Fogg took a heavy drag on his cigarette, and as a guest, Nekra smiled even more happily.
"Come on, Emerald City regulates lethal weapons," good guy Tommy poured cold water on everyone, "let alone military crossbows. You can't even get ten machetes in the city, so how can you swing a stick or swing it?
kitchen knife?"
"Let's rob the security hall, that way we can get weapons the fastest," Jia Jia said sarcastically, "or the Emerald Legion, they have the best weapons."
The entire warehouse fell silent.
"Well, everyone, I'm not saying this in a depressing way, but have you ever thought about it?" Zeka, the newspaper seller, wiped his glasses and stuffed the glasses cloth back into the pocket of his expensive coat, "If it were really made of black silk,
Why don’t you go directly to those of you who are in charge? Hmm? For example, cut your throat and hang you upside down?”
The bosses around the round table frowned
"It makes sense," good Tommy said slowly. "From what Roger said, it seems that all of us who died were thugs, street sweepers, bodyguards, and boxers..."
Sangare said angrily: "And my dog!"
Tarimi frowned and protested: "Hey, the person who died was my brother-in-law! My wife's biological brother!"
Jia Jia smiled beside him: "Yes, which wife is this? The seventh or the eighth?"
Zeka raised his hands to suppress the noise and continued:
"In short, you didn't suffer any big losses, and you didn't suffer any damage to your business. Isn't it a coincidence that I just allowed you to fully and plausibly come to Boss Fergus to denounce him and force him to seek revenge from the Brotherhood?
"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the scene changed.
"Newspaper seller, what do you mean?" Gutierrez said coldly.
"It's not interesting." Zeka shook his head.
"What he means is that this was all directed and performed by us street gangsters," Roger said angrily. "Anyway, they sitting behind the table counting money have nothing to lose, right?"
The atmosphere in the warehouse became tense.
In the corner of the warehouse, Glover turned around and whispered to Rolf: "I understand. This wave of attacks has divided them into two groups. The people who have suffered the most are those who need to go to the streets to make a living on their own and survive in the Emerald City.
They’re not very good, so they have the loudest voices.”
"Of course, maybe the Brotherhood's attack was just a pretext," the zombie whispered, "These people have long been dissatisfied with the distribution of benefits. Mute, are you listening?"
Rolf nodded.
He tried his best to force himself not to look at the man in the dark red coat.
"Ah, this is what's weird about me," Jaga, the bad shoemaker, snorted, "Shitdan, Gutierrez, Garmandia, you guys seem to be about to be wiped out by the black silks, but why are we
How many people will be fine? Can we still eat and drink?"
"Maybe it's because you're so fat that you go to the brothels? You don't even look down on the black silk men?" Gutierrez gritted his teeth.
"Maybe it's because they have made a good deal with the Black Silk Boys and won't touch their people," Garmandia sneered, "There are always many smart people in the Blood Bottle Gang, right?"
"Oh, then I guess all of your people were kidnapped in black silk and taken to the brothel?" Jia Jia retorted coldly.
"Speaking of the brothel," Zeka turned around, "Franco, your theater is very close to their territory. How about it? Have the girls seen any suspicious strangers?"
"No, the girls are all fine, except for one or two who accidentally got pregnant," Franco crossed his fingers, "business is as usual."
Zeka spread his hands:
"look?"
Gutierrez and Roger were furious and were about to fight back when Necra's voice rang again:
"Ah, I see!"
Everyone turned around and saw Red Viper looking suddenly enlightened.
"Thugs, street sweepers, bodyguards, boxers, hunters... those who disappeared, were kidnapped, and were attacked are all members of the gang who can fight in the streets," said Nekra. "This is the brotherhood's plan! From bottom to top.
, cutting off our wings does not seem to hurt our muscles and bones, but in fact it is paralyzing us and weakening the blood bottle gang's combat effectiveness step by step! When we react from 'business as usual', we will be defenseless and at the mercy of others!"
"Yes, I knew it!" Roger's eyes were filled with anger, "Black silk! We can't sit back and wait for death, we must pay with blood!"
boom!
There was a loud noise.
"Quiet, everyone!"
Fogg's fist hit the round table, and he stared at Nekra.
"Roger, Gutierrez, Garmandia, Tarimi, Sangare," he looked at his men one by one, "I know your losses, and I understand your feelings."
