Chapter 253 The Archangel of the Slums (Subscription Request)
The "street angels" that Claire mentioned are not just a gang, but also a grassroots self-governing organization of Patus Street.
Like Musk Justice and Claire Rossi, most residents of Patus Street are middle- and lower-class immigrants from the Sea Blue Kingdom and their descendants.
Most of the Sea Blue people attach great importance to family, affection and traditional culture. Even if they leave their hometown and make a living abroad, they rarely adapt to the local customs and still adhere to their own language, religion and customs. This makes it difficult for Sea Blue immigrants and their descendants to integrate into the local mainstream society.
A group of Sea Blue immigrants come to a foreign country to make a living and settle in a certain neighborhood. In the following days, as long as one person in this immigrant family has a firm foothold, they will find ways to help their fellow villagers and invite their relatives, friends and even neighbors who are struggling in their hometown.
Over time, the entire neighborhood has evolved into a gathering place for Sea Blue immigrants. Locals either intermarry with Sea Blue people and gradually assimilate, or simply move to other neighborhoods and stop being neighbors with these foreigners.
Such a situation is common in the countries of Vares, so much so that all major cities have neighborhoods named "Sea Blue Street", "Petus Street" or "Little Petus" - Petus is the capital of the Sea Blue Kingdom.
As we all know, neighborhoods where foreign immigrants live are often full of gangs and a mixed crowd due to language and cultural barriers, and the immigrants are very close, which brings many security problems to city managers.
This phenomenon is particularly prominent in Patus Street, where residents are generally poor.
The Avalon City Government once spent a lot of effort to deal with the gang problem in Patus Street, but the result was always a lot of thunder and little rain, and it ended hastily.
Unless the tens of thousands of Sea Blue residents in this neighborhood are all expelled from the country, or forcibly demolished and dispersed to other areas, so that they cannot form a scale and keep warm together, otherwise this problem has no solution at all.
Both measures were impractical, and the mayor of Avalon simply didn't bother to care. As long as the Hailan guys didn't go to other neighborhoods to cause trouble, the police would turn a blind eye to local security incidents.
In this state of lawlessness, Patus Street did not become completely lawless. Local residents were still subject to unwritten rules. The organizations that replaced the official establishment and maintenance of order were local gangs of all sizes.
On the way to the "Paradise Tavern", Gao Fei, out of curiosity, asked Claire about the inside story of "Street Angels" and gained a deeper understanding of this most powerful gang on Patus Street.
The survival and growth of any gang cannot be separated from money.
The source of funds for "Street Angels" is not special. It is nothing more than collecting protection fees, lending, smuggling, smuggling, selling stolen goods, plus opening casinos and engaging in flesh trade, as well as gray businesses such as selling intelligence and acting as bounty hunters.
However, "Street Angels" is also a gang with a bottom line. They also lend money, and the interest they require is indeed higher than that of loans from formal channels, but compared with those usurious merchants who eat people without leaving bones, they seem very conscientious.
"Street Angels" also run brothels and engage in flesh trade, but at least they prohibit forcing women of good character into prostitution, and the exploitation of street girls is not as cruel as other pimps.
Through these channels, "Street Angels" have obtained sufficient financial resources, most of which are used to maintain gang operations, while also taking into account public affairs.
That's right, the gang also has to manage public affairs on the territory.
Including public security, medical care, education, relief, household registration management, weddings and funerals, and dispute mediation, these affairs that should have been managed by the civil affairs department, in the lawless place of Patus Street, are all handled by the gang headed by "Street Angels".
If there is any movement on the street, the police may not know, but "Street Angels" can get the most comprehensive information at the first time.
Today, the police and the gangs on Patus Street are no longer mortal enemies who are incompatible with each other, and there is still a lot of cooperation in private.
Using the power of "Street Angels" to manage foreign immigrants has proved to be an effective strategy, although it is not worthy of being shown on the stage.
The current "godfather" of "Street Angels", the big brother who is both black and white, is Umberto Esposito, nicknamed "Archangel".
Gao Fei noticed that whenever Claire mentioned this underworld big brother, she would naturally show her admiration from the bottom of her heart, which made him more curious about this "Archangel".
After 10 o'clock in the morning, Gao Fei and Claire brought a lion... disguised as a poodle to the headquarters of "Street Angels", "Paradise Tavern".
The tavern was noisy, full of drunkards and idle street thugs.
In the center of the tavern hall, there is a boxing ring, two shirtless strong men are fighting on the stage, surrounded by people watching the excitement. There are also people who set up gambling games and shout loudly to attract spectators to place bets.
Gao Fei followed Claire through the crowd and came to the bar.
"Hi! Brother Umberto, good afternoon!"
Claire greeted a man sitting at the bar with his back to her.
The man slowly turned around and raised his glass to Claire, but said nothing.
Gao Fei took the opportunity to look at the "Archangel" whose name he had long heard of, and found that he was younger than he expected, about 25 years old, with a slender figure and well-proportioned muscles. The scar on his cheek did not destroy his handsome appearance. His bright and almost transparent blonde hair was tied into a ponytail, and his unshaven chin was a little sloppy, but it also created a bohemian temperament, a bit like a younger Geralt.
In general, Gao Fei had a good first impression of this gangster. He hoped that he would not be set as a villain.
Gao Fei followed Claire to the bar and quietly opened the star disk, wanting to investigate Umberto Esposito's background, but the system told him that "it is not possible to investigate high-level NPCs at present."
Gao Fei had encountered similar situations before, so it is not difficult to guess that Umberto will not show his strength in the short term. Only when the plot advances to a certain stage and he personally takes action, Gao Fei can see his depth.
Umberto seems to be a silent and introverted person. He sat there playing with the wine glass and silently listened to Claire's explanation of the purpose. His thick eyebrows were locked and his face was displeased.
Then, Umberto turned his head to look at Gao Fei, and his sapphire-like eyes revealed a hint of blame.
"Your name is Musk?"
"Yes, Mr. Esposito."
"From your words and deeds, it is obvious that you have received a good education. I can tell you honestly that being in a gang is not a good way for young people. I will buy you a glass of lemon soda, and then you can go home before your parents lose their temper!"
Umberto said coldly.
