Li Wei also laughed, his fingers rubbing the greasy wine glass. His face was full of nostalgia as he said emotionally, "Yes, this was my original dream."
"I like Bermuda. Other than the fact that it's simpler than the Federation and the rules of reason with fists, the food here is more to my liking."
"You like meat, I like meat too. In fact, I found that as long as you're human, who doesn't like meat? Of course, I'm talking about the real kind of meat. "
Li Wei drank a glass of wine and narrowed his eyes as he reminisced about the past. "When I was kidnapped by the Tai family and brought to Bermuda, life was actually pretty good. They didn't mistreat me much, but they refused to give me meat. They probably didn't remember that the young captive was actually not afraid of death. What he was afraid of was not being able to taste meat in a place like Bermuda where he could eat as much as he wanted."
He pointed at the house opposite the barbecue stall and said with a smile, "I was there at that time, smelling the barbecue smell every day."
Back then, in order to threaten Xu Le, the madam of Mochou's Back Mountain kidnapped Li Wei from Dong Lin to Bermuda. For Li Wei, who had never experienced any real danger and lived in the remote Dong Lin, he could imagine what kind of soul-stirring experience and what kind of painful memories it was.
Xu Le raised his glass and drank it. He had never asked about the details of what happened back then. As a brother, he didn't need to ask.
"The first time we met at the Federation, you treated me to a barbecue in Wangdu. It tasted good, but it was a pity that there wasn't any real meat."
Li Wei wrinkled his nose and sniffed the barbecue smell behind him. He said, "I've never forgotten the smell of this barbecue stall, especially the roasted lamb leg. When I was locked up at that time, I could even hear the sizzling sound of the lamb leg dripping with oil every night."
At this moment, the smell of roasted lamb leg and the clear sizzling sound of oil coming from the barbecue stall behind the small table made the two look at each other and smile.
Li Wei wiped his mouth and said loudly, "So when I came to Bermuda, the first thing I did was eat roasted lamb leg at this stall for a month! In the end, I vomited! "
The owner of the barbeque stall heard half of the conversation and deliberately complained, "Master Wei, look at what you're saying. My barbeque leg of lamb is known as the best in the entire universe. Why would you vomit after eating it?"
A burst of pleasing and flattering laughter sounded around the barbecue stall.
The smile on Li Wei's face gradually disappeared. He looked at Xu Le and said seriously, "Did you hear that? I am no longer Li Wei, nor am I Brother Wei. I am Master Wei."
"Eating meat to my heart's content was my initial dream. Being a real mafia boss is my eternal dream. I've already completed the first one, and I've also completed more than half of the latter one. You interfered yesterday, and I can already see the success … I said in the car just now, this city is now mine."
Xu Le's thick eyebrows slowly furrowed. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Li Wei. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Li Wei looked at him angrily and scolded, "I didn't sell drugs, I didn't force women into prostitution, and I didn't kill the innocent! F * ck! You've been nagging like an old man since you were three years old. Now we're already thirty and you're still like this! You're so annoying! "
Xu Le scratched his head and laughed, "What's so annoying about this kind of thing?"
The roasted leg of lamb was ready. Li Wei took the plate from behind and cut a piece for Xu Le. He then put a piece into his mouth. He frowned and resisted the urge to vomit. He swallowed a mouthful of wine and said vaguely, "Be serious.
"Let's be serious. What I want to say is that my life dream has been fulfilled. I know you didn't have any life dreams since you were young, but now that you've made it this far, you must have a lot to do this time."
"If you need my help, you can't be polite with me. I have no regrets in life now. No regrets, do you understand? This means that I don't care about anything. "
…
…
It was a very crude and simple sentence, but it was definitely not a jerk.
The atmosphere at the small square table was warm. Xu Le looked at Li Wei, who was spitting saliva with his head lowered. He suppressed the emotions in his heart and asked with a smile, "You don't care that I'm from the Empire? You're a proper member of the Federation. "
"You used to be a hero of the Federation, and I used to be a gangster. Did you care?"
Li Wei looked up at him and asked seriously, "After you escaped from the Federation, I thought you would come to Bermuda to find me. I told you before that I would prepare a backup plan for you in Bermuda. Why didn't you come to find me? "
Xu Le was silent for a moment before he replied with a smile, "It's indeed inconvenient. I'm not lying to you. I'm now a proper prince of the Empire."
"F * ck." Li Wei said self-deprecatingly, "I knew it was because of this. I thought you would never see me again after you became the Emperor of the Empire."
"The Emperor also has a few poor relatives." Xu Le deliberately mocked.
Li Wei mocked back, "Even if you became the Emperor, you relied on your parents. Using the word you taught me when I was young, this can only be considered a genital revolution."
