In just one night, the Rango Society harvested more than a dozen enemy corpses. After being stripped of their equipment, they were thrown into the underground sewer and flowed along the water to an unknown distance. Their final fate was to become food for fish.
But it wasn't a complete victory that night.
Two patrol members unfortunately died in the fight with the criminals. Our own people are always more valuable than the enemy.
Subsequent subsidies and pensions were distributed by Sabina Duke, a woman who luckily was not on the assassination list and had become Moze's confidant. Due to the death of most of her competitors in the beginning, she showed goodwill towards Moze, and her status rose rapidly. She now controls part of the finances of the Rango Society.
After receiving the pension slip, she was slightly surprised at how high the amount was. She silently agreed to it and said she would take care of everything.
Everything was stable, Rango would run as usual, and no one would even notice that Moze had disappeared.
Chapter 299: Do you want to eat the pie that falls from the sky?
Last night, few people noticed that Moze left the Lango community under the cover of darkness and went to another community under the escort of three guards, intending to establish cooperation with other gangs and undermine Panqiu's hegemony.
As one of the most powerful figures in the underground black market, Panqiu is notorious, has many followers under his command, and is extremely powerful.
But where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Although Panqiu's position is high, it is not to the point of despair. Many gangs in Dongcheng District think that he has only achieved such a status by luck. If it were them, the achievements they can achieve may not be worse than his.
The idea of "I can replace him" is prevalent among gang members, and challenging the strong is an extremely exciting thing. Gang members who are brave and aggressive will hardly miss this carnival.
The edge of the Rango Club, the territory of the Jackal Heart Gang.
Moze spoke directly to the Jackal, the gang leader. "Friend, the Wolf Pack and the Noose Gang have agreed to join forces with Rango. We're taking this opportunity to besiege Panqiu and devour this old wolf. What is your decision?"
The Wolf Pack Gang and the Jackal Heart Gang are both relatively large gangs in Dongcheng District, and they have their own communities as their hideouts.
Legend has it that the leader of the Wolf Pack is a beastman cursed by a werewolf. Many members of the Wolf Pack, like the leader, are plagued by the werewolf curse. Their tempers are sometimes irritable and sometimes sensitive and depressed. Because of this unstable character, they are like a powder keg that can be ignited at any time and often conflict with surrounding gangs.
The community where the Wolf Pack lives is isolated and closed, and most of the residents are beastmen who are discriminated against by society and other alien races who want to live well in human society.
The Jackal Heart Gang is an organization similar to the Kaza Brotherhood. It is a pure gang that relies on force to occupy communities and plunder property.
The Noose Gang is a group of secretive robbers who often sneak up on and kidnap pedestrians, stripping them of their belongings before killing them. They particularly like to lynch the kidnapped people. After lynching the hostages, they hang them on a wall or a conspicuous building for public display, with the crimes they committed written around them.
Because of this mysterious and terrifying style, the Noose Gang has become increasingly mysterious in the rumors of residents, and even has a neutral but complimentary name such as the Messenger of Revenge.
But anyone who has conducted an in-depth investigation knows what kind of gang the Noose Gang is. The so-called trials and crimes are just nonsense. They are the product of ideas that were thought up on the spur of the moment after the murder. Occasionally, if they are correct, it is just a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
——The Phantom Demon assassinated too many gang leaders overnight. Many gangs fell into civil strife due to the death of their leaders, and their vitality was severely damaged. Their strength was much reduced. These three gangs can be regarded as gangs with well-preserved strength and are representative organizations that are independent of Panqiu's rule.
The Jackal Heart Gang leader gave a cunning smile. "We've long considered attacking Panqiu, but there's no point in talking about sidelining with the Rango Gang. We'll talk about it later if you can withstand Panqiu's retaliation. Why don't we discuss how to deal with Panqiu? What kind of labor do you want from us, the Jackal Heart Gang?"
"You can't call it hard labor." Moze sneered. "This is an opportunity for you. Do you remember what Panqiu's industries are?"
"Monopoly, leaf drowning, smuggling, and human traffickers?"
Panqiu has always been involved in many industries, from the monopoly of simple and lucrative industries such as ice supply to the smuggling of contraband. There is almost nothing that his men have not been involved in. However, he knows how to grasp the measure and does not really hold all the huge profits in his hands. Instead, he will distribute part of the profits like throwing a bone stick when training a dog, and unite a group of powerful people to suppress the rest.
Although he gave away some of the profits, the industries in his hands still made other gangs jealous. These interests were also the reason why the gangs were willing to unite to fight against Panqiu.
——The Rango Club used to be a vested interest group.
But that was all in the past. Moze, who had invited a wolf into the house, had already lost control of the Rango Club and even had to take the blame for others. His future was uncertain.
Shaking some thoughts out of his mind, Moze raised a finger and said, "That's right. I recently found a smuggling route that goes up a hill. Do you want to take it?"
The leader of the Jackal Heart Gang narrowed his eyes, looking treacherous and sinister, like a vicious jackal in human form: "Are you willing to give it to me?"
