Arknights is too real, right?

The person Tang Hua was referring to was undoubtedly Ansel, and Xia Feng's attitude was obviously known.

Tang Hua's face became increasingly ugly.

"Boy, I advise you to hand over that woman and that person as soon as possible."

Xia Feng had a mean smile on his face.

"Hey, my orientation is normal, but I don't have the courage of Master Tanghua. It's been several days. Who knows where the cross-dressing man has gone. He may have left Happy City or even Victoria. Who knows."

Tang Hua can tell that Xia Feng is pretending to be stupid with you.

"Boy, are you too crazy? Even Richie wouldn't dare to do whatever he wants in Happy City. Just wait for me."

After saying these harsh words, Tang Hua left with a sullen face.

Looking at Tang Hua's back, Xia Feng thought to himself.

Too big a step? Today I want to show you what the 110-meter hurdle is. I really don’t pay attention to the little Happy City.

7pm.

The official banquet of the Liye family began. In a large banquet hall in the mansion, the bigwigs from all parties who came to participate were guided here by the servants.

The banquet hall was covered with red carpets, and the exquisite lighting and wallpapers were all luxurious. Some of the men and women who came to participate were in formal wear, some in uniforms and casual clothes. Xia Feng saw Captain Buck from the Security Bureau in the crowd, and Reddy introduced some of the officials he met before, and it turned out that these guys were not clean.

A professional band played soothing light music live in the banquet hall. There were some burly men dressed casually who were obviously not suitable for this occasion, but their status did not support their being too casual. They could only hold a wine glass and be silly. Laughing dryly, these people should be bosses or representatives of small gangs in the surrounding areas.

A complete black industry chain, sometimes it is not enough to rely on one company alone. It may seem like one company is the only one, but in fact, it requires the participation of all parties in its actual operation. The strength of some local small gangs may not be that huge, but there are specialties in the industry. , they are extremely professional in intelligence, transportation, vehicle supply, etc.

From being shipped out of the factory to being smuggled and sold, light manganese ore has to pass through countless large and small cities. The route will also be changed according to the actual situation, and there are even professional response personnel abroad.

Xia Feng sat next to Leidy, holding a wine glass in his hand and looking around idly.

In his eyes, this banquet is a combination of local and foreign. A place like Hapi City is really not a modern first-tier city. If you insist on doing something too high-quality, the people's quality will not keep up, and it will become Rural country.

Sitting at the main seat in the banquet hall was an energetic little old man. This man was about 60 years old. He had some gray hair and wore a pair of gold reading glasses. This man was the current head of the Liye family, Liye. Tang De.

At this time, Tang De was looking at the guests in the hall with a smile on his face. It seemed that he liked this tune very much.

In the guest of honor seat next to Don De, Mr. Fredo is closing his eyes and concentrating. It seems that he has no interest in the process of the banquet, but since he is here, he can only attend reluctantly. After all, gangsters are gangsters, and people like him are People of this status really don't like to sit in the main seat and be noticed by people from all walks of life.

In fact, no matter analyzed from objective aspects such as wealth, strength, status, etc., Mr. Fredo is more than one level higher than Don De. The Leaf family is at best a second-level nobleman rooted in Happy City. If it were not for being The royal family has assigned a light manganese mining area, but Fredo will not take him as a local emperor with one-third of an acre of land in his eyes.

If there is no mutual relationship, you don’t need to pay attention to it, but since you have cooperated, some things cannot be ignored. Tang De only needs to have one identity, that is, he is a noble. The nobles have the power to report local matters directly to the Victoria royal family, and Tang De is still Member of the Victorian Parliament,

In a sense, the Yuan Assembly can influence the direction of the country, and can even formulate new laws and regulations. Although a local noble cannot make any waves with his virtue, but if he is pushed into a hurry, he can secretly unite with several big nobles. , it can still have a big impact.

Therefore, only rich people are afraid of gangs. Nobles are not afraid of gangs. Especially nobles who cooperate with gangs usually occupy a dominant position in cooperation.

The light manganese ore business is very important to the Freedo Chamber of Commerce. This importance is not the economic benefits it brings. In fact, the amount of money earned from smuggling light manganese ore is not particularly huge. What is really important is the chain created by the monopoly. reaction.

Assume that the Liye family is the only flour wholesaler in the country. If ten steamed bun shops purchase flour from the Liye family and sell steamed buns, the steamed buns will always cost 5 cents each. At this time, the Fredo Chamber of Commerce has a monopoly on all the flour wholesalers. Flour is not allowed for others to buy flour from here. As long as the steamed buns that can be seen in the market are all from the Frido Chamber of Commerce's steamed bun shop.

At this time, the meaning of the steamed buns has changed. Although it is still 5 cents each, if I don't sell it to you, or if I deliberately sell it to you a few days late, you will be at risk of starving to death.

God's mentality has changed. The uses of light manganese ore involve various fields and cannot be replaced by other substances. From purchasing to purchasing, the actual benefits brought will be infinitely expanded. With this relationship, Another form of benefit will be obtained from all the customers who are waiting for food.

This is also the reason why Mr. Frido personally came to Happy City to discuss with Don De.

"Ah~~~"

Xia Feng casually put his feet on the table and yawned.

Reddy next to him immediately scolded.

"Put your feet down. This is not your home. There are some rules."

"oh."

Xia Feng put his feet down and put them on his knees.

Status is a very magical thing. Just like his current behavior is very unqualified in the eyes of other guests. They must be thinking in their hearts that gangsters are gangsters. They are a group of rough people who cannot stand up to the stage and only know how to fight and kill. Just like him When he was eating just now, he took the knife and fork in the wrong direction, and the old woman next to him gave him the same mocking smile.

But in the final analysis, this is not caused by quality and upbringing, but by status.

If he switches identities with Mr. Fredo now, even if he puts his feet on the table, others will not be displeased. They will only think that he is very individual. Even if he throws away his knife and fork when eating, If he stuffs it into his mouth directly with his hands, others will give him a thumbs up and call him informal.

Xia Feng's favorite thing to do is to silence those self-righteous guys, but his current status is not enough to pretend to be so, so now he can only put his feet down from the table obediently.

At this time, it was obvious that he was not the only country bumpkin in the banquet. Apart from the bosses of those small gangs, Xia Feng also saw someone in the crowd.

There was only one person sitting on the round table in the corner, and there was a tall stack of empty plates next to him. Unlike the well-behaved guests next to him, this guy was full of energy at this time, stuffing the food on the table like a whirlwind. In his mouth, his posture was like that of a savage who had just been rescued from a desert island.

At this round table, which could have accommodated seven or eight people, no guest dared to approach it because they felt a substantial murderous aura, like the deterrent force of a large carnivore when it was eating.

This person is the Aslan young man who came with Richie.

Xia Feng curiously poked Reddy beside him, pointed at that person and asked.

"Brother Lei, who is this guy? Why does he seem like he has never eaten?"

Leidy looked in the direction of Xia Feng's finger.

"Xia Feng, I advise you not to provoke him."

"Why? Is that guy strong?"

"His nickname is Nanfeng. He has many identities in the Chamber of Commerce. Among them, the most understandable identity is probably the real gold medal fighter in the Chamber of Commerce."
