371. Chapter 367: Resolution and Countdown

Wolf's death brought an even greater impact to the Professor!

Because in these few years, he had almost always been with Wolf, rather than with his family.

He loved his family, but at this time, Wolf had also become his family, and a family who was with him day and night.

So the mental impact brought by Wolf's death was far greater than the death of family members he hadn't seen for years.

His dreams, future, and everything he fought for, at this moment, accompanied by a gunshot, all ended.

His eyes were full of pain. He slowly turned his head to look at Lansi, suddenly feeling a bit desolate. A breath was exhaled heavily, and he even felt a bit relieved.

"You won," he said.

Lansi shook his head, "There are no winners in this game, except for those gentlemen sitting at the table."

"I don't think you have anything you want to say to me either."

"Professor, good night."

The muzzle was aimed at the Professor. The Professor was also prepared for death, but even though he was prepared, his breathing still uncontrollably became rapid at this moment.

He even had an impulse to surrender to Lansi to exchange for a chance to live!

But whenever his instinct wanted to force him to do so, he would turn his head to look at Wolf, who was lying to the side.

He suddenly realized that Wolf's excitement, tension, and anger at the last moment weren't entirely because of hatred.

He was also afraid. He overcame fear through this method; he wasn't a fool.

In fact, the Professor had always known that Wolf wasn't stupid; he just didn't want to use his brain because of his own existence.

He turned his head to look at Lansi and opened his mouth. That "bastard" was finally not cursed out. He could only take a deep breath, "Hurry up, they've been waiting anxiously."

With a bang, the gunshot rang through the entire valley again after being quiet for a while. Those birds that had just landed flapped their wings and flew into the sky again.

He glanced at the Professor, who was looking at the sky, and withdrew his gaze.

"Clean up, dig a pit, burn a fire first, and then bury them."

With so many people dead, if a plague or something broke out, it would really be a sin.

"Mr. Gali'ao, you saw these things as soon as you arrived... Actually, we are a gang that loves money and peace."

"These are not what I wished for...", he casually turned off the safety of the pistol in his hand and threw it to Aierwen, adding two sentences by the way, before looking at Gali'ao, "Sometimes we have walked very far and want to stop, but there will always be people pushing us forward!"

He reached out and put his arm around Gali'ao's shoulder, his hand pressing on his shoulder, "I like making friends. We are all Imperial people. I think we can become very good friends. Don't you think so?"

On one side were piles of corpses, and on the other was Lansi's enthusiastic "hospitality."

Although Lansi looked very young, he felt more difficult to provoke than those old men, and even harder to guess his thoughts.

At this time, Gali'ao could only nod in agreement, "Yes, when the Wolf Gang was in Fides, it wasn't a good gang. They often bullied the weak... bullied us."

He brought "us" into the "weak" to state his position. Lansi patted his shoulder again, "Everything is over!"

He paused, "Gali'ao, look, actually we are not weak."

"When we pick up weapons, people are absolutely equal in front of guns and bullets."

"But there are still many people bullying us. The number of Imperial immigrants isn't large, and we are still a minority, so we need to unite more closely than others!"

He let go of Gali'ao's shoulder. At this time, they were already some distance away from the "scene."

Lansi turned to look at him, "I am very happy that you could come to find me. What makes me even happier is that I can help you."

"If we all unite, the power we can erupt is even stronger than we imagine ourselves!"

"Damon, the leader of the Imperial gang in Jinxing City, just came over, so I won't call him over."

"Next time, I'll find an opportunity, all of us—you, me, Damon, and some other brothers and sisters who joined us one after another—I'll bring everyone together."

"If anyone encounters trouble, we can ask each other for help."

"In this country that is not very friendly to us, the only thing we can rely on is each other."

After Gali'ao listened very seriously, he unexpectedly felt that the idea Lansi proposed was very good!

If he could have known some Imperial gang leaders earlier and obtained funds, weapons, and even gunmen from others.

He wouldn't have been stepped on by others in Fides City for so many years!

"Mr. Lansi, your suggestion is very good, and I am also very willing to meet others and exchange feelings."

Aierwen walked over at this time and handed a ring and a pendant to Lansi.

"Wolf's things." Gali'ao recognized the origin of that necklace at a glance. There was a very large tooth on it. It was said that this thing was Wolf's lucky charm.

He had experienced many dangerous moments, and it was this lucky charm that protected him.

Most people in Fides had heard of similar legends, and people's attitude toward these stories was also half-believing.

This was where the Professor was smart. He knew very well what kind of gang leader image to shape in order to accumulate strength as quickly as possible for Wolf, who had no foundation.

It's just a pity that he made the wrong choice on the most important thing.

Lansi put the things into Gali'ao's hand, "You said someone was looking for trouble with you. I am not very familiar with the situation in Fides, but I believe this thing can bring you some changes."