"The Rango Society is Panqiu's main target. If I'm not careful, I might lose my head. I don't have the energy to deal with these things. I want to see if you'll be retaliated against if you mess with Panqiu's smuggling business."
The jackal sneered, "If I don't retaliate, Panqiu will be a eunuch without balls."
"Are you afraid?"
"Who wouldn't be afraid? But give me the route, and I'll move it as you wish."
When the profit reaches 300%, merchants will do anything at the risk of being hanged, and the profit from smuggling is more than three times. Some unique goods smuggled into Serkar can often increase their value by more than ten times.
This was enough for the Jackal to ignore Panqiu's revenge and take a chance.
Soon after, a detailed route was given to Jackal. He grinned and said, "Master Moze, would you like to stay at the Jackal Heart Gang for a while so I can entertain you?"
The Jackal Heart Gang members in the house slowly walked to the door and guarded it, seemingly unwilling to let Mo Ze leave.
There are only three guards around Mo Ze, and the strength of the Jackal Heart Gang is enough to eat them all.
But the jackal did not observe the strength in the dark.
Moze sighed. "I thought you were a smart guy, but how did you become such a dumb jackal?"
Almost the next moment after the jackal issued the threat, a shadow quietly enveloped the place. The men blocking the door suddenly wailed. The jackal looked closely and found that they were sinking as if they were trapped in a swamp, but the swamp they were trapped in was shadow.
Soon, they were swallowed up by the shadows and were no longer heard.
Before leaving, Moze hired Kassan to protect him.
The whole audience was shocked, and the Jackal was uneasily alert to his surroundings. Even though he had managed to break through to the second level and could be considered elite, he was unable to find the culprit of this phenomenon.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Mo Ze. He smiled and said, "Jackal, do you still want to stop me now?"
The jackal's face was gloomy and uncertain. After hesitating for a long time, he waved his hand and let his subordinates disperse.
The Jackal Heart Gang opened the door and respectfully saw them off.
Kashan hid in the shadows and watched all this, with a crow standing on her shoulder.
"Master, why don't you let me make the jackal into a shadow-bound legion? That way he will be more obedient."
"There's someone behind the Jackal," Noita said gently. "The gangs in East City were once purged for unknown reasons, and many of the most reckless gang leaders were assassinated. The former leader of the Jackal Heart Gang was also tragically killed. Like the other gangs, it should have fallen into internal strife and weakened, but the Jackal suddenly rose to prominence, becoming a second-tier professional. He forcefully suppressed all the chaos and led the Jackal Heart Gang to its current size."
The jackal's breakthrough was too coincidental, making people suspect that there were other forces behind it.
So Noita asked Moze to hand over a smuggling route to the Jackal. The smuggling route came from Wuling and was absolutely authentic and reliable, except that its owner had some minor mistakes.
The route is operated by Wingard, not Climbing Hill.
Closed today!
I’m too tired, Gulusi, I’ll update it tomorrow, I’m lazy for once!
———————————————————————————————————————————————— ——————————————————————————————————
Chapter 300 Curse!
Most of Serkar's resources are monopolized by the Chamber of Commerce and the nobility. The gangs' act of plundering property from the common people is nothing more than snatching the leftovers of the nobles.
Rare items like an entire smuggling route would never fall into the hands of gangs. In other words, if they could control such resources, they could also break away from the gang group and complete the class transition.
When Moze left the Jackal Heart Gang, instructions from Noita came quietly.
"Go to the Wolf Pack."
Moze's body shuddered. The Wolf Pack was the most closed-off group. Rumor had it that curses were rampant in their community, the residents were xenophobic, and outsiders were not welcome. There had even been cases where a busybody had sneaked in and been driven out.
According to gossipers, walking on the streets of the Wolf Gang's community is like walking in a cemetery, and every pedestrian you meet on the road will look at him.
This is not a positive gaze such as curiosity, but rather a question and doubt, a silent inquiry like "Why are you here?"
It is difficult for those who stray into the place to bear such a gaze.
What worries Moze the most is the rumored curse. Legend has it that people who stay in the wolf pack community for a long time will gradually be infected with the werewolf curse and become bloodthirsty and angry werewolves. Moze is very satisfied with his human identity and does not want to become a werewolf for the time being.
But Noita's order was more important than anything else. Moze's eyelids twitched a few times, and he followed the order and rushed to the Wolf Pack's territory in the long night.
There were no guards at the entrance to the community. As he approached, he could faintly hear the barking of wolves and dogs. Moze swallowed, glanced around, and whispered to confirm, "Ms. Spider Shadow, are you still there?"
A shadow rope emerged from Moze's shadow and tied around his calves. The backward drag made Moze realize that the hired killer had been protecting him in secret.
He calmed himself down and walked into the community.
Almost at the moment he stepped into the community, a ferocious gaze like that of a predator came from the darkness, stimulating him so much that his hair stood on end, as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
"Stop."
The warning, as cold as the wind, made Moze stop. Several pairs of eyes with dim light gradually emerged from the depths of the darkness. It was not until the newcomers came closer that Moze could see their appearance clearly with the help of the moonlight.
