youngest kid in the gang, Jason fought for this.
Jason opened the entrance to the cellar and climbed down gently. But as soon as he reached the ground, he heard a familiar voice. The little slicker came up and hugged him and asked, "Why did you come back just now?"
"Oh, Little Slippery? Why aren't you at school? Why do you want to come back today?" Jason turned his head and looked at Little Slippery in surprise and asked.
"Oh, it's like this. A few days ago, Sister Liuzhi got a broken truck. She wanted me to come back and see if I could repair the truck. If I could, I would make a lot of money."
Jason's eyes widened and he said, "A truck?! Oh my god! Where did she get it? Won't she get in trouble from other gangsters?"
"Who knows? But the eldest sister said that this car seemed to be abandoned because it was too damaged, but she took a few looks and thought it could still be used, so she called me back." After that,
The little slicker put his tool bag on his back and climbed up the ladder, with Jason following behind him.
Turning around an alley, we came to the back of the warehouse. There was a wasteland with not many people. The truck the little slicker mentioned was here.
From the outside, the car looked very dilapidated, but Jason, who had studied auto repair in school for two days, could see that there was still room for saving the car.
Look at Xiao Hua
Putting down the toolbox and starting to work, Jason waved his hand and said, "You go ahead and get busy. I'll go find Sister Tou. I have something else to ask her."
Jason went back around the back of the warehouse, then walked straight along the street, and walked to an alley on the street, where there was an older girl directing several children to work.
That is the six-fingered eldest sister in Little Hua Tou's mouth. She was born with six fingers and is also the oldest child in the gang. Her boyfriend is an official member of the gang next door. It is estimated that in a few years, the two will meet.
If you get married, you will officially leave the Children's Gang.
Jason found him and said, "Hey, sister, I'm back. You sent someone to the school to bring me a message, saying that the boss above was looking for someone. Can we do this job?"
The six-fingered sister turned around, raised her hair with her hand and said, "You're back? That's right, the old man who lives on the front street stopped me today and said that the boss wanted to find you, but you weren't here, so I let him
He told me that they are looking for someone in a hurry and the price they are offering is relatively high. If anyone can find someone, they will make a fortune!"
"Did he say who he was looking for?" Jason asked.
Sister Liuzhi shook her head and said, "You have to go there in person. I heard he is a stranger from out of town, so he should be easy to find."
After hearing this, Jason went to the gang station on this street. He used to come here often and became familiar with most of the people here. He said hello to the doorman and the gang members who came and went.
Sen ran in quickly, but before he could enter, he heard the gang boss talking to other people.
"...You all cheer up! Not to mention a foreigner, he is a fly or an earthworm, you have to catch him!"
"Do you know what stupid thing he did? He broke into the Falcone family's most important warehouse area in the middle of the night. Do you know where it is? It will be the future sub-center of the Falcone family's cold chain transportation industry.
Not long after it was put into use..."
"On the day the first batch of goods arrived, that reckless guy broke in. If you say he didn't do it on purpose, who would believe it?!"
"And I heard that the reason why Big Boss is so angry is because this guy pissed off Master Falcone..."
"In short, this job is very simple, but the benefits are very high. Whoever can complete it will definitely be exposed. Instead of you little bastards running around on the streets every day, why not spend your time on business. If you can really be led
Going to Falcone Manor would be a big deal..."
"Who is that outside the door??... Jason? Why are you here! Come in quickly? I was about to point at you. In my territory, little Jason is the only one who can let me borrow some light. He is a college student now.
..."
Jason was called in by the leader of the gang. In the past, he had a good relationship with the gang boss. The gang boss was also far-sighted. He saw Jason's difference and liked to leave some brain-intensive work to him.
.
After coming out of the room, Jason was given a name and a few descriptions of his appearance. But in fact, appearance is not important at all. As long as you know that he is an outsider, he must be easy to find. There are many differences in temperament between outsiders and Gotham locals.
Big gaps are as easy to distinguish as sheep breaking into a pack of wolves.
Returning to the Capuchin Gang's base, Jason gave an explanation, and at the same time he also carried out unprecedented mobilization. After all, this job seems to be simple and rewarding, and both young and old can participate.
, if they do well, it will also pave the way for their future future.
After the explanation, it was already late at night. Jason lay on the bed at the base and felt an unparalleled sense of peace of mind. This was his home, the place where he grew up. Only here could he sleep peacefully.
But this peaceful sleep did not last long. Less than three hours after he slept, Jason heard some strange noises in the hazy state. When he opened his eyes, he saw a person standing at the head of his bed.
Just as Jason was about to scream, a pair of hands covered his mouth, and his eyes widened in horror.
With the faint light in the room, he saw that the uninvited guest who broke in was wearing a red hood.
