Chapter 166: Fifty-Fifth Intelligence

Breeze Dance Hall, second-floor cafe.

Lu Mi walked to Baron Brignier's opposite quite casually and sat down.

He not only didn't show a submissive and humble attitude, but even lacked polite respect, as if both sides were on the same level.

This made Lu Yi Si behind Baron Brignier shake his head secretly.

He had seen too many similar people, but the final outcome was either being sent to the police headquarters by the Savar Party, or being seriously injured in a fire fight, losing ability, having to wag his tail like a dog to exchange for the gang's support, and some even died for various reasons, being thrown into the depths of the underground world or packed into a wooden barrel filled with stones and sunk to the bottom of the Sailunzuo River.

"Good evening, Baron." Lu Mi greeted with a smile.

There was not a trace of anger on Baron Brignier's face. He smoked a peach-wood-colored pipe and chatted casually:

"Where did you go this afternoon?"

"Underground." Lu Mi, like that corpse that drank "Prophecy Potion", only answered the questions asked by the other party and did not make any extensions.

If "Little Bitch" Yu Jianna and "Red Boots" Forsyth didn't hide the fact that he killed the pervert and saved the former, then his answer now was a symbol of being frank enough.

Baron Brignier was stunned for a second, didn't pursue the question, and rubbed the peach-wood-colored pipe in his hand:

"I have something for you to do."

Without waiting for Lu Mi to ask, he explained with a smile:

"I think highly of you, and believe that you can become a very important member of our Savar Party and undertake sufficiently critical affairs.

"But just my high regard is not enough, you must show strength that makes the vast majority of people admire, and make contributions that they all recognize."

The carrot tied in front of the donkey? Lu Mi sneered in his heart.

He deliberately narrowed his eyes on the surface:

"What thing?"

Baron Brignier put down the peach-wood-colored pipe, picked up the coffee and took a sip, and said in a relaxed tone:

"Attack any important member of the Poison Sting Gang, preferably seriously injured, killing on the spot is also fine."

Lu Mi laughed:

"Two days ago you told me to be patient and not to make things big, triggering a comprehensive conflict between the Poison Sting Gang and us.

"Now you are not worried about such things happening, not worried about being stared at by the police headquarters?"

Although he originally planned to wait for "Hammer" Aite of the Poison Sting Gang, he couldn't be treated as a fool by Baron Brignier.

Baron Brignier nodded with satisfaction:

"You are much smarter than those around me.

"I have been observing the Poison Sting Gang's reaction for the past two days, and found that they really don't have the idea of retaliating against you, at least not for the time being.

"What does this indicate?"

"Indicates that they are very afraid of our Savar Party." Lu Mi joked.

This was really a joke. If the Poison Sting Gang was afraid of the Savar Party, they wouldn't have developed at all, becoming the second largest gang in the Honest Market District.

Baron Brignier shook his head:

"In the past, they would inevitably retaliate equally, or make our Savar Party pay a greater price, and not just pay medical expenses.

"Also, after Ma Ge died, they only made a big fuss on the surface, but didn't actually do anything too excessive that would attract strong police strikes, more like wanting to create chaos to find out the real assassin.

"Continuous abnormalities make me believe that the Poison Sting Gang is preparing to do a very, very big thing, so they are so forbearing and so restrained.

"I am not sure if the thing they want to do will affect our Savar Party, but we must not sit here and wait for the answer."

Still have a brain... Lu Mi barely praised Baron Brignier in his heart.

He asked with a smile:

"You want me to kill their important member, and then observe their reaction?

"If they can still forbear, then the problem is very serious, and we must actively provoke a comprehensive conflict to force them to expose the problem?"

Baron Brignier laughed:

"I like chatting with smart people.

"How about it, do you want to take over this matter?"

Although he used an inquiring tone, his posture, eyes, and actions all indicated that this was an order.

If the order was not followed, the Savar Party would no longer provide protection.

Lu Mi laughed:

"I need intelligence on all important members of the Poison Sting Gang, including names, looks, abilities, characteristics, whether there are immediate family members and wives..."

This made Lu Yi Si behind Baron Brignier surprised and stunned.

Why ask about the family situation of the Poison Sting Gang leaders, is he trying to use them?

In Trier, major gangs have an unspoken rule that as long as it's not a special situation, everyone is willing to follow, which is not to target each other's family members who haven't joined the gang.

This is because most people have parents, wives, and children. If they really kill without bottom line, none of them can escape, and a situation of everyone being in danger will appear.

The second is that low-level gang members have no value in dealing with their family members, and when they reach the status of Baron Brignier, the family situation is a secret, few people know, and they are not in the Honest Market District.

The third is that people who can have a certain status in the gang can basically be called ruthless, and using family members to threaten them will not have any effect, only completely angering them.

The fourth is that if a massacre case really appears, it will inevitably make the news, anger the high-level of the police headquarters, and attract strong strikes.

Therefore, only in the process of destroying a certain force, in order not to leave seeds of hatred, and in order to deter other gangs, will they deal with the family members of the enemy leaders.

What is this Xia Er trying to do by asking about the immediate family members and wives of the important members of the Poison Sting Gang as soon as he comes up?

Baron Brignier stared at Lu Mi for a few seconds, and slowly showed a smile:

"The boss of the Poison Sting Gang is called Luo Jie, nickname 'Black Scorpion', living at 126 Market Avenue. I don't know if he has

"He masters some evil spells and possesses magical abilities. Even I wouldn't dare to face him."

