Chapter 2879: Pulling the Rug from Under the Feet
Antonio is the underground emperor of New York, so when he summoned those gang leaders, these people responded immediately with joy.
Moreover, the script Ye Chen arranged for Antonio was also quite deceptive.
According to Ye Chen's requirements, he told the gang leaders that he had a very important business to discuss with them, and asked them to bring a trusted subordinate to the roast goose shop in Chinatown for a secret talk.
In addition, Ye Chen also asked him to tell those leaders that this business was particularly important, so he chose Chinatown to avoid suspicion, so Antonio specifically told them not to tell anyone except their trusted subordinates, otherwise they would be permanently kicked out of the Zano family's map.
These gang leaders all lived by following Antonio. Besides their own fighting, they also relied on Antonio's support. If they didn't have Antonio's support, their territory would definitely be snatched by other gangs under Antonio.
Therefore, these gangs were very loyal to Antonio, fearing that they would make Antonio dissatisfied and be kicked out.
To put it bluntly, these gangs loyal to the Zano family in New York are like countless evil dogs raised by the Zano family, and every evil dog has its own food bowl.
The size of the food bowl might be different, and the quantity and quality of the food inside might also be different, but because everyone belongs to the same owner, no dog dares to covet the food in other dogs' bowls.
But once one of the dogs is abandoned by the owner, other dogs will definitely snatch all the food in that dog's food bowl in the fastest time, and then tear that dog to pieces and share it.
Interestingly, if there are few such dogs, it is likely that they cannot be controlled, but the more such dogs are raised, the higher the loyalty of each dog.
Soon, Daniel, the boss of the Burning Angels who received the notice first, brought his trusted subordinate Mike and drove to Chinatown.
On the way, the two kept guessing the specific purpose of Antonio's summoning them this time. After all, Antonio only said that he had important business to discuss with them on the phone, but didn't reveal any specific information.
Daniel and Mike both felt that Antonio suddenly summoned them in Chinatown, probably because their progress in Chinatown had been very good recently, so they got Antonio's special attention.
After all, the Chinese Gang had lost completely this time, and the Burning Angels were sweeping through Chinatown and the entire Chinatown area, and the progress even far exceeded their own expectations.
In their own view, this was a big victory they had fought, and it was only natural for the commander to reward them after a victory.
So, the two were extremely excited along the way, constantly imagining the beautiful future of the Burning Angels in their hearts.
When they parked the car at the door of the roast goose shop, they saw several motorcycles of their subordinates at the first glance. Mike said in surprise: "Boss, these cars seem to be Will's."
Daniel was not surprised at all and said: "For the past few days, Will has been clearing out those Chinese Gang members and Chinese merchants who don't listen in Chinatown. Maybe it's because they did a good job, so the boss looked at them with new eyes."
Mike hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Boss, although Will's sister is your mistress, I still want to remind you to be careful of this guy Will. This guy has great ambition and will definitely not be willing to be a small leader under you. Maybe his ambition is even greater than your current achievements. This time he has won the boss's appreciation again, I'm afraid he will be even more like a fish in water. You must be careful!"
Mike's words made Daniel's expression tighten.
Daniel is not a smart person.
His greatest advantage is that he dares to kill and fight. He did gather a lot of little gangsters who were loyal to him on the street back then.
Born in the grassroots, he doesn't understand too many power tricks. He just thinks that as long as the brothers follow me well, I will definitely not treat everyone badly. If I have a bowl of rice to eat, the brothers will have a mouthful of soup.
But Mike is much smarter than him.
The year Mike graduated from high school, he was the only high-achieving student in the black neighborhood where he lived who was admitted to a proper public university in the same year.
In that neighborhood, the crime rate and divorce rate were almost breaking the sky. Many young people learned to shoot and take drugs before their hair grew. If there wasn't a gunfight in the neighborhood every day, everyone living here would suffer from insomnia because they weren't used to it.
In such an environment, Mike could be admitted to university, which shows that his brain is by no means comparable to ordinary people.
It's just that after Mike went to university, due to family poverty, the gap he felt in university was huge. He saw the extravagance of the rich, and also saw the fanaticism of female classmates for the rich. But he was alienated and excluded by his classmates because of no money and skin color.
From that time on, Mike went astray. He began to steal the property of other classmates on campus, mobile phones, computers, bicycles, as long as it was something that could be exchanged for money, he would not let it go.
So in his second year of university, he was expelled from school.
At the end of his rope, he simply joined the gang he met when he was selling stolen goods, which was the predecessor of the Burning Angels.
Relying on his own brain, Mike became the second-in-command of the Burning Angels step by step, deeply trusted by Daniel.
However, Mike had always been worried that his position as second-in-command was not stable enough, and he felt that his biggest threat was Will.
