In Fabino's imagination, his second meeting with Sotheby should be full of drama.
Sotheby and his gang should still be thinking about which unlucky bastard to rob. Just when they were about to succeed, a law enforcer came out of nowhere and pinned them to the ground. It would be best if Fabino brought his men to do it, but it wouldn't matter if he did not. He could also walk up to the imprisoned Sotheby, look into his eyes, and ask him in a low voice if he remembered him.
Sotheby's gaze should be a little confused at first, and when he remembered him, he would begin to feel fear. He was worried that Zhang Heng would use his power to retaliate against him.
After that, Fabino would walk up to Sotheby and stand face to face with him, letting Sotheby fully experience the fear and humiliation he experienced that day.
This was called an eye for an eye.
But after that, Fabino would look into Sotheby's eyes and tell him that he was wrong. The men of the Brutus family never liked to abuse their power and bring harm to the weak. This was the difference between him and Sotheby.
It was also the difference between a good man and a jerk.
But now, Fabino did not know what was the point of doing this. Sotheby was already in such a miserable state. What he did could not bring any sense of shame to the other party. Sotheby could not even recognize him anymore.
So when Fabino walked out of the cell, he had completely transformed into Madam Xianglin, and he kept repeating how this happened.
And Zhang Heng, who was next to him, had to say, "I don't know what you are thinking, but a situation like his is quite common in this place."
"Quite common?" Fabino repeated Zhang Heng's words in a daze.
As long as you have money, you can keep recruiting and expanding your territory. Everyone on this block has heard of the legend of Lockheed, but after so many years, there is only one Lockheed in the southeast city. There are more unlucky people like Sotheby. They firmly believe that they will become the next Lockheed, so they actively participate in gang fights and are used as cannon fodder by the big shots above them. When they can no longer fight for their gang, the gang behind them will abandon them and replace them with new young people at a cheaper price. As I said, this place lacks everything, but there is no shortage of young people who want to climb up. "
Zhang Heng paused and continued, "When you were robbed, Sotheby had already robbed sixty to seventy people on the street, and he had participated in no less than ten gang conflicts. It was only a matter of time before he became like this."
"But I haven't let that bastard feel the fear and humiliation I have felt," Fabino said with dissatisfaction.
"Sorry, what did you say?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"Forget it. Forget it." Fabino waved his hand with flagging interest. He was not stupid, but he had been entangled in this matter for a long time. After listening to Zhang Heng's words, he finally understood that Sotheby and he were from two completely different worlds. Sotheby was born in a world full of crime and sin.
Sotheby had seen a lot of terrible things. After robbing a noble, the noble coming back to seek revenge was definitely not on his list of worries. This was why Sotheby completely forgot about him when they met again.
In Fabino's opinion, losing the engagement ring and getting beaten up was a lifelong trauma. But if the two's positions were swapped, and Sotheby was beaten up by Fabino, robbed of his money, and taught a lesson, all he could do was curse at Sotheby. After that, he would get up and forget about it.
He had more important things to worry about, such as how to fill his stomach, please his boss, and how to survive tomorrow.
"Damn it, I have been holding a grudge against such an idiot for so long." Fabino kicked a pebble away. He was not so much annoyed that Sotheby was completely different from what he remembered. Instead, he was annoyed with his immaturity.
His previous so-called revenge plan seemed to be a joke now.
After venting, Fabino raised his head again and looked at Zhang Heng. "Anyway, I want to thank you for helping me find the engagement ring, especially considering that it has been a long time. You must have put in a lot of effort to find it."
"Not really," Zhang Heng replied truthfully.
As Fabino said, it had been six years since the incident happened. It would take some time to go through the normal investigation procedure, but with the cooperation of the Jewish gang, it was not too troublesome to retrieve the ring and find the murderer. The three major forces in the southeast city now had common interests with Zhang Heng. They needed to help him get to the top position as soon as possible to deal with Divo Braille.
So strictly speaking, Zhang Heng was not the only one who did the preparation work for this assessment. The entire southeast city was helping him with the homework.
"Personally, I am deeply grateful for this, and I decided to invite you to my house for dinner one day after the assessment. To be honest, my sisters and an aunt are very interested in you, but …" After expressing his gratitude, Fabino changed the topic and became serious again. "You should have heard some rumors about me. You should know what kind of person I am. I will not let my personal relationship affect my work. Since the Senate chose me as the assessor, I will strictly perform my duties as an assessor. I will faithfully turn what I see and hear into an objective score."
"Of course, solving cases and arresting criminals is also our job." Zhang Heng nodded and said, "The patrol team should bear the main responsibility for this justice that has been delayed for six years."
"You don't have to be so humble," Fabino waved his hand, "I know the general situation here. It is quite amazing that you can help me find the ring. Even if I don't have any personal feelings for you, I still have to give you extra points. If you are ready, let's get started."
…
After receiving Zhang Heng's order, Aris gathered all the members of the patrol team in the open space outside the door.
The assessor walked in front of them and carefully checked the weapons and armor on them that almost blinded him. He then nodded and said, "Your appearance and equipment maintenance are good. No, I should say very good. I think I can give you full marks for these two aspects. That's right. You look like the Imperial Army. Why did you look like beggars before?"
Aris and other veteran patrol members almost cried when they heard the assessor's words. They had never heard such a simple compliment since they were transferred to the patrol team in the southeast city.
Although Fabino knew about the situation here and did not say anything too harsh to them, the contemptuous look on his face every time he came to check them still deeply hurt their remaining self-esteem. They were used to being at the bottom and getting the lowest score. They had almost forgotten what it felt like to be praised.
After that, Aris led the patrol team to show the results of their training during this period. Although Fabino's martial arts skills were not good, his eyes were still quite sharp. He could see that the patrol team had recently gained a lot of combat experience, which made Fabino secretly surprised. It was strange that the useless patrol team could fight now. Could their opponent be a child on the side of the road? He wondered who would win and who would lose.
