432. Chapter 426: Acting Together, Horror Movies, and Boxing Matches
Nearly October, the temperature has truly dropped.
By the side of Angel Lake, gusts of wind from the sea blew over, and the sea breeze that set off huge waves ran for dozens of kilometers, only wrinkling the surface of Angel Lake.
The sparkling lake surface is hidden in the dense forest, like a gem that has fallen from heaven to the world.
The smell of the wilderness rushed toward them. The afterglow of the sunset shone through the shallow clouds. It was not dazzling, nor hot, just like a natural filter.
It's very quiet here.
Many outsiders have heard of Angel Lake. At first, there were many tourists here. Such beautiful scenery could always attract some tourists.
Whether it's to get a small boat to ripple on the lake, or to sit by the lake fishing or picnicking, it's a very fun thing.
But as "The Secret of Angel Lake" was used by some media and started to leak out, the tourists who came here became fewer and fewer.
Although Jincheng clarified more than once that it was just a rumor, people still chose to believe it.
Thinking that there are countless gasoline barrels under the lake surface, which might contain strange corpses, would make those tourists feel cold in their hearts.
Slowly, tourists became fewer and fewer, and this place became more and more deserted.
Whether it is locals or outsiders, very few people come here, and this place has become a paradise for gangs.
But in fact, if you don't consider those strange things, the scenery here is really good!
Lans leaned on the front of the car, and others stood scattered around. Two cars drove slowly from a distance. Fudisi and Erwin greeted them, and soon Luo Bu got off the car.
He walked to Lans's side and also learned to lean on the front of the car like him, and asked for a cigarette from Lans's side.
"How are you considering it?"
After he passed Bandi's idea to Lans, Lans made an appointment to see him. Some things need to be discussed.
Luo Bu took a puff of cigarette. He looked a little tired. "There is some disagreement in the family. Those people think that stopping now is a very good choice."
"After all, we have lost a lot, and we also need to replenish some manpower, and then earn some money quietly."
"And, Xisike's uncles and grandfathers don't really hope that he can continue to take revenge." Luo Bu tilted his head. "You know, they worry about me, and the family prestige that Xisike has established."
A gang leader can become a leader, most likely because they have enough prestige to deter others in the family.
For example, Big Poli, he is crazy enough, ruthless enough, he dares to open fire at the gunman who is running away when there are pedestrians on the street.
He doesn't care whether he will shoot ordinary people, because he is a madman, and he is also constantly emphasizing his madman attribute.
Lans can become a leader because he led everyone to solve many troubles and made everyone's life better, so he can become a leader.
No matter how they establish personal prestige, every gang leader must have this, and enough of it.
Rick is dead. Some people in the family have changed some of their views on Luo Bu and Francisco. Now some young people take the initiative to lean over and are willing to follow Francisco.
This is the specific manifestation of prestige. His determination to take revenge moved these people, and they are willing to stand behind Francisco.
But this made others a little unhappy. They still want to inherit the family!
"If we continue to go to war with the Cassia family, it is highly likely that it will be wiped out, then Francisco's prestige can at least let him sit firmly in his current position."
"If we have a chance to solve Duofu, then no one can shake this position."
"So they are opposing now, and the reason is that we also need adjustment and recuperation."
Lans glanced at Francisco who was arm-wrestling with Fudisi in the distance, turned his head and asked, "Why not just kill those people?"
Luo Bu didn't react at first. "Who are you talking about?" But soon he realized that Lans was not talking about the Cassia family, but Francisco's uncles and grandfathers.
He smiled and said, "His father just died, and then we discussed killing his uncles, aunts, and grandfathers?"
He felt Lans was joking, but Lans was serious. "They have already affected some things. You know clearly that they will make you uncomfortable, and you still want to keep them. I think you have to consider it seriously."
They have clearly expressed malice. Just kill them directly, right?
He looked at Francisco who was smiling again. Fudisi is indeed a person who knows how to make people happy.
"He will be a gang leader in the future, not a head of the family."
"Loss, gain, the eternal choice."
Luo Bu fell into thought.
After a while, his buttocks left Lans's car front, and he shouted loudly to Francisco in the distance, "Xisike, come here!"
In the distance, some echoes seemed to come faintly, very slight, but they did exist.
"Come here..."
"Come here..."
Lans subconsciously looked at the lake surface, hoping that Jason wouldn't wear a hockey mask, hold a bloody hockey stick, and suddenly jump out to give himself a hit?
Francisco ran over on the hillside, panting a little. "Anything?"
Luo Bu glanced at Lans. Lans pretended not to feel his gazes, and he could only speak for himself.
