Chapter 1,722 Underworld Conference (1)
1722
This all happened very quickly. From the attacker appearing to launching the attack to being stabbed in the neck with his own spikes, the whole process only took two or three seconds.
Quinn stood there with a cold face and said nothing.
Lum grabbed the attacker's arm and swung it aside.
The attacker was thrown away and fell heavily to the ground.
Blood continued to gush out from the opponent's neck. The attacker kept struggling and seemed to want to escape, but in the end he passed out due to excessive blood loss.
The blood continued to flow, and in less than a minute, the attacker would be dead. However, no one paid attention to the attacker.
"Let's go." Quinn said and walked forward into the hotel. Then, Lum, Cobra, and Xu Taiping also walked into the hotel. As for the attacker, he soon disappeared. , several people walked up to the attacker and beat the attacker directly. As for the blood on the ground, it was all integrated into the black soil. Apart from making the soil darker, there was no trace left. No other traces.
"Do you know why the underworld conference is held here? Because there are no police here." Quinn said with a smile as he walked.
No police?
Xu Taiping had heard Quinn mention it before. At that time, he thought it was unlikely because it was a town after all. But now it seems that maybe as Quinn said, there are no police in this place.
"This is a paradise for criminals. Many people who have committed crimes in other states will come here and live here because there are no police here. Of course, it is wrong to say there are no police. I heard that there are still two police. However, one of these two policemen is still a wanted criminal in Los Angeles, didn’t you expect that?” Quinn said with a smile.
Quinn's men looked at each other in surprise. It was really magical that a wanted criminal from Los Angeles came here to work as a police officer.
"Quinn!" A rough voice suddenly remembered.
Xu Taiping looked around and saw a fat middle-aged man, only about 1.6 meters tall, walking towards Quinn from the corridor with a few men.
"Isn't this Fran?" Quinn walked up with a smile and shook hands with the other party.
"You're a little late." The man named Fran said.
"Fortunately, it's not dark here anyway, no matter how late we come, it's not too late," Quinn said.
"I just heard that someone assassinated you at the door?" Fran asked.
"You are quite well-informed." Quinn smiled.
"Haha, I just heard about it. How's it going? Boss Quinn, are you not injured?" Fran asked.
"Of course not," Quinn said.
"The person next to you should be the legendary Mr. Lum, right?" Fran asked, looking at Lum.
Lum's face was solemn and he said nothing.
"Fran, I'm a little tired. Let's go to the room to rest first. We'll contact you later!" Quinn said.
"Okay, okay, you go and have a rest!" Fran said, glanced at Xu Taiping and others, then smiled and walked out.
"Let's go." Quinn said, walking to the side of the stairs.
Not long after, Quinn arrived at the room he had booked.
The room is still very luxurious, it is a suite. Quinn and all the people under him will live here.
Lum began to search the suite as soon as he entered the suite, while Xu Taiping sat in the living room with Quinn and others.
"Didn't you think of investigating the attacker?" Xu Taiping asked.
"There is no need to investigate. Every year at the beginning of the conference, there will be attackers of one kind or another. It is useless to investigate." Quinn said.
"Why?" Xu Taiping asked.
"These attackers are usually hired by our enemies. Their purpose is very simple. It's best if they can kill us. If they can't kill us, they can also try out the masters we hired. If they feel that the people we hired are not strong enough, , they will arrange stronger people to assassinate. If they feel that the people we hired are strong enough, then they will probably give up. This happens in every underworld conference, so just now Mr. Lum directly took action to kill the opponent. The purpose of killing is to deter the person behind the attacker," Quinn said.
"That's it!" Xu Taiping suddenly realized, and then said, "Why are there no police here?"
"I don't know either." Quinn shook his head. "Maybe it's because the environment here is not good and the welfare is not good."
"Then this is really a paradise for criminals." Xu Taiping said.
"Of course." Quinn said with a smile, "This place is sparsely populated. If people commit crimes in other states and come here to hide, almost no one will come to arrest them. There are also people under our command who often come here to hide from the limelight."
"Rockfield, are you staying in this hotel too?" Xu Taiping asked.
