47. Pleasant transactions
"How did he end up in the Gulag?"
Leo asked with interest.
The name Ben Turner may still be a little unfamiliar to him, but the nickname "Bronze Tiger" evokes deep memories in his mind.
If you had to make a list of the most powerful martial artists in the world, Bronze Tiger Ben Turna would be in the top five.
He was the elder brother of Ms. Siva and had been with her teacher for the longest time, leaving the teacher after completing his studies.
In his early years, he traveled the world with his fellow disciple Richard Long, and won the second title of "Dragon and Tiger".
Bronze Tiger is one of the most powerful martial artists in the world, representing the ultimate in human fighting ability, but compared to Ms. Siva, who pursues the ultimate in martial arts, his only flaw is probably that he is not strong enough.
To put it simply, it is a lack of courage to make decisive decisions and to bear the consequences.
Of course, it can also be considered that he is benevolent and not decisive enough.
For example, Ms. Siva, who also graduated from the school, rarely showed hesitation and weakness, and did not have the slightest psychological burden for killing and destruction.
So Ben Turner is at most in the top five, while Ms. Siva is firmly in the top three – and if you exclude some open roles, it won't be a problem to successfully occupy the top spot.
What the? Batman, a martial arts master who is well-versed in many genres?
Seriously speaking, if you don't rely on equipment and high technology, and just fight with hand-to-hand, that Dark Knight of Gotham can only belong to the damage measurement unit in front of Bronze Tiger and Lady Siva.
The specific scenarios are as follows-
Bronze Tiger: "I can fight two Batmans!" ”
Ms. Siva: "I can probably fight four or five." ”
Batman: "......"
Ahem, let's get down to business.
According to Ms. Siwa, the above two brothers have not had much contact since they left the school.
Therefore, Leo was inevitably surprised to see the appearance of the bronze tiger in the Gulag prison.
Could it be that the other party, like Ms. Siva, is ready to be among the villains and thugs in order to sharpen his martial arts?
"I've inquired about that big man's deeds, and it's funny."
Ivankov saw that Leo was interested, and he didn't sell it, and said with a smile: "Underground black boxing has always been popular in Russia, and every year gangs start a ring fight, and the bounty is enough to make any boxer crazy. ”
The two chatted and sat back on the couch, with vodka and cigars on the table, and Ivankov motioned for Leo to take it for himself.
"That big black guy should have been deceived by his agent, and after winning six games in a row to win high popularity, he should have lost to a fighter trained by the skinheads, and it turned out that the tiger crippled people."
Ivankov's eyes were full of appreciation, he had tried to win over Ben Turner before, but how could the bronze tiger, who considered himself a martial artist, look down on the gangsters.
Even if the person who invited him was the godfather of the former Russian gangster, he still chose to refuse.
Ivankov was a man of understanding, and instead of being angry, he told his men not to provoke Ben Turner and avoid a tragedy.
"You know, it's not easy to train a good fighter, and of course the skinheads won't give up, and after running that agent to death with a car, they gathered forty or fifty people to find this Mr. Turner, who knows that he will be killed again."
The gangster godfather in prison smiled and looked at Leo as he raised his glass.
History is always strikingly similar, and the young man in front of him has also suffered a lot from Chechen militants and the Sun Gang.
Ms. Siva, in particular, has left a strong psychological shadow on many gang bosses, and the underground gangs in Moscow still circulate the terrible deeds of a certain goddess of revenge.
"As a result of the use of firearms and weapons by the skinheads, at least 30 people were killed or wounded. The incident became so big that it even alarmed the Federal Security Service, so Mr. Turner was thrown into prison, and the skinheads offered a hefty bounty for it, so in the first few months there were killers coming in and lying out. ”
Leo nodded thoughtfully, if he hadn't appeared, Bronze Tiger would most likely continue to be locked up in the Gulag Prison until Amanda Waller of the Eye Society was discovered by chance and became a figure on the suicide squad list.