Looking at the things in his hand, Gali'ao clenched his palm, "Yes, thank you. I don't even know what to say to express my emotions at this moment."

"You helped us a lot, but I wasn't able to bring you anything."

Lansi said with a smile, "You brought me victory!"

"This is the best reward!"

The mutual flattery ended here. Lansi asked people to take Gali'ao around the city. If he was interested in anything, he should go and try it.

It had to be said that Jincheng had countless advantages compared to Fides, even in terms of solicitation.

Gali'ao found girls at different price points and aided them with some money, protein, and glucose, which also made him feel the charm of money from these expenditures.

From a physiological point of view, the physiological structures of these girls were no different, but under the blessing of different money, he enjoyed different pleasures.

He planned to introduce these services to Fides City. The scale of the solicitation industry in Fides was larger than in Jincheng.

Because heavy physical labor would promote the rise of certain hormones, workers' demand for sex after work was no lower than their demand for alcohol.

During the period without prohibition, the price of alcohol wasn't high, and the income from both aspects could even be on par at times.

It was only after the prohibition took effect that the price and profit of alcohol began to skyrocket, leaving the solicitation industry behind.

But this didn't mean the solicitation industry had no profit. With the market and scale of Fides, Gali'ao could obtain at least twenty to thirty thousand in profit from the solicitation industry every month, which was actually a very astonishing number.

This trip to Jincheng was very fruitful!

After Gali'ao ordered another one hundred thousand in alcohol from Lansi, he took a portion of the alcohol and his people back.

Lansi asked Enio to see them off, sending them out of the city. This was a point; he hoped Gali'ao could continue to help him expand his influence in Fides and the cities around Fides.

This was the only way for Imperial gangs to have a say in the Federation.

Only when everyone united could people look at them equally, rather than discriminating.

After the Wolf Gang was wiped out, Lansi arranged for people to take over the Wolf Gang's territory. At first, people in the port district were very shocked, shocked at why the Wolf Gang didn't counterattack.

But as Lansi's people kept speeding up, even the arcade had its sign removed and replaced with the "Wanli Office" sign, people vaguely understood one thing.

The Wolf Gang might be gone.

In the past half-year, the Wolf Gang had actually done quite well in the port district.

After Poli of the Brother Gang successfully made himself die, the Wolf Gang took advantage of the situation and immediately began to deal with the Red Dog Gang.

After organizing several assassinations of Bill, they successfully forced the Red Dog Gang into a desperate situation, and then found an opportunity to use the mayor to send John to the position of acting chief of the police station—a key force—to wipe out Bill and his Red Dog Gang in one go.

From the time they entered Jincheng until this moment, they actually weren't like the Bear Gang, which was always fighting hard against the Keen family.

Nor were they like the Viper Gang, which became history before people could see the wildness of the Fides gangs.

The Professor preserved and hid a part of their strength very well. Most people couldn't perceive their changes, but they did indeed rule the entire port district.

If they had been given a little more time, if it weren't for Owen and the mayor demanding they launch an attack on Lansi as soon as possible, making them create chaos as soon as possible.

Perhaps the Professor would have chosen not to collide with Lansi face-to-face so early, but to silently accumulate strength.

He had many problems that hadn't been solved, for example, the locals were still very unfamiliar with them and hadn't accepted their existence, and couldn't provide them with various conveniences.

If they had obtained the support of the locals like the Lansi family, could recruit more members, and someone could provide them with more detailed intelligence.

With the Professor's ability combined with some of the mayor's actions, they could have brought great pressure to Lansi.

However, there were no "ifs" or "buts," because everything had already settled down.

The winner could wantonly write anything he thought was correct in the history books; this was his power!

The Wolf Gang, which made many people in the port district feel tricky, was just gone. For a time, those small gangs fled or hid, especially those who had participated in the invasion of the Imperial District.

The news spread quickly. People were shocked that Lansi solved all the problems so quickly, and also curious about how he did it.

Just as people were guessing, Congressman Williams suddenly made a phone call to Lansi, asking him to come over, his voice sounding a bit anxious.

Congressman Williams also lived in the Bay Area. To be precise, this was the first time Lansi had entered the core of the Bay Area by motorcade during the day.

When he was in the Starlight District, he could still feel that the Starlight District was part of the city, but when the motorcade entered the Bay Area, he could clearly feel that the Bay Area was different from other districts.

The streets here were wider, the streets were quieter, and there were police patrolling everywhere; he couldn't even see a homeless person.

Those sanitation workers who were properly "civil servants" often appeared on the streets. They would solve the hygiene problems on the ground, anytime, anywhere.

If some people who didn't seem to meet the conditions for living here appeared on the streets, that would definitely be a disaster!

