Chapter 323: Invited People and Uninvited People

The motorcade stopped slowly, and the eyes of some people immediately noticed here. Erwen got out of the car first, followed by Yisen, and then the others.

Quite a few people came in total, including Ma Duoer and these "instructors" who all came.

Everyone's clothes were bulging. No need to show it, people knew what was inside.

After confirming there was no danger, Lanse got out of the car. Alberto and another person greeted them.

"This is Mulle, he is Baoluo's cousin." Alberto didn't have more introductions, but just relying on the special relationship of "Baoluo's cousin" was enough for Lanse to know his status in the Pasiletuo family.

Then he introduced Lanse to Mulle, "You should know him." He didn't say the name directly, seeming to want to see if Mulle had any understanding of Lanse.

The result didn't have any unexpected things. Mulle clearly knew Lanse, "You actually want to use such a simple question to test me?"

He said and stopped looking at Alberto, but enthusiastically shook hands with Lanse, "Lanse, very happy to be able to know you. I actually have always heard rumors about you. You are the most special young person in New Jincheng these years!"

Mulle sighed sincerely. Being able to let Baoluo take the initiative to make concessions, although it was said to be for Duofu, this was still a thing that was very difficult to appear.

Only if Baoluo thought Lanse had reached a certain height would he have such a choice.

If it were another small gang, Baoluo would certainly not even explain, directly letting people flatten this small gang.

This actually also reflected a fact from the side: with the two unifications of the Imperial District, the five major families also began to attach importance to Lanse and those people of his!

For older people, witnessing the birth of such a "new myth" would have a trance-like feeling.

It was like... they saw their former selves in Lanse, or their elders!

They knew better than anyone how difficult it was to fight out a piece of territory belonging to themselves in the underground world of New Jincheng!

He had always wanted to see Lanse with his own eyes. Before this happened, he had an imagination, but when he really saw Lanse, he discovered that Lanse was even more excellent and outstanding than he imagined.

The imagined picture didn't shatter, but instead became more three-dimensional!

Lanse also held his hand tightly, "Very honored that Mr. Baoluo and you could invite me to participate in this special meeting. I am also very happy to know you, Mr. Mulle."

"This is not a place to talk, please come with me!" He said and let go of his hand, inviting Lanse to enter the Dingsheng Hotel.

Some gang members stood in the hotel lobby, and their eyes stayed on Lanse's group, with a look of scrutiny.

Some of them had already guessed Lanse's identity. After all, at this age, the person who could let Mulle take the initiative to greet him was only a handful of people in the entire New Jincheng.

If you remove the young masters of the Bay Area, and lock the scope in this underworld piece, then the answer is ready to come out.

Maybe they needed to guess before, because besides Lanse, there was also Poli.

But with Poli's death, only Lanse remained in the entire New Jincheng.

Their gazes were strange.

Some people's gazes were full of appreciation, some were a bit surprised, and some eyes were full of distrust and dissatisfaction, each with their own performance.

For these ordinary or unfriendly gazes, Lanse didn't care. Erwen might be a bit affected, slightly frowning and welcoming those gazes that clearly didn't carry kindness.

After the five entered the elevator, Lanse said, "You don't need to care about those people's gazes and their thoughts, just like a lion would never consider what the prey in its mouth thinks."

"No matter what their gazes are like, they don't change a fact."

Lanse tidied up his attire to ensure he wouldn't be rude later. The mirrored elevator car reflected his appearance.

He slightly raised his chin, smoothed out a tiny wrinkle on his clothes, and looked at Erwen through the shadow reflected by the mirror of the elevator door, "Food will only affect the taste, not the mood!"

After Mulle heard it, he felt it was quite tasteful, "A very special statement, Lanse. I have never heard anyone say it like this. Did you invent it?"

Lanse smiled and slightly retracted his chin, which made him look a bit more humble, "If no one else has said it, then it's me."

"It's hard to imagine that a young person like you has such a realm of thought. What did you do before?" This sentence made Mulle think more and more about it, and he developed some curiosity about Lanse's previous work.

Lanse smiled and said, "An ordinary person, maybe I am better at thinking?"

"When I imagine myself as a lion on the grassland, and those people who look at me are just my prey, I don't feel that their gazes have anything special."

"They are just remembering my appearance. Next time they meet me, they will hide far away, because they know that if they don't run, they will become food."

With a "ding," the elevator door opened, and Lanse's words also stopped.

Under Mulle's active guidance, the five came out of the elevator car one after another.

It was clearly a bit livelier here. There were quite a few people in the lobby, some adults, and some young people.

They were clearly divided into different groups, all looking at and scrutinizing each other.

It was rare to see such a scene, gathering so many gang leaders together. Even at the peak of the five major families, it was probably very difficult to see.

Baoluo was chatting with an old man with white hair. When the sound of the elevator arriving at the floor rang, he looked toward this side and saw Lanse.

