Chapter 178: Tommy in Distress

Wang Bai took Isabella to the striptease where she used to work, now it is the time when there are fewer customers, the waiters in the store are basically chatting idly, someone recognizes Isabella, and a steward comes over to greet her.

"Hey, Sarah, long time no see, are you back to work again? After you resigned, many regular customers felt very sorry, and if you could come back, everyone would be happy. ”

Isabella smiled reluctantly and said, "I'm sorry, Jace, I'm here for the boss, is he here?" ”

"It's not a coincidence, Tommy is out, a few of the Barnett family thugs have been making a lot of trouble in the neighborhood lately, he is going to take care of something, he should be back soon, or you can sit and wait a while." The strong man named Jace was still very kind to his former employees, and he couldn't tell that he was a member of the underworld family at all, and he nodded to Wang Bai.

"Tommy isn't here, what should I do? Are we going to wait? Isabella turned her head and asked Wang Bai's opinion.

From the chat just now, Wang Bai heard that the red-haired Tommy was going to deal with disputes with other gangs, which made him a little interested and asked, "Where is Tommy doing business, can you sue me?" ”

Jace gave him an alarmed look, then cast another look at Isabella, trying to understand where the man came from.

"He's my friend, he's great, maybe he can help Tommy."

While listening to Isabella's introduction, Jace carefully looked at Wang Bai's appearance, and suddenly said, "I remembered!" You've been to our shop! It's ...... Sarah ...... the day before she resigned"

He glanced back and forth between Isabella and Wang Bai, and seemed to understand something, he thought that "Sarah" had fallen in love with a rich Oriental money, and he didn't have to worry about spending the money, so he left here.

He remembered that the Oriental man was very strong, as if he were Japanese, and that there was some tacit understanding between Tommy and him, at least he was not an enemy.

"Shaki's restaurant. Go out and go east, and turn left at the second intersection. Jace pointed out Tommy's current position and added with a wink, "Don't tell him what I said, Tommy doesn't like people meddling with him." ”

After leaving the ballroom, Isabella asked curiously, "Mr. Berg, what are you looking for Tommy for?" ”

"I want to buy alcohol." After receiving the task of establishing friendship with the Stirling family, Wang Bai's idea coincided with that of his superiors, which was to use the Stirling family's local influence in London to form a trade relationship with them.

To do this. He needed someone to lead him, even if it was a knock on the door, and that person was Redhead Tommy.

"Buying alcohol?" Isabella's tone was surprised, "If you want to drink, you can have enough at the bar just now." ”

Wang Bai said with a smile: "The wine I want to buy is not for myself to drink, but to be shipped back to China to sell, this is a big business, and it is different from what you think." ”

Isabella stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. It turns out that he is going to make a big deal with the red-haired Tommy.

Two blocks away, in Shaki's restaurant, red-haired Tommy and his intimate henchman sat at a table, opposite two young men in black leather coats.

The two young men are the leaders of a gang of thugs in the neighborhood, who are the Barnett family's men. Recently several incidents have been committed in the Tottenham area, robbing several people who walk at night.

The other day, they robbed a dancer who had just come home from work at Tommy's ballroom, and she was barely a street away at the time. This is already a provocation in a certain way.

The dancer lost her salary for the day, and her eye socket was beaten out of a black lump, which would delay her work for at least ten days. Tommy has to stand up for the staff in his shop, otherwise he won't be able to make a difference.

He is the boss of this neighborhood, and although this is no longer the clear sphere of influence of the Stirling family since the riots of a few years ago, after he takes charge of this place, everyone in the neighborhood has to give him face, which is the rule.

The Barnett gangsters are new to the game, and they're fighting against the red-haired Tommy, challenging his authority, and it's possible that the Barnett family has taken a fancy to the territory and wants to reach out.

Tommy wouldn't have agreed to such a thing, because there was only so much he had received from his uncle, and he couldn't back down, or he would have nothing.

"Listen, you've got to spit out the money and give it back to my people." Tommy nodded to the table and said with a grim look in his eyes, "Then get out of this neighborhood obediently, and don't let me see you again." Otherwise, I promise not to eat your good fruit. ”

The two thugs tilted their necks to turn a deaf ear, and one of them chewed gum while pretending to be crazy and stupid: "Tommy, I don't know what you're talking about, we have always been well water and not river water, how can you say that's what we did?" ”

"You don't admit it, do you?" Tommy raised an eyebrow and said, "Okay, I can give you some color to see......"

As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and hooked the neck of the man opposite him, and broke him deadly, and the man struggled hard, but Tommy's strength was beyond his imagination, and he couldn't break free.

His companion tried to rescue him, but was dragged out of his seat by the neck by Tommy's henchman, the strong man was almost twice his size, and the young thug was like a chick caught by an eagle, and there was no room for resistance.

Immediately after, the man who was caught by Tommy felt a chill in his neck, and a sharp blade pressed against his neck, pressing his artery, which was probably a knife on the dinner table, or something, anyway, the thug was aware of his danger and did not dare to continue to struggle.

"Hey, Tommy, have something to say...... We're here to reconcile, and you don't want to make a big deal out of it, do you? ”

"Big trouble?" Tommy sneered, and the blade rubbed against his neck, "Who do you think you are?" If you're dead, will old Barnett go to war with us Stirling? Don't play tricks with me! Your life is not worth a few dollars at all. ”

The cold sweat on the gangster's face dripped onto the table, he felt that his breathing was a little difficult, and he gasped: "Okay, it's a big deal, I'll give you back the money, you put away the knife first, calm down, put it away......"

Tommy pushed him back to his seat, and the thug breathed a sigh of relief, pulled his collar and said, "Actually, it's just a misunderstanding, we didn't know she worked in your ballroom before we started......"

Tommy didn't bother to listen to his defense, nodded the money he took out of his pocket, reached out and emptied the rest of the money in his pocket, and said to him viciously: "This is a week's protection money, either get out or pay it regularly in the future, otherwise don't let me see you again." ”

Tommy took his men away, these thugs are not in the eyes of them at all, the current robbers are too low-tech, and they have no courage to pick women and teenagers with pistols. Just give them a little color, and they'll be scared of the fart.

When he walked out of Xia Qi's restaurant, he was greeted by a young man of sixteen or seventeen, his expression was a little nervous, and his posture was also very strange, with a newspaper under his left armpit, and his right hand was stretched out in the newspaper.

Tommy subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and at the moment when the young man pulled out his pistol, he lowered his head and looked for cover. The entrance to the store was empty, there wasn't even a phone booth, so he could only hide behind a thin lamppost and pray for God's blessing that the boy's marksmanship was poor.

Tommy doesn't like to carry a gun with him, otherwise he will definitely pull out his gun and fight back immediately, but his henchman carries a gun, and his movements are not slow, and while Tommy dodges, the strong man shouts and bravely pulls out the gun.

"Bang bang" two gunshots rang out in quick succession, no one was hit, and the muzzle of the attacker's gun shifted at the critical moment because his head was hit by a coin flying through the air, causing him to lose his balance.

His fall saved his life, and the bullet grazed his body and hit a mailbox on the side of the road.

"Tommy!" After the strong man fired a shot, he saw the attacker fall to the ground, and he thought that he had hit it, so he hurried to see the situation of the boss.

"I'm fine, I'm fine......" Tommy breathed a sigh of relief and slowly regained his composure, he glanced at the situation in the dining room, and found that the two thugs had escaped through the back door, and he could basically conclude that this matter had nothing to do with this group. (To be continued......)