They would be stopped by the police on the side of the road, asked to show their identity documents, and have their hands pressed against the wall to accept a search.

If anyone dared to resist, what awaited them would be a beating, and then they would be sent to the police station to be locked up and taught a lesson several times in a row.

Even if all the checks were fine and the police were in a good mood and let them go, after they walked a few hundred meters, another team of police would stand out and let them press their hands against the wall...

This was the law enforcement power granted to the police by federal law. They had the right to require those citizens who looked suspicious to cooperate with their inspection work.

So what was suspicious?

When those people who didn't have fifty dollars in total on their bodies walked on this street paved with gold, they were suspicious!

So most people who came to the Bay Area would change into formal wear. Even if they couldn't make themselves look like they could fully integrate into this district, they had to make themselves look like cattle and horses working for the big shots here.

After all, poor people shouldn't come here, but rich people and the rich people's dogs could!

And those cattle and horses.

Clean streets, neat street surfaces, calm afternoon time—Lansi even saw several girls who were dressed revealingly but definitely not cheaply, walking leisurely on the street without needing to worry about danger.

If they dared to do this in other districts, maybe before long, they would either submit to the company's arrangements under the whip, or identify criminals under the protection of the police.

But now, they could enjoy the sunshine, time, and space.

The motorcade soon entered a very high-end community. They only allowed three cars to enter, the reason being to avoid disturbing other owners.

When the car arrived outside Congressman Williams' big villa, looking at that house, even Aierwen, who didn't have a very strong desire for money, couldn't help but let out an exclamation!

"So fucking luxurious!"

"It's like a small palace!"

Aierwen glanced at Lansi, "We have to get one later too!"

Lansi nodded. Actually, this wasn't a question of whether there was money or not; it was a question of whether their social status was sufficient to do so.

Congressman Williams' butler was already waiting at the door. The old man always maintained a smile, and one couldn't see any look of disdain or the like in his eyes.

Being able to act as a butler to welcome guests on behalf of the master, at least his management of his expressions and emotions was already very much in place.

"Please follow me..."

The two passed through the front courtyard and arrived at the back. After entering the house, Aierwen was left in the living room.

Lansi went directly to the second floor and went to Congressman Williams' study.

James (Congressman Williams' eldest son) was also here, half-leaning and half-sitting on the edge of the table, while Congressman Williams was sitting in a chair, puffing on a pipe.

The open window allowed the wind outside to blow in constantly. Although the weather was very hot, the room felt very cool.

"Lansi!" James took the initiative to walk over and shook hands with Lansi, "I heard you pulled out the nail that was the Wolf Gang?"

Lansi didn't deny it, "They touched my bottom line, so I had no choice but to solve them."

Then he let go of his hand and walked to Congressman Williams. Congressman Williams had already stood up, and he also shook hands with Lansi, "I'm very sorry to have you come over suddenly. We might have encountered some trouble."

He said, signaling for Lansi to sit down, while James let the butler prepare coffee.

"Just now, the State Legislature passed the Governor's application. The militia will soon enter the city and take over the city's security work."

When Congressman Williams said this, his eyes flickered. Although it was only for an instant, Lansi still captured the unease hidden deep in his eyes.

He was losing control of the situation!

"Because of the explosions these past few days?"

Congressman Williams nodded, "Not just the explosions. Xidini took a bullet, then the bombing case, the city fell into chaos, the docks started a strike..."

He suddenly smiled bitterly, "Everything seems to have concentrated and erupted together. The State of Likai cannot let Jincheng really fall into chaos, so the Governor submitted a proposal to the State Legislature yesterday to send out the militia to solve the current problems."

"The legislature voted and passed it."

Lansi also felt it was a bit troublesome, "Is there no one opposing it?"

Congressman Williams nodded and said, "There are people opposing it. The Freedom Party is very opposed, but you know, the Socialist Party has the final say here!"

"Once the militia comes in, the whole city will be up to Xidini."

"I even suspect that the bullet he took—was it directed by himself?"

"Only if he directed this farce himself can it be explained clearly why he would arrange everything in advance!"

Lansi furrowed his brows, "How long until the militia comes in?"

Congressman Williams glanced at the desk calendar, "Forty-eight hours. The State Legislature has to submit written documents to Congress for filing, and they will fax them over."

Lansi didn't understand this very well, "Does it need a vote by Congress?"

"No, it doesn't. Congress just puts it in the file cabinet for military actions in the State of Likai, ensuring that when certain things are investigated in the future, some key clues can be found."

Lansi didn't continue speaking, just looking like he was thinking.

Congressman Williams called him over, which meant he definitely needed something from him.

He already had a response plan!

Opening his mouth at this time would mean losing the initiative. ===== CHAPTER 371 =====