The bosses at the round table all looked at Fogg with different expressions.
"But don't forget..."
Fogg took a deep breath:
"We still have an armistice agreement with the black silk men, so we can't start the war lightly."
As soon as he said this, there was a burst of bored boos in the warehouse.
Roger said angrily:
"Armistice agreement? Damn it! They all openly went to the streets to attack our kidnappers! How many sunsets will there be an armistice? If only there were several sunsets!"
Gutierrez clenched his fists and looked livid:
"Boss, we are the Blood Bottle Gang!"
Jia Jia snorted coldly:
"Hey, this is when you remember that you are the Blood Bottle Gang."
Tarimi frowned and said:
"But of them, Hei Sizi was the first to violate the agreement."
"Yes," Sangaré gritted his teeth, "They killed my dog! Dog!"
"But don't forget, this is the Emerald City. If we act recklessly," good Tommy tilted his head, "the Police Department and the Emerald Legion will not give us good things to eat."
The warehouse was in chaos, people were filled with emotions, and the sinister voice of Red Viper sounded faintly again.
"Yes, the armistice agreement, the armistice agreement," Nekra said slowly, shaking his head, letting the noise in the warehouse gradually disappear, "it was signed by the great 'Phantom Blade' Kathleen, and we, the Blood Bottle Gang, will be obedient from now on and dare not touch
There is not a hair on the black silk."
The gangsters in the warehouse were breathing heavily.
Nekra looked at the ugly-looking Fogg with vicious eyes: "Everyone must understand that people like Boss Fogg who are wandering around and settling in all over the world, only Sister Katharine is following her lead and dare not go east when she says,
How dare you not abide by the armistice agreement?"
As soon as he said this, Fogg's eyes changed slightly, and the gang members present began to whisper.
Even the bosses looked at him differently.
"Red Viper!"
"This is not just about Kathleen," Fogg's eyes were cold, "It is an agreement between the Blood Bottle Gang and the Brotherhood. It is valid in the entire kingdom under the witness of the big shots."
Red Viper sneered.
"This agreement allows us to maintain a tacit understanding and live in peace," Jaga reminded. "It would be unwise to break it, let alone break it by us in the Emerald City."
"And we have no evidence," Fogg nodded and glanced around. "There is no evidence to prove that the Black Street Brotherhood was the first to violate the armistice agreement."
The atmosphere in the warehouse became increasingly tense.
"Does it matter?"
Nekra said solemnly: "Does it matter whether the Brotherhood did it?"
"Xiao Hong," Fogg frowned, "What do you mean?"
Red Viper smiled coldly, stood up and left his seat.
"What's really important is that the gangsters in Emerald City are now so panic-stricken that even the legend of water ghouls eating people has been brought out."
"It's important that some people and some things must take the blame for the attack on us and let the brothers vent their anger."
"The important thing is that we are the ones who get beaten, and we are the ones who suffer losses. If this blame cannot be passed on to outsiders..."
Nekra looked at the gang members in the warehouse:
"I mean, in front of the brothers who are looking forward to it, Fogg, you can't tell them that these kidnappings, murders and disappearances were all done by the Kevin Dill family, right?"
Fogg clenched his fists.
"The important thing is that at this moment, Fergie, you must do something, no matter what, to let the brothers see that you are still in control of the situation and are not overwhelmed yet," Red Viper looked at the silent Fergie,
He raised his index finger and tapped it in the air, "Whether it's war or peace, you have to show the courage of the boss of Emerald City. You can't be a coward, right?"
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
"Red Viper, you beast with a mouth full of poisonous fangs." Fogg narrowed his eyes. He had not touched his pipe for a long time.
Nekra smiled and said nothing.
"But what Boss Nekra said makes sense even though he is not a local." Garmandia sighed.
Everyone turned their eyes.
"Boss Fogg, you are the one in charge of the Emerald City. We all listen to you and support whatever you do." Garmandia crossed his arms, "But the brothers are bleeding, and you have to do something.
Whether it’s for human life, for business, or for the face of the Blood Bottle Gang.”
Fergie was silent.
Zeka, the newspaper seller, coughed:
"But guys, if we do what you said and gather the brothers to go to Beimen Bridge... do you understand what this means?"
