Chapter 236: Taking advantage of your illness to kill you is the kingly way
Lu Qi's idea was carefully considered.
With the thugs losing ground, the Nighthawk Gang must seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and quickly capture the adjacent administrative districts, connect the territory as much as possible, and integrate manpower and resources.
Only in this way can gang forces be better managed and gangs' counterattacks better resisted.
Lu Qi would never be soft-hearted when dealing with enemies.
Killing you while you are sick is the right thing to do!
Upon hearing Lu Qi's gang conquest plan, Jacob immediately raised his hands in agreement.
As he said himself, he came to London not to look for antiques, but to hunt Templars and gangsters!
Perhaps, the latter is more attractive to him...
As for Evie, she doesn't have any special thoughts about it.
She didn't want to get involved in gang street fights. She just wanted to quietly study the documents and the keys to the treasure trove found in Kenway's mansion, and concentrate on pursuing clues about the Holy Shroud.
Ever since, London, which is adjacent to Whitechapel District, has become the next target of the Nighthawk Gang...
...
The City of London, located in the center of London, is one of the seven boroughs and the most special one.
And the boss of the thug gang that rules this borough, "Bloody" Nora is also the most special one among the entire thug gang.
Because she is a woman!
Although the ruler of the Empire on which the sun never sets is Queen Victoria, she is also a woman. However, in the context of the times, the status of women is not as high as imagined.
What's more, in a gang where all members are evil and full of male hormones!
One can imagine how much effort Nola put in to climb to her current position.
It was precisely in the process of climbing up step by step, her ruthless heart and violent behavior that she got the nickname "Bloody".
Compared with Stern, this nicknamed female high school hero did not flinch or run away when she received the challenge from the Nighthawk Gang, but chose to fight head-on!
However, the huge gap in strength is not so easy to make up for.
Although she summoned several gunmen to fight to the death in the gang war.
However, under the joint attack of Lu Qi and Jacob, "Bloody" Nora and her men were crushed to pieces without any accident, like a mantis using its arms as a chariot.
And Nora also got the same fate as Stern...
...
The menacing Nighthawks gang successively captured the two boroughs of Lambeth and London, causing strong uneasiness among the bosses of other boroughs of the Thug Gang.
Especially Baltz, the eldest son of Southwark, which is sandwiched between the City of London and Lambeth, was almost too worried to eat and lost several pounds.
If one were to choose one person among the thugs who knew Lu Qi best, it would definitely be Baltz.
After all, the first time Lu Qi showed his terrifying fighting prowess was in his fight club!
At that time, he could tell at a glance that this Asian man with a very warm smile was definitely not an ordinary person.
However, he did not expect that the Nighthawk Gang led by the other party would become a powerful force competing with the Thug Gang in just two months.
In fact, confrontation is just a nice thing to say. Everyone can see the current situation. The Nighthawk Gang is just pushing the Thug Gang to the ground and rubbing them like crazy!
It took the Thug Gang ten years to take over the seven boroughs of London. The Nighthawks took down three boroughs in two months. How can this be compared?
With no choice but to feel uneasy, Baltz had no choice but to go to the private theater of Ross, the leader of the mob gang, to ask for countermeasures.
In his opinion, if this continues, the Nighthawks Gang will sooner or later destroy each district one by one, eventually replacing the Thug Gang and becoming the new underground king of London!
However, Rose's answer did not satisfy him...
...
Under the dim street lights, a carriage slowly drove away from the Strand area.
On the carriage, Baltz, wearing a top hat and a black dress, lowered his head and lowered his eyes.
And in his mind, the meeting with Ross just now was still swirling.
Regarding Baltz's concerns, I don't know whether he is confident or just incapable of doing anything, but Ross seems to be indifferent.
He just took Baltz to watch a newly rehearsed play and had dinner together, during which time he completely talked about the dangerous situation facing the mob gang.
It wasn't until Baltz was about to leave that Ross proposed a less than brilliant plan to him.
Ross’s plan is just eight words:
Pretending to surrender, waiting for an opportunity to backstab!
In short, what Rose meant was to have Baltz pretend to surrender to the Nighthawk Gang, and then wait for the right time to stab Lu Qi in the back!
To be honest, Baltz personally is not optimistic about this plan.
Because, based on his understanding of Lu Qi, he was a very calm, cautious and methodical young man.
Not to mention whether the other party would accept his surrender, even if he accepted it, Lu Qi would definitely be suspicious of him and would not trust him easily.
By the time he gains Lu Qi's trust, maybe the thug gang has been wiped out by the Nighthawk Gang, so why talk about backstabbing?!
After thinking about it, the more Baltz thought about it, the more wrong he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ross's idea had no chance of succeeding.
The reason why Baltz became the boss of Southwark District was largely due to his shrewd mind.
Reason told him that the thug gang was gone.
Rather than staying in an old sailing ship that is about to sink, accompanying those people, it is better to change the door and board another steamship that rides the wind and waves!
Thinking of this, Baltz quickly made a decision!
He stretched out his hand and knocked on the roof of the carriage a few times, and asked the man who was driving the carriage:
"Harlan, where are you?"
"Just passed London Bridge, almost back to the mansion..."
Hearing this, Baltz raised his eyebrows and immediately ordered:
"Turn around and go to the train station in Whitechapel!"
"Sir, this is the territory of the Nighthawk Gang. It is very unsafe after this time..."
"It doesn't matter, I just want to meet the people from the Nighthawk Gang..."
...
Ten minutes later, Baltz finally met the leader of the Nighthawk Gang in the stationmaster's office at the Whitechapel District Railway Station.
Seeing Baltz, an old acquaintance, Lu Qi sitting on the chair, he couldn't help but smile lightly, opened his arms, and said:
"Long time no see, Mr. Baltz..."
Taking off his hat, Baltz bowed slightly and then said: "Your Excellency Tyson, oh, or Mr. Mars?"
After sizing up Baltz, Lu Qi raised his hand and said:
"The name is just a code name...sit down."
As soon as Baltz sat down and before explaining his purpose, he heard Lu Qi say:
Chapter completed!
