Chapter 177 - Unify the "Jianghu (two in one)
"I agree!"
After Hammerhead was dealt with, Owl was the first to raise his hand and stand up for Tommy.
"I am the first to vote in favor of Mr. Vercetti's proposal. I wonder what you think?"
Before the meeting, Owl had contacted Tommy and reached a certain degree of tacit understanding.
At this moment, he came out as the leader, which immediately put the other leaders in an awkward situation.
Moreover, there was more than one person who was entrusted today.
Tombstone also stood up.
"Mr. Vercetti is extremely powerful and has many brothers under his command. Who in the underworld doesn't know?
It is natural that Hell's Kitchen should be ruled by Mr. Vercetti.
Not only that, I also suggest that everyone unite and form a gang alliance with Mr. Vercetti as our leader. I believe that with his leadership, our business will surely be successful and become more brilliant!"
With the singing of Tombstone and Owl, even a fool can know what is going on now.
Rattlesnake sweated and muttered to himself.
"After all this time, the Italians not only want to swallow up the entire Hell's Kitchen, but also want to establish their own position in the underworld."
To be honest, he didn't want to agree.
No one wants to be controlled by others.
But can he not agree?
Hammerhead, who dared to oppose, has paid the price with his life. Now he is lying on the ground unconscious, obviously breathing less and breathing more, and he won't live for too long.
However, from another perspective, today's incident is not completely without benefits.
As the saying goes, a snake cannot survive without a head.
In the past, everyone was free to fight on their own, but they had to fight every few days, and they lost a lot of money every time.
If they were targeted by the FBI again, it would be even more troublesome, and they might have to find a way to run away.
But if the Italians became the leader, they might not have to worry about such problems.
There have been reports in the tabloids that the Italians had an affair with the mayor's daughter.
Before that, no one took it seriously, just thinking that it was nonsense made up by unscrupulous reporters to sell newspapers.
What you hear is not what you see. No one will take this kind of unfounded thing seriously.
And now, the facts are in front of them.
Not long ago, the largest financial information company in New York published a news report in the media, publicly supporting Tommy's cryptocurrency.
And everyone knows that the founder of this financial information company is the current mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg.
Considering this, letting Tommy be the leader may be a good choice.
The only thing that worries Rattlesnake is whether Tommy's idea of forming an alliance is sincere or due to some calculation.
If he really wants to unite and gain strength, he can just agree without worrying so much.
The fear is that Tommy is just in the name of the alliance, but secretly considering annexation.
"We are willing to let Mr. Vercetti be the leader!"
The situation is stronger than people.
Just looking at the attitudes of Tombstone and Owl, you can know that the three companies have reached a consensus.
If these people don't know what's good for them, they will only destroy themselves.
Realizing this, several more gang leaders immediately raised their hands to speak and bowed to Tommy.
"Very good, very good!"
Tommy nodded slightly with a satisfied look on his face, then turned around and looked at the only person who had not spoken and asked.
"So, Rattlesnake, what do you think?"
"Alas..."
Rattlesnake had no choice but to sigh and finally agreed.
"Me too!"
As soon as he said this, Tommy's smile became more obvious.
He stood up, glanced at everyone present, and made the final announcement.
"Since everyone has reached an agreement, our gang alliance is officially established from today!"
His voice was full of undeniable majesty.
Without rules, there is no order.
Any organization that wants to last long must abide by certain rules.
Even gang forces are no exception.
Of course, Tommy did not have the idea of copying federal laws.
Gang members are all lawless lunatics. Expecting to organize them into an elite army is doomed to fail.
Moreover, Tommy looked down on those gangsters and was too lazy to absorb those scum into his own hands.
Rattlesnake's worries were completely unnecessary.
What Tommy wanted to do was very simple.
He just wanted to formulate a code, which was simply a solution to problems.
It would be of great benefit to both gang leaders and gang members.
"This is the manuscript I drafted earlier. After you read it, tell us what you think."
