"Meeting a friend? Who is it?" Scar asked casually with some surprise.
"Do you still remember Mark? He is the man who helped us kill Cage" I asked.
Scar and the others immediately remembered, "Remember, didn't he later take over Cage's position and take control of the power at the dock?"
I nodded, "Well, now he has been promoted and transferred to Bangkok. It really surprises me. I didn't expect that he really has the means to climb to Bangkok so quickly."
Scar asked even more strangely: "Then what does this have to do with? Why are we looking for him now?"
"Scar, you don't know that a lot of old Nick's business is smuggling, and he controls the smuggling industry in Bangkok Bay." As soon as I said this, Scar reacted immediately.
"Brother Xiao, do you want to start with Old Nick's smuggling business?" Scar suddenly realized.
I sighed and said: "There is only this opportunity, but it may not succeed. The key depends on how much power our Mr. Mark has."
Now that Old Nick has begun to suppress us from all aspects, I can't just wait to assassinate him in the dark night. My goal is not as simple as wanting him to die. What I want is for all his power to be destroyed.
In this case, I will adopt a two-pronged approach. As long as I can shut down or swallow up his smuggling business, then I will kill him again in the dark night, and I will be a little more sure that I can completely uproot his influence.
.
When he came to Bangkok, he found a hotel that was not too luxurious, just a little more upscale. Mark entertained some colleagues and friends here. He was promoted by leaps and bounds. He jumped from the local area to Bangkok Bay, the busiest and most lucrative place.
Of course, some necessary arrangements and treats are inevitable in this place.
I didn't make any big fanfare. On the one hand, there is a lion like Old Nick in Bangkok who always wants to eat me. On the other hand, there are some powerful people here, and the big tree attracts the wind.
If I show up too dazzlingly, I will definitely cause a lot of trouble. This is not my territory. I asked Scar to park the car and I called Mark.
"Mr. Mark, we are here..." I said calmly.
Mark on the other end of the phone was obviously very happy, and the environment was quite noisy. He seemed to be celebrating enthusiastically, "Mr. Xiao is here, okay, I will send someone out to pick you up right away..."
I interrupted him, "No, I won't go in. You know, it's not convenient. I'll just wait for you here."
Mark paused, then changed his tone and said in a low voice: "It seems a little inconvenient, but how dare you ask Mr. Xiao to wait? Well, just wait for me for a few minutes, and I'll be out right away."
After I hung up the phone, I lit a cigarette and waited quietly. After smoking almost two cigarettes, Mark walked out of the hotel and glanced around. I stretched out my hand to wave to him when he saw it.
He walked over quickly after that.
Mark opened the door and got in the car. I briefly asked, "Where are you going? This is not a good place to talk."
"Go to my house" Mark thought for a while and said to me.
I motioned for Scar to drive, and Mark pointed out the route. Along the way, we only briefly asked about insignificant matters, and I also expressed my congratulations to Mark on his promotion. Anyway, it was just some greetings that were neither salty nor mild.
Fortunately, Mark's current home is not far from here, in an ordinary residential area. After getting out of the car, Mark led us upstairs.
"This is your current home? You are quite sentimental." I casually glanced at the layout of the house and joked, reaching out to touch an oil painting on the wall.
Mark smiled, poured us each a cup of tea and said: "This place was purchased before I officially took office. No one knows about my place, and I don't often live here. I may live here in the future."
Not far from the pier”
I had a clear expression on my face, no one knew about a place like this, and Mark didn't live here very often. It was simply a good place to raise a lover in a difficult situation.
Mark also laughed dryly without explaining. I made a few teasing remarks and then asked him: "Mr. Mark, how much power do you have now?"
"I don't have too much power now. This place is divided into several departments. No one has the final say. But I am in charge of the last and most important step of import and export, which is inspection. If Mr. Xiao has
If necessary..." Mark said it without any concealment.
The implication is that if I need anything, he can help me within his scope. It seems that this Mark is not an ungrateful person. He still remembers the past, and he has a great influence on me today.
It doesn't matter, if I hadn't killed Cage, he might have only been an assistant for the rest of his life.
At that moment, I stopped beating around the bush and said: "Then let me tell you straight, I want to get involved in smuggling in Bangkok Bay..."
Mark was shocked, obviously surprised by my words, and asked in disbelief: "Smuggling in Bangkok Bay? As far as I know, this place has been controlled by Mr. Nick for many years..."
I said calmly: "I know, and I can tell you clearly that now Old Nick and I are on hostile sides, that's why I want to start smuggling in Bangkok Bay."
"What? Are you going to be an enemy of Nick?" Mark was obviously shocked. He almost jumped up and was a little excited.
It seems that Nick's name is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that it has almost become a gangster myth in Thailand. Mark was obviously very excited when he heard that Nick and I were enemies.
"Mr. Xiao, with all due respect, although your Poison family is quite powerful, Nick is too powerful, and this is Bangkok..." Mark calmed down and said tactfully.
I waved my hand and said, "You don't have to say it so tactfully. I know that Old Nick's strength is terrifying, and our current Poison Family is nothing compared to him..."
"Then you..." Mark didn't say the next words, but the meaning was obvious. I knew everything why I was still an enemy of Old Nick.
"You want to say why I dare to be his enemy? Sometimes it's not up to me. If he wants me to die and I don't want to die, then we can only become enemies. There can only be one person left between me and him..." I shook my head.
He said somewhat helplessly.
Mark said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Xiao, I, Mark, am today thanks to Mr. Xiao's help, but let me put it bluntly, I do not have such great power to shake Nick's smuggling business. He is too powerful.
It has been deep-rooted for many years, and I am not the one who has the final say here. There are many powerful people related to Nick..."
"What if these people die?" I said calmly.
"So there is a certain degree of certainty, but Nick is still facing a huge difficulty. This beast is too big." Mark said a little weirdly when he heard what I said.
"What if Nick dies too? Or he is about to die..." I dropped this sentence like a bomb.
Mark's face changed. It took him a long time to recover. He couldn't believe his ears. "What did you say? Nick is about to die..."
I nodded, "If nothing happens, news will spread that Nick died unexpectedly in a few days. Mr. Mark, don't worry, you just need to give me the greatest help within your rights, and then provide me with some Nick smuggling business."
news, nothing else needs to be done.”
Mark came back from the shock little by little and looked at me deeply. "I didn't expect that Mr. Xiao's methods are really powerful. Don't worry, I can't guarantee that I will deal with Nick, but I will provide it within my rights."
We will definitely do our best to provide help and information.”
"Thank you in advance, Mr. Mark. I will come to see you again in two days. I will need a lot of help from you then, so I will leave first." I stood up and said goodbye.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you properly yet? I believe that sooner or later this Bangkok Bay will be decided by you." I took a few steps and turned around, smiling at Mark and said.
Mark also returned to the way he was when we first met him, looking like he was not afraid of chaos in the world. He also smiled lightly at me, "I'm looking forward to that day coming..."
