Had some devil taken control of them?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, it was a devil called greed—armed with a gun, unafraid in heart; when you demand a gang to stand down with a fully loaded heavy machine gun, you’ll find the job isn’t so bad, and when you’re rewarded handsomely afterward, you’ll think it’s the best job in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Falcone still had to send his Black Gloves to incite rival gangs against each other, provoking them into gunfights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But later, once tensions flared, the “Hyenas” and the “Captain” joined forces to ambush the “Cut-Off Hands” two streets away; the “Locomotive” on the eastern edge swiftly joined the battle; three of the four bosses along Elizabeth Street wanted to lend support; Maroni, who had just digested the corpses of the Red Crows, happened to be in the chaos and enjoyed a satisfying fight; the entire East District became a boiling mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gang clashes already claimed many lives, and as the fighting raged, police stormed the battlefield with heavy machine guns and rocket launchers—the gangsters were stunned: Who the hell are the criminals here? Who the hell are the police? Who uses rocket launchers to enforce the law?!\u003C\u002Fp>",735,"2026-06-20T16:39:12.484Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e85c8cda20cfc7ff6f5290a0d65ef1c2a7c9cafbbda1d2df41ac48990859a6f0","my-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-chapter-72","my-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-chapter-70",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-cover.jpg"]
