"Hmph, kid, no one can order me around. I, Mortimer, do whatever I want." The big man raised his head, his eyes wide open, his face full of anger.
Seeing the big man still stubborn, Hood was too lazy to say more to him, and directly ordered Nott: "Put his hand on the ground."
Nott showed a hideous smile, tightly grasped the big man's right hand, and pressed it hard on the ground.
The big man seemed to sense the danger and struggled desperately. Paul and Kuhn on the side immediately stepped forward and pressed the big man firmly to the ground.
"Let me go... Let me go if you dare..."
The big man tried his best to break free from the restraints, but under the strong suppression of Nott, Paul and Kuhn, no matter how hard he tried, he could not get rid of it, and finally he could only be pressed to the ground.
"Puff!"
With a crisp sound, Hood stepped on the big man's left hand mercilessly, and at the same time raised the dagger in his hand and chopped it down fiercely.
In an instant, bright red blood gushed out from the severed palm like a fountain, quickly dyeing the surrounding ground red...
"Ah! Ah!"
The big man let out a miserable cry, his voice full of endless pain and despair, his eyes widened, revealing unspeakable astonishment and fear.
"Tell me, who ordered you?"
Hodder stared coldly at the big man in front of him, Mortimer, whose face was extremely distorted by severe pain, and asked again in a cold tone.
Mortimer gritted his teeth, his eyes full of uncontrollable hatred, but when he saw the impatience on Hood's face becoming stronger, in order to save his other hand, he finally chose to speak and answered:
"No one instructed me, my subordinates told me that Old Charlie's tavern seemed to have been taken over by a group of outsiders, and I wanted to extort money from those outsiders, so I sent my men to the tavern."
Hearing Mortimer's explanation, Hood narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of confusion and surprise on his face.
He originally guessed that there might be someone else behind Mortimer's back, but now it seems that this is entirely Mortimer's personal behavior.
Hood sat back on the stool, quietly looking at Mortimer, who was holding his broken palm and looking painfully twisted, and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he looked up and said to Paul standing beside him: "Go and call in the town thug outside."
Paul nodded, turned and walked out of the partition room. After a while, he returned to the partition room with the thug.
As soon as the thug entered the room, his eyes were immediately attracted by the broken palm on the ground. He was so scared that he trembled all over, fell to his knees with a plop, and his face was as pale as paper.
"Sir..." The thug said in a trembling voice, looking at the broken palm on the ground with fear in his eyes.
Hod looked at the town thug carefully and found that he had a green face and looked only sixteen or seventeen years old at most. He asked: "What's your name?"
The thug glanced at Mortimer next to him nervously. His eyes flickered, his lips trembled slightly, and he stammered: "Gary..."
"Gary, a very ordinary name..."
Hod nodded, with a trace of emotion on his face, and his eyes moved away from the thug, as if he was recalling something.
However, just a moment later, a smile appeared on his face again. The smile looked very gentle, but it concealed an inexplicable look. He asked softly: "Gary, do you want to be the new boss?"
Gary was stunned when he heard this. His eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
At this time, Mortimer, who was originally in pain, stopped groaning immediately. His expression froze instantly, and a trace of shock and fear flashed in his eyes.
"Gary, I think you are also from an ordinary family. You have lived a hard life. What kind of reward did Mortimer give you for your work for you?"
Hod slowly stood up, walked to Gary with a steady pace, and then slowly squatted down to look at Gary at eye level.
There was a trace of sincerity and concern in his eyes, and his voice was low and full of bewitching, with an irresistible charm.
"As a low-level gangster, your parents must be worried about your safety every day, right? They may be disappointed with your career choice and worry that you will go astray." Hod said softly, his tone full of understanding and sympathy.
"But if you can become the new boss, everything will change. You will have more power and status, and you can give yourself and your family a better life.
You no longer need to live a life of fear, but can live a stable and happy life.Imagine how proud and relieved your parents will be at that time. "Hodder continued, his eyes sparkling.
After listening to Hodder's words, Gary's face showed a tangled expression. The desire deep in his heart made him want to nod, but he felt a little fear about the unknown future.
He slowly lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. Time seemed to stand still, and everything around him became extremely quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, Gary suddenly raised his head, and at this moment his eyes were full of desire for power. He said loudly: "I want to be the boss, I want my parents to be proud of me!" His tone was full of determination, as if he had made a decision and no longer hesitated.
Hearing the answer from his family, Hodder's mouth corners slightly raised, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
He knew that he had found an ambitious and determined person. He whispered: "Very good, as long as you are loyal to me, I will help you become the new boss of this area. "
Hearing this, Gary's eyes instantly became fanatical, as if he saw the glorious scene after becoming the boss.
He knelt on the ground excitedly, kowtowed twice to Hood, and said with a firm look: "Thank you, sir, I will be loyal to you and will not let you down!"
"Then, prove your loyalty to me first." Hood smiled lightly, pointed at Mortimer who was standing there in a daze, and then handed the dagger in his hand forward.
Gary looked at the dagger in Hood's hand and took it without hesitation. He turned around and looked at his former boss, gritted his teeth and suddenly stabbed the dagger into Mortimer's chest.
One...
Two...
...
Until Mortimer fell in a pool of blood and no longer breathed, Gary exhaled, turned around and raised the dagger with both hands, and said humbly: "Sir."
"Hahaha, Gary, from today on, this area is yours, I will help you clear all obstacles. "Hod laughed loudly.
After that, he continued to laugh and said, "This dagger is a reward for you. Use it to prove to me that I did not choose the wrong person."
"Yes, sir." Gary knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice.
