Chapter 36: Behead someone for a treat and accept him as a dog!
"Okay, I gave you the knife to cut the rope, not to let you use it to chop people."
Leon's shout stopped Brick who was about to kill Doom.
"Don't make my company's floor dirty. Take this guy back by yourself. It's up to you what to do with him. I won't ask any more questions."
The way out given by Leon finally made Brick feel at ease. Although he never liked Royce, the young and inexperienced second brother, he was still quite satisfied with Doom, the third brother.
It is indeed unlikely that the three brothers have no feelings at all. Even if they are betrayed, Brick is reluctant to kill them.
Now that this silly boy Doom had caused such a big disaster, he was able to save half his life. For Brick, this was already the best outcome.
"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Leon!"
Brick dropped his samurai sword and almost knelt down to Leon.
Li Ang waved his hand. The drama he put on today was just a simple foreplay. The most important thing was yet to come.
The Red Queen's Running Club mob incident will surely drive Lucius to crack down on the gang thugs in Watson District.
As the king of Little Chinatown, LA Company not only has the most advanced weapons and equipment, but has also established the largest mercenary department in Night City, recruiting retired veterans and professional mercenaries.
If nothing unexpected happens, Lucius will definitely cooperate deeply with LA Company to destroy the gang forces in Watson District.
The Triads, the Tiger Claw Gang, the Whirlpool Gang, the Scavengers, all of them will be severely beaten!
But what Li Ang has to do is not to "dig up the house and sweep away all the gang forces", but to subdue them under the company and use them for his own purposes!
The reason is very simple, that is, the gang forces in Night City cannot be eradicated at all.
They are like weeds taking root in this free city; even if one batch is burned by fire, there will always be a new batch to follow.
In this case, Leon simply takes control of the gang forces here himself. Those who are obedient will work together to make progress, while those who are disobedient will be replaced by an obedient person.
This time, Brick's "killing his own relatives for the sake of justice" drama within the Whirlpool Gang was not only a token of Brick's allegiance, but also a warning from Li Ang to Chen Tao and Susan Kui.
"From now on, the Watson District will be managed by my LA company, and the business in the northern industrial area and the northern part of the Kabuki District will be managed by the Uzumaki Gang."
“Little Chinatown and the waterfront are run by the Triads.”
"The southern part of the Kabuki district and the Lizzie's Bar are managed by the Mox Gang."
"You can continue your gang business as usual, but you cannot harm the employees of LA Company and the civilians of Watson District. As for other things, I will not take care of them for now."
Li Ang looked at the three people and said, "I have finished speaking. Who agrees and who disagrees?"
Chen Tao was the first to raise his hand and said loudly, "I agree!"
Just kidding, being able to be a dog in an LA company is a lifetime blessing. Even if other gangs want to be one, they can’t!
"I have no opinion."
Susan Quay said it didn't matter.
The Mox Gang, which represents the rights of vulnerable groups such as sex dolls, prostitutes, and grooms in Night City, has always been a small and transparent gang.
No one cares whether they live or die.
Now that there is an LA company backing it up, it may still be as useless as before, but at least it has some corporate background, and maybe it can scare off some ignorant street kids who come to cause trouble. "I agree too!"
Brick was completely frightened by Leon's methods. Facing the absolute strength of the company, any gang in Night City was nothing!
Since you can't beat them, just join them.
Since it is impossible to do any murder and robbery in Watson District, the worst that can happen is to go to other districts to cause trouble. If all else fails, go to Heywood or St. Domingo!
In short, just don't mess with LA companies anymore and just be honest and obedient.
Facing the unanimous statement of these three people, Li Ang smiled with satisfaction. He felt much more comfortable that there was no troublemaker who was deliberately looking for trouble to oppose him.
Although Li Ang can completely destroy the Triads, the Whirlpool Gang and other forces on his own, as the head of the company, he must respect the original ecological environment here.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish.
Leon's goal is the entire cyber world, to completely end this chaotic and disorderly world of collapse and establish a new order!
"very good."
Leon nodded, and at his eye signal, Lucy called the security personnel outside to clean the floor and told them to start serving the food.
The custom of the Far Eastern Chinese is to talk while eating, but in order to avoid overturning the table due to disagreement and thus wasting food, Li Ang is accustomed to reaching an agreement first and then eating.
Seeing Royce, with only half of his head left, being dragged out like a dead dog, Brick's fear of Leon and LA Company gradually seeped into his bones and soul.
This giant company is so scary!
……
……
Westbrook District, Charter Hill.
In a private luxury apartment in Ellison Square, several leaders of the Tiger Claw Gang, including Hiromi Sato, Taketo, Jotaro and others, were watching the news program on TV.
#N54 News: Councillor Lucius survived a desperate situation and is now in good condition. He strongly stated that he would never tolerate any evil gang forces! #
#WNSNews: Lucius Lane's vote supporters are increasing significantly, and he is currently 3 points ahead of his competitor Wilton Holt! He is expected to become the new mayor of Night City! #
#BigMike: LA company publicly expressed its support for Lucius' determination to fight crime and announced that it would join Watson's transformation plan!
I believe that it won’t be long before we see buildings belonging to LA companies in the company square at the Civic Center! I wish Night City will get better and better. #
#……#
"This matter has become a big deal!"
In front of the TV, Jotaro Masaharu, who was sitting on the sofa, folded his hands and sneered with disdain in his eyes.
"I've told you guys a long time ago that it's impossible for those cyber lunatics in the Uzumaki Gang to accomplish anything! But you just didn't listen to me."
"Once that fat guy Lucius becomes mayor, he will definitely hand over Watson District to LA Company for full management. By then, what about the Kabuki District? We won't even be able to defend our own territory!"
Jotaro's worries are not without reason.
Lucius apparently vowed in front of the media that he would crack down on criminal activities, but in fact he just let the company's troops deal with the local bullies.
In exchange, the company will obtain the greatest rights and interests in this piece of land!
Even the police officers in the NCPD have to serve as the company's watchdogs and put the company's interests first.
After all, this is how Arasaka Corporation has come this far.
Jotaro Masahiro, who is well aware of his master's dark history, is of course very clear about what LA Company will do next.
Treat them to guests, behead them, and accept them as dogs!
