In the continent of Faerun, which is filled with bandits, bandits, thieves, monsters, evil gods, dragons, demons, and devils, death is never something to be fussed about.

Especially in a place like the Beggar's Nest, which is rife with poverty, chaos and crime, it's normal for two gang leaders to die.

The guards in charge of maintaining order didn't even bother to ask, leaving the corpses to be disposed of within the gang, as long as they didn't make too much noise.

So, the poor orc warrior's head was cut off and sent to the town hall in exchange for a bounty of three hundred gold coins.

As for the other unlucky egg and the rest of the corpse, it was thrown directly into the sewer to feed the rats.

Sitting in the cleaned house, Zhang Cheng looked at these nervous beggars, thieves, and thugs standing in front of him with a blank face, and it took a full minute before he asked, "Tell me, how much can these people pay every day?"

"Look at the market! Especially pickpockets, if they are lucky, they can steal hundreds of gold coins, but if they are unlucky, they don't even have a single gold coin. But in general, there are still three or four hundred gold coins per month. Tifflin, who called himself Jesse, hastened to give an answer.

Perhaps the uninformed will think that a thirteen-year-old knows how to manage a gang.

But she knew very well that inside this seemingly thin body was not a boy's soul at all, but a monster with unimaginable power.

"Three or four hundred gold coins a month, that's too little!" Zhang Cheng subconsciously frowned.

"Ben...... Benny: Three or four hundred gold coins is already the limit of what we can do! If we have more, we will all starve to death. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy finally couldn't help but plead.

You don't need to ask to know that he knows the original boy, so he mustered up the courage to try to bargain, if it was the former orc warrior, he didn't even dare to raise his head.

"Shut up, do you have a part in interjecting when the boss speaks? If you're not convinced, I don't mind teaching you an impressive lesson. Without saying a word, Jesse picked up his whip and drew a trail of blood on the other's body.

"Ahh

Just as Tiefling was about to whip the second whip, Zhang Cheng suddenly raised his hand and stopped: "Enough! Stealing, begging, and collecting protection money are all too low-level, no matter how you raise the commission, you won't make much money." We have to think differently and step out of the traditional gangster realm. ”

"What do you mean......" Jesse's eyes lit up, cautiously tentatively.

"Use the gold in your inventory to buy some materials, and I can teach you how to concoct a few potions, and then sell them to those adventurers, mercenaries, and pirates. Zhang Cheng pursed the corners of his mouth and showed a meaningful smile.

As an alchemist, he had thousands of recipes in his mind, most of which required the power of alchemy stones and magic, but there were always a few low-level potions that could be mass-produced without complex casting.

What's more, strictly speaking, the Faren Continent is quite abundant in magical energy, and it has a lot of special materials that can be used.

"Understand, please give me a list, and I'll buy it myself. Jesse didn't talk nonsense, and directly agreed, without even asking why.

Similarly, the young man who was whipped for his mouth was also secretly relieved to hear that he would not increase the surrender ratio.

In a place like the Beggar's Nest, it's never easy to live.

As for what life is precious and life is priceless, it is completely a joke.

Any gang leader can easily decide a person's life and death on his own turf.

That's why, the inhabitants of the Beggar's Lair would rather submit to the gang than listen to the self-proclaimed righteous and good guards and temple paladins.

The reason is simple, guards and temple paladins are not encountered every day, but the gang members are rooted here and can be seen almost every day.

If anyone dares to call in the guards and paladins to administer justice for a moment, then after these guys leave, the rest of the gang will go out en masse and kidnap the informant's entire family.

Men cut out their tongues, gouged out their eyes, and threw them down the drain for rats to eat.

Women are even more miserable, not only will they suffer, but they will also be sold into special service places until they are old and decrepit, or they can not bear the humiliation and suicide before they can be liberated.

Life is so cheap here, and the vast majority of people are destined to suffer from the moment they are born.

Feeling the despair emanating from the entire beggar's nest, Zhang Cheng immediately narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself: "Countless numb souls! Struggling souls! This is simply my ideal testing ground! Now, let me see what is the difference between gods and titans......

The words just fell!

He went straight back to his room on the second floor, closed the door and took the quill, and began to write on the parchment the names of materials that even the most knowledgeable mage did not know to be of any use.

Jesse, on the other hand, wields a whip downstairs and loudly threatens and intimidates the thieves, beggars, and thugs who have been summoned, warning everyone not to have crooked intentions.

Unfortunately, greed and lust can always make people lose their minds and calm.

......

After the disbandment, a young man who looked to be in his early twenties sneakily walked through the filthy alley to the dilapidated house at the other end of the beggar's nest.

As soon as he entered, the one-eyed man sitting in his chair immediately asked, "How is it? Have you inquired clearly? Is Okocha dead? Who killed him? Who is in control of the territory in the northwest corner now?"

"Boss Angus, inquire clearly. It was Benny who killed Okocha, and the devil Jesse was helping him take over the territory. The young man spoke quickly and gave an answer.

"Benny, that pickpocket, how is this possible!" the one-eyed man known as Angus stood up sharply, a look of disbelief on his face.

"I think there's a problem too, but now that Okocha is dead, we can take advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack. As long as Benny dies, according to the character of the devil Jesse, he will definitely choose to surrender instead of stubbornly resisting. The young man suggested with an excited face.

"Raid? sounds like a good choice. When do you think the right time is right?" Angus's only intact eye flickered with a blazing fire of ambition.

"Tonight is the best chance! Don't forget, Benny is only a thirteen-year-old boy, and a pickpocket, and most people don't think he can be a good gang boss. All you need to do is pay a little money, and I'll take some of them and keep them at home at night. ”

"Okay, here's two hundred gold coins, you can take them and move around a little. After tonight, I'm going to be the biggest gang boss in the entire Beggar's Nest territory. ”