So, Mike took the opportunity to say a few bad words about Will, making Daniel more wary of Will.
But these two people didn't know at this moment that Will was already in danger, and their current situation would also undergo great changes.
Soon, the two walked into the roast goose shop.
On the first floor of the roast goose shop, Antonio, who had broken legs and lost two ears, was sitting upright behind the table facing the gate in the deepest part of the restaurant, wearing a wool hat.
When the two came in, they recognized Antonio at a glance, but didn't feel anything abnormal about Antonio. The only thing they couldn't understand was why he had to wear a wool hat, which looked out of place.
As soon as Daniel came in, he said very respectfully to Antonio: "Hello, Boss!"
Mike also said respectfully: "Hello, Boss!"
Antonio looked at the two with complex eyes and said: "Daniel, don't blame me after we get to Syria."
Daniel was confused and asked subconsciously: "Boss, what do you mean? Who is going to Syria? Are we going to Syria?"
Antonio sighed deeply. Ye Chen had just stated all his plans very frankly.
Tonight, he was going to use Antonio to summon all the leaders and second-in-commands of the organizations under his command one after another, then detain them all. Tomorrow morning, after Wan Pojun arrived, he would take away all the gang leaders, let the second-in-commands watch their bosses being taken away by Wan Pojun of Wanlong Palace, and then promote these second-in-commands to be the number one in place, and let them take over their gangs.
Ye Chen wanted to use this move to make all the gangs in New York his puppets in one night.
These surviving second-in-commands, the second-in-commands who were completely shocked, would definitely not dare to have any disobedience to Ye Chen in the future, considering that Ye Chen was backed by the powerful Wanlong Palace.
And the Zano family's decades of painstaking management would also be pulled out from under the feet by Ye Chen after this night.
Antonio, who had already resigned himself to his fate, could only sigh to Daniel at this time: "Daniel, not just us, but also the people in charge of other gangs. After they arrive one after another, everyone will go to Syria together and set off tomorrow morning."
Daniel was even more surprised and asked him: "Boss, we are a gang, not
Antonio sighed: "It's better to let Mr. Ye tell you the specifics."
"Mr. Ye? Which Mr. Ye?"
The two were confused, completely unable to understand what Antonio was trying to say.
At this moment, a man with East Asian features walked out of the kitchen. He looked at the two and said indifferently: "Starting from tomorrow, all gang leaders under the Zano family, including you Burning Angels, will be sent to Syria. The leader's position will automatically be taken over by the gang's second-in-command. At the same time, the new leader must submit 75% of the gang's monthly profits to the Chinese Gang. Whoever dares to disobey will also be sent to Syria until an obedient leader is selected!"
The two felt as if they had heard a huge joke, especially Daniel, who was even more dismissive.
In his view, the Chinese Gang was already his defeated opponent and was about to be completely driven out of Chinatown. Asking him to pay tribute to the Chinese Gang, and to take out 75% of the profits, was simply a fantasy.
Daniel subconsciously pulled out his pistol, pointed it at Ye Chen, and blurted out: "Where did this trash come from? You've got a big mouth! Could it be that you are also a member of the Chinese Gang?"
With extreme speed, Ye Chen casually pulled a chopstick from the chopstick box in front of Antonio and flicked his hand. The chopstick flew like a bullet and pierced directly into the side of Antonio's pistol.
With a 'shua' sound, Antonio only felt his wrist go numb. He looked down and saw that the pistol had disappeared. Immediately afterward, he heard a 'dong' sound from the wall behind him. He turned his head and was almost scared to death!
His beloved Beretta pistol had actually been pierced through by the chopstick from the side and nailed directly to the wall!
He looked at Ye Chen in terror, unable to understand how a human could use a bamboo chopstick to pierce through a steel pistol! Moreover, the slide of the pistol and the barrel inside were made of high-strength steel; even a bullet couldn't pierce it, let alone a chopstick!
In an instant, Daniel's legs went weak, and he subconsciously wanted to turn and flee.
But at this moment, two men with East Asian features walked in from the door. After entering, each pulled out a pistol and held it directly against the back of the two men's heads.
These two were Qiangzai and Ni Dawei, who had been lying in ambush outside.
Immediately afterward, the two tied up Daniel and Mike and took them directly to the second floor.
And at this time, Will Johnson and the other four had already been tied up like rice dumplings and thrown on the second floor.
Before Daniel could figure out what had happened, he was tightly bound with hemp rope by Qiangzai and Ni Dawei, and a dirty rag smelling of rancid oil was stuffed into his mouth.
Qiangzai kicked him to Will's side, took an electric kettle full of water, and while pressing the boil button, said coldly: "I warn you, other gang members will be coming one after another soon. None of you are allowed to make any sound, otherwise, when this kettle of water boils, I will pour it all into his mouth!"
