Chapter 770: No One Is Innocent and the Advancing Father

Miluo looked up at Lanse; half of the sky had already been dyed by thick black smoke, which made the light on half of Lanse's face look slightly dim, while the right side was still bright morning light; from the bridge of his nose, the whole person seemed to be divided into two parts.

One part was shrouded in sunlight; the handsome and dashing face made it hard for people to believe he was the biggest gang leader in Likaer State.

The other part was obscured by shadows; he merged with the shadows, or rather, at this moment, he was the shadow!

I don't know why, Miluo had this feeling at this moment, but he wasn't happy because of his artistic cells.

He knew he was going to be finished.

He thought of the first time he killed someone.

At that time, he was just sixteen years old and had already started working for the family with his father.

A kid didn't know where he drilled into their warehouse and stole about five thousand dollars worth of things.

An uncle of his father was very angry; that was an old man who liked to pull everything to "the glory of the Perez family," even if someone just saw him not taking off his hat to greet him, he would lose his temper—

"This person doesn't respect us, doesn't respect the Perez family; we have to give him a taste of color."

Naturally, the things in the warehouse were stolen; he thought this was a desecration and provocation to the glory of the Perez family; if they couldn't catch this person and punish him, letting everyone know that the glory of the Perez family was not allowed to be humiliated in the slightest, then it would be the greatest shame of the Perez family.

He was not young, and he was a direct member of the family; his words still carried some weight, so this trivial matter was handed over to Miluo and his father.

Mainly handed over to him.

At that time, he had just started high school; he had good nutrition since he was a child, so he was very tall, and very strong, very sturdy; in high school, he was definitely one of the few tall people.

He didn't like going to school; he longed for the free and easy life of a gang.

Anyway, he still had to work for the family in the future, so he dropped out of school early and started working; this was also considered a test for him by the family.

He locked onto a suspect through the family's channels; the things the other party was selling on the black market recently were what they had lost.

But this person was very cunning; no one knew where to find him, so Miluo found his best friend's side.

At that time, the scene... in a trance, it was the same as this moment; the young man who was older than him knelt in front of him, begging him to bypass him; he didn't know at all what his good brother had done, and where he was.

That was in the apartment of that unlucky guy; he stood in the room, and the unlucky guy knelt in front of him.

His father and his father's subordinates stood at the door, looking at him through the door.

He tightened the gun in his hand, and after cursing "you bastard," he pulled the trigger directly at that innocent person.

He fired several shots in a row, and blood splashed onto his face; he had a "slow and cruel smile" on his face, just like... the body didn't react, didn't follow the rhythm of thought.

The expression on his face looked like a smile, but if you look closely, it was actually ferocious!

He didn't care whether that person really knew what his brother had done, nor did he care whether he was innocent; this was the effect they wanted—

Offending the Perez family would lead to widespread involvement.

If you don't want to be involved, report him!

This trick was very useful; soon they got a piece of news from another person, allowing them to find the person who stole the family's property.

When this matter was reported to the family, Miluo was praised by his father's uncle, calling him "the young backbone of the Perez family," a compliment, but it is said that he had called at least twenty or thirty young people like this.

But regardless, his performance allowed him to enter the sight of the family's ruling class, and only then did he have everything he possessed today.

In a trance, he and the innocent person who knelt in the shadows of the apartment and begged him that day overlapped; they were all so innocent, so... helpless.

He looked at Lanse, wanting to find pity in Lanse's eyes, even if it was a trace of pity.

But he only found indifference.

Lanse shook his head slightly, "You gained glory because of your surname, and you will also pay the price for your surname."

He took a step back; Miluo's goosebumps rose in this instant, and his scalp was also numb; he suddenly wanted to jump up, but it was too late!

The person behind him pressed his shoulders directly, and something cold pressed against his head; this time he didn't stop resisting, he was still struggling, but the next second, the gunshot rang out.

He looked at the blood foam sprayed on the ground, looked at the white tissue in those blood foams; the muscles on his face twitched, and his memory stayed on the picture of the young man who was older than him finally falling at his feet.

He fell to the ground headfirst.

No sound.

Lanse looked down at his leather shoes, a bit helpless.

"Next time you shoot in the head, aim the muzzle lower; my leather shoes were just made..."

He walked to Miluo's body and rubbed his shoe surface on his clothes, "Really damn... I didn't want to talk about you."

Hiram was grinning and didn't care at all, "I'll give you ten pairs; if ten pairs aren't enough, then a hundred pairs; throw them away after wearing them once, how about that?"

Lanse glanced at him, "Deduct one month's salary."

Hiram's eyes widened more and more, with an expression of disbelief.

