Chapter 830: Birth and Destruction 66613

In the warm room, Lanse listened to the sound of the little baby through the receiver, his heart feeling peaceful.

The sound of the little baby was actually a bit distorted when it came over, but it was still possible to hear his humming sound clearly.

"He is very cute, but he is always sleeping and can't be woken up."

"I'll tell you a secret, don't tell anyone else!"

Patricia's voice carried a sense of urgency to share. Lanse promised, "Okay, I won't tell anyone else."

"Actually, he prefers drinking Emily's milk!"

Patricia said without hesitation this thing that might not be so suitable for sharing, "I don't know how to say it. The nurse said my milk's nutrition isn't as much as Emily's milk."

"You haven't seen it. Her milk will separate after being in a bowl for a little while, and half of it is fat or something, floating on top in a thick layer."

"Little Ai likes her very much, and often competes with Victor..."

She said this as if thinking of something, and couldn't help but laugh.

Lanse's eldest son had been born, named Ace White.

This was the short name. William suggested that Lanse add the patrilineal name as the middle name. In some respects, this would be helpful for the child's future growth, which was called "Ace Lanse White." Sometimes he felt that their way of naming people was like a joke.

However, this was their naming method. Fortunately, it wasn't the era of the past anymore; otherwise, they might have to add the place name "Jincheng" and some deeds of Lanse.

According to William's statement, a name added with the name of a great father would have a positive effect on the child's childhood growth.

He would take Lanse, this father, as an example, and at the same time, when others understood him, they would also know who his father was from the patrilineal name!

That's right, federal citizens, or rather most people, put the "who your father is" game right out in the open.

When some people were still considering whether to shout "who is my father," they only needed to report their names, and others would know.

Those teachers in school, when seeing someone's full name, would very likely associate it with some great people through the patrilineal name plus the surname, thus treating this student specially.

When he entered society and needed to submit some resumes, people seeing his full name would also show respect to his old father.

Lanse didn't refuse, so his child had this somewhat strange name.

He actually didn't care much about this aspect. A name was just a form of address. What this child would become in the future didn't have a direct relationship with his name.

In Patricia's mouth, the nickname of Ace was Little Ai.

Lanse listened to her talking about interesting things at home, and also felt a sense of happiness and peace from the bottom of his heart.

The three old uncles sent two pure-blooded hounds that hadn't opened their eyes yet. They would grow up with Ace, which was a treatment that even Victor didn't have.

They even selected a batch of good stud horses for little Ace, planning to get a little pony out when he went to elementary school.

This child represented Lanse's future and also represented the future of the Lawrence family. They valued it very much.

After chatting for a while, Patricia suddenly came up with "I miss you," which almost made Lanse not react, "I miss you too."

"When are you coming back?" Her tone was full of longing for Lanse. She wanted to see Lanse now.

Lanse thought for a while, "I will try to come back after the New Year. This business trip has been quite long. Later, I won't be outside for such a long time."

"After the foundation here is laid, the rest is constant replication."

The two talked for a while longer before Elvin knocked on the door, and he had to hang up the phone.

"They have arrived," Elvin reminded Lanse. Lanse nodded, tidied up his attire, went out with Elvin, and got into the car.

"Do you plan to recruit them?" Elvin asked.

Lanse shook his head, "They have taken action against us and revealed malice. How could I recruit them?"

"Even if I recruited them and promised them that the past wouldn't be pursued, do you think they would believe my promise?"

"And do you think I can believe them?"

"They can't believe me, just as I can't believe them. They are unwilling to leave just because they are reluctant to part with the foundation here."

"Since they are reluctant, then don't leave, stay forever!"

Lanse hadn't considered letting these people go from the beginning. Only by cleaning up this city and completely eliminating some people's little thoughts would they be honest.

Pain and death are the best ways to restrain someone from breaking the rules, no exception!

Elvin felt a bit strange, "Then you found them together..."

Lanse answered with a smile, "Finding them one by one is too much trouble. Isn't it more convenient for them to gather together themselves?"

Elvin was a bit stunned, but immediately laughed, "This might be the unluckiest day for them to come to the world!"

Lanse corrected his statement, "No, it's the luckiest day, because they can see God today."

