Chapter 2882

Wan Pojun's words directly scared the underworld figures, who were still full of anger just a moment ago, into huddling together and shivering violently.

This scene was like emperor penguins huddling together for warmth and shivering in the biting cold wind of the Antarctic in winter.

Seeing them look like they had peed their pants, Ye Chen found it secretly funny.

These thugs who claimed to fear nothing also had a day when they were scared into being like stray dogs.

The best way to deal with such black-evil forces in the United States is to fight fire with fire.

If he draws a knife to hack, you have to pull a gun to shoot; if he pulls a gun to shoot, you have to kill his whole family.

Moreover, never talk about morality with them.

Because the vast majority of people in this line of work don't talk about morality. Morality is a stricter code of conduct than the law. All illegal things violate morality, but not all things that violate morality are necessarily illegal.

Every cent these thugs earn is obtained by violating the law. They don't even take the law seriously, so how could they take morality to heart?

Therefore, the best way to deal with such people is to be even more ruthless than them.

And Ye Chen also knew that for these gang members, his own deterrent power was far from enough.

If he wanted to make them afraid from the bottom of their hearts, he had to first establish enough fear in their hearts. But to establish enough fear, he had to first make them fully realize his strength and his determination to destroy them.

The upfront cost of doing such things was too high.

Going to such great lengths just to subdue a bunch of little thugs in New York was really not worth the loss.

Therefore, Ye Chen called Wan Pojun over to play the bad cop for these people, which directly solved the problem in one step.

After all, when it comes to having many brothers, who can compare to the Cataclysmic Front? When it comes to killing, these thugs are even less of an opponent.

Moreover, they are not on equal footing with the Cataclysmic Front. The Cataclysmic Front knows their identities, and if they want to, they can find them at any time and kill their entire families. It doesn't matter where they hide.

But conversely, even if they know the Cataclysmic Front's base is in Syria, so what? They can't go there to hack Wan Pojun, can they?

It is precisely because of this reason that after Wan Pojun said those threatening words, these people were all scared out of their wits.

But Ye Chen didn't intend to let them off so easily. He wanted to establish absolute authority in their hearts.

So, he surveyed the room and said to Wan Pojun: "Pojun, later you record all the identity information of these people, and then find out their family relationships as quickly as possible. Once they don't listen, don't let go of anyone related to them."

Wan Pojun nodded immediately and said: "Understood, Mr. Ye!"

Ye Chen pointed to Qiangzai on the side and said to Wan Pojun: "Also, from now on, if Qiangzai has an accident, whether it's a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, you kill all these people for me, not leaving a single one!"

Hearing this, the crowd couldn't hold it anymore, and their noses kept making humming sounds, seemingly having great opposition to this decision.

Seeing this, Ye Chen said to Wan Pojun: "Since we are discussing this together, we can't stop them from speaking. Come, pull the things out of their mouths and let's hear what opinions they have."

Wan Pojun nodded and immediately stepped forward with his men to take out everything stuffed in their mouths.

At this time, a gang boss blurted out tremblingly: "This... this is unfair! If we didn't kill him, and he had an accident himself, why should you kill us too?!"

When others heard someone speak their minds, they also nodded in agreement, shouting one after another: "Yes! This is unfair!"

Ye Chen smiled and asked: "What? Did I hear wrong? So, the New York underworld is actually a place that talks about fairness?"

Seeing that his words were echoed by everyone, the man gathered his courage and said: "You let us go to Syria, let us hand over 75% of our profits to the Chinese Gang, we can all do that. But you can't forcibly bind other people's lives to ours! If we cooperate actively, and in the end, because of his own reasons, we have to be buried with him, wouldn't that be too unfair to us?"

Ye Chen nodded: "You want to talk about fairness, right?"

The other party nodded heavily: "Yes! I want fairness!"

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Let me confirm again, are you sure you don't accept my proposal, but want fairness?"

The man said without hesitation: "I'm sure!"

Ye Chen laughed: "Okay, then let's talk about fairness. Tell me your name first, and which gang you're from?"

The man said: "My name is Todd, Todd Gilbert, I'm the person in charge of the Desperados..."

Ye Chen laughed: "Desperados... good name."

