Chapter 49: The Stick and the Carrot
"What do you know, let's talk about it, if it's useful news, the organization is currently expanding, and there are still some vacant positions that can be reserved for you."
The little man's eyes lit up when he heard Roger's words.
In the past few days, the changes in the underground forces in New York's Brook District can be described as turbulent.
First of all, the two major underground organizations that each occupied half of the regional division, the Russian gang and the mafia, the leaders and core members of the two gangs were killed one after another, and then a group of local forces in Brooklyn that were originally attached to the Russian gang suddenly rose, although they did not occupy the territory of the original two major gangs, but they also occupied seventy-seven eighty-eight.
Larger territories require more manpower, although there are also rumors that the upper echelons of New York officials are not accustomed to the evil forces of the underground forces in Brooklyn, and have forcefully eliminated them.
Some of the non-local gang members heard the news and left for western or central America. But for some of the ordinary thugs who grew up in Brooklyn, they all broke their heads and wanted to join this new large organization.
The little man didn't hide anything, and told all the news he knew.
"The homeless people in the slums of Brooklyn disappeared in two weeks, but I don't know exactly when they would disappear because sometimes the homeless people themselves would run away or cause anyone to disappear."
"Well-informed people around were vaguely aware of this, and from time to time a container truck without any signs would drive into the slum and take people away. But the occasional news I got was that the trucks loaded with homeless people didn't leave Brooklyn, but ended up in a large abandoned construction factory in Brooklyn near Staten Island, near New York Harbor. ”
Hearing the latest address information, Rick was a little puzzled and interjected and asked, "How did you know this news?" ”
Rick's question stunned him.
This character, who has always been wearing a mask and pretending to be air, is actually a big boss, he has always paid attention, and when he hears the other party ask him aloud, he is both frightened and happy in his heart.
The joy is that what he said actually entered the other party's ears, and he also entered the other party's sight.
The same is true of the frightened, afraid that after they have finished speaking, they will disappear like those homeless people.
The little man looked slightly sideways at the three Roger brothers, who were motionless, and hurriedly answered Dorick's question.
"The factory is located in the middle of nowhere, and I have an outside subordinate who lives around and can do some chores for me. There are some discarded clutter in the construction factory, and he usually goes there to walk around. ”
"The last time he went to Florida for something, two months later, when I came back, which is the time I mentioned earlier, he was sleeping at home and faintly heard screams and some unusual yelling from the abandoned factory. The next day he told me what he had heard, and that he was going inside tonight. And then I haven't seen him since. ”
Sure enough, the little people are not to be underestimated, just like a screw has its important place.
Rick thought back after listening to the little man's description.
It happened in two weeks, and two weeks ago, it happened to be the time when his family moved from Los Angeles to New York, and with the secret research laboratory of Osborne where Harvey worked, it seemed that Uncle Harvey's involvement played a big role.
How should the Osborne enterprise respond, or how to deal with it?
The Osborne Enterprise is a behemoth, not as easily disposed of as a small gangster in a New York borough, and it doesn't show much of a trace.
This kind of trust-like enterprise that occupies the leading position in all aspects of bio and energy, Rick can't think of any countermeasures for a while. But maybe there is room for cooperation. Rick's mind flashed through the deadly genetic disease of the Osborne family.
Rick sat and thought, but the four of them looked at each other silently, and the sound of breathing was audible in the quiet bar.
Coming back to his senses, Rick tapped his finger on the table again, then nodded at Roger and said, "Take him down." ”
Hearing this, the little man's face turned pale for a moment, and he hurriedly said: "Don't kill me, I have money, and I still have a channel to find out the news, I can help you!" ”
Rick couldn't laugh a little after hearing this, this guy is too sensitive, "Roger, you said before that there are still some vacancies under your subordinates, find him an arrangement." ”
"Okay, boss." Roger nodded in response, not calling Rick's pseudonym George.
"Thank you boss, thank you boss. I will serve you from now on. The little white man nodded vigorously and followed Rhodes out of the bar.
When Rhodes closed the door from outside the bar and came in, there were only four brothers Rick and Roger in the bar again.
Rick took off his mask and reappeared with a young and immature face, but with a majestic expression this time.
"I have something here for the three of you, so that it is both a danger and an opportunity for you."
"The danger is that your life is in my hands at all times, and once I let it get out of control, your life will be in danger, leading to death."
Hearing what Rick said, Russell, the eldest of the three, took the lead in saying: "Boss George, you avenged our brother's blood revenge against our parents, our lives are all yours, not to mention that you are still alive and under your control, and you also said that there is a chance." Come and give it to me. ”
Roger's face was calm, and he also responded. The youngest Rhodes's face flickered for a moment, but he also nodded in agreement and said: "If Boss George wanted our lives, we would have died a long time ago, not to mention that we can still be in charge of the entire Brooklyn now, Boss, we all believe in you." ”
A slight smile appeared on Rick's face, he clenched his right hand into a fist and stretched out an index finger, and the fingertips gradually showed a pink arrogance, and then an oval-shaped, ping-pong ball-sized energy mass appeared on the fingertips, emitting a bewitching red light.
With a flick of his index finger, the energy mass touched the ground, only to see a flash of light, and a few finger-deep holes pierced through the marble-paved ground.
"This is your opportunity."
Seeing the scene in front of them, the three of them began to breathe rapidly, and their colors became hotter and hotter.
"I call it qi, and it can be mastered through self-training. I will inject my qi into your body, and if the external qi is not under the control of the owner of the qi itself, it will continue to destroy, and as my mind moves, it may directly hit the heart or brain and cause death. ”
"Of course, after I inject it into your body, it will keep the qi in a static state, and it will not change for a long time. That is, it will not cause harm to your body, and you can also master this ability by perceiving my qi to feel your own qi. ”
Although I didn't understand what Qi was talking about, I heard that this superpower could be possessed by myself, and then the deep marble hole in front of me. All three of them began to blush and become agitated.
Although Roger's face was the calmest of the three, the clenched fists under the table betrayed his excitement.
Thinking that Boss George not only has that kind of spatial ability, but also this kind of superpower that can be passed on to others, the trace of ambition in Roger's heart slowly flooded.
Led by Boss George, the Dire Order is more than just a small underground force in Brooklyn.
Rick summoned the three of them to him one by one, holding each other's left shoulder with his right hand, and under Rick's control, a breath of qi went all the way down the contact position until the heart shrunk into a ball, motionless.
"Okay, I have released a qi in the bodies of the three of you, and I will help you restrain the qi and strengthen it every half a month to prevent the qi from getting out of control and hurting you."
"You should also exercise more in normal times, try your best to perceive, and control your own qi as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you, Boss."
Seeing that the three of them were all sitting quietly on the side, their eyes closed and they seemed to feel something again, Rick smiled faintly in his heart.
Is Qi so easy to master?
In the Kombat Whirlwind, even the little gangsters are all big muscle tyrants, and this kind of physical quality is not everyone who can master the qi, and Rick himself can quickly control his own qi by relying on the powerful imba's body after the baptism of the red dragon's essence blood.
The gas will gradually dissipate over time, and it will be released again every half a month to strengthen the insurance.
Before, there was no means of control, but now that there is, how can Rick still let his subordinates act without scruples.
"Pay attention to your body and train more. The world of the future will be wonderful. ”
With that, Rick turned and walked towards the secret door in the back room of the bar. I thought to myself.
By the time you get your hands on it, I'm afraid I'll be able to kill Thanos.
