The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 167: Black jack and thai

Views:

Taiwen has always been a little uneasy these past two days. As the largest thieves group in the Semrela Province, the Blood Hand Brotherhood not only has the highest status in the underworld, they are also connected with the governor of the Semrela Province. They can be described as black and white. Both ways take it all.

As the leader of the Blood Hand Brotherhood, Taiwen is also a well-known figure in the Semrela Province. Gold coins, women, rights, status, everything should have been so beautiful, but just in this half month, the Blood Hand Brotherhood suffered a major blow.

In this short period of half a month, the Blood Hand Brotherhood lost a total of seven mid-level warriors. Most of them were leaders of the Blood Hand Brotherhood's stronghold in a certain city. With the death of these small leaders, , is the core member of the Blood Hand Brotherhood in this city stronghold.

Without the command of these leaders, the gangsters in these seven city strongholds immediately dispersed. Some formed gangs and fought for the position of the new boss, some switched jobs to other forces, and some simply quit the business and started living a serious life.

But no matter what, Taiwen had to admit that his Blood Hand Brotherhood lost control of these seven cities. The consequence of this incident was that his gang's income this month was reduced by 30%. How to pay this month's "harvest" to the governor of Semrela has become a worry in Taiwen's mind.

But these are not the most important. The most important thing is that he received a note yesterday, which wrote a few words: "I am Dark Elegy, and your younger brother from the Blood Hand Brotherhood has provoked me. So. , I will destroy your Blood Hand Brotherhood. Now there are seven cities, and the next one is Kent City."

"What the hell, what the hell is this Dark Elegy?!" Taiwen was shocked and angry, because the appearance of this man who called himself Dark Elegy was so inexplicable.

Fourteen days ago, this guy suddenly appeared and broke into the Blood Hand Brotherhood headquarters in Roman City in a very aggressive and domineering manner, and then directly cut the little leader there and several of his surrounding brothers into pieces.

And after this guy finished killing people, he arrogantly carved his name on the wall - Dark Elegy.

The sudden loss of a small leader did not attract Taiwen's attention. After all, in their line of work, it is impossible not to have a few mortal enemies. He only thought that the idiot little leader had encountered such a tragic disaster because he had provoked some terrible enemy that he shouldn't have provoked.

Although losing a mid-level warrior made him very sad, Taiwen was even more sad that he lost control of Roman City. Just when he was about to send more people to stabilize the situation there, another little leader was poisoned to death, and it was said that this was also done by the Dark Elegy.

Taiwen was so angry that he cursed and sent people around to inquire about this dark elegy. But the damn thing was, no matter how he investigated, he didn't get any information about this dark elegy.

This guy seemed to fall from the sky, not provoking any other gangs, but just fighting with the Blood Hand Brotherhood.

"Is this guy sent by God to punish me?" A sudden thought came to Taiwen's mind at that time.

In the next few days, the leaders of several of the more famous strongholds of the Blood Hand Brotherhood died one after another. Some of them were poisoned to death while drinking, and some had their necks wiped in their sleep. What was even more ridiculous was that a small leader was inexplicably killed in a fight to suppress the resistance of a small gang in the territory. You know, that small gang is basically half-grown children who don't know the heights of the world. How can they be compared with the elite forces of the Blood Hand Brotherhood? Without the help of others, Taiwen would never believe that this group of boy scouts could destroy his brothers.

"Maybe he is a veteran mid-level assassin." Taiwen judged that although the Dark Elegy destroyed seven strongholds in just half a month, Taiwen still did not make a high assessment of his strength.

After all, except for the first time, Regnar has done all kinds of assassinations, poisoning, fishing in troubled waters and other secretive methods. These methods are insidious and effective. They do not require the assassin itself to be very powerful, but if used properly, these insidious methods will also achieve great results.

As for the first time, Tai Wen always felt that the information sent back at that time was watery. After all, which assassin would be so idiotic as to rush into the headquarters and hack away at it? Therefore, he defined this Dark Elegy as a veteran assassin with very rich experience. As for his strength, he was only a mid-level assassin. Taiwen himself is in charge of such a large gang, and his strength is only at a high level. How strong can he be as an assassin

But he didn't know that Regnar was really such an idiot (or confident enough) to rush into the enemy's headquarters without hesitation. He also didn't know that although Regnar was still wandering around in the mid-level realm at this time, he was also a company A pervert that ordinary high-ranking people don't look down upon.

Because of the series of blows the Blood Hand Brotherhood has suffered in the past few days, many of its brothers have begun to stir up commotion. Several other bandit gangs in Semrela were also staring at them eagerly, as if they would come up and take a bite at any time.

If it were in the past, Taiwen would definitely bring a group of people to beat down these reckless guys, but now, even if he had the intention, he was powerless.

