Chapter 156: Quiet Hell's Kitchen
And so it was. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Mrs. Gao looked at Lelan with low eyebrows and said lightly.
"No, Mrs. Gao, Fisk forced me!"
Lelan, a former important member of the Gangster Alliance, knelt directly in front of Mrs. Gao without any image at this time, grabbed one of Mrs. Gao's legs with both hands, and looked up at Mrs. Gao's slitting eyes with sincerity, as if this could calm down the panic in his heart.
He said in a sad and painful tone: "He took my family and threatened me with their lives, if I don't help him, all my relatives will be killed by him, please!" Get around me! Mrs. Gao, I was forced to betray the alliance in desperation, I have no choice! ~”
At that moment, all the worries in Leland's heart became a reality, and the only thing he could ask for at this time was for Mrs. Gao to forgive him for his contributions to the Gangster Alliance for many years, and as for the rest, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Everyone has a choice." Mrs. Gao was unmoved when she heard this, her tone was still gentle, she looked down at Lelan's eyes and said slowly: "It's just that some people are sober when they choose, and some people are blinded by temptation when they choose, Lelan, we are old friends, I know that you will not be tempted by the interests of money, so, please tell me, in addition to your relatives, Wilson Fisk has provided you with something, no, no, don't worry, you think clearly before you say, believe me, you won't want to lie to me." ”
"What temptation? Anything...... Yes! ”
Mrs. Gao crossed the cane, suddenly reached Leland's jaw, and slammed it, directly knocking Leland out, and before Leland could finish speaking, the tip of the cane poked directly into his chest, no matter how he struggled, he was pressed to the ground.
It is unimaginable that Mrs. Gao's rickety old and weak body can have such strength.
"Once, sincerity and trustworthiness were your excellent qualities, Leland, I miss you once."
Mrs. Gao said, raising her cane and slowly moving it to the top of Leland's mouth.
Leland's pupils contracted instantly, and he shrank his neck back sharply, and at the same time hurriedly waved his hand and shouted in horror: "Wait! Wait a minute! I say! I say it all! ”
"Huh?"
Mrs. Gao stopped.
Seeing this, Lelan swallowed a few times before he said in a trembling voice: "Fisk has captured my family, please wait for me to finish!" ”
Seeing that Mrs. Gao's cane suddenly shook, Leland hurriedly shouted and continued: "It's true, he took my wife, and my son. ”
Mrs. Gao nodded with a smile and said, "Hehe! Your wife and children, so what are you going to say? Do you love them? I don't think it's much, but I know you have so-called homes somewhere else, well, there are four of them, and that's your love? ”
Leland closed his eyes, took a few breaths, as if appointed, and said with a resolute expression: "Fisk said that he would give me 10 million dollars, and in addition, he would hand over all the money of the underground forces in New York to me to manage, and at the same time let me have the power I have never had." ”
"That's all?" Mrs. Gao listened to Leland's words, and raised her eyebrows in surprise, she didn't think that Fisk's promise was any different from his previous in the Gangster League, only the extra ten million dollars.
"That's all." Lelan nodded, then looked at Mrs. Gao, her face was a little distorted, and said, "Only what you have in your hands is your own, and you can never give me what I want, you just treat me as an accountant, and this is not what I want." ”
"Oh! I see, what you want is power, and it is your own power. ”
Mrs. Gao finally understood the reason for Lelan's betrayal, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile bitterly, she never thought that what this strict financier was asking for was such a dangerous thing, she admitted, she looked away, but ......
"Thank you for your doubts, Leland, and ...... Bye. ”
Bang!
The cane pressed down hard, and with a muffled thud, the end of the cane hit the floor.
Mrs. Gao looked down at the brightly colored ground, withdrew her cane, and smiled slightly.
"Red, well, things should go well this time."
……
Hell's Kitchen night, a rare tranquility.
However, this tranquility made Sean a little uncomfortable.
Originally, he came out to digest dinner with nothing to do, and by the way, he was ready to have a chivalrous fight, but he was shocked.
He's just not in Hell's Kitchen for a few days, and Hell's Kitchen has turned his face on him, except for the familiar streets, familiar roadside shops, familiar neighbors and pedestrians, this place is still Hell's Kitchen?
He heard only one panicked scream throughout the night, but it was still a prank by a bored person for the sake of recording a video, and it was not a beautiful woman who was frightened, but a half-sized young man, and he heard the sound and then left, and then found an old building that was not too high, and sat down on the edge of the roof.
Blowing a refreshing cool breeze, looking down at Hell's Kitchen that has somehow become peaceful and calm, on the street, the pedestrians under the streetlights are not in a hurry as usual, that slow and leisurely pace fully explains the silence of Hell's Kitchen at this time.
After looking at it for a long time, Sean stood up and exhaled, with a big smile on his face.
The reason why he came out to be a vigilante at night was not because he longed to be a hero, he was just touched by the tragedy of Granny Ellie, at that time he only thought that this small place breeds so much evil and darkness, and countless families like Granny Ellie are infected and torn apart by this chaos.
He didn't pity Granny Ellie's son, because Granny Elli's son ended up so miserably because of the underworld, he could only say that he deserved it, he just took pity on Granny Ellie, although this kind and friendly old woman always smiled at him, but there was more of a sad and decaying atmosphere around him, which made him inevitably infected by it.
And now this state of Hell's Kitchen could not be better, and this kind of tranquility should be the best atmosphere for Granny Ellie to spend her old age in peace.
Since Hell's Kitchen is so quiet, Sean doesn't want to blow the wind here, no matter how refreshing the cool breeze is, it is not as comfortable for him as Jessica's warm bed and soft body.
On the way, Sean seemed to see a stout man in a dark red uniform passing through an alley, which made him pause slightly, but the other party's perception seemed to be quite powerful, and when he stopped, the man actually raised his head and looked up, which made him stunned, and then he thought of the blind lawyer.
It seems that there are people who are destined to follow the path of their destiny, but they are quite different from him, as for what is the difference? I guess it's faith.
