The appointed day soon came.

It was not only Zhang Heng who received the invitation, but basically all the high-level leaders of all the big and small forces were present on this day.

By the morning, there were no more people loitering in the nearby streets, but instead a group of fierce-looking men who not only stood guard in front of the tavern, but also basically controlled the two surrounding streets.

And the invitees, regardless of the size of the forces behind them, can only bring two of their subordinates to the appointment.

This is obviously to prevent someone from taking advantage of the opportunity.

The mixed settlement of Jews and other foreigners, located in the southeast of the city of Rome, has been a place of extrajustice since the time of Hadrian, with thieves, assassins, robbers, and villains...... gatherings, which are not regulated by law.

Most of the time they are more accustomed to talking with their fists, after all, this is a world of the jungle, but sometimes when it is not cost-effective to go to war, they will also sit down and negotiate, of course, most of the time the negotiations are limited to the two or three parties involved, like this, one of the three major forces takes the lead, and the invitation to everyone basically only happens once in six or seven years.

And this time often means that there has been a major event that affects the vast majority of forces in the near future, and this time is no exception, and everyone who receives the invitation knows what this gathering is for.

Therefore, many people are waiting to see the good show of Zhang Heng and his patrol team.

Especially those small forces who have been bullied by the patrol during this period of time, they are looking forward to returning to the good old days, and they hope that those big forces can uphold justice for them, restrain the patrol, and prevent the patrol from doing anything wrong, and continue to play the role of their mascots.

Among them, there was one person who showed the most eagerness, his eyes were obviously full of hatred, and everyone here was no stranger to him, he was the boss of the medium-sized force who was scattered by the patrol for revenge and raids, and the unlucky ghost with the nickname Bronze Arm.

After being defeated, he immediately ran to the territory of the Jewish Gang, as the area with the largest number of Jews in the southeast, the Jewish Gang is also the largest force here, with the largest number of people, controlling almost half of the business in this area, but under normal circumstances, the Jewish Gang will not interfere too much with the actions of the people below.

Because this is considering the criminal environment here, there will be no shortage of bold people if there is a lack of anything, the replacement of the forces at the bottom, and the battles for turf are commonplace, as long as the new replacement can still pay the income that should be paid in full, those top forces don't care who is helping them manage their business below.

However, the situation of the copper arm is more special, he himself is a member of the Jewish Gang, before he helped lend money in an underground gladiatorial arena of the Jewish Gang, and used this relationship to meet a lot of underground gladiators who could fight, and then when the opportunity came, he circled a territory outside to do it himself, because he was backed by the Jewish Gang, the first big gang, his power developed very rapidly, and he became a well-known medium-sized force in two years.

But just five days ago, his good days came to an end, and before he could figure out what was going on, he was inexplicably involved in the beating of patrol members, Zhang Heng took advantage of the excuse that the person was rejected to lead people to raid his territory, and when the copper arm saw that the situation was not good and decided to hand over the people first, he found that the people in his hands were gone, and finally he didn't even succeed in giving in, not only lost the territory, but also the copper arm collected people afterwards, and only collected less than twenty people.

This was equivalent to returning him to the pre-liberation period almost overnight, so Bronze Arm had to ask for help from the Jewish gang behind him.

And this afternoon's gathering, in his opinion, is almost a trial of what Zhang Heng and his patrol have done during this time, but this is not Giulia Basilica, and it is not the laws of Rome that are observed, but the rules set by the three major forces.

Therefore, in the eyes of the copper arm, Zhang Heng didn't want to walk out of the tavern alive this time.

…………

At this time, it was very close to the start of the party, but no one on Zhang Heng's side showed up, and the soap group was almost the last to arrive, he did not bring his best brother Skinny Monkey this time, but brought two ruthless characters with big shoulders and round waists that could be beaten at a glance.

But even so, Soap still felt a little weak, how could he, a person who has lived here since childhood, not heard of the name of the Jewish Gang, and his previous dream was to join the Jewish Gang, become a member of it, and no longer have to be exploited by iron handcuffs, but at that time, he never imagined that although he failed to become a member of the Jewish Gang, he actually became an enemy of the Jewish Gang.

It can only be said that fate is really amazing.

When he led people into the door, the eyes around him were generally full of hostility, it was not a secret that Soap and the patrol were close, and when the two sides first cooperated, they had used this relationship to overshadow many people, and his newly rising small force would develop so quickly.

Of course, the price is that he is not very popular with other forces now, when Soap entered the door, he had heard words such as "traitor" or "lackey" more than once, and some people even did not shy away from cursing him in person, and Soap was only a thief after all, although he performed very well some time ago, and began to find some feeling of being the boss, but many people here are more powerful and territorial than him.

was stared at by them together, saying that he was not afraid that it was fake, and his biggest reliance on the patrol team was not present at this time, and taking a step back, even if he did, it was estimated that he would not be able to protect himself.

After receiving the invitation, Soap rushed to Zhang Heng and asked the latter what he planned to do, but Zhang Heng just told him not to worry.

But how can they not be worried, they are now facing all the forces in the southeast city, united and ready to attack them. Ren Soap didn't know how to pass this time if he wanted to break his scalp, but fortunately, the expression on his face didn't betray his true thoughts.

Soap couldn't look calm, but it was still okay to keep a straight face, and he didn't have the courage to scold back in the face of the insults, so he took two of his subordinates to find a corner where there was no one and sat down.

After waiting for a while, basically all the people of the forces arrived, except for Zhang Heng and the patrol he represented.

So Soap saw a middle-aged Jew walking downstairs, who was not low in status in the Jewish gang and was also the person in charge of the meeting, and he now walked directly to Soap and spoke.

"Is it so difficult to invite the people of the patrol, all the people here who are older than them and have more power have already arrived in advance, only they have not yet appeared, do they want Mr. Lockyd to wait for them?"