"How on earth did I provoke that guy?" Taiwen thought helplessly. He couldn't even think of it. The reason why the Blood Hand Brotherhood provoked such a terrible guy was because his younger brother chopped off a person with no status. three fingers of the poor little girl.

"Boss, tonight you have to talk to Black Jack about the ownership of the business street. They seem to be a little uneasy." Luo Tong came to remind him that this was his confidant who had been following him for two years. He not only helped him manage He is responsible for all matters of the Blood Hand Brotherhood, and is also very good at making suggestions.

"Well, I know." Taiwen nodded.

"How many people are you planning to bring tonight?" Luo Tong asked.

"This Kent City is our territory. We just need to bring a few elites to control the situation. I don't believe that Black Jack really dares to fall out with me here." Taiwen said, that Black Jack is just a mid-level warrior, even if he brings No matter how many people there are, he is still not enough in Taiwen's eyes.

Luo Tong thought for a while, and then said: "Boss, we have been a little embarrassed by the guy who calls himself Dark Elegy these days. I think that guy Black Jack also calculated this moment to come to trouble us. So. I think it’s better to bring a few more people with you to be prepared.”

Taiwen thought for a while, then nodded: "That's true, then go down and make arrangements."

"Okay, we'll leave in half an hour." Luo Tong nodded and left.

An hour later, Taiwen met Black Jack on time, a tall, lean guy like a monkey. There is always a sickening smile on his face, as if he is really an elegant noble. This is what Taiwen despises most about him. People in their profession are like a dunghill. He has only climbed a little higher in this dunghill, but he is still covered in shit. He still wants to be clean. A superior person

"Thank you for the compliment, Boss Taiwen." Black Jack imitated the graceful salute of a nobleman, but in Taiwen's view, his actions coupled with this tight leather armor looked more like a black monkey bending down to pick up bananas.

"No need, tell me, why did you ask me to come to such a wilderness today?" Taiwen said with a frown. The headquarters of these two forces are both in Kent City. Naturally, both of them have opened various branches in this city. There are few taverns, hotels or brothels.

The original Thai meaning was to find a brothel and chat with Black Jack while caressing the woman's breasts. But I didn't expect that the skinny monkey would insist on setting the location of the negotiation outside the city of Kent. He really couldn't understand what Black Jack meant. Did he really want to have a fight here? Although this may be a trap, Taiwen cannot retreat because others are already looking at him eagerly. If at this juncture the Blood Hand Brotherhood will be afraid. Then this injured male lion may really be eaten by these hyenas.

Taiwen looked around vigilantly. Although Black Jack brought a lot of people at this time, thanks to Luo Tong's suggestion, Taiwen basically brought out all the elite forces in Kent City. Even if he wants to take action, Taiwen is not afraid of Black Jack.

But Black Jack looked stunned: "I admit that I made the request to talk to you, but Boss Taiwen, didn't you tell me the location of the negotiation? You must set the location at this place. I just agreed."

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Taiwen cursed: "When did I say such a thing?"

"Hmph! This is what your confidant Luo Tong told me personally. How can it be false?" Black Jack snorted coldly. He didn't expect that Taiwen would not admit it, and his cursing tone also made him feel uncomfortable. , after all, there were many of his subordinates standing around. If you give in to Tai Wen at this time, I'm afraid it will be bad for your prestige in the future.

"Luo Tong!" Taiwen turned around and asked, "Did you tell him this?"

"It's unfair!" Luo Tong said with an innocent face: "I only said this after receiving a notice from Boss Black Jack. Boss Black Jack, have you forgotten? You said that no matter whose brothel or tavern you go to, it will not matter to the other party. To be fair, it’s better to set the negotiation location in the wild. You told me this yourself!”

"When did I say this?!" Black Jack's face darkened. He thought for a moment, and then said with a gloomy face: "Boss Taiwen, I'm afraid that both of us have been tricked by your subordinates."

"Boss! I have been following you for some years. Over the past few years, I have been doing my job steadily, but there has never been anything that dissatisfied you! Boss, do you still remember?" Luo Tong was anxious at that time. , he came closer to Taiwen and lowered his voice and said: "Boss, I'm afraid this is Black Jack's counter-intentional plan. He wants to cut off your right-hand man!"

Taiwen looked at Luo Tong, then shook his head at Black Jack: "This kid Luo Tong has been following me for several years, I believe in him."

"Then you don't believe me?" Black Jack's eyes turned cold.

"I didn't believe you in the first place." Taiwen shook his head: "But today we are here to negotiate. It doesn't matter where the location is. Let's get down to business!"

"Business?" Black Jack sneered: "You took so many brothers and deliberately dragged me to this wilderness, and now you are talking to me about business? Do you really think I am an idiot?"
