Life After Prison

“Hey, Boss! Do you think Larry and his group are brave enough to accept our invitation?” asked a bald man sitting in front of a bearded man in the mountain villa.

The bearded man was Monte, leader of the Cedar Gang! Next to them stood the one–eyed man from the previous night with several other people, and all of them were considered the most. people of the Cedar Gang.

Monte smiled coldly. “Haha! I sent invitations to a lot of wealthy businessmen, and if the Draco Hall’s people are afraid to come, then you can bet that the news will spread like wildfire. When that happens, they’ll be laughed at for sure! Of course, they’ll be laughed at all the same if they brought a whole group of people. They’ll lose their reputation just as well if word gets out that they’re afraid of having a meal with us!”

Then, Monte continued, “But if they come with only a few people, then today will mark the death of Larry Dune! Haha!”

Upon hearing that, One–Eye frowned. “But sir, both Larry and Blade are very skilled fighters. They’ve killed many people in the course of their life. If we go all out and one of them happens to escape, it’ll spell trouble for us!”

Monte sneered. “Do you think I’d ever fight a battle that I’m not confident of winning? First of all, 1 specifically prepared a bottle of poisoned wine for them, so we don’t have to do anything if they drink it. Second of all, even if they happen not to drink any wine, then we still have a backup plan. We’ve joined hands with a force in Riverson, and they sent seven or eight men who will help us surround Larry’s men and kill him. That would ensure that nothing goes wrong!”

“Are you talking about the Blood–Drinker Gang? I heard that they’re a force to be reckoned with, and they’ve managed to find develop quickly in Riverson. They won’t do things if there’s nothing in it for them. Did you promise them something?” One–Eye asked worriedly from one side. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“A third of Draco Hall’s property and territory will be shared with the Blood–Drinker Gang as decided on from our negotiations!” Monte could only smile bitterly. “We have no choice. Draco Hall is no pushover, and our Cedar Gang can’t handle them alone. Since the Emerald Cloud Gang won’t lend a hand and cooperate with us, they can kiss goodbye to maintaining a tri–partite balance, hmph! Since they’ve made their bed, they can’t blame me for being ruthless. Once we have destroyed Draco Hall, we can easily subdue the Emerald Cloud Gang!”

The bald man was silent for a moment, after which he said to Monte, “Are they reliable, Boss? None of the people from the Blood–Drinker Gang are good people. If we give them too many benefits, we’ll only give them room to progress in Brookbourn. I’m worried that it might not be good for us if they gain a firm foothold here in the future!”

Monte clenched his fists, stood up, and said with a stern face, “Ruthlessness begets stability. Besides, once I take down Draco Hall and the Emerald Cloud Gang, I will have the final say in Brookbourn. There will then be no need for me to be courteous to those first–tier families, hmph! And as for the Blood–Drinker Gang, we have nothing to fear once we’re strong enough. If we want to get things done, we’ll just give them a little something in return!”

“I guess we’ll go with your decision since you’ve already made up your mind. Whatever it is, we will

always believe in you!” The bald man clenched his fists and had a ruthless gleam in his eyes.

Monte, however, smiled bitterly. “Hehe, the only thing I’m worried about right now is that Larry and Blade are cowards who aren’t bold enough to come here! Haha!”

“Sir! Sir! They’re here! Several cars are driving up the mountain!” All of a sudden, one of the Cedar Gang’s younger members ran over and said anxiously to Monte.

“They’re here? Are you sure it’s them? Was it only a few cars?” Monte frowned and added, “That doesn’t seem right. Are they really that bold to bring such few people even though they know that our relationship with them has been so tense recently? I’ve ordered two or three hundred of our people to hide in the shadows, and all of our strongest men are here too!”

“Let’s go,” the bald man said after some thought. “We’ll wait outside the villa. Perhaps Larry and Blade didn’t come in person but only sent several people over to give hand over some gifts. He’s no idiot, after all, and he’ll be digging his own grave if he brought that few people here.”
