Chapter 16: Reliable Allies
The fighting lasted intermittently all night, and with the early sun rising in the east, the morning breeze finally blew away the smell of blood and gunpowder.
The do-gooders lurking in the darkness strictly adhered to the rules of the game, and reluctantly suspended the offensive against the boys.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Douglas has time to change into a brand new suit and head to the port to welcome his allies...
Even if it is only a superficial ally, the Carpenbergi's arrival has played a role in changing the situation - compared to Douglas and his Golden Rose, the Capone gang, who have been roaming the West Sea for many years, is obviously more intimidating.
Mixed in the quagmire of several conflicts, they are like natural war maniacs, and they can always stay behind in the confrontation with several major families, and even take advantage.
So even though many people hate the Capone gang, they still have to admit their existence.
β¦ To some extent, a large part of the reason why the four major families are now spending so much effort to deal with the Golden Rose is because Douglas has found such a partner.
From a purely businessman's point of view, Douglas's gold dust business could actually be cooperated with any of the four major families, so that although the profits would be diluted, the backlash would never be as fierce as it is now.
But for the more radical teenagers, the results were too slow, and in order to improve his status as soon as possible, he resolutely chose to give it a go.
β¦
Ferry docking.
Today's bright sun in Scampara has dotted the deck with a golden hue.
Under the gaze of many pairs of eyes, one of the protagonists of this drama is slowly stepping down the gangway, leisurely.
The gray top hat obscured his eyes, and from Douglas's point of view, he could only see the slightly stocky man's bearded chin and the cigar that seemed to be in his mouth and seemed to be unable to finish smoking.
Behind him, more men in striped suits respectfully followed in his footsteps, including Werther, the negotiator who had come to negotiate with Douglas last time.
"Yo! Disrespectful and disrespectful, isn't this President Douglas? How do you work to greet in person? β
Witt, with a strange gun at his waist, took two quick steps to the Golden Rose's pick-up first, and opened his mouth in that nasty ridiculous voice.
However, the boy did not answer his implicit malicious question, and his ice-blue eyes only stopped on him for a moment, and then bypassed Werther and locked directly on the main owner.
Douglas: "The boss let the minions come out before he even opened his mouth, and Becky, your way of being a royal doesn't seem to be very good." β
"What!?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, boy!"
"How dare you be disrespectful to the Godfather! Take him down! β
Capenbecky: "Shut up. β
The members of the gang were furious at Douglas's provocation, but Beckey himself didn't seem to care.
As the godfather of the family, as soon as he opened his mouth, all his subordinates, including Werther, suddenly did not dare to say a word.
"The little imp of the Osiris family, hehe, is really as powerful as the rumors." Holding a cigar, Capenbecky admired it, but in his eyes it was clearly just contempt, "But little ghost, in the world of gangsters, strength means everything, are you stupid to dare to speak ill of each other when you obviously need help?" β
"You can just turn around and leave."
Douglas spread his hands out, and his flat tone did not seem to be fake.
"What matters is the fact that we are here today... I will tell the people of the four families that the formula for the new medicine has been handed over to the Capone family to take away, and I can't guarantee what they will do when the time comes. β
"Are you threatening me?" Carpenbecki accentuated his voice: "You understand what you're doing?" β
"I don't need you to remind you, Becky, it's not a threat at this level," Douglas shook his hand, "I know that you and your group of bandits have long been accustomed to being chased around by the five major families, but I personally still have to advise you to think clearly, if you choose to leave at this time, from now on, you will offend one more person." β
"Oh? Is there such a number one person in the West Sea? β
"That's right."
Douglas took another step forward, his eyes level at Becky, without the slightest timidity.
"Listen, although the owner of this name is still an inconsequential little person at the moment, one day you will regret your decision today... Yes, you will regret betraying the covenant you made with me, and you will regret offending the name Douglas. β
"Heh... Hahaha! Arrogant! Arrogant! Capenbecki laughed, and the rest of the family behind him laughed, but even in the face of everyone's ridicule, the boy had no intention of giving in.
"So what? Say what you decide, Capenbecky. β
"Terrible, terrible, okay little ghost, just take it as a reward for your courage" He snuffed out the cigar in his mouth and also took a step in the direction of the boy, "Tell me, if your so-called plan does not satisfy me, I will make it impossible for you to say another word in your life." β

Conflicts in the harbor are on the verge of breaking out, and on the other side of the island's coastline, the fleets of the four great families are approaching Scampala.
Among the five major families of the West Sea mafia forces, except for Osiris, the remaining four families were all selected at this moment and landed separately.
- In order to resist the piracy raids, the spontaneous association formed by the Scarlet House "Red Family"!
ββOriginally connected by the remnants of the brutal kingdom that were attacked and destroyed, but in the past hundred years, it has gradually expanded to various underground merchants of black market business, the blood money clan "The Bryde Family"!
- The victor of the war of the poor revolt, the fanatical rose "House of Rose"!
ββThe melee border line of the countries continues to make a living by mercenary business, and finally forms a new force with the power of harmony, the mercenary "Mosenir"!
These forces, who are usually well-known in the underground dark world, now have landed on the island the day before the auction officially opens, which is really a very terrifying thing for those in the know!
Compared to the conquest of a single family, this situation of multiple powerful oligarchs coming together often means a more brutal war, which means that hundreds of lives will fall.
And in the orderly fleet of all four, a small schooner towed by the Ross alone behind the other large ships stands out as a standout...
His outfit was unobtrusive, but it was vaguely independent of the Ross family's phalanx, as if none of his companions wanted anything to do with him.
On the deck of that ship, a young man in an old military uniform couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the spectacular mafia forces in front of him.
"Captain, what are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing" The man waved his hand, "I just couldn't help but sigh, it's obviously a hypocritical alliance to guard against each other, but I still have to deliberately pretend to be the same enemy, these big guys are really hard~"