Maybe he will also investigate the Assassin League, and then be brainwashed by the ninja master and become a thug from then on.
It seems that the butterfly effect has changed a lot of things. Leo thought.
"So can I take one more person with me?"
Leo took a sip of vodka, and the liquor poured into his throat as if swallowing a fire.
His eyes narrowed slightly, since he had met the copper tiger so coincidentally, he happened to be a student of Ms. Siwa.
is reasonable, seeing that the bronze tiger who is considered a master and uncle in terms of seniority is in prison, it is impossible to ignore it, right?
As for bringing it with you as a thug or something, collecting three golden cards from the Dragon and Tiger and Ms. Siva, these are definitely not Leo's original intentions.
"You're really going to give people a problem."
Ivankov smiled, neither agreeing nor refusing.
The godfather of the Russian gangster has a different attitude towards Leo.
On the one hand, because this young man really has a great appetite for him, he is simply a natural thug!
On the other hand, there is naturally the bonus of White's industrial background power.
"You want me to get you out of the gulag?"
Leo raised an eyebrow and asked, just as Ivankov admired himself, he also liked this old man who had done a lot of bad things and was unwilling to repent until he died.
Judging me is God's thing. This phrase is a mantra on Ivankov's lips.
"No, no, no, my friend. If I wanted to leave this prison, I wouldn't have waited until now. ”
Ivankov shook his head with a smile.
Many years ago, Chechen militants kidnapped the plenipotentiary of the Russian president in Chechnya, and the Federal Security Service approached him at that time and made a deal for him to settle the matter on the condition of regaining his freedom.
As a "law thief" in the nineties of the last century, Ivankov has unimaginable influence and seniority even if he is locked up in prison, and he still firmly controls the gang forces outside the high walls.
Only Ivankov rejected the deal offered by the Federal Security Service, which surprised everyone, but the hostage crisis was resolved within three days.
Later insiders said that it was the Caucasian gangsters who acted because their boss once owed Ivankov a favor.
"This is not the old days, when we relied on our fists and seniority to win our position and believe in the promises of our friends, but the new generation of gangsters out there, who used dollars and guns to solve everything, betrayed allies and brothers like eating and drinking......"
Ivankov pressed Leo's shoulder, and the old face cast of copper and iron was full of ferocity and violence at this time.
It's like a lion that is dying old, but has not lost its sharp teeth and fangs.
"I've been a bad guy and a villain all my life, do you want me to go out and be like them again, and become a thug who doesn't speak of credibility and betrays my friends?"
Leo was silent and drank the vodka from his glass.
"I'm going to hand over Ben Turner and Leila Michaels to you and take them out."
Ivankov's eyes were like ice blades, sharp and cold, and he said word by word: "Help me sweep away the skinheads in the prison!" A bunch of cowards who only bully the weak, and I've been tired of them for a long time. ”
"Coincidentally, I don't like the skinhead scouts either."
Leo smiled in a low voice, and then said goodbye: "Goodbye, Ivankov, if only God can judge you, then I wish you to go to hell after death, that is the world that belongs to you." ”
"I'll give you a place there, you likable little bastard."
The old man laughed and pulled a Havana cigar out of the box on the table.
"By the way, remember to help me deliver a crate of vodka to Ward 4 to the old man named Viktor Rezenov. That's my reward for winning a fighting game. ”
Leo seemed to remember something, and suddenly said to Ivankov.
That's what he promised the old man!
"Rezenov...... Hehe, he, like me, is an old antique from the last era. Too many stories have been told today, drink bars! ”
Ivankov's eyes narrowed when he heard the name, and he spat out a puff of cyan smoke.
The noise and shouting downstairs were still boiling, and there were still forty minutes left before the end of the fighting game.
Leo drank half a bottle of vodka when he saw Leila Michaels who had been brought up.
This field agent of the Tianyan Society, his face was haggard and pale, and it seemed that his time in prison was not easy.
"Agent Michael, I'm here to take you home."
Leo whistled lightly, and a smile appeared on his young face.
