Chapter 768 No One is Innocent and the Attacking Father

Milo looked up at Lance. Half of the sky was already stained with thick black smoke, which made the light on half of Lance's face slightly dim, while the right side was still bright in the morning light. From the bridge of his nose, the whole person seemed to be divided into two parts.

Part of his face is shrouded in sunlight, and his handsome face makes it hard to believe that he is the biggest gang leader in Likalai State.

The other part was obscured by the shadow, and he merged into one with the shadow, or in other words, at this moment, he was the shadow!
For some reason, Miro had this feeling at this moment, but he was not happy at all because of his artistic cells.

He knew that he was going to die.

He thought about the first time he killed someone.

At that time, he was just sixteen years old and had already started working for the family with his father.

A guy got into their warehouse from nowhere and stole something worth about five thousand dollars.

One of his father's uncles was very angry. He was an old man who liked to talk about the "glory of the Perez family" in everything. Even if someone just saw him without taking off his hat to say hello, he would lose his temper -

"This man has no respect for us and the Perez family. We are going to teach him a lesson."

As a matter of course, the things in the warehouse were stolen. He believed that this was a blasphemy and provocation to the honor of the Perez family. If this man could not be caught and punished, and everyone knew that the glory of the Perez family would not be allowed to be humiliated in the slightest, then it would be the greatest shame for the Perez family.

He was not young and was a direct member of the family, so his words carried some weight, so this matter, which was not even a small matter, was handed over to Milo and his father.

It's mainly up to him.

At that time, he had just entered high school. He had been well-nourished since childhood, so he was very tall, strong and sturdy. He was definitely one of the tallest people in the high school campus.

He doesn't like going to school, he longs for the free and easy life of a gangster.

Anyway, he would still have to work for the family in the future, so he dropped out of school early and started working. This could be considered a test from the family.

He identified a suspect through his family's channels, and the things the suspect had recently sold on the black market were the ones they had lost.

But this man was very cunning and no one knew where to find him, so Milo went to his best friend.

The scene at that time... seemed to be the same as it is now. The young man, who was a few years older than him, knelt in front of him, begging to let him go. He had no idea what his good brother had done or where he was.

It was in the unfortunate guy's apartment. He was standing in the room and the unfortunate guy was kneeling in front of him.

His father and his father's men were standing at the door, looking at him through the door.

He tightened the gun in his hand, cursed "you bastard", and pulled the trigger directly at the innocent person.

Several shots were fired in succession, blood splattered on his face, and he had a "slow and cruel smile" on his face, as if... his body did not react and could not keep up with the rhythm of his thoughts.

The expression on his face looks like a smile, but if you look closely, it's actually ferocious!

He didn't care if that man actually knew what his brother had done, or if he was innocent, that was the effect they wanted -

If you offend the Perez family, you will be implicated far and wide.

If you don't want to be implicated, report him!

This trick was very useful, and soon they got a piece of information from another person, which allowed them to find the person who stole the family property.

When the matter was reported to the family, Miro was praised by his father and uncle as "the young backbone of the Perez family", a compliment, but it is said that he called at least twenty or thirty young people that way.

But no matter what, his performance brought him into the sight of the family's ruling class, and also led to everything he has today.

In a trance, he overlapped with the innocent people who knelt in the shadow of the apartment and begged him that day. They were all so innocent and so... helpless.

He looked at Lance, trying to find mercy in his eyes, even a hint of mercy.

But he found only indifference.

Lance shook his head slightly, "You have been honored by your last name, and you will also pay the price for your last name."

He took a step back. At that moment, Milo got goosebumps all over his body and his scalp was numb. He jumped up suddenly, but it was too late!

The person behind him pressed down on his shoulders, and something cold was pressed against his head. This time he did not stop resisting, he was still struggling, but the next second, a gunshot rang out.

He looked at the blood foam spurting out on the ground, and at the white tissue in the blood foam. The muscles on his face twitched, and his memory stayed on the scene of the young man who was older than him and finally fell at his feet.

He fell to the ground.

There was no sound.

Lance looked down at his leather shoes, feeling helpless.

"Next time you shoot someone in the head, point the muzzle downward. The leather shoes I just made..."

He walked over to Milo's body and rubbed the upper of his shoe on his clothes, "Damn it... I don't want to talk about you."

Hiram smiled nonchalantly, "I'll give you ten pairs. If ten pairs are not enough, I'll give you a hundred pairs. Wear them once and throw them away. How about that?"

Lance glanced at him and said, "I'll deduct one month's salary from you."

Hiram's eyes widened and his face was filled with disbelief.

