I can go back to the mysterious age
Chapter 29 Ace of Spades
Phil was stunned.
Not far away in the darkness, a woman was also stunned.
"There are experts..." She held her breath, carefully stepped back along the corner, and gradually disappeared into the shadows.
"It's an assassin, an assassin who came specifically to kill you." Card Xiu glanced at the pale-faced Phil in the distance and said slowly.
"What is your family's business?"
At night, the yellow light of the street lamps blends with the shadows.
"Is this your home?" Ka Xiu looked over from a distance.
In front of you is a gray-white manor, with tall walls and forged iron gates. You can vaguely see the tree crowns, and the towering spiers of the houses can be seen dimly in the distance. Looking to the left and right, this seems to be a villa area.
Most of the rich people in Shirakawa City own a property here.
"Yes, but I don't actually live here. I usually live on Honeysuckle Street, which is relatively close to the school. This is where my brother usually lives, and my mother occasionally lives here."
Phil spoke word by word, and it was obvious that his brain was a little sluggish. He was probably frightened just now.
"Then let's go."
Ka Xiu picked at his fingernails, and there was a layer of blood inside.
Half an hour later, in a brightly lit and warm hall. On the brown leather sofa, Phil was holding a white porcelain cup in his hand, sipping the hot coffee in it.
The panic seemed to have calmed down a lot.
The decoration of the entire hall is low-key and luxurious, with very bright crystal lamps hanging from the top. Light golden thorn flower patterns can also be seen everywhere on the wall, which seems to be branded wallpaper. Above the pattern, there are also colorful and blurry landscape oil paintings.
Log tables and chairs, velvet cushions, and glass coffee tables. There are also several young and beautiful maids who bring tea and water from time to time.
It can be seen that Phil is indeed not an ordinary family. According to him, his father and brother both run several cross-city companies.
Ka Xiu sat next to Phil. In front of him was a transparent coffee table with three milky white coffee saucers, and the edges were inlaid with gold. Opposite him was also a sofa, on which sat a handsome young man with a refined and elegant temperament.
Matthew, Phil's brother, is twenty-six years old.
His facial features are grand and deep and three-dimensional. Her brown hair was combed back, revealing her full forehead. There is a pair of half-moon-shaped gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. His skin is a healthy light copper color, not fair. Matthew was wearing a white shirt, and there seemed to be a silver-white metal chain hanging from a pocket watch in his breast pocket.
"I have sent people to deal with those corpses. This time it is really thanks to Mr. Levi's presence, otherwise Phil would have been in trouble." Matthew gently put down the coffee cup in his hand.
"It's not a problem, it's just a little effort."
Ka Xiu took a sip of coffee and swallowed it slowly.
"Brother, why would someone come to assassinate me? It's really scary! When I saw the dagger, I was stunned and my mind went blank. Fortunately..." Phil glanced at the man next to him. Ka Xiu, with gratitude in his eyes.
"Since you asked, I won't hide it from you." Matthew glanced at Cardiff and said, "Mr. Levi, there is no need to avoid it."
What Matthew said next was very informative.
In short, the Phil family does not run an ordinary company, but a gray company, somewhere between black and white. The company's main business is also very simple, one word "wine".
You must know that the Hongli Federation clearly implemented the prohibition on alcohol from February 130 in the Federal Calendar to June 151 in the Federal Calendar, and wrote the law into the constitution. This act, known as the Prohibition Act of Trent, was implemented on February 18, 130.
According to this law, it is illegal to manufacture, sell or even transport drinks with an alcohol content exceeding 0.6%. It is not illegal to drink alcohol at home, but it is illegal to drink with friends or hold a banquet, and offenders will be fined.
The maximum penalty is a fine of 3,500 red Lebanese federal coins and imprisonment for half a year. Only people over twenty years old can buy alcohol, and must show proof of age, and can only buy it in limited places.
This bill is to advocate prohibition of alcohol and reduce social crime problems. However, Prohibition led to the proliferation of illegal alcohol, and many people enriched themselves by selling illegal alcohol. Prohibition also allowed some gang-related organizations to flourish and make huge profits from them.
After June of the 151st year of the Federation, the federal government repealed this law and lifted the restrictions on the private sale of private alcohol.
Theoretically, anyone can open a company and sell alcohol after obtaining a sales order. But in fact, some organizations have become deeply entrenched in alcohol over two decades.
Their power reaches into dark corners and becomes entangled.
So in fact, if a liquor company wants to sell liquor in a county or a city. There is absolutely no way around those organizations, and we must make an agreement with each other on sharing. And when conducting other business, it is inevitable to deal with them.
Kangnan Company founded by Phil's father is backed by a large gang-related organization in Beiliu County: Ace of Spades. This is one of the largest organizations in Beiliu County and has a wide range of interests. On the surface, formal industries include selling alcohol, tobacco, and transportation.
Privately, they resell prohibited items, such as firearms, antiques of unknown origin, medicines, etc. Of course, sometimes Ace of Spades will also provide protection or assassination services, which are expensive.
Generally speaking, no one would mess with a local tyrant like Spade A in Beiliu County. But in recent months, an organization called Sand Dust suddenly appeared in Beiliu County. The Sand Dust organization is quite strong, and its subordinates are very aggressive.
Other major organizations in Beiliu County have suffered losses at the hands of the Sand Dust organization, and this time, they set their sights on Spade A.
As a result, even companies like Conan that have business dealings with Spade A suffered an unexpected disaster. They are also very accurate in capturing the key points, and they picked Phil, who is the easiest to attack.
"So that's it." Kaxiu took a sip of coffee.
Phil next to him was even more shocked than him. Phil originally thought that his family ran a transportation company and a beverage company. Unexpectedly, the main business turned out to be alcohol, and it was related to certain organizations.
Ten minutes later, Phil came to his own room in the villa, and he found the purple wooden cane in the corner.
Phil is not very interested in antiques, so Phil didn't play with it carefully after Matthew gave him this cane.
Coach Levi saved his life and is an antique lover, so it was just right to give him this cane.
Thump, thump, thump…
Phil came down with a purple cane as long as his arm in his hand, and handed it to Kasu without any hesitation.
Kasu smacked his lips and took it solemnly.
The moment his fingers touched the cane, the bitter taste in Kasu's mouth was extremely strong, even more bitter than sugar-free coffee.
"Finally got it..."
