The downtown area of Detroit, and the southern city where Huang Ji and others are located, are simply two places.

With Renaissance Square as the center, with a radius of eight kilometers, it can fully afford the appearance of a second-tier city.

Beautiful high-rise buildings and retro buildings are intertwined, very stylish, many photographers, in the beautiful scenery of the lake and the enthusiastic residents.

The homeless people everywhere are very chic, they work in the subway for half a day, ask for a dollar or two, and then leave work for themselves.

After buying a burger and drinking water from a fast-food restaurant, I began to comment on the artists who were painting brushes on the walls.

Some homeless people even have to go down in person, snatch other people's brushes, and scribble two strokes.

After that, sit in the square, listen to the street performers, and take a quiet nap in the soft melody flowing from the stereo.

Classical and modern, decadent and vibrant, entangled in the city at the same time.

Until the arrival of dusk.

When night is approaching, the bustling streets begin to empty.

Artists who graffiti the walls in the gallery building left, and out-of-town visitors who visited the street art and old buildings ended their day's journey.

The time of the middle class is over.

Even the homeless disappeared, leaving the city center and heading to the abandoned neighborhoods in the west or south to find a small, empty house and spend the night.

In addition to the passing vehicles, the people who occupy the streets and alleys at night have completely changed their style.

Groups of black people gathered together to talk and trade.

Anyone who comes out of the subway will attract their attention.

Robberies happen every night, and the victims are often out-of-towners, and locals, no matter how late they work overtime, they are sure to have a pick-up vehicle ready to go straight from the company back home.

And this kind of gangsters can only be regarded as petty gangsters, and even worse, they will directly smash the shop windows and loot the belongings in them.

Occasionally, gunshots rang out in the streets, alarming the police to arrive, but in the end, only the bodies were collected.

"Bang bang bang!"

Listening to the gunshots outside the window, Huang Ji and others, who had chartered a two-story apartment in the city center, were sitting in a circle, watching Adams stand in it and talk.

"In the city as a whole, black people make up 82.7 percent and white people make up only 10.6 percent. Large and small, there are more than 200 gangsters, thousands of strong people, and more than a dozen weak people. ”

"To be honest, I haven't been to Detroit in five years, it's changed a lot, there's at least half of the gangsters, I don't know much anymore. ”

Adams said, pointing to a blackboard with a laser pointer, only to see a huge map of Detroit on it, plastered with labels and photos.

"The various gangs in Detroit are very influential, and they are basically the real ones outside of the city center. ”

"They replace the scarce police and maintain local order. ”

"Some control a street, some control a large community, and some are in the middle of the cracks, doing some side business. ”

Hearing this, the evil dragon felt that this was simply laughing and generous.

He laughed, pointed to the gunshots that were still ringing outside the window, and said, "What?

Adams smiled, "It's downtown, so it's messy, there are often robberies and murders, and the suburbs will be a little better." ”

The evil dragon was stunned: "You said the opposite, right?"

Adams said, "No, as a gang with territory, they have an obligation to provide security for the residents of their community. Those people are their neighbors, friends, relatives......"

"Rabbits don't eat the grass next to their nests," said Wang.

Adams pointed at him and said, "That's right, it's downtown, because there is more middle class, so there is more crime." ”

"Because of the economy, housing prices are already very cheap in the city center, and there are a lot of black people living in them, and those who live in the suburbs must have gang backgrounds. ”

"So there will be no petty theft in the suburbs, there will be ...... It's also the kind of gang vendettas, fierce shootouts, and the death of a group of people. ”

"Violent order," Nochira said. ”

Adams snapped his fingers and said, "That's it, there are crimes every day in the city center, but it's not too bad, the police still do things." ”

"The suburbs are usually safe, as long as you stay in your own community, you will be protected by gangs. But once something happens, it's a river of blood. ”

"Nokira, you are building a factory in the suburbs, in the former Lakeside Industrial Park, and there is no problem with this. ”

"As long as you provide jobs to the locals, your factories will be protected. ”

Nochira frowned, "Offer a job?"

Adams smiled: "The construction team of your factory, haven't they talked to you yet? ”

"Come to think of it, the gang in that area seems to be called 'Apache,' and when it's almost finished, this Apache boss will talk to you. ”

Nochira was stunned and said, "What are you talking about?"

Adams said calmly: "All the construction teams have gang backgrounds. They are asking you to recruit workers from the families of their gang after your factory is built, at least 50 percent and at most 90 percent!"

"What! how is this going to work!" Nochira was shocked.

They want to build a secret base, how can they recruit outsiders casually.

The surface waterworks and assembly plants are just a disguise, and they all have to use their own people to protect the Messianic base below.

Adams calmly said, "As a gang that manages a place, they have an obligation to find work for the residents of the community, and not all of them are going to be gunmen. ”

"Gangs can only make money if the community is rich. If the people in the community are poor, unemployed, or even reluctant to move out of Detroit, then the gang is over. ”

"They haven't asked you for that yet, because you're just starting to build. When you're almost done, they'll start making trouble. ”

"If you don't agree, the factory won't be opened, and at this time, the investor has already made a huge investment in money, either in vain, or take out some jobs. ”

Nochira frowned and said, "What the hell is this request! The police don't care?"

Adams said, "Of course, but you are in the middle of nowhere, and it is impossible for the police to stand guard for you every day, right?"

