Chapter 1377 It’s not just because of his deceased wife!
The reason why Smith killed Mark at that time.
It's definitely not just because of his deceased wife.
The power system of the Black Hawk Gang consists of two parts. As the largest gang on the sea, the reason why the Black Hawk Gang is famous is not just because of the achievements of this group of people on the island.
The way others can learn about the Black Hawk Gang is through mercenary groups like Smith.
The names Black Fang and Black Crow are even more useful in some places than the Black Hawks themselves.
This is why when Ye Chen, Smith and others first met, the drug lord from Dongyun Kingdom tried every means to join forces with Isoh Abe to remove Smith from the captain's position.
The reason is very simple. As long as you can enter the hundreds of mercenary groups of the Black Hawk Gang, it is equivalent to successfully infiltrating one of the two major power systems of the Black Hawk Gang.
For more than ten years, the reason why Wesley has been able to hold his position as the head of the Black Hawk Gang so securely is because of Mark's contribution.
Without him, the first captain, leading the mercenaries to rob and smuggle.
Naturally, the name of the Black Hawk Gang will not be so loud.
Of course, Mark and others acting in such a high profile outside will naturally arouse dissatisfaction and even jealousy from other gangs.
Although the number of mercenaries headed by Mark, the first captain, was large, at best they were just ordinary people with slightly higher physical fitness than the average person.
And as mercenaries, they generally don't have much cohesion.
Everyone comes just to live a happy life.
No one would be willing to risk their lives for such a mercenary group, and running away in the middle of battle would be regarded as having friendship with the leader of the mercenary group.
Smith even heard of several leaders of mercenary groups being betrayed by their own subordinates.
After being lured into the territory of other gangs, everyone in the mercenary group was recruited, except for the leader, who was sunk into the trench.
Therefore, if a mercenary group like them really fights with other gangs, there is no chance of winning.
At this time, the Black Hawk Gang headed by Wesley will officially appear as the backers behind the mercenary group.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current paper strength of the Black Hawk Gang is one that all gangs must look up to.
There are nearly fifty warriors, including Wesley, one of the warriors in Dzogchen.
Talents with special hidden elements are hidden behind the scenes, and the details are unknown.
It is precisely because of these objective factors.
So even though Mark has been so domineering at sea these years, no one dares to retaliate against him.
In the final analysis, he is still afraid of Wesley's strength.
But I said it just now.
The Black Hawk Gang's power system consists of two parts.
The Black Hawk Gang represented by Wesley, the so-called "strength", only accounts for part of it.
The other part is the "prestige" represented by Mark. This is another part of the power of the Black Hawk Gang.
Just as Mark needs Wesley's strength support, Wesley also needs Mark's reputation support.
As a gang organization, the Black Hawk Gang's annual personnel losses and financial expenditures reach almost a terrifying astronomical figure.
Not to mention that Wesley, led by Heizi, has been secretly researching over the years, an injection of medicine that can directly allow ordinary people to become warriors.
Although the benefits of this medicine are huge, the cost is equally huge.
Therefore, if the mercenary group led by Mark and others cannot recruit new members for the Black Hawk Gang, as well as make huge profits through arms sales, smuggling, and even human trafficking.
Even if Wesley has great hands and eyes, he can only be regarded as a gang leader at best.
It is impossible for the Black Hawk Gang to become the largest gang in the sea today.
In other words, there is nothing wrong with Mark having a pair of arms disabled by Wesley and becoming a cripple.
Although the first captain of the Blackhawks has now become Smith, there is nothing wrong with that.
But as long as Wesley is not dead, as long as the backer behind Mark is still alive.
Nothing will change.
Mark still holds great power in his hands.
As long as Mark is alive, it will be impossible for the Black Hawk Gang to reorganize the power system.
Monroe's desire to snatch the taste of the Black Hawk Gang leader from Wesley and Heizi is even more idiotic.
The reason why Smith wanted to shoot across the sea was not just for his wife.
To avenge the woman who was killed by Mark ten years ago.
It’s for Monroe, for Ye Chen, and for the future of the Black Hawk Gang.
Heizi has not been back to the Black Hawk Gang for more than ten years. In his eyes, whether it is Smith or Mark.
Both of them are just the leaders of two mercenary groups.
For the Black Hawk Gang, they are two little people who can be replaced at any time.
And it is even more impossible for Monroe, the accountant who has been in charge of the Black Hawk Gang's finances for more than ten years, to know that Mark, the so-called "First Captain" of the Black Hawk Gang, actually has such great power.
Only Smith knows.
If Mark is not killed at that time.
You will never have any chance again.
After Wesley comes out of confinement, he will definitely defend Mark just like Mengya defended Zhao Hailong to the death.
In this way, even Heizi, before the completion of the Corpse King, would probably only put Mark and Zhao Hailong in an underground prison at the same time in order to stabilize Wesley.
But that's not enough.
When people from Mark's group knew that Mark was not dead, they would naturally all switch to Wesley's side.
As a result, it was impossible for the weak Monroe to survive the fight between Wesley and Sunspot.
So, he killed Mark.
The purpose is to convey a message to everyone in the mercenary group.
Now, the first captain of the Black Hawk Gang has officially been replaced!
In fact, the chain effect of killing Mark was exactly the same as Smith's plan.
Over the past few days, many people have begun to secretly contact him and Abe Isoh.
Most of the guys are remnants of Mark's old gang.
Although it is true that these people are only peripheral members of the Black Hawk Gang.
But they do know the core intelligence of Mark, Wesley and even the Black Hawk Gang over the years.
They used these things as a declaration of surrender, hoping to get Smith's protection so as to ensure that they would not be purged from the Black Hawk Gang no matter who was in power in the future.
The reason why Abe Ishigo did not follow Smith here today is because he was processing the massive amount of intelligence conveyed by these people.
Looking back at Monroe's side, it was indeed the first time she realized that a peripheral mercenary group like the Black Hawk Gang's subordinate fleet actually held such huge power.
To put it bluntly, the current value of Smith is probably only Wesley, who has just come out of isolation...
And now I know it.
Looking at the smiling man in front of her, Monroe swallowed lightly.
