"If possible, I don't want the security situation in Atlanta to continue to deteriorate."
There was a hint of helplessness in Li Mochen's voice: "But Uncle Franks, you should know the situation. I still haven't found any trace of Ha Rou'er, my poor cousin."
"I understand, so the war between you and Antonio will continue."
Franks said clearly: "But can the harassment of the entire Blood Hand gang be stopped? The employment commissions you issued at the Cardinal Club, although they did not cause any actual casualties, caused public panic. I know.
Many people over there don’t even dare to take to the streets now. Of course, those guys from the Blood Hand Party will also make a promise to strictly maintain neutrality between you and Antonio. Neither they nor their subordinates will do anything for Antonio again.
Draw your gun."
This was exactly what Li Mochen wanted, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his words, "Is that all? You should know how much I paid for this war?"
"They will help you find the whereabouts of Hazel. Well, I doubt this, but at least they can help you eliminate some suspicious locations. Also, in the future, any store you open in the southern part of Dongcheng District will be free of charge.
of protection, you have earned their respect."
Franks chuckled: "You can't ask them to cede land and pay compensation, right? I believe you don't want to get involved in this quagmire. As for money, that is even more impossible. The Craig Community Bank you robbed has already caused them a lot of losses.
A lot of money."
"I'm really not interested in their territory."
Li Mochen raised his eyebrows: "But it would be too bad to stop the war like this, Franks, what if I refuse?"
"Andre! You are a very smart boy."
Franks sighed: "You should understand that the reason why those big families and business giants have not responded until now is because of Dwight Payton; and the second is because your private army has never taken the initiative to attack ordinary people.
Although the impact was huge, there were not too many fatalities and injuries; thirdly, because the matter had nothing to do with them, they were unwilling to bypass the police and FBI to intervene. But Dongcheng's situation
If the confrontation continues, it will not be what they want to see. Andre, you have to know that even now I don’t have the capital to challenge them. If they are willing, they can easily destroy your men.
Those private armies. The police and the FBI must adhere to the rule of law, rules, and discipline, but those people, if they want to take action, they don’t care about this. And--"
"Okay, I can probably guess what the consequences will be."
Li Mochen sighed: "But I think the Blood Hand must at least make some changes? For example, they will no longer sell drugs, like your Teutonic Cross?"
This is not because of his naive thinking, but because he is driven by profit. If he can really do it, then his ‘Shenxiao Spiritual Luck Purple Gold Pagoda’ will definitely receive a lot of merit.
"Do you want to learn from our Teutonic Cross?"
Franks laughed: "But I control the Laurel Street black market now, and they don't. Andre, I didn't expect you to have such naive ideas now, which is very interesting. But you have to know that even our Teutonic Cross
The group is not completely banning drugs. There are some little bosses down there who are secretly selling drugs, and I can’t do anything about it. Ah Mo, Atlanta is more than just a bloody place.
The Dang family is creating drug addicts, and the existence of a large number of drug addicts will inevitably require considerable drug supply channels. With this supply and demand relationship, even if the Blood Hand no longer sells drugs, other gangs will rise in Dongcheng.
At that time, the situation will only become more chaotic, right? Ah Mo, our power is far from being able to formulate and change the rules."
"I probably understand, but I still don't want to let them go."
Li Mochen rubbed his brows with his fingers: "Let's do this. The Blood Hands will collectively raise money to the Atlanta Police Disability Foundation and the Atlanta Student Aid Foundation to donate 3 million gold shields. I think this condition is not too much. This is my bottom line.
Franks.”
"Can!"
Franks agreed enthusiastically: "I will negotiate the terms with them. As the defeated party, they will have to pay a sum of blood. I think those big shots will like your proposal very much. You are very smart, Andre."
"Besides this, the war between me and Antonio is not over."
Li Mochen said in a dilemma: "If I want to save people from his hands, then a battle with them must break out. This is unavoidable. So this is just a ceasefire against the Blood Hand——"
"You don't need to worry about this."
Franks interrupted Li Mochen with a smile: "They have agreed to temporarily grant you the dimensional division authority to use the Atlanta City Magic Tower Array to divide the battlefield. However, this authority can only be used to target Antonio. If you use
If you are elsewhere, you have to understand the consequences."
"Great Demonic Tower Array?"
Li Mochen subconsciously glanced at the floor-to-ceiling windows not far away, looking at the bright moonlit night sky.
He knew that there were actually twenty-four magic towers floating in the sky above Atlanta. They formed a huge magic array to protect the safety of this huge city.
It was a defense facility built after World War II. Its original intention was to fight against the Soviet Union's magic intercontinental missiles during the Cold War. However, at present, the main function of this 'Big Magic Tower Array' is to prevent creatures from the dark world from invading the light world.
Because the consumption of the 'Great Magic Tower Array' is too huge, when operating at full capacity, it can consume more than one billion golden shields in one hour. Therefore, these twenty-four magic towers currently only maintain the lowest level of magic energy circulation.
But even so, the 'Great Magic Tower Array' consumes more than 50 million gold shields a day. Part of it is allocated by the government, and part of it is raised by the city of Atlanta.
Therefore, the city of Atlanta has set up a special "Great Magic Tower Array Committee" to manage the daily expenses and maintenance of the twenty-four magic towers. A small part of the members are from the government, and the rest are from prominent families in Atlanta.
With the top consortium. This is because at least two-thirds of the maintenance funds for this 'Big Magic Tower Array' rely on the taxes and donations paid by the latter.
As for the dimensional division authority that Franks mentioned, dividing the battlefield, the situation was actually similar to when they robbed the Craig Community Bank. The difference was that they had to bury the dark world in advance before taking action against the Craig Community Bank.
Runestones, arrange the 'Dimensional Traction' array.
And if he can have the dimensional division authority of the Great Demon Tower Array, then there is no need to be so troublesome. It can be done with just one command. By temporarily dividing the place that needs to be a battlefield from the interior of Atlanta, this can be effectively avoided.
Surrounding buildings and citizens were implicated.
There have always been constant disputes among the famous nobles in Atlanta. However, in recent decades, Atlanta has not had any major disasters caused by outlaw-level battles. This is due to the invention of the Dark Rune Stone.
, the second is the completion of the 'Great Magic Tower Array'.
"What shall I say? Uncle Franks, they flatter me."
"This is inevitable. The strength in your hands has barely reached the point where you can cause damage to the city of Atlanta."
Franks said in a disapproving tone: "But this is only a temporary authorization, there is no need to get too excited. They haven't really recognized you yet, Andre, you are not qualified to be one of the powerful people in Atlanta, so keep working hard.
Lucky little guy! EMM~, Andre, if you have no objections, we have reached an agreement now, right?"
