After receiving the news, butler David led Miss Lily back to the group headquarters from the "safe house" under the escort of his men.
It was over too quickly... They thought the battle would last all night.
Getting out of the car, David saw Long.
The man was standing in the middle of a sea of blood and corpses... The strange thing was that the members of the Fields family who witnessed the battle and survived the mafia were all terrified and did not dare to approach Long, as if the new head of the family was some kind of monster.
There was a bright moon hanging above Long's head, and in the dim light, there was a silver glow falling... Combined with his relaxed expression and bloody torso, it made the butler David feel both harmonious and twisted.
This scene... was deeply engraved in David's mind.
"David."
Lily, who was being held by David's hand, noticed the absent-minded housekeeper and called out softly.
"what…"
David came to his senses, took another deep look at Long, and then looked at Lily: "Miss... don't worry, it's all over."
"Our master...is safe and sound."
Chapter 39: Ten Old Men Brown
The death of Kenny Goler caused the gang to quickly collapse and disintegrate.
Originally, there were still some elite members of the Kenny family who wanted to resist, but they were helpless in the face of the "annexation and encroachment" of the Fields family.
The new head of the Fils family, Long.
This man is so scary...I don’t know what he did or how he did it!
Almost all the senior and middle-level cadres of the Kenny family were wiped out and died suddenly in just a few days.
The Fields family took over the Kenny family's smuggling business, and their power was not only consolidated but also further enhanced.
This was something that other gangs in the country had not expected. They all thought that the one who would be wiped out would be Phils...
Gradually, some news also spread in the underground society.
……
The next day, in a magnificent building like a palace built halfway up the mountain.
A blond, blue-eyed, short-haired man with a strong profile stood in front of a wall with expensive paintings hanging on it, admiring them quietly.
The hall is densely packed with exhibition stands, each of which displays different treasures, including skeletons, jewelry, antiques...a dazzling array of items.
"Lord Brown."
A gangster subordinate walked into the palace, walked behind the man, bowed respectfully and said, "The Firth family entrusted Badim to send you some gifts, including some assets and cash, as well as more than ten rare collectibles."
"The Firth... the family that has been expanding rapidly recently... has caused a big fuss..."
The blond man withdrew his gaze from the portrait and turned around.
"Yes!"
His subordinates responded.
"The head of the Firth family is a newcomer?"
"Well, he has just taken office for less than two months... The original head of the family, Fels Maibo and his son Fels Garou, were both killed by the Kenny family. There has been a long-standing grudge between the two organizations. A few days after the new boss took over the family, he engaged in a firefight with the Kenny family and won, swallowing up the Kenny family's industry. A month ago, the Fels family killed McDormay and occupied a certain share in the transportation industry... Now the scale of the Fels family is comparable to some major forces."
Brown didn't react after hearing this. Although the Fields family has risen rapidly recently, there are many medium-sized forces like this in the area under his jurisdiction. The ones he can really remember are the leading groups.
Brown is one of the ten old men who are in charge of gangs in ten regions in the six continents!
There are too many people who want to curry favor with him. Another meaning of the Fields family's gift is simply to do a favor and hope to gain the favor of the ten old men.
"Badim made this trip, so it seems that the things he brought are of some value."
Brown said, strolling from booth to booth.
The subordinates hurriedly followed, "The Fels family made their fortune through the casino. They don't have many people under them, but they have a lot of assets."
The subordinates saw that Brown had no impression of the Fields family, and immediately began to explain and supplement.
Brown is one of the Ten Old Men, and he is extremely powerful in the underground society. It is useless for ordinary families to curry favor with him. He does not care about trivial things. The gift that the Firth family gave him this time must be huge, so large that even the Ten Old Men would be tempted. His subordinates and confidants know Brown's character and hobbies very well, otherwise they would not accept it.
Although the things were taken, it was impossible for the Fields family to meet the ten old men.
not qualified.
Only a few gang leaders were allowed to meet him, and Badim was one of them.
The Fields family is quite thoughtful.
Brown doesn't care much about the changes in the gangs under his command... As one of the ten old men, he has an arrogance that matches his status and power. As long as it doesn't endanger his interests, those people can make trouble... Gangs are originally a jungle environment, with fighting and killing every day. He can't control every one of them, as long as he controls the overall situation.
It’s good to have some new blood coming out…it’s bound to be boring if things always remain the same.
The most important thing is that this new force is very capable...
"How are the preparations for the party going?"
Brown didn't pay too much attention to the affairs of the Fields family. After listening to his subordinates for a while, he mentioned it.
"It is almost over, and all forces have been notified. It will be held as scheduled."
"very good."
Brown nodded and walked out of the palace.
A second before he walked out of the door, a black shadow suddenly appeared from nowhere and flashed behind Brown strangely. The shadow was wearing a ninja-like outfit, with his face covered and two scabbards hanging around his waist, protecting the old man as he walked away.