He apologized to the person beside him and walked over quickly. He reached out his hand two steps away. Lanse welcomed him one step, and the two hands held together.

"Thank you for being able to come, Lanse!" Baoluo breathed a sigh of relief, seeming to be a little relaxed.

Lanse held his hand and shook it twice, "Is the situation very bad now?"

Baoluo nodded, "I will talk about this later. We are still missing one person. He should be here soon."

"In short, very grateful you could come!"

Lanse heard the heaviness in his tone and couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen?"

Baoluo didn't know how to explain. He organized his train of thought, "You know, those people in the Kasiya family, and the people in the Keda family, have already betrayed us."

"And some lower-level gangs have also turned to their side. I didn't expect this matter to happen so quickly!"

"We have reached the time when we must be united!"

Just like the Wolf Gang dealing with those small street families and small gangs in the Port District, he wouldn't actively infringe on the interests of these people, and would provide alcohol and safety, swallowing them in.

It looked like those small gangs still maintained independence, but as the time they were "swallowed" continued to increase, they would also gradually start to get used to this superior-subordinate relationship, and eventually would completely obey them.

Quite a few small gangs started to change their positions, joining the mayor's camp. They didn't have to worry about the targeting of the Hazardous Materials Management Bureau and could do private wine business at will.

As long as it wasn't too excessive, the Hazardous Materials Management Bureau wouldn't deal with them. In this period when wine was more expensive than gold, stable money-making was what gangs pursued!

For these small families and small gangs that had just emerged, they didn't have much awe for the five major families and some gangs that already had great fame.

These young people were just like the "spirit of questioning" spread in society now. They were even full of distrust and questioning for the five major families, and even had the desire to challenge!

The mayor is using the current chaos to re-establish a new order. Once the new order is established, just like the arrival of every new era, everything old will be thrown heavily on the ground, smashed to pieces, including the five major families!

Baoluo and their pressure had been very great recently, because a big thing happened, which made him have to decide to do something, instead of sitting and waiting for death.

It was just that it wasn't the time to talk now, so Baoluo didn't tell Lanse, and after saying a few words to him, he went to entertain others.

After Baoluo left, Lanse didn't intend to socialize with others. He basically hadn't had contact with other gangs here, and everyone kept a distance from each other.

He found a place, got some food, and while eating, chatted with Erwen, chatting about those gangs around.

By 9:20, when the people at the scene couldn't sit still, Baoluo returned here with a dark face.

"The people of the Daoge family are not coming. Tonight, it's just these people."

He said and let people open a side hall next to the lobby. Inside was a huge circular conference table. With the influx of people, the table was soon full of people.

Lanse found a place that wasn't adjacent to others and sat down. Baoluo was naturally sitting in the first seat, and sitting beside him were some middle-aged people and even old people.

Lanse didn't understand any of them. Fortunately, Alberto was sitting beside him, introducing the origins of these people to him.

"That white-haired one is Feijia'er's father, old Ji'en, and beside him are his two sons."

"Sitting on Baoluo's right is Salifu, the host of the Tita family currently. I don't like him very much."

Alberto knew most of the people here. Before he opened his own company and had his own "career," he followed Baoluo for quite a long period of time.

This is also a custom and habit of the Sumuli people.

They will confirm that their juniors have the ability to work independently before letting them leave themselves to manage their own careers.

Of course, a considerable part of the income from Lezhu will still be handed over to the family, which is also the return for the family taking care of Alberto.

After everyone sat down, Baoluo talked to the two people beside him for a few words, and then said loudly, "Before talking about our affairs, I must tell you one thing: Councilor Wei De is about to leave New Jincheng."

The people around suddenly made exclamations, clearly all looking unbelievable.

Lanse didn't have many opportunities and times to contact the upper class here. He had only heard of some deeds of the Wei De family, but didn't have a direct understanding of Councilor Wei De and his influence.

Unlike the true local people here, some of them had slight changes in their expressions.

Baoluo pressed his hands on the table in front of him, "Councilor Wei De was transferred to Wusimier State to serve as mayor. You should have heard of that place, in the west."

Not just the west, it's very west, separated from Likalai State by a federation!

Someone couldn't help but ask loudly, "How did they persuade Mr. Wei De?"

"I can't believe these are all true!"

Baoluo's expression was slightly strange, with a crying and laughing expression, "He will serve as mayor and will receive a nomination for governor."

One sentence made everyone who held a skeptical attitude toward this matter quiet down.

Governor nomination.

Having a nomination doesn't necessarily mean becoming governor, but in this era, without a nomination, it is absolutely impossible to become governor!

And Wusimier State is also the territory of the Social Party. Strictly speaking, Councilor Wei De's real opponent is only one or two other governor nomination candidates of the Social Party.

He didn't go and get nominated directly. He would serve as mayor for six years first, and then get nominated.

