Chapter 1722: The Underworld Conference (1)
1722
It all happened very quickly, from the time the attacker appeared to the time he launched the attack to being stabbed in the neck by his own spikes, the whole process took only two or three seconds.
Quinn stood there with a cold face, not saying a word.
Lum grabbed the attacker's arm and threw it to the side.
The attacker was thrown out and hit the ground hard.
Blood kept pouring out of the opponent's neck, and the attacker kept struggling, as if trying 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 assailant was dead, but no one paid attention to the assailant.
"Let's go. Quinn said, walked into the hotel, and then, Rum, Cobra, and Xu Taiping and others also walked into the hotel together, as for the attacker, soon there was no sound, and then, several people walked to the side of the attacker, and the attacker was directly beaten, as for the blood on the ground, it was all integrated into the black soil, except for making the soil blacker, leaving no other traces.
"Do you know why the underworld convention is being 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, and at that time he thought it was unlikely, after all, it was a town, but now it seems that maybe it is really as Quinn said, there is no police in this place.
"This is a paradise for criminals, and a lot of people who have committed crimes in other states will come here and live here, just because there are no police here, of course, it's not right to say that there are no police, I heard that there are still two policemen, but one of these two policemen is still a wanted criminal in Los Angeles, didn't you think?" Quinn said with a smile.
Quinn's horses looked at each other for a moment, and it was amazing that a wanted criminal from Los Angeles had come here to work as a police officer.
"Quinn!" a gruff voice suddenly remembered.
Xu Taiping followed the prestige and saw a middle-aged fat man who was only about 1.6 meters tall, leading a few of his subordinates to walk towards Quinn from the corridor on the side.
"Isn't this Furron?" Quinn smiled and walked up and shook his hand.
"You're a little late. Said the man named Fran.
"It's okay, it's not dark here anyway, and no matter how late it is, it's not too late. Quinn said.
"I just heard that someone assassinated you at the door?" asked Fran.
"You're well-informed. Quinn laughed.
"Haha, I just heard, how is it, Boss Quinn, you're not hurt, are you?" asked Fran.
"Of course not. Quinn said.
"This one next to you must be the legendary Mr. Rum, right?" asked Fran, looking at Rum.
Rum kept a calm face and did not speak.
"Fran, I'm a little tired, let's go to the room and rest first, and we'll get back in touch later!" Quinn said.
"Okay, okay, you go and rest!" said Fran, glancing at Xu Taiping and the others, then smiled and walked out.
"Let's go. Quinn said, walking to the side of the staircase.
It didn't take long for Quinn to arrive in the room he had booked.
The room is still very luxurious, it is a suite, and Quinn and all the people under him will live here.
As soon as Luum entered the suite, he began to search the suite, while Xu Taiping sat in the living room with Quinn and the others.
"Didn't you think to investigate the attacker?" asked Xu Taiping.
"There is no need to investigate, every year at the beginning of the conference, there will be such and such attackers, and it is useless to investigate. Quinn said.
"Why?" asked Xu Taiping.
"These attackers, generally hired by our enemies, the purpose is very simple, it is best to kill us, if they can't be killed, they can also try the depth of the masters we hire, if they feel that the people we hire are not strong enough, they will arrange stronger people to assassinate, if they think that the people we hire are strong enough, then most of them will give up, this is what happens in every underworld conference, so just now Mr. Rum directly shot the other party to kill, in order to deter the instigator behind the attacker. Quinn said.
"I see!" Xu Taiping suddenly realized, and then said, "Why are there no police here?"
"I don't know. Quinn shook his head and said, "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, "It's a vast and sparsely populated place, and crimes are committed in other states, so it's almost impossible for anyone to come here to hide, and there are people under our command who often come here to avoid the limelight." ”
"Rockefeller, also staying in this hotel?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I guess, I don't know, but wait a minute, the Lexar family will have a welcome party for all of us who are attending this underworld conference. You should be able to see him later. Quinn said.
