The door of the reception room was pushed open, and in addition to the middle-aged white man who walked in, there was another person who was about the same age, but did not look like a gang leader at all. Instead, he looked like a decent person such as a doctor or a teacher.
After entering the room, he looked at the standing skeleton, then stopped about two meters away from Colin and asked cautiously, "I'm Dulu Blacks. What should I call you, sir?"
"Just call me the Black Mage." Colin responded, looked at the two of them, paused, and said, "You are a little different from what I expected."
"You mean the image?"
The middle-aged man named Du Lu seemed to have a very good mentality. He was not afraid of him at all and responded with a smile on his face.
"Yeah!" Kelin nodded with emotion. "To be honest, I've seen quite a few gangsters, and killed even more. They are usually rude and vicious, and are basically no different from the gangsters in the movies."
Colin gestured with his fingers and pointed them in the direction of Du Lu: "But you and your subordinates give me a different feeling."
Du Lu listened calmly, pondered for a moment, and chuckled, "Times have changed, Master Black Mage. It is difficult to lead the family to grow just by being able to fight and kill."
"As for the gang members you encountered, perhaps they were of a relatively low level and did not touch upon the management of the gang."
Du Lu responded with a faint smile. Colin looked at him for a while, then deliberately frowned and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will get angry and kill you if you say that?"
The so-called lower level means not being up to standard, and those who often deal with those who are not up to standard, how high can their own level be
Of course, he wouldn't be really angry because of this, but he was very curious why this seemingly smart guy would say something that might annoy him.
"I am only responding to your doubts, Master Black Mage."
Du Lu said seriously. Colin stared at him for a while and nodded, as if he agreed with this explanation.
Although the man in front of him had the intention of testing his character, his last words implicitly conveyed that he and his gang would obey his orders.
And since the other party has already surrendered, he doesn't have the bad taste to force these people to surrender openly. After all, he doesn't want to be involved in the underworld.
"I have a few tasks for you to do."
Colin spoke abruptly, and Dulu bent down slightly, looking like a subordinate waiting for orders.
Colin glanced at him and said calmly, "First, search all the cemeteries in Texas and find an old man who lives nearby, about 60 or 70 years old, dressed in cowboy clothes.
The known clue is the cemetery where the father of the recently popular Johnny is buried, which should be the target's residence.
But please note that when searching, you must not let your people have any contact with Explosive Johnny. Once you find the target, you must report to me immediately. Similarly, you are not allowed to disturb the target without my consent."
“Second, collect all recent abnormal death cases and other strange incidents in the city.
Pay close attention to whether there are cult members preparing to conduct religious ceremonies throughout the city. If you find any, please notify me immediately."
"Finally, you help me collect some materials. However, if you find that there are forces blocking you, don't force it. It's okay to give up. The focus is on the first two."
Colin added an explanation.
SHIELD was always watching him, he knew that very well.
And he was also very sure that, although there was peace between them now, once he started to use similar means to collect the resources he wanted, SHIELD would definitely use its energy to snipe him and would not let him achieve his wish easily.
Fortunately, this was just a casual attempt, and even if it failed, he would not lose anything.
A sheet of paper with the materials he needed was handed over. Du Lu took it, glanced at it, and said hesitantly, "I will arrange for someone to investigate what you said, but can you tell me some reasons?"
What Colin said about cultists and religious rituals always gave him a bad feeling.
"Want to know the reason?" He looked at Du Lu and spread his hands and said, "Unfortunately, this is prohibited."
"But as long as you do what I say, I will leave naturally when I get the results I want."
"And this also effectively reduces the possibility of me killing people to silence them, right? Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing for you."
Colin spread his hands and said this. Du Lu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly smiled and said, "You are right, I was reckless. The news you want will be provided by tomorrow at the latest."
"Well, there's no need to be too anxious. There should still be some time. But Mr. Du Lu, there is one thing I need to trouble you with."
Colin stood up from his chair and said as he looked around the living room.
"You say." Du Lu said without changing his expression.
"It's like this. I just arrived in Texas, so I don't have a place to live. I think your villa is pretty good. Can you give me a guest room so I can stay there for a while?"
Colin came back from a walk and stared at Du Lu and asked.
"Of course no problem." Du Lu responded with a smile, and immediately turned around and instructed the middle-aged man who had not spoken since entering the room: "Hogan, please take the black wizard to choose a room that suits his taste."
Hogan nodded after hearing this, and walked to Colin and made a gesture of invitation.
Colin took a look and didn't go over immediately. Instead, he pointed at the motionless skeleton behind him and smiled at Du Lu, "The host is so hospitable, I can't help but show some appreciation. This skeleton warrior is quite powerful after I made it. I think it can be a bodyguard. During the time I live here, let it protect Mr. Du Lu's safety. How do you think?"
After hearing this, Du Lu's face changed, and the smile on his face became a little stiff, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and said with a smile: "If this is your wish."
After hearing this, Colin looked at Du Lu's figure, smiled, and said nothing. He followed the middle-aged man called Hogan to explore the villa.
During this period, although he cooperated with Hogan's narration on the surface, responded from time to time, and sometimes even took the initiative to express some opinions.
But deep down, he was always thinking about Du Lu.
Du Lu is an interesting person, and even gives people a sense of danger.
This feeling is not due to strength, but comes from his temperament and the way he copes.
It was also because of this that, even though he had an overall advantage, he still chose to place the skeleton warrior next to Du Lu.
"This is it, Mr. Hogan."
Colin stopped in a room that was open from north to south.
We have done what needs to be done, and all that remains is to wait for the results of the investigation to come out before we can proceed to the next step.