Baron Brignard used this to tell Lu Mian that "Black Scorpion" Luo Jie is very strong and it's best not to target him, otherwise death would be the only outcome.

Evil spells... A Beyonder of the spell-casting type? Judging by how Luo Jie keeps Margot in check, he is at least Sequence 7, and he might even have magical artifacts or Beyonder weapons... If a Beyonder of this type doesn't have a strong body and lacks special life-saving abilities, then one can use traps, close-range assassinations, and other methods to target him. If his body is also not weak, his melee combat is strong, or he has Lyra's paper figurine substitute technique, I have almost no hope of winning, unless I use "Luck Manipulation" to change his luck in advance and make him unlucky enough... Lu Mian's thoughts flashed like lightning and quickly disappeared.

He nodded and said:

"What about the others?"

Baron Brignard puffed on his pipe and said unhurriedly:

"The Poison Sting gang originally had four very powerful and important members. In the Market District, they were only slightly weaker than us, but after Margot was killed by you, Wilson, who took his place, is very weak, so their strength has dropped quite a bit.

"'Black Scorpion' Luo Jie's deputy is 'Baldy' Harman. It was originally just him and Luo Jie who came to the Market District, opened the Mill Dance Hall, and slowly gathered a group of people before establishing the Poison Sting gang.

"He is a very good fighter, extremely good. In this regard, he is no weaker than Margot. At the same time, he has displayed some rather strange abilities. For example, sometimes he can withstand others' blade slashes and only suffer very minor injuries. For example, he can suddenly become berserk, as if he had taken some kind of drug. For example, he can make others feel fear. Hmm, he also has a knife coated with deadly poison.

"He is very cruel. He has no family and no mistress, but he is very interested in women and often messes around with the streetwalkers managed by the Poison Sting gang.

"He usually lives in 'Black Scorpion' Luo Jie's house. When looking for women, he will find any relatively clean inn or hotel in the Market District."

Lu Mian listened quietly and gradually developed an idea:

"Against 'Baldy' Harman, there is a trap with a very good effect.

"No matter what method Harman uses to obtain his powerful defense, to the point where he only suffers minor injuries after being slashed by a blade, it indicates that he is very likely to engage in trading injuries for victory and will be relatively dependent on this strength.

"In that case, I can fully give him this opportunity. It's just that, when the time comes, the thing that makes him suffer only minor injuries will be 'Fallen Mercury'.

"Minor injuries also bleed!"

Baron Brignard continued:

"The one who manages most of the Poison Sting gang's dance girls is 'Short Candlestick' Castina. She is a Feynapotter who was abducted to Trier to be a dance girl and later became 'Black Scorpion' Luo Jie's mistress.

"'Short Candlestick' was her nickname when she was a dance girl, describing her as being relatively short."

Lu Mian recalled the appearance of Short Candlestick and roughly grasped Castina's physical features.

"Castina rarely takes action herself, but the few times she did, she displayed strong combat skills. When facing disobedient dance girls, she is cold and cruel, perhaps having forgotten her own past suffering." Baron Brignard commented with gentlemanly politeness, "She lives in that apartment at 19 Nightingale Street. We don't know which floor or which room specifically, but she also often goes to 'Black Scorpion' Luo Jie's house."

What right do you have to say that? Why don't we talk about the one whose father was forced to death by debt and who became a singer at the Breeze Dance Hall herself? Lu Mian never believed that gangsters had true conscience.

Even if they appear righteous, loyal, and caring toward friends, those are just a few wildflowers adorning a puddle of mud. Their essence must be sought from victims like those dance girls, those streetwalkers, those ordinary people persecuted by usury, and those peddlers blackmailed by them.

Brignard introduced the last Poison Sting gang leader:

"'Hammer' Ait was originally one of our Savard gang members. He had guts, brains, and a body. I also thought highly of him and intended to recommend him to the boss, but he betrayed us, joined the Poison Sting gang, and quickly obtained Beyonder abilities.

"I suspect he consumed a potion from the 'Warrior' pathway and is already Sequence 8. This can be inferred from his height, which has grown by a large margin, approaching 1.9 meters, and his performance during conflicts.

"'Hammer' describes his fists being as hard and powerful as a hammer. He usually fights bare-handed, but he is also very good with pistols and short knives.

"His parents have been dead for several years. He has no brothers, sisters, wife, or children. He lives at 25 Slate Street next to the Honest Man Market, where there are a large number of Poison Sting gang members."

"Fighter"? Will Beyonder characteristics precipitate after death? Lu Mian nodded and said to Baron Brignard:

"I still need their general patterns of movement. Also, give me a pistol, enough bullets, and a weapon I can carry with me—a short knife, short sword, triangular spike, or axe will do."

"No problem. I'll have Louis send them to you tomorrow morning." Baron Brignard nodded with satisfaction.

After watching Charles walk out of the cafe, Louis lowered his voice and said:

"Baron, do you really want to let him deal with those Poison Sting gang leaders?"

Baron Brignard laughed:

"Didn't you hear my explanation just now? In this matter, I didn't lie to him.

"It's just that those Poison Sting gang leaders are not easy to deal with, and now that they are on guard, whether he wins with difficulty and needs our treatment and protection afterward, or encounters failure and nearly dies only to be saved by us, it can break his arrogance and make him obedient."
