New York City Hall, built from 1803 to 1812, was inscribed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966 as a National Historic Building of the United States.

Located in the middle of City Hall Park in the downtown area of Lower Manhattan, it is the oldest city hall in the United States that is still in use.

Many of the offices of New York City councilors are located in the vicinity.

Then.

David stood under the ladder of the city hall and looked up at the historic city landmarks in front of him, as if he saw the holy white walls, stained with the blood-colored palm prints of the people of the world.

He just glanced at it, didn't stop, turned around and went to the next building, and saw the person he was looking for.

"Congressman Steve Toro, please help me convey Mr. Pushkin's apologies to Congressman Adam Romanf, Senator Brandon Keefe, Governor Darryl Richardson, and ......"

Steve Toro, a New York City Councilor, is a man who has just turned 50 and has quite thick hair.

He sat in a chair in his office and entertained David.

A mature secretary in her early thirties brought two cups of coffee, twisted her hips and left the room, closing the door to make room for David and Steve Toro.

Both sides are smart people.

As Pushkin's representative, David took the initiative to visit him, indicating that Pushkin showed weakness and was willing to give up more benefits.

The political group behind Steve Toro, naturally, could not refuse the benefits of being delivered to the door.

After a short and peaceful exchange, David determined that within the political arena of New York, Pushkin's allies did not mean to turn against the water, but they were higher in rank than Moseley and had the capital to wait and see.

From their mouths, David also determined that there was indeed an official force secretly fueling the troubles, intending to encroach on Pushkin's share of the underground world on the East Coast and prop up his own people to power.

As for who these people were, Steve Toro was secretive and didn't say much.

But David received the hint and had a verdict in his mind.

A moment later.

David said goodbye to Steve Toro, who did not see him off in person.

David's identity at this time was Pushkin's subordinate, not Pushkin's presence in person.

Attention is valued, Steve Toro must be upheld, after all, he is a political figure on the stage, talking about face.

Leaving the councilor's office, David looked at the sky.

The sun is in the west, the sun is over, the lights are on, the sunset is bright, the sky is golden, and the white clouds are dyed with a layer of color.

David took a taxi to Hell's Kitchen.

Hell's Kitchen and City Hall are both located in Manhattan, a short distance from each other.

It only took ten minutes, before the sun had completely set, and David returned to his neighborhood.

Of course.

He didn't go to Hell's Kitchen to get home, he was looking for someone.

Now, Pushkin's power in New York is being messed up by McCall.

It will take a lot of energy for David to regroup this force and turn it into a whole.

Fortunately, Pushkin's power in New York was only somewhat declining and did not completely collapse.

It is impossible to talk about turning the tide and supporting the building to fall.

……

Hell's Kitchen is notoriously a place of extreme complexity.

New York's gangsters are all concentrated here, and compared to the staggering number of underground gangs, Hell's Kitchen's territory is a little cramped and crowded.

The most amazing thing is that instead of fighting to the death, these underground forces have maintained a clever and terrifying balance, creating a historic Hell's Kitchen in the underworld.

Several large gangs are both cooperating and competing, with tens of thousands of members all over New York, reaching out to major industries and making crazy money.

In such an underground kingdom, Jin He, as the first man to put forward the idea, sat on the throne as the leader of the alliance as he wished, and always sat on the throne like a king, overlooking the heroes, high above.

After Jin and integrate resources, he will withdraw from specific management, more like the IRS, that is, the most famous tax department in the United States, which draws profits from the gangs, and violators will be strongly attacked by Jin and many gangsters.

Against this background, Pushkin turned out.

In the description of the system, Pushkin is the boss behind the Russian gang, remotely controlling the Lankhov brothers to do business, which can be regarded as a cross-river dragon.

As a well-deserved snake in New York, the two sides are naturally in opposite positions.

However, as the saying goes, the dragon can't suppress the head snake of the land, and in New York, this one-third of an acre, Jin has the upper hand.

Pushkin has been suppressed these days, his business has been suspended, and although there are other forces behind the scenes, Kim will never just look at it and step on his feet.

The reason why David instructed Teddy Renson to ask the Rankkhoff brothers to send a message to Kim and ask Kim for help was not really to ask Kim for help, but to pass on an invitation to talk to Kim and on an equal footing.

Although Kim is David's own brother, he does not want to contact him directly through personal connections.

Strictly speaking, this is a head-to-head dialogue between Pushkin and Kim in the face of a confrontation between the two sides.

This meeting was deliberately set up for outsiders to see, and could not be held in private.

Public to public, private to private, is the way to live in the world.

Plus, David does have his own bad tastes.

He wanted to see how Kim would behave at the negotiating table with Pushkin when he saw his own brother.

……

The headquarters of the Russian gangster, located in a garage in Hell's Kitchen.

The full name is the Lancho Brothers Garage.

There are a number of yellow taxis parked in the garage, which are their main customers.

To put it bluntly, Russian gangsters control a portion of New York's taxis, which is not only one of their sources of income, but also one of their sources.

The entrance of the garage.

A typical Eastern European man, with his back straight, waiting for David's arrival.

Beside him, the two leaders of the Russian gang in New York, the Lankhoff brothers, stood half a step behind him like bodyguards, one on the left and one on the right.

David saw at a glance that the Eastern Europeans led by him were dressed in suits and leather shoes, with slightly gray hair, in their fifties, tall and wearing sunglasses, full of aura.

The Eastern Europeans smiled at the arrival of David.

"Mr. Pushkin, long time no see."

David shook hands with the other party in a serious manner.

This person is the loyal stand-in of David in the memory provided by the system, and he is also the master behind the Russian gangster in the eyes of the public - Pushkin.

In fact, this person's real name is Andrei.

"You're finally here."

Andre shook hands with David: "Please come in, Kim and will be there later." ”

"Okay."

David nodded and followed the three of them into the garage.

As far as the eye can see, there are all strong men with big shoulders and round waists, wearing work uniforms, and different skin colors.

Although this is the territory of the Russian gangsters, they came to New York to absorb people from all walks of life, and after the team grew, it naturally mixed a lot of skin colors.

Of course, the top personnel are mostly Eastern Europeans, mostly Russians.

The garage has three floors and covers an area of about several thousand square meters.

The first and second floors are car repair sites, and the third floor is a unique world, where Russian gangsters gather, billiard halls, bowling alleys, bars, and everything you need.

David and the others didn't stop, they went directly to the conference hall on the third floor and waited for Jin to arrive.