"We were just chatting, chatting about these people, these things."
The smile on Francisco's face disappeared quickly and became calm.
When Paul was there, these uncles, aunts, and grandfathers were very good to him. They often brought some things to him.
Food, drink, play, books, or something else, everyone seemed to be very good, everyone seemed to like him very much, and he couldn't feel the badness of these people.
But after Paul died suddenly, things became a bit... not very adaptable.
They always said he was small and didn't understand the operation of the family at all, letting him go to school with peace of mind, and they would handle the family's affairs.
He was just young, not stupid.
He actually knew clearly in his heart that once the power really fell into the hands of these people, these relatives, he and his mother would highly likely have no future.
After all, these people have eaten things into their mouths, and it is impossible to take them out and return them to him!
If you want to occupy these forever, then the best way is to let them have accidents and disappear.
Kinship or something suddenly became so fragile. If it weren't for Luo Bu, he felt he might have had an accident.
So he was particularly trusting of Luo Bu.
At this time, Luo Bu mentioned this problem, his mood was very bad, and he couldn't smile anymore, just nodded. "About what?"
"We were just chatting, chatting about these people, these things."
"They are your relatives after all. My idea is that after you grow up in the future and control the entire family, you decide whether they should stay."
"But you have also seen the situation in the past two days. They will always stop you from gaining more prestige and support in the family."
"Just now Lans made a suggestion, or rather, he said his previous idea again."
He stopped here. When he was considering how to phrase it, Francisco asked, "Is it to solve them?"
Luo Bu was stunned for a moment, but soon nodded. "Yes."
"After all, this matter is your family affair, we have to refer to your suggestion."
Lans inserted a sentence on the side. "We are not without ways to deal with these people. When they first showed malice toward you, you should have given them an ending."
"You kill them yourself, and us coming to kill them, the result is actually the same."
"If you consider your relationship as relatives, we can consider catching them and imprisoning them, but there might be some variables."
"Regardless, we will support you."
Francisco's gaze kept flowing between Luo Bu and Lans. He thought of what his mother told him.
No matter what Luo Bu's purpose for doing this was—whether it was really to repay Paul, or had other ideas—at least from the current point of view, Luo Bu was the best choice for him, bar none.
It seemed as if he still had a choice, but in fact, there was no choice.
Lans and the others didn't urge Francisco. For a child, these things were indeed a bit cruel, but he was the one who had to experience them himself.
After a while, about seven or eight minutes, he even smoked a cigarette, and finally he made up his mind.
Only a few people were cleaned up, not everyone. In fact, he could still have some uncles and aunts alive.
Luo Bu and Lans couldn't really kill all his relatives in the family. That was impossible, nor was it reality.
He nodded. "I think this proposal is okay. They didn't treat me as their nephew or grandson, then..."
The teenager pursed his lips, his immature face showing a little bit of firm expression. "... I don't have to treat them as my relatives either."
Luo Bu didn't know what to say when he saw this scene, but he was finally a little relieved because this not only represented that he made a decision that was not so easy.
For many people, even if relatives are bad, they are still relatives. As long as they are relatives, they are not so difficult to give up.
On the other hand, this also shows Francisco's trust in him.
He walked over and hugged this young guy. "I promise, I will make everyone who hurt your father pay the price!"
Lans watched him express his thoughts and felt that he might fall because of this matter.
Only hope, don't fall too hard!
"Okay, let's talk about my idea."
"I will arrange for people to attack the Tita family, using some gunmen from Xiang Yalan."
"And you here..."
Luo Bu immediately understood Lans's meaning. "We were also attacked by gunmen from Xiang Yalan here, losing some backbone."
If only one family was attacked, it could be said that it might be framing, that someone wanted to use these things to intensify their contradictions and let them continue to fight.
But two families were attacked, and both died, so the meaning contained behind this is worth thinking about.
Even if Bandi knew this was framing, he had to consider it. Is the Cassia family worth him continuing to protect?
This is actually something that can be understood at a glance. At least two families would rather hurt themselves by a thousand to kill the Cassia family, so if he continues to block it, he is actually making a bad choice, standing on their opposite side!
The two agreed on the time to take action, and then started to prepare.
After talking about business, Francisco's face had more smiles again, but this time the smile on his face had less worry than before.
Angel Lake is still so beautiful. At sunset, the lake surface reflects red light, just like a magnificent ruby!
Lans thought of something inexplicably. He took a piece of paper, a pen, and started to record.
Erwin on the side was a little curious. "What are you doing?"
Because Lans had been recording for a while, Lans continued to record while saying, "I thought of a story, I plan to film it."
