Chapter 848 The Master of Southeast City
Most of the big and small forces in the southeastern city gathered in this tavern today. It was crowded and looked very lively.
However, Zhang Heng knew that the people who could really make the decision were not here, but sitting on the second floor. They asked middle-aged Jews to host the party, and quietly listened to the quarrels and noises downstairs, only speaking when necessary. Only when the time comes will they speak out, and their voices are the real voices, and they are also the voices Zhang Heng hopes to hear.
The middle-aged Jew sneered when he heard this, "Is Mr. Lockyd something you can see if you want to?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a young girl walking down from the second floor. She looked at Zhang Heng and said curiously, "You are the gladiatorial champion of Flaviy Amphitheater, the mysterious oriental from the distant empire. ?"
"It sounds like I was right." Zhang Heng nodded.
"There are rumors that you are the incarnation of a certain god in the human world. You have wings on your back and can soar in the sky, but you seem to be no different from ordinary people." The girl seemed a little disappointed.
"I folded my wings so as not to scare my friends."
The girl heard the words and let out a sneer of laughter, "You men just like to tell lies, but for the sake of you treating us as friends, come up here, grandpa wants to meet you."
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." Zhang Heng stood up from his seat after hearing this and followed the girl to the second floor.
There was a look of reluctance on the middle-aged Jew's face, but he knew the girl and knew that this was Lockyd's decision, and the most important rule as a member of the Jewish gang was to never question Lockyd's decision. Yes, so he closed his mouth and said nothing, but respectfully watched the two of them go upstairs.
As the girl walked, she leaned close to Zhang Heng's ear and whispered, "My grandfather hates dishonest people the most, so you must not lie when you see him later."
"Thanks for reminding me, but I always like to tell the truth." Zhang Heng replied.
"Well... I think we'll find out soon." The girl smiled.
The two quickly climbed to the second floor. To Zhang Heng's expectation, there were only four people on the huge second floor.
Three of them were sitting in front of a long table. The main seat was an old man who was probably in his early sixties. He had a typical Jewish appearance and short brown-black hair, but most of it had turned white. He had a wide forehead and an eagle. A hooked nose, deep eye sockets, and a pair of sharp eyes that seem to be able to see through everyone's heart.
Needless to say, he should be Lockyd, the current boss of the Jewish gang, and the most important figure in the entire southeastern city. Lockyd's rise is a living legend. He was born in an ordinary Jewish civilian family. His father He died very early, and his mother had to start a flesh and blood business to support the family's three children. As the eldest son, Lockyd also started making money early. He worked as a thief and as an apprentice in a blacksmith shop. I went around the streets collecting urine from laundry rooms and cleaning sewers...
In short, he has done everything that can make money, and it was not until he joined the Jewish gang at the age of sixteen that his life gradually improved. But at this time, fate played a cruel joke on him. They died one after another in the plague, and then his only remaining brother also died in a gang conflict.
And until he was thirty years old, Lockyd was just an inconspicuous little player in the Jewish gang, with only five subordinates at most.
Then there was the legendary battle. At that time, the boss of the Jewish gang was betrayed by his men, assassinated, and fled all the way to the temple. There was no one around him. At this time, Lockyd took his own Two brothers collect money at the market in front of the temple.
The three of them protected the desperate boss. No one knew how they withstood an enemy several times their size. When follow-up help arrived, they were all bloody men. Lockyd's two men didn't even Only Lockyd could hold on until the doctor arrived. Later, he was appreciated by the Jewish gang boss at the time, rose through the ranks, and finally succeeded in taking over the largest force in the southeastern city after the latter's death.
All the street kids in the Southeast District regard Lockyd as their idol, and hope that one day they can make a career like Lockyd.
To Lockyd's left is a man from West Capri who is about the same age as him and is concentrating with his eyes closed. He is the boss of the Golden Crown, the second largest force in the southwest city. His main income is lending and rent collection, and he is not as numerous as him in terms of numbers. Jewish gang, but their wealth is even greater, and more than half of the real estate and shops in the southwest city belong to Golden Crown.
Sitting on Lockyd's right is a young man. Unlike the two people around him, he looks very young. He is about the same age as Zhang Heng. He has an innocent smile on his face, which makes people suspect that he is just someone sitting here. He is a family member, but in fact he is the mouthpiece of the third largest power hive in the southwest city.
No one knows who the boss of Beehive is, and no one knows how many people there are in Beehive, and what their businesses are. The only thing that is certain is that Beehive is the oldest force in the southwest city. They are everywhere, and everyone around you has them. They may be from Beehive. Even the Golden Crown and the Jewish Gang have many people from Beehive, so nothing in the southwest city can be hidden from Beehive. In addition, there are rumors that all assassins in the southwest city are related to Beehive.
The young man here is one of the few members of the Beehive who is on the bright side, and is responsible for communicating with various forces. He calls himself a megaphone.
As for the fourth person, he did not sit at the table, but stood aside and poured wine for the three people present. He looked like a waiter in a tavern, but Zhang Heng’s eyes stayed on him the longest, because Zhang Heng Heng found that he couldn't see his strength.
No wonder the three of them were sitting on the second floor so carelessly, without any additional guards.
"Zhang Heng, recently in the southeastern city, no, it should be said that the entire city of Rome has been discussing your name." The first person to speak was actually the microphone of the honeycomb. He smiled and said, "Two months ago, you were still defending Gladiators in the Kedo Arena immediately began to serve His Majesty the Emperor after gaining their freedom. It is said that His Majesty valued you very much. When you were still a gladiator, he paid a private visit to you incognito. Naturally, you didn’t want to do this first. An errand was ruined.
"So when you joined the patrol, you immediately started to cause trouble. First, you forced Tie Xiao and his men to attack you, and then you supported the thief named Soap to be your puppet. It was very clever, because the identity of the patrol was unknown. There is no way to directly annex and digest those territories, otherwise it would have attracted our attention long ago. And you are very cautious. You also found five gangsters you knew before and formed an anti-patrol alliance. Firstly, you can check and balance Soap, and secondly, you can also You can take the opportunity to eliminate the unstable factors in the two forces, and then you can expand the patrol team aggressively.
"Your series of actions successfully attracted the attention of Mr. Lockyd, and we sent you an invitation. But unfortunately, you went to find your political ally Clinder, and then the Senate reported There are rumors that His Majesty the Emperor wants to attack the southeastern city. Am I right? By the way, what you had in the morning was focaccia, honey and bread. You don’t like the bread because it is too toasted. ”