Lao En put away his weapon on the side and curled his lips, "Deserved."

The two soon started playing around, and Lanse looked at the rack used for hanging things, signaling people to hang Miluo up.

Soon the motorcade left here, and the fire spread over; everything was burned to nothing in the raging flames...

The state police also left with Lanse and the others; these people were all arranged by Chief Anthony to follow, which could minimize some trouble.

State police have the qualifications and power to perform official duties across states, so this is not an offense to their counterparts in Denuozhou for them.

The motorcade gathered on the interstate highway and then moved toward Likaer State; when the motorcade entered the territory of Likaer State, all the cars slowed down and pulled over slowly.

The Sheriff in the first police car came to Lanse's car, "Mr. Lanse, I have some cowboys arrested here."

Lanse glanced at him and turned to look at Hiram, "You handle it."

Hiram rolled his eyes, pushed the door open, and left the passenger seat with a submachine gun.

Soon those cowboys were brought out of the police cars; there were only a dozen people in total; in fact, there were some other cowboys, but they ran very fast, or were very cunning, and didn't get involved.

A few cowboys were still struggling, emphasizing the rights they possessed, but a few cowboys had already realized something was wrong, but it was a bit late at this time.

They were asked to kneel on the side of the road; some resisted, but were killed immediately, and then Hiram walked over one by one like an executioner of a monarch.

The gunshots in the wilderness startled the birds and beasts staying nearby; large flocks of birds hovered in the air; after the motorcade left, they swooped down again to taste the rare blood food.

The strong smell of blood soon attracted nearby predators; a relationship in the biological chain was vividly interpreted at this moment.

In Denuozhou, the fire grew larger and larger; the Mayor was afraid that the fire would eventually spread over, so he could only call the fire alarm; soon the fire brigade from nearby cities rushed over.

After observing the terrain, the fire brigade captain indicated that they could only let it burn out by itself.

They dug a firebreak about four or five meters wide around the Maple Kite Grass field to ensure that the big fire would not spread to the surroundings, left a few observers, and the others left first.

The big fire burned until evening before it was completely burned out.

The Mayor and the others didn't know at all what happened in the farm; at this time, the Mayor, the Sheriff, and some brave people and some cowboys who were not arrested entered the farm, and soon one by one they covered their mouths and ran out.

The strong, disgusting fragrance!

Fuck!

The Mayor was chubby, and he vomited the most; he even vomited the hard noodles he ate for breakfast!

What made him even more fearful and uneasy was that as long as he closed his eyes, that picture would appear in front of him—

A corpse that had been smoked cooked was hanging on the gallows, and it was still sizzling with oil...

Fuck!

He cursed while vomiting; although it was too dark to see the specific appearance, he knew that was Miluo Perez!

Five minutes later, Miluo's father received a call.

Because of his outstanding performance when he was young, he had been transferred back to the family headquarters to work, mainly responsible for some business matters.

The more upper-level gangs are like capital-operated enterprises, everything will be more orderly and scaled.

He sat quietly in front of the phone; there had been no sound in the receiver for a long time, even the dial tone had long since disappeared; there was only "nothing," like dead silence.

He sat there for a long time without coming back to his senses; he fought hard when he was young; he was not a direct member in the strict sense.

Direct members refer to the branch of the second-generation family head; they have had quite a few people over the years, but there are still more non-direct ones.

Non-direct ones are not always non-direct; as long as they make contributions to the family, they can become direct members.

Direct members have many welfare benefits; for example, their children are registered in the family fund as soon as they are born, and they can get a sum of money every month, depending on their age.

When they reach the age of twenty, they can choose to continue taking money monthly, or take a sum of money at once.

In addition to this, there are many other welfare benefits.

He wanted his children and descendants to become direct members, so he had always been very desperate and very hard-working.

Only in this way could his children and descendants not have to play with their lives like him.

Although the family no longer needs to open up territory, maintaining the stability of the family also requires a lot of manpower; battles happen every moment.

It was because he was too desperate that he was shot in the balls in a battle, and he lost the ability to reproduce.

Miluo entrusted all his beliefs in blood inheritance, and he didn't even hesitate to send him to the southern farm far away from the family to be a farm owner when he was in his best age, his twenties!

It was just to let him avoid the cruel gang struggles that might appear, internal or external.

Unexpectedly, he had tried his best to protect his son, but he was still gone.

He put down the phone, and the whole person seemed to have aged decades in an instant; his spirit was sucked away by an invisible big hand in an instant.

He sat there bent over, his mind blank.

Until after a while, he reacted in a trance; someone was knocking on the door.

"The door is not locked, come in."

The door was opened, and a cousin of his stood outside the door, "Mr. Fran wants you to go over."