"If they don't have to go to hell!"

It was really a hell joke. Elvin couldn't help but laugh loudly, "You're right, Lanse!"

The carriage was full of relaxed and happy atmosphere. Lanse didn't intend to let these people go.

He had indeed considered it before. After all, wiping out all gangs in the first city he took down would indeed possibly set a bad example.

But thinking about it again, if he didn't do this and recruited these people, would it set another bad example for gangs in other cities?

They would feel that they could try to challenge Lanse and the Lanse family. If they could fight, they would fight; if they couldn't, they would join. Could this be considered a wrong guidance!

As long as they were willing to bow their heads, Lanse would absolutely forgive their practices and let them join.

Then more and more people would challenge Lanse. This didn't fit Lanse's strategy and plan.

Although killing these people would indeed make some people nervous, it would also make these people afraid, making them realize that Mr. Lanse wasn't so easy to offend!

The restaurant where they talked was next to the city center.

Seeing that it was almost time for the negotiation, some police cars came to both sides of the street, set up roadblocks, and began traffic control.

No social vehicles were allowed to enter this street, and the police stood at the intersections on both sides.

Some people didn't know what happened inside, but compared to big-city residents, when facing law enforcement officers, they were relatively more honest.

There were already quite a few cars parked in the street. The remaining five gangs also brought quite a few people this time. These people stood scattered on the street.

They also saw the police conducting traffic control here, but no one felt there was any problem. On the contrary, some young people pointed at the police, giggling, not serious enough.

For these local gangs, the police didn't have a very good impression.

The Mayor of New Birmingham hadn't cooperated with gangs before Lanse arrived.

On one hand, the level of gangs here was too low. They couldn't touch politicians at the Mayor's level, let alone cooperate with the Mayor on various interests.

The Mayor and the Police Chief had no obligation to take care of their criminal behavior and business.

They might corrupt some underclass police officers, providing them with some information, for example, when there was an arrest operation, giving them a heads-up in advance. This was the limit of what they could do.

On the other hand, the scale of the city wasn't big, the economy wasn't developed, and even the speed of gangs making money wasn't as fast as imagined.

The population of 200,000 was about one-twelfth of Jincheng, but this didn't mean that the income of gangs in this city was one-twelfth of the income of gangs in Jincheng.

It might be one-twentieth, or even less, so even if they wanted to cooperate with the Mayor, they couldn't come up with anything that could move the Mayor.

The Mayor couldn't possibly mess with gangs for a few tens of thousands of dollars a month. That was too low-class!

You know, once they reached this step of Mayor, it meant they had taken the firmest step in their political career. If they wanted money, they didn't necessarily need to cooperate with gangs.

So they were still in opposition with the Mayor and the police.

Police-gang relations were still in opposition.

Today, the Police Chief let these police officers come to maintain order and do traffic control, which they didn't understand.

Since when did the police have to maintain order for gangs?

Why not send people to arrest them all at this time?

Although most police officers didn't understand, they still earnestly executed the Chief's decision.

Accompanied by the arrival of Lanse's motorcade, the police also helplessly removed a part of the roadblocks, letting the motorcade enter the street.

A young police officer who had just entered the police system for half a year straightened his police cap and spat at Lanse's motorcade.

His partner, an old police officer, walked over and pressed his shoulder, "Maintain a peaceful state of mind, buddy."

The young police officer was a bit indignant, "I never understand what the purpose of us allowing these tumors to exist in the city is!"

"If you ask me, we all know they are criminals. There is no need to consider whether the evidence is sufficient. Just arrest them all and interrogate them fiercely. Someone will definitely confess."

His partner smiled helplessly, "Things aren't as simple as you think."

He also looked toward Lanse's motorcade, "I heard that the person organizing the event this time is Lanse from Likai State. I don't know what they are going to discuss this time, even the Chief's side has to cooperate."

"What else can they discuss?"

The young police officer shook his head, "Nothing more than the division of territory..."

The motorcade stopped slowly outside the restaurant. Although there were many local gang members around, they just watched from afar. The nearest group of people were all Lanse's people.

"They are already inside," Enio walked over and said softly.

Lanse nodded and walked toward the restaurant.
