Lockheed was the boss of the Jewish gang. At least in the southeast city, not many people dared to make him wait.
Except for his most beloved woman and his own children, no one dared to make him wait.
So when Soap heard this, he had to stand up from his seat and admit his mistake. "I'm sorry. The patrol team might be delayed by something. Should I ask someone to hurry them up?"
"Is there anything more important than this afternoon?" The middle-aged Jew said bluntly, "We informed them five days in advance. Even if there is something, it should be done in five days."
"This …" Soap did not know how to answer. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"You've done so many things recently. Do you really think that everyone else is blind? We invited him here to give him a chance to explain himself. If he doesn't want this chance, of course, we'll be more than happy to move on to the next segment."
The threat in the middle-aged Jew's words was obvious.
Soap was suffering in silence. He did not know what Zhang Heng was up to, and he did not know how he could help Zhang Heng resolve this matter.
Fortunately, the host of this gathering, Zhang Heng, finally appeared outside the tavern's entrance.
The people in the tavern had been waiting for a long time, and they were ready to let Zhang Heng and his men taste the hostility that Soap felt earlier.
However, when Zhang Heng and his men appeared, they found that they could not spit out the abuse they had prepared.
That was because the three people outside the door were all wearing patrol uniforms, brand-new armor, and sharp weapons. They were armed to the teeth.
Especially Zhang Heng, who was the leader of the group. He glanced at the people in the tavern, and no one dared to look him in the eye. They lowered their heads subconsciously, and the unpleasant things that happened before involuntarily appeared in their minds. The patrol team was now a real demon in the eyes of small and medium-sized forces.
Initially, everyone wanted to teach the patrol a lesson, but when they thought about how Zhang Heng might come back for revenge in the afternoon, they swallowed the words that were on the tip of their tongues.
The atmosphere in the tavern was a little awkward. Bronze Arm was the only one who was still glaring at the trio. Since he had lost everything, he was no longer afraid of the patrol's revenge.
According to the Jewish gang's rules, even if the gang stood up for him this time, Bronze Arm would not be able to get his territory back. So the best outcome he could hope for now was for the patrol team to be punished, and Zhang Heng to be kicked out of the southeast city.
The middle-aged Jew frowned. He did not expect Zhang Heng and his party to be so domineering as soon as they appeared. "Are you here to fight or to attend a party?"
"Of course, we were invited to the party, but we are the patrol team. We are charged with the mission of maintaining law and order in this area. We can't forget our duty. In fact, we just finished patrolling the nearby streets, and we rushed here immediately," Zhang Heng said as he took off his helmet.
The leaders of the forces in the tavern almost cursed out loud when they heard this. If it weren't for the Patrol Team and Soap's gang messing around recently, how could the southeast city be in such a mess now? Let alone improving public security, the public security here was far worse than before.
Now, there were fights everywhere on the street, and after what happened to Bronze Arm, the leaders of the various forces had to bring enough guards when they went out. Even when they were in their respective territories, they had to be ready for battle. Think about it, even criminals like them felt unsafe. It would be a miracle if law and order were good.
The middle-aged Jew was taken aback when he heard Zhang Heng's words. There was nothing wrong with Zhang Heng's words, but he shouldn't have said them. However, the middle-aged Jew was now representing the Jewish gang, and he had no intention of arguing with Zhang Heng over such a trivial matter. Anyway, he would have plenty of time to hold them accountable later. So, he just nodded when he heard Zhang Heng's words. "Since you are here, please take a seat."
Zhang Heng thanked him politely and brought Aris and Marcus to the table next to Soap.
After that, a waitress immediately poured wine for the three of them.
At this time, the middle-aged Jew also came to the center of the tavern. He first looked at the leaders of the various forces present, then said, "Thank you all for taking the time to attend this gathering. I'll get straight to the point. The recent situation is obvious to all of you, and I believe it has affected many of your businesses. Some people have called for Mr. Lockheed to uphold justice, but the principle of the Jewish gang has always been that everyone should handle their own affairs. I don't think you want the Jewish gang to be too involved. But now, the situation is obviously getting out of control because of a small group of people who don't follow the rules. So, the Jewish gang has the obligation to get things back on track."
His words immediately won the support and applause of the people present. On the other hand, Soap was on pins and needles.
Everyone knew who the small group of people the middle-aged Jew was referring to. After that, he looked at the patrol team, "We are not unreasonable people. As the parties involved, do you have anything to explain or add?"
As expected, the middle-aged Jew did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. The atmosphere in the tavern now felt like a trial, and the target of the trial was Zhang Heng and the patrol team behind him.
"What do you mean by unruly and out of control?" Zhang Heng asked indifferently as if he did not feel the tense atmosphere. "As a patrol team, isn't it normal for us to arrest criminals and crack down on criminal activities? Since Mr. Lockheed invited me to this party, it seems that he also regards the patrol team as a part of the southeast city. According to the rules of the Jewish gang, you shouldn't care about the normal development of your forces, right? "
"The problem is that you guys are not normal now, especially compared to a month and a half ago," the middle-aged Jew said coldly.
"I think we are much more normal than a month and a half ago. At that time, we were not strong enough, so we couldn't perform our duties as a security team. Everyone treated us as if we didn't exist. Now that we have developed, of course, we have to shoulder our responsibilities."
"So what you're saying is that what you've been doing before was just fulfilling your duties?" The middle-aged Jew pointed at Soap. "But as far as I know, you guys are hunting criminals on the surface, but in fact, you are secretly colluding with his forces to deal with other forces. After killing the leaders of those forces, he will take over all the territories and personnel of those forces. Why? Is this also your duty?"
Zhang Heng was surprised. "So, you want us to arrest all the people, send them to prison, and wipe out all the criminal activities in that territory? Isn't the reason why we are doing this is out of respect for the Jewish gang? We only arrest the chief criminals, and we don't interfere with other people's business. We even take the initiative to find the right person to take over the territory. This way, the Jewish gang's income will not decrease. So when you describe us as out of control, I hope you can consider the concessions we have made to maintain order here. "