Laun put away his weapon and curled his lips, "You deserve it."

The two of them soon started playing and fighting together. Lance glanced at the rack used to hang things and signaled people to hang Milo on it.

Soon the convoy left here, and the fire spread over, and everything was burned to ashes in the raging fire...

The state police also left with Lance and the others. These people were arranged by Chief Anthony to follow them so as to avoid as much trouble as possible.

The state police have the qualifications and powers to perform their duties across state lines, so this is not an offense to their counterparts in Indno.

The convoy met on the intercontinental highway and then headed towards Likalai State. When the convoy entered the territory of Likalai State, all the cars slowed down and slowly pulled over.

The sheriff in the first police car that stopped came to Lance's car. Lance rolled down the window and said, "Mr. Lance, I have some captured cowboys here."

Lance glanced at him, then turned to look at Hiram, "You handle it."

Hiram rolled his eyes, opened the door and left the passenger seat with his submachine gun.

Soon all the cowboys were taken out of the police car. There were only a dozen of them in total. In fact, there were still some cowboys, but they ran very fast or were very cunning and did not get involved.

Some cowboys were still struggling and emphasizing the rights they had, but some others had already realized that something was wrong, but it was a little too late.

They were asked to kneel on the side of the road. Some resisted but were killed immediately. Then Hiram walked past them one by one like a king's executioner.

The gunshots in the wilderness startled the birds and animals that were staying nearby. Large flocks of birds circled in the air, and after the convoy left, they swooped down to taste the rare blood meal.

The strong smell of blood soon attracted nearby predators, and the relationship in the food chain was vividly demonstrated at this moment.

In Indno, the fire was growing bigger and bigger. The mayor was afraid that the fire would eventually spread here, so he had to call the fire department, and soon the fire brigade from the nearby city rushed over.

After looking at the fire and observing the terrain, the fire captain said that he could only let it burn out on its own.

They dug a firebreak around Maple Grass to ensure that the fire would not spread to the surrounding areas. Then they left a few people to observe while the others left.

The fire continued to burn until the evening, when it was finally completely burned out.

The mayor and his men had no idea what was happening on the farm. At this time, the mayor, the sheriff, some brave men and some cowboys who had not been captured entered the farm, but soon they all ran out with their mouths covered.

A strong, sickening aroma!

Fake!

The mayor was fat and vomited the most. He even vomited out the hard noodles he had for breakfast!

What made him even more terrified and uneasy was that as long as he closed his eyes, that scene would appear before his eyes -

Hanging on the gallows was a smoked corpse, still sizzling with oil...

Fake!

He spat and cursed at the same time. Although it was too dark to see the specific appearance, he knew that it was Miro Perez!
Five minutes later, Milo's father received a call.

Because of his outstanding performance when he was young, he has been transferred back to the family headquarters to work, mainly responsible for some business matters. The higher the level of the gang, the more it is like a capital-operated enterprise, everything will be more regulated and more scaled.

He sat quietly in front of the phone. There was no sound in the receiver for a long time, even the busy tone had disappeared long ago. There was only "nothing", as if it was dead silence.

He sat there for a long time without coming to his senses. When he was young, he was brave and combative, so he was not a direct member in the strict sense.

Direct members refer to the branch of the second generation head of the family. There have been quite a few of them over the years, but more are indirect descendants.

Indirect descendants are not always indirect descendants. As long as they contribute to the family, they can become direct members.

Direct family members have many welfare benefits. For example, as soon as their children are born, they are registered in the family fund and can receive a sum of money every month as they age.

When they reach the age of 20, they can choose to continue receiving monthly payments or to receive a lump sum.

In addition, there are many other benefits.

He wanted his sons and descendants to become direct members of his family, so he worked very hard.

Only in this way can his children and future generations not have to risk their lives like he did.

Although the family no longer needs to expand its territory, maintaining the stability of the family still requires a large number of manpower, and battles are happening every moment.

Because he fought too hard, he was shot in the testicles during a battle and lost his ability to have children.

Milo placed all his faith in the inheritance of his bloodline, and even sent him to a southern farm far away from his family to be a farmer at the age of twenty-something, his best.

It is to allow him to avoid possible brutal gang fights, both internal and external.

Unexpectedly, he had tried his best to protect his son, but he still died.

He put down the phone, and he seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant, as if all his energy and spirit were sucked away by an invisible hand.

He sat there hunched over, his mind blank.

It was not until a long time later that he realized someone was knocking on the door.

"The door is unlocked, come in."

The door was opened and one of his cousins ​​stood outside. "Mr. Fran wants you to come over."

