Chapter 3: Lane. The Knicks and the Scheme
After running through several streets, Morimitsu returns to the East End and finds Ryan. The Nyx's gang.
It was small, layered concrete houses, filled with shirtless men and scantily clad women, all of whom had guns in their hands, just some of the more ordinary, tattered guns.
Morimitsu came to the designated place before.
There were already a few teenagers of seventeen or eighteen years old outside the small house, and they were crowding a few skinny boys outside the door, asking them to line up.
Although this job as a newspaper boy does not make money, there are many children who can't eat, and they have to squeeze their heads to ask for it.
A yellow-haired rogue boy with a tattoo on his arm arrogantly grabbed the thin boy's neck.
"If only you knew to go away now. Get out of here, this job is ours, and if you want to send a letter to Mr. Nix, join us first and give us protection money. ”
"Otherwise, we will kill you."
Several emaciated boys were overwhelmed and afraid to speak.
Morimitsu walked over and frowned. "You! I don't care about you! ”
The yellow-haired hooligan boy looked back and saw that it was Sen Guang, and his arrogant expression suddenly faded. Eaton (Morimitsu) is a member of Ryan. Mr. Nix's favorite person, the last person who dared to mess with Eaton, has been replaced by Ryan. Mr. Nix is in order.
Now, no one dares to mess with Mori Guang in their group of second-class dealers.
After he was scolded by Morimitsu, instead of being angry, he laughed flatteringly and got out of the way.
Mori Mitsu walked into the room, and Ryan. Nicks and his men were already waiting in the room.
Ryan. The Knicks are playing chess alone.
The reason why it is a person is because the other gangsters simply do not have that level of knowledge. The Knicks play chess.
"Yo~ Little ghost, you're back, isn't it a little noisy outside? Haha, I pity these clever boys, I think they can do something. If you don't like them, I can get rid of them. ”
Mori Mitsu sat in Ryan under the horrified gaze of those teenagers. Opposite the Knicks, holding the white chess pieces.
"Nothing."
He is not an eventful person. "The others have nothing to do with me, Ryan."
Ryan. Nix smiled and ordered his men to hand over a bottle of drink, which Mori opened and drank only to realize that it was not a drink, but a bottle of cherry-flavored Coke soda.
It tastes weird and unpleasant.
"It's so bad." Morimitsu frowned, a little dissatisfied.
Ryan. Nicks said, "A child your age should drink milk." ”
"I have a letter for you to send to Queens, for you."
Morimitsu took the letter he handed over, yellow paper, fiery red lacquer ink, and the address and the recipient's name had been written on the back.
Of course, there will be no phone number.
Gotham City has a strong gang culture, and there is a lot of communication between the various gangs, and they are usually the newsboys who distribute newspapers on the street and occasionally deliver information to the bosses behind the scenes.
For some reason, Ryan. The Knicks were always looking for themselves to do this kind of thing.
Ryan. The Knicks moved the Cavaliers on the chessboard, "As with the previous example, I'll pay you twice as much in advance." ”
He placed two five-dollar green bills on a black-and-white chessboard.
The eyes of the teenagers who had been standing silently on the side were straight.
Originally, sending letters to the gang was a fat mess, but it was actually possible to pay in advance and double the salary.
It's the kind of treatment they've ever dreamed of.
Ryan. The Knicks coldly swept the teenagers at the door, his eyes no longer gentle.
"You guys! If you get the newspaper, give it to me on the street, and if you don't meet the target today, you won't need me to do it in the future. ”
"As long as you can send me a newspaper well, and you can eat and work hard, you will all have a future."
When the teenagers got the newspaper and left the little mud house, they heard Ryan again. Nix said to Shen Senguang: "Brother Eton, you can't be a newsboy for the rest of your life. It's also time to find a foster family where you can live with your parents and make friends at school. If you mix here, there will be no future. ”
The teenagers who had just walked to the door collectively stumbled in their hearts.
