The distribution of Gotham was very complicated. After all, it was a city with 8 million residents. Even though the security level had been decreasing in recent years, it was still a famous city in the country. Therefore, many people chose to come here every year.
Most of the time, this kind of population flow represented a kind of prosperity. The city was able to absorb talents from different areas for its own use. However, in Gotham, this kind of flow brought about other things besides prosperity.
Maximosi was entertaining his fellow countryman from the Central City, who was also one eighth of Russian blood.
This strong guy was the leader of the Russian gangsters in the West District. He had inherited the strong body that his ancestors had trained in the Siberian plains. He was 30 years old and was at the prime of his life. After he inherited his father's position five years ago, the Russian gangsters who were originally considered mid-tier quickly rose to power and became the overlord of the West District.
However, after Maloney took over the Falconi Mafia, Maximosi's position in the West District was seriously threatened. In terms of strength, he was not afraid of Maloney. However, in a fight between gangs, there were always people who came up with ideas. Furthermore, the Russian gangsters were notoriously xenophobic. After being suppressed, Maximosi finally turned his attention to his fellow countryman.
"Hahaha, Leonard, this time you have to stay in Gotham for a few more days!"
Maxim gave the skinny young man with short blonde hair a warm hug. He patted the young man's shoulder in a forthright manner unique to Russians and said in a booming voice.
"Treat this place as your home, my nephew. However, I heard that you rejected the offer from New York University. What's the matter?"
Faced with Maximosi's question, the young man named Leonard touched his chin and revealed a calm yet cold smile.
"Nothing much. It's just that my sister is a little naughty. I don't feel comfortable leaving her alone in the Central City. Furthermore, compared to the boring knowledge in the university, I'm more willing to do something practical … Uncle Maximosi, this time I'm here to ask for your help."
The leader of the Russian mafia laughed and opened a bottle of vodka. He took a sip and let out a comfortable groan. Several blonde girls in revealing clothes came out with all kinds of dishes and placed them in front of the uncle and nephew. They stroked their hair coquettishly, but they didn't get the slightest bit of attention from the two.
"Tell me, my nephew. What do you want me to help you with?"
Maximosi tapped his fingers on the high-end dining table in front of him. His eyes were full of generosity and admiration.
Unlike him, who was a complete brute, the skinny but handsome young man sitting in front of him was a famous genius in his family. However, his alcoholic father often abused them. Unfortunately, at that time, Maximosi was just a hooligan wandering around the Central City. He could not help his nephew and niece. When he returned to Gotham and inherited his father's position, Leonard's father was long dead.
However, he did not cut off contact with his nephew. He had long felt that one day, he would need his nephew's wisdom. He could feel that Leonard, who was like an ordinary high school student, had a poisonous snake in his heart.
This was what he needed … A bear and a snake. What was a mere Maloney?
"I … I want to borrow two people. Two people who have the ability to steal and are trustworthy."
Leonard took a sip of the strong vodka and said softly, "I have my eyes on a necklace in the Central City Exhibition Hall … My sister likes it a lot. I want to get it for her as her 16th birthday present."
If it was an ordinary family, they would probably jump up in fright after hearing Leonard's story. However, Maximosi, who was born in a family of mafia, slapped his thigh hard and said with a smile, "You are indeed a genius.
"As expected of the genius of our Snett Family. I have the person here … But have you completed your plan?"
Leonard nodded confidently.
"Don't worry, Uncle Maximosi. I have 70% confidence."
"Alright, then let's …"
"Bang!"
A loud sound interrupted Maximosi and Leonard's discussion. Then, there was a crazy fire. Almost in the blink of an eye, the surrounding buildings of Maximosi's mansion were completely destroyed. The uncle and nephew felt the ground shaking. The sound of the explosion seemed to ring in their ears.
"What's wrong! What the hell, what's going on! "
Maximosi pulled out the pistol from his waist and shielded his nephew behind him. He shouted towards the door, but no one answered.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
After the explosion, there were gunshots that sounded like a rainstorm. There were also screams of people on the verge of death. The frequency of the gunshots made Maximosi's expression change drastically. He had been in this business for six years. He could immediately tell that there were at least 30 automatic weapons firing at the same time outside. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the clock hanging on the wall.
"F * ck! 20: 44. It's not even midnight yet! What the hell! Who the hell is it? "
Leonard, who was shielded behind him, had an extremely ugly expression. There was also a trace of unconcealable fear. No matter what kind of person he would become in the future, at least for now, he was just a high school student who had just graduated and was planning his first robbery in his life.
How could he not be afraid?
"Uncle, we should go!"
Leonard grabbed Maximosi, who was trying to rush out, and anxiously shouted, "Only by protecting yourself can you have the capital to retaliate. They are obviously coming for you. Let's go!"
"Bang!"
The swaying light of the gorgeous crystal chandelier above their heads was completely extinguished at this moment. The hall, which was full of light and luxurious decorations just now, was shrouded in endless darkness in the blink of an eye. Several panicked screams came from other rooms. They were the dancers raised by Maximosi. They were the several blonde girls who were Maximosi's personal playthings.
The sudden darkness made the leader of the Russian gangsters frightened. He heard Leonard's reminder and reacted subconsciously.
"F * ck! It must be that bastard Maloney! You are right, Leonard, my nephew. Let's go. When I come back, I will definitely beat that old bastard! "
He turned around and pulled out a black bag from under the dining table. It was an emergency item he had prepared long ago. Every person who could mix in the position of a gangster was not simple. Even the reckless Maximosi was no exception.
