Empire of Shadows

Chapter 272: He's Actually a Pretty Good Guy [666+13]

Wolfe listened to the voice on the phone, and it took him a while to react.

Blue Eyes, strictly speaking, was his cousin, a distant relative. There might be some blood relation, but it was very thin.

He had thought of many possibilities, but he never imagined that this guy would die!

He rubbed his cheeks to clear his head, then ran to the door and shouted, "Where's my damn, stupid cousin?"

There were still some people in the room. Some were sleeping on the sofa, others were still playing pool, and of course, some young people were hugging girls and making out in the corners.

Wolfe's shout stopped everyone. They looked at each other, seemingly unaware of Wolfe's ruthless and taciturn cousin.

At this moment, a young man said, "He said he was going out for a couple of drinks tonight..."

"Go to the bar and see if he's there," Wolfe said, already feeling uneasy. He had thought the phone call was a prank, but now he vaguely felt that the idiot might really be dead.

The young man showed a look of difficulty, "He's not at our bar. He went to Venom's bar. I don't know where that is."

"Fack!" Wolfe cursed.

His loud voice alarmed the gang's second-in-command in the next room. He walked in from the door, looked at Wolfe, and then at the others, asking curiously, "What's wrong?"

"My cousin might be dead. Someone just called me and said Bill killed him, telling us to get out of the port area..."

Before he could finish speaking, the second-in-command calmly made a judgment, "It's likely to escalate the conflict between us. This might be a trap."

Wolfe pinched his waist for a while, reopened the door to his room, and led the second-in-command in.

The second-in-command pushed up his glasses, "Then what are you worried about?"

Wolfe's face showed some worry, "I'm worried they won't stop there. If they know there's another group targeting us in the dark, they'll be under a lot of pressure!"

"Everyone is under a lot of pressure now. We not only have to deal with the Red Dog Gang, but also be wary of attacks from other small gangs. The key is that it's difficult for us to recruit enough manpower here."

The second-in-command also showed a troubled expression. He was originally a high school teacher at a high school in Phides City.

One day, the police station suddenly called him, saying that his child had been in a car accident. He rushed to the hospital, but was unable to see his child one last time.

Even when they claimed the body, they only gave him a quick glance and asked him to leave.

This made him feel something was wrong. He spent some money and got a message from the coroner that the police hadn't told him.

His child died from a close-range gunshot, three shots in the chest, his heart torn apart. Death, along with blood, drowned this young life.

Later, he learned that his son was only mistaken for someone else and dragged into an alley and shot.

It's quite normal for gangs to kill the wrong person in feuds. It's like everyone is walking forward, and suddenly someone shouts a name from behind.

The person who turns around isn't necessarily the person they're calling, it could also be the person watching the excitement!

The other party was a locally well-known gang, and they seemed to think he had no way to take revenge. They spent some money to suppress the case.

He had tried to report these circumstances to the police station, but was severely beaten by the gang members who arrived at the police station. The other party even dropped a sentence, saying that if he messed around again, they would kill him and his family.

Just when he was feeling desperate, he met Wolfe. The Wolf Gang was expanding rapidly and needed all kinds of talents.

As a high school teacher, his education level was definitely the most outstanding among this group of scum.

As a price, Wolfe helped him avenge his son. The gang that killed his son and dozens of gang members had already gone to the underworld to accompany his son.

This also made him very loyal to Wolfe, and he also understood a truth—

Only by mastering power can you control your own destiny!

Over the years, he has also contributed a lot to the gang. The rapid development of the Wolf Gang is also directly related to him. He is now the second-in-command of the Wolf Gang, nicknamed "Professor."

Although he is not a real professor, the people of the Wolf Gang think he is better than a real professor!

Now the development of the Wolf Gang in Goldenport City has encountered some problems. The locals are somewhat wary of foreign gangs, and they cannot recruit many people.

The reason they are developing so rapidly now is because they have brought hundreds of people, but these people will not always exist.

They will also die, they will also leave, and now it is getting more and more chaotic, firefights are happening every day, and people are falling every day.

If they cannot find a source to replenish gang members, then they will only become weaker and weaker. On the contrary, the Red Dog Gang, after this period of firefights, seems to be becoming more resilient.

