"Hey, hey, hey...Achiuwa, what do you mean...are you scared?"
Someone made a joke.
“Please! No matter how strong he is, we have these people after all... It will be easy to deal with him even at the cost of a few lives..." The man rolled his eyes.
"If a fight really breaks out, whoever is weaker will die first... Yeah... This is in line with our style in Meteor Street."
Another man with messy hair grinned.
"I'll give you this opportunity."
The speaker was a lady.
"He has discovered you!"
At this time, the ninja standing next to Brown suddenly said something.
"Oh? So perceptive... Scary guy... Are we the same kind..." Aqiuwa exclaimed in amazement.
Suddenly, Brown tapped his cigar on the table, making a noise, and everyone looked at the boss and kept quiet.
"Don't get too excited. At least for now... he's still one of us."
The tenth old man said lightly.
After saying that, he stood up and walked out the door.
He is going to meet the guests who were summoned today...
"This Sato seems to have been following the old man for a long time..."
"He is a ninja trained by the secret group Kumogakure Ryu... Unlike those of us who are half-way recruits, he is a professional! He has been training since he was a child. I heard that the other nine people also have strong people like Sato around them... The reason why the ten old men can sit firmly on the top of the gang must be that they have the capital!"
"Can you guys be a little more professional... We were 'sold' to the gang after all, and we are now gang members. Is it really okay for you to talk about the boss behind his back? If the elders find out..."
"Can you please not use the word 'sell'? It's 'deal', 'deal'!"
"Is there a difference?"
"Have!"
Shortly after Brown and the other man left, the group began to discuss.
"Does anyone want to have some fun and try out the depth of this obscurity..."
"Be honest. He is a well-known gangster after all... He may become our Meteor Street partner in the future. Don't cause trouble."
"Don't worry, I have a plan in mind... I don't want to go back to Meteor Street. My life is so comfortable now..."
The boy in the baseball cap waved to everyone and walked out.
"Green this kid..."
"It's okay, it's not like you don't know him..."
Not all the people in the room were from Meteor Street, but more than half of them were.
……
On this side, Long was following the 'guide' and preparing to enter a white building that rose from the ground among the palaces.
But you still have to walk through a long corridor.
A few dozen meters away, Long noticed that a young man in a baseball cap appeared and moved around the venue casually... He seemed to be of some status, and was out of place with the men in suits that were standing every few steps around him. They were completely different styles.
No one stopped him.
The boy leaned against the wall of the corridor, looking at himself unscrupulously...
The hazy eyes also became slightly playful.
The 'guide' nodded slightly towards the boy, as if to say hello, but said nothing.
The distance between Long and the boy is shortened.
At this time, the boy left the wall he was leaning against and walked past Long.
At the moment when the two figures crossed, the boy's eyes narrowed slightly under the brim of his hat, and he burst out with anger, but there was no murderous intent... Killing intent represents provocation, he knows his limits and does not want to be misunderstood.
He was just 'playing a game'.
Furthermore, Green was very clear about the situation of the gang... The other party was wary of the identities of the ten old men, so even if they were dissatisfied, they would not show it.
Even if Brown knew, he probably wouldn't ask about it.
However, just as he released his mental energy to create mental pressure, the next second, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body. His vision became blurred and his brain felt a stinging pain like needles. He could not stand still for a moment and he staggered and bent over in a trance, causing the hat on his head to fall off.
However, before the hat hit the ground, it was caught by a big hand.
Long patted the pale boy's shoulder and comforted him softly, as gentle as a big brother next door, "Your hat fell off... Walk more steadily, don't be too naughty, you will get hurt if you fall."
The feeling of suffocation came and went quickly. When Green came to his senses, his face flushed.
He rolled his throat and took the hat from Long's hand with stiff movements.
Long patted his shoulders twice again and walked away with the guide.
The entire confrontation between the two took only a split second, and the 'guide', who was just an ordinary person, didn't notice it at all.
Long felt the gaze from behind him, muttering to himself: "His thoughts..."
This young man's thoughts are quite interesting...
……
A few minutes later, Long was led into a meeting room.
As soon as I walked in, I found that they were all familiar faces... they were the "big guys" I had seen at the charity party before, and old man Badim was also there.
"Long, you're here!"
In stark contrast to their previous attitude towards Long, as soon as he appeared, the seven people immediately came to greet him.
Although the levels and rankings of the gangs are clear, the premise of everything is based on strength.
Today, the Fields family is no weaker than any of them, and may even be a little stronger.
Naturally, they won't emphasize seniority anymore...
this is the truth.
"These seven people, including myself, make a total of eight people, forming the core circle of the domestic gangs."
Long thought to himself.
This time, his attitude was not too cold. He pretended to be enthusiastic and chatted with a few people...it was just about some "business" matters.
However, Long was nice to them because he was in a good mood...
He was in a very happy and excited mood.
He sensed that there was a very dangerous "beast" hiding its presence and staring at them in the dark.
The last time I felt this way was when I first climbed the 200th floor of the Sky Arena and met Esimilu... He was a bit embarrassed on the stage at that time...
After a while, Old Man Brown came from the side hall.
When the seven people saw him, they shouted "Boss" in unison.
Long also nodded...
The 'very young man' in front of you is one of the ten old men!
The reason why I say young is that given his status and position, forty or fifty years old is not considered old...
He is also a minor character in the original novel. I have a vague impression of him and he appeared briefly in the anime.
"Everyone is here...please take a seat."
Brown took the main seat first and gestured.
There are four positions on each side, and Long is the second one on the left.
"Long, are things almost done?" Brown looked at the most 'energetic' face at the table.
"Ah."
Long knew that he was referring to the affairs of the River and Qibu families.
"That's good... I am different from others. Working under me, as long as you have the ability, you will have the opportunity to stand out. I am very happy to train the younger generation," Brown said.
"Thank you... I will definitely live up to your expectations."
He responded with a half-smile, and strengthened his tone when he said the last two words.
I am willing to train the younger generation... I like money more...
"I called you here today mainly because the regional forces under our control have been a little restless recently... You all need to keep a close eye on them and prevent the people below from fighting among themselves. If there is any dispute, try to avoid using force."
"Yes."
Sure enough, when Long heard this, he knew that Brown was hitting him in a roundabout way.
It indicated that the Fields family had already made a lot of money and could stop and work hard for them.
The topic gradually deepened and we talked more and more.
They talked about the industrial changes involving domestic gangs, etc. Then they talked about some events in other continents and the other nine districts.
Long discovered that as their status improved, the operating model of these gangs became more like a legitimate large company.
There is little talk of murders and dirty work.
After a long time, the meeting finally ended.
They had come during the day and it was now dark.
A group of servants began to bring out the delicacies and wine that had been prepared long ago. After talking about the business, the atmosphere became relatively relaxed.
As a newcomer, Long naturally became the focus of discussion and praise among the crowd.
It's all... just a show.