"I'm different from you. The Orphan Gang's territory was built by me. I admit that Big Brother Midmountain only took a second look at me because of you, but I won't be polite with you on this matter. "
He raised his glass and said seriously, "My ability is really good. Although it's definitely not as good as yours, I still have a few tricks up my sleeve."
Xu Le understood what Li Wei meant. He knew that he would definitely have to return to the Federation to participate in that seemingly hopeless battle, so he wanted to help him.
However, Xu Le might accept this kind of help because Li Wei had his own subordinates who needed his protection. Hence, he changed the topic directly.
"How have you been in Bermuda these past few years?"
Li Wei understood what he meant and simply stopped talking about it.
"Not bad. Bermuda is rich in resources. The biggest income is from smuggling to the Federation and the Empire. Irregular trade accounts for more than ninety percent of the annual income. The most important thing is the cargo route."
"Because of the war in the Left Sky Galaxy, Bermuda is now a little bleak." Li Wei pointed at the road they came from and explained, "When the war is over, you will see that this place is really lively, especially those cargo spaceships. The density of spaceships taking off and landing every day is so high that it's hard to believe."
"I know a little about the Federation's smuggling."
Xu Le took the knife and began to cut the rest of the roasted lamb leg. He asked, "There are many things I don't understand about the Empire's smuggling."
"Our Empire's Crown Prince is now traveling incognito and caring about the economic lives of his subjects?" Li Wei joked.
"I've seen the smuggling ships of the Empire's nobles."
Xu Le put down the knife and gestured with his fingers. He frowned and said, "Those ships are very small and can't carry people at all. And before seventy-two years of the Constitutional Era, the Empire had no way to pass through the warp hole. How could they collect money from Bermuda's smugglers and complete such a transaction? "
"Those ships are called shuttles. The probability of safely passing through the Gary Corridor is very high."
Li Wei put down the wine glass in his hand and shook his head. "You used to be a war hero of the Federation. Don't you know that the Empire has been sending small spaceships carrying the Royal Special Forces to force their way through the warp hole for decades?"
Xu Le spread his hands and said, "I do know about this. At that time, I only thought that this method was pushing the elites into a sea of fire. It was too tragic. Could it be that it has something to do with the smuggling on both sides?"
"Even if they were pushing the Royal Special Forces into a sea of fire, after seventy years, there were always some lucky ones who survived. They didn't get crushed by the warp hole and escaped The Glory Of The Charter. In the end, these people all came to Bermuda."
Xu Le remembered that Group 7's main combat mission was to use an unofficial identity to fight against the smuggled imperial special forces on the mineral stars in the Bermuda region. Madman Li's first battlefield was also in these places.
"I don't know how many of the Empire's Royal Special Forces are in Bermuda. Some of them may have disguised themselves as coolies, while others may have become merchants, hiding on these planets."
Li Wei looked at the buildings under the blue light and said, "There may be people from the Empire in this city. This barbecue stall owner might be one of them. I even suspect that there are people from the Empire among the leaders who didn't participate in the war."
"If you reveal your identity now and shout that I am the Empire's Crown Prince Xu Le on the street, maybe someone will immediately run out and kneel in front of you with their whole family. They will give you their decades of wealth and guns to pledge their loyalty to you."
Xu Le smiled bitterly and filled the glass.
"More than sixty years ago, there was a former member of the Bermuda Conference who tried to renege on a huge deal. He had many loyal subordinates and powerful guns. He thought that since the Empire's fleet couldn't come over, why should he be afraid of you?"
"What happened next?" Xu Le asked with a frown.
"Later, this former leader was assassinated and finally died."
"It's that simple."
"Simple?"
Li Wei recalled the famous Bermuda story, shook his head, and sighed. "Regardless of whether you were eating, visiting prostitutes, or having sex, dozens of imperial special forces hidden in the city hunted you down day and night without regard for their lives. This went on for three whole years, and everyone had to die."
Xu Le's fingers that were holding the glass slightly stiffened. He couldn't help but feel a chill as he thought of the bloody and ruthless hunts of the past years.
"There were a few such stories in the old days, and the ending of each story was the same. The Empire didn't care how many hidden elites they lost. They just wanted to kill your whole family."
"Since then, although the smuggling trade between Bermuda and the Empire was still one-sided and unregulated, no one dared to renege on the deal anymore."
"As for the payment you asked about, because the currency is not universal, the transactions between the two sides are all about the exchange of goods, especially aircraft and related technologies. The Empire offers the highest price. Although Bermuda's standard in this regard is not as good as the Federation, it is better than the Empire. "
"The Federation doesn't care?"
"Many people in Bermuda have always suspected that Lin Banshan suddenly came to Bermuda to supervise this trade on behalf of the Federation."
"After the incident in February of that year, no one in Bermuda dared to go against his will, and then the import of aviation technology to the Empire completely stopped."
Xu Le listened to this and his eyes gradually narrowed.
