Chapter 173 Underground Family
As a fraudster by trade, Malt Liquor must be very smart.
After her godfather accurately pointed out the problems in her plan, she did not continue to be arrogant or quibbling, nor did she become angry. Instead, she immediately accepted a more correct plan and was even willing to apologize for it.
From this alone, the hairdresser can conclude that she will become a big shot in the future.
The barber even felt that Malt Liquor's brain was much smarter than his own.
She could understand immediately what she needed to think about for a long time...
It's like a teacher teaching very difficult math problems to outstanding students.
The teacher also had to think for a while to clarify his thoughts - but he only said a few words before the students suddenly understood.
Coming to ask for advice does not mean that the student is not as smart as the teacher, but that she lacks some experience.
The barber is very rational... because he has met many outstanding people and has a very clear understanding of the extent of his own talents.
Therefore, he will not be immersed in the sense of superiority of "helping others solve problems" and mistakenly believe that he is better than the other party.
——He is just a pioneer.
Malt Liquor holds a team of fraudsters who have already penetrated into the upper city area, and also has mercenary resources. Now that they have the support of the White Lion Group, the "maintenance of order in Xiacheng District," all resources have been obtained.
She can even see the short-term future and understand the situation in the lower city.
But no matter how smart she is, she is still only a young person in her early twenties.
Whether she was planning to distance herself from the relationship between Strangler and her godfather, or whether she was planning to sideline the godfather and compete for power, it was just her blind action under crisis and confusion. Because subjectively, she hopes that her plan will succeed, so she unconsciously ignores the negative effects of the plan, the possibility of its success, and the subsequent effects of its success.
When faced with tremendous pressure, people have to do something. Otherwise, I won’t be able to comfort myself or make myself feel at ease.
But just making yourself feel at ease without facing up to the pain and difficulties will only lead to huge omissions.
This is also the meaning of team, staff and brain trust.
No matter how smart a person is, once he has strong expectations, his thoughts will always be biased.
The desire to reach the other side will distort the otherwise wise brain. Therefore, we need the wisdom of everyone to assist us.
From another perspective, it is precisely because the barber himself does not have such panic and desire that he can remain sober and rational.
——Because he is not a real uncoded person after all.
In the future, there may be real trouble that befalls him. At that time, the advice given by Malt Liquor as an outsider may be more constructive.
Of course, even so...
She attempts to calculate her actions and will not simply be forgiven.
While gently stroking Ale's slender horse ears, the godfather slowly said: "I will solve your trouble.
"And you, Ale? How do you hope to repay me?"
"What would you like..., my godfather?"
Malt Liquor raised his head, gently rubbed his godfather's palm, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Anything will do."
But the godfather's eyes were clear and as cold as a windless lake.
"You owe me one."
The godfather said: "Remember to return it later."
"I will pay it back. Your goddaughter will remember everything today... You have saved Lower City twice."
There was sincerity from the heart in Ale's words.
——And, unabashed greed.
Before today, her attitude towards her godfather was that she regarded him as her equal leader, so she was deeply fearful and alienated.
From today on, she began to long for more help from her godfather... and favor.
This is not impossible. No matter how liberal a father is, there is always one he prefers among his children. Not to mention a godfather who is not related by blood.
"In that case, Godfather."
Ale carefully pulled his ear out of the godfather's hand.
She raised her head and made further suggestions: "'Organization' must have a 'stronghold'. But if it is a 'family', it only needs to have a 'home'."
"If we want to dissolve the organizational entities in Xiacheng District to prevent corporate retaliation... maybe we can form a 'family'."
She paused and saw that the godfather had no objection before continuing: "I heard that in the ancient times on earth, there were some special and powerful people who would form a 'family'. They inserted a marked word into their In the first name, call it 'surname'.
"Once you form a family and have a common surname, you will naturally have the same interests and goals. Even people who are relatively distant, as long as they have the same surname, they will always help each other...
"If the station is lost... to be precise, after the logistical supplies are lost, it will be difficult for the organization to control those people on the edge of the organization. Although they are attached to the organization, they are afraid of the organization itself. Because they are because of They were forced to join by the force of the organization, so there is no loyalty at all.
"But if we form a family, maybe everything will be different. We are all a 'family', and each other is a sworn brother and sworn brother... Of course we can protect each other and tide over difficulties together. The brothers' families can also Protect them together.”
"sounds good."
Hangsha crossed his arms and said in a deep voice: "It is better to set the seniority... so that the younger generation cannot disobey the orders of the elders, and fighting between brothers is strictly prohibited. Any behavior must be reported to one's 'elderly relatives', and the elder relatives have to do it for them." You should be responsible and take good care of your own juniors."
"It sounds a bit like your 'Law of Silence'."
Ale looked at Strangler and agreed.
She had always admired this man who was also trying to maintain order in the lower city.
The law of silence established by Strangler is the reason why Xiacheng District has grown rapidly in the past three years - you must not attack company executives, elves, clergy and other big figures, and you must not touch those troublesome things, so as not to cause trouble for others. People cause trouble.
In this way, they can apply for asylum. When they encounter trouble, they enter the territory of the White Lion Group... Even if the Eternal Calamity Reincarnation or the Veil of Ignorance trouble them, they will most likely give Strangle a face and choose to retreat.
There is no price to pay for accepting the asylum of strangulation. But from now on, no information that is detrimental to the White Lion Group can be revealed.
This is exactly the "law of silence" established by strangulation. Through this law, he made the White Lions the de facto "maintainers of order" in Xiacheng District.
Even organizations that are stronger than him can't take action against him as long as they want order in the lower city to still exist.
"I think this law can be further expanded...not just to our White Lion Group, but to the entire Lower City. At least it can be extended to the majority."
Strangler said slowly: "We set up a 'family', not to control them hard like an organization and force them to work or fight for the organization. Instead, we use softer 'elderly relatives' to achieve level-by-level control.
"In this way, we can disperse directly instead of stationing. When those people from the upper city come down, we can also recruit them to join. Whoever brings the newcomers in will become the newcomer's eldest relative and direct Responsible for each other's safety and release tasks. In order for people in the family to become 'eldest relatives', it becomes their own wish to go out to help with publicity, rather than a forced order..."
"They'll join in."
The godfather nodded: "As long as they can be sure that this is a mysterious organization where brothers protect each other without any fatal restrictions, they will probably join.
"As long as we assign them some secret tasks of justice or evil according to their personalities, we don't have to worry about them losing control. We can also give them some benefits that they can't get at work, or find brothers when they are bullied. Go and avenge them, and protect your family when they are in trouble... In this way, you can also develop a sense of collective honor.
“Working hard for the family is much easier to get promoted than working in the company every day.
"I'm afraid even the children of some senior company executives can't resist this dark charm - let alone those ignorant salary slaves."
For those social animals who are gradually becoming numb in the day-to-day cycle, this is too exciting.
If he hadn't already joined the Tower of Babel, even Russell himself might not be able to resist.
……etc.
Speaking of which, was he also deceived into it in the first place?
