"..."
At midnight, Lion alone on the roof.
Tonight's moon is very round, the bright moonlight falling on the rooftop slightly relaxes his tense heart.
Facing an existence that can kill oneself at any time, even if he knows that the other party is unlikely to kill him, otherwise there is no need to go through all this trouble to save him, but the heart will still be somewhat scared and nervous.
"Here comes the man."
A familiar voice resounded, and he looked up, following the sound.
Sometime, George wearing the death mask appeared above him, slowly walking down from the air under the moonlight, it was as if he were a god.
"Mr. Death, what do you want?"
Leon instinctively bent down.
George landed and looked up and down at Leon saying:
"If I kill the leadership of the remaining twelve families in the Bronx, can you take over all their territories?"
He thought for a moment and concluded that cash alone was too little. If he were to collaborate with Lyon and take over the entire underground world of the Bronx, then he could split it with Lyon.
Only then would it be truly a big score, and he wouldn't have to worry about money anymore in the future.
As for whether the Bronx becomes better or worse after Lyon takes over the entire underground world, it would not be his concern.
To be honest, the hardships of these people have nothing to do with him. He's not a superhero constantly thinking of saving others or saving the world. He can barely save himself, let alone others.
"What...what...what..."
Leon's legs went weak when he heard this, and he almost fell down in shock.
He didn't expect that George's first words upon arrival would be so bold. He had just turned the Chebel family into the Lyon family, and now he was being asked to take over the entire underground world of the Bronx.
That the twelve families are all unfriendly.
However, when he saw the seriousness in George's eyes and knew that he was not joking, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
To be honest, it was genuinely tempting for him, but in the end, he sighed and shook his head:
"Impossible. My strength can't handle so many families, even if I could, I wouldn't want to."
"Why?"
George raised an eyebrow, understanding the first reason but puzzled by what the latter meant.
Lyon quickly explained to avoid angering George:
"You may not be aware that there are thirteen families in the Bronx for a reason. It's because of the King of the American underworld, Jin Bao, who set down this rule. "
Even if you kill everyone from the other twelve families, I can't just take all their territories. New twelve families would eventually replace the old ones.
Jin won't allow families to arise in the Bronx that threaten his status.
"Jin Bao, what if he were killed?"
George's brows furrowed slightly.
He knew Jin Bao, but he didn't realize the extent of Jin Bao's influence on the underworld, even controlling the number of families in this area.
However, Jin Bao was still an ordinary person. Even though his physical strength and other aspects were close to the human limit, it wasn't too difficult to kill him. The challenge was finding him.
"Sss~~"
Lyon couldn't help but take a deep breath when George said killing Jin Bao was as easy as killing a chicken.
"This, even if you kill Jin Bao, it's not that simple.
If Jin Bao were to die, the entire underworld would be thrown into chaos. Then, all the families would certainly start a fight, not just in the Bronx, but also with other powerful families elsewhere.
"With my strength, I can't protect the entire Bronx, and even my current territory might be under threat."
"That's settled then."
George thought that Lyon's words made sense. Unless he cleaned up the entire American underworld, he couldn't be sure that Lyon wouldn't be eliminated if he weren't around.
Moreover, he didn't have the time and energy to do so, and doing so would inevitably attract the attention of major organization forces, also going against his initial intention.
Earning money is just to have more time to stabilize and study magic. Spending a lot of time and energy on wiping out the underworld would be a case of putting the cart before the horse.
"Then, just solve one family, and take over their territories and property, is that a problem?"
George spoke again.
This time, Lyon did not refuse immediately but pondered for a few seconds before replying:
"If it's just one family, it's no problem. Later, I will support a small family and ensure that the number of families remains the same. At most, Jin Bao will send people to scold a few words."
Such events have happened in the Bronx before. The thirteen families jointly manage the Bronx, and they have often fought fiercely for their interests. Even small families defeating larger ones to take power is not uncommon.
In terms of such conflicts, Jin Bao has always been happy to see them happen. On the contrary, it's not what Jin Bao would want to see if the thirteen families were united as one.
"Alright, then provide me with a family that you have a problem with. I'll make their leadership die unexpectedly in the next few days. Then you take their territories and we split the profits fifty-fifty."
George nodded. Since he couldn't eliminate all twelve families, taking out one and gaining all the benefits would still be substantial, and splitting it equally would be plenty.
At least it should be more than what he had originally planned to just steal the cash from the twelve families.
"The Caldson family. Their territories are right next to ours and often clash with us. This time, while I was fighting with Little Chebel, they took a lot of our territory."
I had also planned to have a showdown with them to reclaim that territory. If their leadership suddenly dies, I am confident that I can take over all of their territories."
Leon's expression became somewhat excited at this moment.
Even if the benefits were divided five-fifty, or even given to George in full, he would have no objection.
You see, George had saved his life, and during this time, the Caldson family took advantage of the situation and he had lost several close brothers. He hadn't intended to let them off the hook in the first place.
Just now, after experiencing internal strife, his strength was significantly weakened. A fight against them would be impossible, and he could only at best make them feel uncomfortable.
But now that the mysterious Mr. Death was willing to intervene, this grudge could definitely be avenged.
"Collect intelligence on this family, and I'll come by tomorrow night to pick it up."
After leaving one sentence, George jumped off the rooftop and disappeared into the darkness.
Although it deviates from his original plan, the outcome is not too bad.
He is not a god and cannot anticipate everything. Even with many advantages in intelligence, there are bound to be some mistakes.
However, he believes that this is quite normal. If plans change, then make new ones. What's important is that he needs to have the ability to change plans smoothly while still achieving his goals.
So in the end, strength is fundamental. With strength, even if the world is so chaotic that it deviates completely from what he knows, it's not a big deal.
