156. Peace Breaks
"Sabertooth Tiger, I've heard you've been getting pretty close to the noble boys of the White family lately. β
A lean, thin man hunched on his back joked with a strong man sitting at the bar counter.
He deliberately used the relationship between the saber-toothed tiger and White as "quite close" instead of "treating him as a dog", in order not to anger the strong man, so as to start a friendly conversation.
The saber-toothed tiger muttered:
"That's my boss, Ostrich. β
The ostrich was a little surprised, because he knew what an arrogant person the saber-toothed tiger was.
Aaron's newcomers to the gang would choose animals as their code name.
The vulture's name is simple, it means a bird of prey, and it means that he makes money from the dead, and of course, now his business has been completely taken over by the saber-toothed tiger.
The ostrich, on the other hand, does not have much meaning but its physical form, and the ostrich sees the courage to face up to its own shortcomings as a symbol of the strength of the soul.
The name Sabertooth Tiger is extremely arrogant, and his ambition is implied by the name of the apex predator of the ancient era, although his "predator" career in Aaron did not go well.
It's more appropriate to say that you hit a wall everywhere.
He didn't get as much of a place in Aaron's underground as he had thought at first, not that he wasn't capable.
The saber-toothed tiger is an excellent leader and warrior everywhere, and he can easily break the neck of an enemy of his own size, like a beast of prey sticking its fangs into the throat of its prey.
And he is not a fool, shrewdness and cunning are a bit excessive, but even so, it is difficult for him to survive in Aaron, and he can only barely pull a small group of more than a dozen elite members.
He's not stupid, which is why he's chosen to be loyal to Sgate White, but he's not smart enough to deal politely with the more powerful people in the cityβthe rich, the aristocracy, and the politicians, who play tricks like a civilized man.
However, it is no longer what it used to be, and the saber-toothed tiger has become more cautious and terrifying after meeting its owner, and will only pounce on its prey at a critical moment, rather than swinging its claws in vain.
The ostrich smiled and took a gin-based cocktail with the bartender, and sat down in a place with the saber-toothed tiger.
Since the vulture died at the bar, the old man who owns the store has been bartending himself much less, and now there are new faces working behind the bar.
What a pity.
"I heard you've got some big guys, are you interested in working with us? The ostrich tapped his glass.
The saber-toothed tiger lowered his voice:
"Some rotten aristocrats are just shady businesses. β
It's like a move to deal with vultures.,The first time it's barely workable.,The second time it will make people laugh off their big teeth.,And in fact, the first use has left a lot of troublesome sequelae.γ
Is it true that no one would have thought that they would be able to sneak up and kill their competitors here? Those smart people just pretended not to see through it out of respect for the old man and the weighing of interests.
When the first bloodshed** occurs, the credibility of this fast safe zone will become less and less credible, and it will gradually become a normal bar completely, of course, it is not a quick process, it may take decades.
But each gang leader has children or heirs, and they think a lot about the future.
Sgate White, on the other hand, has no respect for their traditions, because he doesn't need them, and when their wishes are granted, these criminals who insist on useless principles are nothing more than insignificant bugs at his feet.
Of course, the most important reason why the saber-toothed tiger is so good at the ostrich is that he has this qualification, but it is the strength of his hands or himself.
He and the vultures were not of the same magnitude at all, and if they had done the same thing to the ostriches, they would have disappeared into the city the next day, except for Skid.
The ostrich dragged out a long note and laughed a few times:
"Hehehe, I know it all, aren't you all in a relationship with that big man? No matter what he needs, can you guys provide for it? β
The ostrich's unpleasant laughter is especially piercing when it echoes in the ears of the saber-toothed tiger.
He just smiled in what he thought was polite:
"I'm just a transit station, you can't give them what they want, only my master. β
The surprise in the ostrich's heart intensified, and it was possible to make the saber-toothed tiger commensurate with the master, what kind of ability did Sgate White have.
But Ostrich didn't give up, he himself didn't want to have anything to do with Sgate White, but the news he heard was so shocking that perhaps no gang leader could ignore it except for Aaron's current underground king.
That's a "big aristocrat" in the true sense of the word.
The ostrich slowly shook the cup:
"Don't say that, Sabertooth Tiger, anyway, if you say what he asks, you won't lose a piece of meat, maybe I also have a channel? Don't worry, I won't squeeze you out, and I will make up for what you have lost." β
Syllable!
The bar door was violently pushed open, but neither the saber-toothed tiger nor the ostrich turned their heads.
"Is it true that an ostrich buries his head in the sand? No wonder we don't even know that vultures have been dominant before our current trade. β
The ostrich turned his head and squinted his eyes, focusing his full attention on the comer:
"Presumably this is the recently famous Lord Sgate White. β
The young man did not have the ornate clothes of aristocratic children, but wore a pure white shirt and a sterling silver necklace on his chest.
It took a moment for the ostrich to see what hung from the end of the necklace on Sgate White's chestβa miniature sheep's horn monster.
Sgate White deliberately showed a look of surprise:
"Ostrich has heard my name, and it seems that you have pulled your head out of the sand lately. β
The ostrich sneered and sneered:
"Is this the top student at Aaron? I don't even know that the ostrich is looking down to hear farther and more clearly. β
Sgate walked up to the ostrich:
"Oh, and a bit of culture? I thought you chose this name to bury your head a little deeper. β
The drinkers all laughed around him, and the ostrich was not a pleasant guy.
The ostrich pulled a pistol from his waist and landed it on Sgate's chest.
Now it was everyone's turn to be surprised, and it didn't take long for the second person to provoke the rules appeared.
Sgate continued with a smile:
"Shoot, but I doubt your bullets will kill me. β
The ostrich sneered:
"What do you think you are, the immortal devil?"
The saber-toothed tiger grabbed the barrel of the ostrich at the signal of Sgate's eyes, but instead of taking it off, he turned the muzzle of the gun slightly, pointing it at the silver demon.
Sgate reached out and pressed his hand on the ostriche's index finger in the midst of everyone's confusion and confusion.
"Bang!"
Blue sparks flashed, and the silver demon necklace fell to the ground.
"Black magic?"
"Black Witch!"
Everyone whispered.
The ostrich took a few steps back, his face horrified:
"What the hell are you?"
Sgate smiled and said:
"Didn't you say it all?"
The ostrich knew his face had been disgraced, but he just closed his mouth and walked past Sgate White in silence.
Instead of laughing at the ostrich at this time, everyone looked at Sgate and the necklace underground with terrified eyes.
After Sgate White left with the saber-toothed tiger, the daring man went to pick up the fallen necklace, and then found that he was not cursed and died instantly, and countless people rushed over to scuffle and snatch it.
Ostrich is a real disgrace today, and he goes to the hyena bar to get a share of the business from Sgate.
Fortunately, at least his purpose had been achieved, and by the way, a wish he had been wishing for a long time, but this desire to do it was the reason why he agreed to the conditions.
Throwing away the pistol that had been specially modified to reduce the firepower, the pistol that had been given to him by Sgate White himself, he bared his yellowed teeth and laughed.
"What an interesting young man, I hope he will surprise me with more pounds. β
"In this way, the peace zone of that stinky old dog will soon collapse, and the rotten rules will turn to dust, let Aaron stir it up, let us start a great riot, and rebuild a new order, more suitable for me. β