The professor gave a suggestion, "We can recruit those illegal immigrants. As long as they have something to eat, they don't care what you want them to do."

Wolfe had not recruited illegal immigrants before, he was a little worried, but the current situation did not seem to allow him to continue to consider.

He nodded, "I will take care of this...", he paused, "What I meant just now was, can we use this incident to make everyone more united?"

"I don't know how to express it, but you should understand what I mean!"

The professor nodded, "Let grief become the motivation for revenge, that's what you want to express, I don't think there's any problem."

He pondered for a while, "Since there is a third force joining in, then we should take action against them as soon as possible."

"Tomorrow I will contact people from other small gangs, so that even if they don't stand on our side, they won't stand on their side."

"Then we can use all our strength on the Red Dog Gang...", the professor's expression became a little strange, "Who the hell would seriously come up with this broken name?"

"It sounds like a bunch of pimps!"

This may be the reason why the Wolf Gang is staring at the Red Dog Gang and hitting them hard. A wolf and a dog, they are naturally incompatible!

A smile appeared on Wolfe's face, "It's settled then!"

"But I'm a little curious, how will you convince those people?"

The professor is very refined. He and these gangsters are completely different types. He speaks unhurriedly, and his tone is very gentle, and his pronunciation is very clear.

This is a habit naturally formed over many years of his teaching career. If you don't force him to change it, he won't be able to change it back.

And this also makes him a well-deserved second-in-command. Many young people are actually quite afraid of him. Seeing him will remind them of their high school teachers. These bad kids are always afraid of teachers, especially when this teacher is also the second-in-command of the gang!

But the only thing that makes them not so worried is that there won't be endless homework now.

"I will tell them that if we fall, then no one will be able to curb the expansion of the Red Dog Gang."

"On the contrary, if we win against the Red Dog Gang, we can give up enough territory and benefits for everyone to make money together."

"Whether they believe it or not, they will stand on our side, because human nature is selfish, Wolfe."

"The reason they are able to develop so quickly and healthily now is because we are standing at the forefront of this torrent."

"Once they lose our banner, this wall, they will have to face the Red Dog Gang directly."

"They don't want us to win, and they don't want us to lose, but we are currently at a disadvantage, so they will definitely support us."

"When we become advantageous, it will be too late for them to regret it!"

He tried to tell him in a way that Wolfe could understand, which inspired Wolfe a lot, "Meeting you is truly God's grace to me, I'll leave these things to you..."

After the two discussed the details, Wolfe told his subordinates that his cousin had been killed and he wanted revenge!

The next morning, Bill woke up from his sleep.

Since the assassination that day, he had not returned home and had been living in the headquarters every day.

Apart from the sleeping being a little uncomfortable, there was nothing else bad about this place.

There were people everywhere, all with weapons in their hands, and most importantly, a sense of security, which was too important to him.

Before he could ask someone to buy him some breakfast, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and someone said in a slightly panicked tone, "We found a body in the yard, a high-ranking cadre of the Wolf Gang."

Bill was stunned for a moment, "Take me to see."

Soon he saw the body that had obviously been thrown in from outside the high wall, but seeing Blue Eyes at this moment, those terrifying memories flooded back into his mind. He jumped up and kicked the body a few times, cursing and cursing for a while.

Even now, when he recalled the memory of this guy pointing a gun at him, he still couldn't help but feel fear!

But at this moment, he was relieved!

He was still standing, but Blue Eyes was lying down, Mother Facker!

"Throw him out," Bill said, straightening his clothes, but suddenly he thought of something, "Wait a minute!"

Everyone knew he had been assassinated, and almost succeeded, which made him a joke in the port area.

Those small gangs that took his money and guns didn't seem to respect him that much anymore.

Now when he saw those people, he always felt that they were gossiping about him behind his back.

It was time to shut these people up!

A little over ten minutes later, two cars screeched to a halt outside the Wolf Gang's arcade. They quickly dumped a body and sped away. The screams of passersby startled the people inside the arcade. They rushed out, guns in hand, only to find a corpse lying on the side of the road, its pale face and vacant eyes staring up at the azure sky…