What's the situation?
Boss Ryan, you just said that following you will have a future.
Why did you say something completely different to Eaton?
Mori's hair is numb, and this guy is in love with himself.
Maybe it's because of the good foundation of his body, and because he hasn't been contaminated with the habit of being a gangster, indeed, he stands out from the crowd of skinny and mean children, and he is also likable.
The most important point is to yourself with Ryan. The younger brother who died in the gang fire of the Knicks was about the same age and about the same height, which was the biggest reason why he took special care of himself.
Ryan continued: "All my life I thought that if I had lived in a wealthy family, maybe I would have been a college professor or a football star by now. Ian, you're a lot like me when I first stepped into this point of no return, smart and clever. ”
"But if you continue, you'll become just like me."
"Your qualifications and age meet many adoptive families."
In Lane. When the Knicks were talking at length, Shen Senguang had already taken several steps in a row with him, and the system kept prompting in his ears.
"Proficiency Plus 1"
"Proficiency Plus 1"
Shen Senguang grabbed the chariot chess pieces, ate the opponent's king, and then looked up at Ryan. "Are you done?"
"I've been playing chess for ten years!"
"Oh, congratulations, you've wasted ten years."
"Alright, Ryan, if you want to help me, I just need your help." Morimitsu remembered about the mission, and he needed equipment to deal with the Shadow Warrior Alliance, if necessary.
"I need someone to make a weapon, do you have a way?"
Across the table from Ryan. Knicks hesitated, he nodded, then pointed to the board, "I'm going to play another game, just that isn't all my strength." ”
He took off his coat and flung his arms as if he were a restless chimpanzee, snorting and snorting.
"Now I'm going to play seriously."
Mori Guang has a black line on his head, silently rearranging the chessboard, what a person who can't afford to lose, Ryan. Nix.
He deliberately lured, "Mr. Knicks, you are not my opponent, with your chess strength, it is impossible to win against me." ”
Ryan. The Knicks' face was extremely ugly.
His men trembled in their hearts.
Nyx isn't a good stubble, boy, and he has more blood on his hands than you eat salt.
Ryan. The Knicks said angrily: "You have to accompany me for the next game today, I just didn't take it seriously!" ”
"If you play chess with me again, I'll pay you twenty dollars."
The men in the room of the "......".
Boss, why did you suddenly become so cowardly, and still find a way to send money to people. They looked at each other, and the palms of their hands left the handle of the dagger that they had just touched.
In the future, this lord will be the prince of our gang.
Mori didn't raise his head bald, everything was within his expectations. "I don't want twenty dollars, but if I want to accompany you for the next game, I'll lend you five!."
Ryan. Nix was stunned, not expecting Moriko to make such a request. He didn't take it seriously, he just thought it was a child's nonsense, and he agreed directly with his eagerness to win.
Seven minutes later, General Morimitsu!
Ryan. Knicks' face collapsed as he looked at Expectation, and the men in the room didn't dare to make a sound.
"I've also been a district champion."
"10-year-old ......"
"At this level, I think it is possible to go to professional training, and it is impossible for an Etonnian kid to have too much time to play chess and not have the opportunity to receive professional training."
Mori Mitsu got up and slouched to leave the small house, "Mr. Nix, I'll go first." ”
"You wait......"
Mori Guang waved his hand and walked out the door, "Don't forget our agreement, lend me five people." ”
He turned his back to the crowd and curled the corners of his mouth.
Say your purpose directly, once rejected, it is impossible for you to beg the Knicks, because it is useless to beg, you will only be looked down upon.
Besides, Ryan. The Knicks only think of himself as a relatively capable child, like an ordinary child when he was a child.
Normally, he would not have agreed to lend to five of his own.
Overhead, the sun is proudly blazing and the blue sky is vast.
Mori Guang strode forward, the Shadow Warrior Alliance that had plagued Gotham for decades, and today I want you to disappear.
Can't Batman do it?
I'll do that.