"It should be, I don't know, but the Rexxar family will hold a welcome banquet for all of us attending the underworld conference later. We should be able to see him later," Quinn said.
"Lexar family?" Xu Taiping looked at Quinn curiously.
"The Lexa family is a mafia family. As you know, our gangs in the United States originally originated from European mafia. Hundreds of years ago, several mafia families came to the United States one after another. After many years of With the development, almost all mafia families have split. The only one that has been passed down intact to this day is the Lexa family. Therefore, the Lexa family has a very high status in our country, and we also We call them our family. Our underworld conference is led by the Lexa family. The Lexa family is also the organizer of the underworld conference. Therefore, the first welcome dinner of each underworld conference is Hosted by the Lexa family,” Quinn explained.
"So that's it!" Xu Taiping suddenly realized, "I don't know much about gangs, so I haven't heard of the Rexxar family."
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. The Rexxar family only has a respected position. Their territory is not big now, and they haven't produced a very powerful person in so many years. They are considered in decline." Quinn said.
"When is the welcome dinner?" Xu Taiping asked.
"It should be soon. Someone will notify you then! We just have to wait patiently," Quinn said.
While they were chatting here, Rum also completed the inspection of the entire room and came to the living room.
"The room is clean." Rum said, sitting next to Quinn.
"Each boss can bring three of his subordinates to the welcome dinner today. Then you three will follow me in." Quinn pointed to Lum, Cobra, and Xu Taiping.
Lum glanced at Xu Taiping. Xu Taiping didn't speak much along the way. He was very low-key and inconspicuous at all.
"Just take me with you. The two of them are meaningless." Lum said unceremoniously.
"Although it doesn't make any sense, it looks better if you bring three people." Quinn said.
After hearing what Quinn said, Rum stopped talking.
About an hour later, the door to the room was knocked open.
A man in a black suit said at the door, "The welcome dinner is about to begin. Please, Mr. Quinn, come with me."
"Okay!" Quinn nodded, stood up from the sofa and walked out of the room.
Xu Taiping, Cobra, and Lum followed Quinn.
After the four people left the room, they went directly to the hotel lobby, and then walked along another corridor into a medium-sized banquet hall.
At this time, many people had come to the banquet hall, and almost everyone was wearing a black suit.
In the center of the banquet hall was a round table, with tableware already placed on the round table.
"Mr. Quinn, please wait a moment, the banquet will start soon!" The person in charge of leading the way left these words to Quinn, then turned and left.
"Come on, come with me to meet my old friends." Quinn said, walking to the side, and soon started chatting enthusiastically with some people.
Xu Taiping followed Quinn and looked around.
He didn't see Rockefy, which meant that Rockefy probably hadn't arrived yet.
Xu Taiping did a quick count and found that there were about a dozen gang bosses present. Each of these dozen people led three subordinates, which was equivalent to more than forty people in the entire hall.
There were more than forty people, which was not a lot.
It can be seen that Quinn's prestige in the underworld is still very high. From time to time, people come to deal with Quinn, and it can be seen that these people respect Quinn.
Everyone spoke in a low voice. Xu Taiping discovered through observation that these people in the Jianghu and American Jianghu circles did not have much of a Jianghu aura. They all wore suits and ties, and their hair was combed meticulously. Even his subordinates are all well-dressed, hardly giving off the impression of being a gangster, but more like the elites of the upper class.
At this point, the domestic charlatans are a bit worse. The domestic charlatans have a much stronger charlatanism than here. Moreover, very few people in China smoke cigars. Here, almost everyone has a cigar.
Each of these gangster brothers will be accompanied by one or two masters. Xu Taiping observed that there must be five or six masters who he could name. These people were all masters who had become famous in Xu Taiping's time. The commission for each is an astronomical figure.
It seems that for their own safety, these gangster brothers have really spent a lot of effort. In such a place where thermal weapons cannot be carried, the role that a master can play has been enhanced to the extreme. In order not to be killed, these gangster brothers You can only spend a lot of money to invite experts to protect yourself.
While Xu Taiping was observing everyone present, there was a commotion at the door of the banquet hall.
Xu Taiping followed the sound and saw a group of people walking in from the door.
