The two of them drank and chatted. Time passed very quickly. Gu Qiya would come here tonight and had no intention of going back.
After returning to the hotel where Xu Yun was staying, Gu Qiya asked for another room and followed Xu Yun upstairs.
Although it was late, Lin Ge and Jimmy were still awake. Only Legend was curled up in the corner of the room, asleep. Lin Ge had to admit that this guy had a big heart.
If it had been two weeks ago, Legend wouldn't have been able to sleep. However, he had been through too many things in the past two weeks. Everything was different now. He didn't seem to care about how bad his situation was.
After the two came back, Xu Yun introduced himself. Jimmy squatted on the side and looked at Gu Qiya carefully, as if he was afraid that Gu Qiya would eat him.
"Strictly speaking, I'm not a good person. However, compared to many people, I'm not a bad person." Gu Qiya said calmly, "So, you don't have to be afraid of me."
"I'm not afraid of a woman." Jimmy said stubbornly.
"I advise you to be afraid." Lin Ge warned Jimmy, because he knew Gu Qiya's background. "I think she can kill you with one sentence in any corner of North America."
Jimmy glanced at Lin Ge. Although the majority of his eyes were still filled with disbelief, there was also a hint of fear in them.
"Don't make me sound so scary. I'm not a murderer." Gu Qiya shook her head helplessly.
Lin Ge smiled. "I'm just telling him the truth objectively."
"Okay, Jimmy. Xu Yun has told me about you." Gu Qiya said calmly, "I know that you grew up in the Chinese ghetto in Los Angeles. Perhaps the environment you lived in made most of the people you came into contact with were hooligans and thieves. You might think that you lived in a mafia environment, but let me tell you, that's not a mafia at all. They're just hooligans."
Jimmy clicked his tongue. "Hooligans? You've never lived in the neighborhood I live in. How can you say that the neighborhood I live in is filled with hooligans? "
"I didn't live in your neighborhood? Hehe … Indeed, I have never lived in the neighborhood you live in, but I have seen too many of them. "Gu Qiya nodded.
"It doesn't mean anything. I've even seen the New York Mafia." Jimmy wanted to express his knowledge, but everyone could see that he was nervous in this situation.
Gu Qiya shrugged and said indifferently, "Is that so?"
"Of course!" Jimmy said.
"Do you think the Mafia is any different from the so-called gangs in your neighborhood that rely on stealing and extorting for a living?" Gu Qiya said, "If you can say it, I'll admit that you know the real gangs."
Jimmy was stunned. He didn't know what the real mafia was. He only knew that those people were related to large amounts of drugs and large amounts of firearms.
But did he really understand the mafia? He probably didn't even know about the real mafia in Los Angeles.
"It's normal for you to see the mafia in Los Angeles. After all, it's Hollywood." Seeing that Jimmy had nothing to say, Gu Qiya took the initiative to say, "As far as I know, more than 50 years ago, the real mafia in the United States had already gotten their hands on the mouth-watering cake of Hollywood. Almost every comedian and singer in the United States before the era of rock and roll was related to the mafia. Many people even relied on the mafia to make a living."
Jimmy swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He seemed to have realized the gap between the real mafia and the Huahai Gang he knew.
"Indeed, the first gangs were born on the streets of New York, but now they are no longer street gangsters. They have developed to a large scale." Gu Qiya smiled. "How do you think the real gangs of the United States Mafia were born?"
"Of … of course it's drugs!" Jimmy insisted that it must be because all the gangs of the United States Empire were related to drugs.
Gu Qiya shook her head. "No, you're wrong. It seems that you don't really understand the real gangs of the United States Empire."
"How could I be wrong? It's because of drugs! "Jimmy still insisted. He had seen the gangs on the streets selling drugs!
"Perhaps even your grandfather wasn't born in the era of the alcohol ban in the United States." Gu Qiya shrugged. "It's normal that you don't know. Let me tell you, the gangs of the United States Empire were fattened because of the alcohol ban in the United States Empire! "
Jimmy was instantly dumbfounded. Alcohol ban?
What did this have to do with the gangs? This woman was simply spouting nonsense! Although Jimmy thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out loud.
After all, Gu Qiya was brought over by Xu Yun. Jimmy felt that he should have the most basic respect for the other party.
"That's right. It was the alcohol ban that gave the first mafia a chance to profit." Gu Qiya said, "Believe me, I know the history of the gangs in North America better than you do. It was in the era of the alcohol ban that the gangs took over the import of alcohol. Of course, it was smuggling. In that era, they built their huge criminal empire with the profits from manufacturing and illegal sales. If it weren't for the capital they accumulated at that time, they wouldn't be so powerful now. "
Jimmy listened in a daze. This was something he had never understood before.
"For a long time after that, the gangs of the United States Empire formed the Five Great Families. After World War II, the United States Empire and the Soviet Union entered the Cold War. At that time, the United States Empire was busy dealing with the Soviet Union and ignored the criminal gangs of the country. They even denied their existence." Gu Qiya smiled slightly. "It was also during that period that the gangs of the United States Empire began to get involved in the development of drugs."
Jimmy swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"So, you don't know how the gangs of the United States Empire really rose to prominence," Gu Qiya continued.
"Even if you know … it … it doesn't mean anything," Jimmy said. "It's just history."
"Yes, it's just history." Gu Qiya smiled again. "Then, how do the gangs you've seen recruit people? Or can just anyone join? "
"Of course not just anyone can join!" Jimmy said. He knew that Huahai Gang recruited people by learning how to steal. If they didn't know how to steal, they didn't have the qualifications to become a real member of Huahai Gang.
Gu Qiya nodded her head. "That's not bad. I thought they would recruit all sorts of random people. However, I can tell you how the Mafia recruits people. "
"So … how?" Jimmy wanted to put on an indifferent expression. However, he was truly curious.
Children who grew up in an environment like his had all fantasized about becoming the boss of the Mafia one day.
"When the Mafia recruits new people, they must go through a strict selection process. Furthermore, they usually need the new people to commit a crime. Furthermore, it must be a very serious crime. The simplest one is to kill someone. Only by killing someone can they prove their sincerity in joining the Mafia." Gu Qiya stared at Jimmy, waiting for him to look away.
Under the redefinition of the Mafia's family law, committing a crime was no longer a crime. Instead, it was something worthy of respect within the organization.
"Only by killing someone can one join the ceremony. The portrait of the Virgin Mary on the main altar must first be stained with a drop of the participant's blood. Then, the piece of paper will be ignited and placed into the participant's open hands." Gu Qiya continued to stare at Jimmy. "After the oath of death is completed, the gang members will use the money to throw a grand banquet. From then on, the person will be a member of the Mafia for the rest of their life, until they either die or betray the organization. "
Jimmy was stunned. "What happens to betrayers?"
"Betrayers violate the Mafia's family law. They will be punished, and in serious cases, expelled. Although there are different consequences for violating the Mafia's laws, in the end, they will still be unable to escape death. "Gu Qiya laughed.
Jimmy swallowed his saliva once more.
Of all the Mafia members he knew, the only one he knew was Mad Dog who had killed someone!
"For the Mafia, killing someone is a common occurrence. They will tie someone to a heater or have their head smashed in with a large hammer. In fact, there are even cases where someone's head is clamped in a vise and his eyes really fall out … These things that you might think are inconceivable are common occurrences in the Mafia. "Gu Qiya laughed.