Rattlesnake was the closest, took the manuscript, and read the contents carefully.
"Keep your mouth shut. You can't tell the gang's secrets even if you are beaten to death."
"The gang is above the individual."
"You must not disobey the orders of your superiors."
"You must not rebel and surrender."
"Keep it secret from your family."
"You must not engage in kidnapping activities without authorization."
"Fighting is strictly prohibited among gang members."
"You must not seduce your friend's wife."
...
Rattlesnake was a little surprised.
Because this treaty is very simple and not harsh at all.
He originally thought that Tommy was in power and would use his power to suppress others, take advantage of the opportunity to make rules to seek benefits for himself, and forcefully order them to abide by it.
But now it seems that Tommy's actions are more like fixing some conventional things in the form of documents, and there is not much content.
More importantly, the use of words is very simple, and as long as you understand the words, you can basically understand them.
This allows those gangsters at the bottom to understand and understand, and has the value of promotion.
"Yes, just do as you do."
The Rattlesnake agreed and passed the manuscript downwards, which also received a lot of approval.
"I have no objection."
"agree."
“It’s totally feasible.”
...
All the gang leaders present expressed their opinions, and no one expressed objection to this.
With the approval of these people, this gang code will become an iron law and will be widely circulated in the underground world.
"Tsk, how could Italians be the boss?"
Becoming the leader, he still abides by the rules.
The Rattlesnake admires Tommy a little.
If he had been sitting in Tommy's position, he would never have been so principled in doing things and would have made great efforts for himself.
Of course, he also misunderstood Tommy.
The reason why Tommy is not greedy or taking it is not that she doesn’t think about it, but that she simply looks down on it.
He has a wealthy family and is not short of money, and some are ways to make money.
There is no need to dirty your hands like these gang leaders.
Didn't he outsource the flour business on his territory to the owl?
What he really wants is just a base of his own.
That's why he must take the Hell Kitchen.
As for the rest, he didn't even look down on it.
Let those people distinguish.
Annexation or something is even more impossible.
His Visedi Gang is currently very well managed, so there is no need to add any more scum to it, which has simply damaged the purity of the team.
Take down Hell Kitchen, establish your own leadership, and establish gang codes. The meeting ended after the three things were discussed.
The rattlesnakes went back to their homes.
Tommy naturally opened the door and left the conference hall.
It's getting late and the moon is shining.
The streets of New York are still full of traffic and brightly lit.
Tommy got into the Mercedes-Benz and told Franklin the address, and then through the rear window, he watched the bustling night view outside.
He knew very well that today was just the first step, and there was still a long way to go to truly control the underground world of New York.
Although those gang leaders were convinced on the surface, who knew what abacus they were thinking?
However, he was not worried about it.
He has the ability to deal with potential threats.
He will beat anyone who dares to cause trouble.
There are two or three times, those people will learn lessons and will not make trouble again.
But no matter what later, with this meeting, those people should be able to be quiet for a few days during this period.
He also fulfilled his commitment to Michael Bloomberg.
At this moment, the system's prompt sound suddenly rang in his ear.
[Congratulations to the host for achieving the "boss" achievements in the series of underworld storms]
[Get reward points of 500 points]
【Current Points: 1300】
"It's really rare."
The completion of the new achievements made Tommy feel a little moved.
As his status grew higher and higher, he had already achieved almost the same achievements as he could unlock.
It is quite difficult to unlock a higher level upwards.
It was a real surprise to be able to unlock a brand new achievement today.
Moreover, with the newly obtained 500 points, his total points once again exceeds one thousand mark, and he can draw again.
But before the lottery starts, he checks out his current character panel.