In other words, they gave him time to work hard and prepare.

Wusimier State is not a particularly economically developed region, which is also one of the reasons why they are willing to accept Councilor Wei De. They hope that Councilor Wei De can bring some advanced concepts and development models of New Jincheng over to help Wusimier State achieve a breakthrough in economic growth!

If it was just the position of mayor, Councilor Wei De would very likely not leave, even if this would offend the big figures in the state.

Going to a foreign place to be a mayor is far inferior to continuing to be his local emperor in New Jincheng.

But in order to kick him away, the mayor spent a lot of money this time and gave him a governor nomination!

You know, Xideni himself hasn't obtained the qualification for the Likalai State governor candidate nomination until now, and even the nomination for the Speaker of the House of Representatives was obtained after he spent a lot of effort.

Although the economically developed Likalai State and a backward place like Wusimier cannot be mentioned in the same breath, the governor is ultimately the governor. In this period, the governor can even be said to be the king of this land!

Facing such temptation, Councilor Wei De, who had always claimed he wouldn't leave New Jincheng, was finally moved!

What if he succeeded?

What if he succeeded? Wusimier, this region far from the core area of the federation, would become his new "private land."

He had confidence that in a few years, he would manage Wusimier into another even larger New Jincheng!

Maybe it wouldn't be as wealthy as here, but it would absolutely be Wusimier under his control, his kingdom!

This matter has risks, because he still needs to compete to know the result, but risks are accompanied by opportunities. If there were no such risks, he couldn't have such an opportunity to stabilize the position of governor!

So he wouldn't refuse, and couldn't refuse, even if he knew this was the mayor's trick to transfer him away from here, but he still ate it!

As long as he could become governor, he would perform better!

Councilor Wei De ate the sugar-coated bullet from the mayor, patted his butt and prepared to leave, but left all the trouble to the people in New Jincheng who continued to confront the mayor.

He had quite a few connections in Likalai State, which could play a very important role when confronting the mayor.

During this period, he and Councilor William seemed to have done nothing, but in fact, they had already used their relationships to put pressure on the mayor through the state government, telling him not to disturb the economic development of New Jincheng for "selfish interests"!

There were also people within the Social Party who called him, telling him "you should let go after getting certain benefits, excessive greed won't have any good results!"

With these two people, at the political level, they could at least check and balance each other, equal, plus now the police department was still under the control of the Bay Area, everyone could only say that their strength was equal.

So during this period, the main conflicts in New Jincheng broke out in the underground world, gang wars and annexations, rather than happening in the light.

But now, two of the five major families had been disintegrated, and Councilor Wei De was about to run away. The balance had completely lost its balance!

This was the most terrifying thing!

Perhaps those small gangs couldn't feel this feeling of being unable to breathe, but the three major families standing at a higher place had already felt the breath of doomsday!

Looking at the expressions of some people who still retained "what the hell are you talking about" and "what does this have to do with me," Baoluo explained, "Once Councilor Wei De leaves, Councilor William may not be able to confront the mayor's pressure."

"In other words, once Councilor William can't hold the pressure, the position of the Bay Area will change."

"Gentlemen, the position of the Bay Area represents the will of New Jincheng. Once they also turn to the mayor, we can only face the end of death."

The conference room was quiet. After a long while, someone asked, "Can we also turn to the mayor?"

Another person suddenly stood up, slapping the table. He pointed at the person who spoke before and shouted loudly, "What the hell are you talking about?"

"What the hell am I saying, can we also turn to the mayor?" That person also stood up, slapping the table, not willing to be outdone. Everyone was a gang leader, nothing more than some big and some small. Who was afraid of whom before fighting?

Seeing that it was about to be chaotic, Baoluo slapped the table heavily in annoyance, "Sit back!"

Although the five major families now showed signs of decline, their former prestige was still there.

The two sat back, staring at each other unconvinced. Baoluo looked at them, "We are discussing, we are negotiating, I allow you to have various ideas."

"You all know that I actually invited more people, but these people didn't come, including the Daoge family in the Bay Area."

"It's not that they have things they can't come, but they have already turned to the mayor's side!"

"Just now you said can we also turn to the mayor?" He pointed at the person who spoke before.

That person felt a bit numb being pointed at by Baoluo. He dared to blow his beard and stare at others, but toward Baoluo, he still didn't dare to do so.

He could only squeeze out some smiles, barely finding a reason, "I... I was just making an analogy."

Baoluo shook his head slightly, "Actually, you can try it."

"I tell you the truth, all those who didn't come were invited by them to join them."

"And you people, including me, Ji'en, and the Tita family, are all not on the invitation list."

"Do you know why?"

His face showed something that made people feel uncomfortable, "Because he needs to use our blood to wipe away the old rules!"

"And then, stained with our blood, write down the new rules that belong to him!" ===== CHAPTER 324 =====
