Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Rooks

Arno looked at the depressed Jacob and sighed softly, "I think we should continue on our journey......"

Jacob nodded and staggered in the direction of his home: " I sent her body to her parents, her father gave me a few punches, I didn't fight back, but left silently, and after that, the business of the roast duck shop got better and better day by day, and I also hired several employees, just when I thought that life would get better and better in the future, the hungry wolf party came again, maybe they saw that the business of the store was good, so they asked for an increase of 10 pence a week for the protection fee, otherwise my shop would not be able to open in Lower London. ”

"Let's go right when we get to the street ahead," Jacob said, pointing in the direction of his house, and continued: "I gave them the protection money, and you think I've resigned myself to my fate? After handing them over, I joined forces with my own staff and their friends, who were also persecuted by the Hungry Wolves, and we gathered more than thirty people to form the Rooks, and I used the money that Helt had deposited in the bank to buy machetes and revolvers, and when the Hungry Wolves came to collect protection money in the second week, we raided them, hacked them to death in the roast duck shop, and then waited until the evening when there was no one, we took their bodies to the Thames and threw them all into the river!"

Arno looked at Jacob in surprise, "So that's why the Hungry Wolves are chasing you?"

Jacob had a smile on his face: " But that's not all, on the day of the incident, I sold the roast duck shop, and used the money to recruit more gangs, Huerter's house in the lower city, which I used as the base camp of the Crows, and our war with the Hungry Wolves began, we never started a head-on conflict with the Hungry Wolves, but on the way back to the base camp when they received the protection money, raided them, and then snatched the protection money they received, and left before they arrived, and then we returned half of the protection money to the merchants, and half of it was kept for ourselves. ”

Arno's eyes widened as he looked at Jacob: "Guerrilla warfare?"

Jacob looked at Jacob in wonder: "What is guerrilla warfare?"

Arno shook his head, "Don't care, it's just that your tactics remind me of a tactic created by a great man." ”

"Well, that's it, we developed the Rooks in a very short period of time, the Crows have more than two hundred people, and we launched a frontal attack on the Hungry Wolves in the White Queen, because I used all the money I earned on the weapons of the gang, which caused the Hungry Wolves in the White Queen to retreat one after another, and finally ...... We've taken the White Queen, and we've driven out all the hungry wolves in the White Queen!"

Jacob's voice gradually increased, with a proud look on his face: "After kicking them out, the White Queen belongs to the territory of the Crows, we also charge protection fees, but we only charge half of what the Hungry Wolves collected before, and we will really protect the merchants, when someone makes trouble in their merchants, we will deal with it, and we prohibit prohibited items from flowing in the White Queen." ”

Arnold looked at Jacob appreciatively: "I think the merchants of the White Queen should be very grateful to you for driving out the Hungry Wolf Party and bringing them a stable and stable life. ”

Jacob had a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Of course there are such merchants, but they are only a few, and most of them still don't like us very much...... Ahem, I continued, one night in the second month of our occupation of the White Queen, that is, yesterday, some of the senior officials on the side of the Hungry Wolves invited me to dinner, and I went over with a few of my younger brothers......"

Arno frowned: "It's obvious that there is a problem, you just went with a few people so stupidly?"

Jacob smiled awkwardly, "That's what Evie told me, too, but I think I'll have to show the momentum of a gang boss......"

"Evie, your sister, she's in London, too?"

Jacob looked at Arno in surprise: "Didn't I say that? A few days after I started the Crows, she came to London to find me, and when she found out that I had started a gang, she was angry, and her roar spread throughout the base camp, and she told me to disband the Crows immediately, otherwise she would have been my brother, and when I told her what had happened to me, she didn't object, and she joined the Crows and was in charge of the Crows' finances." ”

Arno nodded: "Well, I can see that your sister loves you very much." ”

"Of course, although she sometimes doesn't speak well, let's not talk about her, when I came to the agreed place last night, the other party was already sitting at the table, and I recognized him at a glance, one of the four high-ranking members of the Hungry Wolf Party, Paul Polanski! During the meal, he said that he wanted the Crows to merge into the Hungry Wolves, and told me that if I agreed to merge the Crows into the Hungry Wolves, the four high-ranking members of the Hungry Wolves would become five, and I refused! I put down the dishes and left the restaurant with my little brother, but on the way back to the White Queen, we were attacked, my little brother was all killed by muskets, and my arm was also shot, and then I started to run away, and I ran away all night in hiding, and finally met you. ”

Arno sighed softly: "Your life has been really difficult in the past few years......"

"Aha, look who I found! Jacob Frye, and the gentleman who lied to me. ”

Just as Jacob was about to speak, six people gathered in the direction they were heading, and he looked at the man who was speaking at the front of him with a gloomy face: "Michael......"

Jacob lowered his arm from Arno, walked over to Arno's side and whispered, "I'm sorry to involve you, now...... Run, I'll hold them back!"

Michael glared at Arno fiercely: "Ha, what do I say, I will let you know what the consequences of cheating the Hungry Wolf Party are!

Jacob stood in front of Arno: "Michael, you can't hurt him if I'm here today!"

With a machete in his hand, Michael shouted to the man behind him: "Catch him!" His Excellency Paul asked us to take him back alive, but he did not say that he could not lack arms and legs, and if he dared to resist, he would cut off his arms!"

Jacob pulled a machete out of his bosom and placed it in front of Arno: "Run back! Don't stay here any longer!

Arno gently pulled the brim of the top hat on his head, clubbed his cane to the ground, and hooked the corners of his mouth: "Maybe you are the ones who should be feared now?"