【Name: Tommy Visedi】
[Character Card: Nobita Nobita (flying rope, magic gun technique, sleep)]
【Ability: Martial Arts Talent (Remnant Leopard), Super Endurance (City Superman), Super Defense (Vajra Indestructible), Super Resistance (Sacred Lord), Super Response Speed (Flash Star), Super Power (Mr. Super Powerful ), Bioforce field (Superman)]
【Props: "Indestructible" secret book (Assassin Wu Liuqi), teleportation gun (Rick and Morty), delicious crab castle ancestral secret recipe (SpongeBob), M500 revolver (Druby), silk bag (I Called MT), Sun Wheel Knife (Demon Slayer Blade)]
From all aspects, he is now very comprehensive.
There is nothing short of defense or attack.
The resistance is also very good.
If he really wants to say something is missing, he may be a little bit inferior in agility and does not have super speed.
In addition, he can't fly.
The latter is okay.
Although he can't fly, he can jump, which can barely make up for his shortcomings.
However, the former cannot be solved for the time being.
When he fights against the Speedy One, it is very likely that his brain will react and his body will not keep up with the embarrassing situation.
If he can, of course he hopes that the prize he won in this lottery will be one of these two, and it is best to get a character card directly and get these two super abilities at the same time.
But no one can say anything like probability, so we should wait patiently for the final result.
There was still some distance away from the destination, so Tommy simply clicked on the system, consumed 1,000 points, and started a new round of lottery draws.
In an instant, his points plummeted and fell back to the triple-digit mark again.
And the results of this draw soon appeared in front of him.
【Ability: Extreme Life】
【Source: Almighty Hero】
【Source: "Invincible Young Man"】
"It's still the auxiliary ability."
Tommy was not disappointed when he failed to get what he wanted.
After all, the result this time is pretty good. At least it is a useful ability, which is much better than those weird props.
Moreover, the importance of extreme survival is no worse than the previous two.
You can tell by listening to the name that extreme survival is related to survival ability.
After having the ultimate survival, Tommy has extremely low demand for food, water and sleep. With just a little oxygen reserve, she can maintain extremely long-term physiological activities, and therefore can survive in extreme environments such as space and deep sea. .
Overall, this ability is still very good, greatly enhancing his survivability.
At the very least, it gives him the ability to fight underwater and survive in space.
Although at this stage, extreme survival does not seem to be of much use, his pace will not be limited to the earth, and he will sooner or later enter the universe.
In addition, he has a teleportation gun that can travel to other universes different from the main world.
At that time, extreme survival may come in handy.
"Boss, we're here."
While thinking about it, the driver Franklin had already driven the car to the designated location.
Tommy withdrew his divergent thoughts and stepped out of the car.
What appeared before him was a luxurious lake view manor.
After the mansion near Central Park was destroyed, he did not repair it, but only compensated for a certain amount of money, so he changed his home and came to this manor.
Compared to the previous luxury apartment, this manor is wider.
The area alone covers an area of 80,000 square meters.
The manor building is Baroque style, with a construction area of about 10,000 square meters and a total of 125 rooms, large and small.
In the middle of the estate, there is a main building, which includes main venues such as the banquet hall, conference hall and Tommy's private residence.
The buildings around the main building are mostly entertainment or leisure facilities, including individual horse farms, artificial lakes, large swimming pools and other buildings.
Just looking at the overall exquisite design, you will know that the owner of the manor spent a lot of effort when building it, and the cost is quite expensive.
The price for sale is even more expensive.
When Tommy bought it, he spent almost more than $60 million.
Later, it was redecorated and renovated, and at least tens of millions of dollars were burned.
After counting inside and outside, I'm afraid that $100 million can't be the foundation.
Of course, he has now escaped his former poverty and is no longer as embarrassing as if he had first arrived in New York.
Not to mention the income of Crab Castle King, just talking about the rehabilitation medicine bath alone can earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
If he adds other industries, what he gets is even more astronomical, which can only be described as horror.
Therefore, he is now spending $100 million to buy a luxury estate, which is just a piece of cake and no big deal.
Another thing is that only a larger manor can make it easier for him to "hide the beauty in the golden house", right?