He nodded, "I'll go right away."

His voice was a bit hoarse; after hearing that terrible news, his throat seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze.

He supported the table and stood up slowly; clearly, it was a very simple thing, but for him now, it became a very difficult thing.

His legs seemed unable to support the weight of his body!

He took a step and almost fell; until after a while, he returned to normal.

The road that usually took seven or eight minutes took more than ten minutes; when he pushed open Fran's huge office, there were already many people in the room.

Some core members of the family, direct members, were all here.

"Come over here!", Fran had already stood up; he walked around the table and greeted Miluo's father; he hugged Miluo's father, hugged him firmly, tightly!

"Sorry, I heard this terrible news; I have already dispatched people from the family nearby, perhaps..."

He wanted to say "perhaps that is not Miluo," but in the end, he didn't say it, because what he understood, and his own experience, had already told him that it was Miluo!

Only Miluo would be hung up!

This is a revenge, a revenge to vent hatred, so the one hung up must be a person of the Perez family!

Who the hell would hang a farmer or farm woman?

Miluo's father could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears.

The surrounding Perez family members looked at him solemnly, with more or less sadness on their faces.

The old man who always talked about "desecration of family glory" was also here; he sat on the sofa with his hands on the head of his cane; this time he didn't scream jiliaoliao.

"Fran, I want to take revenge for Miluo!"

"Please allow me to go to Likaer State."

Fran's face couldn't see any expression changes, but inwardly he was very unhappy; going to Likaer State was no different from sending a head.

The more people who die, the more the authority of the Perez family will be destroyed, but now he can't say no, after all, Miluo just died.

He glanced at Bob, and Bob stood up immediately, "I support you in taking revenge, but we have to figure out who did it first."

Fran nodded slightly; it was still his brother who knew his thoughts.

Miluo's father let go of Fran; he apologized while taking out a handkerchief to wipe his flushed eye sockets.

After a while, he looked at Bob, "Besides Lanse, who else could it be?"

They all knew that the family had just burned Lanse's four cinemas, seriously hitting the face of the Lanse family.

At this time, only the Lanse family could retaliate so bloodily.

And the Mayor said that the state police who came were all driving police cars from Likaer State.

Police from different places, police from different departments, all have their own set of independent things that can identify their identities; the police badges shown by those police were written with the words "Likaer State Police."

Bob raised his eyebrows; his brain was spinning faster than ever before, "Too obvious, Ted (Miluo's father)!"

"Yes, too obvious; they seem to be afraid that others don't know they are from Likaer State, and they have to specifically show their certificates to let them see; they seem to be guiding us to this matter, that it was done by people from Likaer State."

"Everyone now knows that we and the Lanse family are in conflict; if we are also retaliated against, are we going to retaliate back?"

"A direct member was killed; we definitely can't pretend we don't know anything; once we act, will we fall into someone's trap?"

"I am very heartbroken!"

"Miluo was an outstanding young man; he shouldn't have left so early."

"So we need to figure out this matter more carefully!"

"If it wasn't done by the Lanse family, even if we executed Lanse, the real murderer would escape; he would even laugh at us, and Miluo's soul would not get peace!"

Perhaps it was the last sentence that played a role; Miluo's father restrained some emotions, "I understand, what you said is very right; I was impulsive."

Fran regained the right to speak at this time, "I will immediately arrange for people to investigate this matter; I will notify you as soon as there is a result."

"Don't worry, as long as we investigate who did this, we will definitely not let him go!"

The old guy who liked to shout slogans also found a suitable opportunity; he stomped the floor with his cane, "No matter who it is, we will not allow anyone who desecrates the glory of the Perez family to live in this world!"

Fran nodded again, "Yes, we will not allow that."

"Now besides figuring out who our enemy is, there is one more thing: bring Miluo back."

"He should be with his clansmen."

The Perez family has its own family cemetery; being able to be buried in the family cemetery after death, and the closer the burial position is to the middle, the more it is a symbol of glory!

Ted took a deep breath, his eye sockets full of tears; he almost said this through gritted teeth, "I'll go personally!"

Fran glanced at him, then nodded, "Good, you go personally, bring more people."

Ted took out his handkerchief again and wiped his tears, "Sorry, I lost my composure; then I'll go prepare first."

"He is too lonely alone; I want to bring him back early!"

Fran didn't stop him.

The moment Ted went out, the expression on his face changed.

In fact, he knew, and the people inside knew, that there was only one possibility for such a naked slap in the face of the Perez family.

But they were thinking about taking care of the overall situation.

He didn't want to; he was just a father who had lost his only child; he wanted to take revenge for his child, that's all!