"The Lexa family?" Xu Taiping looked at Quinn curiously.
"The Lexa family is a mafia family, you know, the gangsters in our country were all originally from the European mafia, hundreds of years ago, several mafia families came to the country one after another, after many years of development, almost all the mafia families have been divided, and now the only one that has been completely passed down to the present is the Lexa family, so the Lexa family has a very high status in our country, we also call them our family, our underworld conference is led by the Lexa family, and the Lexa family is also the organizer of the underworld conference, soThe first welcome dinner of each underworld conference is hosted by the Lexar family. Quinn explained.
"I see!" Xu Taiping suddenly realized, "I don't know much about gangsters, so I haven't heard of the Lexa family." ”
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, the Lexa family is just a respected status, their territory is not big now, and there have been no very powerful characters for so many years, which is considered to be in decline. Quinn said.
"When is the welcome dinner?" asked Xu Taiping.
"It should be soon, someone will come to inform us then! Quinn said.
While they were chatting, Rum had finished checking the entire room and made his way to the living room.
"The room was clean. Rum said, sitting down beside Quinn.
"At today's welcome dinner, each boss can bring three of his men into the venue, and then the three of you will come in with me. Quinn pointed at Rum, Cobra, and Xu Taiping.
Lum glanced at Xu Taiping, Xu Taiping didn't talk much along the way, very low-key, not at all inconspicuous.
"Just take me one, there is no point in the two of them. Lum said unceremoniously.
"Although it doesn't make much sense, it's better to bring three people. Quinn said.
Hearing Quinn say this, Rum stopped talking.
After about an hour, there was a knock on the door of the room.
A man in a black suit* said at the door, "The welcome dinner is about to begin, please come with me Mr. Quinn." ”
"Good!" Quinn nodded, got up from the couch and walked out of the room.
Xu Taiping, Cobra, and Rum followed behind Quinn.
After the four of them left the room, they went directly down to the lobby of the hotel, and then walked down another corridor into a small banquet hall.
At this time, there were already many people in the banquet hall, almost all of whom were wearing black suits.
In the center of the banquet hall was a round table, on which the cutlery was already arranged.
"Mr. Quinn, please wait a moment, the banquet will begin soon!" said the man in charge of leading the way, leaving a message for Quinn, and turned to leave.
"Let's go, come with me to meet my old friends. Quinn said, walking to the side, and soon struck up a lively conversation with some of the people.
Xu Taiping followed behind Quinn and looked around.
He didn't see Rockefeller, that is, Rockefeller shouldn't have come yet.
Xu Taiping counted simply, there were about a dozen gang bosses present, and each of these dozen people brought three subordinates, which was equivalent to more than forty people in the entire hall.
More than forty people, not a lot.
It can be seen that Quinn's prestige in the underworld is still very high, and from time to time people come to deal with Quinn, and it can be seen that these people still respect Quinn.
Everyone spoke in a relatively small voice, Xu Taiping found through observation that the same rivers and lakes, these people in the rivers and lakes of the United States do not have too much atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, they are all wearing suits and ties, and their hair is meticulously combed, even if they are subordinates, they are dressed very decently, almost not giving people the feeling of Jianghu people, but more like those elites in the upper class.
At this point, the domestic people are a little worse, the domestic people are much stronger than here, and there are very few people in China who smoke cigars, and almost everyone here has a cigar.
Each of these underworld brothers will be followed by one or two masters, Xu Taiping observed, there must be five or six masters he can name, these people are all masters who have become famous in Xu Taiping's era, and the commission for each is an astronomical amount.
It seems that for their own safety, these gangster brothers have really spent a lot of effort, in this kind of place where they can't carry hot weapons, the role that a master can play has been raised to the extreme, in order not to be killed, these gangster brothers can only spend a lot of money to invite masters to protect themselves.
Just as Xu Taiping was observing everyone present, there was a commotion at the door of the banquet hall.
Xu Taiping followed the prestige and saw a group of people walking in from outside the door.