This was a herd of beasts, including jackals, tigers, leopards, and everything in between, but even the smallest dog was the size of a man.
This is the patrol team of the Wolf Pack. They are transformed from humans to prevent outsiders from sneaking into the community.
The leading lion transformed back into human form, neatly dressed, and asked Moze, "Who are you? Where are you from?"
Seeing that the lion spoke clearly and logically, Moze's tension eased a little and he introduced his origins and the purpose of wanting to unite with the wolf pack.
As Moser introduced it, Noita manipulated the crow statue to gently land on the top of the eaves and stand side by side with a white dove.
Seeing that the bird that landed was not a ferocious bird that preyed on it, but a beautiful crow, the white dove hopped to the left to make room for the crow, and the two birds looked at the people on the street together.
Soon, Moze explained his purpose and the Leo man escorted Moze deep into the community.
The other beastmen shook their tails and continued wandering the streets.
The pigeon wanted to follow Moser and others to the depths of the community. Before taking off, she hesitated for a moment, spit out a few soybeans onto the flat ground, and used her claws to form a line, like bait to lure the birds.
Noita tilted her head and looked at the pigeon, then looked at Doudou, as if she understood what the pigeon meant.
Are you trying to catch her?
Noita flapped her wings, shouted happily, swallowed the soybeans, and then tilted her head to look at the white dove.
The white dove took off and Noita followed it away.
They arrived at the Wolf Pack's territory at the same time as Moser. It was an extremely spacious courtyard with servants coming and going, brightly lit, and elegant and solemn music floating in the air like the music of Tianhu Lake, powerfully suppressing the emotions of those who heard it.
No more worldly desires.
Upon hearing the sound, Mo Ce's expression suddenly relaxed, a smile appeared on his lips, and he walked into the courtyard calmly.
There is a fountain in the center of the courtyard. A wolf-shaped statue in the center spits out water from its mouth. It is carved like a masterpiece and is lifelike.
The white dove stood on top of the wolf's ear and threw a few soybeans onto the statue's head to lure Noita to fly down.
Noita put the soybeans into the crow's stomach as before. Looking down, she saw a woman with wolf ears on her head feeding a group of wolfhounds. Seeing the guests coming, she put away the meat, waved her hand to drive away the dogs, and asked the lion in confusion: "What do you want now?"
"White Wolf, this gentleman intends to seek cooperation with us."
The lion introduced Moze's intention, and the lady looked at Moze and motioned him to speak.
Lady Beast Ears is the White Wolf, the current ruler of the Wolf Pack.
Moser stepped forward and said, "Ms. White Wolf, Panqiu's rule is now shaken. The Jackal Heart Gang and the Noose Gang have agreed to join forces with Rango. We should take this opportunity to besiege Panqiu..."
The rhetoric for the white wolf is the same as that for the jackal, except that the white wolf is not as easily incited as the jackal.
"Send your master here," White Wolf said. "With only this many of us, we can't possibly be a match for Panqiu. I believe you can see that he's the key to the Grand Chamber of Commerce. The gangs in East City are just a bunch of scattered warriors. Without someone to back them up, they'll be easily defeated."
After making the request, the white wolf raised his hand and stretched out his hand to the white dove on top of the statue, saying as if reproaching, "Where have you been? You're back so late."
The white dove glided to the white wolf's fingertips and muttered in a strange language.
Insectology helped Noita understand what the white dove was saying - this crow is so beautiful, help me catch it.
When the white wolf saw Noita, he was also stunned. Such a beautiful crow was indeed rare.
Do you want to catch him?
There are outsiders here now, and catching birds like this seems to give people a strange impression.
Just as the white wolf hesitated, Noita spoke first: "Although I don't mind playing with the bird, it would still be very distressing if it was really caught."
"Cuckoo!"
The pigeon was frightened by Noita's behavior of speaking human words. It flapped its wings several times to maintain its balance and did not fall off the white wolf's fingers.
"Don't be surprised. I never said I was your kind. I'm neither a crow nor a beastman."
Noita comforted the pigeon happily. She really liked the feeling of bullying the psychic little animals. It was naughty but also very happy.
After scaring the pigeon, Noita then said to the wary White Wolf, "I was the one who asked Moze to come here to cooperate with you, and you asked to see me. Now that I've shown up, why are you staying away from me?"
The white wolf calmed down and felt that this was not the place to talk. She waved her hand to let her men and dogs keep an eye on Moze, while she led Noita to the secret room deep in the courtyard.
In the secret room, White Wolf said, "My friend who has come from afar, since you have decided to show up, it means you are ready to make your own bargaining chips. How do you think you can make me cooperate with you and attack Panqiu, who originally had no conflict with us?"
The Wolf Pack's community is extremely closed, and Panqiu has no reason to bother with those cursed people, so this is actually one of the more stable areas in East City.
These beastmen do not welcome outside humans, just as outside humans do not welcome them with their sharp claws and teeth.
But even these introverted beastmen suffer pain, as they are trapped in the vortex of curse.
Noita looked at the white wolf's ears and whispered softly, "I can help you solve the troubles caused by the werewolf curse."