"We don't want to start a war, we just want to stop the bleeding, seek an explanation from Black Silk, and recover our face and the brothers we lost." Guzarres gritted his teeth.
"Or lose more brothers?" Jia Jia sarcastically said.
"Then our people died in vain and their blood was shed in vain!" Roger protested.
"And my dog!" Sangaré echoed.
"of course not!"
This time, it was Fergie who spoke out.
He knocked on the table and stood up:
"Believe me, everyone, I have mobilized all my contacts and are processing it. There will be results soon! Whether it is our dead or missing brothers, their blood will not be shed in vain."
"Handle it? Boss, you told me the same thing the day before yesterday."
Garmandia hummed:
"But, Boss Fergie, do you dare to say that you are really 'dealing with' it?"
As soon as these words came out, the warehouse fell into silence.
Fogg was startled for a moment, then slowly turned back:
"Garmandia?"
Everyone looked at Garmandia.
"As far as I know, boss," Garmandia said coldly, "you have been helping people from yesterday to today, right? Your direct subordinates kidnapped a Lord named Bedren and brought him to
Get drunk and throw it into a murder scene in the Midas District, the wool merchant murder case that shocked the whole city, right?"
Many people were stunned when they heard this.
Only Glover was surprised.
The murder of the wool merchant in Midas District, isn't that...
Fogg looked at Garmandia in disbelief.
"That's right, Boss Fogg, just when our people are dying, disappearing, and being inflicted heavy losses by the black men one after another, we urgently need the boss to come out and lead," Garmandia gritted his teeth, "
You are actually still playing the old trick of playing house with the big shots, finding scapegoats for them, and wiping their butts! And you still tell everyone that you are 'dealing with it'?"
The warehouse became quiet.
Fergie was expressionless.
"Garmandia," Fogg said slowly, "divulge the news of the attack to Red Viper and ask him to come to the Emerald City to stir up trouble. You also have an idea, right?"
Garmandia's face turned pale.
"I respect you very much, Boss Fogg, but you really disappoint me and us," Garmandia swallowed, "and this is for the Blood Bottle Gang."
Fogg slowly raised his head and glanced at Garmandia, Roger, Gutierrez, Sangare and others. They all averted their eyes and did not dare to look at him.
"And you guys, right? You have already colluded to make this a mutiny."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jia Jia wanted to say something to soothe his cheeks: "Well, everyone, boss Fergie has actually worked very hard..."
"Shut up, shoemaker, before I stuff your shoe into your mouth." Gutierrez interrupted him coldly.
Nekra looked at everyone and smiled:
"I see, old Fogg, the reason why you have no time to pay attention to their complaints these days, the reason why you have no time to pay attention to such trivial matters as the death of someone in the gang, and the reason why you have no time to do justice for them is because you are here
Are you flattering others when running errands, especially those in Kongming Palace?"
Fogg glared at him.
"You know very well, Red Viper, you know the origins of Kevin Dill and the Blood Bottle Gang. It's not as simple as running errands," Fogg gritted his teeth. "It's something we must do if we want to survive in the Emerald City.
.”
"So, Boss Fergie, you are really," Roger looked at him disappointedly, "ha, you are really worthless."
At that moment, Gutierrez, Taremi, and Sangare all looked at Fogg with different eyes, and even Zeka and Jagalian did not dare to speak for him anymore.
"What has to be done? You mean sucking off Kevin Deere's ugly ass?"
Red Viper snorted: "Then when your gang was attacked by black silk and suffered countless casualties, why didn't you see Duke Zhan send the Emerald Legion to help them? Of course, I know, I have experienced it, because the big shot
We are too busy! We can’t take care of us little shrimps!”
Fogg gritted his teeth.
"Fogg, the brothers follow you for a reason, just like vassals follow the king. If you can no longer protect them, protect the interests and safety of the brothers, hoo hoo..."
Nekra stretched out his hand, passed his palms over the bosses at the round table one after another, and grinned:
"Then they have no choice but to find their own way out."
"A way out," Fogg snorted, "Red Viper, is this what you came for?"
"Wow, don't worry, Fergie, I'm not here to compete with you for business or territory..."
"Just here to seize class and power?"
"This is so narrow-minded, isn't it?" Nekra said with a smile, "We are all members of the Blood Bottle Gang, we are brothers."