After finishing, he said to Wan Pojun: "Pojun, since this Todd Gilbert likes fairness, then let's do this. You take him to Syria first, and then send someone to find out all his background for me. I want to know if he has done anything unfair to others in his life. Even if he just relied on being the boss of the Desperados to not pay for parking, buy watermelons, or eat at restaurants without paying, you have to find out clearly. Count all the big and small things. As long as there are more than ten, dig a hole in Syria and bury him alive."

Todd Gilbert was instantly terrified to the extreme. He blurted out: "This... this is too unfai..."

Before he could finish the word "fairness," he swallowed it back.

He knew that if he opened his mouth to say it was unfair now, it would really be a bit too unfair...

So he could only say dejectedly: "Sir, if the fairness you're talking about is like this, then I give up..."

Ye Chen countered: "What? Don't you want fairness? If you ask me for fairness, then I also want to ask you for fairness on behalf of those who have been treated unfairly by you. Why are you giving up?"

After saying this, Ye Chen added to Wan Pojun: "Oh, by the way, Pojun, if you find out that this person has harmed innocent family members when dealing with enemies and competitors, then just treat him the way he treated others. If he killed someone's wife, we'll kill his; if he killed someone's son, we'll kill his son too. After all, this is what he requested, so we have to be absolutely fair."

Wan Pojun immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Ye, I will definitely find out clearly!"

Hearing this, Todd Gilbert's face turned deathly pale, and the muscles in his face and limbs were visibly twitching violently.

Among the "emperor penguins" huddling for warmth, one person blurted out: "Sir, this son of a bitch kidnapped my friend's son years ago to grab his goods. My friend gave him the goods, but this bastard killed my friend and his son! Many people here know about this!"

Ye Chen nodded and praised: "You did well. Are you the boss or the second-in-command of your gang?"

The man hurriedly said: "I'm the second-in-command..."

Ye Chen said to Qiangzai beside him: "Qiangzai, remember, after this matter is verified, for the 75% of their gang, you can wipe out the fraction and only collect 70% from him."

Qiangzai hurriedly said: "Okay, Mr. Ye, I've noted it down!"

The man was instantly overjoyed. A 5% reduction in one sentence, corresponding to the gang's monthly income of over a million US dollars, was not a small amount.

At this time, someone in the crowd spoke up again: "Sir, I want to report Gilbert! Ten years ago, in order to force an Algerian prostitute to earn money for him, he personally killed one of the prostitute's two children! That child was only five years old at the time!"

Ye Chen nodded: "Good, after verification, I'll give you a 4% reduction!"

Someone else in the crowd said: "I also want to report! Last year, in order to grab the business of a nightclub, Gilbert took people to gang-rape the nightclub owner's wife!"

Ye Chen said: "Good, after verification, I'll give you a 3% reduction!"

Others realized that the discount was getting smaller and smaller, and for a while, everyone wanted to report. Ye Chen, however, gestured for everyone to be quiet, turned to look at the deathly pale Todd Gilbert: "Is what they said true?"

Todd Gilbert was already scared out of his wits. He subconsciously cried and said: "I was wrong, sir, I was really wrong! I don't want any fairness, whatever you say is what it is... My son just reached adulthood... Please be magnanimous and let him go..."

Ye Chen smacked his lips and said in a difficult tone: "You make it very difficult for me. After all, I gave you my proposal, and you weren't willing to accept it. You were the one who asked for fairness. You can't go back on your word in front of so many people, can you?"

Todd Gilbert slapped himself seven or eight times hard, crying and saying: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault! From now on, whatever you say, I will unconditionally accept!"

Ye Chen waved his hand: "You said you wanted fairness, and I made an exception to give you fairness, but you said you didn't want it again. Not only are you going back on your word, but you're also wasting my time and energy. If these people all learn from you, each proposing a plan they want, and then each waiting for me to give another plan before going back on their word like you, then how am I supposed to lead this team? Where would I have so much time to waste on you?"

Todd Gilbert knelt on the ground trembling. Although his hands were tied behind his back, he still desperately bowed his head, begging bitterly: "I really know I was wrong... Please, seeing that I'm a first-time offender, forgive me this once..."

Ye Chen waved his hand: "Impossible. I'll give you two choices. The first is as you said, we'll take the fairness route. But I don't know if your family members are enough. After all, you've done many evil deeds. If we really investigate carefully, I don't know how many lives will have to be paid. So, I'll give you one more choice. If you apologize with death today, after you die, I can let bygones be bygones regarding what you've done."
