Chapter 53: The Underground Family

Ale was born as a fraudster, and she must have been very smart.

After being accurately pointed out by her godfather in her plan, she did not continue to be stubborn, quibble, or angry, but immediately accepted the more correct plan, and was even willing to apologize for it.

For this alone, the barber can conclude that she will definitely become a big man in the future.

The barber even felt that the ale had a much smarter brain than he did.

What she had to think about for a long time to come up with, she understood immediately......

It's like a teacher teaching a very difficult math problem to a good student.

The teacher had to think for a while to clear his mind – but he had only just spoken a few words before the student suddenly understood.

Just because she came to ask for advice doesn't mean that the student is not as smart as the teacher, it's just that she lacks some experience.

The barber is very rational...... Because he has met a lot of excellent people, he has a very clear understanding of the extent of his talent.

Therefore, he will not indulge in this superiority of "helping others solve difficult problems" and mistakenly think that he is better than the other party.

- He's just a forerunner.

Ale has a team of fraudsters who have already entered Uptown, and at the same time, it also has mercenary resources in its hands. Now it has the support of the White Lion Group, the "maintainer of order in the lower city", and all the resources have been obtained.

She can even see the ephemeral future and understand the situation in the lower town.

But no matter how smart she was, she was only a young man in her early twenties.

Whether she plans to alienate the relationship between Strangulation and the Godfather, or plans to elevate the Godfather and fight for power, it is just her blind movement under the crisis and confusion. Because subjectively, she wants her plan to succeed, so she unconsciously ignores the negative effects of the plan, as well as the likelihood of its success and the subsequent impact of success.

In the face of great pressure, one has to do something. Otherwise, you won't be able to comfort yourself and give yourself peace of mind.

But if you just put yourself at ease and don't face up to the pain and difficulties, you will only cause a huge omission.

That's what teams, staff, and think tanks are all about.

No matter how smart a person is, once they have strong expectations, their thoughts will always be biased.

The desire to reach the other side will distort the original wise brain. Therefore it is necessary for the wisdom of others to sustain oneself.

On the other hand, it is precisely because the barber himself does not have this panic and desire that he can remain sober and sane.

- because he's not really a no-coder after all.

In the future, there may be troubles that really befall him. At that point, the advice given by an outsider's ale may be more constructive.

Even so, of course......

She tried to calculate her actions, and she would not simply be forgiven.

While gently stroking the slender ears of the ale, the godfather slowly spoke, "I will solve your troubles."

"And what about you, ale? How do you want to repay me? ”

"You want to ...... How, my godfather? ”

Ale looked up and gently rubbed the godfather's palm in a slightly hoarse voice, "Anything." ”

But the godfather's eyes were clear and cold like a windless lake.

"You owe me once."

The godfather said, "Remember it later." ”

"I'll pay it back. Your goddaughter will remember everything today...... You've rescued Downtown twice. ”

The words of the ale are full of sincerity from the heart.

— and, unabashedly greed.

If before today, her attitude towards the godfather was to regard him as an equal ruler with herself, so she was deeply jealous and alienated.

From today onwards, she began to crave more help from her godfather...... as well as eccentricity.

It's not impossible. Even the most enlightened father is, there is always the one who prefers him more among the children. Not to mention the godfather who is not related by blood.

"In that case, Godfather."

The ale carefully pulled his ear out of the godfather's hand.

She raised her head and made a further suggestion: "The 'organization' must have a 'stronghold'. But if it's a 'family', it's just a 'home'.

"If you want to dissolve the organizational entity in the lower city, prevent the retaliation of the company...... Maybe we can form a 'family'. ”

She paused, looked at the godfather without objection, and continued: "I have heard that in the ancient earthly era, there were some special and powerful people who would form a 'family'. They insert a tagged word into their name, calling it a 'surname'.

"Once you have a family and a common surname, you naturally have the same interests. Even if they are people who are far away, as long as they have the same surname, they will always pull each other......

"If you lose your station...... To be precise, the loss of logistical supplies makes it difficult for the organization to control those on the fringes of the organization. Although they are attached to the organization, they have a fear of the organization itself. Because they were forced to join by force of the organization, they had no loyalty to speak of.

"But if you form a family, maybe it will all be different. We are all 'family', and we are all brothers and sisters to each other...... Of course, we can protect each other and tide over the difficulties together. It can also be protected along with the brother's family. ”

"Sounds good."

Strangling clasped his hands to his chest and said in a deep voice: "It's better to set the seniority...... so that juniors cannot disobey the orders of their elders, and brawls between brothers are strictly forbidden. Any behavior must be reported to one's 'elder relative', and the eldest relative is responsible for this and takes care of his juniors. ”

"Sounds a bit like your 'law of silence'."

Ale looked at Strangler and agreed.

She had always admired the man who was also trying to maintain order in Downtown.

The law of silence created by strangulation is the reason why Downtown has grown so rapidly over the past three years - never attack corporate executives, elves, clergy, and other bigwigs, and don't touch troublesome things that would cause trouble for others.

In this way, they can apply for asylum. In times of trouble, enter the territory of the White Lion Group...... Even if it is the eternal reincarnation or the curtain of ignorance to find trouble for them, most of them will give the strangulation a face and choose to retreat.

There is no cost to accept the asylum of strangulation. But from now on, no information can be revealed that is unfavorable to the White Lion Group.

This is precisely the "law of silence" established by strangulation. Through this law, he made the White Lions the "maintainers of order" in the actual sense of the word in the lower city.

Even if it is a stronger organization than him, as long as it wants order in the lower city to still exist, it cannot do anything to him.

"I think this rule can be extended further...... It's not just our White Lions, it's extended to the entire Lower Town. At least it can be extended to the majority. ”

"We set up a 'family' instead of controlling them and forcing them to work or fight for the organization. Rather, it is through a softer 'long parent' to achieve control at the level of the level.

"In this way, we can not be stationed, but just dispersed. When the people from Uptown come down, we can bring them in. Whoever pulls the newcomer in will make him the newcomer's eldest relative, directly responsible for the other party's security and release tasks. And in order to become 'eldest relatives', the people in the family go out to help publicize it, and it has become their own will, not a forced order......"

"They'll join."

The godfather nodded: "This kind of mysterious organization that has no life-threatening restraints and brothers will protect each other, as long as they can be sure that it is true, most of them will join."

"We only need to assign them some hidden tasks that are either righteous or evil according to their personalities, and we don't have to worry about them getting out of control. Give them some benefits that they didn't get when they work, or find a brother to help them get revenge when they are bullied, and protect their family when they are in trouble...... In this way, a sense of collective honor can also be cultivated.

"Working hard for the family is much easier to promote than working every day in the company.

"I'm afraid even the children of some of the company's top executives can't resist this dark charm – let alone the muddled wage slaves."

It's too exciting for the social animals who are numb in the day-to-day cycle.

If it weren't for the fact that he had joined the Tower of Babel, I am afraid that even Russell himself would not be able to resist.

…… Wait a minute.

Speaking of which, was he deceived in the first place?
