Shadow Empire

Chapter 59 Don’t Be a Sewer Dweller

After returning to the company, Lance asked everyone to come and try out the pistols. They went to a deserted cliff west of the port area. Not many people came here and it was very quiet.

Moreover, the sound of wind and waves pushing away the rocks on the shore would also cover up the sound of the gunfire. Lance simply made a few targets and let everyone try.

This is the Federation, a free Federation, so there is no such thing as "try not to use hot weapons as weapons in gang fights". He has even heard that in another city, armored vehicles were used in fights between big gangs. It shouldn't be a big deal for him to fire a few shots with a pistol.

Just as men love luxury cars, they also love weapons, and even the two girls tried them out.

They are both McGrath's revolvers, small-caliber defensive weapons. The police say they are good after using them... boring.

Lance felt that it was very likely that these information came from the police station. The federals, who were not very emotional, could not use small-caliber weapons. They preferred offensive weapons and hunting weapons, but that had nothing to do with him.

The weapons are all very new and may have only been used a few times. Big Beard said that the gun lines have been re-pulled to ensure that no trouble will be caused by using these weapons.

Previously, an unlucky guy bought a gun from a black market arms dealer to commit robbery. As a result, this gun was used in a multiple-death murder case in another state.

This idiot who fired two shots into the air at the scene without even injuring anyone but successfully robbed a few dollars was sent to the electric chair without knowing why.

The authorities need to give the people an explanation, not a murderer!

Therefore, it is not a smart choice to buy some weapons of unknown origin on the black market. Many murderers will sell their weapons on the black market, and there may be fools who will take the blame for them.

New things always attract people's attention. While everyone was trying out guns, Alvin found Lance in a corner.

"Do we really need to... use these weapons?"

Lance offered Erwin a cigarette and instead of answering his question directly, he asked, "How much did we make this week?"

Actually this is the third week, but this week is not over yet, there are still three days to go.

Erwin whispered, "Four thousand four hundred and sixty-one dollars."

He knew the number clearly and remembered it firmly in his mind, because 20% of the money belonged to them, which was nearly 900 yuan. If they could maintain this momentum in the next two days, each of them could earn at least 40 to 50 yuan in this week alone.

This was hard to imagine in the past!
Lance praised him, "I'm surprised you can remember that number, Erwin. You're more talented than I thought at this!"

But he changed the subject, "But do you know how many people out there would do crazy things for four thousand four hundred and sixty-one dollars?"

"They dare to rob people at gunpoint for a few dollars. If someone knew that a group of illegal immigrants from the Empire with no legal status can now earn thousands of dollars every month, do you think...will they go crazy?"

Erwin's pupils contracted slightly. Having made a lot of money in a short period of time, he began to develop a mentality like most ordinary people... not stupid, but definitely not smart.

I just want to live my life well, I don't want to have anything to do with others.

But this is the fucking Federation, a country full of births and endings, where miracles and destructions happen every day.

Having money but not having the power to protect it is a death sentence in the Federation.

"Do you know Mr. Jobaff?"

Erwin took a deep puff of his cigarette. He felt that his worldview and values ​​were being changed. "I know him. He's a very famous immigrant from the Empire. I heard he owns a bank."

"I spoke to him last week. He's in trouble. Someone has blackmailed him for hundreds of thousands of dollars, but he's only trying to get a small portion back, and he's not brave enough to get it back himself."

"Think about it, even Mr. Jobaf can be blackmailed and robbed, what about us?"

"If someone asked you to hand over all your money right now and get out of the federation, what would you do?"

Without waiting for Erwin to answer, Lance said, "If it were me, I would give him a bullet and tell him to go to hell with God!"

He couldn't help laughing after saying that, and at the same time he put his arm around Erwin's shoulders, "It's better to be a wolf and be feared than to be a dog and be bullied!"

"I would rather every one of you be locked up in jail for life for murder than be beaten to death and dumped in the sewer!" When everyone returned to the company, they had new energy and spirit. They had made a lot of money, fired guns, and they had a sense of strength in their hearts. That was the confidence!
"Lance, Ennio just called."

Lance nodded, took a number and returned to his office, calling, "This is Lance."

"They moved, and they haven't come out yet. Their location is..."

Lance picked up a pen and wrote down the address. "Are you safe now?"

Ennio was stunned for a moment, but then a warm current that he himself did not even notice flowed through his heart.

"It's safe. They haven't found us. What should we do next?"

"Wait for me to come."

After he hung up the phone, he gathered up his companions, "Something happened. There is danger."

"A guy named Kent stole $1,500 from me. I'm going to go get him in trouble. There might be shootings and injuries. Anyone want to go with me?"

He would not ask these people to go with him. He had been a minnow before and had climbed up from the bottom. He knew very well that some people might not have the courage, let alone be cut out for it!
If you let someone who doesn't have the courage to fight fight, it will only ruin the whole battle because you will have to be distracted to take care of him. It is better not to let them go from the beginning.

Putting the right people in the right positions is the healthy way of development, and Lance always believes in this.

Erwin and Ethan raised their hands immediately. After thinking for a while, Mello said that he would stay in the company, but he would also go if Lance needed him.

Lance didn't think there was anything wrong with Melo's choice. If he wanted to go, Lance would even let him stay.

Among this group of people, the only one who is truly mature is Melo. He is the oldest and has experienced more things. When they encounter difficult problems and Lance is not around, he can play a role in stabilizing people's hearts.

Most of the others chose to follow along, and this time he all agreed.

"Close the door for now. We'll talk about everything after I come back. If we don't come back, we'll go find Mr. Coty."

After some brief instructions, more than a dozen young people squeezed into three cars and started driving towards the Imperial District.

Kent had just woken up at this time. He slept late yesterday. Although he was the boss, he still had to work when it came time to work.

Those dealers are his partners, not his subordinates, and they will not do such heavy physical work for him.

It was just him and the big thugs who did the work, arranging things, cleaning, and tidying up, and it took them until after one in the morning.

The damn weather was so hot and stuffy that I finally fell asleep at around two o'clock amid the smell of feet and sweat.

Kent was sleeping soundly, but it was getting hotter and hotter. He was already half groggy and half awake. Finally, he couldn't lie down anymore and sat up.

He is covered in sweat!

"This damn weather, I heard that some places are already using something called air conditioning, which can cool down the room. Maybe someone of you who knows about it should ask how much it costs!"

He walked into a small room shirtless, turned on the water and took a shower.

His entire body is covered with curly hair, just like an orangutan!
Some people say that he and his brother are not real brothers. His brother looks like a normal person and does not have so much body hair, but he not only has darker skin, but also has more body hair.

The person who first said this has become the unsolved mystery of the rising water level of Angel Lake, but his words did not stop because of his disappearance. Instead, they spread even more widely.

After taking a cold shower for a while, he felt better and returned to the big room. "Turn on the ventilation. Also, what are we having for lunch?"

"Is there any good restaurant nearby? Who can go get some food?"
