Chapter 241
241 The three ‘Renegades’
May 25th, Shandu, the sun was shining brightly.
Unfortunately, the atmosphere in Qilin Hall was extremely gloomy, giving people a kind of pressure that made them not dare to breathe.
Even in this atmosphere, there was a hint of coldness.
the qilin hall that was originally filled with laughter and cheers was now deathly silent.
Unfortunately, there was no newspaper on Link’s study table.
However, this was within his expectations.
After hearing the news yesterday, the forces in the slums were all waiting for the analysis of this matter from ” on the streets and in alleys ” today.
However, when they got the newspaper, their eyes were dull and lifeless. They flipped through the front and back pages, but they didn’t see any news about the Qilin Hall.
But immediately after, these people, who were as dazed as zombies, laughed heartily.
“Hahaha, this is a complete cover-up! How could such a big thing not be reported on the streets? they couldn’t find the words ” Qilin Hall ” in the entire article. Link must have spent money on PR. He thought that as long as the newspaper didn’t publish it, this matter would be buried, but he didn’t expect that paper can’t contain fire, so he deliberately fell into a disadvantageous position!”
Doing public relations for the newspapers confirmed that link didn’t want the internal strife in Qilin Hall’s management to spread.
This also explained the authenticity of the incident.
The matter had been verified to be true. Now, he could really send someone to come forward and sow discord, taking drastic measures!
for the businesses in the buffer zone, the development of events in one day was like a roller coaster ride.
When he first joined the Qilin Hall, even the Forbes manager personally went to the hotel to receive Zhang Juren, which made the other businesses feel at ease.
However, in the early hours of the morning, Link’s statement shattered the dreams of many merchants.
That night, dozens of merchants tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
After they woke up, they rushed to confirm the news. They wanted to find the Forbes Deacon to confirm whether it was true or not. However, another Deacon, Mr. Cong, came and told them with a dark face that the agreement signed yesterday was void. As for the shares and protection fees received in advance by Forbes, they would be refunded according to the agreement.
The moment he said that, it immediately caused dissatisfaction in the Shang clan.
we’ve paid the money and joined the Qilin Hall of our own free will. How can we leave just like that? ”
please plead for Hall Master Lin. We were not threatened. We sincerely want to join the Qilin Hall. We are willing to pay protection fees and even increase our income share!
“Please think of a way, Deacon!”
In the face of the requests of many shop owners, third brother sighed and said, ” “It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I also think Fu has done a good thing. Qilin Hall has expanded its territory and increased its income, so everyone’s income can also increase. However, the boss was too rigid. He felt that he couldn’t break the rules of the neutral zone and cause the other forces to be jealous. Alan and I even spoke up for Fu because of this, but we were all criticized by boss. Boss even told us to get lost in a fit of anger. The three of us had to pack up overnight and move out to live.”
upon hearing this, the shop owners surrounding mr. cong were all silent.
this deacon had already done his best to admonish them, not hesitating to delay his own future. they could not ask for more.
“So, Wanwan, you guys should just take the money and leave. This is impossible.” Third brother’s tone was filled with regret.
The shopkeeper’s face was also filled with loneliness and disappointment. He returned the money and dispersed weakly.
When third brother saw that the money had been returned, he waved his hand and dismissed his men. “You guys go back and report. I’ll smoke here and be alone for a while!”
Not long after the subordinate left, third brother took out a cigarette from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth.
Just as he was about to take out a lighter, a hand wearing a black leather glove reached out from beside him, and the lighter in the hand was on fire.
No. 3 glanced at him. This man was wearing a windbreaker early in the morning, and it looked tattered.
The collar of the trench coat covered both his cheeks, and it was difficult to see the man’s image under the cover of the fisherman’s hat and black sunglasses.
“many thanks.”
With the cigarette in his mouth, No. 3 blocked the lighter with one hand and took a big puff with the other.
The yellow smoke that was wrapped in the white paper immediately burned red under the high temperature, and then quickly turned black.
“You’re welcome. Do you have time to talk, Mr. Cong?”
No. 3 raised his head and stared at the person in the windbreaker and hat vigilantly. He asked, ” “Who are you?”
“It won’t take up too much of your time. How about five minutes?” The man stretched out his hand and gestured for them to go to the TIT hotel next door to discuss the details.
” alright, five minutes it is. i have to rush back later. ”
No. 3 and the mysterious man in the trench coat walked into the TIT hotel.
“I don’t know if Mr. Cong is interested in us,” The man in the windbreaker took out a business card from his pocket. There were no words on the White business card, only a bright red hexagram on the White background, the symbol of Solomon’s Seal.
you’re from the hidden Alliance!? The third brother said in shock.
Ten minutes later
No. 3 and the mysterious man in the trench coat walked out of the hotel.
Third brother had a satisfied smile on his face. “I’ll bring the things over. I hope that you’ll be able to receive them when the time comes. that thing will be my proof of allegiance.”
The mysterious man in the trench coat stretched out his gloved hand.”We have never doubted Mr. Cong’s sincerity. We will definitely send more members to protect Mr. Cong’s safety. We will also promise you a good identity and status. Please rest assured about this.”
“that’s for the best. you can wait for my news.”
The two of them brushed past each other and left in the opposite direction.
The third brother still had a gloomy face, but if one looked closely, one could see a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
As for the mysterious man in the trench coat, although his facial features could not be seen, the pace of his footsteps had inexplicably increased a little.
Soon, he disappeared into the dark alley.
such a situation also happened at the dock warehouse of qilin hall and the commercial street at the same time.
A dangerous atmosphere was gradually brewing in the Qilin Hall’s territory.
In the slums of Shandu, Qilin Hall.
Ever since yesterday’s incident, link had received a lot of text messages when he woke up.
Benjamin and Li Zijun both sent text messages to ask about the changes in the morning.
when anna shared her feelings today, she also asked carefully.
Old turtle, mina, and Lei Jiuzhi also sent him messages to show their concern.
Link gave vague replies to all the messages.
The macaw walked over and said, ” “Actually, there’s no right or wrong in this matter.”
Although the macaw usually had a bad temper and would scold link the moment it opened its mouth, link was clearly in a bad mood now. The macaw naturally wouldn’t cause trouble for itself.
you punished Fu because he acted on his own and broke the rules of the slums. He also made enemies for the Qilin Hall, which has not yet established itself.
“However, Fu is also following the idea of the merchants and expanding the Qilin Hall’s territory. It has good intentions.”
Just as the macaw was about to say something, the hellhound barked and rushed in. Hellfire burned all over its body and it circled around link.
After the macaw heard this, it was completely stunned. It trembled as it said, ” boss, the hellhound said that bi ‘an Fu stole a little pig and ran away with his men!
