The carriage drove all the way to the store of the Westside Comptoir in Manny, and without disturbing the employees at the front counter, it quietly entered through the back door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn one room, Al changed into the costume that the old butler had prepared the night before, and a handsome noble boy immediately turned into an ordinary civilian boy who could be seen everywhere.

He walked out of the room just in time to see Freeman bringing little Peter over.

"Good day, Master Al. Although the person is small, the posture of the salute is decent, and it seems that he has matured a lot in these days of tempering in the firm.

Al nodded, "Little Peter, I've heard that you've been familiar with this Manny district inside and out during this time. Little Peter straightened his chest, and his face showed a hint of triumph. "Today, please be a guide again and take me through the entire Manny district. By the way, don't call me young master today, you can just call me sir. ”

Instead of riding in a carriage, Al chose to walk. While walking, Peter also introduced: "Although Manny District is full of shops and mixed fish, people who are not familiar with it are estimated to be dizzy and unable to recognize the way when they walk around. But actually after so many years of development. There are still several general areas, and the largest and central area is the trading houses that run the trade routes, that is, the so-called foot merchants. The amount of goods they transport back and forth every day is staggering, and the whole day is full of people, mules and horses neighing, and it is the most lively. ”

"The area closer to the Hileven district is where the grain and salt shops are concentrated. After all, these two lines rely on gathering sand into a tower and water into a trickle. The more people who buy, the more money they make, and the main buyers are the large number of civilians in Helivan. ”

"The banks are not clustered, but scattered among the many shops, one in the east and one in the west, supposedly to make it easier for all the shops to do business nearby. Little Peter lowered his voice, "I also heard, it is said that at the beginning, several banks fought for turf, after all, the building near the water has the first month." In the same situation, everyone must choose a bank that is close to them, which is convenient and safe. As the battle intensified, it is said that even assassination methods were used. In the end, a few bankers went bankrupt and committed suicide, and the remaining big banks formed the current situation where the king did not see the queen and did not see the queen. ”

"As for the area closer to Hawley, there are naturally all kinds of shops selling luxury goods, which have always been deserted, and they belong to the area that is either not open and open for three years. Periodically, the butlers of the noble lords would come to those shops to make purchases. It's a pity that the big businessman there has been doing business for many years, but he has never even seen his own customers. Little Peter said and glanced at Al, who often showed up, not caring at all about their commoner status, and did not have the rumored "reserve" of the nobles. Was it because he was a foreign nobleman? Little Peter was a little confused.

He used to work in those luxury stores, and heard the display cases there talk about the gossip of the aristocracy. They all knew each other, as if they were not merchants, but the elders of the House of Nobles, who told the rumors one by one as if they had witnessed them. Speaking of the Marquis Al Edward, who has recently become in the limelight and has a great reputation, some people swear that the entire aristocratic circle of Hawley is making fun of this great nobleman of the West as a hillbilly, thinking that he has been hanging out with some mud-legged people, which is really a loss of identity and a loss of face for all nobles.

Whether this Young Master El is a hillbilly or not, whether he is disgraced Little Peter doesn't know, and this is not something that his identity can be commented on. It's just that compared to those nobles who are high above and never see each other, this young master Al who can see two sides from time to time is undoubtedly very amiable, at least little Peter and some of his friends, as well as the employees in the trading house, like this young master El very much.

Because he behaves like a living person, and sees them as human beings, that's all.

Al listened with great interest, and his mind recalled many movies and novels that he had seen on the earth, the grudges of love and hatred, and the treacherous business wars, all condensed in this land and the people who lived here, and I don't know how many tragicomedies were staged every day. Thinking like this, Al suddenly remembered a very important force that he had been ignoring before.

He asked: "Little Peter, there are any famous gangster organizations in this Manny District, where people of all religions and nine ranks gather?" The ancients include the "Mojia" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the world-famous Hongmen, you must know that Sun Yat-sen carried out revolutionary activities in Honolulu back then, and he also has the background of Hongmen, and he is so arrogant that even the government has a headache and is helpless Colombian drug dealers. In this chaotic Manny district, and in the Hileven district, will there be an underworld? Al is sure not to believe it, and maybe there is a so-called "underworld" that exists.

Who knew that his question made little Peter nervous. He looked around warily, and while no one was looking, he pulled Al and Freeman into a secluded alley.

Al was bewildered by his actions and asked, "Could it be that the gangsters here are so arrogant that they don't even allow their names to be mentioned in broad daylight?" ”

Little Peter shook his hand: "How can it be so exaggerated, there are also some organizations formed by those coolies in Manny District, who work during the day, fight with each other at night, compete for territory, and collect money from some weak people, all of them are a group of scum who bully the weak and fear the hard." Little Peter spat hatefully, apparently having suffered a loss. "The most powerful thing in Manny is the guards of those comptoirs, and these little thugs can't make any waves. Helivan, on the other hand, has a large population and some large gang groups, and my former boss, Horsen, is the leader of one of them. ”

"But thanks to you, although I am young, everyone knows that I have a good boss and a little status in the Tao. These days, I have inquired in many ways, and I have vaguely heard of a name - the Brotherhood. Little Peter swallowed as he spoke, "I can't tell if the news I heard is true or false." However, it is said that this brotherhood is extremely powerful, not only in the Helivan district, but also in the Manny district, and it is rumored that they also have some ties to the Hawley district. ”

Hearing this, Al's eyes were much more solemn, this is the highest level of the mixed underworld: black and white take all?But in any case, if the rumors are true, then the energy of this brotherhood is a bit amazing.
