America 1881: Legend of the West

Soon after, the news that Ariana, the only daughter of the Gutierrez family, was to marry Ricardo, the eldest son of the Prigo family, quickly spread throughout Ciudad Juárez.

For ordinary people, life on the border is boring and difficult.

Thus, the joy of the superiors seemed to become theirs.

The entire city of Juarez was plunged into an atmosphere of joy.

But soon, people at the bottom realized that this matter had nothing to do with them.

The taxes that should be paid still have to be paid; the rent that should be paid to the landlord has not been reduced by one Mexican peso because of the marriage of the two families.

Poverty is the eternal theme for most people in this land.

In a house outside west Juarez, the mood is gloomy.

This is the headquarters of the Crocodile Gang.

A group of leaders of the Crocodile Gang gathered here to discuss the future of the gang.

The spot where former gang leader and founder Thiago once sat is now empty.

He has been dead for more than a week, but the Crocodile Gang hasn't even gotten Thiago's body yet.

So, a wooden cross now sits in that place, with a wreath of wildflowers hanging from it.

Because none of them knew Thiago's ridiculously long full name.

Therefore, only the abbreviation of Thiago's name was engraved on the cross:

DM

The big guys of the Crocodile Gang sat on both sides of the table.

Some of them stared at the table, some looked at the ceiling, and some smoked pipes one after another.

In short, everyone has their own ulterior motives and their own agenda.

Among all the people, the one with the most solemn expression was the long-haired mustache sitting first on the right.

He is the second-in-command of the Crocodile Gang and the veteran who followed Thiago all the way from the United States to Mexico.

After Thiago's death, he sent a message to the leaders of the Crocodile Gang outside the city, hoping that they would come to the base camp to hold a memorial service and further discuss future countermeasures.

But the second master found that except for a few elders who escaped from the United States with him, there were not many people who liked him.

These people were originally local snakes in Juarez. When the Crocodile Gang grew stronger, they actively or passively joined Thiago's disciples.

When Thiago is here, he can still use his interests and authority to overwhelm this group of people.

Now he is dead.

This group of people did not immediately run away with the original people, or betrayed them on the spot, which had already given him a huge favor.

"The boss is dead. You can't even get his body. You've been rejected by that old guy Gutierrez for more than a week. How can you have the nerve to ask us to hold a memorial service?"

The first to attack was the Sixth Master, commonly known as Lao Liu. He was a hairy man. He leaned forward on the table and began to question the Second Master.

"Lao Liu, just let it go. Who is Gutierrez? How could you not know? If it were you, who would be sure to grab something from him?"

The fifth master stood up to smooth things over. He usually had a good relationship with the second master and didn't want to see his brother in such a mess.

"Fuck you! If you don't have the ability, you have no ability. Have you ever seen a gang that can't even recover the gang leader's body?" Leader Six held the table with both hands and looked at the other people attending the meeting.

The second master's face turned the color of pig liver from suppressing his emotions.

"Let me tell you, there is no hope for the Crocodile Gang. It's better for everyone to divide the territory and take their own people to go their separate ways." The third boss picked at his fingers and said something strangely.

"That's what happened after we got the boss's body back. If we can't even get the body back, how can we all hang out on the street in the future?" The fiery Lao Liu slapped the table again.

"We have been trying this matter, but it is indeed difficult to handle." The fifth master was still trying to excuse the second master.

The fourth master, who had been silent on the side, suddenly took out his revolver and slapped it on the table with a "pop" sound:

"Is it difficult to do it? I think then don't do it!"

The fourth master brought his entire team today, and he was ready to take the opportunity to seize control of the Crocodile Gang.

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud "bang" was heard.

The door of the house was kicked open, and a yellow-skinned man appeared at the door with a group of people.

"Who are you?" The fourth master stood up and angrily shouted at the intruder.

What responded to him was the sound of a gunshot.

Flowers of blood bloomed on the fourth master's forehead, and his body fell straight backwards.

The boys behind him were about to draw their guns and fire back, but they found that behind the shooter, about twenty people had rushed in holding repeating rifles.

They were well-trained and moved quickly, quickly controlling the situation.

The second master didn't know the person standing at the door, but he knew Abiot who was beside him.

Before, it was Abiot who sent Gatlin to Thiago.

Therefore, he also guessed the identity of the person at the door.

"Mr. Chen" the second in charge also stood up.

Chen Jianqiu blew on the smoke that was still coming from the muzzle of Colt's gun:

"My good friend Thiago's body is still cold, and someone dares to kill him..."

He glanced at the empty seat with the cross on it, and considered his words, "Speaking nonsense in front of his spiritual throne."

Chen Jianqiu slowly walked behind each leader.

Every sitting leader felt a chill on his back.

They didn't know why the little brothers who were on guard outside didn't make any sound, so the devil king and his men in front of them broke in.

Chen Jianqiu walked behind the third master and stopped.

Abiot nodded towards Chen Jianqiu.

"Just now, there seemed to be another person who said he wanted to break up. I don't think this is good."

Chen Jianqiu's words were filled with a hint of coolness, like a snake's letter licking the back of the third master's neck.

The third master's hand suddenly went down to pull out the gun from his waist.

However, Chen Jianqiu behind him had already pulled the trigger.

The Third Master's head hit the table like a ball.

There was a pool of blood on the table, splashing all over the people on both sides of his seat.

Chen Jianqiu put the gun back into the holster on his waist.

No one among the leaders of the Crocodile Gang at the scene dared to move, and the room was completely silent.

Chen Jianqiu took out a pack of cigarettes from his clothes, took one out and lit it.

He put the cigarette in his mouth and took a puff, then walked to the empty seat and put the cigarette on the wreath.

He looked at the name on the cross with regret and said:

"If you had listened to me and not touched Scott's brother, the end wouldn't be so miserable now."

Except for the second boss and a few of Thiago's old subordinates, no one else could understand what Chen Jianqiu was talking about.

The second master nodded with deep understanding.

Yes, if the boss hadn't been so impulsive, he would still be a popular hot drinker in New Mexico.

"If you can't find a way to get Thiago's body back, don't say I look down on you. No one on the Mexican road will look down on you."

Chen Jianqiu made a slight gesture towards Abiot, indicating that he would translate his words.

After listening to his words, Head Six sat up straighter.

"But you are arguing here and blaming each other here. Can you bring Thiago's body back to the discussion?"

Chen Jianqiu walked around the conference table.

"But, there is no way we can compete with Gutierrez." The second master hesitated for a moment. Although it was embarrassing, he still expressed his concerns.

Chen Jianqiu looked like he hated the fact that iron cannot become steel:

"What are you? You are bandits! You are the biggest gang in Juarez! Gutierrez is not Scott, he is just a large hacienda owner!"

He waved outside.

Several people moved in a few wooden boxes.

Chen Jianqiu kicked open the lid of the wooden box.

The leaders in the room craned their necks to look at the box and discovered that there were brand new repeating rifles inside.

"I'll give you a chance." Chen Jianqiu glanced at each leader, "A chance to make a fortune."

"A week later, it's the wedding of Gutierrez's daughter. Their base camp must be unprepared by then. Not only can you snatch Thiago's body back, you can also rob it. You wanted to rob it before but didn't dare. s things!"

Chen Jianqiu said meaningfully:

"They are very rich."
