When Princeps returned to the hotel, the members of the Tucson Brotherhood were shouting.
Seeing that his subordinates were about to fight, he, who was already upset, became even more unhappy. He roared, "What are you doing? What are you doing?!"
Several treasure hunters from the Tucson Brotherhood looked back at him, and one of them said contemptuously, "Idiot, who do you think you are? Do you think you have the right to speak here?"
"This, this, this seems to be the boss," a treasure hunter said in surprise after a closer look.
Princeps had been forced to shave off his beard, and his hairstyle was messed up because of the fight with the police. For his men who were familiar with his classic image, they might have mistaken him at first glance.
Seeing that Princeps had returned, the treasure hunters of the Tucson Brotherhood finally quieted down. They were divided into two factions and looked at each other angrily.
Princeps asked angrily, "What's the matter with you?"
A treasure hunter rushed to say, "Boss, after you were arrested, Ranka and the others said bad things about you and questioned your position!"
"Yes, boss, I think these bastards want to usurp power, and they are eyeing your position."
"We have to teach them a lesson and let them know who is in charge here!"
No one in a position of power could tolerate someone trying to usurp their position.
Princeps narrowed his eyes, looked coldly at a group of people standing on the side, and asked, "Ranka, come out and say it. Is this really the case?"
A tall black man with thick arms came out and said, "Princeps, these bastards are talking nonsense. I don't covet your position …"
"Ha, Ranka, you coward, coward. You were jumping up and down just now. Now that you see the boss, why are you shrinking back?" The white young man who spoke first laughed disdainfully.
The black man was furious. He pointed to the young man and said, "Put away your ugly face, Arveis. You really know how to stir up trouble."
"Who was the one who said that the boss wanted to take everything for himself?" Arveis shouted.
Ranka said angrily, "I said it. That's right, I questioned Princeps, but I didn't question him because I wanted to be the boss!"
"You obviously did. Otherwise, why would you question the boss? Why didn't I see you question the boss before? "
The two sides were about to quarrel again. Princeps picked up a cup and smashed it on the ground, roaring, "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! "
Hearing the sound of the cup shattering and seeing the Princeps getting angry, the two parties once again shut their mouths. However, there was a look of indignation on their faces. It seemed like no one was willing to give in to the other.
Seeing this, the head of state became even angrier.
This meant that he could no longer suppress these people. These people, whether they were protecting his position or questioning him, were no longer listening to him.
Princeps had been running the Tucson gang for a long time and had a high position in the gang. However, a series of events this year had shaken his position.
First of all, he had been cheated by Li Du several times and had lost quite a lot of money. The Tucson gang generally participated in the election as a gang unit. They were bound together for good or bad. If they had to pay, they would all pay together.
Secondly, in order to use Conrad to deal with Li Du, he had done everything he could to please Conrad, which made the men of the Tucson gang very unhappy.
Once again, George came to blackmail him, and he also lost the gang's money. That was a big loss. Ranka and others began to question his decision from then on.
Finally, in this confrontation with Li Du, he was cheated again and was taken to the police station, which was a very shameful thing for him.
What was even more shameful was that when the police came to check on him, he subconsciously chose to jump out of the window and escape. In the eyes of the tough men of Tucson, this was a coward's move.
Another important thing was that he shaved off his Hitler mustache.
The mustache was a symbol. In fact, people were not afraid of Princeps as a person, but the image he had created by high-handed means in the past. When his mustache was shaved, this image collapsed.
Rome was not built in a day. In short, the gang had not come to this point in an instant, but the result of many things that had accumulated for a long time.
He knew that he had to solve these things, or his dominance would be in jeopardy.
Princeps stared at Ranka and asked, "You said you questioned me. What did you question?"
His power was still there, and Ranka did not dare to look directly at him. He turned his head to look away and said, "We heard that you sold the silver coins and were going to embezzle the money."
Princeps suddenly laughed and said, "Where did you hear this damn news? Idiot, is there a hole in my brain? Would I embezzle the money that we got together? "
"That's right." Arveis and the others nodded.
Ranka muttered, "Anyway, someone said so. They said that they sold the silver coins and got more than a dozen damaged silver coins. They wanted to use the silver coins to fool us."
Princeps said coldly, "Don't you have a brain? Am I that kind of person? What a bunch of idiots! A bunch of idiots! Someone is slandering me and trying to break up our Tucson gang behind my back. Don't you know that? "
"That's right." Arveis and the others continued to nod.
Ranka did not speak, but his face was still unconvinced.
Princeps waved and said, "Arveis, you go to my room and take out my backpack. I will speak with facts."
Arveis ran upstairs quickly and took his backpack.
Princeps pointed to Ranka's nose and said, "Look carefully. In the future, grow some brains. Don't just listen to the wind and have some ability to distinguish!"
As he said so, he took out the box with the silver coins and opened it in front of everyone.
It was already night, and the hotel lobby was full of lights, as if it were daytime.
When the box was opened, everyone saw what was inside: a black surface with a messy pattern …
Princeps was stunned. For a moment, he was dumbfounded.
Ranka and the others perked up. He asked, "Princeps, you're not going to say that these are the silver coins we got, are you?"
This change caught Princeps off guard. It was completely unexpected. He looked at the silver coins and was stunned for a moment. "What, what, what is going on?"
Ranka suppressed his anger and said, "Don't play dumb, Princeps. The news we heard is true. You sold them and are going to use them to fool us!"
"Yes, we've lost a lot of money during this time, and you've lost more money. This time, the warehouse will also lose money. You want to sell the silver coins to stop your losses!"
"Princeps, you've gone too far. I'm ashamed to be your subordinate!"
Arveis was eager to protect Princeps' face and status. He pointed angrily at the treasure hunter and said, "Since you feel ashamed, get out of here. Don't stay in Tucson!"
Provoked by him, the treasure hunter waved his hand and shouted, "I'll go. I've wanted to go for a long time. I've wanted to go since he was a slave to the New Yorkers!"
The people around him shouted, "Let's go, let's go together!"
Ranka waved his hand, and the group of treasure hunters started to leave.