"There's always going to be trouble...... Maybe the warehouse will be blown up by then. ”

The evil dragon smiled: "Okay, isn't it a gang, I'll bring someone to talk to them." ”

As he spoke, he bared his shark-like teeth.

Nochira sighed and said, "Don't, this is the United States! More than eighty percent of the gangs in Detroit are connected to the Illuminati. ”

"At least a third of the bosses even joined the Illuminati directly and became a junior member. ”

"And some of the big gangs, their boss may be a mid-level member of the Illuminati. ”

Adams pointed to the map on the blackboard and said, "That's for sure, you see ......."

"It's the wealthy neighborhood of Detroit, and a handful of white tycoons still live there. ”

"Do you see this castle?"

Everyone saw that next to the map, there was a photograph nailed.

The photo shows a Victorian castle-style villa with a cast iron crown on the roof, and a semi-arched gate with a beautiful garden and a fountain of square statues.

There are domed towers, high chimney pavilions and porches wrapping around verandahs. The brick walls, dotted with cross windows, are half-timbered on the upper floor.

Looking beyond the fountain garden, there are six steps with mahogany gates on the steps, which have a strong Renaissance style.

Above the door, there were also three silver swords.

"The owner of this castle, Veronica Alona, controls the largest gang in Detroit, the Opal, which does a lot of regular business in addition to arms and drugs. Adams said.

I saw that the evil dragon stood up in shock: "This ...... These three swords!"

Nochira also chuckled in her heart, but she didn't show it.

Adams smiled, "Caro, that's what you told me...... Characteristics of the sword family. ”

"What sword family ......" Nochira knew it in her heart, but she still asked on behalf of everyone.

The evil dragon explained with a solemn face: "There are 11 real organizers of the Modern Illuminati, and they are the creators of the Modern Illuminati, known as the Sword Bearers. ”

"The sword represents authority, they are the pinnacle of power, and all the members of their family are also under its shadow and occupy positions in the Illuminati, so the Illuminati are controlled by eleven families. ”

"Each family is in charge of the 'three swords', and the Veronica you are talking about should only be a relative of the person who holds the sword, but you can also hang three swords of that style at your home to show your identity. ”

Lao Wang suddenly said on the side: "11 people, exactly 33 swords!"

The evil dragon said: "But the 33rd level of light membership cannot be hereditary. Once the sword in the family dies, it is equivalent to being excluded from the core council, and it is no longer the sword family. ”

"The promotion of the 33rd level is strict, and it is better to be vacant. So although there are eleven super-large families in charge of the Illuminati, there are actually only nine sword-wielders. There are four vacancies for Level 33 for the time being!"

Huang Ji smiled: "It's not strict, but the remaining nine people, happy to see fewer people divide power......"

Everyone laughs, if one dies, one less will die, and the sword that is still alive in the core council will naturally become more powerful!

And if you want to become level 33, you need half of the 33 level to agree.

The rest, of course, find all kinds of reasons to refuse, so that they have more power.

The evil dragon continued: "Yes, if you have to choose another person to join the sword sequence, you must also choose someone from the eleven families, after all, no one wants to see a new family rise again. ”

Lao Wang was puzzled: "Eh, didn't you say that theoretically everyone has a chance to become level 33?"

The evil dragon sighed: "There is a chance, and that is to become a sword-bearer......"

"The original eleven families, in order to continue to hold power, if there is no good successor, will choose a powerful, loyal, and likely to be promoted level 32 orphan as their sword bearer!"

Seti and the others suddenly realized, and Yam held his chin and said, "Sword bearer, is that what you mean?"

The evil dragon said: "The so-called sword-bearer is equivalent to the alternate sword-bearer. 'Sword' has a special meaning, and it can only be controlled by eleven families, and the sword bearer only holds it in their place. ”

"Back then, my brother Moore, climbed to level 32, which is actually two steps away from reaching the top! In addition to making great contributions and being recognized by at least half of the sword wielders, he also had to become the sword bearer of a certain family first, because level 33 will only be selected from the sword wielders! This is a contract game for the high-level leaders. ”

Lao Wang muttered: "The sword-bearer of a certain family, the representative of the family, ......"

The dragon said, "That's right...... Generally speaking, major families will choose relatives, but if the relatives do not give their strength and cannot become Nirvana, they can only choose outsiders. ”

"This must be through marriage, and the title of sword bearer will be awarded to the other party. This is equivalent to pulling the other party into their own family, or letting the family run for election!"

"Over the past few hundred years, the sword-wielding person has changed one stubble after another, but the family will always be the eleven!"

"That's why I said that the most important thing to move up to level 33 is loyalty. ”

Lao Wang asked, "Why do you have to be a Nirvana?"

The evil dragon smiled, "To become level 33, you don't need to be a nirvana. But the Nirvana is strong and long-lived, and the major families choose the sword-wielding person, and they must choose the one who lives a long time......"

"In this way, once the selected person is promoted, they can be the sword master family for decades, or even hundreds of years. ”

Lao Wang and others sighed, this is simply an alliance of nobles.

The Illuminati will always have only eleven families in power, only less, not more.

And right now, there is a person from the sword family in Detroit, although that woman is only level 10 herself.

But this is equivalent to the nobles in the Illuminati, and the hidden connections are amazingly large.

"There are three swords hanging in her house, indicating that they are relatives of the current nine sword bearers. ”

"Huaxu, have you figured it out, how the hell are you going to submit her?" Adams asked.

......
