Chapter Seventy-Two: The Big Four
With a wave of his hand, Carmelo interrupted the confession between Snorlan and Malan.
"Ma Lan, tell me why you're here?" Carmelo looked at Maran.
"Father, I was ordered by Lieutenant General Costana to eradicate the Dock Brotherhood."
"Why?"
"In order that after Lieutenant General Costana occupies Port Ward, these thugs will not cause trouble for Lieutenant General." Ma Lan lied with a calm face.
"Your ability to open your eyes and tell nonsense has improved a lot," Carmelo snorted coldly, he was not a fool, and in a blink of an eye he understood the joint, "You just want to use this to shorten the supply chain of Port Ward for a day or two." ”
"Father, if that's the case, then why should I start with a small dock brotherhood? They don't matter at all. ”
"Alright, stop lying to me, the only one in Ward Harbor who can collect money from these citizens is the Docks Brotherhood, City Hall? They thought, but it's a pity that they had to be beaten to death by the mob as soon as they started to loot the people's fat and ointment! Eradicating the Dock Brotherhood, the supply chain in Port Ward will be shortened by two days, and with your ability, a month is about the same, and it will take a month for Kostana to raise supplies for the four armies, right? ”
Ma Lan's face was slightly gloomy: "Father is really discerning. ”
"Although I am no longer in Segou, I can't hide what happened in Segou. Kostana is an old friend of mine, I don't know what you're really going to do with her? ”
"That's what my father said about my mother back then." Ma Lan said lightly.
"You-" Carmelo glared angrily, "Marlene's business, it's my fault. Forget it, you go, do what you have to do, come to me again if you have something. ”
After saying that, Carmelo threw a communication crystal to Malan, who put it away and took Valina away.
"Teacher, he'...... Is it your son? Snowland asked, incredulous.
Carmelo nodded and said, "Yes, he is my son and Marlene's, Maran. Let's go back, go back and talk about something else. ”
The three of them nodded and went back to Carmelo's house together. The ladies on the second floor of Lucas's house picked up a life, and Malan didn't have time to lead his men to slaughter the ladies on the second floor, otherwise, Emmaran's idea would not have left a living for Lucas's family.
The Dock Brotherhood's midtown tycoon died like this, very suddenly, and in this situation where the rain was about to blow the buildings full, it was tantamount to a hard flick on the tense frontal nerves of the people of Ward Harbor. Port Ward was boiling. The townspeople don't know if this is an ordinary vendetta, the product of a growing power struggle within the Brotherhood, or a precursor to the Brotherhood's downfall.
Now, the big brother who took the lead is also in a hurry.
"Inform all the giants and warriors to come to me for a meeting." The big brother who took the lead couldn't see his face under the mask, but the guards next to him could hear from his tone that there would not be a happy face under the mask.
The mid-level and high-level members of the Dock Brotherhood are ready for a meeting. They soon gathered at the house of the eldest brother in the lead to prepare for a meeting. In a large conference room, the leading brother sat in the main seat, and the remaining two giants sat next to him, one on the left and one on the right, followed by twenty-four warriors.
"Everyone." The leading brother spoke, "The current situation is very grim. City Hall had handed over Midtown to us, and we were supposed to be burdened with a lot of money, and now it looked like someone was eyeing us. But it doesn't matter, over the years, there have been more people eyeing us, but which of them has succeeded? Now that our esteemed elder Lucas has died a glorious death, we must carry on his legacy and establish the Brotherhood's place in Port Ward once and for all! ”
The people below applauded.
"Now, Lucas's place is vacant. But the territory of Midtown is also a lot larger, and only one giant is afraid that it can't be managed. Kane! "Take the lead Big Brother and greet Kane.
Kane immediately stood up: "Take the lead, big brother!" ”
"You've been promoted to Silver, you're the best of the warriors, you've been a member of the Brotherhood since you were a child, you've been loyal to the Brotherhood for so many years, and you've made it so great that I'm now appointing you the Third Giant, overseeing half of Midtown."
Kane puffed out his chest: "Thank you, big brother, for taking the lead!" I'm going to be a fool of the fraternity! ”
The eldest brother waved his hand and motioned for Kane to sit down: "You will do your best to contribute to the Brotherhood in the future." Chris! ”
Chris also stood up.
"You've been following me for so many years, and although you're only at the bronze level, your combat power is the strongest among these warriors. You'll be the fourth giant of the Brotherhood, overseeing the other half of Midtown! ”
Chris also puffed out his chest: "Thank you, big brother, for taking the lead!" ”
"Well, you must carefully search for Lucas's murderer in the days to come, and those who dare to challenge the Brotherhood must die! Meeting! After speaking, the eldest brother who took the lead stood up and left the table directly.
The middle and upper echelons of the fraternity also left. A few warriors who knew each other congratulated Kane and Chris.
Chris came to Kane at this moment: "Big brother! ”
Kane waved his hand and said, "You're also a giant now, on the same level as me, so don't say that again." ”
Chris smiled flatteringly and said, "Big brother, I will recognize you as my eldest brother one day, then you will be my eldest brother in this life, and it will be all yours in Midtown in the future." ”
Kane smiled and said, "Okay, Chris, Midtown still has half of you." Let's go, let's go find the man who killed Lucas. ”
In fact, Kane had already guessed in his heart that Lucas was probably killed by Snorlan and others, and he decided to find an opportunity to go to Carmelo's house and ask Snolan and Leslie.
Without further ado, Kane returned home, cleaned up briefly, and headed for Carmelo's house.
And Carmelo was thinking about Snorlan, Theresa, and Leslie about Marlan's relationship with him.
"So...... Malan is a teacher, your son? After listening to these old things, Snorlan was still a little incredulous.
"Indeed, Maran is the son of me and Marlene. He should be eighteen years old this year. ”
"Then he's quite mature." Snorlan laughed and said he thought Marand was twenty-five or sixteen years old.
"He's a quarter of elven blood, after all. Although elves have a very long lifespan, their childhood is very short. ”
"Then teacher, is he the heir of the Clinton family you said?" Snolan asked.
"Yes, the current head of the Clinton family is Lieutenant General Clinton of the Ségou General Staff, Marlene's younger brother, Ma Lan's uncle, he should be the deputy minister of the Ministry of Intelligence now, he has no heirs, and the Clinton family only has an excellent male in Ma Lan, and the others are overwhelmed."
"So...... Now that I'm in a relationship with you, it seems that I can't target him for revenge. Snorlan said.
Carmelo nodded, "I can't ask for anything, but I hope you don't target Malan or Kostana." This is my request to you as a father and a friend. ”