Erwin suddenly became interested. "Is it for Jeral to use?"
He followed up with a sentence, "Can you tell me what the content is?"
"Of course!" Lans rubbed his wrist. He rarely wrote so many things. "It has something to do with Angel Lake, it's a horror movie."
"A guy named Jason was cursed and lived in Angel Lake..."
Erwin interrupted. "Sorry, will anyone live in the lake?"
"How does he live?"
Lans tilted his head. "Come on, there are countless people living below now, this is very normal!"
Erwin was a bit speechless. He understood Lans's meaning. "A water ghost, a ghost, is that what you mean!"
Lans pointed at him. "Your reaction is fast, it's a cursed demon."
Erwin suddenly reacted. "You don't mean that Jason?"
"Yes, it's him. Although he is dead, he can still contribute some value to us!"
"Also, don't interrupt me, listen to me."
"There are rumors in the city that there is a demon in Angel Lake. Some young people from other places don't believe these, they come to travel, and by the way, explore."
Erwin wanted to say something, but held back. He knew this was the beginning of the plot.
"Then they made a mistake, letting the demon in Angel Lake be released."
"Then he killed most of the people, leaving only the protagonist."
Erwin added, "Jeral."
Lans didn't care about his interruption. This was actually a supplement. "Yes, he finally survived, and then sealed the demon back into the lake."
"What do you think of this story?"
"There are already many legends about Angel Lake, why don't we make it more thrilling!"
Erwin thought seriously for a while and nodded. "If the filming is okay, I think I will watch it. I will want to know what the reason is that there are so many people living below."
"And... honestly, Lans, this story gives me a sense of participation. After all, we created it!"
Lans laughed out loud. "We didn't create him, he is still well below, and he won't come out, but we need him!"
The legend of Jason of Angel Lake will become an important cultural symbol. Although it is a horror movie, Lans believes that it will definitely be a classic, which will help Wanli Film Industry open up the situation.
Horror movies in this period are still in the exploration stage. People don't know very well how horror movies should be filmed.
It shouldn't be a simple blood-plasma film, playing some execution scenes, or letting some people wear special clothes like headless corpses walking on the street.
Maybe I will have an extra title of "Father of Horror Movies" in the future?
However, thinking that this title is mostly given to directors, Lans curled his lips helplessly.
Bandi's request is indeed a bit difficult, so he gave these people some buffer time, which also gave Lans and Luo Bu time to prepare.
On Friday night, Lans took a large group of people to participate in Ethan's first ring match.
The match was held in a boxing gym. There were not many people on the scene because whether it was Ethan or his opponent who had two wins and one loss, they were super newcomers in the entire boxing world.
So new that people hadn't even heard of them!
The sports industry is very simple and very realistic.
Whether you are strong or not can be seen at a glance. 【430-13
In running, a tenth of a second is a tenth of a second difference; in boxing, how many fights and how many wins or losses are written clearly and plainly, making it very difficult to fake.
They wouldn't pay attention to a newcomer or a rookie; on the scene, there were only the teams of the two fighters.
And Lanse and his people.
Ethan became a bit excited seeing Lanse and so many others there to watch his match, but he was also a little nervous; he was very worried that he would perform too poorly.
His coach saw his current state and, while massaging him to help him relax, told him that he was the strongest.
Lanse walked to the edge of the ring, and the opposing coach kept staring at Lanse, terrified that he might hand Ethan a weapon or something.
Things like that hadn't never happened before, but fortunately, Lanse was just chatting with him.
"Want one?" Lanse took out a cigarette.
Ethan's coach's face turned black instantly!
"Mr. Lanse, stop joking. Ethan is an athlete now; he can't have this!"
Lanse of course knew; he was just trying to joke, but he was also a little surprised, "You quit smoking?"
At this time, tobacco groups spent huge sums of money every year to suppress all negative news related to cigarettes, including lung diseases and the like, but in sports, people still discovered that smoking athletes were just worse than non-smoking ones.
So after Ethan showed his talent, the coach immediately made him quit smoking.
Ethan nodded a bit embarrassedly; to him, quitting smoking seemed like an embarrassing thing.
Lanse threw the cigarette he had just lit onto the ground, and he patted Ethan on the calf—he was standing under the ring.
"Good job, I'll treat you to something good later!"
The coach on the other side was a bit unsure of what Lanse was actually going to do; he walked to the referee's side and said a few words, and the referee nodded, raising his voice a bit, "Non-essential personnel, leave the ring; our match is about to begin."
Except for the referee and the staff, Lanse and his people were the only audience!
Lanse waved his fist, "Beat him up!"