Fogg hummed:
"So, does Kathleen know that you came to the Emerald City to seize power?"
"Hahahahaha," Nekra laughed loudly, "The way you ask this is like asking, 'Does mom know?'"
But in the entire warehouse, only Nekra was laughing.
"Go away, Red Viper," Fogg said coldly, "You are no longer welcome in the Emerald City."
Nekra waved his hand:
"Okay, Fergie, don't be a child. I know you also hate that bitch and don't want to be inferior to her. You know, we can cooperate, since the night of the war."
"roll!"
Fogg interrupted him angrily:
"Nekra, take your people and get out of the Emerald City now before I can't help but kill you!"
Nekra's expression turned cold.
"I think you didn't understand the situation, Fogg," Red Viper tutted, "You still think the Emerald City is yours?"
After he finished speaking, the men behind him all stepped forward with a frightening momentum.
"Admit it, Fogg, after Catherine went to the royal capital, these people went their own way. Apart from showing up on time, they probably didn't listen to you very much," Nekra said. "As you said, they only thought about it at this time.
Get up, you are in charge."
The bosses at the round table looked at each other, some sneered, some were confused, some were frightened, and some were uneasy.
"Now, the gang members in Emerald City are in trouble, and they need a boss," Nekra opened his arms and did his duty, "a strong and powerful boss who can lead them out of the predicament."
Fogg sneered, took a sip from his pipe, and exhaled heavily.
"I am the boss of the Blood Bottle Gang in the Emerald City, and the truce agreement between us and the Black Silks is still valid," the wanderer said solemnly, "as long as I am still here."
"That's not up to you, Fergie," Red Viper said unconcernedly, "Look at them, they are all exhausted and desperate. How many people do you think still support you here?"
Fogg frowned and looked around: Zeka, Franco, Tommy... Their expressions were frightened and their postures were shrinking. They were probably all thinking about how to escape safely.
Damn it.
The gangsters in the warehouse had different expressions, some were moving forward, some were retreating, and some were holding weapons.
"I guess the idol is shattered." Glover said sarcastically to the frightened Tsimikas.
He lowered his head and whispered to Rolf
"The situation is not good, we will escape later when we see an opportunity."
But Rolf didn't answer him. The mute just stared at the red viper in the field.
At this moment, a figure stood up unexpectedly next to Fogg,
"roll."
Everyone was stunned, including Fergie.
At the round table, Douro looked at Nekra across from him calmly:
"Nikla, oh, no, Xiaohong, Boss Fogg said, let you go."
Glover patted Tsimikas who was stunned again:
You are the boss enough.
Red Viper was startled, but after he saw the person opposite him clearly, his expression changed:
"Ah yo yo, isn't this our beloved Captain Douro?"
"Everyone, listen, this is Cusack Duro!"
Nekra looked surprised and announced to everyone with a smile:
"When I was a 'freak' in Xihuang, my comrade fought side by side through life and death! Believe me, you won't want to fight with him! Hahahahaha!"
But he was the only one who laughed, and Douro just looked at him coldly.
"Very good, we are all acquaintances," Fogg said coldly, "There is no need for introductions when the fight starts."
"Yes, a familiar person, too familiar," Nekra's smile gradually turned sinister, "many years ago, he was the one who reported me and drove me out of the Blade Tooth Camp."
"You should be glad that I showed mercy, Xiao Hong," Douro said without showing any signs of weakness, his left arm began to tighten, "If the Baron knew what kind of money you were greedy for, you wouldn't just be whipped out of the camp as easily."
"I know, I remember it," Nekra sneered and took off his coat, "I will always remember your whip."
But his voice changed:
"But, Douro, why did you end up in this situation? Could it be that you were also greedy for money and were driven away by the baron? Hahahahahaha!"
Douro's expression changed.
"But it doesn't matter. You are not the first Western Wasteland soldier to join the Blood Bottle Gang, nor will you be the last," Nekra narrowed his eyes and said, "Work hard, maybe you can get ahead?"
Following their actions, everyone in the warehouse also reacted:
With the round table as the center, people from both sides of Nekra and Fogg gradually gathered and faced each other. The rest of the people either watched nervously or prepared to escape.