The subordinates standing in the hall bowed towards his back and did not raise their heads until he was completely out of sight.
……
A few days later, as the head of the Fields family, Long brought his butler David to attend a charity gala held in the name of the Ten Old Men.
On the surface, this evening party seems to be a charity event to help the poor, which is very noble.
In fact, it is just a false form and formality for all the gangs to pay protection money to the ten old men.
Even...even the tenth old man himself won’t show up.
Let these people come in droves and enjoy themselves.
Some so-called treasures will be auctioned on the spot, but they are not worth much... The gang leaders will compete for the bid and pay an astronomical amount to buy a useless piece of trash. The reason for doing so is, firstly, to please the ten old men and give them money for free, and secondly, it is also an opportunity to show off in front of all the gangs, to show their financial strength and reputation, and to make the family famous.
It was essentially the same as the auctions held in Youkexin in later generations, except that the scale was not as large.
After getting off the car and arriving at the hotel venue, Long realized that he had underestimated the appeal of the ten old men... Even if it was just one of the ten old men, a gang group in the area, the luxury cars rushing over would block the entire street.
The gang members are very hot-tempered, and many of them even openly yelled and fought because of vehicle friction and road-cutting... Although they are all dressed decently today, their behavior cannot hide their rude and vulgar nature.
There is another interesting phenomenon... Long discovered that there is a clear hierarchy within the gang. When the traffic is so congested, the cars of the small families will take the initiative to give way to the big families... This allows the luxury cars of the big families to drive all the way to the hotel gate unimpeded and enter the door first.
The well-known bosses will also be warmly received by the service staff...As for the heads of small families, they are completely ignored.
The contrast is stark.
The Fields family was originally a medium-sized force, but it has expanded rapidly in just over two months and has shown signs of becoming a large family. Therefore, Long and David were among the first group of people to enter the market, and the process was very smooth.
"Come! Let me introduce to you. This is the boss of the Phils family, Hao! A rising star in our area... I believe you have all heard of his name recently, so I won't say more." Seeing Hao and Dai Wei and Wei, the boss of the Badim family, a short, pot-bellied old man, came over holding a wine glass and introduced it to a few friends around him.
These people stood in the center of the venue, forming a small circle. People around them didn't dare to approach them, and their eyes were filled with awe and nervousness...
Because they are the bosses of the most powerful families in the area.
They are all big crocodiles that can shake the ground with just a stomp of their feet.
Long was pulled into this small group, which naturally attracted the attention of others...
You know, being able to curry favor with these big guys... is an opportunity that many family heads dream of.
Long glanced at Badim. The reason why this guy was so enthusiastic towards him was because he had given gifts to the ten old men before, and the other party made a lot of money from the Fields family because of it!
"I heard... you are a distant relative of Phil Smyber?"
One of the big guys looked Long up and down, but didn't see anything outstanding about him. However, the Fields family has been very active in recent times... they have successively killed Kenny and Mike's forces, which made people have to take a new look at them and pay attention to them.
"Ah."
Long nodded faintly.
Instead of looking directly at the former, his peripheral vision was still scanning the door and the gang leaders who kept walking in.
This attitude made the boss who asked the question look gloomy.
In the underground society, the order of the strong and the weak is clear. How long has a junior like Long been in the industry? When meeting him, one must at least remain humble, if not respectful... After all, it will not be good for the Firth family to provoke him.
Not to mention that the Fields family has not yet become one of the top organizations in the region. Even if it has really established a foothold and is on equal footing with them, this arrogant attitude is too rude!
"Boy!"
A cadre behind the boss clenched his fist and shouted at Long.
Long was unmoved, and without even saying hello, he led David away directly...
This behavior immediately stunned several people, including Badim.
"Heh...young people nowadays..."
"After only a few days of enjoying the scenery, I don't know which direction is which."
"Let him show off for a while, and then we'll talk about it after the party is over."
Several big men exchanged glances, but Badim remained silent.
This is the place of the ten old men, no one dares to mess around.
On the other side, Long walked to a corner and quietly drank the red wine in his hand.
He had no interest in communicating with these gangsters... It was nothing else, he simply felt that they were boring and wasted time talking to them, it was better to be alone for a while. Even if he started a conversation, Long could imagine what these people would talk about.
The reason why he showed up at the party was... to see Old Man Brown. Not being able to meet him didn't stop him from making the other party further deepen their impression of the Fields family.
"If we kill all the people present today... does it mean that the gangs in this entire area..." Long took a sip of wine, looking through the wine glass, observing everyone in the venue, and an idea emerged in his mind.
If he really did that... then he would not be dealing with just one Brown, but the complete form of the ten old men.
Forget it…
