The forces of all sizes in the southeast city area basically gathered in this tavern today. It was crowded and looked very lively.
However, Zhang Heng knows that the people who can really make up their minds are not here, but sitting on the second floor. They asked middle-aged Jews to host the party, quietly listening to the quarrels and noise downstairs, and only when needed Only when they make a sound, their voices are the real voices, and they are also the voices Zhang Heng wants to hear.
The middle-aged Jew sneered when he heard the words, "Is Mr. Lockyd something you can see if you want?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a young girl coming down from the second floor, looking at Zhang Heng with her head, and said curiously, "You are the gladiator champion of the Flavian Amphitheater, the mysterious oriental man from the distant empire ?"
"It sounds like I'm right." Zhang Heng nodded.
"There are rumors that you are the incarnation of a certain god in the world, with wings on your back, and you can soar in the sky, but you seem to be no different from ordinary people." The girl seemed a little disappointed.
"In order not to scare my friends, I put the wings away."
The girl let out a chuckle when she heard the words, "You men like to talk nonsense, but because you treat us as friends, come up, grandpa wants to see you."
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." Hearing this, Zhang Heng stood up from his seat and followed the girl to the second floor.
A look of unwillingness appeared on the face of the middle-aged Jew, but he knew the girl and knew that this was Lockyd's decision, and the most important rule of being a member of the Jewish gang is never to question Lockyd's decision Yes, so he closed his mouth and said nothing, but respectfully watched the two go upstairs.
The girl approached Zhang Heng's ear as she walked, and whispered, "My grandpa hates dishonest people the most, so when you see him later, don't lie."
"Thank you for the reminder, but I always like to tell the truth." Zhang Heng replied.
"Well... I think we'll find out soon." The girl smiled.
The two quickly climbed up to the second floor. Contrary to Zhang Heng's expectations, there were only four people on the huge second floor.
Three of them sat in front of a long table, and the main seat was an old man in his early sixties, with a typical Jewish appearance and short brown-black hair, but most of them had already turned white, with a wide forehead and eagle eyes. Hooked nose, deep eye sockets, and a pair of sharp eyes that seem to be able to see through everyone's heart.
Needless to say, he should be the current boss of the Jewish Gang, Lockyd, and the most influential figure in the entire southeast city. Lockyd's rise history is a living legend. He was born in an ordinary Jewish civilian family. He died very early, and his mother had to start a skin business to support the three children in the family. As the eldest son, Lockyd also started to make money early. He was a thief and an apprentice in a blacksmith shop. Walked the streets to collect urine for the laundry room, and cleaned the sewer...
In short, he has done everything that can make money, and it was not until he joined the Jewish gang at the age of sixteen that his life gradually improved, but at this moment fate played a cruel joke on him again. The last plague died one after another, and then his only remaining brother died in gang conflicts.
And until the age of thirty, Lockyed was just an inconspicuous and small role in the Jewish gang, with only five subordinates at most.
And then there was the legendary battle. At that time, the boss of the Jewish gang was betrayed by his subordinates and was assassinated. Two brothers collect money at the market in front of the temple.
The three of them protected the boss who had nowhere to go. No one knew how they withstood an enemy that was several times their own. When the follow-up help arrived, they had already become blood men, and Lockyd's two men didn't even Only Lockyd could survive until the doctor arrived. After that, he was also appreciated by the boss of the Jewish gang at that time, and he rose all the way, and finally succeeded in taking over the number one power in the southeastern city after the latter's death.
All the street kids in the southeast regard Lockyed as their idol, and hope that one day they can fight for their own careers like Lockyed.
On the left hand side of Lockyd is a Sikabri who is about his age and is resting his eyes with his eyes closed. He is the boss of Golden Crown, the second largest force in the southwestern city, and mainly earns money from lending and rent collection. The Jewish gang, but their wealth is still greater than that, and more than half of the real estate and shops in the southwest city belong to the Golden Crown.
On Lockyd's right is a young man, different from the two people around him, he looks very young, he is about the same age as Zhang Heng, with an innocent smile on his face, making people suspect that he is just someone sitting here. He is the family member of a person, but in fact he is the mouthpiece of the hive of the third largest force in the southwest city.
No one knows who the boss of the hive is, and no one knows how many people the hive has and what kind of business it has. The only thing that is certain is that the hive is the oldest force in the southwest city. They are everywhere, and anyone around you has It may be the people from the hive, even the Golden Crown and the Jewish Gang have many people from the hive, so nothing in the southwestern city can't be hidden from the hive. In addition, it is rumored that all the assassins in the southwestern city are related to the hive.
And the young people present here are one of the few people on the bright side of the hive, who is responsible for communication and negotiation with various forces, and the megaphone is what he claims to be.
As for the fourth person, he didn't sit at the table, but stood on the side pouring wine for the three people present, looking like a waiter in a tavern, but Zhang Heng's eyes stayed on him the longest, because Zhang Heng Heng found that he could not see his strength.
No wonder the three of them just sat on the second floor carelessly, and didn't arrange any extra guards.
"Zhang Heng, in the southeast city recently, no, it should be said that your name has been discussed everywhere in the whole city of Rome." The first person to speak was actually the microphone of the hive. The gladiators in Kedo Arena started to serve His Majesty the Emperor immediately after he was freed. It is said that His Majesty valued you very much. When you were still a gladiator, he visited you in private. An errand was screwed up.
"So when you joined the patrol team, you immediately started to do things. First, you forced Iron Cuffs and his men to do something to you, and then you helped the thief named Soap to be your puppet. It's very smart, because the identity of the patrol team has nothing to do with you. You can't directly annex and digest those sites, otherwise it would have attracted our attention long ago, and you were very cautious, and you also found five small gangsters you knew before, and set up an anti-patrol alliance. You can take the opportunity to remove the unstable factors in the two forces, and then you expand the patrol force.
"Your series of actions have successfully attracted the attention of Mr. Lockyed, and we sent you an invitation, but unfortunately, you went to find your political ally Klind, and then the Senate passed on There are rumors that His Majesty the Emperor wants to attack the southeast city. Am I right? By the way, you eat focacciabo in the morning, honey and bread. You don’t like bread because it’s baked too old gone."