"Leonard, take it. Let's go!"
"Leonard, you wait …"
Maximosi shouted in the darkness, but he did not get a response. He turned around angrily and saw Leonard's figure rushing to the corner.
"Boom!"
The ground shook again. Under the direct bombardment of the grenade, the heavy door behind the two of them shattered and flew in all directions. All the glass in the building was shattered and scattered on the ground. Those panicked screams, those begging for mercy, and those dying voices were completely drowned out by the huge explosion that blocked everything in this moment.
Leonard, who was hiding in the corner, was stunned by the shock wave. His chest hurt, and his vision turned black. He felt that even his breathing became hot. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. His uncle, Maximosi, who was as strong as a bear, was directly blown up by the first wave of the explosion and smashed heavily on the ground.
Leonard's ears were ringing. He opened his eyes with great difficulty and saw the chaotic rain of light formed by bullets streaking across the darkness outside the villa. Dazzling sparks rose from the grenades' explosions one after another. There were also loud shouts echoing in his ears, as well as the anguished wails of those who were dying. This terrifying scene was like a black and white movie being rewound, replayed, and replayed again and again. It kept flashing before his eyes.
Then, in the flames of the things in the house that were ignited by the explosion, he saw a dark red figure walking step by step into the dark hall on the ground that was full of devastation. It was a figure that looked like the Middle East war zone.
He was wearing a set of special armor from head to toe. There was a straight blade on his back and a dark red ghost mask on his face. His special combat boots made a cracking sound when he stepped on the broken glass on the ground.
He held a large caliber pistol in his left hand and stepped forward. The darkness seemed to be unable to block his eyes. He just glanced around and saw Leonard lying in the corner and then saw Maximosi lying on the ground moaning.
"Oh, Maximosi … the boss of the Russian gangsters. I want to ask if I have found the wrong person, right?"
Saber squatted beside Maximosi. He patted the burly man's cheek with the pistol in his hand, but he didn't wake him up. Saber was probably seriously injured in the explosion just now. This undoubtedly made Saber very unhappy, so he put the gun in his hand back into the holster and touched his belt gently. A cold light jumped into his palm.
Under Leonard's gaze, the dark red monster raised the short knife in his hand high and then fiercely stabbed down. He swore that he could even hear the blade colliding with the hard ground.
"Ka"
"Ah!!!"
The pain of having his palm pierced through woke Maximus up from his daze. He opened his eyes and didn't even care about Seiber who was right in front of him. Instead, he held his hand that was nailed to the ground and screamed in pain.
"Bastard! How dare you! How dare you! Who the f * ck are you? Bastard! I'm going to kill you! "
"Bang"
His left leg was hit by a bullet, the bone was broken, and blood splattered everywhere. This successfully turned his roar into a wail, but Saber had heard enough. The entire Maxi Mafia's lair was swept by him and the The Devil Gang who were willing to follow him with overloaded firepower.
There were no living people here, and the wails of those people before they died didn't reduce his anger even a little bit.
"Your roar is really unpleasant to hear, can you shut up?"
Saber asked softly. Maximosi couldn't hear his voice at all. In other words, the boss of the Russian gangsters, who had been beaten down by pain, didn't care about what Saber said.
"Uh, guys who don't understand human language are really uncomfortable. But it doesn't matter, there are still 11 guys like you …"
"Goodbye, go to hell and repent your sins."
Saber tilted his head and took out the pistol from the holster under his arm. Two seconds later. "Bang"
Maximosi's body suddenly jumped, and then all the movements completely stopped. The extremely noisy darkness also became completely quiet at this moment. It was so quiet that it made people shudder. It was so quiet that it seemed that there was no living thing here.
But in fact, there was more. At the very least, when the gunshot rang out, Leonard, who was hiding in the corner, suddenly trembled. It wasn't that this young man had never seen a dead person before. Ever since he entered high school, he began to use his vicious wisdom to devise schemes for the gangs in Central City. More than one person had died under his schemes.
Leonard Snett had always thought that killing people was a very simple and boring thing. But tonight, Saber used another shocking way to tell this child how cruel, terrible, and terrifying killing people could be.
Under the dim light in the darkness, the dark red armor seemed to be dyed red by Maximosi's blood. Leonard didn't even dare to look up at him. He felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
Saber saw Leonard, who was hiding in the corner and trembling. In the darkness, he could see Leonard's face clearly. He was still a child, so he waved his hand. "Child, come, come here!"
Leonard didn't know how he walked to Saber's side, but his crazy warning instinct told him that he'd better do as this guy said.
"You're not from the Maxi Mafia, are you?"
Saber patted him on the shoulder and took out a box of cigars from Maximosi's bloody pocket. He took out two cigars, stuffed one into Leonard's mouth, and picked up the other one himself. He lit it up. Amidst the mellow smell of blood, Saber said in a low voice.
"You see, I used to think that gangs would surrender in the face of threats because they are a group of cowardly rats. But unfortunately, this time they crossed the line."
"Do you know what the consequences of crossing the line are?"
Saber let out a low laugh under the mask. "It's death, child."
He was like a rambling lunatic beside the scared Leonard and Maximosi's broken body. He muttered to himself in the darkness. He didn't have an audience, and he didn't need one.
"Since there are always people who like to see the world burn, then let me … fulfill their wishes."