Among the chaotic gang members, Glover grabbed Rolf and said, "Don't hesitate when it comes to fighting. See the right opportunity and run away."
But before he finished speaking, an angry Tsimikas squeezed over and said, "You guys"
His expression changed and he said flatteringly:
"Can you take me with you?"
In the center of the warehouse, the bosses left the table one after another, stood in line, or fled, but it was obvious that the Red Viper side had more people.
"There's no discussion, right?" Fogg said solemnly.
Nekra took a knife from his subordinate:
"If you just withdraw obediently, there will be no need to discuss it."
Fogg snorted coldly:
"If I remember correctly, we and Hei Sizi lost a battle in the royal capital a few years ago."
"Yes, it's a big battle."
Nekra nodded and said:
"But the war is not only decided by one battle. Yes, the black silk men have temporarily gained the upper hand in the Royal Capital... But we are the Blood Bottle Gang. We not only have the Royal Capital, our people are still in the Emerald City and in the ruins.
, in Huigang, in Renling..."
"I understand," Fogg sneered, "Someone's goods can't be sold in the capital, and you want to find another market?"
"The Blood Bottle Gang needs such 'goods', and I can provide them just right."
"You are so bold, can you kill the Black Sword?" Fogg took a dagger from the hand of his henchman.
Nekra smiled and shook his head:
"Don't be so rude, we are civilized people. And we don't need to win in one battle. On the contrary, we start from every place and every industry, just like they attacked us in the first place, making them worry about one thing and the other."
At this moment, a female voice suddenly came:
"And then lose the battle like before, annihilate the whole army, and self-destruct?"
At that moment, everyone was stunned.
Nekra trembled slightly and turned around.
Footsteps sounded, and a neatly armed woman walked out of the darkness. Surrounded by a group of gang members and under everyone's surprised eyes, she simply walked into the venue.
Glover found strangely that at this moment, Rolf, who was dragged by him like a zombie, had color in his eyes again.
At that moment, Nekra looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes widened in disbelief:
"Kay, Kathleen?"
Correspondingly, Fogg smiled.
The gang members were in an uproar.
"Sister Kathleen!"
"The newspaper seller" Zeka immediately called out the boss's name, feeling surprised and happy.
"Big sister!"
"Sister!"
"Very good!"
"Boss Kathleen!"
The gangsters in the warehouse called out Catherine's name one after another, with both surprise and joy.
The most powerful leader of the Blood Bottle Gang, "Phantom Blade" Kathleen calmly raised her hand in response to everyone's shouts, inadvertently revealing the metal sleeve claws hidden under her sleeves.
Glover frowned, feeling that the mechanical shape under the sleeves looked familiar.
The next second, Kathleen calmed down the gang members and turned to Nekra.
"Tell me, Xiaohong, if you succeed in seizing power, what are you going to do?"
"Gather a group of people with deep hatred and hatred, go to Beimen Bridge to kill Lazanchi, break the truce, and then wait for Qincha or Roda, or even Black Sword to come to the Emerald City with their people and chop you into pieces.
Meat dregs?"
But Nekra, who had just faced Fogg with ease, was just looking at Kathleen in shock, speechless.
Katherine snorted disdainfully:
"No, for such a big movement, you will be crushed into powder by the Security Hall or the Emerald Legion before then, including you, the evil ones who were brainwashed by him."
The men behind Red Viper looked at each other in confusion.
Nekra took a deep breath and finally spoke:
"Kathleen? No, when will you"
"When did you come to Emerald City? Oh, it's too early," Kathleen sneered. "When I was just a street thief, I joined the Blood Bottle Gang in Emerald City and followed Boss Bot."
"You have to know that I made my fortune from here, Xiaohong," Kathleen's eyes were on fire. "Especially when you want to start from my lair and cause trouble for me, you should know."
She said coldly:
"The Emerald City is mine."
At that moment, Glover had a feeling: the situation in the warehouse had changed again.
No.
Nekra breathed in a daze, but he understood something and looked to the other side in disbelief:
"Ferg!"
"Did you find her in advance?"
Red Viper looked around and gritted his teeth: "Is this you, you and her, the trap you set for me?"
"Don't look at me, you know I don't like her either," Fogg laughed, and he raised his pipe again, "But declaring war on black silk? Haha, Xiaohong, this is a bit too much."