He nodded, "I'll go right away."

His voice was a little hoarse, as if a veil had covered his throat after hearing the terrible news.

He stood up slowly, holding on to the table. It was apparently a simple task, but for him now, it became a very difficult task.

His legs seemed unable to support the weight of his body!
He took a step and almost fell down, and it was not until a while later that he returned to normal.

The journey that usually took seven or eight minutes took him more than ten minutes. When he pushed open the door of Fran's huge office, there were already many people in the room.

Some of the family’s core members and immediate family members are here.

"Come here!" Fran had already stood up. He walked around the table and hugged Milo's father. It was a strong and tight hug!

"I'm sorry, I heard the bad news. I have sent people from nearby families over there. Maybe..."

He wanted to say, "Maybe that wasn't Milo," but in the end he didn't say it, because what he had learned and his own experience had already told him that it was fucking Milo!

Only Milo will be hung!
This is a revenge, a revenge to vent hatred, so the one who was hung must be a member of the Perez family!
Who the hell would hang a farmer or a farmer's wife?
Milo's father could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears.

The Perez family members around him looked at him solemnly, with more or less sadness on their faces.

The old man who always "blasphemed the family honor" was also here. He sat on the sofa, holding the top of his cane with both hands. This time he didn't yell loudly.

"Fran, I want revenge for Milo!"

"Please allow me to go to Likalai State."

There was no change in Fran's expression, but he was very unhappy in his heart. Going to Likalai State was no different from giving away his head.

The more people died, the authority of the Perez family would be undermined, but he couldn't say no now, after all, Milo just died.

He glanced at Bob, who immediately stood up and said, "I support your revenge, but we have to find out who did it first."

Fran nodded slightly, knowing that his brother knew what he was thinking.

Milo's father let go of Fran, and while apologizing, he took out a handkerchief to wipe his red eyes.

After a moment, he looked at Bob, "Who else could it be but Lance?"

They all knew that the family had just burned down four movie theaters in Lance, which dealt a serious blow to the Lance family's reputation.

The only family that could take such bloody revenge at this time is the Lance family.

The mayor also said that the state police who came were all driving Likalai State police cars.

Police from different places and different departments have their own independent set of identification tools. The police badges they show have the words "Likalai State Police" written on them.

Bob raised his eyebrows, his mind spinning faster than ever before, "It's too obvious, Ted (Milo's father)!"

"Yes, it's too obvious. They seem to be afraid that others don't know they are from Likalai State, so they deliberately show their IDs to them. They seem to be leading us to this incident, which was done by people from Likalai State."

"Everyone knows that we are in conflict with the Lance family. If we are retaliated against, should we retaliate back?"

"A direct member of our family was killed. We certainly can't pretend that we know nothing. Once we take action, will we fall into someone's trap?"

“I’m so heartbroken!”

"Milo was an outstanding young man and he shouldn't have left so early."

"So we need to figure this out in more detail!"

"If it wasn't done by the Lance family, even if we executed Lance, the real murderer would escape and he would even laugh at us. Milo's soul would never find peace!"

Perhaps it was the last sentence that worked. Milo's father calmed down a little. "I understand. You are right. I was impulsive."

Fran regained control of the conversation at this time. "I will immediately arrange for someone to investigate this matter, and I will inform you as soon as there is a result."

"Don't worry, as long as we find out who did this, we will never let him go!"

The old man who liked to shout slogans also found a suitable opportunity at this time. He stomped on the floor with his cane and said, "No matter who it is, we will not allow anyone who blasphemes the glory of the Perez family to live in this world!"

Fran nodded again, "Yes, we won't allow that."

"Now besides figuring out who our enemy is, there is one more thing to do. Go and bring Milo back."

"He should stay with his people."

The Perez family has its own family cemetery. After death, you can be buried in the family cemetery. The closer the burial position is to the center, the more it is a symbol of honor!
Ted took a deep breath, tears welling up in his eyes. He almost gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go myself!"

Fran glanced at him, then nodded, "Okay, go there yourself and bring some more people with you."

Ted took out his handkerchief again and wiped his tears. "Sorry, I lost my composure. I'll go get ready first."

"He's too lonely there alone, I want to bring him back as soon as possible!"

Fran didn't stop him.

The moment Ted walked out the door, the expression on his face changed.

In fact, he knew, and the people inside also knew, that there was only one possibility to slap the Perez family in the face so blatantly.

But they have to think about the overall situation.

He didn't want to, he was just a father who lost his only child, and he wanted to avenge his child, that's all!
